When they reached the gates of the National Preceptor's Residence, Jiang Yourning spoke, shaking as though she were trying to shake off lice as she suppressed her laughter. "Mother, Sister, why don't we come back another time?"
Mommy, help! How does someone end up with sausage lips from eating sunflower seeds?
I don't want to laugh either, but holding it in is seriously killing me!
I really want to show Mother and Sister what they look like right now, but I forgot to bring a mirror!!!
Silence.
Inside the carriage.
Jiang Wanrong and Lin Xiangyin stared at each other. The silence was extraordinary.
At one point, Lin Xiangyin suddenly hugged her knees and laughed so hard that tears nearly spilled out. "Rong'er, you... how did your lips swell up like that? They look like two lengths of intestine."
Jiang Wanrong: ...
Jiang Wanrong gave her mother a polite smile, then slowly spoke. "Mother, yours are actually the same. Your lips are swollen enough to hang a bucket from."
And so.
Another few seconds of silence passed.
Lin Xiangyin suddenly turned to Jiang Yourning with a chuckle. "My darling daughter, was this your brilliant idea for getting out of entering the National Preceptor's Residence?"

"You little girl, you're still too green. Your mother has eaten more rice than you've drunk water. Come along, get out of the carriage like a good girl."

In the end.
The three
