Who could have known that her pleas would be met with Mu Xigui’s questioning?

“Why did you only handcuff Mu Qingling? What about Qi Huiyin? The card used was hers. I don’t believe that she wasn’t involved in Mu Qingling’s plan to harm my daughter.”

Qi Huiyin, “…”

Shock!

Panic!

Unbelievable!

Although Mu Xigui had never slept with her, he had been the most competent husband in the world in all other regards.

That was why she had never been willing to reveal to anyone that Mu Qingling was not the biological child of the Mu family.

In her heart, he was her first husband and Mu Qingling was her daughter from her.

However, such a good man had turned so cold after falling out with her.

After receiving his order, the policemen handcuffed Qi Huiyin.

Looking at the handcuffs around her wrists, she burst into tears.

“How could you be so heartless? How could you be so heartless? We’ve been married for 15 years! How can you arrest us just like this without even giving us a chance?”

“Heartless? Are you talking about yourself? What is a 15-year marriage? In these 15 years, I have treated you as a woman who is my daughter’s mother—but I never touched you. I stayed with you for 15 years, and all I wanted was for you to be a good mother to my daughter. I gave you all the power and wealth you wanted, but you couldn’t even do the one thing I asked of you. You want to talk about love? If this was not a society of law and order, I would strangle both you and your daughter to death with my bare hands! You don’t have to worry about the divorce for now. Once you’ve been charged and sentenced, I will file for divorce so you won’t have to go through the procedures yourself.”

Upon saying that, Mu Xigui instructed the police, “Take them away together.”

“Yes.”

Qi Huiyin and Mu Qingling were completely dumbfounded.

They could not believe it. All they had done was drug Mu Qingxuan, and it had led to their family breaking up.

If they were given another chance and the courage to take it, they would not dare bully Mu Qingxuan ever again.

Qi Huiyin and Mu Qingxuan were taken away. What awaited them was the punishment of the law.

Although they did not deserve to die for their crimes, the target of their crimes had been the daughter of the governor.

The prosecution and the law would likely give them harsh sentences and not allow any plea deals.

Even if they were to be released after 15 years, it would still be a hell of a lot of their lives gone.

During that time, they would probably realize that going to jail was not the scariest thing. At least in prison, they had food and accommodation—though the lack of freedom would still make things unpleasant.

However, once they were released, they would no longer be the madam and miss of the Mu family. They would be unimportant figures and the scum of the city—anyone could do anything to them. No one would support them anymore. They would no longer have a large villa to live in—or even be able to rent a cheap house. Renting a house was very difficult for women like them who had been to prison, had criminal records, and had been out of touch with society for a long time. Their beauty would also be worn down in prison. Even if they tried to sell their bodies, no one would take a fancy to them. It would be an extravagant hope to even be able to eat their fill when that time comes.

At that moment, as they watched Mu Xigui bring his grandchildren out, accompanied by a luxurious car surrounded by bodyguards which made it impossible for them to get close, they truly felt the full intensity of their regret.
