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

Murong Xuewei was taken aback, then realized that her current identity was that of an orphan girl who had saved Gu Ye in a border town, so she shouldn't have ever seen the peony forest.

Murong Xuewei recalled the peony flowers at Xiangguo Temple, remembering that she had also been there in her previous life, but at that time it was because of some problems in Jiang Lingyun's career.

Being targeted, Murong Xuewei came to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings.

That was the second year that Murong Xuewei accompanied Jiang Lingyun to the capital, which happened to be the time when peonies were in bloom.

At that time, she also saved someone at Xiangguo Temple. Because she was too worried about Jiang Lingyun, she left after saving him and didn't know if the person was safe afterward.

It's such a coincidence that she's only been in the capital for two months and yet she's already stumbled upon the blooming peonies.

"Really? Such a beautiful view, I definitely can't miss it."

"Then this old servant will go and instruct the people to prepare carriages and horses so that it will be convenient for Madam to travel," Uncle Lin said with a smile.

Gu Ye quickly interrupted, "No need, it's just a trip to Xiangguo Temple. There's no need for the manor to prepare carriages in advance. Madam has her own carriages that she's used to riding in."

Upon hearing Gu Ye's words, Murong Xuewei gripped the pillow tightly. "Yes! We won't trouble Uncle Lin. I'll have Liuli prepare it in a bit."

After saying that, Murong Xuewei picked up the pillow and left without looking back.

After Murong Xuewei left, Uncle Lin put away his smiling face and looked at Gu Ye.

"As long as the young master does not forget the great cause, the madam will always be this old servant's madam, and this old servant will naturally not lay a hand on the madam."

"Although the Murong family is just a merchant family, their connections are there. Even if you, Uncle Lin, are going to make a move, you should think about whether it will affect our grand plan," Gu Ye said coldly.

"Hahaha, it's wonderful that you think that way, young master." Uncle Lin laughed heartily, very satisfied with Gu Ye's words.

Murong Xuewei carried the pillow all the way back to Lanyuan.

Murong Xuewei threw her pillow onto the bed and sat down on the stool in a huff.

Liuli tidied up the pillow, walked to Murong Xuewei's side, and poured her a cup of tea.

"Ma'am, what's going on?"

"It's nothing. I just saw an annoying bug on the way back."

"Oh!" Liuli nodded, then remembered something, "Madam sent word from Haicheng that Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun were not caught up, and it seems they have already entered the capital."

Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun. A few days ago, Murong Xuewei was so busy rescuing Gu Ye and then went to attend the banquet at the Wen family mansion that she almost forgot about these two.

"Tell them over there that they don't need to chase after him anymore. Liuli, go and make arrangements. Find a few people to go to a small alley in the south of the city and find a house with a blue cloth strip hanging on the door. Jiang Lingyun is there right now."

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei in shock, "Madam, how did you know where they were?"

“That’s Jiang Lingyun’s old house. He will definitely go back when he returns to the capital.”

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei with admiration, "Madam, you are really amazing! You know everything."

"Hurry up and get on with your business! Don't wait any longer and they'll all disappear."

"Yes, Madam, I'll take care of it right away." Liuli ran out quickly, leading her men to arrest Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun.

Murong Xuewei picked up the tea in front of her and took a small sip. As for why she knew about this place...

We have to thank Jiang Lingyun for this.

In her past life, Jiang Lingyun deliberately brought her to the capital to dampen her arrogance, and instead of letting her stay in a restaurant, he forced her to stay in the old house with Jiang Lingyun.

In the end, Murong Xuewei couldn't take it anymore and repeatedly agreed to Jiang Lingyun's request. She even handed over the deed to the newly purchased house in the capital to Jiang Lingyun before she could move out of the old house.

Now that Jiang Lingyun has escaped from Haicheng, he has no money on him and will certainly not take Murong Lian to stay at a restaurant.

Moreover, in Jiang Lingyun's eyes at this moment, Murong Lian probably doesn't even deserve to stay at the restaurant!

Murong Xuewei suddenly remembered another purpose of her trip to the capital: to take all her family members from the old mansion in the capital.

Emperor Xiao Yi is keeping a close watch on the people at the Murong family's old residence, so we need to find a way to see our uncles.

Murong Xuewei put down her teacup and stared blankly at the teapot in front of her, pondering if there was any good solution.

Suddenly a butterfly flew onto the teacup, landing on the rim, its slender beak constantly probing the edge.

Murong Xuewei came up with a solution.

As evening fell, Murong Xuewei, accompanied by the servants of the mansion, went to the street outside the Murong family residence and flew a kite.

Murong Xuewei launched a butterfly-shaped kite into the sky, and she ran around on the ground holding the string, having a great time.

Suddenly, the string in Murong Xuewei's hand snapped, and the kite fell straight into the courtyard of the Murong family mansion.

Murong Xuewei walked to the gate and was about to step inside.

They were stopped by two guards at the door.

"How dare you! Do you even know where this place is? You just barge in like that."

"My kite fell inside, I just went to get it out."

"What kite? Take it back where you brought it. Don't cause trouble here."

Murong Xuewei crossed her arms and acted extremely arrogantly, "Who do you know? You dare to stop me? Do you believe I'll cut your head off?"

The guards weren't afraid; instead, they laughed, "Hahaha, brother, did you hear that? This little girl is going to make our heads roll."

Another guard teased Murong Xuewei, "Little girl, do you know who we are? Let me tell you, we are here on the Emperor's orders to protect the Murong family. If you dare to cause trouble here, not only will you lose your head, but your whole family might not be able to keep their heads either."

"My whole family, including the ever-victorious General Gu Ye?"

The two guards were taken aback. "What did you say?"

Murong Xuewei's lips curled into a cold smile, "Did I say that includes the ever-victorious General Gu Ye? He is my husband, and naturally my entire family includes him!"

The two guards exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's tears.

How come they can't afford to offend just anyone who comes here?

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be afraid of any official in the imperial court, not even the prime minister or the civil minister.

But this young lady's backer is actually the ever-victorious General Gu Ye.

Those who served as soldiers and guards were most knowledgeable about military affairs. If it weren't for Gu Ye, the Taichu Kingdom would probably have been annexed by its neighboring countries long ago.

It's not their place to guard this place anymore!

The two guards exchanged glances and came to the same conclusion: this little girl was not to be trifled with.

The two called over Murong Xuewei, "That Madam Gu, we were blind to your greatness. We'll give you this opportunity to go in."
