The Bully General's Spiritual Husband
Chapter 165 Jealousy Without Realizing It
Now that the matter at the Huang residence has come to an end, Lin Xing no longer needs to go there to pretend.
He had a beggar on the street deliver a letter to the Huang family, instructing him to give it to Steward Huang, and that was the end of it.
When Huang Nian received Lin Xing's letter, he felt a pang of regret. Why did this kid quit? He was even planning to give him a raise!
It was thanks to him inviting Physician Zhang that the cause of the master's death could not be determined.
Just then, Huang Lianxi came over and asked her a question, and Huang Nian put aside his feelings.
"Uncle Nian, come and take a look. Is my calculation correct?" Huang Lianxi held up a thick ledger.
Since arranging her father's funeral, she has devoted herself to managing the affairs of the household, and gradually she has forgotten about Lin Zhao.
Huang Nian took the ledger she handed him. "Miss, you made a mistake here. Please take another look."
The dark clouds that had been hanging over the Huang residence had gradually dissipated, and Huang Nian looked with satisfaction at Huang Lianxi, who was carefully calculating the accounts.
Master, rest assured, this old servant will definitely help Miss manage the Huang residence well.
Cheng Yu escorted Shen Jin to the entrance of the gambling den, his brows furrowed as he looked at the noisy place. Why wasn't this playboy going home? Did he want to go in and gamble again?
Shen Jin: "I've arrived. Thank you for bringing me back."
Li Hao, who was guarding the gate, saw the injured Shen Jin and rushed over: "Master, what happened to you? Brother Li, Master is injured."
His shout woke up Shen Li, who was lying on the chair.
Shen Li rushed over and helped Shen Jin up. "What happened, Master? Who did this? I'll teach them a lesson!"
Shen Jin: "Let's go inside and talk about it."
Turning to Cheng Yu, she said, "Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
Cheng Yu naturally didn't miss Li Hao's cry of "Master," realizing that this playboy was actually the owner of the gambling den.
They either frequent brothels or run gambling dens, just like the spoiled brats of the Northern Region City.
Cheng Yu's goodwill towards Shen Jin plummeted; he loathed these rich kids who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Now that the person has been delivered as instructed by my brother, there is no need for further contact.
He was just a stranger.
Cheng Yu did not reply, but turned and left with a cold face.
Shen Jin was completely baffled. What was wrong with this icy face? Why was it even colder than before?
Shen Jin shrank his neck, ignoring it, "Shen Li, help me inside. Haozi, quickly go find a doctor for me, it hurts so much."
Shen Jin returned to her room, and Shen Li asked with a blank face, "Master, was it the Jin family who did it?"
Shen Jin lowered his eyes and thought carefully. That group of people came for his life, which was not like the Jin family's style. But if Jin Dameng knew that he had injured his son, he might hire someone to kill him.
"Shen Li, you should investigate this matter secretly and see if the assassination attempt on me is related to the Jin family. If it is, I, Shen Jin, will definitely skin the Jin family alive."
Shen Jin was not a kind person to begin with; otherwise, in such a large mansion, he would have been devoured by Wen Xin long ago, leaving not even a bone fragment.
Just as Li Zhe arrived at Yin Baicai's house in his oxcart, Li Mo, who was helping Grandma Wu with chores in the yard, heard the noise, put down the garlic he was holding, and hurried outside.
"It's Uncle coming back," Momo heard the car.
Zhou Wen, who was peeling garlic with him, watched Li Mo run out the door and called after him, "Little Mo Mo, Brother Cai and the others won't be back for a while! What are you doing going out?"
Ignoring Zhou Wen's calls behind her, Li Mo pushed open the courtyard gate with her short legs, "Uncle, Niu Niu."
Li Zhe looked at Li Mo who had come to greet him, jumped off the oxcart and picked him up, "Mo Mo, I'm back."
Li Zhe didn't see Yin Baicai come out to greet him, assuming he was busy!
He put Li Mo down from his arms and drove the oxcart back to his own home.
Li Mo's face was flushed, and she followed behind Li Zhe with a smile.
Li Zhe put the cattle in the livestock shed, closed the gate, and led Li Mo over.
Looking up, I saw Zhou Wen working in the yard. I was stunned for a moment. Who is this kid? What is he doing at A Yin's house?
