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

"Then let's do as you say." The emperor's lips curled into a hypocritical smile.

Xiao Wan Ning was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Your Majesty, I obey your command," Xiao Wan Ning said respectfully.

The Emperor waved his hand: "Go and make the arrangements."

Xiao Wan Ning bowed and withdrew, a smug smile appearing on her lips.

Xiao Wan Ning walked quickly out of the palace, and looked back at the palace gate.

"The plan is half successful. Now it depends on how Nan Zhao performs," ​​Xiao Wan Ning murmured.

Meanwhile, Murong Xuewei led Liuli to a secluded teahouse to wait.

Murong Xuewei looked around warily to make sure there were no suspicious people.

A simply dressed woman with her face covered walked in and slowly approached Murong Xuewei.

"Madam, may I share a table with you?"

Liuli was about to shoo them away when she said, "Madam, it's not very convenient for us to wait here. Could you please..."

Murong Xuewei waved her hand to interrupt Liuli, "It's convenient, madam, please have a seat here."

Qin'er sat down next to Murong Xuewei and whispered, "Madam, I have important news."

Murong Xuewei raised her hand to stop Qin'er, picked up the teapot beside her, and poured Qin'er a cup of tea: "No rush, have a cup of tea first."

Murong Xuewei gave Liuli a look, and Liuli walked away on her own, pretending to urge the food to arrive, and walked around the store to see if Qin'er was being followed.

Murong Xuewei handed the teacup to Qin'er, "Now, tell me!"

Qin'er looked around to make sure no one was watching before she spoke.

“***Secondly met with a man in black,” she said in a low voice.

A hint of surprise flashed in Murong Xuewei's eyes: "Did you get a good look at that person?"

Qin'er shook her head: "That person was completely wrapped in a black robe, so I couldn't see their face."

Murong Xuewei pressed further, "What did they say?"

Qin'er recalled, "I only heard a few fragments of words."

She continued, "It seems they're talking about Nangong Yifeng's capture."

Murong Xuewei asked thoughtfully, "Is there anything else?"

Qin'er tried hard to recall: "It seems like they also mentioned exchanging cities and starting a war."

Murong Xuewei's eyes sharpened: "Exchange cities? Start a war?"

Qin'er nodded: "That's right, but I didn't hear the specifics clearly."

Murong Xuewei pondered for a moment, feeling that Xiao Wanning was plotting something big, but she couldn't figure out what it was for the time being.

"It seems Xiao Wanning is planning something big," she said in a low voice.

Qin'er asked nervously, "Madam, what should we do?"

Murong Xuewei patted her hand: "Go back first and continue to observe secretly."

Murong Xuewei cautioned, "Be very careful, don't get discovered."

Qin'er nodded: "I understand, Madam, please rest assured."

Murong Xuewei stood up: "I need to tell General Gu this news right away."

Qin'er rose and curtsied, "Then this servant will take her leave."

Murong Xuewei nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."

As Qin'er left, Murong Xuewei frowned.

She walked quickly out of the teahouse, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"Xiao Wanning, what exactly do you want to do?" Murong Xuewei wondered to herself.

She quickened her pace and headed towards the general's mansion.

Murong Xuewei knew she had to tell Gu Ye the news as soon as possible.

Only in this way can they stop Xiao Wanning's conspiracy in time.

As night deepened, the general's mansion was brightly lit.

Gu Ye was waiting for news from Murong Xuewei in his study.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Murong Xuewei pushed open the door and strode in.

Gu Ye stood up and asked with concern, "How is it? Did you see Qin'er?"

Murong Xuewei nodded, a hint of urgency flashing in her eyes.

“Yes, I saw her. She brought important news,” Murong Xuewei said.

Gu Ye gestured for her to sit down: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath and told Qin'er everything she had been told.

Gu Ye frowned upon hearing this: "Crossing the city? Starting a war? What exactly is Xiao Wan Ning plotting?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head: "Qin'er didn't hear the specifics clearly."

Gu Ye stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

“Whatever she wants to do, we need to be prepared in advance,” he said.

Murong Xuewei nodded: "So what should we do next?"

Gu Ye pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Right now, Xiao Wan Ning and the others don't know we've returned to the capital, so I can use this time to investigate secretly."

He continued, "At the same time, we must closely monitor the court's movements."

Murong Xuewei stood up: "I can continue to get information through Qin'er."

Gu Ye nodded: "No, Qin'er is the biggest hidden weapon that Xiao Wan has planted. We can't let her be exposed because of such a small matter."

Murong Xuewei nodded solemnly: "Then what should we do?"

Gu Ye walked to the window and looked at the palace in the distance.

"Xuewei, hold your position for now. Announce to the public that you're cured and go to the shops to inspect as usual," he vowed to himself.

Murong Xuewei walked to Gu Ye's side and said softly, "Aren't you going to investigate Xiao Wanning's side?"

"Investigate, I'll investigate."

Gu Ye turned around and looked at Murong Xuewei's determined eyes.

He nodded: "Xiao Wanning has been trying to win you over, and when that failed, she tried to suppress you. As long as you appear in the mall, Xiao Wanning's shop will definitely run into trouble. We need to catch her off guard."

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

The two exchanged a smile, their eyes shining with determination.

The next morning, Murong Xuewei walked down the street with Liuli, looking like a victorious lion king patrolling his territory.

Murong Xuewei claimed that it was because everyone cared about her that her illness recovered so quickly.

To thank everyone, everything in the store is 30% off.

This move caused quite a stir.

This news also reached Xiao Wan Ning's ears.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Sining smashed the vase beside her once again.

"You wretch, why doesn't she just die of illness?"

Xiao Wan Ning rolled her eyes at Xiao Si Ning, "What kind of behavior is this, a princess shouting like that?"

"Sister, isn't Murong Xuewei's price reduction and discount at this time a slap in your face?"

A glint of malice flashed in Xiao Wan Ning's eyes. "Let her be smug for a while; after a while, she won't be so smug anymore."

Xiao Sining's face lit up with joy, and she moved closer to Xiao Wanning, "Elder sister, have you come up with a new idea to deal with her?"

Xiao Wan Ning glanced at Xiao Si Ning indifferently, without answering.

Gu Ye changed into casual clothes and was about to go out when Uncle Lin called him back.

"Young Master, do you have a moment now? This old servant has something I'd like to say to you."

Gu Ye glanced at Uncle Lin, "What's the matter?"

Uncle Lin gestured for Gu Ye to go to the study, "Young Master, why don't we talk in the study?"

Gu Ye hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Uncle Lin to the study.
