Zongwu: Starting with Huashan Sect, Zhou Zhiruo breaks off the engagement

Chapter 21: Master and Servant Switch, Jiang Ni Gains Power

Ever since the destruction of Western Chu.

After Jiang Ni's father died, she was taken to Beiliang Palace!
For many years, she has never felt any warmth!

Xu Xiao either beat or scolded her, and Xu Fengnian ordered her around!

Back then, the little thief got drunk and almost took her body.

She didn't see any human kindness in the entire Beiliang Palace.

But at this moment, the eyes of everyone around were full of concern. That pure look without a trace of falsehood made Jiang Ni feel a little moved!
She could feel that these people cared about her from the bottom of their hearts.

Maybe it’s because of Qin Fan, but these people are humane.

For a moment, she was also infected.

The word "father" had been hidden in her heart for many years, and she had never dared to speak it out.

But her desire for her father never diminished.

To this day, Yue Buqun's kind gaze makes her truly feel the warmth of being cared for.

She finally couldn't help but speak.

Just think of it as recognizing him as your godfather.

At least this adoptive father is much better than King Xu Xiao of Beiliang.

"Ugh--"

Yue Buqun's face was filled with joy, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

Qin Fan was a little surprised to see Jiang Ni like this, but he was still keenly aware of Jiang Ni's emotions.

Thinking of the grievances she had suffered in the Beiliang Palace over the years, Qin Fan couldn't help but feel a little distressed!
He silently held Jiang Ni's little hand. The little hand was cold. She wanted to struggle at first, but when she saw Qin Fan's understanding eyes, she gradually relaxed.

They returned to the inn, settled Qingniao down, and Qin Fan took Jiang Ni back to his room.

"I want a private room!"

As soon as Jiang Ni walked into the room, she became nervous.

Although she had agreed to marry Qin Fan, she couldn't help feeling a little repulsive.

The two had only known each other for one day, which was too fast for Jiang Ni.

"Do you know why Bluebird followed me?"

Qin Fan pulled Jiang Ni to sit down, glanced towards the door, and spoke in a low voice!
"She's just a dowry maid, what else can she do?" Jiang Ni said nonchalantly!

She and Qingniao were both Xu Fengnian's maids, and they had many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays. Compared to her, Qingniao was obviously more indifferent.

Although the two of them were together day and night over the years, they spoke less than ten sentences in total.

Moreover, ever since his failed attempt to assassinate Xu Fengnian, it has been Qingniao who has been guarding Xu Fengnian.

This woman can also be considered as his enemy.

"She was sent by Xu Xiao to monitor you! Xu Xiao will not be at ease with your identity no matter where you go!"

"He let you go this time. To put it bluntly, he wanted to use you as bait to lure those old men from Western Chu to show up, and then secretly capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Hearing Qin Fan's words, Jiang Ni suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

She was not good at treacherous conspiracies. She had originally thought that after leaving the Beiliang Palace, she would be free. Then, she would secretly contact the old people of Western Chu, develop her power, and take revenge in the future.

But I didn't expect that these were all Xu Xiao's plans.

"Xu Xiao, old thief, what a vicious mind!"

Jiang Ni cursed angrily, but she also became worried in her heart!

If this plan fails, wouldn't my marriage to Qin Fan be in vain?

As if sensing Jiang Ni's emotions, Qin Fan hurriedly began to explain.

"I promised to help you. You don't have to do these things. Just leave them to me."

"Don't worry, we are in the same boat now. Only if you grow stronger can Huashan be revitalized in the future! I will do my best to help you!"

With Qin Fan's assurance, Jiang Ni finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her little hand and said, "Can you give me the talisman now?"

"Of course!" Qin Fan took out the talisman and handed it directly to Jiang Ni.

Seeing this, Jiang Ni was a little surprised.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the talisman?"

"Don't be afraid. If you leave us and die outside, you will just be a passerby and no one will care!"

When Jiang Ni heard this, her face changed and she pouted and muttered.

"Then ma'am, let's take a rest!"

Seeing Jiang Ni's cute look, Qin Fan couldn't help but tease her.

"What do you mean by rest? It's still early now. If you want to rest, just go and rest. I... I'm not sleepy!"

Jiang Ni said this and quickly hid aside.

"Okay, then if you feel sleepy later, just sleep on the bed and I'll meditate and practice!"

Qin Fan said this, turned around, took the cushion, and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Jiang Ni's little face turned red instantly.

I seem to have misunderstood. Qin Fan has always been very respectful to me from the beginning to the end.

There is no intention of forcing myself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ni couldn't help but grit her teeth, raised her little fist, and waved at Qin Fan.

This guy doesn’t even finish what he’s saying. He must be doing it on purpose!
Jiang Ni sat on the bed angrily, looking at Qin Fan who was meditating beside her, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

Not to mention, this boy does look quite handsome.

Much better than Xu Fengnian!
She looked down at the talisman in her hand and her face turned red with embarrassment.

I don’t know whether what my father said back then was a joke or true.

But Qin Fan did pull out the talisman. Is this really God's will?
If so, should I...

Just as Jiang Ni was daydreaming, someone knocked on the door.

Jiang Ni got up and opened the door. Qingniao was standing outside the door holding a washbasin.

"I'll help the young lady wash up!"

Bluebird's face was cold and emotionless, like a robot.

"Okay, I'll do it myself!"

Jiang Ni knew Qingniao's purpose, so she naturally treated her even worse. While speaking, she reached out to take the basin.

But he found that the blue bird didn't let go at all.

"It is my duty to serve the young lady, but I dare not trouble her to do it. Let Bluebird do it!"

Bluebird said this, ignoring Jiang Ni and walking straight into the house.

Qin Fan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, also opened his eyes at this moment.

There was no way to avoid this matter, so he could only accept it passively.

However, I feel a little uncomfortable having someone spying around me all the time.

We have to find an opportunity to get this girl!
Qin Fan thought to himself and winked at Jiang Ni.

"Okay, Jiang Ni, you are in a different position now. You are the adopted daughter of the prince. It is only right that you be taken care of. You should adapt as soon as possible!"

Jiang Ni covered her mouth and glanced at the blue bird, but a hint of evil taste arose in her heart.

This woman is cold all day long and has delayed my attempt to assassinate Xu Fengnian. Now that she has become my maid, I must take revenge on her!
Jiang Ni waved her hand and Bluebird walked forward!
Respectfully, he began to help Jiang Ni wash up.

This girl Jiang Ni does hold a grudge, or rather, she is using all the tricks Xu Fengnian has used on her over the years on Qingniao!

This made Bluebird furious, but fortunately she was well-trained and did not lose her temper.

"I'll let you be arrogant first, but you'll be in trouble later!"
