Chapter 500 Finale (V)
"A Zhao...A Zhao..."
Chu Mu, as if possessed by a demon, suddenly stepped forward and held her body in his arms. There was panic in his eyes that she could not understand. He kept calling her name over and over again.
It was as if she couldn't believe that he would see her dead body.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? Ah Zhao, I'm back. Why didn't you come back... Why Ah Zhao..."
Chen Zhao knew that Chu Mu had returned with the memories of the month they had swapped bodies.
She also wanted to know why she died. Perhaps there was no body swap in the first place. Everything was just her inner unwillingness, her fantasy before death, and her obsession in that moment of her last breath.
But what did Chu Mu say?
At this time, the voice of Deputy General Zhang was heard outside the door.
"General, I have something important to report!"
Lieutenant General Zhang's voice was choked with sobs and endless self-blame.
When Shen Zhao saw Lieutenant General Zhang again, what came to her mind was the appearance of Lieutenant General Zhang when he died in battle to protect his brothers in the camp.
According to the past, when Deputy General Zhang came to invite Chu Mu at this time, it meant that Lin Jiaojiao was making trouble again.
But this time, Lieutenant General Zhang and Lin Jiaojiao were both disappointed, after all, Chu Mu knew their true identities.
Chu Mu's voice came from the room, carrying an indescribable chill that made people feel terrified.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Zhao imitated the tone of Deputy General Zhang's previous words and said, "General, Miss Lin is heartbroken again. Please go and check on Miss Lin..."
Lieutenant General Zhang knelt down in front of the door with a thud.
"General, I am here to apologize. Please, General and Madam, punish me."
Shen Zhao was startled, and floated above Deputy General Zhang's head, looking at him puzzledly.
This doesn't seem like Lieutenant General Zhang's style before he knew the truth.
Shen Zhao tried to get closer to Lieutenant General Zhang. What did she see? She actually saw Lieutenant General Zhang, who had never shed a tear even when he died in battle, now burst into tears, crying like a child.
At this time, Chu Mu had already dressed Shen Zhao. He held her tightly in his arms and treated her like a treasure, fearing that if he held her too hard, he would hurt her.
Chu Mu stood in front of the door holding Shen Zhao.
"Apologize? What crime are you apologizing for?"
Lieutenant General Zhang lowered his head and did not see the general holding his dead wife in his arms.
He said word by word:
"I have been deceived by the thieves and have been targeting Madam, committing many wrongdoings. I beg the General and Madam to allow me to atone for my sins."
"And General, the person who rescued you back then wasn't Lin Feihu but someone else. Lin Feihu is not dead, and the Lin family is still alive and living in Kyoto. Lin Jiaojiao is not an orphan at all. She has been supporting the Lin family, and she is not sick."
"She has always been pretending. Any conflicts she had with Madam were all framed by Lin Jiaojiao. Madam has never treated her harshly, let alone wanted to kick her out of the house."
"In the past, the general and his subordinates were blinded by Lin Jiaojiao and misunderstood Madam. I dare to ask the general to investigate and give Madam justice. Let her move out of this small courtyard. She, Gao Yi, does not deserve to be wronged like this."
"Madam, she shouldn't have been wronged to this extent..."
Chen Zhao looked at Deputy General Zhang in shock. Could it be that he had returned as well...with the memories of that month...
And he seemed to know that she had once exchanged bodies with Chu Mu.
"Look up."
As soon as Chu Mu said this, Lieutenant General Zhang immediately raised his head.
When he saw his wife in Chu Mu's arms, who had obviously been dead for a long time, his whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
"General... Madam..."
"How could this happen? All my subordinates have returned, so why would Madam..."
Lieutenant General Zhang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and did not utter the next half of his sentence. Chu Mu sighed. He also discovered that the current Lieutenant General Zhang was not Lieutenant General Zhang, but the same as him.
At this moment, a noisy sound came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Let me in. If anyone dares to stop me again, I will chop off his head."
It’s Xie Yuheng who is here.
Chen Zhao looked out of the courtyard gate. She, Chu Mu, and Deputy General Zhang all died before they could return to the present.
Hearing what Xie Yuheng said, it seemed that he had also returned. Could it be that he was dead too?
How could that be possible? When she died, they had already gained an absolute advantage and defeated the enemy.
With a loud bang, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open from the outside.
The courtyard gate, which was not strong to begin with, fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.
It was still early.
Xie Yuheng was actually wearing only his inner garments, with two different boots randomly put on his feet. With his hair disheveled and a long sword in his hand, he stood outside the courtyard gate in a daze, looking at Chu Mu who was holding Chen Zhao.
Xie Yuheng rushed in suddenly and kicked away the servant who tried to stop him.
Rushing to Chu Mu, his lips trembled as he looked at Shen Zhao in his arms, whose eyes were tightly closed and whose body had begun to stiffen and develop spots.
"What happened to her...my brother Chu...what happened to my sister Shen..."
Xie Yuheng's eyes were filled with tears, and he wanted to reach out and touch Shen Zhao, but he didn't dare.
Sister Shen was now a woman, a married woman. He could no longer stand shoulder to shoulder with Sister Shen, fighting side by side with her, as he had done in his dreams...
Chen Zhao felt very sad when he saw Xie Yuheng's current appearance.
This brat didn't even know how to put on his clothes. The first thing he did after waking up was to rush straight to the general's mansion.
"You piece of wood, why are you farting? How did my good sister Shen become like this?"
"And Sister Shen, as your legitimate wife and the mistress of the general's mansion, how could she live in such a shabby courtyard? It's not even as good as my stable. How can you be a husband!"
The corners of Xie Yuheng’s eyes were red, and tears were sliding down from the corners of his eyes. He was not stupid. Sister Shen looked like she was dead.
Why did such a good sister Shen die? He looked at everything around him and the half-worn clothes on Sister Shen, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. How miserable his sister Shen must have lived when she was a woman.
All this was thanks to Chu Mu. No wonder he disliked him so much when he was Sister Shen.
At this moment, an extremely unpleasant voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"I want to see how arrogant Shen is to make me wait for her for so long."
Shen Zhao looked outside the courtyard gate and saw that it was the old woman who came to the door.
Then came the voices of Liu and Lin Jiaojiao.
"Mother, it's all because you've been too indulgent with Shen. She doesn't even consider her current status, yet she still dares to act like a fool in our house. If it weren't for your compassion and not letting my third brother divorce her, she would have been exiled along with her corrupt father and brother."
"Sister Shen has always been arrogant and looks down on other people in the mansion because of her background. Brother Mu is too kind, so he indulges Sister Shen blindly. Poor old lady has to take the trouble to correct Sister Shen's temper."
Xie Yuheng snorted coldly at Chu Mu.
"Your old lady, your beloved sister-in-law, and your frail, sickly younger sister Jiaojiao are here to look for you."
"You blind thing, there is not a single good person in the whole mansion. I will vent my anger for Sister Shen later. If you dare to stop me, I will smash your skull!"
He knew what kind of people were in the Chu Mansion.
