"Didn't her dowry include a pair of luminous pearls from the deep sea? We can use them as betrothal gifts for the second and third sons. They're both getting on in years, and it's a disgrace to the Mu family if they don't even have wives. This time, I'm determined to arrange two wives for them from a prominent family," said Old Madam Mu.

The head of the Mu family said irritably, "My Mu family is so wealthy and powerful, do you think we can't even afford a dowry and have to deduct it from their sister-in-law's dowry?"

“You’re wrong about that. Since the second and third sons are getting engaged at the same time, the dowry must be exactly the same. I’ve prepared everything else, except for a pair of precious luminous pearls that I’ve been keeping under my purse. I’ve searched all the major merchants in the Medicine Domain but haven’t found anything suitable. Besides, as the sister-in-law, shouldn’t she show her appreciation for her two younger brothers’ marriages?” said Madam Mu.

"Then you should discuss it with Tingting yourself after she wakes up," the head of the Mu family said, having no time to argue with the old lady.

"Wait for her to wake up? When is that? What if she dies? Wouldn't you still have to give me the key?" Old Madam Mu said with a sneer.

"Enough! I've had enough! I'm telling you, Mother, even if Tingting is really gone, her dowry will still belong to Bai'er. I will absolutely not take a single thread from it to give to the second and third sons as betrothal money. I don't know if I've made myself clear enough. If not, you can go back and think it through yourself. Someone, escort the old lady and the second and third sons back!" The head of the Mu family was furious. The old lady's repeated use of the word "death" had greatly aggravated the head of the Mu family.

In the corner, Ah Ju munched on some fruit while watching the drama unfold with great interest. The old lady's arrival was just in time, making the waiting time anything but boring.

Seeing that the head of the Mu family dared to leave on his own, the old lady disregarded her dignity, plopped down on the ground, and cried out, "Oh my god, I'm so old and about to be buried, and my own son is going to kick me out of the house! For a woman lying in bed who doesn't know if she's dead or alive, he's even abandoning his own mother and brothers..."

In the past, the head of the Mu family would have already coaxed the old lady Mu with kind words, but today he almost understood that Dongfang Mian was the last hope to save his wife. He was terrified that Dongfang Mian would come out and tell him that there was no hope. Therefore, he felt extremely disgusted when he saw the old lady Mu like this.

"Don't worry, Mother. With your Venerable Realm cultivation, you can live for another thousand or two thousand years without any problem if you don't do anything reckless," the Mu family head said coldly.

Upon seeing this, Old Madam Mu wailed even louder, “My own son said I’m courting death! I can’t live like this anymore! I don’t want to live anymore! ～～～～～～～”

Second Master Mu and Third Master Mu also stood up and shouted at the head of the Mu family, "Big brother, what do you mean? Look how angry you've made Mother! Let me tell you, if you make Mother sick, we will never let you off the hook. And that woman in bed who's neither alive nor dead, what sister-in-law? Bah! I wish her a speedy death and a good rebirth!"

The head of the Mu family's eyes flashed, and he mercilessly slapped the Second Master and the Third Master Mu away. The two coughed up blood in mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground, barely breathing and on the verge of death.

With a shriek, Old Madam Mu lunged forward, stuffing handfuls of precious pills into the mouths of the two men. Only when their lives were hanging by a thread did she breathe a sigh of relief. "Are you insane! Are you trying to kill your own brother?!"
