Everything happened as Ji Xingzhi and Zhou You had expected. With Ji Xingzhi's appearance and the recommendation of Concubine Nian's brother Zhou You, Ji Xingzhi entered the Shuizhou Palace very smoothly. There was almost no procedure. She just asked about her birthplace, age and name, and then let Zhou You take her into the palace.
There are two palace gates. People come in one after another through the main gate, but only a few go out through the side gate.
Ji Xingzhi didn't look any further and followed Zhou You directly to the palace where Xiao Nian lived.
When Xiao Nian saw Ji Xingzhi following Zhou You, he was shocked. He quickly sent his attendants away and knelt down in front of Ji Xingzhi.
"Xiao Nian meets Miss Huang...." As soon as the word "Huang" came out of his mouth, Xiao Nian immediately felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words.
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but smile. As she helped Xiao Nian up, she jokingly said, "My last name isn't Huang. Don't call me by the wrong name next time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Nian couldn't help but burst out laughing. Zhou You was right. No matter what the lady's identity was, she was still the same lady, and this would never change.
Seeing this, Zhou You also laughed.
The three of them sat down. Ji Xingzhi looked around the rather nice palace, then glanced at what Xiao Nian was wearing. He raised an eyebrow and said to her, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Xiao Nian was silent, lowered her head slightly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing Xiao Nian's hesitation, Ji Xingzhi said with a half-smile, "This hesitation isn't like you. Don't tell me it's because of love."
If Xiao Nian was seeking personal revenge, that was Xiao Nian's own choice. Ji Xingzhi could not interfere and had no right to stop Xiao Nian from taking revenge. But if he had just followed her previous order to investigate Shui Lianche's background, there was no need to do so. He only needed to investigate the person and not the bed.
Xiao Nian shook her head and spoke slowly.
What Xiao Nian said was not much different from what Zhou You had said before, except that compared to Zhou You, Xiao Nian said it in more detail.
The Wang family was massacred by Shui Lianqing because of Xiao Nian's father, Lord Wang Yang.
Lord Wang had collected all kinds of evidence that was unfavorable to Shui Lianche and wanted to report Shui Lianche to the late emperor of Shuizhou. Unfortunately, the memorial could not be delivered to the late emperor of Shuizhou, and Lord Wang died at the hands of Shui Lianqing.
The incident involving Lord Wang implicated the entire Wang family, and no one in the Wang family was spared except Wang Xinnian.
It was obvious that Shui Lianqing was working for Shui Lianche. As for why Shui Lianqing let Xiao Nian go, probably only Shui Lianqing himself knew.
In short, it couldn't be a soft heart. How could the murderous evil Lian Qing show such kindness to a little girl? This was obviously unrealistic.
Xiao Nian becomes Shui Lianche's concubine in order to get close to him and find an opportunity to assassinate him. The real murderer behind the scenes is Shui Lianche who gave the order, not Shui Lianqing who was used as a knife.
But Xiao Nian said, "I thank you for not killing me. I will also avenge the extermination of my family."
Xiao Nian, no... her original name was Wang Xinnian, the youngest daughter of Lord Wang Xinnian. In Shuizhou, she and Zhou You were brother and sister. In the eyes of others, they were real brother and sister, even though they didn't look alike at all.
The current Xiao Nian is called Zhou Nian. The previous Xiao Nian is dead, and Wang Xinnian is also dead. Her name is Zhou Nian. She is Shui Lianche’s concubine. She is a wolf that may wake up at any time, and also a sword waiting to be unsheathed!
Hatred did not make her forget herself, but gave her a new life and a meaning for her existence in the world.
