Xue Baoyi remembered, "The one you brought back from Da Mai Mountain five years ago?"
Qiao Nanchu responded with a hum.
Xue Baoyi fell silent.
That girl was somewhat special, she was mute and deaf. Qiao Nanchu's stepmother was a ruthless woman; she abandoned the girl to marry into the Qiao Family. The girl was different from ordinary people; she was born with disabilities due to being the product of close relatives. In the backward and feudal place like Da Mai Mountain, five years ago, the people there wanted to drown the girl. It was rumored that it wasn't the first time they had 'punished' her.
Qiao Nanchu brought the girl to the Imperial City.
At the time, Xue Baoyi had asked him why he brought that burden along.
How did he reply back then?
"Maybe I'm just kind-hearted."
Kind-hearted, my ass!
Xue Baoyi thought for a while, "Nanchu, seriously, are you raising a wife or a daughter?"
