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

Upon hearing Murong Yuxuan's words, Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye with suspicion, "General, do you know your cousin?"

Gu Ye coughed slightly awkwardly, "We both live in the capital, we've met before, so we know each other."

Murong Xuewei raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. Her gaze shifted between Gu Ye and Murong Yuxuan, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation. Gu Ye stood opposite her, dressed in a simple black robe, appearing composed and elegant. A gentle smile graced his face, lightly brushing away Murong Xuewei's curiosity.

"Xuewei, you don't need to be too surprised. Although the capital is large, people come and go, so naturally they become familiar with each other." Gu Ye's voice was calm, like a night breeze, making people feel comfortable.

A mocking smile played on Murong Yuxuan's lips. His gaze was clear and sharp, as if he could see right through Gu Ye's thoughts. "Brother Gu, why beat around the bush? We've known each other for so many years, why hide anything?"

Gu Ye was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Alright, since you brought it up, I won't hide it anymore. Xue Wei, actually, Yu Xuan and I have known each other for a long time. That time I went to the Murong family, it was indeed on his behalf to deliver a letter."

A hint of surprise flashed in Murong Xuewei's eyes. She hadn't expected that Gu Ye and Murong Yuxuan had such a relationship. "Delivering a letter? You mean delivering a letter? To whom is it being delivered? And for what purpose?"

Gu Ye's lips curled slightly, as if he had anticipated Murong Xuewei's question. "At that time, the Murong family was facing a crisis, and Yu Xuan needed me to deliver an important letter for him."

Murong Xuewei's curiosity grew even stronger, and she was almost about to blurt it out, but before she could speak, Murong Yuxuan spoke up. "Xuewei, those are all things of the past. Now, your cooperation with Gu Ye is the most important thing."

Murong Xuewei opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to ask more questions, but seeing Murong Yuxuan's expression, she knew now was not the time to delve deeper. She instead gave an understanding smile, deciding to temporarily set aside her doubts.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a crisp knock on the door. "General Gu, Madam, I have finished examining the patient and written the prescription," a confident male voice came from outside the door.

Murong Xueyao frowned; he was clearly somewhat dissatisfied with the doctor's attitude. "Please come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and a young doctor dressed in a white robe walked in.

Although he was a young man, his hair was somewhat gray, but his eyes revealed a shrewdness and confidence.

He handed the prescription to Gu Ye, then turned to Murong Yuxuan and said, "Young Master Murong, your mother's condition is no longer serious. She just needs to take her medicine on time, and she will recover soon."

Murong Xueyao was somewhat displeased with the doctor's arrogant attitude, but she still politely asked, "Doctor, may I ask your name? Are you sure my mother's illness will be cured tomorrow?"

The doctor smiled slightly, seemingly quite proud of his medical skills. "My name is Zhang Jing, just an ordinary doctor. Your mother only has a fever; she will get better after taking the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xueyao couldn't help but snort coldly. "Dr. Zhang, your medical skills may be good, but your arrogance is a bit too much."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing remained unperturbed, instead giving Murong Xuewei a defiant look. "Miss, how can one improve medical skills through humility? My confidence stems from my assurance of my medical abilities."

Seeing that the two seemed about to argue, Murong Xuewei quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Xueyao, Doctor Zhang, we have more important things to deal with, so let's not argue over such trivial matters."

Murong Xueyao withdrew her gaze, glanced at Murong Xuewei, and then turned to Zhang Jing, saying coldly, "Now that the doctor has finished examining you and written the prescription, please leave as soon as possible, Doctor Zhang."

Zhang Jing nodded slightly and turned to leave, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Murong Xuewei, saying, "Miss Murong, although your mother's condition is no longer serious, she still needs careful care. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

Murong Xuewei smiled slightly and expressed her gratitude. Zhang Jing turned and left the room.

As Zhang Zhongjing left, the atmosphere in the room gradually eased. Murong Xuewei turned to Gu Ye, her eyes full of anticipation. "Gu Ye, you just said that we are cooperating at Yu Xuan's request. Could you elaborate?"

Gu Ye smiled slightly, about to speak, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. The two exchanged a glance, both sensing something was amiss.

"Gu Ye, Xue Wei, something terrible has happened!" Murong Yuxuan's anxious voice came from outside the door.

The two quickly walked to the door and opened it. Murong Yuxuan hurriedly entered the room, his expression somewhat grave. "Those guards are here again. They've been checking on us every day for the past two days, just to prevent us from going to see a doctor."

Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei's expressions both changed; they knew this news was far from simple. A ruthless glint flashed in Murong Xuewei's eyes. "Does Xiao Wanning really want to force my aunt to her death? My aunt is so ill, and not only does she not allow anyone to find a doctor, but she also has to have someone watch over her. It's infuriating!"

As she spoke, Murong Xuewei prepared to go out and beat up all the guards.

Gu Ye and Murong Yuxuan grabbed Murong Xuewei from the left and right respectively.

"Xuewei, don't be angry. If you go out now, won't that expose your sneaking into the Murong residence at night?" Gu Ye advised.

Murong Yuxuan also advised, "Yes! Xuewei, calm down."

It took the two of them working together to barely calm Murong Xuewei down, as the guards were getting closer and closer.

"Xue Wei has offended you."

Without thinking twice, Gu Ye picked up Murong Xuewei and jumped out of the window.

Before Murong Xuewei could react, the person was already outside the mansion.

The doctor also followed them outside the mansion.

Murong Xuewei grew angrier the more she thought about it; Xiao Wanning was simply too lawless.

They actually dared to threaten her with her aunt's life. Murong Xuewei wasn't going to put up with someone who would take it lying down. She was determined to get revenge no matter what.

But how can he vent his anger in a way that teaches Xiao Wan Ning a lesson?

As Murong Xuewei was thinking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Ye beside her out of the corner of her eye.

Murong Xuewei smiled knowingly.

As Gu Ye walked ahead, he felt as if someone was watching him from behind. That gaze made Gu Ye feel strange, as if he were being plotted against. But when he turned around, there was only Murong Xuewei behind him.

Gu Ye reached out his hand and asked Zhang Jing to take his pulse. "Zhang Jing, can you tell if I'm sick too? Why do I feel a chill down my back tonight?"

After taking Gu Ye's pulse, Zhang Jing turned to look at Murong Xuewei and said, "General, you're just too tired. Go back and rest."

Gu Ye was a little confused. "Is that so?"

Murong Xuewei, who was walking behind, caught up as well. "What's wrong, General?"

Gu Ye then told Murong Xuewei about his doubts again, "I don't know why, but ever since I left the Murong residence, I've always felt a chill down my spine. I asked Zhang Jing to take my pulse, and he said I was just too tired."

A hint of guilt flashed across Murong Xuewei's face. "Doctor Zhang's medical skills are so high, he certainly wouldn't make a mistake. Perhaps you're just too tired lately, General. Let's go! Let's go back and rest early! I also feel a bit tired after all the commotion tonight."
