Married to a Wild Huntsman - Episode 2

In a chaotic village square, a bereaved mother accuses the widow of adultery with Freddie, who recently returned from the army, and threatens to sell her. The widow begs Freddie to save her, claiming she's being sold to a brothel; villagers shame them, dredging up Freddie's absence and calling him a freak. Pressure mounts as elders warn the scandal will ruin the village. The crowd escalates from threats to action and demands the chapel be opened for a public punishment, shouting 'Cage drowning!' As they prepare the sentence, the widow's fate—and whether Freddie will stop it—remains unresolved.
