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

Gu Ye rubbed his forehead and gritted his teeth as he answered Murong Xuewei, "It's nothing. Now that the cooperation has been reached, I have some matters to attend to and will take my leave first. Tomorrow I will send someone to your residence to propose marriage. I hope Miss Murong will not make things difficult for you then."

“Of course, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation, my husband.” Murong Xuewei smiled broadly.

Gu Ye looked at Murong Xuewei, a slight smile curving his lips.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, madam."

Murong Xuewei watched Gu Ye's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

Before heading to the capital, I need to deal with the hidden dangers in my family first. In my previous life, if Murong Lian hadn't secretly seduced Xiao Wan Ning, the Murong family's business wouldn't have plummeted, and they would have been framed and killed. In this life, I'll start by taking action against Murong Lian.

The next day, Murong Xuewei got up very early. When she arrived at Moxiangzhai, Murong Qingyu had already arrived with Song Wanyi.

Murong Xuewei caught up with Murong Qingyu in three quick steps.

"Brother, you're newly married, why are you at Mother's Ink Fragrance Studio so early? Why don't you rest a bit more with your sister-in-law?"

Song Wanyi blushed slightly and hid behind Murong Qingyu. Murong Qingyu tapped Murong Xuewei's forehead and said, "Where did you learn such glib talk, you little girl?"

Murong Xuewei rubbed her temples, recalling the last time she saw her elder brother in her previous life. His tendons in his hands, which were holding a pen, had been severed, and his legs had been broken and bent into strange shapes.

Nevertheless, when he saw Murong Xuewei, he still smiled and comforted her, saying that he would definitely rescue her.

Thinking of this, Murong Xuewei's eyes reddened once again.

Murong Xuewei's crying left Murong Qingyu and Song Wanyi at a loss.

Song Wanyi slapped Murong Qingyu in disgust, "Really, why did you hit so hard? You made Weiwei cry."

Murong Qingyu looked at her hands helplessly. She hadn't used much force just now, so why was Murong Xuewei crying?

"Weiwei, don't cry. Big brother was wrong. Big brother shouldn't have hit you. As long as you don't cry, big brother will agree to anything you want."

Murong Xuewei was amused by Murong Qingyu's appearance.

"Brother, you said it yourself, I want that restaurant in the capital that you have."

Murong Qingyu was taken aback. "What would a girl like you need a restaurant for? How about I give you my best-performing cosmetics shops? The cosmetics from those shops are very popular with young ladies from aristocratic families, and you'll definitely like them too."

Murong Xuewei clung to Song Wanyi's arm and began to whine, "Sister-in-law, look, Big Brother didn't keep his word. I just want that restaurant!"

Song Wanyi affectionately pinched Murong Xuewei's nose, "Alright, alright, sister-in-law decides, it's yours."

"Sister-in-law is the best." Murong Xuewei hugged Song Wanyi and acted coquettishly.

The reason Murong Xuewei wanted that restaurant was because in her previous life, if the restaurant's manager hadn't been clever enough to use the restaurant's convenience to collect a lot of information about the capital and inform them in advance, the entire Murong family would probably have been arrested long before Xiao Wanning set up the first trap.

Now that Murong Xuewei has a second chance, she plans to secretly transform the restaurant into a place for gathering information about the capital.

After acquiring the restaurant, Murong Xuewei took Song Wanyi's arm and led her into the courtyard.

"Mother, I'm late." Murong Xuewei walked gracefully to the head seat and gave a slight curtsy.

"Wei'er is here, come and sit down." Madam Murong smiled and beckoned to her, her eyes full of affection.

Murong Xuewei moved gracefully and sat down next to Madam Murong, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Murong Lian sitting to the side.

Today she was wearing a simple light pink dress, with light makeup on her face, looking pitiful and endearing.

Murong Xuewei sneered inwardly. Yesterday she fell into the pond, and today she's jumping around and coming to pay her respects. It seems her body isn't so weak after all.

"Oh, isn't this Second Sister? She was frightened after falling into the water yesterday, but she still comes to pay her respects to Mother today. How filial she is." Murong Xuewei covered her mouth and chuckled, but her tone was full of sarcasm.

Murong Lian's face stiffened, her eyes instantly reddened, and her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you for your concern, sister. But I was thinking that even if I'm not feeling well, I can't forget to pay my respects to Mother and fulfill my filial duty."

As she spoke, she coughed lightly a few times, as if she were truly frail and ill.

Murong Xuewei sneered inwardly. This delicate, innocent-looking woman was truly a master of acting.

"What you're saying, little sister, makes people think I'm an immature older sister, always arriving late to pay my respects to Mother." Murong Xuewei's tone was innocent, but every word was barbed.

Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed deep in Murong Lian's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, lowering her head as if she dared not speak.

"Wei'er, are you blaming your sister-in-law and me for being late?" Murong Qingyu said with a hint of teasing.

Murong Xuewei smiled and thought, "As expected of my elder brother, he's so straightforward in protecting his own."

"Alright, Qingyu, Wei'er is usually busy with business, and you and Wanyi are newlyweds, so it's fine if you don't come to pay your respects." Madam Murong smiled and smoothed things over. "Now that Lian'er is engaged, let Lian'er come and keep me company more often."

Seeing this, Murong Xuewei chimed in, glancing mockingly at Murong Lian, "Indeed, now that your brother is married, and Lian-meimei will soon be getting married as well, Lian-meimei should spend more time with Mother."

Upon hearing this, Murong Lian trembled slightly. These words were like a sharp blade, piercing her heart with deep pain.

Yes, all of their biological children have their own shops and businesses, while she, as an adopted daughter, can only wait to be married off to someone they arrange for her to marry.

Murong Xuewei secretly rejoiced at Murong Lian's unpleasant expression, but remained outwardly calm. She continued, "Mother has always doted on Lian the most among the sisters in the family. I'm afraid Mother will be reluctant to let Lian get married."

After speaking, Murong Xuewei glanced at Murong Lian's expression. Murong Xuewei knew that Murong Lian had always coveted the business she and her elder brother owned, but she was unwilling to learn how to do business and only wanted to reap the benefits without sowing. If she were to marry now, it would probably be worse than killing her.

"Mother, don't you think so?" Murong Xuewei turned to look at Madam Murong, smiling innocently.

Madam Murong looked at Murong Xuewei with loving eyes, "Wei'er is right. It's shameful for a girl to keep talking about her family and getting married."

Murong Lian gripped the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she dared not make a sound.

She hated Murong Xuewei's sharp tongue, her unbridled behavior, and even more so, her own status, which made her forever inferior to Murong Xuewei!
