"What happened?" Yang Ruxin’s eyes also widened.
"As a result, she lunged too fiercely, intending to embrace him, but he dodged, so, the cousin just..." Sanni thought of Yang Baihe’s pitiful state and laughed unkindly again, "Heihei..."
"So what happened? Just spell it out clearly!" Yang Ruxin was amused by Sanni’s behavior and lightly tapped her forehead with her finger, "Look at you laughing like a fool."
"As a result, she just fell flat on the ground..." Sanni raised her hand to brush away Yang Ruxin’s hand.
"Did her front tooth fall out?" Yang Ruxin laughed as well.
"Big sister, how did you know?" Sanni was taken aback for a moment.
"Just guessed," Yang Ruxin said with a mix of laughter and tears, "Seeing you laugh like that, it surely wasn’t as simple as just a fall. Besides, falling flat usually results in hitting one’s teeth..."
"Heihei, you only guessed half right. The cousin’s tooth didn’t fall out. It just so happened there was a stone on the ground, and one of her front teeth got knocked and broke in half..." Sanni nodded gleefully, "The cousin was covering her mouth and crying as she ran away... Tsk tsk, that Qi Yong didn’t know how to pity and cherish a beauty at all..." She tutted twice, "Despite the cousin being so devoted to him, what do you call this? It’s called..." She turned to look at Erni, "Erni, what did Brother Gu say?"
"Fallen flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is heartless," Erni said with a restrained smile.
"Right, that’s the phrase," Sanni nodded vigorously, "The cousin is that defeated flower, and that young master Qi is the water of Xiaocang River."
"You girls know quite a lot," Yang Ruxin flicked Sanni’s forehead, "But, Miss Yang Ruhao, and the rest of you, I must remind you, if you want to laugh, laugh at home. Don’t go laughing outside, lest you annoy Granny, and we’ll have another fuss on our hands..."
"I know, I’ll just laugh at home," Sanni touched her face.
"I’m also laughing only at home," Sini chimed in.
"Mengmeng has been laughing all morning," Erni sighed helplessly, "It’s just half a tooth missing, what’s so funny?"
"Erni, both Grandpa and Granny believe the cousin is destined for a rich man’s fate. Now, I wonder which noble will want a wife who’s missing half a front tooth..." Sanni was clearly in a good mood, "I’m actually more curious about how Granny will react... Will she faint from anger just after waking up?"
"Those are not our concerns," Yang Ruxin glanced at Sanni, "Now hurry up and cook." A broken front tooth indeed affects one’s image, it’s just unclear how good the dental repair technology of this era is. If it’s not good, then the cousin, who is fated to be a lady of status, might be too embarrassed to open her mouth in the future.
Still, the thought made her unable to suppress a laugh.
Erni rolled her eyes silently, while Sanni continued to giggle foolishly, Sini following with mindless laughter. It was contagious, it seemed; look, even the eldest sister was laughing foolishly now?
Zhou Xiao didn’t quite understand what had happened, but she knew that the ’cousin’ they were talking about was surely not a good person, so she would need to be careful and watch out for her in the future.
At lunchtime, Little Yingying woke up and wasn’t afraid or shy seeing so many people all at once and sweetly smiled at everyone.
"I’m Mimi, I’m three months older than you. You have to call me sister," Sini hurried over and introduced herself to Little Yingying very seriously.
