114 Sympathy Tactic (1/2)

They reached the dining room and Wang Daqin shoved Xuxu towards the chair that she had just pulled out. ”Take a seat first, the bird's nest porridge will be ready soon. If you feel like eating anything else, just inform Aunt Zhang to cook it for you.”

After saying this, she walked into the kitchen.

Wen Xuxu stared suspiciously at Wang Daqin's back. What's happening right now?

Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen with the bird's nest porridge and served it carefully. ”Miss Xuxu, the bird's nest porridge is ready. It's neither too hot nor cold, you can eat it right away.”

She had on a smile that was identical to Wang Daqin's... filled with ambiguity.

”That... Aunt Zhang.” Wen Xuxu couldn't contain her curiosity anymore and asked, ”I wanted to ask, what happened to Grandmother?”

Aunt Zhang frowned but then flashed another smile. ”You silly girl, she's just happy and overjoyed. What else could it be?”

Wen Xuxu was frustrated.

She had eyes, so of course she could tell how happy she was, alright? She just wanted to ask why she was so happy and gleeful?

”Aunt Zhang, the person who sold the soft-shelled turtle said that you must stew it once it's slaughtered. That way, the effect of the boiled soup will be maximized. If you delay the timing, the effects won't be as good.” Wang Daqin came out of the kitchen and instructed Aunt Zhang at the same time.

Aunt Zhang nodded. ”I know, I'll slaughter it now.”

Soft-shelled turtle? Effects?

What was it for? Wen Xuxu was nonplussed as she looked at the two old ladies.

She asked, ”Whose body isn't well?”

Wasn't boiled turtle soup supposed to nourish one's body?

”It's nothing,” Wang Daqin denied, shaking her head guiltily. ”No one is unwell. I just felt that both you and Rusheng have been working too hard recently. It's just to replenish your health.”

”Oh!” Wen Xuxu was speechless.
