Chapter 349: Chapter 347: Why Are We Talking About the Dowry Again_1
“Mother, here’s more for you and Father to show my filial piety.”
Su Qingluo’s eyes curved into crescents as she hugged her arm affectionately.
“Okay, Mother will save it for your dowry.”
Li Xiu’e felt gratified by her daughter’s filial piety, holding her tender body tightly, reluctant to let go.
“Mother, why’re you bringing up the dowry again?”
Su Qingluo hugged Li Xiu’e and acted coquettishly: “I’m not even ten years old, and you’re thinking of marrying me off.”
“Mother can’t bear to part with you.”
Li Xiu’e suddenly felt a sourness in her heart, thinking of her daughter’s face that resembled Madam Lin’s, and couldn’t help but feel a touch of panic.
“If Mother can’t bear it, Qingluo won’t get married and will stay with Mother for the rest of my life.”
Su Qingluo smiled obediently, trying to cheer her mother up.
“That won’t do!”
Li Xiu’e’s expression changed instantly upon hearing this, flustered and exasperated.
“You must not follow your sister’s example, devoting herself to being a Female Official, making her engagement seem like a punishment, causing Mother’s heart to ache.”
“Uh…”
Su Qingluo didn’t expect this response from her mother, so she awkwardly touched her nose, obediently closed her mouth, and said nothing more.
Early the next morning, just as the sky began to brighten, the Little Prince opened his eyes, rolled out of bed, put on his clothes, and ran to the stable to feed the pony.
“Woof, woof, woof.”
Grey One, Grey Two, and Grey Three heard the Little Prince’s voice and ran over from the stable, playfully surrounding him.
“Grey One, Grey Two, Grey Three, let’s go hunting in the mountains today.”
After feeding the pony, the Little Prince happily ran to the storeroom, grabbed his little shovel and basket.
“Woof, woof, woof.”
The three dogs barked excitedly, wagging their tails vigorously.
“Stop barking so early and go play outside.”
Shitou rubbed his eyes and walked out of his room, frowning at the dogs, chasing them outside, afraid they would wake up Niuniu.
“Good morning, Brother Shitou.”
The Little Prince wandered the courtyard with his little basket on his back, taking short steps and politely greeting Shitou.
“Xuan’er, you’re up early. Don’t you want to sleep for a while longer?”
Shitou immediately changed his expression upon seeing the Little Prince, his somewhat haggard face blooming into a chrysanthemum-like smile.
“Sister is taking me hunting in the mountains.”
The Little Prince looked up with his big sparkling eyes, his face filled with joy.
“Master is going hunting?”
Shitou’s heart trembled, and he wanted to join them, asking with a cheeky smile, “When are you leaving?”
“After breakfast.”
Sensing the aroma of food, the Little Prince trotted towards the kitchen with his short legs.
“Xuan’er, are you hungry already?”
Grandma Liu grabbed the steaming basket from the stove, saw the Little Prince peeking into the kitchen with his little head, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Grandma, what’s for breakfast?”
The Little Prince entered the kitchen, looked up, and asked with a smile.
“Shepherd’s purse buns and steamed eggs.”
The Little Prince’s eyes lit up at the mention of shepherd’s purse buns but dimmed when he heard about the eggs, puffing out his cheeks and sighing.
“What’s the matter, Xuan’er? Don’t you like eggs?”
Grandma Liu found his expression amusing and teased him.
“No…”
The Little Prince pouted, but as he was about to speak, he glanced at his sister coming out of the house and changed what he was going to say, nodding gravely.

“Well, eggs are nutritious. Even if you don’t like them, you have to eat them.”
“Xuan’er, come wash your face.”
Su Qingluo, having drawn water from the well, called to him with a smile, her bright black eyes revealing a fleeting hint of playful amusement.
She had sharp ears and had clearly heard the conversation between the Little Prince and Grandma Liu, finding his secret intentions amusing.
