After I transmigrated, the cold king clung to me every day.

Chapter 197 Su Wan'er's Scheme

Inside the kitchen, Su Wan'er was like a restless little deer, her eyes darting left and right, her gaze wandering as if hiding some unspeakable conspiracy.

As soon as Xiaodie appeared at the door and slowly walked towards the kitchen, Su Wan'er instantly changed her demeanor and began to pretend.

She looked anxious and walked quickly to the stove, where a pot of something was simmering, steaming and emitting a fragrant aroma. The broth was bubbling and boiling in the pot, giving off a unique flavor that blended the rich aroma of herbs with the ingredients.

The moment Xiaodie stepped into the kitchen, Su Wan'er, as if she had planned it all along, deliberately "accidentally" tilted the soup spoon in her hand, splashing some soup onto her hand. She immediately shouted loudly, "Ah!" Her brows furrowed tightly, and her features contorted, as if she were in great pain. She kept shaking her hand and shouting.

Xiaodie was startled by the sudden shout. Her eyes widened, and she rushed over, anxiously saying, "Huh? Are you alright? Quickly put your hands in cold water!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Su Wan'er's hand and, without hesitation, quickly plunged it into the cold water that had been prepared nearby, her expression full of worry and anxiety.

Su Wan'er was still crying out, "Ah? It hurts so much!" After soaking for a while, her hand wasn't as bad as it had seemed at first, but it was still a little red and swollen, with a faint pain.

Su Wan'er subconsciously pouted and gently blew on her hand, looking incredibly affected, as if she wanted the whole world to know how wronged she had been.

Xiaodie frowned slightly as she looked at her, and said with a hint of helplessness, "How could you... be so careless? Uh, no, that's not what I meant. I meant... what are you cooking..."

Su Wan'er tilted her head slightly, her eyes still glistening with tears, and said coquettishly, "I...I'm making a pregnancy-supporting soup for myself and my sister. Now that we're pregnant, we need to nourish ourselves properly. Oh, it's all my fault for being so careless, I'm so clumsy..."

Upon hearing Su Wan'er's words, Xiao Die's face immediately showed an embarrassed expression. She subconsciously raised her hand to scratch her head, and a slightly stiff smile appeared on her lips.

A sense of unease crept into her mind, and she muttered to herself, "What is Su Wan'er up to? Could she be plotting something? But seeing her wincing in pain after burning her hand, it doesn't seem like it. Could it be..."

As she pondered, images of Su Wan'er and her young mistress interacting before surfaced in her mind. The two were always chatting and laughing, appearing remarkably harmonious. Could it be that Su Wan'er had truly "reformed" as she seemed on the surface?

Xiaodie pouted slightly, her eyes filled with a thoughtful expression, and her brows furrowed gently, clearly still struggling with this matter.

At this moment, Su Wan'er frowned slightly, looked pitifully at Xiao Die, and said softly, "Could you help me serve the soup? My hand is injured, and I don't have much strength right now, so it's really inconvenient. Thank you for your help."

Xiaodie snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "Oh, okay, sure." Then, somewhat distracted, she went to get two bowls and went to the stove to ladle out the soup.

As she ladled soup, she would occasionally steal glances at Su Wan'er. Su Wan'er was looking at her with a gentle expression, her smile like the warm sun in spring, seemingly carrying a hint of sincerity and kindness. However, Xiao Die still harbored doubts. She merely gave Su Wan'er a perfunctory smile in return before quickly turning her head away, her brows furrowing unconsciously as she continued to concentrate on ladling the soup.

Before long, Xiaodie steadily carried two bowls of steaming hot soup for the pregnant woman, while Su Wan'er obediently followed beside her, and the two walked together toward Lin Qianqian's room.

Su Wan'er's face showed just the right amount of concern, while Xiao Die's expression was slightly solemn, as if the doubts in her heart along the way had almost overwhelmed her.

On the way to Lin Qianqian's room, Xiaodie carried the soup ahead, completely unaware that Su Wan'er behind her had changed her appearance.

Su Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful yet wicked smile. The smile concealed a chilling malice, but she quickly concealed this strange expression to prevent Xiao Die from noticing.

At this moment, Su Wan'er was secretly sneering, her malicious thoughts spreading like vines in the shadows: [Hmph! Lin Qianqian, you should really take good care of yourself! You think this pregnancy-stabilizing soup is just for your own good? I've added some special 'appetizer' medicine to it. After you drink this soup, I guarantee you'll have a huge appetite and keep wanting to eat. Then, the fetus in your belly will grow like crazy, and by the time you give birth, the baby will be so big that you, as the mother, will be severely deficient in qi and blood. Hehe~ I'd like to see what you'll do then!]

Thinking about all this, a hint of malice flashed in Su Wan'er's eyes, but she still pretended to be nonchalant as she followed Xiao Die, step by step approaching Lin Qianqian's room.
