Chapter 514: About to Give Birth

The shadowy figure perched on the wall found a slightly higher spot to watch over everything inside the residence from.

Two old hens clucked a few times, squinting their eyes and pacing back and forth.

Realizing the intruder was a stranger, they screamed as if they had been plucked, their cries sharper and shriller than those of roosters.

No one expected this turn of events. The person hiding on the wall was taken aback by the two hens, and hid even lower when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

"What's going on?"

The person running over was Cheng Yue.

Having taken care of Nanzhi for a few days without any problems, and with Sun Cui about to give birth, Nanzhi simply invited Cheng Yue to stay.

On most days, she would help fetch water and chat with Mother Lin about the past to pass the time whenever she was bored.

She was familiar with the instinctive reactions of these two old hens and took better care of them than the other servants.
