The mansion appeared somewhat deserted in the night, with fewer people around, and the lanterns hanging throughout were sparsely lit, casting a dim glow over the estate.
In the night breeze, the trees swayed with the wind in the dark, making people feel that there was something hidden in the darkness.
Gu Yunzhen subconsciously held Gu Yanfei's arm. Ever since she heard the cry of a baby in the small garden that night, she had been feeling uneasy and didn't dare to walk around casually at night.
"Wa… Wa…"
A baby's shrill cry came faintly with the night wind, sandwiched between the rustling leaves.
Gu Yunzhen's body seemed to be frozen. She froze and stopped in her tracks.
The wind ruffled her bangs and hair at her temples, tickling her cheek playfully.
"Second Sister, you… you…" Gu Yunzhen gulped and asked Gu Yanfei in fear, "Did you hear just now…"
She listened again. There was silence in the darkness, and she heard nothing. It seemed to be her imagination just now.
