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

As soon as Murong Xuewei entered the side hall, Jiang Lingyun rushed towards her like a madman, raising his hand to grab her, but then saw the maid beside Murong Xuewei.

"Dismiss all your servants." Jiang Lingyun glared at Murong Xuewei with bloodshot eyes and said through gritted teeth.

"Young Master Jiang, you're quite the show-off, even daring to act so arrogantly in my General's Mansion." Murong Xuewei glanced at Jiang Lingyun lightly, completely disregarding him.

Jiang Lingyun was further angered by Murong Xuewei's nonchalant attitude. She clenched her fists, which were hidden in her sleeves. "I'll say it again, tell your maids to leave, or I'm not sure if I'll say something I shouldn't."

Murong Xuewei frowned. "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm threatening you, what can you do about it?" Jiang Lingyun glanced at the maid. "You'd better listen to me, or I can't guarantee I won't bring up Madam's previous identity."

Murong Xuewei stared at Jiang Lingyun for a long time before finally dismissing the servants.

As soon as the servant left, she grabbed Murong Xuewei's arm tightly. "Murong Xuewei, you bitch! Did you do something to me? The matter of Tongniu County was already settled. Did you frame me?"

Murong Xuewei felt nauseous at Jiang Lingyun's sudden approach and wanted to vomit. "Lord Jiang, you overestimate me. I am just a woman. How could I possibly manage matters of the court? Not to mention the matter of Tongniu County, which was decided by the Emperor. Are you questioning the Emperor, Lord Jiang?"

"You...you're talking nonsense!" Jiang Lingyun cautiously looked around. "You and I are the only people in the entire capital who have a grudge against each other. If you hadn't instructed Gu Ye to interfere, how could the imperial envoy position have fallen to someone else?"

"Lord Jiang, what a big mouth you have! It's true that Gu Ye is my husband, but even if I can order someone to beat Gu Ye, can I order the Emperor to do the same?" Murong Xuewei coldly shook off Jiang Lingyun's hand, rubbing her reddened wrist, and gave Jiang Lingyun a disdainful look.

"Instead of questioning whether I did it, Lord Jiang should think carefully about whether it is his own fault."

Jiang Lingyun originally came to question Murong Xuewei with the intention of providing answers, but Murong Xuewei's series of questions made Jiang Lingyun begin to doubt herself. "My problem? What problem could I have? I have no problem."

"Jiang Lingyun, Jiang Lingyun, your biggest problem is that you are too arrogant?"

"Arrogant?" Jiang Lingyun was suddenly provoked by these two words, and glared at Murong Xuewei angrily. "You orchestrated the casino incident, didn't you? You framed me."

Jiang Lingyun, on the verge of a frenzy, grabbed Murong Xuewei's hand and questioned her.

Facing Jiang Lingyun, who was on the verge of madness, Murong Xuewei was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she felt a sense of pleasure.

"So what if it's me? What can you do to me?"

The moment Jiang Lingyun heard Murong Xuewei admit it, the string that had kept her rationality snapped completely.

He reached out and grabbed Murong Xuewei's neck, "You bitch, I'll kill you."

Just as Jiang Lingyun's hand was about to grab Murong Xuewei's neck, Murong Xuewei kicked Jiang Lingyun away.

Jiang Lingyun stared wide-eyed at Murong Xuewei in disbelief, "You know martial arts?"

Murong Xuewei raised an eyebrow and looked down at Jiang Lingyun, "When Xiao Wanning sent you to approach me, didn't you investigate thoroughly?"

As Jiang Lingyun watched Murong Xuewei approach step by step, a chill rose from the soles of his feet. This was the second time he had felt killing intent from someone other than Xiao Wanning.

"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, you can't kill me. If you dare to touch me, *** won't let you get away with it."

Murong Xuewei smiled at Jiang Lingyun, then pushed him away. "Jiang Lingyun, you don't think you can outmaneuver me in Haicheng, and you think you can beat me now that you have a powerful backer in the capital, do you? Let me tell you, you're dreaming."

"Murong Xuewei, don't push me too far. If you push me too far, none of us will survive. I have dirt on you."

Murong Xuewei suddenly laughed, her eyes sharp as she looked at Jiang Lingyun. "Handle? What handle? You don't really think my identity is your handle, do you? Even if you report my identity to the Emperor, so what? It's true I'm from the Murong family, but I'm also the wife of a general now. Even if the Emperor finds out my identity, at most he'll just reprimand me a few times, and I'll donate some silver to the national treasury, and that'll be the end of it. But what about you? Can you guarantee that I'll let you get away unscathed after my identity is exposed?"

Murong Xuewei's words were eloquent and insightful, causing Jiang Lingyun to retreat repeatedly.

Murong Xuewei is right. The Emperor did not say that the Murong family could not come to the capital. Once Murong Xuewei's identity is made public, she can openly take action against him.

Even if Xiao Wan Ning can protect him, how long can she protect him? Jiang Lingyun has been following Xiao Wan Ning for five years, but his identity has never been clarified. Otherwise, Jiang Lingyun would not have volunteered to go to the Murong family to seduce Murong Xuewei in the first place.

But Jiang Lingyun had been forced to this point. If he just let it go like this, where would he put his face?

Enraged, Jiang Lingyun pulled out a dagger from his boot and tried to stab Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei never expected that Jiang Lingyun would be carrying a dagger. Due to the distance, it was too late to dodge, so Murong Xuewei could only turn to the side to minimize the damage.

"Stop!" A stone flew in from outside and hit Jiang Lingyun's hand. Jiang Lingyun cried out in pain and let go.

Gu Ye walked up to Jiang Lingyun, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up. "You want to kill her?"

Jiang Lingyun was so breathless from the stimulation that she struggled desperately.

Although Murong Xuewei desperately wanted to kill Jiang Lingyun, now was not the best time to do so.

"General, please calm down. He cannot die in our mansion."

Gu Ye looked at Murong Xuewei and finally let go of her hand.

As soon as Gu Ye let go, Jiang Lingyun fell down and immediately gasped for breath.

"Gu Ye, you dare to kill an official of the imperial court! I'm going to report you to the Emperor."

Murong Xuewei kicked Jiang Lingyun, "Fine! Go ahead and sue! I want to see whether it's a bigger crime for you, an official who hasn't even been granted an official position, to break into the general's mansion and try to assassinate the general, or a bigger crime for the general to accidentally kill you while protecting his wife."

“You… I didn’t,” Jiang Lingyun protested, lying on the ground.

“Jiang Lingyun, this is the General’s Mansion.” Murong Xuewei looked at Jiang Lingyun coldly, as if she were looking at a dead man.

Jiang Lingyun could only turn her gaze to Gu Ye, "General Gu, aren't you going to do anything about your wife?"

Gu Ye glanced coldly at Jiang Lingyun, "Is my wife wrong?"

Jiang Lingyun was rendered speechless by the couple's retort. "You are all barbarians. I will not bother with you."

Seeing this, Gu Ye waved his hand and said to Jiang Lingyun, "Since you've finished speaking, please leave! If you dare to be disrespectful to my wife again, I won't hesitate to use your head to avenge her!"

Jiang Lingyun was intimidated by Gu Ye's imposing presence. Although she was still resentful, she didn't dare to provoke the general and could only turn around and leave awkwardly.

After Jiang Lingyun left, Murong Xuewei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Ye, "Thank you for saving me, General."

"Hmph, a mere gigolo dares to be arrogant in front of me." Gu Ye sneered, then added, "People like him are the most cunning. Be careful next time you see him."

Murong Xuewei smiled and said, "General, are you really concerned about me? I will definitely be more careful next time."
