Chapter 159: Chapter 160 Adorable, So Cute_l

Translator: 549690339

“Xuan’er, do you remember the mushrooms I taught you about? Which ones can we eat and which ones can’t we?”

Su Qingluo picked a few mushrooms of varied colours and shapes from under the tree roots and began her on-spot teaching session.

“Deer Flower Fungus, jeweled deathcap, Grey-Patterned Flower are all inedible. They’re poisonous.”

The Little Prince pointed out the three poisonous types of mushrooms with his little soft hand.

“Have another look, Xuan’er. Are there any more poisonous ones?”

Su Qingluo watched with twinkling eyes full of laughter.

“No more.”

The Little Prince shook his head adorably as he batted his big, shiny eyes.

“Take a look at this small umbrella-shaped one. It looks a little like the common mushroom. But do you think it’s really one?” Su Qingluo suggested with a mischievous grin.

“Huh?”

The Little Prince propped his cheeks, examining it attentively.

“This is jeweled deathcap. At first glance, it may look like a common mushroom, but if you look closely, it’s different.”

Su Qingluo instructed patiently, “See how its cap is covered with dirty white scales, the edges have striations, and it’s moist and sticky.”

“When you encounter such mushrooms, take a closer look. If you can’t tell it apart, it’s better to discard it than to risk eating it. Do you understand?”

“Mmhm.”

The Little Prince nodded vigorously, tossing away the jeweled deathcap as he muttered under his breath, “Bad mushroom, it gives you a tummy ache.”

The cute sight is too much for the three girls to resist. They cooed, “Sister

Qingluo, your brother is so adorable.”

The little cutie’s plump face got pinched by them once again. His pink cheeks turned even redder, resembling a ripe apple.

“Sister, I want a hug.”

The little cutie pouted, seeking refuge in Su Qingluo’s arms, escaping from the playful harassment.

“Heehee.”

Seeing his adorable reaction only makes the girls love him more, their mirthful laughter unending.

“Alright, alright, stop teasing him.”

Su Qingluo, spotting tears starting to well up in the little cutie’s eyes, scooped him up in her arms, mollifying him with a gentle voice, “Xuan’er, darling, they just like playing with you. Their pinching means they adore you. Be a good boy. After we pick the mushrooms, we can go play up ahead.”

“Sister Qingluo, how old is your brother?”

Xu Wan’er, noticing Su Qingluo’s adept handling of the little cutie, couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Seeing a tiny girl tenderly holding an even tinier boy in her arms has quite the comical effect.

“He’s five and a half.’

Su Qingluo answered casually, seemingly unbothered by the stares from various maids and bodyguards.

“He’s five and a half and still clinging to his sister, wanting to be held. How embarrassing.”

Sun Yuwei didn’t miss a beat, continuing to tease the little cutie.

“You’re such a shy little fellow.”

Even Mu Xuerou couldn’t suppress her giggles, poking the little cutie’s armpit.

“Sister.”

The Little Prince wriggled, trying to escape her hand, his lips pouting with the verge of crying.

“Alright, alright, stop teasing him. He’s going to cry if this keeps on.”

Su Qingluo put a hand to her forehead in exasperation, explaining with a laugh, “Xuan’er has always been frail and gets sick easily, so he’s been held a lot growing up. It’s just a habit.”

“Sister Qingluo, your brother is lucky to have a caring sister like you.”

Pinching the little prince’s soft, baby-soft hand, Xu Wan’er couldn’t help but lament, “I was never this fortunate. I have an older step-brother and two step-sisters, all brought by my father’s concubines, and not one of them treats me kindly.”

“You’re your mother’s only daughter?”

Su Qingluo was slightly taken aback, “Isn’t your noble family very particular about the child’s legitimacy? Won’t your mother not allow your father to have children with his concubines before she has her own?”

“I overheard my mother mentioning that she was in poor health when she was younger and miscarried multiple times.”

Xu Wan’er said dejectedly, “If I had a legitimate sibling, I wouldn’t have to endure so much humiliation. My father only dotes on my stepsiblings, giving no care for me nor my mother..”
