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

Murong Xuewei watched as Si Lingshan was taken away, feeling conflicted. This was the first time she had officially entered the game since her rebirth, and she never expected that Xiao Wanning would use a living person's life to frame her without knowing her identity.

If Xiao Wan Ning were to find out her true identity, her fate might be a thousand times worse than in her previous life.

Gu Ye seemed to sense Murong Xuewei's feelings, walked to her side, and put his arm around her shoulder.

"It's alright now, don't be afraid." Gu Ye thought that Murong Xuewei was frightened because it was her first time being in this kind of aristocratic circle, so he comforted her.

Murong Xuewei looked up and forced a smile, "I'm fine."

Su Xiaonuan also came over, "Xuewei, a restaurant in the East Market has reopened. I heard they hired a great chef from Jiangnan. He's a very good cook. Shall we go and try it?"

Murong Xuewei knew that Su Xiaonuan was trying to comfort her, but Murong Xuewei had no interest in food at the moment.

"Xiao Nuan, let's do it another day! I feel a bit tired today."

Murong Xuewei politely bowed to Xiao Wanning and took her leave, then sat in the carriage on her way back.

Murong Xuewei kept reminiscing about her past life.

In her previous life, Murong Xuewei only came to the capital with Jiang Lingyun during the imperial examination.

She met Xiao Wanning through Jiang Lingyun's introduction, and at that time she only thought of Xiao Wanning as a princess who knew how to recognize and use people.

I never imagined there was any relationship between the two of them.

Even from the time she was reborn until she went to the Wen family mansion, Murong Xuewei believed that Xiao Wanning in her previous life would plot to kill her entire family because of Jiang Lingyun and Ming Lingxi Pendant.

But after today's incident, Murong Xuewei realized that even without Jiang Lingyun and the Minglingxi Pendant, anyone who gets in Xiao Wanning's way will be killed by any means necessary.

In her past life, she was Jiang Lingyun; in this life, she is... Gu Ye.

Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye sitting opposite her, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

The reason I initially chose Gu Ye as my partner was because Gu Ye, like me in my previous life, was forced to his death by the Xiao royal family.

So Gu Ye must hate the Xiao royal family just as much as I do!

Murong Xuewei completely ignored it! This wasn't the previous life; in this life, it was because of Murong Xuewei's interference.

This makes Xiao Si Ning's forced marriage unrealistic, so Gu Ye in this life might not regret it.

Was it the right thing for me to cooperate with Gu Ye?

Murong Xuewei became increasingly confused as she thought about it, and she also had a slight headache.

Sitting opposite Gu Ye, he noticed that Murong Xuewei hadn't said a word since getting into the carriage.

She kept staring at herself, and her complexion kept getting worse.

Gu Ye thought that Murong Xuewei was still afraid of what had just happened at the Prince's Mansion, so he sighed and took Murong Xuewei's hand.

"I'm sorry Xuewei, I'm late today. I made you go to the Wen residence alone to face those things. I promise you it won't happen again."

Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye seriously, "Gu Ye, if one day I stand on the opposite side of the Xiao royal family, whose side will you help?"

Gu Ye suddenly released Murong Xuewei's hand, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Murong Xuewei slowly withdrew her hand from Gu Ye's, along with her heart, which had just begun to flutter.

"okay, I get it."

Just then, the carriage stopped in front of the General's Mansion. Murong Xuewei reached out and lifted the curtain, getting out of the carriage.

Uncle Lin was delighted to see the two of them return and went to greet them.

"lady……"

"Liuli, please move my things to the Orchid Garden next door!"

Uncle Lin looked at Murong Xuewei with a puzzled expression, "Why does Madam suddenly want to move things?"

Gu Ye got off the carriage and, hearing that Murong Xuewei was moving things, went up to ask her what was wrong.

Why did Xuewei suddenly decide to move to Lanyuan?

Murong Xuewei merely glanced at Gu Ye indifferently, "General, you and I have always been partners. Now that I have achieved my goal of becoming your wife, I naturally will not bother you any longer."

"You..." Gu Ye was about to say something when he was interrupted.

"Thank you for your care during this time, General Gu. What I said before still stands. As long as you have the token, you can withdraw cash from any of the Murong family's shops."

"Okay." All the words I wanted to say were ultimately reduced to a single, soft "okay."

As Gu Ye watched Murong Xuewei's departing figure, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

This feeling became even stronger after returning to the courtyard.

Uncle Lin followed Gu Ye back to Qingsong Garden. "Young Master, there's something I'm not sure if I should ask."

"Uncle Lin, you want to ask about Xuewei and me, right?" Gu Ye sighed heavily.

“A month ago, I went to the Murong family to borrow military funds and happened to meet her. She proposed cooperation, saying that as long as I came to the capital in the name of my wife to facilitate her actions, I could take the military funds at will and return them whenever I wanted.”

Uncle Lin shook his head. "No, that's not what I wanted to ask. What I wanted to ask is, young master, do you love your wife?"

"Love." Gu Ye kept repeating this word.

Does he love Murong Xuewei? Did he really agree to cooperate with Murong Xuewei just for the sake of military funds?

“Young Master, I’m not saying this out of malice, but although the Murong family is the wealthiest merchant family, they are still just a merchant family. While they can be of help to your great cause, you must remember not to act on impulse.” Uncle Lin’s eyes gleamed, completely unlike his usual kind and amiable demeanor.

Gu Ye looked up at Uncle Lin upon hearing this, and Uncle Lin continued.

"If the young master truly likes you and spoils you, that's fine. But if you delay his important matters, don't blame this old servant for being ruthless."

"Uncle Lin, I know everything about my situation. You're not allowed to touch her." Gu Ye looked at Uncle Lin angrily.

"If the young master can remember the important matters, this old servant naturally does not need to worry about these trivial matters. However, if the young master forgets the important matters because of a woman, then this old servant will have to remind the young master."

Gu Ye clenched his fists, but in the end, he could only helplessly let them loosen.

"I know, I won't let it interfere with important matters."

Suddenly the door to the room was pushed open, and Murong Xuewei walked in.

Gu Ye stared intently at Murong Xuewei, his eyes filled with wariness, fearing that Uncle Lin might do something rash.

"What are you doing?"

"Replying to Madam, this old servant wanted to ask what the young master's plans are for tomorrow." Uncle Lin had now returned to his usual demeanor.

Murong Xuewei nodded, walked to the bedside and picked up a pillow. "I just came back to get a pillow; the servants forgot to bring it."

"How could I trouble you, Madam, to make such a fuss over such trivial matters? I'll go and give those lazy servants a good scolding later."

"No, no need. I just felt too stuffy in the room and wanted to come out for a walk," Murong Xuewei quickly stopped her.

"I see! The peonies in the Prime Minister's residence have recently bloomed. If you are bored, Madam, you can have a servant lead the way to see them. I suppose you are from the frontier and have never seen a large field of peonies in bloom before!"
