The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: 112 Empress Dowager (first night watch)_2

The Prince of An raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by Little Jingkong.

On that day, before Gu Jiao made a move, Little Jingkong was taken into the private school by Gu Yan, so he didn’t know what happened afterwards, nor did he see the Prince of An.

However, after getting in the carriage, the Prince did glance back and saw Gu Jiao leading Little Jingkong out of the private school by the hand. There was also a young man who looked strikingly similar to Lord Gu following them, likely the Gu Yan who was diagnosed by the imperial physician as terminally ill.

How peculiar, why would this little guy be here?

“Is this your home?” The Prince of An asked.

Little Jingkong didn’t fully open the door, only revealing a round little head through a crack in the door: “Of course this is my home, who are you? What are you doing at my home?”

The Prince of An spoke gently: “I was just passing by and would like a bowl of water to drink.”

“Then wait a moment!” Without inviting him in, Little Jingkong closed the door. In a little while, he brought him a bowl of water, “Here.”

This little one is rather wary…

The Prince of An took the bowl and drank all the water, then returned the empty bowl to him: “Are you home alone?”

Little Jingkong instantly became vigilant, even narrowing the crack in the door: “Are you a kidnapper? Why are you asking this?”

The Prince of An calmly responded: “Ah, no, just that I had your water and wanted to give thanks to your elders.”

Little Jingkong said seriously: “I brought you the water. Just thank me!”

The Prince of An didn’t expect such a response from this child. Startled for a moment, he said, “Ah, thank you then. By the way, could you tell me the way to Daniu Village?”

If it was about Xinghua Village or Yangliu Village, Little Jingkong would know, but the location of Daniu Village was beyond his knowledge. He was stumped on the spot.

With a smirk, the Prince of An asked, “Could you help me ask your elder?” _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

“My elder is busy. Go ask elsewhere. Go east, the seventh house is a family named Luo. Uncle Luo drives a bullock cart, he knows all the villages!” After giving him the direction, Little Jingkong decisively closed the door, not forgetting to bolt it!

Jiaojiao warned him never to let strangers in when the adults are not home!
