The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Brother Lianwu Is Very Poor

Xiao Xue’s eyes were almost dazzled by the sparkling gifts, and she hugged Su Xingqiao’s neck tightly, giving him several kisses on the face, leaving some saliva behind, and excitedly shouted, ”Uncle, Uncle, you’re the best uncle in the world! Xiao Xue loves you the most!”

She turned her face away, thinking that she really hadn’t taught Xiao Xue to behave like this, honestly!

”Ahem,” Han Jing, trying not to lose face too much, had to discuss a bit with the little girl, ”Xiao Xue, you already have many treasures. You see, holding onto these things doesn’t serve you much purpose, right?”

She hadn’t finished speaking when she received disapproving looks from both Su Xingqiao and Su Yaogeng.

At the same time, the little girl interrupted her confidently, ”I want to keep them as a dowry!”

Han Jing was utterly taken aback and incredulously asked the little girl, ”Why do you need a dowry if you’re not getting married?!”

The little girl became upset, ”Didn’t you say that if I get chubby, I won’t find anyone to marry? So, if I have a lot of dowry, surely I can get married!”

Then she turned her head to ask Su Xingqiao, ”Uncle, do you think Xiao Xue is right?”

Su Xingqiao quickly nodded, ”Yes, Uncle will prepare a lot of dowry for you. Xiao Xue, you can marry whoever you want!”

Xiao Xue beamed at Han Jing and said, ”Mother, you see, even Uncle says so!”

Han Jing rubbed her forehead and, unwilling to give up, argued back, ”You have enough dowry for ten weddings, plus you’re only five years old. What are you worrying about dowries for? Even if you get married someday, your husband will take care of you, so why do you need so much dowry? Isn’t it a waste?”

Xiao Xue quickly shook her head, ”No, no, it won’t be a waste. I can spare some for Brother Lianwu. You know Brother Lianwu is a ghost, he’s probably very poor, and he said he would take care of me in the future. How will he do that without money?”

Han Jing twitched the corners of her mouth, ”Does Brother Lianwu know you think he’s very poor?”

Xiao Xue was indifferent, ”That’s how I see it! I want to save money for Brother Lianwu!”

Han Jing: ”He’s only your pet, why are you so nice to him? I’m your mother, and I’ve never seen you treat me this well?”

The little girl confidently replied, ”You have Father, Brother Lianwu only has me!”

Han Jing looked dejected and turned to find a chair, ”A daughter grown up is like spilled water!”

Beside them, Su Xingqiao was amused by this mother and daughter, and as the entire front hall of Longyao Palace was almost filled, he waved everyone away.

Then, throughout the Great Hall, Xiao Xue’s exclamations of wonder echoed continuously, ”This one looks nice! I want this, and this too! Ah, and that one, that one!”

Han Jing...

The little girl was tirelessly picking for an hour and remained in an extremely excited state.

Han Jing shook her head helplessly, all right, let her have her way, there’s no controlling her.

”Brother Qiao, hand Xiao Xue to my mother, I’ve got something to talk to you about.”

Su Xingqiao was happily playing with Xiao Xue, but hearing Han Jing’s words, he was slightly stunned and nodded, handing Xiao Xue to Su Yaogeng, then left the front hall with Han Jing.

In the large garden in front of the hall, there was a lake, and Su Xingqiao and Han Jing headed to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

”All these years, have you been doing well? How is the Imperial Uncle? Are there any news of him?” Su Yaogeng had informed Su Xingqiao about the events of those years, as well as some subsequent happenings, but after all, Su Yaogeng didn’t know much either, and although Su Xingqiao was in the palace, he was always thinking and worrying about them.
