The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Murong Xuewei was a little confused; this surname belonged to the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Murong Xuewei asked herself and answered, "Could it be that you have a sweetheart whose surname is Huangfu? Never mind! Now that this jade pendant is in my hands, no matter what its surname was before, at least now it has to be Murong."

Murong Xuewei remembered that when she made a request to Gu Ye, she said that she wanted this token to protect the safety of her family. She thought it might come in handy.

But Gu Ye never explained how to use this thing!

Judging by its appearance, it doesn't seem to be something that makes a sound or can be blown. If it's something that needs to be moved, then how exactly is this thing used?

Could it be that she simply placed it in front of the secret guards? But right now, Murong Xuewei doesn't even know if she has any secret guards by her side.

Murong Xuewei tentatively placed the token in front of her, when suddenly a black figure leaped down from the roof beam and landed steadily in front of her.

"Meet Madam."

"Are you Gu Ye's bodyguard?"

“Yes, madam,” the guard replied respectfully.

Murong Xuewei felt a little embarrassed by the title "Madam." After all, she hadn't married Gu Ye yet, so wasn't it a bit too early to call her "Madam"?

"You don't need to call me 'Madam,' after all, I haven't officially married your general yet."

"Yes ma'am."

Seeing that the guards were so unyielding, Murong Xuewei decided not to dwell on the matter.

"Just tell me how many people you have under your command right now?"

The guard answered honestly, "The team I command consists of ten people. Five of them are by Murong Xuewei's side to protect her at all times, while the other five are on standby."

Murong Xuewei's lips curved into a beautiful smile, "So many people!"

"Here's the arrangement: you keep three people on my side to take turns on guard duty, and you can decide how to distribute the rest. Send two people to my father and mother's side, and two people to my elder brother and sister-in-law's side to protect them. Also, send two people to follow and monitor Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun and report their whereabouts to me at any time."

"Yes, ma'am."

With the arrangements nearly complete, Murong Xuewei dismissed everyone and prepared to rest.

After all, there is still a big battle to be fought. If we want our family to be wary of Murong Lian, we must make them see through Murong Lian's true intentions.

Murong Xuewei had already thought it through, because the reason Murong Lian was able to be adopted was entirely because her father had saved Master Murong's life before.

Out of gratitude for her father's saving her life, and because Murong Lian had become an orphan as a result, Madam Murong adopted Murong Lian.

As long as Murong Lian doesn't do anything to harm the Murong family, Madam Murong has always been quite tolerant of her.

However, Murong Lian was well aware of this, which is why in her previous life, she gradually took advantage of Madam Murong's trust and extended her reach into the Murong family's business.

They even took advantage of Madam Murong's trust to bring Xiao Wan Ning's personal guards to the Murong family; otherwise, the Murong family members from the previous life wouldn't have been captured so easily.

With that in mind, Murong Xuewei decided to start by getting to know her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

In her past life, it was her sister-in-law who first noticed something was wrong with Murong Lian and reminded Murong Xuewei.

At that time, Murong Xuewei was blinded by love and thought her sister-in-law was overthinking things.

Therefore, he even had an argument with his sister-in-law, which hurt her feelings.

After figuring out what to do next, Murong Xuewei pulled the covers over herself and planned to talk to her older brother first thing tomorrow morning so that he could start preparing.

The next morning, Murong Xuewei gently knocked on the study door.

"Come in," Murong Qingyu's voice came from inside.

Murong Xuewei pushed open the door and entered, seeing her elder brother bent over his desk writing. Dressed in a blue robe, he appeared even more gentle and refined.

"Brother, are you busy?"

"Weiwei, come and sit down." Murong Qingyu put down her brush, looked up and saw that it was her younger sister, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Murong Xuewei walked to the desk and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, she still spoke up: "Brother, there's something I want to tell you, it's about Lian'er."

Murong Qingyu's smile faded slightly. "What's wrong with Lian'er? What's she up to now?"

“No, brother, I didn’t mean to say anything bad about Lian’er, it’s just…” Murong Xuewei bit her lip, “I feel like Lian’er… seems to have changed.”

"Changed? How changed?" Murong Qingyu frowned slightly. "Lian'er has been a bit spoiled since she was little, but she's not a bad person at heart. Did you two have another fight?"

"No, brother, this time it's really different." Murong Xuewei wanted to explain urgently, but didn't know where to begin.

Just then, a gentle voice came from the doorway, "Qingyu, Xuewei, what are you talking about?"

Sister-in-law Song Wanyi brought in tea and snacks. Seeing that the two looked unwell, she asked, "What's wrong? You both look pale?"

Murong Qingyu shook her head and repeated what Murong Xuewei had just said, "It's nothing. Weiwei suddenly said that Lian'er seems to have changed, and I'm asking her what happened."

Song Wanyi placed the tea and snacks on the table, then took Murong Xuewei's hand. "Weiwei, why did you suddenly decide to tell us this? Did Lian'er do something?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head anxiously, "No, sister-in-law, it's just that after Lian'er fell into the water yesterday, I felt something was wrong. I always felt that Lian'er was hiding something from us."

Upon hearing this, Song Wanyi frowned slightly. "Weiwei, tell your sister-in-law the truth, did you see something...?"

Murong Xuewei opened her mouth, wanting to tell them everything she had experienced in her past life, but she was afraid they wouldn't believe her and would think she was crazy.

“I…” Murong Xuewei clenched her fists tightly, struggling internally.

"Weiwei, what's wrong with you?" Murong Qingyu also noticed her sister's unusual behavior. "This isn't like you at all. You're acting so hesitantly."

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath. "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm really worried. I'm just afraid... I'm afraid Lian'er will do something to harm the Murong family."

"Harm the Murong family?" Murong Qingyu was stunned. "Weiwei, how could you think that? No matter how immature Lian'er is, she wouldn't do something like this!"

“Yes, Weiwei, have you misunderstood Lian’er?” Song Wanyi also found it hard to believe.

Murong Xuewei looked at their incredulous eyes and felt a sense of powerlessness.

She knew that if she didn't make things clear, they wouldn't believe her at all.

"Sister-in-law, do you believe in reincarnation?"

Song Wanyi touched Murong Xuewei's forehead worriedly, "Are you delirious from a fever? Why are you talking about past lives and present lives?"

Murong Qingyu couldn't help but tease Murong Xuewei, "Weiwei! Did you get scammed at some temple while you were burning incense?"

Murong Xuewei glared at her older brother with exasperation, "Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"

Murong Xuewei pulled Song Wanyi's hand back, "Sister-in-law, I'm serious."
