Chapter 458: Dramatic Twists and Turns
Translator: Lonelytree
Zhu Yuhuan had been on guard against Lin Yuelan ever since she appeared.
When she heard Lin Yuelan suddenly call out her name, her first reaction was to agree. She replied, “of course, he’s my husband.”
Lin Yuelan sneered, “Are you sure that this is really your husband and that you didn’t create a corpse to pretend to be your husband and bring it here to ruin the reputation of Lin’s medicine shop and mine?”
When the woman and the others heard Lin Yuelan’s words, they were startled and even more apprehensive.
How did she know?!!
“You’re talking nonsense.” Zhu Yuhuan argued.
Lin Yuelan sneered again, “But I happened to meet another woman who was looking for a husband on my way here. The woman told me that her husband went to Guping town to invite the golden phoenix troupe to perform for her. However, four days have passed, and there was no news of her husband, so she quickly came out to look for him.”
As she spoke, Lin Yuelan’s clear and sharp eyes looked into the distance.
Everyone followed her gaze and saw a haggard woman slowly walking over. Her eyes were fixed on the dark corpse, full of disbelief.
When she was halfway there, she suddenly screamed, “husband, husband!” She would be able to recognize her husband even if he had turned into ashes, not to mention that he was only charred black now.
Then, she ran to the body.
Almost no one could react to this.
What exactly was this?
Why did this man’s corpse have another wife?
Could it be that he had two wives?
This woman’s appearance immediately made the scene very dramatic, making the audience who were watching and listening confused.
The woman in mourning clothes accused Lin’s medicine hall of harming people and using sorcery to control people. Then Lin Yuelan appeared to say that the woman was just an actress putting on an act. Finally, a woman suddenly appeared and called the male corpse her husband.
What was the truth behind all these twists and turns?
When Zhu Yuhuan heard the woman call the corpse her husband, she instantly felt that their actions had been in vain. Not only that, but they might also even get themselves killed.
She gave the others a look, and the two men who were fine immediately understood what they had to do.
One of the skinny men immediately pushed the woman away and shouted, “what’s wrong with you, woman? You’re calling a random corpse your husband. Are you out of your mind? Move aside, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we have to carry our big brother’s body back. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to my big brother if he were to rot under the sun.”
“No, no, this is my husband.” the woman hugged the body tightly and shouted in despair, “my husband doesn’t even know you. Who are you?”
Zhu Yuhuan immediately stepped forward and pushed the woman away. She hugged the dead man and roared at the woman, “What’s wrong with you, woman? He’s clearly my husband, so how could he be your husband? Don’t randomly acknowledge someone as your husband. Get lost, you lunatic.”
After being pushed away, the woman immediately became agitated. she madly pulled at the corpse and yelled, “Hubby, hubby, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”
It was obvious that this woman’s emotions were completely off.
It was obvious that she had suffered a huge blow and was unwilling to accept reality.
However, which of these two women was the real wife of this corpse?
