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

"Madam Gu, we'll let you in right away."

Murong Xuewei kicked one of the guards in the leg, "As royal guards, you don't even have any sense of propriety. I really don't know why the Emperor would assign you to do this job."

This kick perfectly showcased Murong Xuewei's arrogance and domineering nature; the two guards had no idea that Murong Xuewei was a member of the Murong family.

Murong Xuewei entered the courtyard of the Murong family mansion. She looked around curiously.

As the wealthiest family in the Taichu Kingdom, the Murong family's old mansion, while not exactly bustling, certainly had no shortage of maids and servants.

But the old Murong residence is now lifeless and silent.

It was the season when the flowers were in full bloom, but the weeds in the garden were growing even better than the flowers.

As Murong Xuewei walked further in, just as she was about to pass through the garden, one of the guards stopped her.

"Madam Gu, this is the inner quarters, please don't go in."

Murong Xuewei's face turned cold. "Do you think I wanted to come in here? If my kite hadn't fallen in, I wouldn't have bothered coming in at all."

Murong Xuewei kicked the guard again, knocking him to the ground, and then kicked him again.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and find me a kite."

Although the two guards were dissatisfied with Murong Xuewei, they dared not do anything to her because she was the wife of the ever-victorious general and Gu Ye was a respected figure. They could only suppress their anger and go find a kite for Murong Xuewei.

While the two guards were looking for the lost kite, Murong Xuewei quietly slipped into the backyard.

After searching around but not finding her uncle and his family, Murong Xuewei could only pretend to be looking for a kite.

"Oh dear, my kite! Where have you flown off to?" she exclaimed loudly, pretending to be looking for the kite.

In fact, Murong Xuewei's eyes were constantly darting around, trying to find her uncle's family.

Before Murong Xuewei could find her uncle's family, one of the guards had already come looking for her.

"Oh my! My lady, what brings you here?"

Perhaps because Murong Xuewei's side was making quite a commotion, they finally saw their cousin Murong Yuxuan.

"You have the nerve to ask me, Madam? I... Madam, whether you found the kite or not?"

"This..." The guard looked troubled. "I'll go find it right away, but we really can't go in here!"

Murong Yuxuan walked up to Murong Xuewei with a kite in his hand. "Madam, is this the kite you dropped?"

Murong Xuewei suppressed the urge to acknowledge him, and with slightly red eyes, took the kite from Murong Yuxuan's hand.

"Who are you? You found my kite, and I'm going to reward you."

The guards stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Madam, there's no need. This is the eldest son of the Murong family. You know the Murong family, right? They are the wealthiest merchants in our Taichu Kingdom. He has no shortage of money."

Murong Xuewei slapped the guard across the face in anger. "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? What do you mean by the richest merchant? You're just a businessman. Such a big mansion, and you can't even afford a few maids and servants. You still have the nerve to call yourself the richest merchant family?"

Murong Xuewei's voice choked up a little when she talked about the first wealthy merchant family.

Yes! The Murong family is known as the richest family in the Taichu Kingdom, but my uncle's family is indeed living a very frugal life.

"This reward is something I absolutely must give you. If you dare to stop me, you'd better think twice about how many lives you have."

Murong Xuewei's words carried a hint of anger, leaving the guard in a dilemma. In the end, he had no choice but to let Murong Xuewei have her way.

Murong Xuewei took out a handkerchief, wrapped a few silver ingots and copper coins in it, and deliberately tossed it to Murong Yuxuan.

"I only brought this little bit of silver with me when I went out today. I'm giving it to you as a reward for finding my kite."

Murong Yuxuan caught the silver coins that Murong Xuewei threw to him and put them into his sleeve pocket.

"Thank you for your kind gift, Madam."

Murong Xuewei swaggered out of the Murong family mansion with a kite in her hand.

Where Murong Xuewei couldn't see, she had barely left when two guards immediately slipped back and caught Murong Yuxuan.

"Hand over the silver that Madam Gu just gave you."

Murong Yuxuan calmly took out all the silver that Murong Xuewei had just given him.

Upon seeing this, the two guards snatched the handkerchief, opened it, took the silver, and threw the handkerchief on the ground.

"He claims to be the richest merchant! As the eldest son of the Murong family, all he has is a pittance, not even enough for us brothers to have a cup of tea!"

“That’s right. I think what Madam Gu said is true. She’s not the richest merchant. I think she’s more like the poorest merchant.”

Murong Yuxuan seemed to be used to the two's behavior. After they took the silver and left, he squatted down, picked up the silk handkerchief, carefully folded it, and put it in his bosom.

Murong Xueyao came out and saw Murong Yuxuan being bullied. She was about to rush out to confront the two men when Murong Yuxuan pulled her back.

"Brother, we are members of the Murong family. If we are bullied by two small fry like this, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?"

"It was just robbery. A few ingots of silver, it's hardly bullying. Besides, if it weren't for them, why would the Xiao royal family be so lenient with us? We'd probably be in jail by now." Murong Yuxuan paused, then continued, "I just saw Xue Wei."

Upon hearing Murong Xuewei's name, Murong Xueyao was overjoyed.

"Really? You saw Sister Xuewei? Where is she? Why didn't you invite her in?"

Murong Yuxuan pulled Murong Xueyao back, signaling her to lower her voice, "Xuewei must have come here hiding her identity, otherwise if the Xiao royal family knew her identity, they wouldn't have let her in so easily."

Murong Xueyao sighed, "When will this ever end! I don't want to stay in the capital anymore, I want to go back to Jiangnan."

Murong Yuxuan patted Murong Xueyao's head to comfort her, saying, "Just bear with it a little longer. Now that Xuewei is here, she will definitely have a way to get us out of here."

"Hey, brother, you mentioned seeing Sister Xuewei earlier, so what did you two talk about?"

Murong Yuxuan took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Murong Xueyao. Murong Xueyao took the handkerchief and looked at it over and over, but couldn't figure out anything.

"There's nothing on it!" Murong Xueyao thought. "Does it mean I have to soak it in water or roast it over a fire to see anything?"

"It's not as complicated as you think. It's just an ordinary handkerchief."

"Ah! An ordinary handkerchief, what use is that!"

Murong Xueyao then thought, "It's hard to believe that Sister Xuewei's words are hidden in those silver coins. I must go and get the silver coins back."

After saying that, Murong Xueyao angrily tried to ask for the money again, but Murong Yuxuan pulled her back.

"You little rascal! I always tell you to read less fiction and more military strategy books, but you never listen."

"Huh! Isn't that wrong too?"
