The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 96: Using someone else's identity and taking over their wife?
Without Yu Tingwan urging him, Old Ge quickly stepped forward and sat down directly at the head of the bed.

He checked her pulse for a while, his brows furrowing deeply.

Remembering what Yu Tingwan had just said, Old Ge temporarily put aside his thoughts and reached out to pull open Wei Zhao's clothes to check his injuries.

It is indeed red and swollen.

I'm afraid it will start to ooze pus in a few days.

It is evident that the person who treated his wounds earlier did not do so properly, and the rotten flesh was not completely removed.

Frequent changes of medication in the later stages were of little use.

His face darkened; he had no idea how much suffering the general had endured these past few days.

They've all lost weight!!!
"The wound needs to be treated,"

But it's obviously too dark here, so it's not suitable.

Yu Tingwan was about to ask how to handle it, but before she could speak, Old Ge threw down those words and strode out.

Just as the girl was wondering what was going on, Wei Zhao's voice came from inside the room.

"It's very simple."

Wei Zhao said in a light tone: "It's just cutting open the wound, scraping away the flesh, forcing out the blood, and then re-bandaging and applying medicine."

This will help it heal faster.

If he weren't weak and unable to wield a knife, he would have already made his move.

He made it sound simple, but Yu Tingwan frowned.

"That must be so painful and agonizing."

Wei Shen would act coquettishly if she pinched him even slightly.

Her face was already pale, and now she needs help to walk. If she has to undergo surgery again, it's hard to know when she will recover.

Old Ge had intended to have Rong Di retrieve a luminous pearl. However, after leaving the house, he couldn't find Rong Di and didn't know where he had gone.

That's absolutely unreliable!

He scoffed at Yu Tingwan's words, "How could he be afraid of pain?"

When he was shot with an arrow, before he could even get some datura to relieve the pain, Wei Zhao pulled it out himself!
Thick, black blood spurted out, which terrified Old Ge.

【"poisonous!"】

A cold glint flashed in Wei Zhao's eyes. His consciousness was already fading, and he spoke haltingly: ["Help me quickly. My...treasured...porcelain...was...broken...and..."]

"Give back what?"

"...I didn't teach Fu Meng a lesson."

Before Wei Zhao completely fainted, he managed to utter one last sentence: "It's finished."

Thinking of this, Old Ge sneered.

"Even if you dislocate his arm, this madman won't even blink."

I'm afraid they'll complain that the unloading process is not precise enough and too slow.

His tone was overly familiar.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tingwan hesitated: "Does the doctor know my husband?"

Old Ge was about to nod.

Wei Zhao said slowly, "I don't know him."

Mr. Ge: ? ? ?

Why would you rush to find someone you don't even know?

Yu Tingwan's eyes flickered slightly, and she temporarily put aside her doubts and stopped dwelling on it. She found all the prescriptions she had written before.

"This is the prescription I took before. It was okay at first, nothing too serious, but nothing too bad either. But after I changed a few ingredients, it started to act up. My wound would reopen after taking it once, and it kept reopening, I don't know how many times. I also started vomiting blood more frequently, so I stopped taking it."

Old Ge glanced at it and sensed something was wrong.

He stared intently at the revised prescription at the back.

The ingenious prescription, which could so precisely target the wrong symptoms and even hasten death, was so clever that even he had to exclaim in admiration. It was clearly Wei Zhao's skill!

It's no wonder your wound will reopen after eating it!
He's lucky to have survived this long.

But the pulse just now...

Something occurred to him, and he asked, "Did you perform bloodletting and acupuncture?"

Wei Zhao replied calmly, "Mm."

Mr. Ge fell into deep thought.

They brought him over, but didn't reveal a single thing to anyone else.

No, do you want to die or not?

A moment of deathly silence fell over the room.

Only occasionally could one hear the cawing of crows outside.

Old Ge first put aside his chaotic thoughts; the wound needed to be treated, and the second set of acupuncture techniques needed to be applied.

Can't delay any longer.

When Hui Niang returned with the wontons, Yu Tingwan was already waiting at the door of the cubicle. The girl raised her index finger to her lips and made a soft gesture to Hui Niang. Hui Niang's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, asking in a low voice, "Is the doctor inside?"

"I just finished bandaging the wound, and now I'm giving my husband acupuncture."

They also complained that it was too dark inside, so they asked her to find a way to put a lot of candles inside.

Hui Niang: "Why did you come out?"

Aren't you going to help out inside?
It's good for handing things over.

Yu Tingwan: ...

She wants it too!

But Wei Zhao asked her to come out.

She could see inside even when the wound was being treated!

Although it was terrifying to watch.

If it weren't for the blood and gore, and the splattering of blood, Old Ge's deft and skillful slicing of flesh with the dagger would have been a truly delightful sight.

It's even easier than Yu Tingwan chopping vegetables.

It's as if I've done it a thousand times before.

The bandage was applied neatly.

Old Man Qian from Xilin Village is simply incomparable.

Just as they were about to administer the acupuncture, Wei Zhao asked her to come out.

The girl was very dissatisfied: "I just can't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Zhao interrupted, "No."

He suppressed the urge to cough: "Acupuncture requires the whole body, it's inconvenient for you to be here."

What could Yu Tingwan do? She could only look back every few steps. As she stepped out the door, she still heard Old Ge's sarcastic remark.

"Why is it inconvenient? I'm not afraid she'll learn it. Be more generous, she's already calling you 'husband,' why won't you let her see it!"

Absolutely right!!!

The lights were on inside, but it was pitch black outside.

The tension that had been building up over the past few days suddenly eased, and Yu Tingwan felt at ease, a smile blooming on her lips.

She explained to Hui Niang, "There's nothing I can do. My husband feels ashamed of himself and can't be honest with me."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Inside the room, Old Ge opened his medicine box, took out a cloth bag, and pushed it aside.

There are hundreds of silver needles of varying lengths inside.

"You sent Rong Di out on an errand?"

Without waiting for a response, he began to mutter to himself.

"I guess so."

If Wei Zhao hadn't given the order, someone like Rong Di would have stayed by the side and wouldn't have left even for a moment.

He said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Our men will be able to carry the coffin to Ze County by tomorrow morning. If we don't stop them and they are picked up by people coming from the capital, even if there are hidden reasons, the general will still be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

Master Ge dipped each silver needle in a special medicinal powder, heated it over a candle until it was red-hot, and then inserted it directly into the acupoints.

Wei Zhao's face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. Although he was in excruciating pain, he endured it without uttering a sound.

"No."

Old Ge: "Huh?"

Wei Zhao closed his eyes briefly: "He's looking for a suitable hospital to recuperate in."

Mr. Ge: ?
recuperate?

Aren't you going back to Beijing to recuperate?
Wei Zhao suddenly realized something: "My current identity is Wei Shen from Xilin Village."

"what?"

Wei Zhao smirked: "Wouldn't it be interesting to let those people think I'm dead and watch their stupid and ugly behavior?"

Old Ge: ...

Has she gone mad again?

But he grasped the key points.

"That...that girl up ahead..."

Wei Zhao said softly, "She didn't wear a woman's hairstyle."

Old Ge: "No..."

He was stunned: "So, General, you were using someone else's identity and yet you took someone else's wife?"

Wei Zhao frowned.

What does "someone else's" mean?
Yu Tingwan has taken advantage of him so much.

That's really hard to hear!
