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

"Uncle Lin," Gu Ye said, his tone tinged with a hint of defiance, "please go and invite Young Master Nangong over."

Uncle Lin bowed in agreement and turned to leave. While waiting, Murong Xuewei's thoughts drifted into the distance.

Murong Xuewei recalled her past life, and the fire of revenge in her heart burned even more fiercely.

Murong Xuewei clenched her fists tightly, vowing in her heart to find out the truth and seek justice for herself and her family.

Before long, Nangong Yifeng strode over. He still wore that faint smile on his face, as if he were indifferent to everything around him.

"General Gu, Xuewei," Nangong Yifeng bowed, "What urgent matter do you wish to discuss with me?"

Before Gu Ye could speak, Murong Xuewei interjected, "Nangong Yifeng, I need your help with something."

Nangong Yifeng raised an eyebrow, a smile curving his lips. "Just tell me what you need. I'll do my best to help if it's within my power."

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath, looked directly into Nangong Yifeng's eyes, and slowly stated her request: "I hope you can disguise yourself and infiltrate the Taichu Kingdom's military camp to inquire about someone."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yifeng's smile instantly froze. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Xue Wei," he chuckled softly, "are you serious? You know, me, a prince of the Qu Kingdom, going to the Taichu Kingdom's military camp to spy on intelligence? That's just too disgraceful."

Murong Xuewei had anticipated Nangong Yifeng's reaction. She narrowed her eyes, her tone slightly seductive: "Nangong Yifeng, I know this request is a bit excessive. However, if you're willing to help, I can grant you one request."

Nangong Yifeng became interested. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Oh? What are the conditions?"

Murong Xuewei's lips curled into a mysterious smile: "If you're willing to help with this, I can give you one of my restaurants in the capital of Qu Kingdom. Didn't you always want that restaurant? Now your wish can come true."

Nangong Yifeng's eyes lit up, but he quickly regained his calm expression.

Nangong Yifeng pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he nodded: "Alright, I agree. However, I need to know exactly what you need to investigate."

Gu Ye then interjected, "We need you to check if there's a soldier named Xiang Yang in the military camp, and what his recent movements are."

Nangong Yifeng looked at Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye in surprise: "That's it? Just to investigate a single soldier?"

Murong Xuewei nodded.

Nangong Yifeng stroked his chin and asked in confusion, "Could this soldier named Xiangyang be some kind of expert, or a spy sent by the enemy, that he's worth the two of you exchanging a restaurant for?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head. "He's just an ordinary soldier."

Nangong Yifeng stared wide-eyed at Murong Xuewei, as if looking at some monster. "Is an ordinary soldier worth all this trouble?"

Murong Xuewei rolled her eyes at Nangong Yifeng. "When did you become so talkative? Just tell me if you're willing to go or not!"

Nangong Yifeng sat back down on the stool. "I'd be willing to go, but I'm still a prisoner of your Taichu Kingdom. Even going to the latrine is watched. How am I supposed to sneak into the military camp?"

Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye, who arrogantly turned his head away. "That's no problem. As long as you're willing to go, I'll handle this little thing."

After the discussion was completed, Nangong Yifeng took his leave.

Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

“Xuewei,” Gu Ye said softly, “we can’t place all our hopes on Nangong Yifeng. We have to tackle both sides simultaneously.”

Murong Xuewei nodded in agreement: "You're right. I plan to have Liuli disguise herself as a young girl who has come to stay with relatives, and go to the village again to gather information. That way, she won't easily arouse suspicion."

Gu Ye gave Murong Xuewei an approving look, secretly marveling at her wit.

They immediately summoned Liuli and explained the mission in detail.

After listening, a hint of worry flashed in Liuli's eyes: "Madam, isn't this too dangerous?"

Murong Xuewei patted Liuli's shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, I believe in your abilities. If you encounter any danger, come back immediately."

Liuli nodded in agreement and turned to prepare.

As night fell, Murong Xuewei stood alone in the courtyard, gazing up at the starry sky.

Her heart was filled with unease and anticipation. She knew that every step she took could be a knife's edge, and the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.

But for revenge, for the sake of her loved ones who died tragically in her previous life, she must persevere.

The next morning, Liuli disguised herself and set off for the village.

Liuli felt uneasy. This was the first time she had gone out to gather information on her own without Murong Xuewei's company. She wondered if she would mess it up. But thinking of the Madam's trust in her, she mustered her courage and continued on her way.

Upon arriving at the village, Liuli pretended to be a lost little girl and asked the villagers for directions.

Liuli found a peasant woman carrying a basket, who looked like she was going home.

"Excuse me, ma'am, is this Zuojia Village?"

The peasant woman looked Liuli up and down. Although Liuli was wearing coarse cloth clothes, her fair and clean face was very pleasing to the eye.

"Young lady, this is Xiangjia Village. Zuojia Village is to the west. You've gone the wrong way."

Liuli feigned annoyance, "Oh dear! My mother told me to go to Zuojia Village to find my uncle, and now I'm lost."

Liuli feigned a weak and delicate demeanor, taking the peasant woman's hand, "Sister, I've been traveling all morning, could I please come to your house for a drink of water?"

The peasant woman smiled and nodded, "Alright, you can do it!"

Liuli followed the peasant woman into the village. Along the way, Liuli pretended to keep her head down, but in reality, she secretly memorized the layout of the entire village.

Upon arriving at the farmer's house, Liuli drank water and chatted with the farmer.

"Sister, are you home alone?"

"No, I live with my husband and my in-laws. They're still working in the fields at this hour, so I came back to prepare the meal."

Liuli smiled and nodded, taking a sip of water. "By the way, sister, when I entered the village just now, I saw a house at the village entrance. The house looked nicely built. Was that the village chief's house?"

During the conversation, she skillfully steered the topic toward the elderly couple.

"Oh, you mean the Xiang family?" an older woman said warmly. "They're a very good family. Their son, Xiangyang, is such a filial and good boy."

Liuli feigned curiosity and pressed, "Sister, can you tell me about this Xiangyang?"

The peasant woman seemed quite happy to chat, and began to speak at length: "Xiangyang, that boy has been sensible since he was little. He joined the army at sixteen, and every month he sends his pay back to his parents. The old couple also lives frugally, saving all their money."
