Kapitel 552: Collusion

As promised, Qin Zhenzhen arrived the next day, bearing a basket of fragrant food. She shared with Chen Lin'er, "I prepared this myself."

This time, Chen Lin'er ate with remarkable grace, showcasing a refinement not typically associated with a village woman. After finishing the meal, she delicately set down her bowl and chopsticks.

"Mrs. Su, thank you for the food. It's delicious—the best I've ever had," Chen Lin'er expressed sincerely.

Qin Zhenzhen responded, "You're welcome. It was no trouble at all."

Chen Lin'er, overcome with emotion, confided, "Even though I'm confined here, I've heard about the happenings outside. I know the new governor, who is also the Primus, was demoted here due to some offense. I'm aware of your remarkable medical skills and your current pregnancy, which must be challenging."

"It's no small feat to cook for a commoner when you're not feeling well," Chen Lin'er continued.
