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

Liuli listened with only a vague understanding, seemingly comprehending yet not quite, and nodded with a slight sense of confusion.

"Madam, what should we do next?"

Murong Xuewei picked up the booklet she had brought back from Zuixianlou again, her slender fingers tracing the pages.

"The next step is definitely to win over Cui'er!"

"Ah! Madam, weren't we supposed to be trying to win over Qin'er? How did it turn into Cui'er?"

Murong Xuewei smiled brightly, "Qin'er has been by Xiao Wanning's side for so long, how easy is it to turn her against us?"

"So what should we do next, Madam?"

Murong Xuewei's gaze fell on the osmanthus tree outside the window. Summer was almost over, but it was still exceptionally hot.

"Imagine a filial son who sells himself to bury his father, and then someone suddenly appears and saves him from dire straits. How would you repay that kindness?"

Although Liuli didn't know why Murong Xuewei would suddenly ask this question, she thought for a moment and replied, "I would probably repay her with my life!"

"Then let's lend a hand and help this Cui'er."

"Oh! Madam, I understand."

Murong Xuewei patted Liuli on the shoulder, "Then I'll leave this matter to you!"

Liuli nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely complete it perfectly."

After saying that, Liuli happily went out.

Murong Xuewei lay on the couch, recalling the events that had occurred since she arrived in the capital.

Most of them relied on her memories of her past life to avoid risks or make predictions in advance.

But some things are completely different from the previous life. For example, the flood in Tongniu County should have happened next year according to the original trajectory, but it happened a year earlier.

I wonder if it was because my rebirth changed the course of some things that caused a series of chain reactions.

If that's really the case, then there's a possibility that these things might happen earlier than expected.

Lost in thought, Murong Xuewei fell asleep without realizing it.

When Gu Ye returned, he saw Murong Xuewei lying on the couch, her brows furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare.

Gu Ye gently rubbed away Murong Xuewei's furrowed brows, but Murong Xuewei started to squirm because of her sleeping position.

Seeing that she would fall if she moved any further, Gu Ye stepped forward to support Murong Xuewei's head and sat her on the couch at an angle.

He held Murong Xuewei in his arms, trying to make her as comfortable as possible.

I thought Murong Xuewei would wake up around dinner time at the latest, but she ended up sleeping until evening.

When Murong Xuewei woke up, she realized that she was almost half on top of Gu Ye.

Murong Xuewei was still curious, since her rebirth she had never had a good night's sleep, but today she slept so comfortably after just a nap.

Murong Xuewei's room had a small bed, usually only big enough for Murong Xuewei to sleep on. If Gu Ye came, there wouldn't be enough room for him to sleep. Now, with two people lying on the bed, Gu Ye was leaning against the bed in a particularly strange position.

Murong Xuewei didn't know how long she had slept like this. When she saw that Gu Ye hadn't woken up yet, she got up to get a blanket for him.

This movement alone alerted Gu Ye.

"General, you're awake," Murong Xuewei said somewhat awkwardly.

Gu Ye tried to get up, but found that half of his body was numb and he couldn't get up for a while.

Murong Xuewei quickly went to help him up, "General, am I too heavy? Did I make your hand numb?"

Gu Ye quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, that's not true, you're very gentle."

"General, let me rub your arm!" Murong Xuewei reached out to rub Gu Ye's arm.

Gu Ye dodged back, but seeing the hurt look in Murong Xuewei's eyes, he still reached out.

Murong Xuewei walked to Gu Ye's side and began to massage his arms.

"General, is there anything I need from you today?"

Gu Ye then remembered the purpose of his visit to Murong Xuewei.

"Oh! That's right. Zhao Huaizhen has already arrived in Tongniu County. He said he was very grateful for the things you prepared. If it weren't for the food and medicine you prepared, he would have been in a complete mess the moment he arrived."

Murong Xuewei gently pressed down, "So how is the disaster situation in Tongniu County now?"

"The basic disaster situation has been brought under control. With the help of the Murong family, the victims have been settled. The casualties are not too great. It's just a pity about those houses and crops." Gu Ye sighed with some regret.

"As long as everyone is alright, that's all that matters. Houses can be rebuilt, crops can be replanted, but if someone is gone, they're really gone," Murong Xuewei said casually.

Gu Ye agreed, saying, "You're right. If a person is gone, then you really have nothing left."

Murong Xuewei recalled the disaster in Tongniu County in her previous life. Because the rescue was not timely enough, many people lost their lives in this flood. Even though the flood was eventually brought under control, it was still impossible to bring those lives back.

Fortunately, in this life, Murong Xuewei sent Gu Ye in time, and the people were still alive.

As Murong Xuewei was thinking, Gu Ye suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, those disaster victims..."

Because the two were standing very close, Gu Ye turned his head and met Murong Xuewei's gaze.

Murong Xuewei suddenly felt a warm breath on her face, and when she looked up, she met Gu Ye's deep black eyes.

Looking into those bright, star-like eyes, Gu Ye felt something stirring within him.

As the two drew closer, Gu Ye suddenly felt an urge to kiss her red lips, which were so close to his own.

Murong Xuewei wanted to dodge as Gu Ye slowly approached, but she felt as if she were glued to the spot, unable to move at all.

Just as Gu Ye was about to kiss her, the door suddenly opened and Liu Li walked in.

Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye heard the noise and quickly hid.

"Madam, you're up." Liuli sensed something was off about the atmosphere inside. "General, you're still here! I thought you had left."

Gu Ye coughed awkwardly, "Well, I'm about to leave."

"Then I will not see the general off."

Gu Ye stood up and walked out, but ended up in the inner room and then came out again.

Looking at the flustered Gu Ye, Liu Li said, "Madam, why do I feel like the general is just as clumsy as I am today!"

"Perhaps the general is too busy today and is overwhelmed with work!"

Liuli scratched her head, somewhat puzzled. "Huh? People can get overwhelmed by work? Then Madam, you should probably assign me less work in the future. I'm afraid I'll get overwhelmed too."

Murong Xuewei rolled her eyes at Liuli, annoyed. "With your brain, even if you were given eight hundred more tasks, you wouldn't get confused."

Upon hearing this, Liuli was not annoyed, but instead laughed happily, "Madam, are you saying that I am smarter than the general?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head helplessly, "Yes, yes, you are indeed very smart."

Liuli chuckled, "This servant also thinks she's exceptionally clever."
