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

Dr. Zhang waved his hand, "It's what I should do. But Madam, I heard she also fainted?"

Uncle Lin nodded. "Yes, another doctor is taking care of her."

After a moment's thought, Doctor Zhang said, "I'll go check on Madam's condition later. The General and Madam have experienced something extraordinary this time, and they probably both need to recuperate properly."

Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment, then simply nodded.

Meanwhile, in Murong Xuewei's room, Liuli was carefully feeding her medicine. Murong Xuewei slowly opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat dazed.

"Madam, you're awake!" Liuli said with delight.

Murong Xuewei asked weakly, "Gu Ye... how is he?"

Liuli quickly replied, "The general is alright now. Doctor Zhang has already detoxified him. Madam, please don't worry, get some rest."

Murong Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again. "I need to go see him."

She tried to get up, but felt dizzy as soon as she moved. Liuli quickly supported her, "Madam, you can't get up now. The doctor said you have cold air entering your body and need to rest and recuperate."

Murong Xuewei bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes. She knew Liuli was right, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

Just then, Doctor Zhang walked in. He carefully took Murong Xuewei's pulse, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Madam, you've caught a bit of a chill this time. Coupled with not sleeping all night, your body is severely exhausted. You'll probably need a long period of recuperation, otherwise..." Doctor Zhang hesitated, then stopped.

Murong Xuewei keenly sensed something and pressed for an answer: "Otherwise what?"

Dr. Zhang sighed, "I'm afraid it will affect your future offspring."

These words struck Murong Xuewei like a bolt from the blue, leaving her frozen in place.

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei in surprise, unsure how to comfort her.

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

“I understand, thank you Dr. Zhang,” she said calmly.

After giving some instructions, Dr. Zhang left. Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei with concern and asked cautiously, "Madam, are you... alright?"

Murong Xuewei gave a wry smile. "What could have happened? It's just fate playing another joke on me."

Liuli sensed the bitterness in her voice and couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what exactly happened between you and the General in the forest? Why did you suddenly encounter assassins?"

Murong Xuewei remained silent for a moment, but finally decided to tell Liuli.

Murong Xuewei briefly recounted how she encountered the assassin in the forest and how she and Gu Ye escaped.

"Gu Ye blocked that poisoned arrow to save me..." Murong Xuewei's voice trembled slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Liuli was both shocked and moved after hearing this. She couldn't help but say, "The general's love for his wife is truly profound."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuewei felt even more conflicted. Her rebirth was originally for revenge, and her relationship with Gu Ye was merely a temporary measure.

But in this life-or-death situation, Gu Ye's actions made her waver.

"Liuli, tell me... what exactly is between Gu Ye and me?" Murong Xuewei asked in a low voice, as if she were asking herself.

Liuli paused for a moment, then carefully replied, "Madam and the General are husband and wife. This time, the General almost lost his life to save Madam. Doesn't that show his true love for Madam? Okay?"

Murong Xuewei gave a bitter smile. "Husband and wife? Our marriage was a transaction from the very beginning. He needed my family's wealth, and I needed his protection. But now..."

Murong Xuewei didn't continue speaking, but the confusion and bewilderment in her eyes became even more obvious.

The faint candlelight flickered in the dim room, illuminating Gu Ye's pale face. He slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returning. Uncle Lin was sitting by the bed, looking at him with a serious expression.

"Uncle Lin..." Gu Ye spoke weakly, his voice hoarse, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Uncle Lin quickly got up and poured Gu Ye a glass of water. "General, you've been unconscious for three days. Fortunately, Doctor Zhang's medical skills are superb, and he was able to detoxify you in time."

Gu Ye struggled to sit up, took the water glass, and sipped it slowly. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked anxiously, "Where's Xue Wei? How is she?"

Uncle Lin's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. "Madam is fine; she was just a little frightened."

Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but his intuition told him that Uncle Lin was hiding something.

Gu Ye was about to press further when Uncle Lin changed the subject, "General, you've just woken up, you should rest for a while. I'll go inform Madam right away; I'm sure she'll be very happy to know you're awake."

Gu Ye nodded, watching Uncle Lin's hurried departure, but a sense of unease rose in his heart.

Gu Ye closed his eyes, recalling that moment in the icy pool, the panicked look in Murong Xuewei's eyes and her trembling voice still seemed to echo in his ears.

“Xuewei…” he murmured to himself, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

Meanwhile, Murong Xuewei was sitting alone in the pavilion in the courtyard, gazing absently at the garden in the distance.

Liuli approached carrying a bowl of herbal medicine and softly called out, "Madam, it's time to drink your medicine."

Murong Xuewei snapped out of her daze and forced a smile. "Liuli, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid the General and I..."

Liuli spat forcefully a few times, "Pah, pah, Madam, don't say such discouraging things."

Liuli handed the bowl to Murong Xuewei, saying, "This is a new prescription from Doctor Zhang, which he says is good for regulating the body."

Murong Xuewei took the medicine bowl; the bitter taste filled her mouth, but it couldn't compare to the bitterness in her heart.

Murong Xuewei felt her heart ache as she recalled the doctor's diagnosis. Reborn, she had hoped for revenge, but fate had played another cruel trick on her. Perhaps she was destined to be alone, her fate sealed.

Just then, Uncle Lin rushed over, "Madam, the General has woken up."

Murong Xuewei looked up abruptly, a flicker of surprise crossing her eyes, but it quickly faded. Forcing herself to remain calm, she said softly, "I understand, I'll go check right away."

Standing up, Murong Xuewei took a deep breath and straightened her clothes. She turned to Liuli and said, "Go prepare some light porridge; the General has just woken up and needs to eat."

Liuli responded and left, while Murong Xuewei followed Uncle Lin towards Gu Ye's courtyard. On the way, Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "Madam, the General is very worried about you."

Murong Xuewei paused slightly, but quickly resumed her composure. "I understand."

When she reached Gu Ye's door, Murong Xuewei stopped, took a deep breath, composed herself, and then pushed the door open to enter.

Hearing footsteps, Gu Ye immediately turned to look at the door. A flicker of joy crossed his eyes when he saw Murong Xuewei. "Xuewei, you've come."

Murong Xuewei walked to the bedside and, forcing herself to remain calm, said, "I heard you were awake, so I came to see you. How are you feeling?"

Gu Ye carefully examined Murong Xuewei and noticed that her face was pale and her eyes showed signs of fatigue. His heart tightened, and he asked, "I'm fine, but how are you recovering?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I'm just a little worried about you."

Gu Ye reached out to hold Murong Xuewei's hand, but found that she subtly dodged away.
