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

After putting away the letter, Murong Xuewei turned to Liuli and instructed her that now that the troubles in Tongniu County were over, it was time to deal with Jiang Lingyun and Murong Lian.

During this time, Murong Xuewei had been having Liuli secretly keep an eye on Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun.

Since Jiang Lingyun was willing to escape with Murong Lian, Murong Lian must have promised Jiang Lingyun something.

Moreover, this was something Jiang Lingyun couldn't refuse.

Murong Xuewei looked up at a portrait of a beautiful woman on the wall. "I wonder what Jiang Lingyun will choose when this condition conflicts with his career?"

"What are you saying, Madam?" Liuli asked in confusion.

Murong Xuewei beckoned to Liuli, who leaned in and whispered a few words to her.

Liuli's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded quickly, "Madam, I'll take care of it right away."

After saying that, Liuli ran out in a flash.

Watching Liuli leave, Murong Xuewei picked up her pen again and wrote a letter back to Gu Ye.

This flood is just the beginning; there will be even bigger floods to come, affecting more than just Tongniu County.

In the previous life, the flood in Tongniu County was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the entire Jinyu Prefecture was hit by a massive flood.

That disaster caused hundreds of thousands of casualties and even affected several state capitals. If the same thing happens again this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

To avoid repeating the same mistake, Xuewei wrote in her letter:

"Gu Ye, although the crisis in Tongniu County has been resolved, we must not let our guard down. I have a feeling this is just the beginning, and an even greater disaster may be on the horizon."

"I suggest you immediately leave personnel to closely monitor the rainfall situation in the Jiangnan region. If anything unusual is detected, take immediate action to evacuate the residents."

"At the same time, we must strengthen the maintenance of river embankments to ensure sufficient flood control capacity. This battle may last a long time, and we must make thorough preparations in advance."

After writing this, Xue Wei sighed. The floods of her previous life had destroyed the homes and lives of tens of thousands of people.

Murong Xuewei felt that her power was limited and that this was all she could do to help.

Just as Xue Wei sealed the letter and was about to send it out, Uncle Lin hurriedly walked in, looking somewhat flustered.

"Madam, something terrible has happened!" Uncle Lin stepped forward and said, "A royal decree has arrived from the palace. The Emperor summons you to a banquet in seven days. If the Emperor finds out the General is not at home, it's a capital offense."

Murong Xuewei thought for a moment, "Uncle Lin, there's no need to rush."

Murong Xuewei reopened the letter and added a sentence: "Immediately summoned to the palace banquet, return immediately."

Put it back in its place and hand it to Uncle Lin, asking him to deliver it to Tongniu County as quickly as possible.

Uncle Lin nodded in agreement, picked up the letter, and sent someone to deliver it.

Murong Xuewei began to think. Although Murong Xuewei, as Gu Ye's wife, was indeed qualified to be invited to the palace banquet.

But the Emperor's sudden request for her to attend was quite unusual.

However, she had to remain vigilant no matter what. After all, the palace had always been a place of fierce infighting, and Murong Xuewei didn't want anyone to take advantage of her.

Seven days later, Murong Xuewei casually picked out a dress from the wardrobe. It was the most ordinary and simple dress, which she put on without thinking. Her hair was also styled casually by Liuli, and she didn't wear any particularly gorgeous jewelry. She simply tied it up with a silver hairpin.

This outfit is so simple it couldn't be simpler; some girls from wealthier families wouldn't even look at it.

Murong Xuewei did not receive a reply from Gu Ye or see him return until she entered the palace.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Murong Xuewei boarded the royal carriage.

Murong Xuewei was determined to attend today's palace banquet, regardless of the circumstances. After all, even if she didn't attend, she would still find a way to enter the palace if summoned by the Emperor.

After entering the palace, Murong Xuewei and Liuli, led by a maid, casually found a pavilion to sit down and rest.

Two figures flashed by in the distance.

Liuli looked at the two people and felt they looked familiar. "Madam, aren't those Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Wei frowned slightly. Jiang Lingyun was Xiao Wan Ning's confidante, while Murong Lian was her cousin; their simultaneous appearance was no coincidence.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Xuewei asked.

Liuli nodded vigorously: "Absolutely true! They were acting suspiciously, as if they were plotting something."

Murong Xuewei pondered for a moment, alarm bells ringing in her mind. She had long known that Xiao Wanning harbored hostility towards her, and now it seemed that this palace banquet was bound to be quite a spectacle.

"I understand. Don't alert them. Let's see what they're up to." Xue Wei waved for Liu Li to hide, then fell into deep thought.

She couldn't help but recall her past life. In that world, Xiao Wan Ning had repeatedly plotted against her, even trying to kill her. Now it seemed that this cunning princess hadn't shaken off her old habits.

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.

If you want to play, then I'll play with you, my dear princess. You must have a great time!

Before long, the palace maid who had led the way returned, to tell Murong Xuewei that the palace banquet had begun.

As Murong Xuewei walked along the road, she kept thinking about why Gu Ye hadn't returned yet.

As the first general of the Taichu Kingdom, Gu Ye's position has always been relatively high.

With a nervous heart, Murong Xuewei reluctantly sat down.

The emperor raised his wine cup and uttered some symbolic official words.

After several rounds of drinks, the emperor turned his attention to Murong Xuewei.

"Is this Mrs. Gu?"

Murong Xuewei rose and bowed, "It is indeed I."

"Madam Gu, we met three months ago. I wonder if you remember us?"

Murong Xuewei wondered why the Emperor suddenly brought this up.

"Actually, I have always envied General Gu. He was only injured at the border, but he was able to be rescued by a great beauty like Madam Gu."

Murong Xuewei replied somewhat awkwardly, "It is General Gu who is dedicated to the country and the people. It is my good fortune to have been able to save General Gu."

"I truly envy this good fortune!" The emperor was interrupted by an official as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has important matters to report."

The emperor was annoyed by the sudden interruption and had been suppressing his anger, his hand gripping the cup so tightly it was almost cracked.

"My dear minister, today is just a family banquet, we will not discuss matters of state."

The emperor spoke these words almost through gritted teeth.

Normally, these old ministers would point fingers at him in court, but today, the emperor just wanted to chat with his beauty and have some fun, and these people still had to nag him, which really annoyed the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, Chen, you can't speak now!" The old minister was stubborn and insisted on speaking at this moment.

In the end, the emperor could only suppress his temper and said, "What is it? Please grant me permission."
