Chapter 346 Aren't you afraid General Li will just chop you up?
"Anuan, let me help you carry it?" Li Rong followed, trying to take the things from Jiang Nuanzhi's hands.
Halfway through his sentence, Jiang Nuanzhi stopped and her sharp gaze swept over him. Li Rong swallowed hard and immediately stood up straight.
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi stuffed everything she was holding into his arms. Then, she opened her front door and went inside.
"Lock the door."
"Hey." Li Rong responded, and was momentarily stunned when he saw the gate, which was even taller than him. The gate was heavy and made of iron, and it was very sturdy. Li Rong fumbled around for a while before figuring out how to close it. After closing the gate, he turned around and the entire two-story house came into view.
This house was built differently from ordinary houses. Li Rong glanced at it and saw that the windows were even emitting a crystal-clear seven-colored light amidst the white snow. He could even vaguely see the figures inside the house from outside.
The thick snow covered most of the yard, clearing two paths through it. The yard was more comfortable than he had imagined. High walls surrounded the house, making it almost impossible to see what was happening inside from the outside, providing excellent privacy. The walls were made of brick and stone, with patterns on them, making them exceptionally sturdy and beautiful.
He had seen the blueprints, but seeing the actual object now still left him speechless for a long time.
As he approached the house and was about to speak, he heard a loud bang as Jiang Nuanzhi slammed the door shut in front of him.
Li Rong touched his nose: "Anuan, I'm still outside."
Immediately afterwards, a cold voice came from inside the room: "You, and Xiaoli! You two go outside and reflect on your actions. Think it through before you come back in."
Li Rong froze, staring blankly at Xiao Li behind him, who was wandering around aimlessly instead of staying properly in the stable.
For some reason, he could see a strange sense of guilt on Xiaoli's face. She even obediently went back to the stable and walked into the middle of the herd, perking up her ears and sneaking a peek in his direction.
Li Rong: "..."
At this moment, in the row of side rooms on the left, eleven heads were all peering out the window.
That's right, it was Ping'er and the ten soldiers who returned with Li Rong.
The group of people stared in disbelief: "Was the person who was just scolded a general?"
"It seems so."
Zhang Xiaohu swallowed hard: "I only knew that Dr. Jiang was very gentle, I didn't expect her to have this side to her."
“You used to say I was afraid of my wife. Look, isn’t the General the same? Hehehe, I guess I’m just like the General.”
Everyone: "."
Pshaw, what's so great about that?
“You unmarried men wouldn’t understand.”
The older soldier, feigning profound wisdom, said, "No matter who you are, you have to behave yourself in front of your own wife, or you'll suffer the consequences."
The crowd looked at each other, clearly disbelieving.
Seeing this, everyone was worried for the general, but they also understood who really held the power in this household. Of course, they were also relieved that they hadn't returned with the general; otherwise, they might have been locked out too, without hot rice tea and snacks.
"Hey, guess when Doctor Jiang will let the General in?"
"A quarter of an hour?"
I guess 35 minutes!
"I guess half an hour..."
“I bet you’re in for some bad luck.” The last sentence was spoken by Ping’er. He smiled at the group and said, “Uncles, why don’t you look out the window?”
The group turned to look, only to see Li Rong staring at them with a cold expression. Immediately, screams and cries erupted from all around.
"Father, Father!"
Li Rong's attention was drawn to his daughter's soft, sweet voice.
Too lazy to deal with those brats, I immediately looked up.
A small window on the second floor opened, revealing an extremely beautiful baby face.
When Baozhu saw her father, she waved her short little arms vigorously. After half a year apart, Baozhu had been raised by Jiang Nuanzhi into a chubby, fair-skinned little dumpling: "Daddy, you're back! Baozhu missed you so much."
Li Rong's expression softened slightly, and he cleared his throat: "Father misses you too. Be good, Baozhu, go and plead with your father to calm your mother down and open the door for him first."
Baozhu blinked her bright eyes twice: "No, Daddy. Brother said that Daddy made Mommy angry and is being punished. I can't side with Daddy."
After thinking for a moment, she threw something down from above.
Li Rong instinctively caught it, and then heard Xiao Baozhu say, "Daddy, Baozhu is giving you a cushion. You have to be good and reflect on your actions. Mommy will give you a chance later, so don't say anything wrong."
Li Rong looked at the cushion in his hand, secretly hugged the hand warmer that Jiang Nuanzhi had just given him, and fell into deep thought.
...
"Excuse me, ma'am, where does Dr. Jiang live?"
Aunt Liu squatted in her cowshed, looking at the little mule with increasing delight, as if she couldn't get enough of it. She was busy fetching dry straw and adding water, just as she noticed a stranger approaching her door.
With a few more men in the village, Aunt Liu was less wary, especially when she saw these distinguished-looking men dressed in fine clothes. She smiled and said, "Oh my, how come this young man is so handsome? Has he come to our poor, remote village to seek medical treatment?"
Chi Heng smiled gently and nodded slightly, saying, "This sister has a discerning eye; I love hearing such honest words."
As she spoke, Chi Heng tossed over a silver ingot: "This is for you to buy tea, sister."
Aunt Liu was stunned as she held the book in her hands: "Young master, why are you being so polite? Look, that tallest house over there is Doctor Jiang's house. She's home right now, so it's perfect for you to go there later."
"Thank you for your trouble." Chi Heng smiled and then led the people over there.
After the person left, Aunt Liu couldn't help but take a bite of the silver coin: "Hey, really. Where did this money-splurging boy come from? Did that girl Jiang Pangya get incredibly lucky?"
It has to be said that at this moment, Liu Ma felt that she was really lucky to be from the same village as Jiang Pangya.
"Master, Master! Wait a minute, are we really going in?"
As they approached the door, Sun Wu looked at the beautiful, gleaming house, but avoided it like the plague, and couldn't help but grab his master.
Chi Heng's beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: "You idiot, what are you doing? Let go now!"
"Master! Aren't you afraid that General Li will just chop you up?" Sun Wuzhi practically wanted to wear his guilty conscience on his face.
These words infuriated Chi Heng. He glared at her for a long while before saying, "Why would he cut me? I... I'm his brother who's been through thick and thin with him. Besides, I'm innocent and have nothing to hide!"
