Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275 Prince Niu’s Mansion

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo: "..."

He listened with his mouth agape to the little one’s words, which were simple enough, yet it seemed as if he didn’t understand at all.

"Zhen Wu..."

He wanted to ask Zhen Wu, who had come up with such a terrifying yet successful plan to rescue them—an idea no ordinary person could have conceived.

But before he could speak, Zhen Wu shot him a cold look that silenced him immediately.

"Fifth Young Master, this black panther’s name is Blackie; it is Miss Lin’s beloved pet. During your time in Prince Yi’s Mansion, you may play with it. Miss Lin asked me to tell you to treat it well and not to bully it, understood?"

Zhen Wu patiently instructed the Fifth Young Master.

"Oh, oh."

The Fifth Young Master quickly responded, struggling to climb off of Zhen Wu.

He glanced at Zhen Wu and Jiang Zuo, then at Blackie, and cautiously began to walk towards the panther, slowly approaching it.

Jiang Zuo: "!!!"

Zhen Wu, make it clear to me, when this child and beast are together, who exactly is going to bully whom? The Fifth Young Master’s tiny body is barely enough for Blackie to bite a few times, isn’t it?

Yet strangely, the little one doesn’t seem to be afraid of the panther at all.

"Fifth Young Master, you play with it first; there’s another matter."

Seeing that the little one was now solely focused on playing with Blackie, and his guard wasn’t too high, Zhen Wu slowly approached.

"Prince Yi and Miss Lin heard that you have been wanting to go home. They sent me to ask you where exactly your home is so I can direct someone to look into it and then send you back," Zhen Wu relayed.

Jiang Zuo: "???"

Isn’t it obvious? The little one’s home is Prince Yi’s Mansion, right?

But they can’t just send the little one back to Prince Yi’s Mansion now, can they? Furthermore, isn’t this little one the person that their lord and lady wanted? How could they just send him back so easily?

That, of course, is impossible!

But just as he was about to counter Zhen Wu’s words, he heard the little one’s response.

"My home is my home, Prince Niu’s Mansion. Don’t you know?"

Jiang Zuo: "..."

What the devil is Prince Niu’s Mansion? Isn’t it Prince Yi’s Mansion?

The word "Niu" is entirely different in pronunciation from "Yi"; no one could possibly mishear that!

Zhen Wu: "!"

Indeed, Prince Yi’s conjecture was correct; this little one truly wasn’t the Fifth Young Master of Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Thank goodness Prince Yi was wise to have him inquire. Otherwise, they would never have imagined that when the little one spoke of going home, he wasn’t referring to Prince Yi’s Mansion but an entirely different place.

"Prince Niu’s Mansion?"

He looked at the little one as if in amazement.

"Aren’t you the Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion? How come you came from Prince Niu’s Mansion? And what place is Prince Niu’s Mansion?"

"I am not some Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion. I came with my uncle. He told me to stay at Prince Yi’s Mansion first, so I stayed. But it’s been two years, and my uncle hasn’t come to pick me up. I don’t know when he will."

Rolling around with Blackie, the little one was an open book to Zhen Wu, speaking without reserve.

"Do you know where Prince Niu’s Mansion is?" Zhen Wu asked again.

"Prince Niu’s Mansion is Prince Niu’s Mansion. My father is there; where it is..." the little one shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.

Zhen Wu, hearing his words, felt helpless.

How could he report back to Prince Yi if he didn’t know where it was?

However, considering that the little one had been living in Prince Yi’s Mansion for two years already, it made sense that he was quite small when he was sent there and could not remember certain things.
