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

Murong Xuewei felt her rationality crumbling little by little.

Just then, Liuli's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, something terrible has happened! All the doctors in the city are not here; it seems they've been deliberately sent away!"

Murong Xuewei was startled and immediately realized that this was done intentionally.

Murong Xuewei gritted her teeth and made up her mind, "Liuli, you go and guard the door, don't let anyone in!"

“Yes, Madam,” Liuli replied, though she had some doubts, she did as instructed.

Inside the room, Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye, who was in pain, and her heart was filled with conflict.

Murong Xuewei knew that the only way to help Gu Ye now was... She took a deep breath and whispered, "Gu Ye, you'll be good to me for the rest of your life, right?"

Gu Ye seemed to understand her words, and a glimmer of clarity flashed in his eyes.

Gu Ye said with difficulty, "Xuewei, I swear that you are the only one for me in this life. If I break this vow, may I die a horrible death."

Murong Xuewei covered Gu Ye's mouth to stop him from speaking, then let go and kissed him.

The time that followed seemed to stretch out countless times. The two were immersed in an ocean of emotions, forgetting the passage of time.

Only rapid breathing and soft murmurs remained in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Ye finally regained consciousness. Looking at Murong Xuewei in his arms, his eyes were filled with guilt and gratitude. "Xuewei, I..."

Murong Xuewei gently placed her finger on Gu Ye's lips, stopping him from saying anything more. "Don't say anything. It's good that you're alright."

Gu Ye grasped Murong Xuewei's hand and solemnly said, "Xuewei, I swear, from this day forward, I, Gu Ye, will only love you for the rest of my life. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side."

Hearing this, Murong Xuewei felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She nestled gently in Gu Ye's arms and whispered, "I believe you, Gu Ye."

The two slept in each other's arms, as if the whole world consisted only of each other. However, they were unaware that a much larger storm was brewing.

The next morning, Gu Ye had just returned to the military camp when he received a shocking message: his deputy general, Sang Jiayi, had been kidnapped by the enemy!

"What happened?" Gu Ye demanded sharply. "Wasn't Sang Jiayi always in the military camp? How could she have been captured by the enemy?"

Zhang Hong reported with a face full of guilt, "General, last night Madam Sang said she wanted to go out for a walk, and we...we didn't take any precautions..."

Gu Ye frowned, deep in thought, sensing something was amiss. But now wasn't the time to assign blame; he immediately ordered, "Assemble the elite troops, we're going to rescue them!"

Soon, an elite squad, led by Gu Ye, quietly infiltrated the enemy camp. Under the cover of night, they successfully located Sang Jiayi, who was being held captive.

"Jiayi, are you alright?" Gu Ye asked in a low voice.

When Sang Jiayi saw Gu Ye, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she rushed towards him, exclaiming, "Brother Gu, you're finally here!"

Gu Ye signaled his men to rescue Sang Jiayi, and then quickly retreated.

The whole process went surprisingly smoothly, with almost no obstacles encountered.

This deepened Gu Ye's suspicions.

Back at the military camp, Gu Ye was about to ask Sang Jiayi for details about her arrest when she suddenly knelt down, sobbing uncontrollably, "Brother Gu, please do me justice!"

Gu Ye was taken aback. "Jiayi, get up first and talk this out properly."

Sang Jiayi raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Gu, I...I was betrayed by Madam! She colluded with the enemy to lure me out!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Gu Ye's face instantly turned ashen. "What did you say?"

Sang Jiayi continued sobbing, "It's true! Last night, Madam asked me to go out, saying she had something important to tell me. I believed her, but who knew I'd be captured by enemy troops as soon as I left the city! Brother Gu, you must help me!"

A storm raged within Gu Ye. Recalling everything that had happened last night, he couldn't help but wonder: could that cup of tea, that medicine... had all been premeditated?

Just then, a soldier rushed in to report, "General, we've discovered..." The soldier glanced up at Murong Xuewei, "...the lady's personal maid, Liuli!"

This news was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Gu Ye's heart hard.

Gu Ye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to stay calm.

"Go, bring the lady here," Gu Ye coldly ordered.

A short while later, Murong Xuewei was brought to the military camp. She saw Sang Jiayi kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Gu Ye with a gloomy face, wondering what had happened.

"What's wrong?" Murong Xuewei asked calmly.

"Jiayi was kidnapped last night."

Murong Xuewei glanced at Sang Jiayi sitting to the side, "Then she's not injured, is she?"

Gu Ye shook his head. "Jiayi said you colluded with the enemy and kidnapped her."

Murong Xuewei was taken aback at first, then looked at Sang Jiayi with a cold smile, "You say I kidnapped you, do you have any evidence?"

Looking into Murong Xuewei's eyes, Gu Ye recalled the vow he made last night, and his heart wavered. But the evidence all seemed to point to Murong Xuewei, forcing him to have doubts.

"Then explain why your personal maid, Liuli, was near the enemy camp?" Sang Jiayi retorted, glaring at Murong Xuewei defiantly.

Murong Xuewei sneered, "Gu Ye, do you think I'd be foolish enough to send my personal maid into the enemy camp? If I really wanted to collude with the enemy, why would I leave such obvious traces?"

Gu Ye was taken aback. Indeed, with Murong Xuewei's intelligence, it was impossible for her to make such a basic mistake.

Murong Xuewei continued, "Besides, I was taking care of you all night, how could I possibly have had time to do these things?"

A huge wave of emotion surged within Gu Ye. He looked at Sang Jiayi and suddenly asked, "Jiayi, what exactly was the time when Murong Xuewei asked you out?"

Sang Jiayi was speechless for a moment, stammering and unable to speak.

Gu Ye's eyes sharpened instantly. "Sang Jiayi, you'd better think carefully before you speak. If I find out you're lying, the consequences will be severe."

Seeing Gu Ye's gaze, Sang Jiayi turned to look at Liuli behind Murong Xuewei. "It's her, yes, it's Murong Xuewei. She told the maid to come looking for me. I must have been mistaken. Besides, I personally witnessed her interacting with enemy soldiers."

"Sang Jiayi, say it again, what did you see with your own eyes?" Gu Ye's voice was low and dangerous, each word like a cold icy blade scraping against the hearts of everyone present.

Sang Jiayi raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, her voice trembling, "General, everything I said is true. I personally witnessed Liuli meeting secretly with enemy soldiers outside the city and exchanging a letter. Perhaps they discovered me when I was about to return to report, which is why Murong Xuewei had me arrested."
