Wang Mengyun felt very indignant that she had to apologize when she was clearly the victim!
Wang Mengyun couldn't bring herself to apologize, so she simply pretended to be sick.
During the few days he was "sick," Gu Minghua stayed with the four sisters and had a great time, while Wang Mengyun cried in anger and missed Lin Shikang even more.
In Wang Mengyun's view, if a man had any self-respect, he wouldn't think of making his woman apologize.
That day, the Queen Mother came to visit. It turned out that Vice Minister Wang was also being targeted. Moreover, Gu Minghua felt that his face as the head of the family had been trampled on because Wang Mengyun had not apologized to Yang Cui for a long time. So he did not give the Wang family a good look and sent someone to the Wang family to tell them that he wanted to divorce his wife.
Startled, the Queen Mother immediately went to visit her daughter under the pretext of checking on her.
Under pressure from both her family and her husband's family, Wang Mengyun had no choice but to agree to apologize to Yang Cui.
They also asked Wang Shi, the wife of Guo Zhenyu who was related to the Wang family, to act as a middleman.
When Yang Cui received Guo Wangshi's invitation, she had no idea that she was there to act as a peacemaker.
When she brought Er Ya and San Ya to the teahouse, she saw Wang Mengyun, who looked somewhat haggard.
"Sister Yang," Madam Guo rose to greet her, "It's been a while since we last met. You've lost a lot of weight, and your chin is even more pointed. Is there anything bothering you?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm fine now."
Yang Cui is indeed much better now, but since she was poisoned, Cen Xiao is still worried and has the kitchen prepare nourishing tonics for her every day. Yang Cui feels that she hasn't lost weight and might even gain ten pounds.
Madam Guo looked at Yang Cui, then at Wang Mengyun, and then said with a smile, "Sister Yang, actually it wasn't me who wanted to invite you today, it was Mengyun who wanted to invite you."
Yang Cui didn't reply, but instead gracefully picked up her teacup.
Wang Mengyun then said, "Madam Cen, I think there's been some misunderstanding between us. I shouldn't have spoken out of turn that day. I'm currently pregnant, so I'll punish myself with three cups of plain water instead of wine. How about we make peace?"
Yang Cui smiled faintly and remained silent.
Wang Mengyun then drank three cups of water in a row.
Madam Guo also spoke well of Wang Mengyun: "Sister Yang, Mengyun has always been kind. Why don't we just let things go and make peace?"
"What are you saying, Sister Wang? There's nothing between Madam Gu and me to begin with, so how could there be any talk of shaking hands and making peace? Madam Gu, don't you agree?"
Yang Cui's words surprised both Wang Mengyun and Guo Wangshi. Guo Wangshi was the first to react and laughed, "Yes, yes, everything was fine before, so why the handshake and reconciliation? Sister Yang is right, I misspoke."
The three of them drank tea insincerely and politely for about half an hour before leaving.
After Yang Cui left, Madam Guo said to Wang Mengyun seriously, "That woman Yang is not simple. Don't provoke her in the future. You are pregnant now, so taking good care of your pregnancy is the most important thing."
"I understand," Wang Mengyun replied obediently on the surface, but her hands under the table were practically tearing the handkerchief to shreds, revealing the resentment in her heart.
Guo Wangshi originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Wang Mengyun's mother persuaded Guo Wangshi's mother to act as a mediator, so she had no choice but to come.
Yang Cui didn't care whether Wang Mengyun's apology was sincere or just a pretense of reconciliation. At least she had invited Guo Wangshi to act as a peacemaker, so Yang Cui couldn't hold a grudge. Otherwise, she would be seen as Yang Cui being unreasonable.
Often, it's still necessary to put on a show.

"This Yang is really lucky. She survived such a vicious poison without any harm." Princess Xilan, sitting at the second-floor window opposite, looked at Yang Cui coming out of the teahouse and said expressionlessly.
“Now that she travels with so many guards, it would be difficult for anyone to assassinate her,” said Hongcha, Princess Xilan’s confidante.
"Not only are assassinations difficult to carry out, but assassinations themselves are also not easy. The General's Mansion has already undergone a major purge. By the way, have the people we placed inside been purged?"
"Your Highness, no. This morning I received a message saying that things are not peaceful at the General's Mansion recently, and she will not be sending us any messages in the near future. She also told us not to send her any messages, to lie low for now, and to wait until things calm down."
...
After leaving the teahouse, Yang Cui took her two children to a farm in the suburbs.
It is now late November, and the farm officially started operating ten days ago. The veterans from the General's Mansion have already moved there.
Yang Cui hadn't been feeling well recently, so she hadn't been involved in the matter; Xiao Wu was now in charge of everything.
Upon arriving at the farm, Xiao Wu led Yang Cui and her daughter on a tour and gave her a detailed report on the situation there.
After going through the whole process, Yang Cui found that although there were some minor oversights, it was generally good, which showed Xiao Wu's dedication and ability.
"You did a good job. Just follow up on the points I mentioned earlier. You have good abilities and strong execution skills, but if you want to go further, you need to study more. Literacy and arithmetic are the most basic things," Yang Cui said.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Mr. Yang." Xiao Wu was secretly pleased. Who wouldn't want to be recognized and valued?
