However, after arriving, Fang Xing'an didn't even glance at Zhou Shi, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground.

As soon as Zhou's carriage started moving, Fang Xing'an immediately returned to his residence, as if trying to avoid something he couldn't stand, his eyes filled with disgust.

On the carriage, Zhou saw this scene and her eyes welled up with tears, her heart feeling as if it had been crushed hundreds of times by a stone.

Fang Qingyou, however, waved to Zhou Shi with a smile and said, "Aunt Zhou, take care, see you another day!"

Zhou's eyes suddenly reddened, and she stared intently at Fang Qingyou until Li Mama lowered the carriage curtain, at which point her gaze disappeared from Fang Qingyou's sight.

Fang Qingyou finally stopped smiling; she had been laughing so hard her face hurt.

However, she did indeed need to meet with the Zhou family again.

Zhou's punishment has only just begun, and I will naturally go to see her when it ends.

Because she's someone who sees things through to the end.

The news of Zhou leaving the Fang family quickly became common knowledge.

No one could possibly not know, because that massive procession was simply too eye-catching.

Moreover, the procession circled the main streets of the imperial city, and by the time it finished, most of the people in the imperial city knew about it.

Madam Zhou never dared to look at the outside world. Her life had always been smooth sailing. She was the apple of the eye of the Zhou family and the mistress of the Fang family.

She has always been proud.

But now, she has become a divorced woman, and her family has scattered like leaves in the wind.

If people knew that she was the one in the carriage, if they knew everything that had happened to her, how would they laugh at her?

The thought of being condemned by everyone nearly drove Zhou to despair.

However, Zhou's hiding did not last long.

The group arrived at Caishikou, where prisoners were being beheaded that day.

The people who were beheaded were none other than Doctor Li and his group.

Normally, Zhou Shi couldn't see what was happening outside, but Li Mama lifted the side curtain of the carriage, letting everything into Zhou Shi's eyes.

Zhou witnessed the heads of Doctor Li and his group fall to the ground like watermelons, splattering crimson blood everywhere.

Zhou was so disgusted by what she saw that she almost vomited, but Li's mother still lifted the side curtain of the carriage so that she could see it clearly.

"You lowly thing, how dare you!" Zhou couldn't speak, she could only scold Li's mother with a dagger-like gaze.

Li's mother lowered her head, her voice weak and hoarse: "Miss, please don't blame me. The old master threatened me with the lives of my son and grandson, so I had no choice but to obey him."

Tears welled up in Li's mother's eyes. She was unwilling to betray Zhou, but how could she abandon her son and grandson?

At this moment, she was also in great pain and did not want to see Dr. Li die, but she had no other choice.

No one else knew that she and Dr. Li were not only distant relatives, but they had also had a romantic relationship when they were young, which was the first and most beautiful feeling in her heart.

Now, seeing Dr. Li die, how could she not feel pain?

Zhou didn't want to understand Li Mama at all. She only hated that she couldn't move, otherwise she would definitely beat this traitorous old bastard to death.

Caishikou is always crowded, and with the execution of a prisoner today, the crowds are even larger.

Zhou's carriage was parked so conspicuously that it quickly attracted attention.

"Who's in that carriage? Why do they need a carriage to get to Caishikou?"

"Judging from her attire, she seems to be a lady from some family?"

"That's Madam Fang, the wife of the Minister of Works."

"Why would Madam Fang come to a place like this?"

"I heard that Doctor Li used to work at the Fang residence. Could it be that Madam Fang has come to see Doctor Li off?"

"Sending off an executioner like Doctor Li? It seems Madam Fang isn't a good person either."

"Keep your voices down, I heard that Madam Fang is apparently a daughter of the Zhou family, the Zhou family that has several generals in its lineage."

"Pah! What General's Mansion? I heard that General Zhou has already been dismissed from his post?"

"Huh? When did this happen...?"

More and more people joined the discussion, and the voices grew louder. These voices reached Zhou's ears, causing her face to turn pale and then flushed.

However, this true expression was hidden under thick layers of makeup, making it difficult to detect.

Zhou glared sharply at Li Mama, wanting her to immediately lower the carriage curtain and leave.

However, Li's mother seemed unaware of Zhou's gaze, keeping her head down and silently lifting the carriage curtain.

Zhou was so angry that she wanted to curse loudly, but her lips moved but no sound came out.

Zhou was immediately flustered. She thought Fang Qingyou's humiliation of her was over, but she didn't expect it to have just begun.

All of this must have been arranged by that little bitch.

That little bitch couldn't wait to announce to the world that the Zhou family had fallen, and even more so, she couldn't wait to tell everyone that Fang Xing'an had divorced her.

"Why is Madam Fang staring this way? Her gaze is so fixed on something, what is she looking at?"

A middle-aged man felt uneasy under Zhou's gaze. Seeing that Zhou's eyes were fixed on him without moving, he thought that she had taken a liking to him.

Although Zhou was quite good-looking, she was a married woman, and he was a married man. How could she dare to look at him so boldly?

"That Mrs. Fang seems to be looking at you. Tell me quickly, is there something between you and her? Why does she look at you like she wants to devour you?"

"No, no, I don't know this Mrs. Fang at all."

“I think you should stop calling her Madam Fang. I saw her coming out of the Fang residence the other day, and Master Fang had a dark face. He even said something about us not having anything to do with each other anymore. I was wondering if she had been divorced?”

"They're divorced? Is it true?"

"You saw it too? I saw it too. I just came from the Fang residence, and I was wondering where these people were going."

“Where else could she go? Of course, she was sent back to her parents’ home.”

"So, this Zhou woman is a divorced woman."

"Isn't she just an abandoned woman!"

"After being divorced, why isn't she hiding? What is she still doing wandering around the execution ground? I think this abandoned woman is truly shameless! Such a shameless woman, let alone Master Fang, even I might divorce her!"

"This Zhou family has been divorced by the Fang family, and now her maternal family has also fallen. I don't know where she can go in the future."

"You still sympathize with her? I think she must have committed some heinous crime to be kicked out of the Fang family! Such a wicked woman doesn't deserve any sympathy; she deserves it!"
