Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"The old lady did some things wrong. I'm sorry for you." Lanhua said.

At this time, Zhang had also finished drinking the medicine, and she and Xiaolan glared at Cui.

At this time, Cui sat there, her whole body stiff, her head down and silent. Xiao Lan knew that Cui's behavior was already a sign of weakness. In the past, even if it was a perverse reason, Cui would have argued with her neck. In Cui's concept, she could not be wrong. If she was wrong, it was someone else's fault and someone else had wronged her.

"Old Third Wife," Lanhua said pitifully. She knew that Zhang was the easiest to talk to in Xiaolan's family. She only asked Zhang to nod her head and Xiaolan would help for her mother's sake. She never dared to underestimate Xiaolan's power, and she was even more afraid to underestimate it after learning that she went to Qingyuan to meet the noble. Now Shengxuan has not come back, and Xiaowen is still in the capital. Although Zhang has sent people to find Shengxuan, Xiaolan did not say anything wrong. Whether the person she arranged can find Shengxuan is another matter. Considering these, Lanhua continued, "Old Third Wife, the old lady is sorry for you. Now she knows she was wrong. You have also seen that she does not go out easily. This time she came to see you in person to admit her mistakes and make amends. Old Third Wife, you are the most tolerant person in our family. If you don't look at anything else, just because the old lady came out to visit you at such an old age, you should not be so rude to her." After Lanhua finished speaking, she looked at Zhang expectantly.

Cui snorted, but it didn't sound like a cold snort.

Xiao Lan immediately said to Lan Hua, "Look how angry you have made the old lady. Do you think your opinion represents her opinion? How about this, you two should go back today. The old lady has just recovered from her illness. Let's talk about it after she is well..."

Lanhua was naturally unwilling to accept that she had come here but had not gotten any results. She looked at Zhang and Xiaolan with some embarrassment. She now understood that even though she had apologized to them on behalf of Cui, they were not buying it. What they wanted was for Cui to apologize in person.

Lanhua knew how bad Cui's temper was and how much she looked down on her daughter-in-law, so she was not sure whether she could persuade Cui to apologize to Zhang.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she has to try, because the lives of her husband and son hang on this. "Mom, what did we say at home? Didn't we agree at that time? Mom, please repeat what you said at home in front of the third son's wife, just say it once." Lanhua pleaded with Cui.

Cui remained unmoved.

"Mom, I beg you," Lanhua knelt down to Cui. "Mom, human life is at stake, I beg you, you can't just watch me become a widow, otherwise there will be no one to take care of me in my old age..." Lanhua hugged Cui's arm and cried.

Even though Lanhua was crying like this, Cui remained unmoved. Lanhua was already out of breath from crying, and Cui finally moved.

Cui suddenly stood up from the chair. Perhaps because she stood up too fast, her body swayed, but she didn't fall down because she relied on Lanhua for support. As soon as Cui stood firm, she pushed Lanhua away, then she knelt down in front of Zhang with a plop.

"Mom..." Lanhua cried out in surprise.

"I, an old woman, am here to apologize to you." Cui said in a dramatic manner, "Madam Sheng San, I, an old woman, kowtow to you. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me, an old woman..." As Cui spoke, she pretended to kowtow to Zhang.

Zhang's face changed instantly, she couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to get up...but Xiao Lan was quick enough to put her hand on Zhang's leg and let her sit back down.

"Mom, I told you yesterday, but you didn't quite believe it. My grandma is sick. Yesterday she scolded everyone she saw, but today it seems that she kneels down and kowtows to everyone she sees..." Xiao Lan said loudly immediately.

If Cui kowtowed to Zhang when she was awake, Zhang would naturally not be able to accept it. But if Cui was stupid now and her mind was not clear, then her words and actions now had no normal meaning. Seeing that Cui was going to go all the way, Xiao Lan did not care. "Sister-in-law, the old lady is not well yet, who urged her to go out? You should help the old lady back quickly, and the most important thing is to take good care of her." Xiao Lan said to Xu.

Xu agreed and was about to help Cui, but Lanhua reached out to stop Xu. "The old lady is not ill, she is sincerely apologizing to the fourth son's wife." Then Lanhua said to Cui, "Mom, didn't we agree at home? You said you were also uneasy and said you wanted to apologize to the third son's wife."

"I am an old fool. I have committed a sin. I deserve to die..." Cui closed her eyes and raised her hand to slap herself.

Xu looked around but did not step forward to stop them. Lanhua wanted to raise her hand to stop them, but after thinking about it, she withdrew her hand. Xiaolan's servants also did not step forward to stop them because they did not have the master's order.

Cui slapped herself in the face, and seeing that no one stepped forward to stop her, her heart sank. If it had been before, once she knelt on the ground, Sheng Xuan or Zhang would have been unable to bear it immediately and would not have given her a chance to kowtow. But yesterday, when she kowtowed, Xiao Lan said she was stupid and crazy, and now Xiao Lan said that her madness had not yet been cured...

She originally thought that no matter if it was Xu or Lanhua, they would definitely stop her when she slapped herself, and Zhang would definitely not be able to bear to see her slap herself, but now neither Xu nor Lanhua stopped her, and Zhang didn't say a word. No one stopped her, her slap had already fallen, and the other slap was still in the air, the arrow was on the string, and it had to be shot. Cui gritted her teeth and hardened her heart, and the second slap fell again, but still no one stopped her.

"What a sin! Why don't I just die? I might as well try to kill myself..." Then Cui started looking around, searching for a suitable object to commit fraud.

"That's what you came here for today. It wasn't enough that you cheated the people in the old house yesterday, so you come to my house to cheat us today?" Xiao Lan pointed at Lan Hua and said angrily, "If anything happens to the old lady today, I'll take your life in exchange. If your life is not enough, I'll add your daughter's. Isn't she in the old house?"
