Chapter 960: Chapter 958_1

After the wet nurse left, Xiao’er said, "When you feed him later, let Zhuan’er eat a bit more. Then squeeze out some breast milk for him. When it is almost dawn, I will take him away."

Shangguan Wanru nodded, but she couldn’t help worrying, "Will there be any problems? What if he suddenly cries when you are escaping with him?"

"Don’t worry, I have a way to keep him from crying." She will place the baby in the space where even if he cries, no one outside can hear! But she can’t tell this to Shangguan Wanru.

Shangguan Wanru wanted to ask what the method was, but she was worrying that she would not bear it, and therefore, did not ask.

Earlier, when she had put the itching powder on Zhuan’er, her heart couldn’t help but clench. However, Xiao’er was right. These inflictions were minor, and more importantly, they were for Zhuan’er’s own good. Though it would be uncomfortable for a while, everything would be fine after taking the antidote. Unlike those who secretly administered chronic poison, they took people’s lives!

Furthermore, Shangguan Wanru didn’t even know who she could trust in the mansion anymore; hence, she had no choice but to follow Xiao’er.

On thinking of this, Shangguan Wanru went to feed Zhuan’er. The difficulties that the baby had to endure now were for his future well-being, she couldn’t have a woman’s mercy.

After she had fed the baby fully and put him back to sleep, she filled a bottle with some milk to feed him when he got hungry.

Xiao’er then took out a mask and put it on Shangguan Wanru, helping her apply her makeup to look like a buyer. Then she had her put on men’s clothes.

Xiao’er examined Shangguan Wanru in detail and couldn’t help but marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of the space workshop. As long as she could sketch someone, the workshop could create a mask indistinguishable from the sketch.

Just by putting on the mask and applying some makeup to make the skin look more natural, anyone could completely transform into someone else.

Shangguan Wanru watched as Xiao’er disguised herself as another person with her own eyes, which left her amazed. Was there anything Xiao’er couldn’t do? No wonder she was called the lucky star of Minze Country! Ever since her arrival, Minze Country had gone from being the poorest nation to achieving rapid development. Soon, it could surpass Nangong Country and reign over several countries.

The Crown Prince once said that if Minze Country continued developing like this, it would become the strongest nation in the Central Plains within ten years.

"Xiao’er, where did this mask come from? Is it hard to make? Can you make a mask of anyone?"

Xiao’er shook her head after hearing this, "I don’t know if it’s hard to make, but I don’t know how to make it."

Xiao’er indeed did not know how to make it; it was made in the space workshop. If it were not for ensuring Shangguan Wanru’s successful escape, she wouldn’t let others know about such an extraordinary skill. After all, knowing about this could be harmful to her if someone had malicious intentions!

Since with such a mask, someone could easily impersonate another individual after killing them. Also, wearing such a mask would make it much easier to commit numerous wrong deeds! If everyone knew she had this ability, she could imagine the trouble that would befall her!

Seeing how Xiao’er reacted, Shangguan Wanru knew she couldn’t say much about the mask. But she badly wanted one, so she asked with a thick skin, "Xiao’er, can you tell me who made it? I want to ask her to make a mask for me."

"Are you thinking of making a Gong Qinghua mask? No one could easily imitate Gong Qinghua’s aura, it isn’t something an ordinary person can pull off." When Xiao’er heard this, she thought that Shangguan Wanru wanted to have a mask of Gong Qinghua.

Shangguan Wanru shook her head. In fact, she wasn’t thinking of Gong Qinghua’s mask; Gong Qinghua wasn’t someone whom anyone could imitate. She knew this. She wanted a mask modeled after Xiao’er.

She knew that Gong Qinghua had a special thing for Xiao’er. She wanted to use Xiao’er’s identity to get close to him and then kill him. However, how could she say this to Xiao’er?

"If not, then whose mask are you thinking of?"

"I want the mask of a woman Gong Qinghua fancies."

"Gong Qinghua fancies a woman? I thought he only loved himself and Jiang Shan. Someone like him should not put a woman first in his heart. Moreover, he’s very shrewd. He would spot a counterfeit woman who he had an interest in right away. Today, you could tell at a glance that I was disguised, right?"

Xiao’er was unfamiliar with Ziwan. It was impossible for all her gestures to be the same as Ziwan’s. An observant person could spot this right away.

"Of course, I would find someone who knows the girl well to do it. Xiao’er, can you tell me who makes these masks?"

On hearing this, Xiao’er shook her head apologetically, "Sorry, I can’t tell you. If I told you, they wouldn’t make any masks anymore. But you can tell me who the girl is. I can draw her portrait and send it to the person so they can make the mask."

This was the biggest concession Xiao’er had made so far.

"Never mind, you’ve never seen the girl," Shangguan Wanru said disappointedly.

"Actually, I think this plan isn’t going to work. A woman who could be truly liked by Gong Qinghua must be special. It would be difficult to imitate such a person. In fact, you better not allow anyone to go on a suicide mission for no reason!"

"Yes, she is not ’ordinary’" Shangguan Wanru replied somewhat despondently.

Seeing that the day was about to break, Xiao’er, having no time to console her, said, "Killing Gong Qinghua isn’t so easy. He is surrounded by skilled masters. Dawn is approaching, we better start moving now!"

After hearing this, Shangguan Wanru nodded, handing the sleeping baby in her arms to Xiao’er, "Xiao’er, thank you! Please, take good care of him!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I will do that. What’s our relation after all? There’s no need for any formalities." Xiao’er carefully took the baby and left with him.

Watching Xiao’er leave, Shangguan Wanru’s heart raced—with hopes of everything going smoothly.

Xiao’er arrived at a secluded corner where no one could see her. She put Zhuan’er into the space and placed the unconscious Ziwan in the corner. At noon, Xiao’er had already found an opportunity to put Ziwan from the rockery into the space. This was to set up the plot for the night. When people would come to know that Zhuan’er was kidnapped from Ziwan, chaos would reign. They would be searching for the child everywhere.

Then, Xiao’er reapplied her makeup in the space.
