When he arrived, Dr. Li and his entourage had just returned from being paraded through the streets, their bodies covered in rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, reeking of foul odors.

After Fang Xing'an pressed Doctor Li for answers, his anger flared even more.

He only learned the truth about his mother's death today.

It turns out that her mother did not die of illness, but rather that Zhou ordered Doctor Li to poison her, and the poison accumulated over time and eventually killed her.

The reason Zhou killed her mother was because she didn't want the marriages her mother had arranged for her children.

Fang Xing'an's temples throbbed, and he wished he could rush to Zhou Shi immediately and strangle this vicious woman.

It's just a marriage proposal, what can't be discussed? Why does it have to cost the mother her life!

This wicked woman keeps saying she loves him, but this is how she treats him.

She killed his mother and then took over her household management without a second thought, becoming the mistress of the Fang family. How could this wicked woman be so cruel?

He kills people without batting an eye, let alone his own mother!

After leaving Shuntian Prefecture, Fang Xing'an stormed back to the Fang residence. The first thing he did upon arriving was to confront Zhou Shi.

However, Zhou fainted, and the doctors in the manor tried to revive her for a long time but were unable to do so.

Seeing the unconscious Zhou Shi, Fang Xing'an barely managed to suppress his anger and refrain from pulling her off the bed.

He was wary of the Zhou family. If the Zhou family found out that he had injured Zhou Shi, that burly family might break his bones.

However, although Fang Xing'an could not touch Zhou Shi, he could touch her people.

As for Zhou, we'll settle accounts with her when she wakes up.

The person Fang Xing'an sought out was Li Mama, Zhou's most trusted confidante.

Not only that, but they also found out that Li's mother and Dr. Li were distant relatives.

Back then, Dr. Li was recommended to Zhou by Dr. Li's mother, but unfortunately, Fang Xing'an only found out about this secret now.

Fang Xing'an beat Li Mama with a board, one lash after another, hoping to get some information out of her. However, Li Mama turned out to be much harder to get information out of than Doctor Li.

Dr. Li kicked her a few times to scare her, and then quickly revealed what had happened. But Li's mother gritted her teeth and refused to say a word, only repeatedly shouting that she was innocent.

Given Lord He's matter and the commotion within the manor, Old Master Fang finally took action.

Old ginger is spicier. As soon as Grandpa Fang made his move, Li Mama confessed everything, saying things she should and shouldn't have said.

As a result, Li's mother revealed many things that shocked both Grandpa Fang and his son Fang Xing'an.

It turns out that Zhou had done more than just killing Old Madam Fang over the years.

The twin boys that my aunt was pregnant with were poisoned by Zhou, and the babies died just like that.

The reason why Fang Runzhi, the second son born to the second concubine, was stupid was because something was tampered with during his childbirth.

Furthermore, some families, using the name of the Ke family, refuse to acknowledge that Fang Runting and Fang Qingyou, both descendants of the Fang family, were also the work of the Zhou family.

Fang Runtin's leg injury, the time he almost became crippled after breaking his leg, and Fang Qingyou's near-drowning when she was forced into marriage were all part of Zhou's wicked scheme.

The Zhou family murdered the Fang family's offspring. If the twins had been born safely, and if they weren't stupid, and if Fang Runtin and Fang Qingyou had grown up in the Fang family, they wouldn't be so distant and cold towards their family.

Perhaps, with the Fang family now having many descendants, the situation would be quite different.

Perhaps the Fang family is now living a life of endless wealth and luxury.

At this moment, Fang Xing'an was filled with regret, regretting marrying Zhou, this viper who had done so many evil deeds.

If he had another chance, he would definitely not marry Zhou.

Upon learning of these events, Fang Xing'an angrily wrote a letter of divorce and, disregarding the fact that Zhou was still unconscious, threw it in her face.

They were just waiting for Zhou to wake up so they could kick her out of the mansion.

Old Master Fang did not stop Fang Xing'an. The people Zhou had harmed were either his wife or his grandchildren. How could he not hate her?

If it weren't for the Zhou family behind Zhou Shi and the fact that Zhou Shi held an imperial title, he would have had Fang Xing'an throw the person out of the mansion directly.

Even if the Zhou family doesn't fall, the Fang family can no longer have a matriarch like Zhou.

Putting everything else aside, if these grandchildren are to continue being taught by Zhou, then the Fang family will be ruined.

If the Zhou family falls this time, then don't blame him for being ruthless and heartless.

Upon learning these things, Fang Qingyou's lips curled into a bright smile.

She had always wanted to get rid of Zhou Shi and Li Mama, but she never expected it to happen so smoothly.

She was looking for an opportunity to expose the truth about Doctor Li and Zhou's plot to murder Old Madam Fang, but she never expected that Doctor Li would commit a crime and be exposed to everyone's attention, leaving her with no way to hide.

Everything was going so smoothly that she couldn't help but wonder if it was the will of heaven.

If Heaven could hear Fang Qingyou's inner thoughts, it would surely say that this was not its doing.

The person who truly helped Fang Qingyou was Luo Qianmo; he was the one secretly pulling the strings.

That night, Zhou was finally revived.

Not long after waking up, Zhou saw the letter of divorce lying beside her and learned what had happened in the past, and fainted again.

Although Fang Xing'an had treated her coldly before, he still ordered someone to treat her.

But after she fainted this time, not only was she unable to find a doctor, but she also had no one to take care of her.

Fang Qingman and Fang Runhui both wanted to visit Zhou Shi, but Fang Xing'an ordered them to be taken back and locked in a room.

As for Fang Qingwei, she didn't even ask about Zhou Shi. In fact, Fang Qingwei was still grieving being rejected by Gu Jinyi. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night, and was indifferent to everything. She was completely unaware of Zhou Shi's miserable situation.

Another night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next day was a terrifying one.

Before dawn, a large contingent of troops stationed in Beijing stormed into the He family mansion, arrested everyone, and imprisoned the entire residence. The mansion was also sealed off and its contents confiscated.

In just one night, that enormous mansion lost its former wealth and prosperity.

This incident caused an uproar during the morning court session that day.

It only took a day for Lord He to go from being impeached by the censor to being punished.

This is definitely one of the fastest cases to reach a conclusion in history, and the person presiding over the trial was none other than the current emperor.

What shocked everyone even more was that, in addition to Lord He, Lord Ma and Lord Song's crimes were also determined, and they suffered almost the same fate as Lord He.

However, Lord He was executed immediately, while Lord Ma and Lord Song were only stripped of their official titles.

In addition, Emperor Mingde personally arrested several court officials who had committed offenses, and the charges against them were all true.

One of them was Zhou's elder brother, General Zhou.
