The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

No one cared about the disappearance of Liu Da and his companions; it was just a matter of the city losing a few beggars.

It's freezing cold; they might have frozen to death somewhere.

Hu Nu'er pushed open a dilapidated wooden door under the cover of night, and someone was already waiting for him inside.

An old carpenter with a hunched back said to Hu Nu'er as she entered the room, "Find a way to sneak into the General's mansion. The master said..."

Hu Nu'er became very gloomy after killing Liu Da and the others.

After hearing the old carpenter's words, he decided to find an opportunity to infiltrate the general's mansion and cooperate with Wali's army to take down the Northern Region City in one fell swoop. At that time, all these Yan people would become prisoners.

Light snow was falling outside the window, and Yin Baicai was preparing to cook a hot pot for everyone.

Li Zhe cut the already prepared chicken into pieces, while Shen Jin stood aside assisting Yin Baicai.

Even Cheng Yu, who lived not far away, was called in.

Seeing that Shen Jin looked unwell, Yin Baicai said worriedly, "Brother Shen, have you caught a cold? Why don't you ask Uncle He to add another brazier to your room?"

Shen Jin refused him, "No need, I'm fine, I just feel weak all over. It's probably due to the climate in the northern region, I'll be fine in a couple of days."

Cheng Yu was adding firewood when he overheard Yin Baicai's conversation. He glanced at Shen Jin, whose face looked sickly. He felt that Shen Jin had become much thinner than when he first arrived.

Yin Baicai was about to stir-fry the chicken in a pan when she poured the chicken fat into the pan to render the oil. The strong smell of oil made Shen Jin rush out the door.

He ran outside, leaned against a pillar, and dry heaved.

Cheng Yu, who was right behind him, saw this scene and stood behind him, bowing and patting his back.

Shen Jin was so focused on gagging that she thought the person next to her was Yin Baicai. After she finished vomiting, she turned around and saw Cheng Yu staring at her with a cold expression.

"Thank you." Shen Jin walked past, but Cheng Yu grabbed her wrist.

Without a doubt, he said, "Come, let's go see a doctor."

Shen Jin felt an awkwardness about being alone with him, so she immediately refused, "No, I'm fine."

Cheng Yu didn't give him a chance to react and forcefully pulled him away.

He had been staying in the military camp for the past few days and naturally had no time to take care of Shen Jin. When he met her today, he saw that she was so ill and insisted that the doctor cure her.

He gripped Shen Jin's wrist tightly, mounted the horse brought by a servant, and headed straight for the clinic.

When Yin Baicai came out with a spatula in her hand, the two had already left.

Seeing Li Zhe carrying firewood from the woodshed, Yin Baicai called out, "Brother Li, come quickly and check the fire. Xiao Yu took Brother Jin to the clinic. I can't manage by myself."

Shen Jin struggled all the way, but Cheng Yu's attitude was tough, and he directly pressed Shen Jin's pressure points.

Unable to move, Shen Jin could only glare at him silently in protest.

Cheng Yu jumped off his horse first and carried Shen Jin down from it.

"Let him take a look," he said to the old doctor with the goatee.

The old doctor lifted Shen Jin's wrist, and after a moment, he looked at Shen Jin again. It turned out that this handsome and dashing young man was actually a boy. The old doctor thought he had misread the pulse.

"This husband is over a month pregnant, but judging from his pulse..."

The old doctor's words exploded in their ears; they only heard the word "pregnant".

The two stared at each other in astonishment. Even Cheng Yu, who was usually composed, could no longer contain himself and turned his gaze to Shen Jin's stomach.

Having practiced medicine for many years, the old doctor had naturally seen many such scenes and imparted a great deal of knowledge about pregnant men to Cheng Yu.

Shen Jin's face turned bright red after her acupoints were pressed. How could she possibly be pregnant? Her pregnancy mole was light in color, and a doctor had told her before that she would have a hard time getting pregnant in her life. Could this white-bearded old man in front of her be a quack?

