The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Boom!

It sounded like thunder was exploding overhead.

Zhou Xiong swayed.

What the heck?

Someone adapted his past deeds and put them on the stage.

Isn't this just digging up his entire life story? Regardless of whether the adapted drama is good or bad, simply adapting his life story is intolerable!

He's the garrison commander of Pukou City!

In the entire city of Pukou, no one should disrespect him except the city lord.

just now……

Yet they dared to humiliate him like this.

Zhou Xiong's face was filled with sinister anger. He said, "Come on, let's go see. I want to know if these people have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard."

Zhou Xiong, full of vigor and high spirits, led a group of personal guards to the location. Soon they arrived and saw a large crowd gathered in front of the stage.

It was practically impossible to get through.

They were surrounded by layers upon layers of people!

Everyone was watching the spectacle. He snorted coldly, and his personal guards immediately took action to disperse the crowd... but they failed.

Not only were officials from various levels of Pukou City involved, but men and women from the Pukou City Love Mutual Aid Alliance also flocked there.

This left Zhou Xiong feeling utterly helpless.

They couldn't fight back, and they were too unwilling to just back out, so they gritted their teeth and squeezed in with their personal guards.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, I finally managed to squeeze in. By then, I was drenched in sweat, and my frustration and depression had reached their peak.

I could only endure it and look at the stage.

A brand new scene has just begun on the stage.

A man and a woman came up.

Zhou Xiong could tell the difference clearly just by looking at their attire.

The man was him, and the woman was his wife, Wanqing, who was shot to death by him and his soldiers.

My wife, Wanqing...

Or rather, the actress dressed as his wife Wanqing is looking tenderly at the actor dressed as him.

"Brother Zhou Xiong, I've already made up my mind. I will marry no one but you in this lifetime."

The actress's acting skills were clearly good, and her emotions... perhaps because of her expertise, were also quite on point.

After just one sentence, the men and women in the audience went wild.

"Wow, what a wonderful woman!"

"Miss Wanqing is indeed the epitome of sincerity and purity, a role model of love. Just those words sent chills down my spine."

"None of my family members understand, Miss Wanqing's voice when she speaks is simply soothing to my heart."

……

Amidst the clamor, Zhou Xiong frowned deeply, and then he saw the play continue on the stage.

After the actress playing Wan Qing finished speaking, the actor playing him immediately laughed and said, "Then does that mean I don't need to give you a betrothal gift?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiong's expression changed.

Because he really did say that.

The audience at the scene quickly erupted in excitement.

"Miss Wanqing loves you so much, yet you don't even want to give her a betrothal gift. What a scumbag!"

"This shows that Zhou Xiong's dissatisfaction with Miss Wanqing is not a recent development; it has been brewing for a long time. I suggest a thorough investigation!"

"Men, they're all the same! Such a wonderful Miss Wanqing, and they don't even want to give her a betrothal gift! That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!"

……

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, the story on the stage continued without pause.

The actress playing Wanqing immediately exclaimed, "No, that won't do. The betrothal gifts still need to be given, but I will treat you well in the future."

The male actor playing Zhou Xiong said, "After we get married, you'll do the housework."

"No, no, that won't do, but I'll try my best and I'll get you a good horse later."

"I want a Ferghana horse."

"No, no, that won't do, but I can take care of you."

"Starting tomorrow, I will not go to the military camp and will stay at home."

"No, no, that won't do, but I'll listen to you from now on."

"So... after we get married, I'll be in charge of all the money in our household?"

"No, no, absolutely not. After we get married, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours."

……

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xiong lost all interest in reading further. He felt a chill run down his spine, because this was exactly what had happened between him and Wan Qing!

so true!

It's clear that the city lord intends to deal with him to the death, revealing everything to the outside world, and those who are unaware of the details might even try to find out more.

"Is it really necessary for me and the city lord to become completely at odds? With Ren Tianye's army outside, if we're at odds, defending Pukou City will be much more difficult!"

Zhou Xiong was truly a good general. Even with his privacy being exposed to such an extent and then put on a show in front of everyone, he was still thinking about the defense of Pukou City.

But those audience members...

