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

Murong Xuewei accepted the wooden box, a hint of wariness rising in her heart. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. We will certainly cherish it."

The man exchanged a few more pleasantries with Gu Ye before taking his leave.

As soon as that person left, Murong Xuewei could no longer hold on and weakly leaned against the table.

Gu Ye quickly stepped forward to support Murong Xuewei, "Xuewei, I'll go get the doctor."

Murong Xuewei pulled Gu Ye back, "No, they can't have gone far yet."

Gu Ye reached out and touched the wound on Murong Xuewei's back, and Murong Xuewei hissed in pain.

"Xuewei, do you believe me?"

Murong Xuewei stared blankly at Gu Ye, then nodded.

Gu Ye helped Murong Xuewei to sit down by the bed, cut open the cloth covering the wound, and carefully examined it.

"No bones are broken, it's just an external injury. Let me apply some medicine and bandage it for you."

Murong Xuewei buried her face in the gauze curtain, because her face was already as red as an apple, and she could only nod.

After treating the wound, Murong Xuewei tried to divert her embarrassment by changing the subject to the wooden box that had been delivered.

"Is there something bad inside this wooden box that was delivered at this time?"

Gu Ye was also a little suspicious, "Let's open it and take a look!"

Gu Ye opened the wooden box, inside were some expensive tonics.

“There’s nothing wrong with the items themselves,” Gu Ye said, “but we still need to be careful.”

Murong Xuewei nodded. "I will have someone check it carefully."

Just then, Liuli rushed in, "Madam, when that group of people left just now, I noticed that some of them secretly went to the backyard."

Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei immediately became alert. Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei murmured, "The backyard... isn't that where the bandits are imprisoned? What are they doing there?"

Gu Ye nodded. "It might be an inside job. I'll go check it out."

"Be careful," Murong Xuewei said, pulling Gu Ye's hand. "Your injury hasn't healed yet."

Gu Ye smiled slightly, "These are just minor injuries."

Murong Xuewei playfully pressed on Gu Ye's wound with a little force, causing Gu Ye to wince in pain.

"General Gu, it's just a minor injury," Murong Xuewei said sarcastically.

Gu Ye chuckled, "I was just kidding, it doesn't hurt at all."

Liuli stood to the side, covering her mouth and giggling. Only then did Gu Ye notice that Liuli was still there.

"Why are you here."

Liuli mimicked Gu Ye's words, saying, "This servant has always been here, but the general cannot see me."

Murong Xuewei was amused by Liuli's appearance.

Gu Ye coughed awkwardly, "Um, I'll go see what that kid who ran to the backyard is up to."

After saying that, Gu Ye ran away in a flash.

After arriving at the backyard, Gu Ye searched around but couldn't find the person.

Gu Ye frowned slightly; he felt that something was amiss.

“Strange,” he muttered to himself, “the person clearly came in, so where did they go?”

He carefully examined every corner of the yard but found nothing unusual.

Just as Gu Ye was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh no!" Gu Ye suddenly remembered, "The Boss!"

He immediately turned and ran towards the room where the gang leader was being held. All the way, Gu Ye secretly prayed that nothing went wrong.

"I hope I'm overthinking it," Gu Ye thought as he ran, "but if someone really wants to target the leader, then it'll be troublesome."

Finally arriving at the room door, Gu Ye took a deep breath and pushed the door open heavily. The sight before him made him gasp.

A man in black was pointing a dagger at the leader, who was lying on the bed. Although the leader had woken up, his injuries prevented him from moving.

"Stop!" Gu Ye shouted, rushing towards the man in black.

The man in black was clearly not expected to be there. He paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and turned to run away, but Gu Ye had already pounced on him.

The two instantly began to wrestle. The man in black was quite skilled, and Gu Ye nearly caught him several times.

Although Gu Ye was skilled, he was injured and could only use less than one-tenth of his usual strength.

"What are you standing there for? Arrest them!" Gu Ye shouted.

Several soldiers nearby immediately reacted and rushed in to join the battle.

Seeing that things were not going well, the man in black suddenly flipped over, trying to escape through the window.

But Gu Ye was prepared. He rushed forward and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Gu Ye sneered.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the man in black suddenly changed direction and turned to stab at Gu Ye. Although Gu Ye reacted in time, he dodged to the side.

Then, with a kick, the man in black was knocked to the ground.

Upon seeing this, several soldiers immediately rushed forward and finally subdued the man in black.

Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the situation of the head of the gang. Before the assistant even entered, Gu Ye's heart sank.

The leader lay on the bed with a deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest, from which blood was gushing out.

"Boss!" Gu Ye rushed over, "Quickly, call a doctor!"

The leader waved his hand weakly, "It's...too late. The knife...has already pierced my heart. Even a god couldn't save me."

Gu Ye grasped the leader's hand, "No, you can definitely be saved, you will be alright."

The leader gave a wry smile. "General Gu, I...can I call you Little Prince?"

Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

The chieftain, suppressing the pain in his heart, clasped his hands together and whispered, "This old minister offers his congratulations and greets...Master."

Gu Ye's eyes reddened, and he grabbed the leader's hand, "I will definitely save you."

The chieftain grabbed Gu Ye's hand and said, "This old minister only regrets... only regrets that I recognized you too late, and that I was unable to protect you afterward."

"No, stop talking."

The head of the gang pressed down on Gu Ye's hand and spoke with difficulty, "No, Master, listen to this old minister, you must... be careful... be careful of Prime Minister Wen. He... he's not a good person."

Gu Ye was startled. "Prime Minister Wen? You mean..."

But the leader was too weak to speak. He glanced at Gu Ye one last time, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and then slowly closed them.

Gu Ye stood up, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He looked at the subdued man in black, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly," he told his soldiers. "Use severe torture; I want him to tell the truth in every word."

The soldiers nodded and escorted the man in black away.

Gu Ye stood in front of the chief, gazing at the courtyard outside. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the chief's face, which wore a faint smile.

"Prime Minister Wen..." he murmured to himself, "The day I return to the capital will be the day your entire family is wiped out."

Just then, Murong Xuewei rushed over. She was startled by the scene in the room.

"The leader...?" she asked eagerly.

Gu Ye turned around and hugged Murong Xuewei tightly, "Let me hug you for a while, just a little while."

Murong Xuewei gently patted Gu Ye's hand, "Do you want to save the Boss?"
