The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Shen Jin wondered curiously, "Where did that scarred face go with that expression?"

But it doesn't matter, I'm not here to see him anyway, as long as Xiaobaicai is home.

Before long, Shen Jin arrived at Peach Blossom Village. Looking at the stone tablet standing at the entrance of the village, he called out to the driver, "Alright, let's stop here!"

The coachman stopped the carriage, and Shen Jin jumped down, waving to the coachman, "Go back now!"

The coachman didn't seem to mind that he'd come at a loss; this richly dressed young nobleman had given him quite a bit of money. But why would this man come to this small village? It was really strange; it would be so much better to stay in town. Why come to this poor village? Was he just looking for trouble?

After the driver left, Shen Jin looked at the two large brick and tile houses standing side by side in front of her. Where exactly did Xiaobaicai live? Maybe she should ask someone in the village.

Shen Jin stood at the village entrance for a while but didn't see a single villager passing by. Just as she was about to knock on the door of the nearest brick house, Yin Baicai happened to open the door with a small basket on her back.

Looking up, I saw Shen Jin, dressed in luxurious clothes and smiling.

Yin Baicai's eyes darted around. This bully Li had gone to town, so she had helped him harvest his crops. Now she had another helper. That was really good.

Yin Baicai smiled and pulled Shen Jin into her home, saying, "Why are you here? Come on, change your clothes."

Completely bewildered, Shen Jin was pulled away by Yin Baicai. "Little Baicai, you don't need to be so enthusiastic."

After Yin Baicai pulled him into the room and found him a set of coarse cloth clothes, Shen Jin finally came to his senses. "Change...what clothes?"

Yin Baicai smiled and said, "Put it on quickly, I'll take you to see the world."

Shen Jin, clutching the clothes in her arms, said, "See...see what world?"

Yin Baicai smiled maliciously, "Put it on, you'll see when you get there."

Shen Jin put down the fan in her hand and was about to change her clothes when she saw Yin Baicai staring blankly at her.

She teased him, "Little cabbage, look at me, a grown man, changing clothes! Aren't you ashamed?"

Yin Baicai pouted, "A grown man? You're kidding me. I figured it out a long time ago. We're the same."

Shen Jin's eyes widened in surprise. "What? You found out? When did you find out?"

Yin Baicai: "When you came to buy ice!"

Shen Jin really didn't expect that Yin Baicai would know he was a boy so early on. It seems that he wasn't the only one who was smart!

This little cabbage is quite cunning; even after finding out, she quietly cooperated with her performance.

Shen Jin quickly changed into the clothes Yin Baicai had given him. The two were about the same size, so Shen Jin's clothes fit him perfectly.

Shen Jin didn't mind wearing Yin Baicai's clothes. In the past, when he wanted to sneak out of the mansion to play, he often swapped clothes with Shen Xiaoman.

However, he grew taller later, and Shen Xiaoman's clothes, which were short and stout, became much too short for him.

Thinking of Shen Xiaoman, Shen Jin wondered if her father had punished that little tagalong who had been following her around for so long.

Shen Xiaoman, who was in the Shen residence, couldn't help but sneeze. "Achoo! Who's cursing your Grandpa Man? If I find out, I'll skin you alive!"

The servant who was looking after Shen Xiaoman shouted at him, "Brother Xiaoman, are you still slacking off? If you don't finish washing the dishes later, there won't be any food left."

"Stop talking nonsense and come help me swipe."

Shen Xiaoman looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. "Young master, you don't know that while you're having fun, I, Xiaoman, have to clean the chamber pot here."

Because Shen Xiaoman failed to keep a close watch on Shen Jin and allowed him to escape, she was punished by the Shen family steward and made to clean the chamber pot.

He also kept the information to himself, and led the servants of his mansion to search the entire city but could not find any trace of Shen Jin.

Shen Jin looked at Li Mo, who was reading in the courtyard, and sat down next to him to tease him: "Oh, little rascal, you can even read! That's amazing."

Li Mo pouted and ignored Shen Jin. This handsome but naughty older brother was here to steal her mother, and Mo Mo didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Mom just took him to the room, but as soon as he arrived, she ignored Momo and was unhappy.

Yin Baicai pulled a small basket from the storage room and handed it to Shen Jin. "Come on, let's go see the world. We're going to do some manual labor. As the saying goes, one should develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically..."

Yin Baicai talked on and on, and Shen Jin, seeing the small basket in front of her, followed Yin Baicai's example and put it on her back.

Yin Baicai thought she was really good at talking, and actually managed to persuade Shen Jin, this young master, to work for her.

Yin Baicai locked the door and said to Li Mo in the yard, "Li Xiaomo, you stay home and behave yourself. We're going to do some work."

Fortunately, Li Zhe's land wasn't far away, and the two arrived in no time. Yin Baicai had never picked corn before, but even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had at least seen pigs run! She then glanced at how the villagers did it and began to imitate them in a serious manner.

She got the hang of it in no time. Watching Yin Baicai's movements, Shen Jin pointed to the corn in the field and asked, "Is this what you mean by seeing the world?"

Yin Baicai nodded, "Brother, what are you waiting for? Get moving, this is a great way to strengthen your body."

Shen Jin, the son of the prefectural governor, had never done such rough work before, but he wasn't picky about it. After all, he had learned martial arts from his master.

He can endure that kind of hardship, so this little ear of corn is no problem for him.

Besides, he still had something to ask Yin Baicai! He came to Peach Blossom Village to hide from his family's guards. If he did well, he might be able to stay in Peach Blossom Village for a few more days.

Shen Jingang learned it after just a few glances, and before long, both of their baskets were full.

Yin Baicai told him to pile the corn that the two of them tore together first, and then Guangsuan could carry it back later.

Shen Jin was handsome and efficient at her work, so the women and men in the village kept glancing at Yin Baicai and her group.

They all whispered among themselves, trying to find out Shen Jin's identity.

Tang Xiaoyan was called to the fields early this morning by her mother, and she was extremely unhappy. She was planning to deliver the new pastries she had learned to make to Brother Li!

Seeing Yin Baicai tearing corn in Li Zhe's field with a strange man, she stomped her feet in anger. "You little devil, you're flirting with a strange man. How shameless!"

I heard that Brother Li drove his oxcart to town early this morning. When he finds out, you're in for a world of trouble.

It would be best if Brother Li broke off the engagement with you in a fit of anger. Someone as unscrupulous as you is not worthy of Brother Li at all.

Yin Baicai watched as Shen Jin smiled at the village women like a peacock, struggling to suppress her laughter.

I must say, Shen Jin's face is truly handsome, neither the rugged good looks of a man nor the gentleness of a woman. It possesses a beauty that defies easy categorization as male or female.

The young wives and girls who met Shen Jin's gaze blushed and looked away.

Shen Jin raised an eyebrow at Yin Baicai with an air of arrogance.

Yin Baicai finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, you're really popular, you peacock... hahaha."

Seeing Yin Baicai laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, Shen Jin asked curiously, "What does 'peacock flower' mean?"

Yin Baicai shook her head, "It's better if you don't know. Alright, get to work, I'll make you a big meal tonight."

When Shen Jin heard Yin Baicai mention a big meal, he immediately remembered that the signature dishes of Hongxi Restaurant, which he frequented, were all made by Yin Baicai.

He was really looking forward to this feast!