The men and women of the Pukou City Love Mutual Aid Alliance were utterly enraged.

Anger surged forth like boiling water.

"I can't watch anymore, I can't watch even a little bit. How can there be such a heartless and ungrateful man in this world? Miss Wanqing is so good to him. She is willing to treat him well, give him good horses, and take care of him. She listens to everything he says, but he doesn't know how to appreciate it at all."

"Yes, yes, this man is awful. Miss Wanqing is so good to him, but he only wants to take advantage of her and try to drain her dry. I can't stand it anymore."

"Zhou Xiong is indeed a person who does not respect love. It's a pity that our wonderful Miss Wanqing lost her life at his hands."

……

The insults grew increasingly fierce, jolting Zhou Xiong out of his thoughts. Feeling the accusations of thousands around him, Zhou Xiong's anger surged again.

He glared at her fiercely, and his colleagues, who seemed to be in a defensive formation, squeezed out and went to watch other performances on different stages.

Basically, they are all very similar, criticizing him from all angles and without any blind spots.

Moreover, the scale of the performances on various stages is getting larger and larger, from his daily interactions with Wanqing to various scenes such as their private conversations.

Showcase the details.

Without any details, they filled in the details with their imagination, and forcibly turned Zhou Xiong's image into someone that everyone despised.

"Damn it, those bastards!"

Zhou Xiong cursed inwardly, "I really want to open the city gates and let Ren Tianye's army in, so that these people will know the power of weapons."

Unfortunately, these words were only in his mind, circulating within his internal organs; Zhou Xiong would never even utter them aloud.

Finally, still filled with anger, he prepared to return, but suddenly heard another burst of noise.

Looking over, he realized that someone was speaking up for him, which attracted the attention of the Pukou City Love Mutual Aid Alliance members who gathered around.

"I think General Zhou Xiong is right. Wanqing, that woman, dares to say anything, but when it comes to real matters, she immediately backs down."

"They say they will only marry General Zhou Xiong, but the dowry cannot be less than a penny; they say they will treat General Zhou Xiong well, but they are unwilling to do housework; they say they can support General Zhou Xiong, but they do not allow General Zhou Xiong to rest at home; they say they will listen to General Zhou Xiong, but they will not give General Zhou Xiong a single penny... Isn't this a typical case of saying one thing and doing another?"

These words were recognized by many people in Pukou City. After all, although the Love Mutual Aid Alliance had a large following, its actual number of members was not large.

Most of them were commoners from Pukou City, and they were able to distinguish right from wrong.

This infuriated the members of the Pukou City Love Mutual Aid Alliance, who surrounded them and hurled insults.

"I think this person is Zhou Xiong's lackey. Find out his information and expose him."

"Yes, from now on everyone should avoid him."

"He must be just like Zhou Xiong—heartless, loveless, lonely, and a complete scumbag!"

……

Amidst this barrage of insults, that person, or those ordinary citizens, were both afraid and steadfast.

What Zhou Xiong saw deeply moved him.

Indeed, Pukou City has the Love Mutual Aid Alliance, and there are also officials like the city lord who can't distinguish right from wrong, turning Pukou City upside down.

It drove him almost crazy.

However, there are far too many ordinary people like this in Pukou City, and these ordinary people are clear about this and understand it.

These ordinary people made up the majority.

This gave Zhou Xiong a strong sense of self-confidence.

However, Zhou Xiong did not rescue the civilian, knowing that he could only save him temporarily, not permanently. Nevertheless, he left with a happy heart.

The ordinary people were exhausted after being tormented by the men and women of the Pukou City Love Mutual Aid Alliance. Fortunately, the men and women of the Love Mutual Aid Alliance did not linger around them.

These ordinary people finally had a chance to disperse.

They've all gone far away.

They finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"That was terrifying!"

"Who can argue with that?"

"Sigh, these days, it's hard to be a person, and even harder to be a normal person!"

……

As they were still discussing, a person suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

It was Song Shaoyi, who conspired with Chen Liang and was ordered by the former leader of the Demon Suppression Division to help Ren Tianye.

"Fellow villagers, I just heard your support for Zhou Xiong. Alas, I didn't expect you to fail to see the situation clearly."

……
