"If older sister-in-law talks like this, aren't you treating me as an outsider!" Sang Wan laughed, "I'm happy for my second brother's success in the Xie Yuan exam! You shouldn't say such things. Some might even accuse me of being sycophantic!"
"Nonsense! The Shi family doesn't need to suck up to a newly successful Xie Yuan!" Mrs. Fang quickly retorted.
"That's not the same thing!" Sang Wan, holding her hand, laughed, "So, neither of us should say such things about the other, or it would be like we're strangers!"
Mrs. Fang paused, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "Alright, then I won't say it! We'll keep grandmother and uncle's kindness in our hearts, that's enough!"
