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

Liuli helped the slightly drunk Murong Xuewei leave the pavilion.

On the way back, Liuli kept her head down and didn't say a word.

When they reached the entrance of Qimeng Pavilion, Liuli choked up and hugged Murong Xuewei tightly, leaving Murong Xuewei completely bewildered.

"Miss, I didn't know you had suffered so much."

Murong Xuewei hugged Liuli tightly, saying, "It's alright, it's all over now."

Liuli wiped away her tears and looked at Murong Xuewei with a determined gaze. "Miss, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I will definitely protect you."

Murong Xuewei recalled the tragic end of her past life when Liuli was pierced by a thousand arrows while protecting her, and smiled as she said, "You said that in your past life."

Liuli tilted her head and looked at Murong Xuewei, "Did this servant protect Miss well in my past life?"

Murong Xuewei rubbed her slightly dizzy head and walked towards the room, saying, "I protected her."

Liuli caught up and asked, "Did you really protect him?"

Murong Lian sat in the study, her brows furrowed so deeply that they seemed to be able to trap a fly.

A pile of ledgers lay before her. Seeing that business had been getting better and better these past few days, Murong Lianjiu was thinking of calculating how much money she had made recently. But as she did so, she discovered something amiss.

This ledger contains many old accounts, all of which are orders that were completed but for which the final payment was not received.

Murong Lian stared at the accounts, her eyes sparkling. "These are all debts left over from Murong Xuewei that she couldn't get back. If I can get all of these back, wouldn't I be able to put Murong Xuewei in a better position again?"

The more Murong Lian thought about it, the happier she became, as if Murong Xuewei was already under her feet.

The next morning, Murong Lian gathered a large group of servants and servants early in the morning to prepare to collect the debt.

Yesterday, while reviewing the account books, Murong Lian had already thoroughly investigated all the debtors.

These are mostly prominent and wealthy families in Ningcheng. Perhaps these people are deliberately refusing to pay their debts because they are taking advantage of their prestige in Ningcheng.

It was one thing for Murong Xuewei to be in charge before, but now that Murong Lian is in charge, she's definitely going to teach these people a lesson and let them know that she, Murong Lian, is not someone to be trifled with.

With that, Murong Lian led a large group of servants and men toward the first house.

This family, surnamed Lin, also runs a business. Unlike the Murong family, they started out by running a restaurant. The largest restaurant in Ningcheng, Zuixianju, belongs to the Lin family.

Murong Lian chose this family because, among all those who owed money, the Lin family was the wealthiest.

Targeting the Lin family was the most appropriate course of action. Before even reaching the Lin family's doorstep, Murong Lian had already decided what to do.

Murong Lian thought that as long as the Lin family dared to open the door, she would immediately send someone to block the door, then argue with the Lin family until the world turned upside down, and incidentally set an example for the other families. This was the consequence of not returning the money to the Murong family.

She vowed to show these people what Murong Lian was capable of.

However, when Murong Lian arrived at the Lin family, the situation was completely beyond her expectations.

When the Lin family learned of her arrival, they opened the door and politely invited Murong Lian in. They even took out all the money they owed to Murong Lian early in the morning to repay her.

This completely baffled Murong Lian. The Lin family matriarch had disrupted all her plans! How was she supposed to intimidate the other families now?

Murong Lian replanned and decided to make the second place she visited her the target for establishing her authority.

What Murong Lian didn't expect was that this second family was just like the Lin family; in fact, they had already prepared the money before she even arrived.

What's even more unbelievable is that all the remaining families are like this.

Some even went so far as to deliver the silver directly to the shop.

Murong Lian stared at the silver in front of her, completely bewildered. "These debts are all so easy to collect! Why is Murong Xuewei keeping them unclaimed? Has Murong Xuewei gone mad from making too much money?"

Murong Lian looked at the trays of silver in front of her, her eyes almost closing into slits with laughter, "Now it's all good, it's all mine now."

Just as Murong Lian was overjoyed, Jiang Lingyun arrived.

Jiang Lingyun stared wide-eyed at the plates of silver on the table and asked in surprise, "Where did all this silver come from?"

Murong Lian said with great pride, "I earned it all myself."

"How did you do it? You made so much money in just a few days?"

Just as Murong Lian was about to tell Jiang Lingyun about the old score, a shop assistant came to report that the steward in charge of purchasing for the Lin family had arrived.

Murong Lian asked in confusion, "Why is he here? Does he feel guilty about owing me money and have come to apologize?"

Jiang Lingyun looked at Murong Lian with a head full of questions, "What do you mean, owing money?"

Murong Lian acted as if she hadn't heard Jiang Lingyun at all, and directly had the steward invited to a side hall.

Before the meeting, Murong Lian was beaming with joy, "Butler Lin, what brings you here?"

Murong Lian, mimicking the way the previous shopkeeper had greeted him familiarly, went to say hello.

Butler Lin solemnly took a step back to distance himself from Murong Lian.

“Miss Murong, this old servant is here on the orders of the Madam to inform you that from now on, all the clothes for the Lin family will no longer be made by Jin Yi Fang, and that contract is now terminated.”

Lin's words stunned Murong Lian.

It took Murong Lian a while to come to her senses. "Steward Lin, your family and our Murong family have been cooperating for four or five years. It wouldn't be right to just end it like this! Besides, who in the entire Ningcheng makes clothes as good as my Jin Yi Fang?"

"This old servant can't make the decision either; he's just an obedient servant."

After saying that, Butler Lin left with his men.

Shortly after Steward Lin left, people from the Chen residence arrived, and Murong Lian greeted them with a beaming smile.

Unexpectedly, the Chen family also came to terminate the contract.

With two companies terminating their contracts one after another, even Jiang Lingyun became anxious and pulled Murong Lian aside to ask her questions.

"What's going on? How come both companies are terminating their contracts on the same day?"

Murong Lian was also stunned. She couldn't figure out why. Everything was fine when she went to collect the debt in the morning, so why did they come to cancel the contract in the afternoon?

Before Murong Lian could figure it out, several more companies came to cancel their contracts.

By the end, Murong Lian was almost numb. The Brocade Robe Shop had only been able to get to where it was today because of its contracts with these families.

Now that one or two of them have all come to cancel their contracts, the Jinyifang business can't operate anymore.

Murong Lian racked her brains, trying to figure out the problem for a long time, but finally she remembered.

One night, Murong Lian wanted to go with Murong Xuewei, but was mocked by Murong Xuewei.

"I know, it must be Murong Xuewei's doing. She must have asked these people to terminate the contract."

As she spoke, Murong Lian ran towards Qimeng Pavilion like a madwoman.
