The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Jin Mao realized he had messed things up as it got dark and the men he had sent out hadn't returned.

Who is that scarred man? We sent so many men, but we couldn't deal with him.

Logically speaking, this person should be considered quite prominent in Qingshui Town.

Perhaps I should send someone to investigate his background.

Huang Lianxi, who had just arrived at Yu Ming's house, walked lightly to the front door.

Lin Xing is now a guard in the Huang family mansion, so the task of knocking on the door naturally falls to him.

Fortunately, Yu Ming had already returned from Li Jiang's place.

Hearing the knock, he went to open the door and saw three people standing in front of it.

"I was unaware of Miss Huang's visit; I have failed to greet you properly."

Huang Lianxi's delicate face flushed slightly. "Young Master Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. I came to ask if you have written down my father's prescription."

Yu Ming invited the person inside, and Huang Lianxi had her personal maid, Xiaoju, hand Yu Ming the pastries she had made.

"Young Master Lin, these are some snacks I made in my spare time. Please have a taste."

Looking at the face that resembled his deceased wife, Yu Ming couldn't bring himself to refuse and could only accept the gift.

From the moment Lin Xing stepped into Yu Ming's courtyard, he would secretly observe Yu Ming from time to time. He felt that this person was extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Moreover, this person's appearance was something he had never seen before, but his aura was very familiar.

Yu Ming rarely showed his true face in public, so even though he had fought with Lin Xing and the others in Qingning County, they wouldn't recognize him.

Under Huang Lianxi's expectant gaze, Yu Ming took out the tempting pastries from the food box and took a small bite. His eyes suddenly widened in surprise. They were delicious, and he was lost in his memories of the past.

When Xiaorou was alive, she would always make him her specialty desserts, and his longing for his deceased wife grew stronger and stronger.

Huang Lianxi's hand holding the teacup trembled tightly as she stared intently at Yu Ming, wondering if Young Master Lin liked the pastries she had made.

I got up very early to make this myself, and I didn't even send it to my father. I made up a lame excuse to come see Young Master Lin.

The room fell silent for a moment, except for the sounds of Yu Ming chewing on his snacks and Huang Lianxi sipping her tea.

On the way back to the village, Yin Baicai was asking Li Zhe about his past.

"Who's your master, Li the bully? Weren't you conscripted and sent to the battlefield?"

Li Zhe felt that it wouldn't hurt to tell Yin Baicai now, since she was already the person he had chosen in his heart.

"master……"

From Li Zhe's rambling words, Yin Baicai sensed a lot of Li Zhe's hardships, and at the same time, she felt a lot of sorrow in her heart.

When Li Zhe went to the battlefield, he was so young that, in modern terms, he would be in middle school. He had witnessed the bloody scenes of dying on the battlefield from a young age.

These must have been incredibly difficult days for a teenager, but thankfully, Li Zhe met someone who was kind to him.

Unable to offer any words of comfort, Yin Baicai patted Li Zhe on the shoulder, "Li the bully, we'll wait for you to come back. Let's go sweep Master's grave together!"

When Li Zhe heard Yin Baicai say this, his eyes lit up. Yin was talking about his master. Did that mean that he cared about him even more?

Li Zhe knew he couldn't make any promises to Yin Baicai right now, but he would definitely express his feelings after dealing with the matters in Qingshui Town. "Okay, let's go together."

Realizing what she had said, Yin Baicai felt embarrassed under Li Zhe's gaze, lowered her head, and pretended to be very busy, "Alright... you should hurry on your way, I'm hungry."

"Momo is hungry too, right!"

Li Mo looked at Yin Baicai and Li Zhe with confusion. When Yin Baicai asked him, he nodded, "Mo Mo is hungry too."

Li Zhe swung the bullwhip in his hand even more vigorously.

The three of them rode in an oxcart, heading towards a small village in the distance as dusk fell.

Just as she arrived at the village entrance, Yin Baicai met an unexpected person.

