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

Murong Xuewei knew that in this place, she would not only have to face Sang Jiayi's difficult behavior, but also be constantly on guard against those who harbored ill intentions towards her.

As the days went by, Sang Jiayi's harassment of Murong Xuewei did not stop.

The food delivered each time was barely edible, and even the most basic daily necessities were of poor quality.

Murong Xuewei did not complain to Gu Ye, knowing that as a general, Gu Ye had more important matters to attend to.

Besides, it's just some food. If she, as the eldest daughter of the Murong family, can't even handle such a small matter, then she's wasted all these years in the business world.

That day, when yet another unpalatable meal was served, Murong Xuewei finally made up her mind.

Murong Xuewei stood up and said to her maid, "Please tell the general that I'm going to stay in the city."

The maid looked at Murong Xuewei in surprise, "Madam, are you leaving here?"

Murong Xuewei nodded. "Since some people here don't welcome me, I'll go somewhere that does."

Murong Xuewei found a decent inn in the city.

This inn happens to be owned by the Murong family. Although business isn't great due to its remote location on the frontier, it's quiet and peaceful.

Little did she know that Sang Jiayi had seen all of Murong Xuewei's actions.

Murong Xuewei had just settled down when Sang Jiayi stormed in angrily.

"Murong Xuewei!" Sang Jiayi said angrily, "How dare you leave the military camp without permission!"

Murong Xuewei looked at her quietly, her face expressionless. "Miss Sang, whether I leave or not seems to be none of your business."

Enraged by her attitude, Sang Jiayi raised her voice, "Do you know how much trouble your actions will cause the General? Who do you think you are? You're just a weak woman relying on the General's protection!"

A flash of coldness crossed Murong Xuewei's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Miss Sang, I think you may have misunderstood something. I'm here to take care of the General, not to cause him trouble. As for the protection you mentioned, that's true, but as his wife, isn't it only right that he protects me?"

Sang Jiayi sneered, "What do you mean?"

The innkeeper hurried in, carrying an account book. "Madam, this is the account you requested. Please take a look."

Murong Xuewei took the ledger, flipped through it casually, and then handed it to Sang Jiayi. "I forgot to tell you, my surname is Murong, the richest merchant in the Taichu Kingdom. As for this inn, it's my Murong family's property. I stay here paying for it myself. Even the expenses of the General's Mansion, which you mentioned, have always been paid for by me."

Sang Jiayi flipped through the ledgers in disbelief, her face growing increasingly grim.

Sang Jiayi never expected that this seemingly weak woman would possess such substantial wealth.

"You...you..." Sang Jiayi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Murong Xuewei said calmly, "Miss Sang, I know you have a prejudice against me. But please remember, I, Murong Xuewei, am not a pushover. I am here to accompany the General, not to be humiliated."

Sang Jiayi bit her lip, a glint of resentment flashing in her eyes. She suddenly turned and left, leaving behind a harsh threat, "Murong Xuewei, you just wait!"

Watching Sang Jiayi's departing figure, a cold glint flashed in Murong Xuewei's eyes.

They left already? They really are like children!

In the stillness of the night, Murong Xuewei stood by the window, gazing at the city walls that were faintly visible in the darkness in the distance.

A sudden feeling of loneliness welled up in her heart.

In this unfamiliar place, she had no relatives, no friends, and even her only support, her husband, had become estranged for various reasons. She couldn't help but recall her past life, and those painful memories flooded back like a tide.

“No,” Murong Xuewei whispered to herself, “I cannot be weak. I was reborn to change everything. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will persevere.”

Just then, hurried footsteps approached. A maid rushed into the room, "Madam, the General is here!"

Murong Xuewei was slightly taken aback, then straightened her clothes and walked out of the room.

Gu Ye stood in the courtyard, his face grim. Seeing Murong Xuewei, he strode forward. "Xuewei, why did you move out?"

Murong Xuewei calmly replied, "It's nothing. I'm tired of fighting with Xiao Wanning and the others in the capital. I don't want to fight anymore here. I just want some peace and quiet."

Gu Ye frowned. "Fight? Did Jia Yi cause you trouble again?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head. "It's just some young girl's naiveté. I don't want to distract you with such trivial matters."

Gu Ye stared into Murong Xuewei's eyes and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Gu Ye reached out to touch Murong Xuewei's face, but stopped in mid-air.

"Xuewei, I'm sorry," Gu Ye said softly, "I failed to take good care of you."

Murong Xuewei forced a smile. "General, there's no need to blame yourself. We each have our own responsibilities, and I understand your difficulties."

Gu Ye gave Murong Xuewei a deep look, then suddenly said, "Xuewei, come back with me. I'll discipline Jiayi properly."

Murong Xuewei shook her head. "General, I'm doing fine here. You don't need to worry about me."

Gu Ye was about to say something when a commotion suddenly erupted outside. A soldier rushed in, "General, there's unusual activity at the border again! Return to camp immediately!"

Gu Ye's expression instantly turned serious. He glanced at Murong Xuewei, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and left.

Watching Gu Ye's departing figure, a complex emotion flashed in Murong Xuewei's eyes.

Murong Xuewei knew that in this chaotic world, everyone had their own mission and responsibility.

Murong Xuewei cannot become a burden to Gu Ye, nor can she allow her revenge plan to be affected.

Just then, Murong Xuewei noticed a dark figure flash by in the corner of the courtyard. She narrowed her eyes, alarm bells ringing in her mind.

"Who?" Murong Xuewei walked towards the shadowy figure but found nothing. "I didn't expect someone to be watching me at this border."

Murong Xuewei hadn't found anyone and was about to return to her room when a dark figure appeared behind her.

The man in black raised his hand and chopped down at Murong Xuewei's neck, but Murong Xuewei smiled and dodged to the side.

Murong Xuewei coldly looked at the person in front of her, "Tell me, who sent you?"

Seeing that Murong Xuewei had dodged, the man in black immediately reached out to grab her.

Using the terrain, Murong Xuewei crouched down and dodged again.

While dodging, Murong Xuewei wondered who was trying to harm her.

Logically, with Liuli and Uncle Lin in the capital, Xiao Wanning and Xiao Sining shouldn't be aware that they've left the capital.
