271 So, How Many Husbands Do You Have?
“I can discern my man’s voice!”
The woman’s expression froze for a moment, but she quickly raised her head and glared at Lin Suisui as she argued, “Madam, you have a husband too. Can’t you recognize your own husband’s voice?”
“Since you can recognize your husband’s voice, you must be able to tell what he looks like as well!” Lin Suisui wasn’t anxious. She just stared at the woman quietly. Without waiting for the woman to speak, she turned to look at the pink-robed woman who wanted to hide when she saw Lin Suisui come out. Her tone was still gentle as she said, “You said that you mentioned the patient you saw here to your sister-in-law. When she heard that, she knew that he was this woman’s husband and happened to know that this woman was looking for her husband’s whereabouts, so she sent a message to her and asked her to come over to look for him, right?!”
“Yes, yes.” The woman tried her best to retreat, but how could Lin Suisui give her a chance to retreat?
She only turned to look at the county governor and suggested, “In that case, separate these two people and let them describe their appearance. Then, let’s hire an artist to draw them!”
When the woman heard Lin Suisui’s words, she panicked on the spot and hurriedly rejected, “Of course I know my own husband. There’s no need to go through so much trouble!
I just need to go in and acknowledge him!
“I don’t want anything else. As long as I can bring my man back, I won’t pursue anything else! Madam, please be magnanimous and let us, a small family, survive!”
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, the woman quickly changed her tone. She was no longer as domineering she was previously. She fell to the ground and cried pitifully in front of Lin Suisui and County Governor Tang.
Actually, no one knew what was going on here. When they heard the argument between the few people here, most of them naturally stood on the side of the relatively weaker-looking woman.
The discussion didn’t change Lin Suisui’s decision. Her attitude was still gentle, but there was an unquestionable toughness in it. “The people here are all my patients!
Since they were handed over to me, I have to be responsible for their safety!
Of course, it would be better if they were rational enough to argue, but their minds have yet to recover. If I have to hand them over to you just because of your words, if you’re not the wife of the person inside but a wicked person with malicious intentions, how am I going to answer to their true family?!
Everyone is watching, so you don’t have to worry about me doing anything to you and this woman!
It’s just a simple portrait. If you confirm that one of the patients inside is your husband, you can take him away. However, if he’s not your husband, I definitely won’t hand him over to you!”
Lin Suisui’s explanation was very reasonable, so the surrounding commoners, who were originally standing on the woman’s side, instantly changed their attitude and began to agree with Lin Suisui.
The woman wanted to object, but County Governor Tang, who had always been observant and tactful, naturally wouldn’t go against Lin Suisui right under Lu Ze’s nose.
Of course, to be honest, County Governor Tang also felt that Lin Suisui’s suggestion was really brilliant!
With a wave of his hand, the two people who were still clamoring were brought away to the side.
The painters County Governor Tang had found were naturally experienced. In less than ten minutes, they had already asked and drawn what needed to be drawn.
At this moment, when they announced what the two of them had said and the portrait, everyone was in an uproar.
“Madam, you said that you guessed that your husband was in this courtyard based on this woman’s words, but the appearance described by this woman is completely different from your own description of your husband!
According to what you said previously, it’s impossible for you to have misheard your husband’s scream. In that case, you must remember your husband’s appearance clearly as well!
So, how many husbands do you have?”
As soon as Lin Suisui said this, everyone laughed.
The woman was pushed to the ground and her face was very pale. She knew that she had no way out. Amidst her desperation, she raised her head and cried, “Madam, how can slander me like this?!
My husband’s fate is unknown, and my mother-in-law fainted from crying a few times because of this! I had no choice but to look for information everywhere. Even if my sister provided me with some false information, I had to come over and give it a try for my husband’s sake!
Is this wrong?!”
“From what you’re saying, your family doesn’t live in the suburbs of Cloud Mountain City, right?” Lin Suisui wasn’t anxious. She just looked at the woman and smiled as she continued to ask her nicely.
For a moment, the woman didn’t understand what Lin Suisui meant. She only thought that this was a good opportunity to gain sympathy, so she nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, it will take at least two days to travel to Cloud Mountain City!
“Women are slower, so it took us three days to reach Cloud Mountain City.”
As soon as she spoke, the women accompanying her nodded repeatedly and complained.
Lin Suisui chuckled and slowly turned around. Then, she smiled at the surrounding commoners as she explained, “I’m not sure about anything else yet, but I’m sure of at least one thing!
“This group of people, or at least, this woman in front of us, is lying!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to deny it. You just said that it took three days to arrive at Cloud Mountain City. Then how long will it take for the news in this city to reach your ears?!
As for your husband’s whereabouts, how long will it take for this news to reach you and for you to send messages to Cloud Mountain City to ask for help?!
It should have taken at least ten days, right?
However, these patients had only been sent to me for a few days. Aren’t you too well-informed?!
Especially this woman who sent you the letter. She had only left me for a few days. How did she send you this news? Could it be that she sent you the letter in her dream?!
“Your lies are really full of loopholes!” As Lin Suisui spoke, she had already turned to look at County Governor Tang, who was standing at the side. “When these patients were sent over by Mr. Pei back then, he said that some military matters were involved! But these people want to bring them away by pretending to be their families. It’s obvious that there’s something fishy going on. Mr. Tang, I’m afraid we have to hand this matter over to the Imperial City’s government office to investigate. What do you think?”
