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

"Sending it off so openly, isn't that just telling the spies to send someone to steal it?" Nangong Yifeng asked, somewhat puzzled.

Murong Xuewei's lips suddenly curled into a smile, "My cousin probably means he wants them to steal it."

Murong Yuxuan smiled, "As expected of my sister, she really understands me."

"But I'm currently in the capital. If this memorial is submitted, wouldn't that be announcing to the world that I've returned?"

Gu Ye's words immediately silenced everyone present.

Inside the study, the flickering candlelight illuminated several solemn faces.

Gu Ye stood by the window, his gaze deep, as if he were pondering something.

Murong Xuewei sat to the side, her slender fingers unconsciously tapping the table, revealing her inner anxiety.

Nangong Yifeng and Murong Yuxuan stood at opposite corners of the room, each lost in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, Murong Xuewei broke the silence. Her voice, though soft, was exceptionally clear in the quiet room: "I have an idea."

All eyes were on her. Gu Ye turned around, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Tell me."

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath and slowly revealed her plan: "We can utilize the Murong family's transportation capabilities. We can send the memorials to a city along our inevitable return route, and then send them back in a grand display. That way, even if someone tries to intercept the memorials, they won't suspect that the General has already returned to the capital."

Gu Ye's eyes lit up. He quickly walked to Murong Xuewei's side and gently patted her shoulder: "Good idea. This will not only ensure the safety of the memorials, but also provide an opportunity to find the spies who stole them."

Murong Yuxuan nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed a good plan. But we still need to consider one more question: Who will carry out this mission?"

Silence fell in the room again. Everyone was weighing the possible candidates. Just then, Murong Xuewei spoke up: "Let Liuli deliver it."

Nangong Yifeng was somewhat surprised: "Liuli? Isn't she your personal maid?"

Murong Xuewei smiled slightly: "It's precisely because she's my personal maid that she won't arouse suspicion. Besides, Liuli is clever and quick-witted, and she's very cautious in her actions."

Gu Ye nodded in agreement: "Okay, it's decided then." With that, he took out paper and pen and began to draft the memorial. For a moment, only the sound of the brush scratching on the rice paper could be heard in the room.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Murong Xuewei discreetly observed the others in the room. Her gaze finally settled on Nangong Yifeng. Suddenly, a question popped into her mind.

“Nangong Yifeng,” Murong Xuewei called softly, “I have a question for you.”

Nangong Yifeng turned his head, a puzzled expression on his face: "What's the problem?"

Murong Xuewei looked directly into his eyes and slowly asked, "Have you and my cousin Murong Yuxuan known each other for a long time?"

This question is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Nangong Yifeng's expression instantly became complicated. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

However, at that moment, Murong Yuxuan suddenly spoke, interrupting Nangong Yifeng's words: "Xuewei, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Murong Xuewei turned her gaze to Murong Yuxuan, a sharp glint in her eyes: "I'm just curious. After all, Nangong is the sixth prince of Qu Kingdom, while you grew up in the capital. You two shouldn't have had the chance to meet."

Murong Yuxuan smiled, his tone relaxed: "Actually, it's like this. A few years ago, when I was traveling, I met Nangong by chance. We had a very pleasant conversation and became friends."

Nangong Yifeng nodded quickly: "That's right, exactly."

Murong Xuewei outwardly appeared to understand, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

But Murong Xuewei knew very well that Murong Yuxuan had never left the capital since he and his uncle were placed under house arrest ten years ago. How could he possibly have gone out to travel?

However, she didn't expose Murong Yuxuan's lie. Instead, she smiled and said, "I see. It seems you two are destined to meet."

Just then, Gu Ye put down his brush: "The memorial is finished."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn back to the task at hand. Murong Xuewei took the memorial, read it carefully, and then handed it to Liuli.

“Remember,” Murong Xuewei instructed, “be careful. If you encounter anything suspicious, report back immediately.”

Liuli nodded solemnly, then turned and left the study.

With Liuli gone, the atmosphere in the room became heavy again. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts, wondering what might happen next.

Murong Xuewei excused herself, saying she was a little tired, and left the study first.

She returned to her room, closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long sigh.

The conversation they had just had was still echoing in her mind. Murong Yuxuan's lie and Nangong Yifeng's reaction both made her uneasy.

Murong Xuewei knew that in this world full of conspiracies, everyone had their own secrets. However, when these secrets involved her closest people, she felt a pang of heartache.

Murong Xuewei walked to the window and gazed at the moonlight outside. She recalled her past life and the purpose of her rebirth.

Revenge was the only driving force that had kept her going. But now, she found herself in a much more complicated situation.

She didn't know what Murong Yuxuan was hiding, nor did she know if there were any secrets between Nangong Yifeng and Gu Ye. These unknowns terrified her, but at the same time, they aroused her curiosity.

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath and silently made a decision in her heart. She had to find out the truth. Whatever the truth was, she had to face it. Because only in this way could she truly control her own destiny.

Just then, a soft footstep sound came from the doorway. Murong Xuewei turned around alertly and saw Nangong Yifeng standing there.

"Xue Wei," Nangong Yifeng said softly, "can we talk?"

Murong Xuewei nodded, gesturing for him to come in. Nangong Yifeng closed the door, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Regarding the question you asked earlier..."

Murong Xuewei interrupted him: "You don't need to explain. I know everyone has their own secrets."

Nangong Yifeng looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "However, I don't want to hide anything from you."

Murong Xuewei gave him a deep look: "Then tell me the truth. What exactly is your relationship with Murong Yuxuan?"

Nangong Yifeng was silent for a moment, then finally sighed: "Murong Yuxuan and I have indeed known each other for a long time. But it wasn't as he said, that we met during our travels."

Murong Xuewei's heart skipped a beat: "How did they meet?"

Nangong Yifeng hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "It was during a secret political meeting. At the time, I represented the Qu Kingdom, while Murong Yuxuan..."
