Chapter 901: Pinru's Wardrobe

Zu An was puzzled. Seeing the name, he couldn't help but look bewildered.

He hastily read the subsequent explanation.

Skill: Pinru's Wardrobe.

Skill Description: Legend has it that a scoundrel once had an affair with his wife's best friend. During a private rendezvous, after showering, the best friend put on the wife's clothes and declared, "Since we're pursuing excitement, let's go all the way." The scoundrel then gave the classic response, "You're so audacious!" Because the wife's name was Pinru, her wardrobe became known as "Pinru's Wardrobe."

Effect: Upon activation, a wardrobe appears. Women's clothes can be stored in it beforehand. When another woman puts on an item of clothing from the wardrobe, anyone near the wardrobe will mistake her for the original owner of that clothing. Note: This only affects the perception of third parties. To you and the wearer, she will retain her own appearance. The effect dissipates when the wearer moves more than ten meters away from the wardrobe.

After reading this description, Zu An was utterly flustered.

Why are all the skills I draw so useless? If wearing the clothes made someone transform into the corresponding person, I could at least play some cosplay. But no, it only affects third parties, and in my eyes, her appearance doesn't change. What good is this broken skill?

With a thought, he activated the skill, and a plain, ordinary-looking wardrobe appeared before him. He opened it to find it empty. Zu An tried to gauge the space; it seemed too small to hide a person. He shook his head, finding the skill inexplicable and unable to imagine any scenario where it would be useful. He was about to dismiss it, but for some inexplicable reason, he instinctively opened the other side of the wardrobe, took out a dress belonging to Chu Chuyan, and placed it inside.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Zu An jumped, quickly closed the wardrobe doors, and called out, "Who is it?"

"Master, there's a woman outside asking to see you," a maid's voice replied.

"Who is she?" Zu An asked curiously. If it were someone like Chu Youzhao or Murong Qinghe, the Chu family servants would certainly recognize them.

"I don't know, Master. She's wrapped in a cloak and said she's a good friend of yours, saying you'll know her when you see her," the maid replied.

"Let her in," Zu An said, feeling a bit curious. In broad daylight, he wasn't afraid of any malicious individuals. Even if it were a villain, with his current cultivation, it was hard to say who would come out on top.

Soon, a woman draped entirely in a white cloak entered. Her head was also veiled, and despite the layers of concealment, her graceful figure was discernible.

Upon seeing her, Zu An first paused, then a gentle smile appeared on his face. He quickly waved to the maid, "You may leave now."

"Oh," the maid said. She had initially been vigilant, intending to screen the visitor for her mistress, but now that Zu An was the master and had spoken, she could only reluctantly depart.

After the maid left, Zu An walked over and deliberately closed the door.

The woman couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Master Zu, what are you doing? It's bound to cause gossip, a man and a woman alone in a room."

Zu An turned to her and said, "Anyway, you're wrapped up so tightly, no one will know who you are."

"And do *you* know?" The woman had clearly altered her voice, intending to conceal her identity.

Zu An pulled her into his embrace, "How could I not know, my Dan'er?"

The woman removed the veil from her head, revealing a delicate, oval face. Who else could it be but Zheng Dan?

Her eyes were full of joy. "I was wrapped up so tightly, how did you recognize me?"

Zu An reached out and gently stroked her exquisite nose. It was still as smooth and delicate to the touch. "Of course, it's a connection of souls. We've been together for so long, our hearts are already intertwined. The moment I saw you, I knew it was you."

In reality, he recognized her primarily by her scent. Each of his female confidantes had a distinct fragrance, and having spent so much time with Zheng Dan, he could never forget hers. Moreover, he had recently heard news of Sang Hong's return to the capital, so the outcome wasn't hard to guess. Of course, only honest people tell the truth at such a moment. As a master of romance, how could he forget sweet nothings?

"It's been days since we last met, and your tongue has grown even smoother at charming women," Zheng Dan snorted, her tone filled with playful petulance. "Confess, how many girls have you charmed these past few days?"

"How could a gentleman like me mess around?" Zu An replied without batting an eyelid. "Besides, I've been constantly fighting for my life these past few days; I haven't had any chance to flirt with anyone."

"I'll take your word for it." Zheng Dan didn't doubt him; after all, many people knew his whereabouts. It wasn't as if he could have been flirting with the Crown Princess, right?

Zu An gazed at the beauty in his arms. Dressed in a simple white gown, she looked even more delicate and captivating. Noticing the trace of weariness in her brows, he couldn't help but gently caress her cheek. "Dan'er, you've lost weight since we last met."

Zheng Dan looked at him with her large, glistening eyes. "I lost weight thinking of you."

Zu An smiled. This was the true Zheng Dan, the noble young lady who appeared serene and dignified on the surface, but was passionately fiery underneath. He could no longer resist and simply leaned in to kiss her. Zheng Dan let out a soft moan, collapsing into his embrace as if melting.

As the saying goes, "a short parting is better than a new marriage." They had been apart for several months, and this kiss truly ignited a passionate fire.

Just then, another knock sounded at the door.

"Master! Master!" The little maid's voice rang out again.

"Don't disturb me unless it's important!" Zu An looked up, his tone filled with annoyance.

"Master Sang and Miss Sang are asking to see you," the maid's voice was timid and aggrieved.

"Oh!" Now it was Zheng Dan's turn to panic. She pushed Zu An away and hastily straightened her disheveled clothes.

"Uh, I'm not seeing them," Zu An replied directly, then told Zheng Dan, "Don't worry."

Zheng Dan, her face flushed, ultimately had no mind to continue what they were doing. "I told them I was out handling some business for the Zheng family. If they saw me here, it would be awkward for everyone."

Zu An was somewhat surprised. "The Zheng family's business has reached the capital?"

Zheng Dan rolled her eyes. Was that the point?

Just then, the little maid rushed back to report, "Master, Master, Master Sang and Miss Sang say they have urgent matters to discuss and insist on seeing you briefly. They said they'll leave right after."

Hearing their persistence, Zu An felt a headache coming on. Zheng Dan, her face flushed, said, "I'll leave first. I'll find you when I have time later." With that, she opened the back window, intending to slip out, but seeing several maids cleaning in the backyard, she hastily closed the window, startled. If she went out looking like that, anyone would know something was amiss.

Just then, some commotion could be heard from a distance:"Master Sang, you can't just barge in!""Master Sang, Miss Sang!"

Hearing the voices getting closer, it was clear that Sang Hong and his daughter were rapidly approaching. Zheng Dan's face turned pale. "What should I do?" Although she had planned to explain to Sang Hong and his daughter and declare her freedom after returning from burying Sang Qian in their hometown, she hadn't had the chance yet. Currently, she was still Sang Hong's widowed daughter-in-law. If they were to be discovered prematurely, the situation would be entirely different.

Zu An also felt a pang of headache. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, falling directly on the wardrobe. With a strange expression, he rushed over, opened the wardrobe, and handed her the dress inside. "Put this on."

Having been in Brightmoon City for so many years, Zheng Dan naturally recognized Chu Chuyan's dress at a glance. She couldn't help but feel both embarrassed and anxious. "At a time like this, and you're still thinking about such things!"

Normally, she wouldn't mind playing such lovers' games with Zu An, but now they were in a desperate situation.

Zu An's voice was calm. "Trust me, putting this on will help us get through this."
