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

Gu Ye stared blankly at Murong Xuewei, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

In the end, Gu Ye only left one sentence: "I hope Miss Murong will remember to propose marriage in three days."

Then, in a flash, the person disappeared, leaving Murong Xuewei speechless.

Gu Ye hadn't even answered my question yet, so why did he run off?

Not long after Gu Ye left, Liu Li woke up, rubbing her reddened nape. "Miss, is it General Gu who has arrived?"

“They just left.” Murong Xuewei glanced at the open window.

"General Gu is really ruthless! Last time he beat me so badly that it took two whole days for the swelling to go down, and this time it will probably take another two days."

Murong Xuewei was just about to suggest that she would get a doctor to examine Liuli tomorrow when a bodyguard suddenly appeared, carrying a box of ointment.

"Miss, this is what our general asked me to give to Miss Liuli. It can reduce swelling and bruising."

Murong Xuewei looked at the ointment in the guard's hand and nodded.

After Liuli accepted the ointment, her complaints about Gu Ye lessened a bit.

"Miss, it seems General Gu treats you quite well. Knowing he's ruthless, he even specially brought me some ointment."

Murong Xuewei glanced at the ointment in Liuli's hand, her thoughts unreadable.

After a long pause, Murong Xuewei said, "Keep a close eye on Murong Lian these next few days. General Gu said he'll be coming to propose marriage in three days. We can't let Murong Lian ruin things."

Liuli immediately dropped her playful expression and looked at Murong Xuewei with a serious face. "Don't worry, Miss. I will keep a close eye on Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun these next few days and I will definitely not let them cause any trouble."

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun spent every day in the shop, enjoying themselves immensely amidst the constant flow of customers.

However, after the last incident, Murong Lian did not show off in front of Murong Xuewei again.

Apart from Liuli, no one in the entire Murong family had told Murong Xuewei about Gu Ye's marriage proposal.

When Gu Ye arrived with the matchmaker and betrothal gifts to propose marriage, everyone in the Murong family was stunned.

Especially Madam Murong and Master Murong.

It was Murong Xuewei who stepped forward and invited him into the mansion. Madam Murong and Master Murong looked at Gu Ye and then at Murong Xuewei.

Master Murong asked Madam Murong in a low voice, "Madam, who is this person? Do you know him? Why did he bring a matchmaker with him?"

Madam Murong shook her head. "I don't know him either. It seems that Weiwei is very familiar with him. Could it be that he came to propose marriage to Weiwei?"

"No, I disagree." Master Murong suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

For a moment, everyone present stared at him in surprise, and Madam Murong awkwardly pulled him to sit down.

The matchmaker had been wiping her sweat non-stop since she came in. This gentleman had given a lot of money, but he hadn't mentioned beforehand that he was arranging a marriage for the Murong family.

Everyone in Ningcheng knows the sharp tongue of the second young lady of the Murong family. If you dare to propose to her today, she can take your job away tomorrow. As a result, no matchmaker in Ningcheng dares to propose to her.

Well, even Master Murong disagrees. It seems the matchmaking can't be arranged today.

Madam Murong forcefully pulled Master Murong to sit down, and walked to Murong Xuewei's side with a smile.

"Weiwei, is this young master your friend?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head, "No, Mother."

Madam Murong's heart settled back into her stomach, and then she heard Murong Xuewei say, "He came to propose marriage to me, so he should be considered my fiancé!"

Madam Murong's heart, which had calmed down, jumped again. "What? When did you two meet? How come I didn't know?"

"We met when I went on a pilgrimage last time."

"Going to burn incense? How come I've never heard you or Mother mention that?"

Murong Xuewei knew that it would take time for her parents to accept Gu Ye, but she couldn't wait any longer.

“Mom, I know what you’re worried about. I’m not a child anymore. I know what I’m doing.”

Seeing that his wife couldn't persuade Murong Xuewei, Master Murong could only walk over and look Gu Ye up and down.

His looks and figure are truly impeccable; there are few men in the entire Ningcheng who can rival Gu Ye's appearance.

However, there are still other aspects to consider.

"Hey you, what's your name?"

Murong Xuewei stepped forward and said, "Father, his name is Gu Ye."

Master Murong rolled his eyes at his daughter. "When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."

Murong Xuewei pointed to herself in confusion. "Is this really talking about a little kid like me?"

Gu Ye wisely stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Master Murong.

"Uncle, my name is Gu Ye, and I am from the capital."

"I didn't realize you were from the capital! Since you're from the capital, your family background must be quite good. What do your parents think about your marriage proposal?"

"I am an orphan with no father or mother."

When Master Murong heard Gu Ye say that he was an orphan, he became even more opposed to it.

"Weiwei, look at the man you've found! What good is being good-looking? He's an orphan. If you marry him, you'll have to take care of the whole family!"

Murong Xuewei looked at Master Murong with a puzzled expression. Now that it's the Murong family, isn't she the one taking care of the household affairs?

"But I'm the one in charge of our family now!"

Master Murong looked at him with a disappointed expression, "How can that be the same? Our family's property will all be yours in the future, but can his family's be?"

"Yes." Gu Ye's single word, "Yes," stunned everyone present.

Then Gu Ye said, "Uncle, I've been an orphan since I was a child and grew up in the capital. Over the years, through my own efforts, I've managed to get a minor official position in the capital and have some family wealth. As long as Weiwei marries into the family, I'm willing to hand over the entire Gu family to her to manage. As long as Weiwei says go east, I will definitely not go west."

Murong Xuewei thought to herself, "A minor official? Gu Ye really knows how to talk!"

If a general with outstanding military achievements is considered a minor official, then what would be considered a major official?

Thinking about her potential collaboration with Gu Ye, Murong Xuewei spoke up for him, "Father, look, he's been so sincere. Besides, he's an orphan, so I won't have to deal with mother-in-law conflicts if I marry him. Isn't that great?"

Speaking of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Madam Murong has a deep understanding of it. When Madam Murong was still alive, Madam Murong and her sisters-in-law suffered a lot.

Getting up early in the middle of the night to make breakfast, taking care of the sick late at night—these are all basic operations. Sometimes, the old lady would even deliberately come up with all sorts of ways to torment the ladies of the Murong family.

It wasn't until the old lady passed away a few years ago that the ladies of the Murong family were finally able to break free.

However, Grandpa Murong understood everything that Madam Murong had gone through, so he did not want his children to experience the same things.
