The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Tian Wenyan looked at the tightly closed gate of Hua Manlou, paced around the door a few times, and finally decided to knock.

Yawning, Xiao Si opened the door and looked at Tian Wenyan standing at the door: "We only open tonight, please come back tonight, sir!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut, and Tian Wenyan, who was standing at the door, almost had his nose caught in it.

Seeing the door shut again, Tian Wenyan kicked it in frustration.

"That snobbish bastard! He was all smiles when I came here a couple of days ago, but now he's turning me away."

Tian Wenyan walked around Hua Manlou, even the back door was closed.

Suddenly he saw a brown dog emerge from the corner of the wall not far from the back door.

Looking at the dog hole in front of him, big enough for a person to crawl through, Tian Wenyan felt utterly disgusted.

Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he slipped inside in a flash. Luckily, no one was watching, and he followed the path he remembered to the front of Little Peach Blossom's house.

He carefully smoothed the hair at his temples, tidied his blue robe, and knocked on the door with a smile.

Sleepy-eyed Little Peach Blossom walked over and opened the door. Looking at Tian Wenyan standing outside, she was displeased: "What are you doing? How did you get in?" She had heard from Young Master Li that she didn't need to pay any attention to this scholar Tian anymore.

If it weren't for the generous sum of money Mr. Li had given her, she wouldn't have bothered with this poor scholar. He was stingy and always trying to take advantage of her.

Because of him, he was often mocked by those two sluts, Qinghongliuli, who said he had terrible taste, hooking up with such a poor bastard who had no education.

He only knows how to recite some low-brow doggerel. If it weren't for the money he received from Young Master Li and his sycophancy, he would really think that his poems are the best.

In his haste, Tian Wenyan failed to notice Xiao Taohua's unhappy expression; all he wanted now was to borrow some money from her to tide him over.

"Go inside and talk quickly." Tian Wenyan had sneaked in and was naturally afraid of being discovered by the servants in the building, so he urged the person leaning against the door.

Little Peach Blossom could tell from Tian Wenyan's darting eyes that he had probably sneaked in from somewhere.

He scoffed, "Poor scholar, you still have money to come to a brothel? Don't you owe Young Master Li a lot of money?"

Tian Wenyan wasn't stupid. As soon as he heard her say that, he immediately understood that Li Jinhu had set a trap for him, and this little bitch had also participated.

No wonder she kept pestering me to order so many of the good drinks in the restaurant; they're all in cahoots.

Tian Wenyan's face was gloomy as he lowered his voice: "You filthy bitch, you conspired with them to frame me, you shameless slut..."

Tian Wenyan was not a noble person to begin with, so it's not surprising that he said these things.

Little Peach Blossom couldn't stand being insulted anymore. She lunged at Tian Wenyan, brandishing her claws and tearing at him. "You dare insult me? I'll scratch you to death, you stingy bastard! You deserve it! You've offended Young Master Li; you can forget about living in Qingshui Town..."

Hearing the commotion, people rushed out to watch the show. The incident alerted the madam in the building, who hurried over with small, quick steps, saying, "What are you looking at? Quickly pull them apart!"

He said to the gatekeeper, "Are you deaf? You let this person in, are you trying to deduct his wages?"

Little S panicked as soon as he heard that. "It wasn't me." Suddenly he realized, "He must have crawled in through the back door dog hole."

Upon hearing Xiao Si's words, the girls in the building who were watching immediately covered their noses and moved far away from Tian Wenyan.

Finally, Tian Wenyan was thrown out of the building by several people inside. Passersby only glanced at him a few times, already used to it. After all, it was common for freeloaders to be thrown out of this brothel.

Tian Wenyan felt a burning pain on his face, and when he touched it, he felt a lot of blood. He cursed inwardly: "That slut Xiao Taohua scratched my face and made me owe a lot of money. Just you wait, I, Tian Wenyan, will pay back double for the humiliation I suffered today."

The thought of having to pay back the money tomorrow, which would result in an extra hundred coins, dampened Tian Wenyan's anger considerably. Now, all he could do was go home and see if his mother had any money.

Yin Baicai looked at the person in her arms who had cried himself to sleep and gently placed him beside her.

Li Mo gripped Yin Baicai's sleeve tightly, as if afraid she would leave.

Yin Baicai felt less dizzy now, so she got up and drank the medicine that Li Zhe had left on the table when he left.

Looking at the empty bowl, he thought: So much time has passed, I wonder if that bully Li could find any clues. After all, Li Jiang is an old fox, he certainly wouldn't leave any leverage behind.

After assigning tasks to Jiang Su and He Qi, Li Zhe also began investigating in the town.

There weren't many people who came to Qingshui Town; it was just him, Jiang Su, and the other two.

The rest were placed in Qingning County, where many people had already taken Wushi San. Since they couldn't quit, Li Zhe had to send most of his men to guard them.

Therefore, fewer people followed him. He originally just wanted to come back to see his elder brother and sister-in-law, but he didn't expect to be delayed by other matters.

Li Zhe planned to write a letter back to Qingning County and send some more people over. He now needed to investigate not only his elder brother's affairs but also the matter of the Five-Stone Powder.

Yu Ming rushed to Fu Man Lou to keep his appointment with Wang Fu, who happily invited him in. He was now desperate and grasping at straws.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. If he doesn't come up with a good solution soon, he won't be able to pay Mr. Jin next month, and his job as manager will probably be over.

That very day, while he was drinking alone, he ran into Brother Zhao, who told him that he had some good stuff that would revive his business.

He waited for a long time, thinking the person wasn't coming, but then, as if on cue, the person appeared.

Yu Ming used the alias "Zhao Lin." Naturally, he dared not reveal his true identity, since all his servants had disappeared, and he was afraid that someone was secretly watching him.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I'm late. Something came up on the way. I hope you won't mind."

Wang Fu needed his help, so naturally he dared not blame him. He then directed the men to a private room on the second floor.

He Miao looked at Yu Ming and curiously leaned close to Manager Wang's ear to ask, "Manager, who is this? Why are you so friendly with him?"

Wang Fu was displeased. "Stop talking nonsense. This is my honored guest. Go to the kitchen and make arrangements. If I take good care of him, our restaurant's business will have a chance to improve."

Upon hearing this, He Miao nodded happily and headed towards the kitchen.

Before leaving, I rolled my eyes at Hongxi Restaurant across the street. Let's see how long you can be so smug. Before long, all the customers who went there will come back. Hongxi Restaurant will probably have to close down then.

He kept an eye on Manager Zhang across the street, watching as Wang Fu warmly invited in someone he had never seen before.

He only glanced at it twice before looking away. Ever since their scheme was foiled last time, Wang Fu had been behaving himself for a while. Now he's trying to pull the same trick again, but I'm not afraid of you.

Even Magistrate Ma has to give Young Master Yin some face. Let's see how much power Wang Fu has to bring down my Hongxi Tower. This tower isn't just my business anymore; Young Master Yin is standing behind me!
