Chapter 88 - 87: Revealing Her Fake Marriage with Gao Zheng
Xue Mianmian lowered her voice: "My young master is skilled in mimicry. If he disguises himself as Nanny Zhang and imitates her voice, wouldn’t that deceive Bai Shuangshuang into trusting him? Then, we can think of a way to pry some information out of her. Surely uncovering the truth from back then wouldn’t be too difficult."
Shen Yinning asked curiously: "Xue Ling can mimic voices?"
"His name only consists of the single character ’Ling,’ which was chosen by his foster father during his childhood. Before his foster father started working at the Minister’s Mansion, he made his living as an itinerant performer, proficient in a variety of skills, including mimicry, which he taught Xue Ling."
Shen Yinning grew even more curious: "How do you know this?"
Xue Mianmian clenched her small handkerchief.
When she was younger, she was spoiled and mischievous. Whenever she cried, no one could pacify her. Her mother, left with no choice, had Xue Ling perform tricks in the backyard to cheer her up.
At that time, Xue Ling was silent and reserved, but his mimicry skills were exceptional. He could imitate anyone’s voice and even mimic animal sounds with uncanny accuracy.
Knowing she enjoyed watching his performances, her mother would often have Xue Ling entertain her in the backyard.
But now that Xue Ling’s status was elevated, there was no chance he’d use mimicry to humor her anymore.
Seeing her look troubled, Shen Yinning didn’t press further and merely said, "Xue Ling loathes me, much like I loathe him. Getting him to help me might prove difficult..."
But not entirely impossible.
