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

"Am I the one who should fight him? He's the one who's been relentlessly targeting our Murong family. What did our Murong family do wrong? Just because we're wealthy, does he want to confiscate our property and exterminate our clan?" Murong Xuewei became more and more agitated as she spoke, and almost wanted to take action towards the end.

Murong Yuxuan held Murong Xuewei down, "Xuewei, calm down, Xuewei."

Murong Xueyao was also startled by Murong Xuewei's expression. "Sister Xuewei, what are you saying?"

Murong Xuewei then realized that this was not her previous life, and that her family was still alive and well in this life.

"I'm sorry, I was too emotional." Murong Xuewei composed herself and sat back down.

"Sister Xuewei, you just said that our family was raided and our clan was wiped out. Would the Xiao royal family really go that far?" Murong Xueyao asked.

Murong Xuewei lowered her head in deep thought. In her previous life, her uncle's family was placed under house arrest in the capital and exploited to the point of exhaustion by the Xiao royal family. In the end, they were falsely accused of a crime.

My cousin Murong Yuxuan was exiled to the border, my cousin Murong Xueyao was forced into prostitution, and my uncle and aunt were torn apart by five horses.

Murong Xuewei went to Jiang Lingyun to ask him to plead with Xiao Wanning, but Jiang Lingyun kept giving her the runaround, saying that the princess was pleading for her, but in reality, Xiao Wanning did nothing.

It was even Xiao Wanning who suggested that her cousin be forced into prostitution.

Poor Murong Xuewei only found out after her uncle and aunt had died.

Murong Xuewei had also considered using the Murong family's money to get Murong Xueyao and Murong Yuxuan out.

However, she learned that her cousin Murong Yuxuan had died on the way to the border, and her cousin Murong Xueyao had committed suicide because she could not bear to be humiliated.

Upon receiving the message, Murong Xuewei slapped herself twice, hating herself for listening to Jiang Lingyun and for not trying to find a solution herself.

Since Heaven has given Murong Xuewei a second chance in this life, she must save her uncle's family this time, no matter what it takes.

Originally, her uncle's family was kept in the capital for their sake, and in this life, Murong Xuewei could not let her uncle's family down again.

"The Xiao royal family has always been selfish and self-serving. They can imprison people for money, so confiscating their property is nothing to them."

Murong Xueyao looked at Murong Yuxuan, "Brother, will our house really be raided?"

Murong Yuxuan sighed, "That's unlikely."

"Ah! What should we do then! Brother, Sister Xuewei, I don't want to die yet," Murong Xueyao pouted and said coquettishly.

Murong Xuewei patted Murong Xueyao's head and said, "Don't worry, Yaoyao, with your sister here, I'll make sure you live to be a hundred."

Murong Yuxuan sensed Murong Xuewei's motives. "Xuewei, what do you want to do?"

Murong Xuewei's lips curled up into a smile, "Nothing much, just causing some trouble for the Xiao royal family."

"Xuewei..." Murong Yuxuan wanted to persuade Murong Xuewei again.

Murong Xuewei interrupted him, "Brother Yuxuan, you don't need to persuade me. My mind is made up. I will definitely rescue you."

“I didn’t mean to stop you. I just wanted to ask what your plans are and if there’s anything I can help you with.”

Murong Xuewei felt a warmth in her heart. This is what family is like. No matter what you do, they will stand behind you and support you without hesitation.

"There really is. If nothing unexpected happens, at the next palace banquet, the emperor will ask the Murong family to donate money and give my uncle a title as compensation for the donation. Please make sure my uncle refuses."

Murong Yuxuan was shocked. "Xuewei, how did you know about the major flooding in Tongniu County next month?"

Murong Xuewei lowered her head and remained silent. "It's hard to explain in a short time, but Brother Yuxuan, you must believe me. You must make Uncle refuse, no matter what excuse you use."

“But Sister Xuewei, if we don’t donate money, won’t the people of Tongniu County suffer a lot?”

"Don't worry, Yao Yao. I have my own plans and I will make sure that the people of Tongniu County don't suffer."

Murong Xueyao then nodded.

Murong Xuewei glanced at the sky; it was already quite late.

"Brother Yuxuan, Yaoyao, you should go back first today! The effects of the sleeping potion should be wearing off soon."

Murong Xueyao reluctantly left with Murong Yuxuan, and even after leaving the pavilion, she kept turning back to look at Murong Xuewei.

After Murong Xueyao and Murong Yuxuan left, Murong Xuewei lay on the table, recalling the tragic deaths of Murong Xueyao and Murong Yuxuan in her previous life.

Lost in thought, Murong Xuewei fell asleep on the table.

A gust of cold wind blew by, startling Murong Xuewei awake.

She looked up and met Gu Ye's eyes, instantly plunging into his unfathomable black pupils.

Gu Ye paused, holding the cloak, hesitating whether to drape it over Murong Xuewei's shoulders.

"Well, I happened to be on a mission near Xiangguo Temple, so I thought I'd come and see you."

Tears still clung to the corners of Murong Xuewei's eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, General." Murong Xuewei came back to her senses.

Have you encountered any difficulties lately?

Looking at Murong Xuewei's red and swollen eyes, Gu Ye resisted the urge to wipe away her tears and hold her tightly in his arms to comfort her.

Murong Xuewei felt a cool sensation on her face and wiped away the tears. She said softly, "We encountered some minor problems, but fortunately they have all been resolved."

"That's good!" Gu Ye nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Murong Xuewei noticed the cloak in Gu Ye's hand. "General, is this for me?"

Gu Ye then remembered that he had just seen Murong Xuewei lying on the table, crying so sadly in her sleep, so he wanted to take off his cloak and cover Murong Xuewei with it.

"Oh! Right, but it seems like we don't need to now."

Murong Xuewei took the cloak from Gu Ye's hand and put it on.

“Who said we don’t need it? Although it’s summer, we’re still in the mountains and forests, and it can get chilly at night. This cloak is just the right thing to do.”

After tying her cloak, Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye again.

"General, how much longer will this mission take?"

Gu Ye was clearly taken aback when Murong Xuewei suddenly asked about the mission, because she never expected that Murong Xuewei would care about his mission.

"That will probably take about ten more days," Gu Ye answered honestly.

"After this mission is completed, does the general have anything else to do?" Murong Xuewei asked.

Gu Ye shook his head. "No more for now."

"Then please do me another favor, General!"

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll definitely get it done."

Having known each other for so long, apart from the initial request made by Murong Xuewei at the beginning of their collaboration, she has never made any demands on Gu Ye.

Murong Xuewei suddenly made a condition to Gu Ye, and Gu Ye agreed without hesitation.

"General, aren't you going to ask what this is about?" Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye with some disbelief.
