Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 489 The Sister-in-Law in Uncle-Sister Literature 33

Zi Xin hurriedly said, "Okay, it seems someone is coming."

"Host, Duan Yihuai is coming this way," the system reminded.

Qi Ning looked at Duan Yiyuan and said in a low voice, "Wait here for a while, I'm leaving now. I'll have Zixin contact you if anything comes up."

After saying that, Qi Ning went out from behind the artificial hill.

Duan Yiyuan knew their relationship couldn't be discovered, so he listened to her and continued to hide behind the artificial hill.

Qi Ning and Zi Xin had only walked a few steps along the path when Duan Yihuai appeared from behind.

"Ning'er."

Duan Yihuai called out to Qi Ning and quickly stepped forward.

"Why are you here?"

Qi Ning turned around: "Husband, my mother brought my younger brother and sister-in-law to see me today. I just saw them off and was about to go back to Xitong Courtyard."

"I see." Duan Yihuai nodded.

Now that they've met, he doesn't forget to pretend to be a considerate and loving husband: "Then I'll take you home."

"Okay."

The two looked like an ordinary couple, talking as they walked toward Nishitori-in.

Zi Xin followed beside her, barely daring to breathe.

After they left, Duan Yiyuan came out from behind the artificial hill.

He watched Qi Ning and Duan Yihuai's retreating figures, his indifferent brows furrowing slightly before he turned and left.

As if sensing something, Duan Yihuai suddenly turned around and glanced back.

Fortunately, Duan Yiyuan had already left, and there was no one behind him.

"Husband, what are you looking at?" Qi Ning asked.

"nothing."

Duan Yihuai thought to himself that it must be his imagination; there was no one behind him.

He followed Qi Ning and continued walking forward.

"Did your husband just come back from outside?" Qi Ning asked again.

“That’s right.” Duan Yihuai paused. “I just came back from the yamen.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the system exposed his lie in Qi Ning's mind: "Host, he's lying to you. You went to buy poison for him today, planning to poison you and Duan Yiyuan."

"Poison?" Qi Ning sneered inwardly. "Don't let it end up on yourself."

The next afternoon.

Qi Ning asked the system and learned that Lin Suwan was strolling in the garden with her maid, so she specially took Zi Xin to pretend to bump into her.

Lin Suwan was standing in front of a cluster of crabapple blossoms when Qi Ning walked straight over to her.

"Sister-in-law."

Hearing the noise, Lin Suwan quickly looked over.

"Ning'er, it's you."

Her eyes flickered, and she blurted out, "I was just about to go see you, but I didn't expect to run into you here."

Qi Ning smiled and walked to her side: "It's fate that we met here. There's no need for you to come see me in person, sister-in-law."

Looking at the smile on Qi Ning's face, Lin Suwan suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

Back when Qi Ning first married into the family, she was unaware of her affair with Duan Yihuai, yet she addressed her as "sister-in-law" and treated her with great intimacy.

After she discovered their affair, she looked at her with venom in her eyes.

Now that she has lost her memory, she seems to know nothing again, but Lin Suwan can't pretend that nothing happened.

She gave a somewhat stiff smile and asked Qi Ning, "How have you been these past few days? Are you feeling better? Are you adjusting well to being at home?"

"Okay, with my sister-in-law taking such good care of me at home, I'm fine with everything."

"Then... then did you remember anything?" Lin Suwan asked tentatively.

"No." Qi Ning shook her head, feigning distress.

Lin Suwan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "It's okay, it's alright if you can't remember."

"Yes, that's what my husband said too. He and my sister-in-law are both very good to me."

Qi Ning suddenly brought up Duan Yihuai in front of her.

“I heard that during the years when my elder brother was away from home, my husband was raised by my sister-in-law. No wonder he is as considerate as she is.”

Lin Suwan was startled again.

Qi Ning grasped Lin Suwan's wrist, his fingers landing precisely on her pulse.

She asked, feigning innocence, "Sister-in-law, could you tell me about my husband's past?"

Whether it was out of guilt or because Qi Ning's words had stirred up her emotions, Lin Suwan's expression suddenly changed.

She quickly broke free from Qi Ning's hand, covered her mouth, and gagged.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Ning observed Lin Suwan's expression.

"No, it's nothing."

Lin Suwan patted her chest and forced a smile: "I've just had a bit of an upset stomach lately."

"is it?"

Qi Ning said with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, you should invite a doctor in tomorrow to take a look, lest you overwork yourself."

Lin Suwan's face was pale. She took a step back and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. Ning'er, you should go back early too."

"Okay, take care, sister-in-law."

Lin Suwan responded and immediately left with her maid. She walked hurriedly, as if a ghost was chasing her.

Qi Ning watched Lin Suwan's flustered retreating figure and chuckled.

She beckoned Zixin to come closer.

"Young lady, what can I do for you?"

Qi Ning leaned close to Zi Xin's ear and whispered, "Go find Xia Rong, who serves the young master, and have him tell the young master to go see Doctor Kang at Huichuntang tonight..."

She gave a detailed explanation.

"Go quickly, don't let anyone see you."

"Yes," Zi Xin replied, and then ran off in a flash.

"Host, is Lin Suwan pregnant?" the system asked.

Not far from where Qi Ning lived, she casually picked a crabapple blossom and slowly walked back with the flower in her hand.

"As expected, that should be it."

Qi Ning smiled as she plucked the petals of the crabapple blossom, letting them drift away.

"This is our weakness."

In the original storyline, the original owner had already been killed by Duan Yihuai at this point in time, while Duan Yihuai and Lin Suwan began to fall in love. Around this time, Lin Suwan became pregnant with their first child.

Although the current situation is different from the original plot, during the period when Qi Ning was missing, Duan Yihuai and Lin Suwan also thought that she had died outside, so the two of them felt free to have sex again.

Therefore, Qi Ning speculated that Lin Suwan was very likely pregnant.

If she were pregnant, Qi Ning would have a ready-made handle against her, and wouldn't need to bother creating one.

This incriminating evidence is more useful than other forms of catching someone in the act of adultery.

"Then why did you send Duan Yiyuan to find Doctor Kang at Huichuntang?" the system asked again.

Qi Ning explained, "Just now I wanted to secretly take Lin Suwan's pulse, but as soon as I put my hand on her wrist, before I could even take her pulse, she pulled her hand back and gagged."

"Although dry heaving can be a sign of pregnancy, we still need to confirm it to see if she is really pregnant. Lin Suwan herself may also have doubts. She will probably call a doctor in tomorrow to confirm. That Dr. Kang from Huichuntang is the doctor Lin Suwan is used to."

The system suddenly realized: "So you had Duan Yiyuan bribe Dr. Kang in advance. If Lin Suwan is really pregnant, she can't know. We have to keep her in the dark for now."
