The Young Marquis who is Blind yet Clear-Headed (9)

"This woman, could she be some mountain spirit or demon? I've seen that pit. It's bottomless, and there's really no way up at all. Ordinary people who fall into it are bound to die. There's no way they can climb up. But this woman actually brought Ning'er back safely in one piece. And look at her mannerisms and how she dresses. Why do I feel that even the late Empress Dowager's poise and bearing couldn't compare to hers?" Xiao Anning's father, Xiao Shengsheng, said with a frown.

This name, Xiao Shengsheng, was a painful part of his past that he was unwilling to talk about. He could only blame himself for not being able to talk when he was born. As a result, his father had chosen such an embarrassing name for him, and he'd had no power to resist.