Upon seeing the tall and imposing Li Zhe, Zhou Wen suddenly stood up and called out, "Brother Li Zhe."
Li Zhe nodded. Hearing the noise from the kitchen, he thought it was Yin Baicai cooking inside. Just as he was about to go in to check, he saw Grandma Wu come out carrying vegetables to be washed.
Seeing Li Zhe in the courtyard, he called out to him, "Zhe boy, you're back?"
Li Zhe nodded, "Grandma Wu."
What's going on? Isn't A-Yin home? Why is Grandma Wu cooking at A-Yin's house?
Li Zhe had many questions in his mind.
Li Zhe took the wooden basin containing the vegetables from Grandma Wu's hands. "I'll wash them! By the way, where did A-Yin go?"
Grandma Wu told Li Zhe about Yin Baicai and the others making charcoal on the mountain.
After washing the vegetables, Li Zhe prepared to go up the mountain to take a look.
He'd only been gone for a little over ten days, how come A-Yin was already leading Uncle Maoshan and the others to start making charcoal?
He had been thinking that he would help him with the Five Stone Powder after he finished dealing with the matter, but who would have thought that capturing Yu Ming would trigger a series of events.
Tang Xiaoyan, who was sewing winter clothes in the house, heard the sound of the cow mooing and knew that Li Zhe had returned.
In the entire Peach Blossom Village, only Li Zhe's family owns cattle.
In a moment of distraction, the thin needle in my hand pricked my finger, and a drop of blood appeared.
She quickly put her finger in her mouth. It was Brother Li who had returned. Where had he been? She had gone to his house several times, but she hadn't seen him.
Their front door was always locked, and even Li Mo, that little bundle of joy, always stayed at Yin Baicai's house.
The villagers were spreading rumors that Brother Li was unhappy with Yin Baicai flirting with a strange man and left in anger.
Tang Xiaoyan and the others, whose fingers had stopped bleeding after being pricked, looked at themselves in the brass mirror in the room.
He tucked the stray hairs from his forehead behind his ear before leaving the house, satisfied.
Li Zhe was stopped by Tang Xiaoyan as soon as he reached the center of the village.
Tang Xiaoyan asked shyly and gently, "Brother Li, where have you been all this time?"
Li Zhe had no desire to talk to her in the first place. He had invited her into his home last time just to provoke A Yin. Why was this woman stopping him again?
As Yin Baicai hurried down the mountain, she spotted Li Zhe talking to Tang Xiaoyan from a distance, and a hint of displeasure flashed through her mind.
You scoundrel Li, you've been away from home for over ten days without a word, and the moment you get back you're chatting with Tang Xiaoyan.
Li Zhe simply walked past Tang Xiaoyan, who was blocking his way, saying, "This is none of your business."
Tang Xiaoyan paused, wondering what Brother Li meant. He had been fine just a few days ago, so why was he speaking to her so coldly now?
Li Zhe looked up and saw Yin Baicai puffing up her cheeks, and quickly went to greet her, "Ah Yin, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Baicai shoved him away.
They hurried forward with their heads down.
Li Zhe looked at Zhang Cui and the others who rushed over behind Yin Baicai, puzzled.
Zhang Cui smiled and said, "Li Er, you're back. We have help again."
Li Zhe didn't know why Yin Baicai was unhappy. He nodded to Zhang Cui and the other two, then turned and chased after Yin Baicai.
As Zhang Cui walked past Tang Xiaoyan, she couldn't help but glance at her again.
Because Tang Xiaoyan was glaring fiercely at Yin Baicai's departing figure.
Walking ahead, Yin Baicai grew angrier and angrier. "I was worried you might have died out there, you bastard! You come back and immediately come looking for your little peach blossom!"
She was furious; the angrier she got, the faster Yin Baicai walked.
Li Zhe, who was chasing from behind, finally caught up with the man at his doorstep after using all his strength.
He grabbed Yin Baicai's wrist and said, "Ah Yin, I'm back."
Ignoring her own annoyance, Yin Baicai shook off his hand. "You're back, so what? Do you expect me to come and greet you?"
Li Zhe looked down at his hand that had been flung away, his gaze sharpening.
He scooped Yin Baicai up in his arms, pushed open the gate to his courtyard, and strode toward the house.
