A Few Words to Win Over White Pete

As soon as Bai Piwu said this, Xiao Zetian raised his eyebrows without showing any emotion.

Although Bai Piwu had now pledged loyalty to him, this man was highly skilled, very proud of himself, and treasured his disguise skills greatly. When Xiao Yun asked him to use his disguise, Bai Piwu made all sorts of excuses to avoid it.

Especially when it came to making masks, it was only because Xiao Yun used threats and persuasion that Bai Piwu reluctantly agreed to make one.

But now, with just a few words from Su Li, Bai Piwu voluntarily offered to make the masks himself.

Xiao Zetian looked at his beloved wife and rubbed his nose, thinking to himself, "Ah Li is truly extraordinary—she even managed to tame the stubborn Bai Piwu with just a few words."

Su Li, unaware of her own power, blinked eagerly and said, "Mr. Bai, that's wonderful, thank you so much. By the way, could you also make a few masks for my husband?"

Su Li pointed at Xiao Zetian, thinking that if he had disguise masks, it would make his affairs much more convenient in the future.

Xiao Zetian exchanged a glance with Su Li, feeling warmed inside: his wife truly had him in her heart and always thought of him.

Bai Piwu agreed readily, saying, "Alright, but making so many masks will take about two hours. Please be patient, madam. Later, I'll also teach you how to change your voice, so you can speak with a man's voice and avoid suspicion."

Su Li, excited at the thought of getting so many disguise masks, said happily, "Then please, Mr. Bai, go to the side room and take your time making them. You must be hungry after such a long journey. I'll have someone send you some food."

Bai Piwu was so touched he didn't know what to say, hurriedly expressing his thanks.

Xiao Zetian said, "Wife, I'll take Bai Piwu to the side room and come back to find you later."

Su Li smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Xiao Zetian took Bai Piwu away, leaving Su Li alone in the study. She untied her feminine hair bun in front of the mirror and restyled it into a masculine hairstyle, which suited her male face very well. Apart from wearing women's clothes, from the neck up she looked like a refined young gentleman.

Su Li suddenly got a mischievous idea, cleared her throat, and called out, "Go fetch Bai Lu!"

Soon, Bai Lu arrived, knocking on the door first. After Su Li gave permission, she pushed the door open. Seeing Su Li in a male guise, Bai Lu was momentarily stunned, her eyes flashing with clear suspicion: "Who are you!? Where is my lady?"

Su Li smiled gently. Though dressed as a handsome and elegant young gentleman, when she spoke, it was in a female voice: "Bai Lu, I am your lady!"

Bai Lu was completely stunned, staring blankly at Su Li: "Y-you are the lady?"

"Hehe, Bai Lu, what do you think of my male appearance?" Su Li stood up and walked over with a cheerful smile.

She was still wearing the same dress as before, looking like a cross-dressing lady.

Seeing her figure, clothes, and voice, Bai Lu finally believed she was indeed Su Li and relaxed her guard, circling around Su Li with awe: "Lady, you disguised yourself as a man so well, you almost fooled me too."

Su Li was quite proud and said, "Once I learn to speak with a man's voice, bind my chest, and change into men's clothes, Bai Lu, tell me, if your lady—oh no, your young master—goes out like that, won't he captivate a whole crowd of young girls?"

Bai Lu laughed, covering her mouth: "Su young master is so handsome, all the young girls' hearts will be stolen by you!"

Then Bai Lu nervously added, "Lady, you mustn't let the heir see you like this. With his fickle nature, if he takes a liking to you, what will we do?"
