The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

The truth is that she was perfectly conscious, and every word of the insults and abuse she heard went straight to her ears.

She saw every single one of those mocking, sarcastic, insulting, disdainful, and disgusted look in her eyes.

Only after the execution at Caishikou was over and all the onlookers had dispersed did Li Mama lower the carriage curtain.

Only then did Li's mother breathe a slight sigh of relief; what she had to do was finally almost done.

She was about to collapse if she didn't finish soon.

Those insults were unbearable for her; I imagine the young lady would find them even more unbearable.

"Miss, please don't blame me, I really have no other choice," Li's mother said silently in her heart.

By this time, Zhou had been mocked by countless eyes and cursed by countless people.

Even their carriage was surrounded by rings of saliva, phlegm, and other filth.

Zhou was too exhausted to do anything more. Her anger was always provoked, but it was always forcibly extinguished by the long process of not being able to get revenge.

After leaving Caishikou, the group headed towards the Zhou family's residence in a grand procession.

Zhou's eyes were ashen; she felt like she was already dead, worn down to nothing, yet it was still not over.

When the carriage arrived at the Zhou residence, no one came out to greet it for a long time.

Because the Zhou residence, which was usually heavily guarded, was now deserted, no one knew that Zhou Shi had been sent back.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, Li's mother thought of getting off the bus to call for them.

Unexpectedly, he was met with Zhou's pleading gaze.

Originally, she could have maintained her airs and endured it.

But now, they have arrived at the gate of the Zhou residence. Once they step through this gate, her parents, brothers, and sisters will know that she has been divorced by the Fang family.

She would rather find a place to stay than return to the Zhou residence.

She wished these things would never be known to the Zhou family. She couldn't even imagine the disappointed and shocked looks in the eyes of her parents, brothers, and sisters, let alone the mockery in the eyes of the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion.

She felt like a rat that everyone wanted to kill, and the only safe thing to do was to hide.

Madam Li knew what Zhou meant, but could only refuse: "Miss, please be patient for a while. I'll go back to the manor now, and the master and madam will send someone to pick you up soon."

"Woo-woo—" Zhou let out an angry yet low, strange cry. This old thing is so heartless.

They were master and servant after all, yet this old hag betrayed her like this!

"Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. I can't possibly abandon my son and grandson!" Mama Li lowered her head even further, got off the carriage without hesitation, and limped towards the Zhou residence.

Looking at Li's mother's figure, Zhou's eyes turned bloodshot, and her teeth chattered loudly, like a man-eating monster.

The Zhou residence was already in complete chaos.

Ever since Lord He was impeached, the Zhou family has been extremely cautious, fearing something bad might happen. They never expected this day to come so quickly, catching them completely off guard.

Several officials from the Zhou family who held official positions did not return after the morning court session. Instead, an imperial edict arrived, ordering Emperor Mingde to keep them all behind, saying that everything would be investigated before any action was taken.

Emperor Mingde's words sounded somewhat conciliatory, but both Old Madam Zhou and Madam Zhou were thrown into disarray.

The imperial edict didn't say anything, but they already knew what had happened at the morning court session.

Buying and selling official positions, or coveting military posts—which of these isn't a serious crime?

Just as Old Madam Zhou and Madam Zhou were gathering the direct descendants of the Zhou family to discuss how to overcome the current crisis, Li Mama revealed that Zhou Shi had been divorced by the Fang family and sent back to the Zhou family.

"That bastard Fang Xing'an, how dare he!" Old Madam Zhou spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. Fang Xing'an actually dared to divorce her daughter. Who gave him the guts?

The others all looked grim. They say that when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter, but the Zhou family hasn't even fallen yet, and the Fang family has already turned their backs on them.

Madam Zhou eventually brought Zhou Shi back, and upon seeing her daughter, Old Madam Zhou immediately hugged her and burst into tears.

However, Madam Zhou and the other ladies couldn't help but look at them strangely. Despite being divorced, Madam Zhou returned dressed in a glamorous outfit.

Those who don't know the truth would think she did something glorious; who would have guessed it was something as humiliating and shameful as being divorced?

Especially Madam Zhou, whose face showed a hint of displeasure. The Zhou family was in dire straits, and everyone was trying to keep a low profile. But her sister-in-law, who had been divorced, was not only dressed in a glamorous manner, but also had a grand procession as if she were getting married, almost like she was about to have a wedding.

Their actions were so flamboyant and high-profile that outsiders would think the Zhou family had some great joyous occasion to celebrate.

But everyone knows that the Zhou family was punished by the Emperor. I really don't know what the Emperor would think if he found out about this.

Upon seeing Old Madam Zhou, Madam Zhou could no longer hold back her grievances. After crying, she noticed that the others were looking at her with displeasure and knew that they must have misunderstood her.

In the past, Zhou would not have bothered to explain this to her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, but things are different now.

Zhou wanted to have someone bring out paper and pen so she could write down all her grievances, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly be able to speak.

She then realized that she seemed to be able to cry just now, and not only that, but she also seemed to be able to control her actions.

"Slap—" Realizing this, Zhou immediately turned around and slapped Li's mother hard.

The slap sent Li's mother sprawling to the ground, causing her to stagger.

Li's mother covered her face and remained silent, while Zhou pointed at Li's mother and launched into a tirade of abuse. If she didn't have the strength, she would have loved to stomp Li's mother to death.

While Zhou was cursing Li Mama, everyone overheard the general process of how Zhou was divorced. It was Li Mama who betrayed her and fabricated many things to frame her, which led to Zhou being divorced by the Fang family.

Ms. Zhou also said that she had no choice but to dress like that and make such a big fuss.

Zhou continued her tirade until she was too exhausted to continue, but no one believed her.

She said she couldn't speak before, but now she can curse so fluently.

She said she couldn't move before, but now she can cry and hit people. Apart from looking a little weak, she seems no different from a normal person...

Is there some magical way in the world that can instantly transform a "wooden person" into a "normal person"?
