Chapter 202 This matter cannot be told to the Prince and Wuming.
Lin Qianqian walked back to her room with slightly heavy steps, her expression extremely solemn, her brows tightly furrowed, as if shrouded in an unresolved sorrow.
She stood with her hands on her hips, head bowed, lips pressed tightly together, clearly deep in thought about something extremely important.
Xiaodie had been anxiously waiting in the room. When she saw Lin Qianqian return, she was first stunned, then her face widened in surprise, her eyes widened, and then worry filled her face. Her brows furrowed, her mouth slightly open, and she hurriedly went to greet her, asking anxiously, "Miss, why did you suddenly run away? I chased after you as hard as I could but couldn't catch up. Where did you go? Are you alright?"
Lin Qianqian raised her head slightly, forced a smile, and said softly, "I'm fine~ Xiaodie, don't worry."
As she spoke, she turned and walked quickly to the door, slamming it shut with a loud bang that made Xiaodie's heart skip a beat.
Before Xiaodie could react, Lin Qianqian grabbed Xiaodie's hand again and walked straight to the bedside.
At this moment, Lin Qianqian's expression was serious, and her eyes were filled with an unquestionable solemnity as she stared intently at Xiaodie.
Xiaodie was completely bewildered by her appearance, her eyes filled with confusion, her mouth slightly agape, standing there blankly. Looking puzzled, she leaned closer to Lin Qianqian and whispered, "Miss, what happened? Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"
Lin Qianqian took a deep breath, her face serious. She took Xiaodie's hand and said in a low voice, "Xiaodie, listen to me, Su Wan'er really has a problem!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief, and she exclaimed, "What!"
Lin Qianqian bit her lip, her face filled with a mixture of resentment and lingering fear. She slowly said, "Originally, I truly believed that Su Wan'er genuinely wanted to be my sister. I was quite grateful to her for making me that pregnancy-supporting soup every day. But who could have imagined that it was all a carefully planned conspiracy? She added something to that soup to stimulate appetite. When we pregnant women drink that soup, our appetites become extremely large, we always feel hungry, and we can't control ourselves from eating. By the time we give birth, the fetus will have grown too large due to excessive nutrition, and the mother's body will have been weakened little by little after all that suffering. Her intentions are simply too vicious. I tremble with anger just thinking about it." As she spoke, Lin Qianqian's hands trembled slightly, her eyes filled with rage.
Xiaodie first looked enlightened, then her face turned bright red with anger. She stomped her foot and said indignantly, "So that's how it is! No wonder you've suddenly become such a big eater lately, it turns out she's been up to something behind my back! Humph, I knew it, old habits die hard. Su Wan'er has always been a petty and narrow-minded person. You should have been more wary of her a long time ago."
As Xiaodie spoke, she frowned, her eyes filled with frustration and anger, as if she couldn't wait to confront Su Wan'er right now.
Lin Qianqian gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with determination, and clenched her fists as she said, "I definitely won't let her succeed! By the way, Xiaodie, we still have to continue playing along with her in this charade."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie's eyes widened, her mouth gaped open, and her face was filled with astonishment. She hurriedly said, "What... Miss, you still want to drink that 'pregnancy-stabilizing soup'? How can that be? Doesn't that soup contain..."
Lin Qianqian narrowed her eyes slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on her face. She patted Xiaodie's hand and comforted her, "Drink, of course you have to drink, but we have to do it like this..." Lin Qianqian suddenly whispered in Xiaodie's ear, a sly glint in her eyes.
Xiaodie frowned, her face full of worry and her eyes filled with doubt. She tugged at Lin Qianqian's sleeve and whispered, "Miss, will this really work? What if..."
Hearing this, Lin Qianqian looked determined, patted Xiaodie's shoulder, and comforted her with a smile: "We'll only know if it works by trying. Let's be careful, it'll definitely work, so don't worry too much!"
Xiaodie was still worried. She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Miss, why don't you tell the Prince? If the Prince knows about Su Wan'er's despicable actions, he will definitely stand up for you, and it will save us from wasting so much effort here."
Lin Qianqian shook her head slightly, her expression becoming serious. She lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Die, you absolutely cannot tell the Prince. Not only the Prince, but you can't even tell Wuming."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie's eyes widened instantly, her face full of confusion. She asked anxiously, "Why? Miss, why can't we even tell him? Wuming is usually very loyal to you. With his help, wouldn't we have more support?"
Lin Qianqian sighed softly, her face full of worry. She paced back and forth a few times before slowly saying, "Xiaodie, you know Wuming's temperament. He's an impatient person who can't keep things to himself. As soon as he hears this news, he'll definitely act impulsively and go to settle scores with Su Wan'er immediately. But we don't have solid evidence yet. What if we act rashly and alert her? If Su Wan'er destroys the evidence and then denies everything, all our efforts will be wasted. So, we can't tell anyone right now. We can only handle it carefully ourselves and wait until the evidence is conclusive before making this public."
As Lin Qianqian spoke, her brows furrowed and her eyes were filled with worry, as if she could already see the terrible consequences of Wuming's impulsive actions.
