Chapter 552: Recovery of Memory (two updates)_5

As a result, she caught Empress Dowager Zhuang’s gaze.

Xiao Jingkong quickly retracted his little head and closed the room’s door with a humph!

Empress Dowager Zhuang went to the child’s room.

The child was facing away from her, backed into a corner next to a wardrobe.

"Come out." Empress Dowager Zhuang said.

"I won’t come out!" Xiao Jingkong huffed, then sneaked a glance at her, "You...you feed me, then I’ll come out!"

As soon as he started to act coy, his speech became redundant.

A quarter of an hour later, Empress Dowager Zhuang and the child were sitting in the courtyard.

A small wooden table in front of them held a bowl of steaming millet porridge.

"Eat it yourself." said Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Little Jingkong pouted, tipped back his head, cleared his throat, and put all his effort into a cry: "Wahhh—"

Empress Dowager Zhuang shuddered and spooned some millet porridge into the child’s mouth!

Old Jijiu and Xiao Liulang returned from Guozijian and Hanlin Academy.

"You don’t need to worry about those men from the Zhuang family, I will take care of them later..."

Before he could finish, Old Jijiu and Xiao Liulang walked through the passageway and saw the old lady sitting on a small stool, feeding Xiao Jingkong.

Why was the old lady, and not Empress Dowager Zhuang, because she was dressed as the old lady.

Old Jijiu had just drawn a bit of his salary in silver; his first reaction was to clutch his money bag: "I have no concealed money!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang cast him a gloomy glance.

Old Jijiu immediately fell to his knees.

Xiao Jingkong smacked his lips, "Uncle, why did you fall?"

Uncle? Empress Dowager Zhuang narrowed her eyes!

Fear seized Old Jijiu. Ah! Little monk, are you trying to trap your uncle?

Ah, not true! I’m not your uncle!

No, she’s not your aunt!

It still didn’t seem right...

My emperor!

Your servant and the Empress Dowager have a purely official relationship—

Bang!

Reluctantly, Old Jijiu was dragged by Empress Dowager Zhuang into a small dark room.

There was a bit of a commotion.
