Gu Ye brushed a strand of hair from Murong Xuewei's temple and tucked it behind her ear. "If he comes to cause you trouble again in the future, just have a servant come to me."

Gu Ye's sudden action made Murong Xuewei's cheeks flush slightly. "No need, I can handle Jiang Lingyun alone."

“Jiang Lingyun is indeed not a threat, but Xiao Wanning behind him has always been intolerant of any wrongdoing. Hitting Jiang Lingyun is like slapping her in the face.” Gu Ye sighed heavily.

Murong Xuewei nodded, "I know Xiao Wanning is not someone to be trifled with, but I, Murong Xuewei, am not someone to be trifled with either."

Gu Ye shook his head helplessly, "Why can't you understand what I mean?"

Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye with some confusion, "What do you mean? What do you mean?"

"I..." Gu Ye hesitated, "Hey! It's nothing. Just remember, if you ever have any problems in the future, just come to me."

"Can Xiao Wan Ning come to you if she's looking for trouble?" Murong Xuewei asked curiously.

Gu Ye reached out to touch Murong Xuewei's face, but instead patted her head instead.

"can."

"If I were to deal with Xiao Wanning, would you help me?" Murong Xuewei stared at Gu Ye with her big, hazy eyes, as if waiting for his answer.

Gu Ye was clearly taken aback by Murong Xuewei's question and was stunned.

"Can you do it?" Murong Xuewei asked again, unwilling to give up.

It's as if I absolutely have to get an answer today, no matter what.

"I will. No matter what you do, I will stand behind you and support you without hesitation."

Looking into those stubborn eyes, Gu Ye recalled the first time he met Murong Xuewei.

At that time, she was so clever and lively. When faced with other people's schemes, she could not only avoid them, but also fight back.

Especially the fact that Murong Xuewei was from the Murong family and held power shocked Gu Ye even more.

Such a delicate and frail young woman is actually the head of the Murong family, which is famous throughout Jiangnan.

Gu Ye thought to himself, "This wife seems quite smart, so why is she so clueless about some things?"

But sometimes Gu Ye didn't want Murong Xuewei to understand. If she really had to bear this feeling alone, Gu Ye would rather bear it himself.

Murong Xuewei sensed that Gu Ye, who had been quite happy, suddenly seemed to be shrouded in an aura of sorrow.

"Gu Ye, are you alright? If you think I'm too much trouble, there are some things I can handle myself."

Gu Ye shook his head. "No, I just suddenly remembered that there are still some military affairs in the barracks that I haven't finished dealing with."

"Then don't delay any longer, hurry up and deal with it!" Murong Xuewei pushed Gu Ye to walk out.

"Aren't you going to let me stay?" Gu Ye asked curiously.

Murong Xuewei tilted her head, "Why should I keep you?"

Gu Ye was stunned for a moment. "But my brothers in the army, every time they return to camp, their wives can't forget them."

Murong Xuewei chuckled, "People talk about proper couples, but you and I are a contractual couple, so it's different. Besides, as a general of a country, you bear a different burden than others. Even if we were a normal couple, I don't think I should restrict you!"

"Is that right?"

Murong Xuewei pushed Gu Ye towards the door, "Yes, yes, you should go and handle military affairs!"

Gu Ye walked to the door, then turned back to Murong Xuewei and said, "Xuewei, you must remember that no matter what you do, I will support you. The entire General's Mansion will be your backing, even if it means going against the whole world."

Murong Xuewei was stunned by Gu Ye's sudden confession.

Are you trying to express your feelings to me?

Just as Gu Ye was about to say yes, he caught a glimpse of Uncle Lin and Liuli walking over from outside.

The only alternative way to put it is, "We are partners after all, so we should still show some support and trust."

After saying that, Gu Ye left. Watching Gu Ye's retreating figure, Murong Xuewei was lost in thought.

Was Gu Ye confessing his feelings to her just now?

But Gu Ye said that this was just a matter of trust in his partner.

At this moment, Liuli and Uncle Lin walked in. Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei, who was still in a daze, and patted Murong Xuewei on the shoulder.

"Madam, what's wrong? Why are you staring blankly at the door?"

Murong Xuewei then came to her senses. "I'm fine, I was just thinking about some things."

Uncle Lin stepped forward respectfully and said, "Madam, the General instructed us in front of the Li residence that if Jiang Lingyun comes again, we should just stop him at the gate and not pay any attention to him. If he dares to cause trouble in my General's residence, I will report him to the authorities."

Murong Xuewei nodded, "General, you are very kind."

Murong Xuewei stared blankly at the disappearing figure at the door, not expecting that Gu Ye had even thought of this.

"Uncle Lin, I'd like to go out for a walk. I'll leave the affairs of the manor to you today."

After saying that, Murong Xuewei walked out, with Liuli jogging behind her.

Liuli asked curiously, "Madam, I think the General treats you very well. Would you like to consider telling the General something about this?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head, her eyes filled with determination, "Let's forget about it! The general has his own things to attend to."

Murong Xuewei didn't want to drag anyone else down with her; this was her revenge, and she should take it upon herself.

After leaving the mansion, Murong Xuewei went straight to Zuixianlou.

Murong Xuewei quietly brought Liuli to the backstage of Zuixianlou, where Murong Xuewei held information that the manager had recently collected.

As I flipped through the pages, I found that most of the records were scandalous stories about young men from wealthy families.

After reading two pages, Liuli lost interest and tossed the booklet aside.

"What's so interesting about this, Madam? It's all just a bunch of useless scandalous affairs."

Liuli turned to a page and pointed to it, "For example, look at this. The Minister's son went to brothels several times and he even remembers the girls he met so clearly. What use is this information?"

Murong Xuewei smiled slightly, "Liuli, don't underestimate these scandalous matters. Sometimes they may seem useless, but if you look closely, you can still find some useful information in them."

Murong Xuewei turned to a page and pointed it out to Liuli, "For example, look at this one. On the surface, it's about a lecherous young master from a noble family harassing a respectable woman, but look at who stepped in to help him resolve the matter in the end."

Liuli looked over with curiosity and asked in confusion, "Did *** help him solve this? So their family is in the *** team?"

Murong Xuewei nodded with satisfaction, "It seems you've learned a lot recently. You can even see through the tricks behind his back."

Murong Xuewei paused for a moment, then continued, "But you're mistaken this time; he's not from the *** camp."
