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

The next day, Murong Xuewei took Liuli out early in the morning.

The golden autumn sun shone brightly on the streets. Murong Xuewei walked briskly toward Xiao Wanning's shop, pondering her next plan.

The shop entrance was bustling with activity, as shop assistants were busy moving goods, creating a lively scene.

As Murong Xuewei stepped into the shop, she heard a familiar voice, "Madam Murong, you've arrived."

Murong Xuewei looked up and saw Xiao Wanning walk out from the inner room with a faint smile on her face.

Murong Xuewei bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I've almost finished with the household matters."

Xiao Wanning nodded, "That's right, there have been some business problems lately, and I need you to handle them."

The two entered the inner room, and Xiao Wanning took out an account book from the shelf, opened it, and placed it in front of Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei took the ledger and looked at it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing seriously wrong.

"***There's nothing wrong with this account!"

Xiao Wanning picked up a pen from the side and drew a line on the ledger.

"The owner of this shop is the wife of Prime Minister Su. Her family recently launched a new rouge, which is particularly popular among the ladies of the capital, causing our shop's business to decline. Do you know if there's any way to deal with it?"

Murong Xuewei thought for a moment, "For this kind of thing, either we launch a new product together with the Su family, or we launch a new product as a competitor."

Xiao Wanning shook her head, indicating that she was not satisfied with Murong Xuewei's approach.

"No, what I mean is that I have already arranged for someone to go to the Su residence to get the formula for this new product. You can think of a better way to promote it."

Xiao Wan Ning's method shocked Murong Xue Wei. Murong Xue Wei never expected that a princess would choose such a method.

"Well... the best way to promote a new product is to have some prominent ladies from the capital come and support it on the day of its release."

Xiao Wanning frowned. "It's that simple."

Murong Xuewei smiled wryly, "***, the essence of doing business is simplicity."

Xiao Wan Ning nodded as if she understood, "I see. It seems that doing business isn't so difficult after all."

At this moment, a servant rushed in and whispered a few words in Xiao Wan Ning's ear.

Xiao Wanning's expression suddenly turned serious. She glanced at Murong Xuewei and said, "You stay here and think about the new product. I have some other things to take care of."

Murong Xuewei nodded in agreement, but her heart was filled with doubt.

After Xiao Wan Ning left, Murong Xue Wei, along with Liu Li, began to carefully examine the shop's accounts and inventory.

She noticed that some of the accounts seemed a bit off, as if someone had tampered with them in secret.

Just as Murong Xuewei was about to take a closer look, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Murong Xuewei looked up alertly and saw a dark figure flash past the window.

Murong Xuewei was startled, and Liuli immediately became alert.

Just then, a cold arrow pierced through the window and flew straight toward Murong Xuewei!

Liuli reacted quickly, pulling Murong Xuewei to the side to dodge the fatal blow.

"An assassin!" Murong Xuewei shouted.

Liuli pushed Murong Xuewei aside, drew her soft sword from her waist, and began to fight the man in black.

"Madam, please leave quickly."

Murong Xuewei hid behind the table, forcing herself to calm down.

Murong Xuewei knew that the assassins last night and the assassination attempt today were no accident; someone wanted her dead.

Just then, several more arrows came flying through the air. Murong Xuewei quickly used her wits to hide behind her desk and barely managed to dodge them.

Murong Xuewei knew that staying here would only cause trouble for Liuli.

Murong Xuewei, quick-witted, grabbed a heavy coat and put it on before rushing out of the shop.

Seeing that Murong Xuewei had escaped, the assassin immediately gave chase.

Liuli stood in front of the man in black, sword in hand, saying, "Your opponent is me."

Murong Xuewei ran frantically through the street, shouting for help, "Murong Lian! There's an assassin!"

Surprisingly, instead of the bustling Jeshi shopping mall that should have been outside the shop, Murong Xuewei found herself in a narrow alley.

Murong Xuewei had no choice but to run while surveying the terrain.

Murong Xuewei was only thinking about finding someone to support Liuli as soon as possible.

Although Liuli's martial arts skills are not bad, the man in black is obviously a suicide squad. I'm afraid that if this goes on for too long, Liuli will not be able to hold on.

Murong Xuewei gritted her teeth and continued running forward, hoping to find the soldiers as soon as possible.

Murong Xuewei was out of breath as she ran. She knew that if she couldn't find an exit soon, the assassins would catch up with her.

Just at this critical moment, Murong Xuewei saw an exit in the alley ahead, leading to what appeared to be a bustling street.

Murong Xuewei was overjoyed. She lifted her skirt and ran quickly toward the alley entrance.

"Help! There's an assassin!" Murong Xuewei shouted.

Just as she was about to run out of the alley, a group of men in black, who appeared out of nowhere, blocked Murong Xuewei's path.

One of the men in black threw a handful of powder at Murong Xuewei.

A unique fragrance wafted by.

Murong Xuewei's vision began to blur. She managed to take a few steps forward before finally losing consciousness.

Seeing that Murong Xuewei had fainted, the group of men in black simply picked her up and disappeared into the alley.

When Liuli arrived, she witnessed the man in black leading Murong Xuewei away.

Liuli hurriedly chased after him, but after only two streets, she lost sight of the man in black.

Liuli was extremely anxious and immediately turned around and ran towards the General's Mansion.

"General! Something terrible has happened!" Liuli rushed into Gu Ye's study, panting.

Gu Ye looked up and saw Liu Li's panicked appearance, and an ominous premonition immediately rose in his heart.

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly." Gu Ye tried to remain calm.

Liuli took a deep breath, "Madam...she's been kidnapped!"

Gu Ye suddenly stood up, his face instantly turning ashen. "What happened? Didn't Xue Wei go to see Xiao Wan Ning today?"

Liuli told Gu Ye the whole story.

After listening, Gu Ye frowned and began pacing back and forth.

"You said those men in black were exceptionally skilled and worked together seamlessly?" Gu Ye suddenly asked.

Liuli nodded. "Yes, they don't look like ordinary江湖草莽 (jianghu caomang, meaning outlaws or江湖草莽, meaning ...

Gu Ye seemed thoughtful. "It seems there's more to this story than meets the eye."

He turned to Liuli and said, "You go and rest first, I'll handle this."

Liuli looked at Gu Ye with concern, "General, Madam, she..."

Gu Ye waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely save her."

After Liuli stepped down, Gu Ye immediately summoned several deputy generals.

"Immediately seal off the city gates and thoroughly investigate all suspicious persons," Gu Ye ordered.

One of the lieutenants hesitated and said, "General, won't doing this alert the enemy?"

Gu Ye sneered, "I want to stir up trouble. I want to see who's so bold as to dare touch my wife in the capital."
