"Really?" Mrs. Dong took the handkerchief from Kid's hand to dab her eyes.
Kid nodded: "When have I ever lied to mother?"
Not daring to upset Mrs. Dong any further, she changed the subject: "Tomorrow is the imperial examination. Qin Lang and cousin Chang Yuan are both taking part. One is our Bai family's son-in-law, and the other is mother's nephew. Has mother prepared the gifts?"
