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

"General Gu and I heard that the soldiers in the camp have been working very hard these days, so I took some supplies to visit them today," Murong Xuewei said with a smile.

"Madam is truly kind-hearted; even at a time like this, she's still thinking of us soldiers."

"You are all here to protect the territory of the Primordial Kingdom, and I can only do these simple things." Murong Xuewei's words were impeccable.

As they spoke, Murong Xuewei and the others had already entered the military camp.

Murong Xuewei gave Gu Ye a look, and Gu Ye nodded in understanding, then spoke to the soldier.

"It's been a long time since this general has been to the Eastern Camp. Lead the way for me."

Upon hearing Gu Ye's words, the soldier immediately and eagerly led the way for him.

Murong Xuewei seized the opportunity to slip away and searched through the military camps one by one.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a slender figure. It was a young soldier, wiping his weapon not far away. Murong Xuewei's heart stirred, and she gently patted Gu Ye's arm.

Gu Ye followed her gaze, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "That's..."

Murong Xuewei nodded. "That should be the son of that elderly couple."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in each other's eyes. Gu Ye said in a low voice, "I'll distract the others; you go and test that kid."

Murong Xuewei nodded slightly, then quietly got off the carriage and walked towards the young soldier.

"Young man," Murong Xuewei called softly, "aren't you going to collect your things?"

The young soldier looked up and saw Murong Xuewei; a flicker of panic crossed his eyes.

But he quickly composed himself and said respectfully, "Madam, I am too small to squeeze in. Would you like to wait until they have all been received before going?"

Murong Xuewei smiled and looked at the weapons behind the soldier. "Are you usually in charge of cleaning the weapons?"

The young soldier hesitated for a moment, then nodded in the direction of Murong Xuewei's gaze, "I don't have much strength, so I can only do odd jobs like cleaning weapons."

Murong Xuewei glanced at the soldier's tiger's mouth, where there were obvious calluses; he was lying.

Murong Xuewei asked casually, "You look unfamiliar to me. Are you new here?"

The young soldier nodded. "Yes, madam, I am indeed new here."

Murong Xuewei then asked, "Do you know someone named Chen Da? I heard he's been...?"

Before she could finish speaking, the young soldier's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

The soldier stammered, "I...I don't know any Master Chen. Please forgive me, Madam, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now." With that, he turned to leave.

Murong Xuewei reacted quickly, grabbing his wrist. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't rush off. Let's have a good talk, like... how are your parents doing?"

Upon hearing this, the young soldier trembled, his eyes filled with terror.

Just then, a commotion arose in the distance. Gu Ye had somehow stirred up a disturbance, and a large number of soldiers surged in that direction.

Murong Xuewei seized the opportunity and said in a low voice, "I know you have something difficult to say. But if you don't tell the truth, even your parents might be implicated."

The young soldier gritted his teeth and finally whispered, "Madam, I... I was threatened. Someone forced me to monitor Chen Da, and even made me..." His voice trailed off, until it was almost inaudible.

Just as Murong Xuewei was about to press for more information, a sharp shout suddenly came from afar: "Who's lurking around there like that!"

Murong Xuewei was startled and subconsciously released the young soldier's wrist.

She saw a burly general striding towards her with a fierce expression on his face.

The young soldier, pale with fright, whispered to Murong Xuewei, "Madam, let's go quickly. That's General Xin; he has a terrible temper."

Murong Xuewei nodded, turned around and quickly left.

Murong Xuewei's heart was pounding. Just a moment ago, she remembered the scene of confronting Xin You at the manor.

But now, Murong Xuewei must find Gu Ye as soon as possible and leave this dangerous place.

Just as Murong Xuewei was about to reach the carriage, a furious shout suddenly came from behind: "Stop!"

She turned around and saw that Xin You's men were leading several soldiers in a hurry to catch up.

Murong Xuewei knew that running away would only arouse greater suspicion.

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and turned to face the menacing General Xin.

"General Xin, it's been a long time. What advice do you have for me?" Murong Xuewei said calmly, trying to hide her nervousness.

General Xin sneered, "It has indeed been a long time. I am quite curious, what brings you, a mere woman, to my camp?"

Murong Xuewei gripped the hem of her dress tightly, her eyes darting around uncertainly.

Having dealt with Xin You before, Murong Xuewei knew that this man was not someone to be trifled with.

At this critical moment, Gu Ye's voice suddenly came from the side: "General Xin, what's going on?"

Murong Xuewei secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Gu Ye had already noticed the abnormality here.

Murong Xuewei saw Gu Ye striding towards her, a puzzled expression on her face.

General Xin's expression softened slightly upon seeing that it was Gu Ye, but his tone remained unfriendly: "General Gu, I have no objection to you bringing men to the camp to reward the soldiers. However..." He gave Murong Xuewei a meaningful look, "...my camp is full of rough men. For a noble lady like you to wander around like this, if something were to happen, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain it to you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. He smiled and said, "I see. General Xin, you may not know, but my wife is always kind-hearted. She must have come to the camp and seen how hard the soldiers were working, so she wanted to stay a little longer. Besides, I have great faith in the troops under General Xin's command, so how could anything go wrong?"

General Xin looked at Gu Ye suspiciously, then at Murong Xuewei, and finally nodded reluctantly. "Since that's the case, then forget it. However..." he said meaningfully, "Please be more careful in the future; the military camp is a restricted area, not a place to wander around casually."

Gu Ye cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, General Xin."

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose from the distant military camp.

Xin You's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly sent someone to check the situation. Not long after, a soldier rushed in to report: "General, something terrible has happened! The camp is on fire!"

Xin You was shocked upon hearing this and immediately set off for the military camp.

But just then, Gu Ye suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"

All eyes were on Gu Ye. He said gravely, "General Xin, don't you think the timing of this fire is too coincidental?"

Xin You's expression shifted between light and shadow. "What do you mean by that, General Gu?"
