The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

While waiting in the courtyard, Li Zhe got bored and practiced with the sword he had brought from home.

This was given to him by his master, General Cheng.

He brought the sword specifically because he planned to use it when he captured Yu Ming, one of the leaders of the Five Stone Powder gang lurking in Yuyang County.

Yu Ming, known as "Yu the Great Snake," is a cunning old fox. I chased him all the way from Qingning County to Yuyang County, and then he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It's said that this person has a protective umbrella behind him, but I haven't yet found out which force is involved.

Jiang Su and his companions had already secretly gone to follow Yang Hu, the porter.

When Lin Xing returned, he only saw Li Zhe practicing swordsmanship. The sound of him pushing the door open startled Li Zhe.

Li Zhe stopped what he was doing. "You're back so soon? Did you find out?"

"Yes, boss, I've found out."

"It is said that a while ago a young man with a thin build and a sickly appearance came to the gambling den. This young man was very skilled at gambling and won every single time."

Li Zhe immediately recognized that the person Lin Xing was describing was Yin Baicai, no wonder the gambling den had taken notice of her.

So this guy was there to cause trouble!

But Lin Xing's next words sent chills down Li Zhe's spine.

Lin Xing continued, "Later, it is said that this pretty boy came again. This time, he deliberately lost a few times, and even the people in the gambling house were fooled by his tricks."

Li Zhe gripped his sword tightly, thinking to himself: This disobedient young man, I just said last time that if he goes to the gambling den again, I'll break his legs.

Unexpectedly, he secretly went to the gambling den again. Does he even realize how dangerous it is for a young man like him to disguise himself and go to such a chaotic place?

Moreover, the gambling den was also secretly investigating his whereabouts.

If I hadn't promptly instructed Lin Xing and the others to hide, they probably would have been discovered long ago!

I'll definitely give him a good warning when I get back, otherwise, if something happens to him and I'm not there in time...

Lin Xing watched as Li Zhe exuded a chilling aura after hearing his words.

A chill ran down my spine. What's wrong with the boss? It feels like someone is about to suffer.

Li Zhe replied in a cool voice, "Yes, I understand."

He then sheathed his sword and sat alone at the table, lost in thought.

Yin Baicai, far away in Peach Blossom Village, suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, as if she were being watched.

Looking up at the blazing sun, she chuckled to herself: "Nonsense, scaring yourself like that. How could that be? I, Yin Baicai, possess a powerful spiritual core."

With a beaming smile, he brought out the cooked mung bean soup and added the ice cubes that Li Zhe had crushed that morning.

Li Mo, who was playing with his little ball in the yard, watched with curiosity as Yin Baicai added the ice cubes.

"Mom, you like salty mung bean soup, but Momo likes sweet mung bean soup."

Seeing that Li Mo mistook ice for salt, Yin Baicai laughed and said, "Little Mo, this isn't salt, it's a cooling treasure!"

Li Mo put down the ball in his hand, moved closer, and felt a chill.

"Mom, it's so cool and refreshing."

"Yes, this is an ice cube."

Yin Baicai ladled a bowl of mung bean soup with ice cubes for Li Mo: "Try it, it's very refreshing."

Li Mo took a small sip from the small bowl: "Delicious, and it's ice-cold."

Yin Baicai carried the mung bean soup with ice to the door: "Mo Xiaogui, could you bring me the bowl on the table?"

When Ge Tian and the others who were working saw Yin Baicai bring over the mung bean soup, they all laughed and said, "Brother Cai, it's really great that you've given us extra work. The food is plentiful, and there's even mung bean soup to drink!"

"Alright, everyone come and try my mung bean soup, it's something else."

Several people wondered: Could it be that sugar was added?

After receiving the mung bean soup from Yin Baicai, Ge Tian and the others took a sip.

His eyes lit up, and he finished the bowl in one gulp, laughing loudly, "Brother Cai, how did you do that? This mung bean soup is just like ice blocks under the eaves in winter, so cool and refreshing. We used to secretly taste ice blocks when we were kids!"

