The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Yin Baicai looked at the little man who had calmed down and wiped away Li Mo's tears with her sleeve. This little guy cried so sadly. She remembered the first time she met him.

He grabbed me and started crying, even mistaking me for his "mother".

Li Mowo was sobbing in Yin Baicai's arms.

Yin Baicai asked tentatively, "Momo, why won't you let your mother take her medicine? She'll only get better if she takes it."

Li Mo shook her head firmly, "I won't eat... If I eat, Mother will close her eyes, and she will fall asleep. Second Grandfather and the others will laugh... and then..."

Li Mo's disjointed words stirred up quite a stir in the hearts of Yin Baicai and Li Zhe.

Could it be that Xiao Mo saw something? Yin Baicai and Li Zhe exchanged a glance, and Li Zhe gestured for Yin Baicai to continue questioning Li Mo.

Yin Baicai patted Li Mo's back: "What are you saying, Xiao Mo? Mother won't close her eyes, you see."

Li Mo shook his head: "It's not this mother, it's the mother with long hair. She took the medicine, and Mo Mo hasn't seen her since."

Li Zhe's eyes were gloomy. He listened to Li Mo's words and recalled when he took Li Mo to see the doctor, the doctor said that Li Mo was upset and that's why he didn't want to speak.

Li Zhe felt that he understood everything.

Not only did Li Zhe understand, but Yin Baicai also gleaned a shocking truth from Li Mo's words.

The death of Xiao Mo's mother is inextricably linked to Li Jiang; perhaps it's...

The thought of this possibility made Yin Baicai feel even more sorry for Li Mo, after all, he was only three years old when he witnessed his own mother die in front of him.

Li Zhe exuded immense pressure. The thought of this possibility made him unable to hold back for even a moment longer. He wished he could drag Li Jiang out and tear him to pieces immediately.

Yin Baicai shook her head at him: "Don't act rashly. Investigate thoroughly first, put all the evidence in front of you, and see what excuses Li Jiang has left."

Li Zhe's raging anger was somewhat extinguished by Yin Baicai's words. "Okay, you watch over Xiao Mo. I'll go to town first."

Yin Baicai nodded. He knew that Li Zhe had his own way of finding out, so he wouldn't interfere. The only thing he could do was to help him take good care of Li Mo.

Li Mo stayed nestled in Yin Baicai's arms, constantly sniffing the scent on his clothes.

Yin Baicai was much more clear-headed now and asked curiously, "Xiao Mo said I smell nice, but I can't smell anything. Tell me what smells nice?"

Li Mo's small eyes were red, and she whispered, "Mother's clothes smell fragrant, just like Mother."

Yin Baicai knew that the "mother" Li Mo mentioned later was his biological mother.

It seems this little guy has mixed his own scent with his mother's.

The villagers all like to use soap pods to wash clothes, and they add a little tea seed cake to make the clothes smell better.

Moreover, the addition of tea seed cake and soapberry makes the flavor less strong.

Wearing a straw raincoat, Li Zhe drove an oxcart to the town alone.

He knocked on the door of Jiang Su's courtyard. As soon as Jiang Su opened the door, he saw his eldest brother standing outside with a gloomy expression. At that moment, he seemed to see the cold-faced war god who was invincible on the battlefield again.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Li Zhe pursed his lips, his gaze turning sinister. "Let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Su followed behind, looking bewildered. What could have caused the general to make such an expression? Could it be related to Yu Ming?

Li Zhe said to Jiang Su and He Qi in the courtyard, "You two go and investigate something for me first. Hand over the Five Stone Powder matter to Lin Xing first, and try to find out the truth about it."

Li Zhe's last sentence was almost uttered through gritted teeth. He was filled with rage at the thought of Li Jiang doing such a thing to his sister-in-law and nephew.

How dare Li Jiang? Xiao Mo is only three years old, yet he poisoned his sister-in-law right in front of him. No wonder he was so timid when he first met Xiao Mo.

If I, Li Zhe, find out about Li Jiang and Wang Huanhua, I will make sure they pay a bloody price.

Jiang Su and He Qi were also grave upon hearing this. They never imagined that someone could be so ruthless as to murder another for the sake of family property.

"Yes, boss, we will definitely find out the whole story as soon as possible."

The light rain falling from the sky was just like Li Zhe's gloomy heart at this moment. Li Zhe's eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred.

At this moment, Li Jiang was still thinking about how to deal with Li Zhe, unaware that he was about to face an abyss.

Yu Ming disguised himself and was preparing to go to Fu Man Lou today. He had specifically inquired about it a couple of days ago and learned that Fu Man Lou was owned by the Jin family.

Since Yang Hu disappeared, he has become increasingly anxious. His connection with Master Huang has been completely severed, and now he has set his sights on the Jin family.

The Jin family is the county magistrate's backer, and they have the magistrate backing them up. If they can get on that side, they won't have to worry about not being able to sell their Five-Stone Powder.

Once these people take my Five-Stone Powder and become addicted, they'll be able to do whatever I say in this Qingshui Town.

Two days ago, Wang Fu was drinking alone at Hua Man Lou when he met Yu Ming, who was disguised. The two chatted happily and became acquainted.

Yu Ming also came to approach him on purpose. He had Li Jiang investigate the Jin family's connections beforehand and felt that it would be best to start with Wang Fu.

After all, Wang Fu used to be a capable subordinate of Master Jin Dameng, and his Fumanlou restaurant made a lot of money for the Jin family. Now, as long as he can get the Fumanlou business up and running again, he won't have to worry about not being able to get in touch with Master Jin.

Today, I happened to be invited by Wang Fu to a restaurant for dinner, where we could discuss his ideas on how to help the restaurant regain its former vitality.

As Yu Ming sat in the carriage, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and hurriedly called for the driver to stop.

"Quick...quick, stop."

Lifting the carriage curtain and braving the light drizzle, I headed towards Qianzhitang.

She grabbed Huang Xilian's sleeve as she was about to leave with the medicine, and said excitedly, "Xiao... Xiao Rou, it really is you." She didn't realize that her voice was trembling.

Before Huang Xilian could say anything, her personal maid standing next to her slapped Yu Ming's hand away: "Where did this lecher come from? Let go of my young lady!"

Yu Ming didn't care; his gaze remained fixed on Huang Xilian. The excitement in his eyes was undeniable.

Xiaoju shielded her young mistress behind her, watching the lecherous man staring intently at her.

"Don't look." Turning to Huang Xilian, he said, "Miss, let's go quickly, Master is waiting for the medicine!"

After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Huang Xilian away. Huang Xilian didn't even glance at Yu Ming, but thought: This bearded man is so strange, could it be that I've mistaken him for someone else?

The master and servant hurriedly got into the carriage and left. Yu Ming watched Huang Xilian leave, his gaze following her closely.

He was shocked: They looked so alike, so incredibly alike, their appearances were like they were made from the same mold as Xiaorou.

Thinking of his departed wife Jiang Rou, Yu Ming concealed the fierce glint in his eyes. It was all the fault of the group of people sent by the imperial court. If it weren't for them, the three of us would still be happily together.

The people getting medicine at the clinic mocked Yu Ming: "He's like a toad trying to eat swan meat. How could a country bumpkin like him even dream of marrying the young lady of the Huang family?"

"Even so, I don't even look at how much I weigh."

The mocking tone enraged Yu Ming, making him want to kill the person.

However, listening to their conversation, he learned that the woman who looked so much like Xiaorou was actually the daughter of the Huang family.

It seems I can't give up on the Huang family line yet.
