The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Tang Xiaoyan pursed her lips nervously, "Brother Li, don't be sad. The Li Jiang family deserved to die."

Li Zhe wasn't familiar with her and didn't want to listen to her nonsense. He turned around to close the door, but when he saw Yin Baicai leading Li Mo over in the distance, he suddenly changed his mind.

Now the matter concerning my father and the others has been fully investigated, and the Li Jiang family has received the punishment they deserve.

The young man who was relatively close to him a few days ago has now distanced himself from him again. Li Zhe had an idea in mind. He felt that he had to provoke Yin Baicai properly, otherwise the kid would hide like a turtle.

Li Zhe remained expressionless, but as Yin Baicai approached, he welcomed Tang Xiaoyan inside, saying, "Come in and sit down. Let me pour you a glass of water."

Tang Xiaoyan was overjoyed. She thought she had returned empty-handed again today, but unexpectedly, Brother Li suddenly invited her into his house.

Tang Xiaoyan deliberately concealed the joy in her eyes, her voice soft and gentle, "Thank you, Brother Li. Then I'll take my leave. These are some small snacks I made myself, just thinking..."

Before Tang Xiaoyan could finish speaking, Li Zhe took the small bamboo basket from her hand and said, "Come inside and sit down."

Tang Xiaoyan happily took small steps inside. This was her first time visiting Brother Li's house, and the house looked really grand.

It seems the storyteller in the teahouse was right. Men do like gentle and considerate people. Now is the time when Brother Li is grieving for his parents and his brother and sister-in-law, which is also a good opportunity for me to get to know him.

From a distance, Yin Baicai watched as Li Zhe chatted with a thin woman in a plain long dress and even invited her to his home, and she immediately panicked.

Who is this woman? Why did that bully Li invite her to his house? Doesn't this scoundrel know how to avoid suspicion? Besides, he's now involved with me...

Lost in her thoughts, Yin Baicai was startled by Li Mo's soft gasp. Li Mo pouted and said, "Mom, you're hurting my hand."

Yin Baicai immediately squatted down and blew on Li Mo's little hand: "Excuse me, did you hurt yourself? Let me see."

Li Mo shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Yin Baicai muttered to herself, "Who is that woman? I'm so curious! What's her relationship with Li Zhe?"

Yin Baicai grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she simply picked up Li Mo and rushed to Li Zhe's house.

He had to hurry and see who the woman in plain clothes that Li Zhe had invited home was.

Don't let Yin Baicai's thin appearance fool you; he has long legs and arrived at the courtyard gate in no time.

Hearing Yin Baicai panting as she reached the courtyard gate, Li Zhe deliberately brought Tang Xiaoyan a bowl of water. "Miss Tang must be thirsty, have some water."

Tang Xiaoyan opened her mouth wide in surprise, wondering why Brother Li was being so patient with her today. She took the water Li Zhe handed her and thanked him, blushing.

When Yin Baicai heard Li Zhe call out to the woman sitting with her back to him, Miss Tang, she immediately remembered her. Wasn't this Tang Xiaoyan from the village? She hadn't seen her in a long time and thought that she wouldn't come back after being coldly dismissed by Li Zhe last time. She didn't expect her to come again.

Li the bully even thoughtfully brought her water, but why didn't he bring water for himself? Didn't he see that his face was sweating?

Ignoring her own slight displeasure, Yin Baicai led Li Mo over and said, "Little Mo, the bully, is thirsty. He wants to drink water."

Tang Xiaoyan saw Yin Baicai approaching, pretending she had only just noticed him, and asked, "Brother Yin, what brings you to Brother Li's house?"

When Yin Baicai heard Tang Xiaoyan's tone, as if she shouldn't have come, she thought it was ridiculous. She and Li Zhe were engaged, and she couldn't just come whenever she wanted.

Yin Baicai plopped down on the stool and said to Li Zhe, "I'm thirsty, I want to drink water."

Seeing Yin Baicai's unhappy mood, Li Zhe deliberately did not expose her, and turned back to his room to pour a bowl of water for her and Li Mo.

Although she intended to provoke the young man, she still felt sorry for him seeing the sweat on his forehead. She guessed he must have walked over quickly.

Tang Xiaoyan took small sips of the water Li Zhe had poured for her, deliberately raising her eyebrows to sized up Yin Baicai.

It seems I've taken a step forward. Brother Li is now willing to talk to me. Maybe if I spend more time with him, he might even develop feelings for me.

After all, I, Tang Xiaoyan, am the most beautiful girl in Peach Blossom Village. Just a few days ago, some villagers secretly asked my mother about me!

According to villagers, this person has a shallow pregnancy mole, which is considered unlucky. It's already difficult for a man to have children, and this shallow pregnancy mole might mean he'll never be able to have any.

My chances are great! It won't be a waste of the time I spent embroidering handkerchiefs, selling them in town, and going to the teahouse to listen to stories.

The storybook says that men like gentle and virtuous women. After a little disguise, Brother Li developed a liking for me. It seems that it was effective.

Yin Baicai didn't bother with Tang Xiaoyan. He didn't like her; after all, this girl had deliberately dug a pit for him by the river the first time they met. He didn't want to associate with someone so scheming.

Li Zhe added a little sugar to the water he brought to Yin Baicai. Yin Baicai took the bowl and gulped it down in one go, finally relieving the dryness in her mouth.

Seeing that she had made some progress today, Tang Xiaoyan thought she would leave it at that for now and come back in a couple of days. After all, as the stories say, it's not a good idea to keep pestering someone.

After Tang Xiaoyan left, Yin Baicai glanced at Li Zhe and said, "Li bully, you're so lucky. Liu Xiaoqing just left and now Tang Xiaoyan has come. I didn't realize you were so popular."

Li Zhe sensed a sour undertone in Yin Baicai's voice, concealing the smile in his eyes, and feigned indifference, "I don't understand what you're talking about, Yin."

Yin Baicai thought to herself: You might as well play dead.

Today, Yin Baicai took Li Mo to the river to see if there were any fish, but they came up empty-handed.

He was craving grilled fish and thought he might be able to catch at least one!

Seeing that it was almost noon, Yin Baicai glanced at Li Zhe, who was still chopping firewood, and went straight into the kitchen. When she saw the small bamboo basket on the stove, she became even more unhappy.

This must have been brought by Tang Xiaoyan. No wonder I saw Li Zhe seem to have received something back then.

This bully Li refused the gift last time, but now he wants it again. Men's hearts are truly unfathomable!

Yin Baicai casually cooked a few dishes, and after finishing her meal, she prepared to go home for a nap. Just as she stepped out of Li Zhe's house, she saw many villagers running towards the village center.

Yin Baicai yawned. She wanted to go see what was wrong, but she was too sleepy to go.

Li Zhe couldn't help but smile as he thought about the scene just now; it seemed like A Yin was jealous.

A quarter of an hour ago

When Yin Baicai thought about how Li Zhe had accepted Tang Xiaoyan's pastries, she deliberately didn't serve him any food. Instead, she handed him the pastries that Li Zhe had accepted, saying, "These pastries look really good. You bully Li, just eat them. Don't let Miss Tang's kindness go to waste."

Back home, Yin Baicai collapsed into bed, thinking that whatever the commotion, she would know when she woke up.
