At this moment, Lu Nianyao's heart was filled with regret and self-blame. She originally just wanted to secretly help Mu Qi Zong, but she didn't expect things to develop to this point.

But she didn't think she had done anything wrong. She just hated that Ke'er, such a heartless person, was by her side.

If I had been ruthless enough to beat her out right away.

She wouldn't have ended up like this.

Lu Nianyao defended herself.

"Qi Zong, I really didn't mean it. I just wanted you to drink some medicine before taking the imperial examination so that you can perform better. I didn't expect it to backfire..." Lu Nianyao's voice choked. She tried her best to control her emotions, but the pain in her heart surged like a tide.

When Mu Qi Zong heard Lu Nian Yao mention that day, he felt sick all over.

At that time, he drank the soup brought by Lu Nian Yao. After entering the examination room, he picked up the brush to answer the questions. Halfway through, he had a severe stomachache and finally lost the opportunity to take the exam.

Mu Qizon was carried out in a daze by the elders of the clan, and his heart was filled with despair.

That was the most painful time in his life.

Memories gather and return to reality.

In the study, the light was dim and the atmosphere was depressing. Mu Qizong sat in front of the desk, his brows furrowed and his face livid.

Lu Nianyao knelt in front of him, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes full of regret and pleading.

Lu Nianyao kept apologizing to Mu Qizon.

"Qi Zong, I know I was wrong. I really didn't mean it. I just hope you can get good results in the exams..." Lu Nian Yao's voice was tearful. She looked up at Mu Qi Zong with tears in her eyes.

Mu Qizon closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner anger.

"Nian Yao, do you know that after I drank your soup that day, I had unbearable stomach pain when I entered the examination room and had to leave early?" Mu Qi Zong's voice was cold and trembling. "That was the most important moment in my life, but you ruined it!"

Lu Nianyao's body trembled, but it couldn't be entirely blamed on her!

It was that bitch Ke'er who did this.

Lu Nianyao was so angry that her teeth itched, "Qi Zong, I really didn't mean it. I didn't know there would be problems with the soup. If I had known, I would never have given you that soup."

"This is all the fault of that bitch Ke'er!"

Mu Qi Zong opened his eyes and looked at Lu Nian Yao's tearful face, and a feeling of irritation surged in his heart.

In the study, the dim light reflected Mu Qizong's cold face. He stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to Lu Nianyao, and his voice revealed deep disappointment and fatigue.

"Nian Yao, we are husband and wife, and I have always trusted you. But this time, I am completely disappointed in you." Mu Qi Zong slowly turned around, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "If you hadn't always criticized and scolded the servants, and deducted their monthly wages, this would never have happened. You are always so spoiled, and you have caused all kinds of troubles."

"Last time, it was you who instructed Ke'er to push Li Lian into the water, right?" Mu Qizon's voice revealed deep anger and disappointment.

Lu Nianyao's face turned pale in an instant, and she raised her head in disbelief and looked at Mu Qizon.

She originally thought that what she did could be concealed from the world, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Mu Qizong.

"Husband, are you kidding me? There is no way I could do such a thing."

Even now, Lu Nianyao still refuses to admit it.

Mu Qi Zong directly took out a book from the drawer of the desk.

Ke'er records what she does every day. After all, as a maid, she still has to prepare a book to record her master's preferences so as to avoid making mistakes.

Ke'er was very serious. In this book, she not only recorded Lu Nianyao's various preferences, but also recorded the things she did for her.

Now she's on the run.

Forgot to take things with you.

After Lu Nian Yao was driven back to the Lu family by the Mu mother and son, the book was picked up by Mu's mother and shown to Mu Qi Zong.

Lu Nianyao flipped through the book hurriedly.

She could also recognize words. After all, after the Lu family became rich, the Lu parents were afraid that they would be illiterate and looked down upon by other girls.

A teacher was specially invited to teach.

See the contents of the book.

Lu Nianyao's body trembled, she knew that this matter could no longer be concealed. She lowered her head, was silent for a while, then slowly raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes.

"Qi Zong, I admit that I was the one who caused Li Lian to fall into the water, but that was because I loved you too much and I didn't want to see you and Li Lian together." Lu Nianyao's voice was filled with tears, "I thought that as long as I got rid of her, you would come back to me."

When Mu Qizon heard this, he sneered in his heart.

He originally thought that Lu Nianyao was just spoiled and willful, but he didn't expect her to be so cruel and ruthless.

"Nian Yao, you disappoint me so much." Mu Qi Zong's voice was cold and resolute. "Li Lian and I have always been brother and sister. Do you think you can win my heart back by harming Li Lian? You are wrong. What you did will only make me hate you even more."

When Lu Nianyao heard this, she felt despair.

Lu Nianyao bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to cry out. She knew that her mistake was irreversible, so she could only try her best to make up for it.

"Qi Zong, I am willing to bear all the consequences. I only ask you not to leave me and give me a chance to reform." Lu Nian Yao's voice trembled and her eyes were full of pleading.

Mu Qizong looked at Lu Nianyao's pitiful appearance, without a trace of emotion in his heart: "Lu Nianyao, let's part ways in peace."

When Lu Nianyao heard Mu Qizong's resolute words, she was struck by lightning. She raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief. Her face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled, and she could not accept this cruel reality at all.

Mu Qi Zong stood in front of the desk with his back to Lu Nian Yao. His back looked unusually firm and indifferent.

He remained silent, but made his attitude clear through his actions. He had already decided to divorce his wife and would not change his mind.

Lu Nianyao suddenly became a little crazy. She stood up and her expression became fierce.

She went up and grabbed Mu Qizong's sleeve, her voice sharp and angry: "How dare you divorce me? What rights do you have to divorce me!" Her eyes flashed with anger, as if she wanted to devour Mu Qizong.

Mu Qizong turned around and looked at Lu Nianyao's angry and twisted face, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He struggled to break free from Lu Nianyao's hand, and said in a cold and firm voice: "Nianyao, ask yourself, what have you done that makes you worthy of being my wife?"

Lu Nianyao's face turned pale and blue due to Mu Qizon's words.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

She used to be the eldest daughter of the Lu family and the wife of a marquis in her previous life. When had she ever suffered such humiliation and neglect?
