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

A sudden wave of intense fatigue washed over her. Murong Xuewei shook her head, her voice tinged with weariness, "Gu Ye, do we really want to continue investigating?"

Gu Ye was taken aback by her words, looking at Murong Xuewei with some confusion. "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to find out the truth?"

Murong Xuewei gave a bitter smile, "What good will it do to find out the truth? You've seen the current situation of the Taichu Kingdom: constant factional strife in the court, frequent border wars, and the people's livelihood is in ruins..." Her voice gradually lowered, and a look of pain flashed in her eyes.

Gu Ye noticed Murong Xuewei's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Xuewei, is something on your mind?"

Murong Xuewei looked up at Gu Ye, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Murong Xuewei recalled the ending of the Taichu Kingdom in her previous life, the great upheaval that swept the entire empire, and the scene of countless innocent people suffering terribly.

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath, trying to suppress the grief in her heart, and said softly, "Gu Ye, I just feel... maybe we should try a different approach."

Gu Ye frowned. "What do you mean?"

Murong Xuewei said slowly, "We've been investigating spies and fighting against conspiracies in the court, but have you ever considered what we can change even if we uncover the truth?"

Gu Ye's expression turned serious. "Xue Wei, what do you mean by this? Do you think we should just sit idly by?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head. "It's not that I'm sitting idly by, but..." She paused, seemingly struggling to find the right words, "...I'm a little tired. You're just a general responsible for leading troops into battle, while I'm just a merchant, busy making money through business. Investigating cases and saving the country isn't our business at all."

After listening, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Ye's eyes, which then turned into deep thought.

Gu Ye remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Xuewei, what you said makes a lot of sense. However, if we don't eliminate the spies in the court, all our efforts may be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuewei felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Murong Xuewei desperately wanted to tell Gu Ye that in their previous life, even though they tried their best, they ultimately failed to prevent the destruction of the Taichu Kingdom.

But Murong Xuewei knew she couldn't say it. She couldn't change too much, or it might trigger even more terrible consequences.

"Gu Ye," Murong Xuewei said softly, "let yourself go! Promise me you won't investigate anymore, okay?"

Gu Ye looked at Murong Xuewei, a hint of doubt and worry flashing in his eyes. "Xuewei, what's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly like this?"

Murong Xuewei gave a bitter smile. "I'm just tired, Gu Ye. Everything that's happened lately has left me feeling utterly exhausted."

Gu Ye approached Murong Xuewei and gently took her hand. "Xuewei, I know you're tired. But we can't give up. The Primordial Kingdom needs us."

Looking into Gu Ye's resolute eyes, Murong Xuewei was filled with mixed emotions. She so desperately wanted to tell Gu Ye the truth, to tell him about the ending of her previous life. But she knew she couldn't.

“Gu Ye,” Murong Xuewei said softly, “I know your feelings. But some things, perhaps, truly have no future.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye frowned deeply. "Xue Wei, what do you mean? Do you know something?"

Murong Xuewei was startled, then shook her head. "I don't know anything, I just have a gut feeling."

Gu Ye stared into Murong Xuewei's eyes, seemingly trying to discern something. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Xuewei, what's wrong with you? Why have you suddenly become like this?"

Murong Xuewei avoided Gu Ye's gaze and said softly, "I'm just tired, Gu Ye. Too much has happened lately, and I need some time to sort out my thoughts."

Gu Ye remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. Suddenly, he looked up and asked, "Xue Wei, do you know something? About the future of the Primordial Kingdom, or our current predicament?"

Murong Xuewei was startled, but remained calm on the surface. She gently shook her head, "I don't know anything, Gu Ye. I just feel that what we're doing now might not be the best choice."

Gu Ye stared intently into Murong Xuewei's eyes, seemingly trying to discern something. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Xuewei, if you have any concerns, or know anything, you can tell me. We are husband and wife; we should trust each other."

Murong Xuewei felt a pang of pain in her heart upon hearing this. How she longed to tell Gu Ye the truth, to tell him that she had been reborn, and to tell him about the fate of the Taichu Kingdom in her previous life.

But she knew she couldn't. It wasn't just about her revenge plan; it was about the fate of the entire Primordial Kingdom.

“Gu Ye,” Murong Xuewei said softly, “I really don’t know anything. I just feel that we should focus our energy on more important things. For example, how to improve people’s livelihoods and how to strengthen the nation. These are the real ways to make the Taichu Kingdom powerful.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye's eyes flashed with surprise, quickly turning into deep contemplation. He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Xue Wei, what you say makes a lot of sense. However, if we don't eliminate the spies in the court, all our efforts may be in vain."

Hearing this, Murong Xuewei felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. How she wanted to tell Gu Ye that in her previous life, even though they had tried their best, they still couldn't prevent the destruction of the Taichu Kingdom.

But she knew she couldn't say it. She couldn't change too much, or it might trigger even more terrible consequences.

“Gu Ye,” Murong Xuewei said softly, “I know your feelings. But sometimes, the more we investigate, the deeper we get into a quagmire. Perhaps we should put these things aside for now and focus on the more pressing matters at hand.”

Gu Ye looked at Murong Xuewei, a hint of doubt and worry flashing in his eyes. "Xuewei, what's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly like this? You weren't like this before."

Murong Xuewei felt a pang of pain in her heart; she knew Gu Ye was right. She hadn't always been like this.

But that's because she hasn't experienced the tragic ending of her previous life.

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions. "Gu Ye, people always change. The more experiences they have, the different their perspectives become."

Gu Ye stared into Murong Xuewei's eyes, seemingly trying to discern something. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Xuewei, if anything is on your mind, you can tell me. We are husband and wife; we should trust each other and face things together."

Murong Xuewei felt a surge of emotion upon hearing this. How she longed to tell Gu Ye the truth, to tell him all her secrets. But she knew she couldn't. At least not now.

“Gu Ye,” Murong Xuewei said softly, “I’m really just tired. So much has happened lately, and I need some time to sort out my thoughts. Can you give me some time?”

Seeing Murong Xuewei's exhausted appearance, Gu Ye's heart softened. He gently took her hand and said softly, "Okay, I'll give you time. But Xuewei, remember, no matter what happens, I will always be on your side."

Murong Xuewei felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this. She nodded gently, "Thank you, Gu Ye."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside. Uncle Lin rushed in, his face showing anxiety.

"Ye, Madam," Uncle Lin said in a low voice, "I just received news that another major event has occurred in the court."

Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes. Gu Ye asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

Uncle Lin lowered his voice and said, "It is said that someone is spreading rumors in the court that the general is colluding with the Nanzhao Kingdom and intends to rebel."
