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

Xiao Wan Ning gave her a meaningful look and said, "Is that so? Then hurry up and find it, don't delay the banquet."

Murong Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief, but her vigilance increased even more.

She knew that Xiao Wanning might have already become suspicious.

In the days that followed, Murong Xuewei had to be even more careful.

In order to gain Xiao Wanning's further trust, she had to participate in some controversial decisions.

Every time she made such a decision, Murong Xuewei felt extremely tormented.

She began to question whether her actions were worthwhile and whether she could really save her uncle's family.

However, just when she was about to give up, an unexpected opportunity arose.

Murong Xuewei discovered an important document in Xiao Wanning's study that might be related to her uncle's case.

While Xiao Wan Ning wasn't paying attention, Murong Xue Wei secretly slipped into the study under the pretense of looking at the account books and found the letter.

Murong Xuewei carefully took out the envelope and put a fake one inside.

Murong Xuewei returned to the General's Mansion with the envelope and opened it.

The letter was actually signed by Su Xiaonuan's father.

Murong Xuewei carefully opened the envelope, inside which was a secret letter written by Su Xiaonuan's father to Xiao Wanning ten years ago.

The letter mentioned her uncle's family's case, and Murong Xuewei's heart sank.

Murong Xuewei was unwilling to doubt the first friend she met in the capital, but the evidence before her forced her to think deeply.

If this matter had nothing to do with Prime Minister Su, why would he write this letter to Xiao Wan Ning?

If this matter is related to him, does Ah Nuan know about it?

Murong Xuewei dared not continue reading the contents of the letter, so she folded the letter back up and put it back in the envelope.

Murong Xuewei decided to ask Su Xiaonuan before looking at the contents of the letter.

A few days later, Murong Xuewei, under the guise of visiting Su Xiaonuan, secretly tried to find out about the relationship between Prime Minister Su and Xiao Wanning.

As soon as Su Xiaonuan saw Murong Xuewei, she gave Murong Xuewei a big hug.

"You heartless bastard, you haven't come to play with me in so long, I'm so bored."

Murong Xuewei patted Su Xiaonuan's hand, "I've been busy these days, but the first thing I thought of when I had some free time today was to come see you."

Su Xiaonuan held Murong Xuewei's hand and asked, "I heard you've been helping *** manage the shop lately, is that true?"

"It's true." After saying that, Murong Xuewei pretended to remember something and covered her mouth in surprise.

"You used to hate *** so much, are you unhappy because I helped her manage the shop?"

"Am I that kind of person? You are you, and *** is ***, that's not the same."

Murong Xuewei seemed relieved and suddenly asked, "By the way, Nuannuan, what's your father's relationship with the emperor in court?"

A shrewd glint flashed in Su Xiaonuan's eyes, but she looked up and pretended to be confused again. "My father and the emperor have never had a good relationship in the court."

"Oh? So their relationship has always been bad?" Murong Xuewei continued to press.

Su Xiaonuan thought for a moment, "No, it seems that it suddenly became not so good a few years ago. At first, our family's relationship with *** was okay. Back then, *** didn't want it to be like this now."

Murong Xuewei felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this.

According to Su Xiaonuan, Prime Minister Su suddenly broke up with Xiao Sining a few years ago.

In other words, their relationship had always been good, which means that perhaps Prime Minister Su knew something about his uncle's case.

After getting the answer she wanted, Murong Xuewei had no interest in chatting with Su Xiaonuan and made an excuse that she had something to do before leaving.

After Murong Xuewei left the Su residence, Su Xiaonuan immediately found Gu Ye. "Xuewei suddenly came to inquire about my father and my mother today, what's going on?"

Gu Ye looked down at the book in his hand, and after a while answered Su Xiaonuan, "Xue Wei got a letter from Xiao Wan Ning. It was written by your father to Xiao Wan Ning ten years ago."

Su Xiaonuan was a little confused, "My father wrote this to Xiao Wanning? What is it about?"

"The above content is about a case from twenty years ago in which Murong Jing colluded with remnants of the previous dynasty."

“Remnants of the previous dynasty…” Su Xiaonuan murmured, “That’s you…”

Gu Ye shot her a sharp glare, and Su Xiaonuan immediately covered her mouth, making a gesture to seal it.

Gu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, you can go back now. Everything will remain the same."

Gu Ye felt a little worried. He knew that Murong Xuewei had been investigating the case of his uncle's family from back then, but he didn't expect that she would find out about that letter. He wondered how long he could keep it from her.

Suddenly, Gu Ye's injuries worsened, and he developed a high fever that night.

When the servants came to inform Murong Xuewei, she had already gone to sleep.

Murong Xuewei casually threw on a coat and rushed to Gu Ye's courtyard.

As they walked, Liuli asked, "Wasn't the general's injury slowly getting better? Why did he suddenly develop a high fever? And where did Zhang Jing go?"

Liuli ran up to answer Murong Xuewei's question, "The people below said that Doctor Zhang Jing went out to find medicinal herbs recently and is not in the mansion. The general was fine in the afternoon, but when Uncle Lin went to find the general to wash up in the evening, he found that the general had already fainted."

Murong Xuewei rushed to the Qingsong Courtyard where Gu Ye lived. As soon as she entered, she took the handkerchief from the servant, wrung it out in water, and placed it on Gu Ye's forehead.

"Has the First Madam arrived?"

Uncle Lin stood beside Murong Xuewei and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Madam, we have already sent someone to invite them."

Murong Xuewei reached out to touch Gu Ye's forehead and found it was burning hot.

"No, if we wait any longer, the general might not be able to get a doctor and will burn out. Someone, prepare water for the general to bathe."

Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment, "Is this alright, Madam?"

“When I was a child, I had a high fever that wouldn’t go down. My dad found a miracle doctor who taught me this method to quickly bring down the temperature.”

Uncle Lin, half believing and half doubting, instructed the servants to prepare water for his bath.

"The water can't be too hot, nor can it be cold," Murong Xuewei turned to instruct Uncle Lin, while she helped Gu Ye up.

The servants quickly prepared the water.

At this moment, Murong Xuewei disregarded the proper etiquette between men and women, unbuttoned Gu Ye's clothes, and together with Uncle Lin, helped Gu Ye into the bathtub and wiped him down.

When it was almost time, they helped Gu Ye back to bed.

By the time the doctor arrived, Gu Ye's temperature had already dropped somewhat.

After learning about Murong Xuewei's actions, the doctor couldn't help but praise her for doing the right thing.

The doctor prescribed medicine, and Murong Xuewei had someone prepare the medicine and then personally fed it to Gu Ye.

After tossing and turning all night, Gu Ye finally woke up at the crack of dawn.

When Murong Xuewei saw that Gu Ye had woken up, she hurriedly asked a servant to bring her a meat porridge that had been simmering all night.

"Have you been here the whole time?" Gu Ye asked weakly.

"General, you have no idea. As soon as Madam found out you had a high fever, she came immediately and took care of you all night without taking off her clothes."

Before Murong Xuewei could speak, Liuli spoke first.

Liuli knew that if she didn't say anything, Murong Xuewei would definitely say that she had only arrived in the morning.
