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

Murong Xuewei got up early in the morning.

"Madam, something terrible has happened!" Liuli rushed in anxiously to report, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

Murong Xuewei helped Liuli, who had rushed in, "What's the rush? Tell me slowly."

"Madam, this morning there were rumors circulating that Nangong Yifeng started the war at the border because someone stole his sweetheart." Liuli paused, then added hesitantly, "Moreover, those rumors seem to be directed at you, Madam."

"They came for me?" Murong Xuewei looked at Liuli with suspicion.

Liuli nodded and continued, "I don't know why, but the story of how you met Nangong Yifeng while doing business in Qu Kingdom got out, and then somehow it became that Nangong Yifeng started a war for you."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Murong Xuewei's eyes. She chuckled lightly, her tone laced with sarcasm: "Truly impressive. I wonder which master craftsman could fabricate such a 'moving' story."

Seeing this, Liuli cautiously asked, "Madam, should we do something?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head, a resolute glint in her eyes: "No need for now. Rumors stop with the wise; let's just observe and see."

Murong Xuewei turned and walked towards the dressing table to begin preparing for today's shop inspection.

However, when she saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Memories of her past life flooded back, reminding her of the massacre that wiped out her entire family and her original intention for being reborn.

"Revenge..." Murong Xuewei murmured to herself, "I was reborn for revenge. I never imagined I'd find myself in such a predicament."

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "No, this is not the time to be weak. I must stay calm and find out who's behind this."

Just then, Gu Ye pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Murong Xuewei looking thoughtful, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Xuewei, are you alright?"

Murong Xuewei snapped out of her reverie and forced a smile: "I'm fine. I was just wondering where these rumors came from."

Gu Ye frowned deeply: "I've already sent people to investigate. Whoever is behind this, I will find them and make them pay the price."

Looking into Gu Ye's determined eyes, Murong Xuewei felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She knew that no matter what happened, Gu Ye would stand by her side.

However, she also felt a pang of guilt. She had too many secrets she hadn't told Gu Ye, including the fact that she had been reborn and her revenge plan.

“Thank you, General,” Murong Xuewei said softly. “However, I think the most important thing right now is to remain calm. I plan to inspect the shops as usual today and see how things are.”

Gu Ye asked with some concern, "Are you sure? The rumors circulating outside..."

Murong Xuewei interrupted him, "That's precisely why I need to go out. If I stay hidden in the manor, wouldn't that just confirm those rumors?"

Looking into Murong Xuewei's determined eyes, Gu Ye finally nodded: "Alright. But I'll send someone to protect you secretly."

Murong Xuewei nodded with a smile, but inwardly she was on guard.

Murong Xuewei knew that the days ahead would be a tough battle.

After leaving the house, Murong Xuewei suppressed her inner unease and walked calmly down the street.

However, she soon discovered that the situation was much worse than she had imagined.

The passersby looked at him with hostility and disdain, and some even pointed and whispered among themselves.

Murong Xuewei tried her best to maintain an elegant gait, but every step felt like walking on a knife's edge.

Just as she was about to reach her shop, a stench suddenly hit her.

Before she could react, a rotten egg had already hit her on the shoulder.

"You vixen! It's because of you that our Taichu Kingdom has gone to war with the Qu Kingdom!" A gruff voice came from the crowd.

Immediately following, more curses rose up:

"Restore to our Primordial Kingdom the peace and prosperity!"

"Get out of the capital!"

"Shameless woman, seducing men!"

Murong Xuewei stood there, stunned and at a loss for what to do. She had never imagined that she would be treated this way one day.

Those people who had once treated her with utmost respect were now cursing her with such vicious language.

Upon seeing this, Liuli immediately stepped in front of Murong Xuewei, her eyes wide with anger: "You unruly people, how dare you disrespect my lady!" As she spoke, she was about to step forward to teach the people a lesson.

Murong Xuewei quickly pulled Liuli back and whispered, "No."

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath, suppressing her anger and grievances, and tried to explain to the people: "Fellow villagers, there must be a misunderstanding. Nangong Yifeng and I are just ordinary friends, there's absolutely nothing between us..."

However, before she could finish speaking, another wave of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves flew over. The people clearly weren't willing to listen to her explanation and instead cursed her even more angrily.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Stop!"

Gu Ye, accompanied by several guards, quickly approached and shielded Murong Xuewei behind him.

He surveyed his surroundings, his gaze sharp as knives: "Who gave you the audacity to be so disrespectful to the General's wife?"

The people were intimidated by Gu Ye's imposing presence and took a few steps back.

But soon, someone else shouted, "General Gu, you mustn't be bewitched by this vixen! She's the culprit who caused the war between our Taichu Kingdom and the Qu Kingdom!"

Gu Ye shouted sternly, "Nonsense! My wife is a virtuous and kind woman; how dare you ignorant fools judge her? If anyone dares to spread rumors and cause trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Having said that, he turned to Murong Xuewei and said softly, "Madam, let's return to the manor."

Back at the General's mansion, Murong Xuewei finally broke down. She slumped into a chair, tears streaming down her face: "I...I never imagined such a thing would happen..."

Gu Ye tenderly pulled her into his arms, gently comforting her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will definitely find out the truth and clear your name."

Just then, Nangong Yifeng rushed over. Seeing Murong Xuewei's disheveled appearance, his heart ached: "Xuewei, I...I just heard about what happened on the street."

Murong Xuewei fought back tears and asked, "Yifeng, do you know where these rumors came from?"

Nangong Yifeng shook his head, his eyes filled with guilt: "I only heard about it today. These past few days, rumors have suddenly started circulating on the streets that I started this war because my sweetheart was stolen from me. At first, I didn't pay much attention, I never expected things to turn out like this..."

Gu Ye frowned deeply: "There must be someone pulling the strings behind this."

Just as the three were discussing countermeasures, a servant rushed in to report: "Something terrible has happened! Several of the Murong family's shops have been vandalized, and people are even throwing rotten eggs into them!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuewei's expression changed drastically. She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Immediately send people to protect the shops and shopkeepers. For everyone's safety, close all the shops for now."

Gu Ye nodded and immediately ordered someone to handle the matter.

However, the matter did not end there. In the following days, the rumors intensified.

Somewhere along the line, people started saying that Murong Xuewei was a spy from Nanzhao, deliberately trying to sow discord between Qu Kingdom and Taichu Kingdom.

The rumor caused an uproar throughout the capital. More and more people gathered at the entrance of the General's Mansion, demanding that Gu Ye hand over Murong Xuewei and restore peace to the Taichu Kingdom.
