On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2152 Her Identity

When Madam Ding announced, "I am Madam Ding," Governor Ding felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.

The lingering fear in his eyes suddenly froze, his pupils contracted slightly, and he was filled with astonishment.

The shock only lingered on his face for a moment before being replaced by a fierce and malevolent aura, revealing sharp teeth.

"You deserve to die!" His voice was hoarse, laced with arrogance, as if he were the one who had been wronged. "You're the one who disgraced the family and ruined its reputation, what do I have to fear?"

These words were like a red-hot needle, piercing Madam Ding's heart.

She trembled, her eyes instantly turning red as if they were about to bleed, and the hatred and grief that had been building up in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

Before Ding Hengshou could say another word, a crisp slap echoed throughout the room.

Madam Ding used all her strength to stare at Ding Hengshou. All the resentment in her eyes had faded, leaving only a bone-deep hatred. Her voice trembled slightly with extreme anger: "You are not even human. You are not even worthy of being reincarnated as an animal!"

Ding Hengshou covered his face, his cheeks burning with pain, which only fueled his anger.

He stiffened his neck, his chest heaving violently, and his breathing became heavy: "I was initially a little guilty towards you, thinking that since we were husband and wife, I should at least give you some dignity."

Since you show no remorse and still dare to come here and cause trouble, then I don't need to give you any more face!

He struggled to get up from the ground, his legs weak from the previous fear and sitting for so long, and he staggered before regaining his balance.

He turned and shouted at the door, "Someone! Someone! Get this bitch out of here! I don't want to see her!"

After shouting, he turned around abruptly, pointed at Madam Ding's nose, and said with a sinister look in his eyes: "You are really cunning. I never expected that you would fake your death to escape!"

"Very well, very well indeed! I truly underestimated your cunning!"

His shouts were particularly piercing in the quiet night, and as soon as he finished speaking, two light footsteps were heard outside the door.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walked in side by side.

Upon seeing the two, Ding Hengshou immediately pointed at Madam Ding, his voice trembling: "She! It's this woman! She's not dead!"

I didn't kill her at all. All that guilt I felt before was unnecessary, and I don't need to feel guilty anymore!

Seeing his eagerness to distance himself, Madam Ding suddenly let out a cold laugh, a laugh filled with sorrow and mockery, her eyes still frighteningly red: "You didn't kill me? Sometimes, I really wish you had killed me back then!"

"Hmph, pretentious!" Ding Hengshou waved his hand impatiently, his eyes full of disdain. "What, even now, you still want to speak up for your lover?"

"How shameless! Get out! I don't want to hear your nonsense here!"

Yan Ruyu's gaze swept between the two of them, and she asked with a half-smile, "You're saying she's your wife?"

Ding Hengshou, panting heavily, nodded emphatically, as if to prove that what he said was true: "Yes! She is my wife!"

I never expected her to still be alive, and to dare come here to slander me!

"Oh?" Yan Ruyu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement in her tone. "Since you say she's your wife, you should at least remember if she has any unique features?"

Ding Hengshou's expression stiffened slightly, and he stood there stunned, his eyes flickering as he subconsciously recalled what had happened.

After a long while, he shook his head somewhat guiltily, his voice lowering slightly: "It's been too long, I can't remember."

"Can't remember?" Madam Ding sneered again, her laughter filled with sarcasm.

She raised her left arm and gently touched the middle of her arm. A hint of pain flashed in her eyes, but then her expression hardened: "I haven't forgotten a single detail of my husband's features."

“When our son was little, he was naughty. He climbed the old locust tree in the backyard to steal birds’ nests, and he almost slipped and fell down.”

My husband rushed to save him, but when he reached out to catch him, he was scratched by a tree branch and then crushed by the weight of the child, breaking his arm on the spot.

Her fingers gently caressed her arm, her voice calm yet clear, "Right here, the bone broke. It took me six months to recover before I could barely move it, and it still aches faintly on rainy days. Was your arm ever broken?"

Ding Hengshou's face instantly turned ugly, and his breath caught in his throat as if he were being choked.

He glanced instinctively at his left arm, then quickly looked away, his eyes darting around, his voice trembling: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? Maybe you're just making it up!"

He turned to Huo Changhe and shouted urgently, "She's talking nonsense! This is all her trickery! Arrest this woman and interrogate her carefully; we'll definitely uncover her conspiracy!"

Huo Changhe looked down at him, his eyes as cold as ice, his tone completely flat: "What's the rush? Whether to interrogate or not, and who to interrogate, is none of your business."

Ding Hengshou was rendered speechless by his words, his anger rising to his face, but he dared not be presumptuous any longer.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Yan Ruyu's smile deepened: "Don't rush to defend yourself. I do have a witness who can prove who is telling the truth and who is lying."

Ding Hengshou's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope. He hurriedly asked, "Who? Let him out! I want to see him. I want him to prove how this woman has twisted the truth!"

Yan Ruyu didn't answer directly, but turned and called out to the courtyard outside the door in a clear voice: "Are you ready?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Zhenhai's voice came from the courtyard: "Ready!"

A burst of light lit up the courtyard, with countless torches illuminating the entire area as if it were daytime.

Yan Ruyu turned to Ding Hengshou and said, "Let's go to the courtyard and take a look. The truth will come out naturally."

Ding Hengshou was filled with suspicion, wanting to prove his innocence while also feeling vaguely uneasy.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and walked out the door.

The firelight outside was bright, and the air was filled with a faint smell of smoke and fire, mixed with a faint fishy odor.

As he reached the doorway, he instinctively stopped and looked up at the center of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, torches formed a circle, and in the center of the flames lay a corpse wrapped in oilcloth.

The corpse lay quietly on the bluestone slab, its outline still faintly visible.

Governor Ding's eyes widened suddenly, his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he dared not take another step.

Madam Ding looked at the corpse and burst into tears. She staggered over and collapsed beside the body.

Tears streamed down her face, and her voice choked with sobs.

"Husband..."