Liu Xiaoqing's abdomen was slightly protruding, which was quite obvious even though she was wearing a loose robe.

Yin Baicai was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she had ever seen a pregnant man in this era, even though she had been here for so long.

For Yin Baicai, this was like watching a bombshell. No way! Even though she had accepted the special setting of "brother", seeing the man with a bulging belly was really shocking!

Liu Xiaoqing had been married to Lu the butcher from the next village for a long time. This time, he came back to visit his mother. Just as he was about to leave, he met Yin Baicai and her two companions.

Liu Xiaoqing felt that Yin Baicai's gaze was particularly strange, and that he kept focusing on her stomach.

Is this guy crazy? Doesn't he also get pregnant? What's so interesting about it?

Liu Xiaoqing couldn't resist her old sharp tongue, "Yin Baicai, what are you looking at? When you get married, won't you be just like me?"

Upon seeing Liu Xiaoqing again, Yin Baicai recognized his familiar tone. Sure enough, even though he was about to become a father, Liu Xiaoqing was still the same. His mouth was so foul. Wasn't he afraid of corrupting the son in his belly?

If Liu Xiaoqing were to give birth to a smaller, more sarcastic version of herself, Yin Baicai couldn't help but laugh out loud just thinking about it.

"Hahaha……"

Since becoming pregnant, Liu Xiaoqing's temper has grown increasingly worse. Hearing Yin Baicai make fun of her, she pouted and said, "Lu idiot, look at him, he's actually laughing at me. Quick, help me hold him back, I'm going to tear his mouth off."

Lu Yun, who was standing behind him, helped him up, saying, "Qing-ge'er, don't be angry."

He glanced at Yin Baicai and Li Zhe embarrassedly. After all, his little husband had become more temperamental since he got pregnant, and with his round belly, he always felt that others were laughing at him.

When Yin Baicai realized that Liu Xiaoqing had misunderstood him, he quickly stopped laughing. He had just been imagining the scene of the two Liu Xiaoqings, one big and one small, exchanging sharp words, and he had not made fun of Liu Xiaoqing's big belly.

"Don't be angry, I wasn't making fun of you."

Liu Xiaoqing snorted coldly, "Hmph..."

Lu Yun helped him prepare to go back. As they passed Yin Baicai, Liu Xiaoqing whispered, "I'm sorry about what happened before."

Even though the voice was very soft, Yin Baicai still heard it.

Aside from being willful, Liu Xiaoqing is not bad compared to the others in the village. Besides, he didn't cause any real harm to the original owner or himself, did he?

Just treat him like a villager whose name you know; you don't see each other often anyway.

As Yin Baicai watched Liu Xiaoqing and Lu Yun walk away, he gradually understood that the source of Liu Xiaoqing's hostility towards the original owner must be that the villagers always compared the two of them, which caused the rift between them.

Yin Baicai also learned from the original owner's memories that when he was a child, only Liu Xiaoqing was willing to play with him in the village. After all, the two were about the same age and were always bullied by other children from the village.

Looking at Liu Xiaoqing, who had found a good home, Yin Baicai thought, "This little dwarf has finally stopped being blind and has taken off his 800-meter filter for Tian Wenyan."

Li Zhe's gaze was also drawn to Liu Xiaoqing's protruding belly. He glanced at Yin Baicai's belly with a dark look in his eyes, thinking, "If only Ah Yin looked like that..."

As Yin Baicai led Li Mo through the door, she saw Li Zhe still staring at Liu Xiaoqing and said unhappily, "What? She's already showing her pregnancy, and you still haven't gotten over it?"

Li Zhe: "No... Ah Yin, listen to me, I didn't..."

Yin Baicai walked quickly ahead, "I won't listen, after all, Liu Xiaoqing is your little fanboy!"

Li Zhe didn't know what "little fanboy" meant, but he knew that Yin Baicai was jealous.

Li Zhe's hearty laughter rang out behind Yin Baicai.
