The Mute Girl Saved the Young Marshal, and He Begged Her to Speak

Ning Qingyan is a mute girl everyone in Tian'an Town bullies. She lost her voice at six, and after her parents died, she spent thirteen years living under others' roofs, filling her stomach with leftovers and sleeping in a woodshed. Her heartless aunt wanted money so badly that she planned to sell Ning Qingyan as a second wife to a landowner in his fifties. At daybreak in late autumn, Ning Qingyan pulled a man with a gunshot wound from the Wuqi River and spent the whole night tending to him. She had no idea she had saved Xie Yunzheng, the only son of the Xie family of Jinning and commander of the Jing'an Army. In return for saving his life, Xie Yunzheng took her away from Tian'an Town, put an end to her absurd engagement, and helped her search for her estranged maternal family. As an old case was gradually brought to light, the massacre of the Su family, the crime Xie Yunzheng had been forced to bear, and a deadly ambush all pointed to the same mastermind! Everyone in Jinning knew that Xie Yunzheng was cold and heartless, and never showed interest in women. At a banquet, a young master from the Jiang family merely draped a shawl over Ning Qingyan's shoulders. Xie Yunzheng's expression immediately turned dark, and he took her away on the spot. Ning Qingyan was still recovering and could only manage a few scattered words. Driven to the brink of tears, she stammered out his name: “Xie... Yun...zheng.” His surging jealousy vanished in an instant. Xie Yunzheng bent down and clasped her hand, his hard edges softening completely as he murmured tenderly: “Ningning, say it one more time.” Blushing, the young woman gently shook her head. He refused to let go, coaxing her patiently: “Just once.” [Long-suffering mute heroine × domineering warlord commander | Republican-era romance | Sweet romance as he pursues her]
