Two security guards dragged Mu Ru away.

As they were dragging her out of the room, Mu Ru shouted, "Dongfang Mo, I didn't add anything to that medicine!"

"Dongfang Mo, you have to believe me!"

"Dongfang Mo, I really didn't do it!"

"Dongfang Mo, you can't accuse me without any evidence!"

Unfortunately, whatever Mu Ru said was useless. Dongfang Mo did not stop the security guards. She was dragged to the basement of a nearby building.

Mu Ru was brought to a nearby basement. It was actually the wine cellar, where the Dongfang family stored all their wine bottles.

Because of the need to preserve the wine, servants would always add ice to the wine containers in the cellar. The security guards pushed Mu Ru into the cellar. With a clang, the door was locked from the outside, and she sank into the ice cellar.

It was so cold. She wore only a thin set of clothes, and it was so cold that she was starting to shiver. She reached out her hands and groped in the darkness. With great difficulty, she found a cushioned armchair. She climbed into it, curled up in it, and slowly closed her eyes.

She had never felt so tired before. She was tired both physically and mentally.

She was conflicted. She had treated Dongfang Mo, the husband that God had given her, sincerely, the way a wife was supposed to treat her husband. She had never even looked down on him, and she had always thought of him. Even when he humiliated her, she did her best to endure his cold and cruel personality.

She had always believed that over time, Dongfang Mo would treat her better because of the way she took care of him. She realized that the possibility of that happening was slim.

When she was little, Mother Wang had often told her that as time goes by, people with hard hearts become softer, because all human hearts were made of flesh. Mu Ru had believed this to be true, even with someone as cold as Dongfang Mo.

However, that day, she finally understood that Dongfang Mo was not a rock. He was an ice sculpture that had been frozen for a very long time. She felt like she wouldn't be able to endure his cruelty any longer.

Later that night, Dongfang Mo and Uncle Liu were in the garden talking about what had happened.

Mu Ru heard their conversation, but she didn't even bother to listen in. She heard faint traces of their voices. "How is Xi Muxue doing now?" Dongfang Mo asked.

"Liu Hao called. He said that it was fortunate she was sent to the hospital in time. It was not easy for him to save her life, but one of her ovaries were cut off. It will probably be very difficult for her to have another child in this lifetime," Uncle Liu said plainly.

"How is the investigation? What exactly happened to her? How did the miscarriage happen?" Dongfang Mo asked.

"I've investigated everything. Her medicine must have been tampered with by Xi Muxue herself," Uncle Liu said truthfully. "Perhaps Xi Muxue didn't expect that she held musk when she offered incense today, so the effects of the medicine were too strong, resulting in her miscarriage and causing massive bleeding."

"I understand," Dongfang Mo answered. He scoffed coldly and said, "Looks like Xi Muxue's pregnancy has angered some people. They're probably worried that the Dongfang family will be producing an heir. Although their methods are brilliant, they simply revealed their true intentions."
