Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Panic-stricken Nanny Hua

Yanyan came back and learned about Chu Nanli’s overeating, her expression suddenly turned strange.

In Chu Nanli’s eyes, Yanyan looked like... a mother worried about her children not being well-fed.

Just as she thought this, she heard Yanyan say, "My lady, you have suffered a lot before."

"..." Chu Nanli.

"From now on, I will instruct the kitchen to vary the meals for you, but you must not binge eat like today again, as it harms your health," Yanyan said seriously, her words deeply heartfelt.

Chu Nanli remained silent.

What had turned her demure maid into an old nanny?

Besides, could she admit it was because of her pregnancy that her appetite fluctuated?

After painstakingly navigating around the binge eating discussion with Yanyan, Chu Nanli quickly changed the subject.

"Have the items been delivered to Zhuang Muyan?"

Yanyan answered, "Yes, Young Master Zhuang personally came to collect them. He asked me to express his gratitude and mentioned that if he is available tomorrow, he will come in person to thank you."

Chu Nanli did not care whether Zhuang Muyan came or not; she only hoped that Zhuang Muyan would genuinely read those books and the letter carefully and learn well.

As the night deepened, Chu Nanli entered the space before sleeping.

After lifting her inner garment, she saw her bulging belly.

She placed her hands over it, and even without any movement from the baby, she could still feel a new life under her palm.

Chu Nanli carefully caressed her belly, her expression incredibly tender.

This was her first time experiencing the feeling of motherhood in her two lives.

It was truly miraculous.

After a while, Chu Nanli went to check on the little one in the Breeding Box. With continuous infusions of nutrients, it showed stable vital signs; its closed eyes looked very peaceful.

"It’s time to let Nanny Hua take care of the space."

Chu Nanli muttered, and after checking the Breeding Box, she left the room.

However, although Nanny Hua had already submitted, her loyalty might not be absolute; Chu Nanli still needed to find a way to grind away her remaining malice.

Thinking of this, Chu Nanli pondered for a moment and then had an idea.

...

Nanny Hua lay in the room, barely clinging to life.

Whether intentionally or not, Chu Nanli always forgot to send food in for her.

When starving, she could only open the strange mechanism and frantically drink the flowing water to fill her belly.

Having been in this secluded place for so many days, she felt she was going mad and deeply realized something—Chu Nanli must be a being from beyond this world, not someone she could afford to provoke.

"Snap!"

Just then, the lights in the room dimmed.

Nanny Hua shuddered with fright.

"Sizzle."

Nanny Hua did not recognize the sound as electricity, which made it seem even more eerie, and her body kept shrinking toward the corner of the wall.

"Thud!"

Along with a drumbeat, a patch of light suddenly appeared on the previously dark wall.

Immediately after, Nanny Hua saw Chu Nanli.

Her eyes darkened, and she almost fainted from fear when she heard Chu Nanli start to speak, still able to hear her voice.

"Nanny Hua, you have committed many evils by Lin Fuying’s side and should no longer be alive. However, now you have a chance for redemption."

Nanny Hua trembled with fear, her face pale, and she quickly kowtowed.

"I am willing to redeem myself! Willing to redeem myself!"

Chu Nanli said, "If you dare to betray me, I have many ways to kill you. For instance... I can enter your dreams to dismember your soul, ensuring you will never be reborn. Do not doubt that I can do it. What you see now is my soul leaving my body; I am giving you a chance to verify this."

Nanny Hua was so scared that her limbs failed her, but she could not help asking, "How... how can I verify it?"

"Come here and try to touch me."

Nanny Hua swallowed her saliva and slowly crawled over.

Gritting her teeth, she reached out towards Chu Nanli.

The next moment, she grasped at air; her hand passed through Chu Nanli’s "body." Even the shadow of her fingers could be seen mingling with Chu Nanli’s figure on the wall.

Nanny Hua let out a cry of horror and turned her head to look for Chu Nanli’s figure everywhere but found nothing.

Chu Nanli smiled at her then.

"How about that?"

Nanny Hua was shaking like a sieve, drenched in cold sweat.

Having lived for so many years, this was her first encounter with such a situation.

She had initially thought it was Chu Nanli’s shadow, but there was no trace of Chu Nanli in the room, and the door had not been opened.

What did this imply? It implied that Chu Nanli truly was not a mortal!

Whether a demon, a ghost, or an immortal, she was no match for her.

Nanny Hua assured her, her heart filled with terror.

"I am utterly loyal to the Princess Consort, with no second thoughts! Please believe me, Your Highness!"

Chu Nanli said, "I will come to find you later."

Inside a room, Chu Nanli remotely controlled the device, turned off the screen projection, and then got up to find Nanny Hua.
