The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

With his face swollen and blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth, Wanfu huddled into a ball and hid in the corner of the woodshed.

Muttering to himself, "Young Master... please don't blame me, I don't want to join the army... I really, really don't want to..."

He nodded and trembled, as if he were insane.

After Yin Baicai was found, the officers and soldiers who had been searching the city withdrew.

next day

Li Zhe waited in the room for Yin Baicai to wake up.

The effects of the drug had worn off, and Yin Baicai slowly woke up. Opening her eyes, she called out in a hoarse voice, "Water..."

Li Zhe noticed he was awake immediately, and when he heard him ask for water, he got up and poured him a cup of tea.

"Ah Yin, come on, drink slowly."

Yin Baicai drank the water in the teacup from Li Zhe's hand before she felt herself come to her senses.

“Li the bully, I remember I was drugged yesterday. By the way, where is Xiao Zhao?” Yin Baicai asked the servant in the manor who drove his carriage yesterday.

"Ah Yi, listen to me slowly, you are..."

After Li Zhe finished speaking, Yin Baicai looked dejected. She had no grudge against Wan Rui. All she had done was make a scene at his mansion last time, and he was so petty as to send people to arrest her. She had thought he was some elegant and noble young master, but he was nothing special.

And he actually dared to kill Xiao Zhao; a gentleman will not leave this grudge unavenged.

Yin Baicai was furious. "I'm going to take revenge on that bully Li myself. Don't interfere. That bastard Wan Rui dared to harm me, so I'll make him pay for it!"

Seeing this, Li Zhe nodded, "Okay, just tell me if you need anything."

A rumbling sound from their stomachs reached their ears.

"Ah Yin, let's eat first. You've been starving all day. We can talk about the rest after we eat."

Li Mo was worried about Yin Baicai and woke up early.

Gently nudging the sleeping Shen Jin, she asked, "Uncle Jin, has Mother returned yet?"

Sensing the movement beside her, Shen Jin opened her eyes and turned to look at Li Mo's pitiful little face. "You're back. I'll take you to see him right away."

After helping Li Mo put on his coat, Shen Jin led him towards Yin Baicai's courtyard, where they happened to find Yin Baicai eating.

Upon seeing Yin Baicai, Li Mo ran over in a flash and hugged his legs, "Mom, where have you been? Mo Mo has been waiting for you all day!"

Yin Baicai looked at the tears welling up in Li Mo's eyes, seeing his pitiful and aggrieved appearance. She put down her chopsticks and hugged him. "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, aren't I? Li Xiaomo, what did I say? A real man shouldn't shed tears."

Feeling embarrassed for crying in front of everyone, Li Mo hid in Yin Baicai's arms, saying, "Mo Mo didn't cry."

“Yes, yes, she didn’t cry. Li Xiaomo wouldn’t cry!” Yin Baicai looked at the shy little devil and pursed her lips in agreement.

After the group finished breakfast, Cheng Yu came over and told them what he had found out.

Before long, the two men who had kidnapped Yin Baicai were brought to the General's Mansion.

Yin Baicai recognized the two men at a glance. Although they were dressed as woodcutters, she was furious when she saw them. These two bastards were the ones who killed Xiao Zhao.

Since arriving in Beiyu City, Xiao Zhao has been driving my carriage. How could I not be angry that someone I knew had died because of me?

Yin Baicai rushed up and kicked the two of them, saying, "You dare to kill my people? You're asking for death."

Having been in this strange world for so long, although he knew that human life was cheap here, Xiao Zhao's death was indirectly caused by him. Yin Baicai said that he was punishing the two of them, but it was more like he was venting his own emotions.

The three people standing behind him, Li Zhe and his companion, had been silently caring for Yin Baicai.

Although Yin Baicai seemed the same as always, they could see a trace of guilt in her eyes.

After he had vented his anger, Li Zhe pulled Yin Baicai, who was slumped on the ground, into his arms.

"Ah Yin, Xiao Zhao's death is not your fault."

The usually cheerful and carefree Yin Baicai leaned into Li Zhe's arms and murmured, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't made a scene at the Wan residence that day, perhaps Xiao Zhao wouldn't have died."

Li Zhe knew that none of this was Yin Baicai's fault; if anyone was to blame, it was the person behind the scenes.

She had never had any contact with Wan Rui, so how could he have fallen for her and even dared to set his sights on A Yin? She blamed herself for being careless and not sending enough people to protect A Yin, which led her to fall into Wan Rui's trap.

The Tian brothers, who were beaten to the point of near death by Yin Baicai, finally began to regret their actions.

They were originally engaged in murder and robbery, and thought that Yin Baicai was just a wild boy brought back by General Li. Who would have thought that they had offended the big boss and provoked someone they shouldn't have?

Wan Rui was excited all night yesterday and didn't go to sleep until dawn.

When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and the charcoal in the brazier in the room had long since burned out.

Snowflakes drifted down outside the window. Wan Rui, who had just woken up from the cold, pulled the covers tighter around himself and shouted, "Wan Fu, where the hell have you been? The charcoal fire's all burned out, aren't you going to add more? Are you trying to freeze me to death?"

After a long silence, Wan Rui assumed Wan Fu was hiding in the room being lazy, so he had no choice but to get up, wrapped in his blanket, and put on the thick rabbit fur shoes he had been wearing.

Arriving at Wanfu Gate, he kicked the door open and roared, "Are you deaf? This young master is calling you!"

The room was deserted; Wanfu was nowhere to be seen.

Thinking that the person must have gone to the kitchen to bring him breakfast, he turned around and went back to his own room.

After staying up all night, he waited in bed until he drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Yin Baicai standing in front of her with a cold expression.

“Young Master Jian, what are you doing in my mansion? Shouldn’t you be…” he blurted out, pointing at Yin Baicai.

Yin Baicai sneered, "It should be...where, Tingyao? You might as well take a look at where you are first."

How did this scoundrel know what he was going to say?

Wan Rui then looked around at his surroundings. There was a pile of firewood around him, and he was lying on the cold floor.

"You scoundrel, where did you bring me? Let me tell you, my father is the richest merchant in Northern Region City. You'd better let me go right now, or you'll be sorry."

Yin Baicai squatted down, staring intently at Wan Rui. He looked quite respectable, but she never expected him to be such a treacherous and wicked person.

“So what if he’s a wealthy merchant? My man is a renowned and valiant general of the Yan Kingdom.”

Li Zhe handed over the handling of Wan Rui's affairs entirely to Yin Baicai, and had already returned to his camp to deal with military matters.

Otherwise, if he heard someone say that, he would probably be so happy that he wouldn't know what to do.

Hearing Yin Baicai call Li Zhe his man, Wan Rui was so angry that he said fiercely, "You shameless bastard, you're talking nonsense. You don't deserve General Li. You have no shame."

The bitter tone in Wan Rui's voice made Yin Baicai understand his reason for targeting her.
