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

"But, but you are the legitimate daughter of the Murong family, how can you just marry someone like this!" Master Murong was still unwilling to budge.

How could he let his daughter, whom he had raised like a precious treasure since she was a child, be snatched away by some wild boy?

"Besides, is your approach to proposing marriage like this an insult to the Murong family? Although we are merely a merchant family, we..."

Before Master Murong could finish speaking, Gu Ye raised his hand and opened one of the boxes he had brought. The box was filled with magnificent jewels, causing Master Murong to swallow back his words.

"Even if you bring so much jewelry to propose marriage, it doesn't necessarily mean you're sincere. We..."

Gu Ye opened another box, this time containing some precious medicinal herbs.

"Can…………."

Gu Ye simply opened all the boxes he had brought. Any single item in the last few boxes was more valuable than the first two boxes combined.

Everyone present was stunned.

Although Murong Xuewei has seen many rare treasures in her many years of business, she has rarely been so generous with her money.

Besides, Murong Xuewei felt that she and Gu Ye were just business partners, not actually getting married, so there was no need for a grand ceremony.

Murong Xuewei slowly moved to Gu Ye's side and whispered, "It's just a fake wedding, there's no need for such a grand ceremony."

Gu Ye simply said, "You deserve it."

Murong Xuewei was stunned when she heard those three words.

In her past life, when Murong Xuewei was with Jiang Lingyun, the thing she heard most often was, "Xuewei, you are already lucky to marry me, a daughter of a merchant family. If you are willing to help me out, I will definitely earn you a title of Lady of the Imperial Decree when I become the prime minister."

Time and again they offered assistance, but in the end, they were met with the complete annihilation of their entire family.

Now reborn, Murong Xuewei, who had given up all hope for love, seemed to be touched by something in her heart after hearing Gu Ye say "You deserve it".

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath to calm herself down, "I didn't realize General Gu's family was so wealthy."

Murong Xuewei could only use teasing to cover up her inner panic.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ye said seriously again, "No, these were all left to my daughter-in-law by my parents when they were alive."

"You're giving me what you intended for your daughter-in-law. Aren't you afraid your future wife will be angry?"

"Isn't this because I want to show some sincerity in cooperating with Miss Murong?" Gu Ye said half-jokingly.

If it weren't for that last sentence, Murong Xuewei would almost have believed it after only hearing Gu Ye's first few sentences.

Murong Xuewei gave a cold laugh, "General Gu's sincerity is truly remarkable!"

After speaking, Murong Xuewei walked to Madam Murong's side.

When Murong Xuewei left, Gu Ye sensed that she seemed angry, but he didn't know why.

When Murong Xuewei first came to talk to me, I was clearly quite happy! Why did I get angry after only a few words?

Gu Ye racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what Murong Xuewei was angry about.

Murong Xuewei resumed her indifferent demeanor, "Father, Mother, looking across the entire Ningcheng, which family can offer such sincerity?"

When the matchmaker heard Murong Xuewei speak up for Gu Ye, she immediately stepped forward to agree, displaying the matchmaker's characteristic silver tongue.

"It's Master Murong. Although your family is extremely wealthy in Ningcheng, a daughter still has to get married. Young Master Gu has shown great sincerity in wanting to marry your Miss Xuewei. I believe Young Master Gu will treat your Miss Xuewei well in the future."

Seeing that Master Murong remained silent, the matchmaker shifted her gaze to Madam Murong.

“My dear wife! What we mothers want most is for our children to have a good marriage. Look at the Gu family, there are no elders. If Miss Xuewei marries into the family, she can be in charge and won’t have to worry about being mistreated. This is what so many girls dream of!”

Murong Xuewei listened to the matchmaker's introduction from the side and admired the matchmaker's silver tongue from the bottom of her heart.

It's amazing how they can portray orphans in such a refined and elegant way!

Madam Murong lowered her head in thought.

At this moment, Murong Qingyu rushed back from outside.

"No, I don't agree to this marriage."

Murong Xuewei looked at Murong Qingyu, who stormed in, speechless.

Why is my older brother causing trouble again at this time?!

"I……."

Murong Xuewei stepped forward and pulled Murong Qingyu aside.

"Big brother, what are you doing causing trouble again?!"

Murong Qingyu looked at Murong Xuewei seriously, "Big brother can't just let you get married without knowing the reason."

Murong Xuewei explained helplessly, "My brother is not acting in a daze. I know him very well, and he knows me very well. Today's marriage proposal was something we had planned."

Murong Qingyu looked at Murong Xuewei with a puzzled expression, "When did you two agree to this?"

“We…” Murong Xuewei thought for a moment. She couldn’t tell her older brother that Gu Ye had come to her room in the middle of the night to discuss something, or her brother would chop Gu Ye up with a knife.

"Oh well! Anyway, don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing."

Murong Qingyu looked at Murong Xuewei, whose serious expression didn't seem to be joking.

"Are you really sure you want to marry him?"

Murong Xuewei nodded solemnly, "Yes, I've made up my mind."

After a brief stalemate, Murong Qingyu was ultimately defeated by Murong Xuewei.

"Since you insist, I know that no matter how much I say, it won't make a difference."

Murong Qingyu glanced at Gu Ye and said, "Ever since your sister-in-law and I got married, I've felt that you've changed. Although I don't know why you've become like this, I know that you will always be my sister."

Hearing Murong Qingyu's words, Murong Xuewei felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Big brother." Murong Xuewei's voice was a little choked up.

Murong Qingyu pulled Murong Xuewei into his arms. "You must remember, no matter what happens, the Murong family will always be your support. Your older brother will always support you and protect you."

Murong Xuewei buried her head in Murong Qingyu's clothes, and tears fell silently, wetting Murong Qingyu's front.

After a long while, Murong Xuewei raised her head, her eyes becoming even more determined as she looked at Murong Qingyu. "Thank you, Big Brother."

Murong Qingyu pulled Murong Xuewei to Gu Ye's side, took Murong Xuewei's hand with one hand and Gu Ye's hand with the other, and put their hands together.

"You brat, I don't care what official position you hold in the capital. If you dare to treat my sister badly, even if you're a member of the royal family, I'll make you pay the price."

Gu Ye held Murong Xuewei's hand tightly. "Brother, don't worry. Xuewei is the woman I love most in this life. I will protect her with my life and not let her suffer any harm."

Mr. and Mrs. Murong did not expect Murong Qingyu to agree so quickly.