While Shen Jin was still doubting him, Cheng Yu had already regained his composure and was listening carefully to the old doctor's instructions.

After releasing Shen Jin's pressure points, Cheng Yu tightened his grip on his wrist.

As soon as he stepped out of the clinic, he promised, "I will immediately write a letter to the Shen family in the prefectural city to propose marriage, and we will get married as soon as the war is over."

Upon hearing Cheng Yu's words, Shen Jin was so shocked that her mouth dropped open. What on earth was going on?

She hadn't even recovered from the bombshell news of her pregnancy when the icy-faced man brought up marriage proposals again.

Before Shen Jin could react, Cheng Yu carefully lifted the dazed person onto the horse, then mounted himself, sat behind her, and pulled Shen Jin into his arms. "From now on, you'll live at the Cheng residence. I'll have someone take care of you..."

Shen Jin had never heard Cheng Yu say so much before. As if she had been possessed, she turned to look at him in confusion.

Despite Cheng Yu's seemingly casual remarks, he was actually quite flustered inside.

His relationship with Shen Jin began by a twist of fate. At first, he only brought Shen Jin to the Northern Region with the intention of revenge, but he didn't know when he had come to care about this playboy.

Could this be the fate my mother spoke of? From the initial anger when I found out he had drugged me to the current concern I feel now, perhaps it was all preordained.

Cheng Yu did not ride as fast as he had come; instead, he rode his horse slowly.

Even Shen Jin couldn't stand the slow pace anymore. "Can you hurry up? Little Cabbage is waiting for us to go back and have hot pot!"

“No, the doctor said your health is the most important thing,” Cheng Yu said calmly.

Shen Jin rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. When did this sullen, icy-faced guy become so considerate? It seems she's really lucky to have this little bundle of flesh in her belly.

When he first captured me, he wanted nothing more than to toss me to death on horseback, but now he knows how to be gentle.

When the two rushed back to the general's mansion, Yin Baicai's chicken hotpot was already bubbling on the small stove.

The aroma made Shen Jin's stomach rumble as soon as he stepped through the door, and he couldn't wait to rush into the house. When Cheng Yu saw his actions, his heart jumped into his throat.

Does this woman not know she's pregnant? The doctor said she should be careful and avoid any strenuous activity, especially during the first three months.

He strode forward and grabbed Shen Jin's wrist, saying, "Be careful." His gaze fell on Shen Jin's stomach.

Shen Jin then slowed down. Why was she suddenly becoming so delicate? But for the sake of the baby in her belly, she should take it easy!

"Brother Shen, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you. By the way, are you alright?"

When Yin Baicai asked about his health, Shen Jin's expression froze. He didn't know how to start the conversation. Because of his little trick, he had ended up in a mess and even got pregnant.

Shen Jin was about to say it was nothing when Cheng Yu immediately chimed in, "He's pregnant."

These words startled Yin Baicai and Li Zhe, and even Li Zhe, who was scooping rice, trembled.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Shen Jin's stomach, and even Shen Jin, who was usually so unreliable, felt embarrassed now.

Using his wide sleeves to shield himself from Yin Baicai's blatant stares, he said, "Eat, eat, why are you all staring at me?"

With this bombshell news, who had any appetite? Li Zhe said to Cheng Yu, who was standing next to Shen Jin, "Come with me to the study."

Cheng Yu nodded; he also had something he wanted to discuss with his brother.

After the two left, Yin Baicai immediately came forward, wanting to reach out and touch Shen Jin's belly, but then shrank back in fear.

Seeing this, Shen Jin directly pulled his hand and placed it on his stomach, "Go ahead and touch it, it's just a lump of flesh anyway."

Yin Baicai's mouth dropped open. Good heavens, this was the second time she had seen a pregnant man. She had seen Liu Xiaoqing's belly once before in Peach Blossom Village, and this time she not only saw it but also touched it.

"Was it the same trick you used when I drugged you last time?"

Shen Jin looked like she was about to cry, and nodded helplessly.

"What should I do?"

Shen Jin shrugged: "Just do it."