"Yes, ice cubes feel icy cold in winter, but drinking them on a hot day really helps to cool you down!"

"Yes, Brother Cai, have another bowl."

"That's right, I added ice." Yin Baicai said with a smug look on her face.

Ge Tian was the eldest among them, so he naturally knew that in the summer, only wealthy families in the town could afford to buy ice.

"Brother Cai, you've spent money again, even buying ice. Don't worry about the house, we'll do our best to fix it up properly."

Yin Baicai knew he had misunderstood, but she didn't explain.

They can't know yet that they made the ice themselves.

Since her personality was different from the original owner's, it had already attracted the attention of the villagers, and she couldn't afford to attract any more attention.

"Alright, everyone, drink up! There's still half a pot left!"

After they finished drinking, they went back to work.

Tang Xiaoyan, who was washing clothes by the river, had just stood up when she saw Yin Baicai chatting and laughing with the village men who were repairing his house.

She said disdainfully, "Shameless! How dare you laugh and joke with a man? How could you be worthy of my beloved Li Zhe?"

"How could Brother Li Zhe agree to get engaged to a fickle and shameless man like you? It's infuriating!"

Tang Xiaoyan, carrying a wooden basin of clothes, looked at Yin Baicai, who was some distance away from her, and stomped her feet in anger.

“You rascal, you jinx, you’re even living at my brother Li Zhe’s house.”

Tang Xiaoyan saw Li Mo happily following behind Yin Baicai.

"And that little mute following behind, he's become Brother Li Zhe's burden, yet he's still so close to the shrew."

Yin Baicai sensed that someone was watching her, and with an unfriendly gaze.

When I turned around, all I saw were villagers squatting by the river washing clothes.

I couldn't help but wonder if I was imagining things.

That's too sensitive. I'm not a social media influencer anymore. There aren't any haters secretly following me here!

The moment Yin Baicai turned her head, Tang Xiaoyan quickly squatted down. Her best friend Zhou Yu asked, "Xiaoyan, weren't you done washing up and about to leave? Why did you squat down again?"

"Oh, I was thinking of squatting down and washing my cuffs again because they weren't clean enough."

Tang Xiaoyan was terrified: Luckily, she squatted down. Why would this jinx look in her direction?

Now is not the time for him to know of my existence. I will secretly sow discord between him and Brother Li Zhe until their engagement is dissolved.

Then I'll take the opportunity to go to Brother Li Zhe's side, and maybe Brother Li Zhe will be very moved.

She might just fall in love with him. As for that troublemaker, he probably won't have the face to stay in Peach Blossom Village any longer!

It's getting dark.

Li Mo stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, looking in the direction of the town.

Looking at Li Zhe's figure, who had not yet appeared, Yin Baicai thought to herself: I'll wait a little longer; maybe Li the bully is on his way.

Even after Li Mo kept yawning, Li Zhe still didn't appear.

Yin Baicai said to Li Mo, who was extremely sleepy, "Little Mo, come and wash up quickly. Your uncle probably won't be back today."

"Mom, where did Uncle go?" Li Mo asked, her eyelids drooping.

“Your uncle went to town, so I’ll sleep with you tonight.”

"Okay, I want to sleep with Mother."

After Yin Baicai finished washing up Li Mo and carried him to bed, Li Mo was already asleep.

What on earth is that bully Li doing? Why hasn't he come back yet?

Could he have gone off to do something dangerous? I hope he doesn't die, or my reputation as a jinx will only be cemented.

Li Zhe, who had disguised himself in the courtyard, sneezed: Could it be that someone is talking about me? It must be Xiao Mo.

Lin Xing, standing to the side, asked, "Boss, why don't you let me go? It's easy for your identity to be discovered if you go like this."

Li Zhe put on a fake beard and drew thick eyebrows, making him look like a bandit leader with the scars on his face.

"Go ahead, you guys keep an eye on that runaway passenger."
