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

A short while later, Liuli came downstairs. The two exchanged a glance, and Murong Xuewei, wearing a veil, followed Liuli upstairs.

The two walked to the private room next to Xiao Wan Ning's.

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei eagerly, "Madam, since we're already here, why don't we order something to eat? Look, it's already noon. When I came out this morning, I only ate one steamed bun."

Murong Xuewei looked at Liuli with a helpless expression, her eyes filled with affection, "Alright! Order whatever you want to eat!"

Liuli happily took the menu and ordered a lot, then turned to her son and said, "Hurry up and bring it out."

While the two were waiting for their food, Murong Xuewei hinted to Liuli to keep her voice down.

Liuli nodded knowingly and shut her mouth.

The two, master and servant, quietly moved behind the screen in the guest room. Liuli stepped forward and moved a painting hanging on the wall aside, instantly revealing the scene of the guest room opposite to Murong Xuewei.

It turns out that before the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was renovated, Murong Xuewei had someone hide a small mechanism in each room. Opening it would allow one to hear or even see what was happening in the next room.

At this moment, Xiao Sining and Xiao Wanning in the next room were completely unaware that their every move was being watched by Murong Xuewei.

Today, Xiao Sining specially wore a light green dress and the latest headdress from Zhenbaolou, as if she had an appointment with someone.

A maid was pouring tea for Xiao Sining, but perhaps she was distracted and accidentally spilled the tea on Xiao Sining's dress.

Xiao Sining raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "You worthless wretch, do you even know how precious this dress I'm wearing is?"

Xiao Sining then turned to Xiao Wanning and said coquettishly, "Royal sister, look at your maid, she has no sense at all, she's dirtied my dress."

Xiao Wan Ning looked up at Xiao Si Ning's dress. The light green dress had become somewhat transparent due to the tea splashes, revealing the shirt underneath.

"Qin'er, as an elder by my side, you should know the rules. Go back and receive thirty lashes yourself!"

The maid named Qin'er was clearly stunned when she heard about the thirty lashes.

She knelt down with a thud. Just when Murong Xuewei thought she was pleading for mercy, Qin'er said, "Princess, this servant will go back to receive my punishment now."

Liuli looked on in shock, “That’s thirty lashes from the madam! That beating would have taken half her life.”

Murong Xuewei was also somewhat surprised. Judging from Xiao Wanning's words, this maid named Qin'er must have been with Xiao Wanning for a long time. Moreover, Xiao Wanning and Xiao Sining did not bring any other maids with them today, only this one named Qin'er.

Logically speaking, such a maid could be considered a confidante!

They punished him without hesitation, and it was a severe punishment like thirty lashes.

Just as Murong Xuewei and Liuli were still trying to figure it out, the maid named Qin'er came out.

Murong Xuewei and Liuli exchanged a glance and followed her out.

In a small alley next to Zuixianlou, the two men cornered Qin'er.

Qin'er recognized Murong Xuewei the moment she saw her.

"Madam Murong, what are you doing?"

"you know me."

Qin'er then realized that she had said the right thing. "This servant is a maidservant of Madam. I have seen Madam from afar several times during the palace banquets."

"A palace banquet? I seem to remember that the maid who accompanied you at the last palace banquet wasn't you!"

Qin'er answered calmly, "That's Cuihong. She was sold off a few days ago for stealing jewelry from ***."

Murong Xuewei thought to herself, "Is it because I failed to stop the Emperor last time, which led to my shameful act being exposed, that I was sold off?"

However, Murong Xuewei would certainly not say these things out loud.

"Then why aren't you serving the princess closely? Where are you going?" Murong Xuewei continued to press.

"The princess has left something at the manor and has instructed me to retrieve it."

Liuli couldn't help but scoff at Qin'er's hypocritical act, saying, "I'm afraid you're not going to fetch things for the princess, but for yourself!"

Qin'er clearly didn't understand Liuli's words and looked at Liuli in confusion, "What does this young lady mean?"

Murong Xuewei smiled kindly, "My maid is always outspoken. She's just talking nonsense, so you don't need to take it to heart."

Qin'er nodded, "Then this servant will not keep Madam company any longer, this servant has important matters to attend to."

Just as Qin'er was about to walk away from Murong Xuewei, Murong Xuewei suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin'er's arm.

Qin'er suddenly felt pain and lost her balance, falling to one side. Liuli quickly caught Qin'er.

"Some of you are too weak! You fall over at the slightest touch."

Murong Xuewei still held onto the hair tightly, and Qin'er's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat.

"Madam, could you please let go? I have other things to attend to."

Seeing Qin'er's reaction, Murong Xuewei ripped open Qin'er's sleeve, instantly exposing the numerous needle marks of various sizes to Murong Xuewei's eyes.

"What is this?" The density of the needle holes surprised Liuli greatly.

Qin'er hurriedly pulled down her sleeve, "This was an accident, Madam, please let me go!"

Murong Xuewei finally let go of his hand. "Liuli, go to the pharmacy and get a bottle of wound medicine."

"Yes, Madam." Liuli said and quickly ran out.

Qin'er was in a hurry to leave, but Murong Xuewei stopped her.

"Qin'er, is that right?" Murong Xuewei looked at Qin'er.

Qin'er nodded, covering her arm.

"Judging from your long, slender fingers with few calluses, you must have been treated like a precious treasure by your parents before you went to the *** mansion!"

Qin'er was puzzled as to why Murong Xuewei brought this up. "Madam, I really have something to say. You..."

"Don't worry, I'll let you go once Liuli brings the medicine."

"Madam, what exactly do you want to do?"

Murong Xuewei smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just feel sorry for you."

Qin'er suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, pointing at herself, "Madam, are you saying I'm pitiful?"

Murong Xuewei nodded. "Isn't that right? Although you are the personal maid of the emperor, and your status is even higher than that of ordinary noble ladies in the capital, have you ever thought about your dignity as a human being in the dead of night?"

Murong Xuewei's conversation unconsciously reminded Qin'er of how, during the night watch, the *** had dragged all the night watch maids out and given twenty lashes just because they had a nightmare, and after that, they still had to keep watch.

Being a personal maid to a *** is indeed an honor, but how much untold suffering lies hidden beneath that honor?

“Madam Murong, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. If you’ve stopped me today just to say these things, it’s a complete waste of time.”

Murong Xuewei was not annoyed by Qin'er's denial.
