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

News from the frontier spreads as fast as the wind.

The news that Murong Xuewei had come to the frontier with Gu Ye quickly spread throughout the entire military camp.

Upon learning of this news, Deputy General Zhang Hong immediately convened a meeting of his generals to discuss the matter.

"Gentlemen, General Gu's wife has also arrived at the frontier. How should we receive her?" Zhang Hong looked around, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.

A young general stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, and said, “Vice General, in my opinion, we should host a banquet to entertain her. This is our General’s wife! I’m sure everyone knows how good the General has been to us!”

Zhang Hong nodded, then looked at the others, "Does anyone else have any thoughts?"

At this moment, a middle-aged general spoke up, "Deputy General Zhang, I do have a concern. Your wife is, after all, a young lady from a wealthy family, pampered and sheltered. I'm afraid she'll find it difficult to adapt to life here."

Zhang Hong frowned slightly upon hearing this. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "What you all say makes sense. How about this: let's first host a banquet to entertain her and use the opportunity to observe this lady. If she truly is not suited for life on the frontier, then we'll find a way to persuade General Gu to send her back to the capital."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Just then, a commotion arose outside the tent.

A soldier rushed in, clasped his hands in a fist and reported, "Reporting to the deputy general, General Gu and his wife have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong immediately stood up and led his generals out to greet them.

Outside the tent, Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei stood side by side. Murong Xuewei wore an elegant long dress, her hair styled in a high bun, and her expression was composed. Her eyes were clear and sharp, showing no sign of fatigue from the long journey.

Zhang Hong stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "This humble general, Zhang Hong, respectfully welcomes General Gu and his wife."

Gu Ye nodded slightly, then introduced, "This is Deputy General Zhang, a capable officer in the frontier army."

Murong Xuewei gave an elegant bow, her voice clear and melodious, "Vice General Zhang, you are too kind. I've heard that the soldiers on the frontier are all brave and skilled in battle; seeing them today, I can confirm that their reputation is well-deserved."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong's eyes lit up. He had assumed Murong Xuewei would be a pampered young lady from a wealthy family, but he hadn't expected her to be so well-mannered.

Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Madam, you flatter me. The frontier environment is harsh; I wonder if Miss is getting used to it?"

Murong Xuewei smiled calmly, "What does it matter whether I get used to it or not? Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. Besides, the soldiers on the frontier are guarding the country; what does my slight discomfort matter?"

These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present. Zhang Hong nodded secretly, his impression of Murong Xuewei improving even further.

Zhang Hong turned to Gu Ye and said respectfully, "General, I have prepared a welcome banquet. Would you do me the honor of joining me?"

Gu Ye glanced at Murong Xuewei, and seeing her nod slightly, he replied, "Then I'll have to trouble Vice General Zhang."

At the banquet, toasts were exchanged and the atmosphere was lively. Murong Xuewei's graceful demeanor and eloquent speech quickly won the favor of the generals.

She was not only able to discuss the situation on the frontier with everyone, but also had unique insights into military supplies, which impressed the generals present.

After a few rounds of drinks, a young general couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what are your thoughts on our frontier troops?"

Murong Xuewei put down her wine cup, her gaze sharp. "The soldiers on the frontier are all heroes. But I've observed that your weapons and equipment seem to have room for improvement. If you could improve the range and accuracy of your bows and arrows, you would surely gain a greater advantage on the battlefield."

These words immediately sparked a flurry of surprised discussion. Zhang Hong looked at Murong Xuewei thoughtfully, secretly marveling at her.

Zhang Hong never expected that this seemingly delicate young lady from a prominent family would have such insightful views.

After the banquet, Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei returned to their temporary accommodation.

Inside the room, Gu Ye finally shed his general's imposing demeanor and asked with concern, "Xuewei, are you alright? The environment on the frontier is very different from the capital. If you're not used to it, I can arrange for someone to send you back."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuewei's lips curled into a slight smile. "Gu Ye, you underestimate me. Since I, Murong Xuewei, have decided to come to the frontier with you, I will not back down easily. Besides, isn't it my duty to follow my husband's lead?"

Gu Ye felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"General Gu, I've brought you some fruit." A sweet voice rang out, and then the door was pushed open.

The woman who entered was the daughter of the deputy general, Sang Jiayi.

Sang Jiayi held a plate of fruit, smiling as she looked at Gu Ye, but her gaze kept drifting towards Murong Xuewei.

"Miss Sang, thank you for your kindness," Gu Ye said politely, without intending to accept the fruit.

Sang Jiayi seemed unconcerned. She placed the fruit on the table, then turned to Murong Xuewei, her tone tinged with disdain, "Madam, I wonder if you're getting used to life on the frontier? It's nothing like the luxurious life in the capital."

Murong Xuewei smiled calmly, looking at Sang Jiayi with a composed gaze. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Sang. Although the frontier is harsh, the spirit of the soldiers who defend the country far surpasses the prosperity of the capital. I think life here is more meaningful."

Sang Jiayi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. She hadn't expected Murong Xuewei to say such a thing. She forced a smile and said, "Madam is indeed magnanimous. However, the weather on the frontier is unpredictable, and the food is rather coarse. If you feel unwell, please let me know, and I will do my best to help."

These words sound like concern, but they actually contain a hidden veil of sarcasm.

Murong Xuewei remained unmoved, maintaining her elegant smile. "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Sang. I believe that as long as one has faith in their heart, even the greatest difficulties can be overcome."

Seeing that her words had failed to elicit a reaction from Murong Xuewei, Sang Jiayi felt a surge of annoyance. Just as she was about to say something more, Gu Ye spoke up, "Miss Sang, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Sang Jiayi understood the implication in Gu Ye's words that he wanted her to leave, so she had no choice but to bid him farewell and leave reluctantly.

After Sang Jiayi left, Murong Xuewei chuckled, "How interesting. In the capital, we were treated as uncouth frontier people. Now that we're on the frontier, we're treated as delicate capital city people."

Gu Ye smiled upon hearing this, "Sang Jiayi's words may not be pleasant to hear, but she makes a valid point. Life on the frontier is indeed tough, you really don't need to force yourself."

Murong Xuewei felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Gu Ye's concerned gaze. She said softly, "General, don't worry. Since I, Murong Xuewei, have chosen you, I will not back down easily. Besides, life on the frontier is also a kind of experience for me."

Gu Ye was both moved and worried upon hearing this. He knew of Murong Xuewei's strength, but the environment on the frontier was indeed harsh.

Gu Ye secretly made up his mind to take good care of Xue Wei and not let her suffer any grievances.
