Su Yan shook her head gravely, "I don’t know, we have to try to find out whether there’s any hope."
She then turned to Zining, her voice soft and smiling, "Little Bao, can you hear teacher speaking? If you can, blink once."
Zining indeed blinked once. It was slow, but a definite blink.
Su Yan clapped her hands joyfully, "Chu Yuxiao, look, he blinked his eyes! He can hear speak!"
Chu Yuxiao did not think so.
"Could it be his eyes were just dry, and that’s why he blinked? It could have been a coincidence that you witnessed."
"Is that so?" Su Yan furrowed her brows, staring intently at Zining before asking again, "Little Bao, can you hear teacher speaking? If you can, blink once."
This ti, Zining did not blink.
Su Yan was disappointed. The first ti was indeed a coincidence.
Chu Yuxiao looked at her expression amusingly and asked, "Why do you call him Little Bao? Also, does teacher an the sa as master?"
Su Yan nodded, "Yes, teacher ans the sa as master. I call him Little Bao because he is a child. Aren’t children often called ’Little Bao,’ or ’baby’?"
Chu Yuxiao: "..."
"Why do you refer to yourself as his master in front of him? You’re not his master, are you?"
Su Yan gave him an exasperated look, "Then what should he call ? Sister? Auntie? Princess? Marchioness? Those titles don’t fit, so it’s better for him to call teacher."
Chu Yuxiao helplessly massaged his temples.
It seed that, apart from teacher, all other titles were quite suitable...
Su Yan believed that to cure Little Bao’s affliction, they must first understand why he was unwilling to speak.
And the key person to this question was Xuanyuan Bei’s wife, Qiu Ruyue.
Three years ago, three events happened concurrently: the forr Marchioness died, Little Bao stopped speaking, and Qiu Ruyue married Xuanyuan Bei.
It was quite the coincidence that they all happened together.
But upon closer reflection, they were all connected, and both Qiu Ruyue and Xuanyuan Bei most certainly knew everything.
Asking Xuanyuan Bei seed a bit impossible; that man was intimidating.
Better to ask Qiu Ruyue instead.
Having made up her mind, Su Yan arranged to et Qiu Ruyue at her own residence in the Other Garden.
