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

"It's none of your business how this princess behaves! This vile woman is defying her superior! Gu Ye, seize her immediately!" Xiao Si Ning pointed at Murong Xue Wei and ordered Gu Ye.

Gu Ye ignored Xiao Si Ning and turned to Murong Xue Wei, asking with concern, "Xue Wei, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Murong Xuewei shook her head, but felt a warmth in her heart from Gu Ye's protection.

"General Gu, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to protect your wife?" Seeing that Gu Ye was ignoring her, Xiao Sining shouted angrily.

"Second Princess, this is the training ground, a place for soldiers to train, not a place for you to throw a tantrum." Gu Ye turned around, looking sharply at Xiao Si Ning, and said in an icy tone.

“You…” Xiao Sining was so intimidated by Gu Ye’s aura that she was speechless for a moment.

"If the Second Princess has nothing else, please return and do not disturb the soldiers' training," Gu Ye said coldly, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.

Xiao Si Ning was so angry that she trembled all over, but she dared not say anything more. She could only glare fiercely at Murong Xue Wei, and then leave with the palace maids.

"Thank you for your help, General." Murong Xuewei bowed slightly to Gu Ye and said gratefully.

"Xuewei, there's no need for such formalities between husband and wife," Gu Ye said with a faint smile and a gentle tone.

Murong Xuewei covered her mouth and chuckled, "You've offended Xiao Sining like this for my sake, aren't you afraid of being retaliated against?"

"If I were really afraid of retaliation after all these years of fighting on the battlefield, I would have become a general by now," Gu Ye chuckled and said to Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei nodded, agreeing with Gu Ye's point. Watching Xiao Sining's departing figure, she felt she had achieved her purpose for coming to the military camp today.

"Oh, right, Liuli, didn't I ask you to buy some pastries? Keep some for the general, and distribute the rest among the soldiers!" Murong Xuewei turned to Liuli and instructed her.

Liuli responded with a "yes," turned around and left the military camp, ordering someone to bring in the pastries—yes, they were brought in by oxcart.

When the soldiers saw the pile of pastries, which looked like a small mountain, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

After repeatedly asking Liuli, "Is this a pastry, young lady?"

Liuli nodded, "Yes! These are pastries. My lady instructed us to give them to the soldiers as a reward for their hard work in training."

One of the soldiers, dressed as a minor leader, grabbed the soldier next to him and said, "Fifth Brother, slap me and see if this is a dream!"

The person called Xiao Wu actually slapped him hard and asked, "Does it hurt? You're not dreaming, are you?"

The leader covered his swollen face and shook his head. "This is real, not a dream."

Liuli found their reactions strange; they were just some pastries, weren't they?

Why are they all so stunned, like they've found a treasure?

Even Gu Ye couldn't help but laugh and shake his head when he saw the mountain of pastries.

"Did you ask Liuli to buy these pastries?"

Murong Xuewei nodded, "Yes, I thought I couldn't come to see you empty-handed, so I brought some pastries for the soldiers. Why did they all react like that!"

Gu Ye found it both funny and amusing. "These soldiers are all from poor families. They have to take their military pay back home to support their families. They rarely even see these pastries, let alone eat them."

Murong Xuewei was a little incredulous, "Are their military salaries all this low?"

When it came to military pay, Gu Ye shook his head. "In the past few years, the emperor has been either building palaces or collecting treasures. The national treasury has long been empty. If it weren't for your help, these soldiers would not have survived."

Murong Xuewei glanced at the soldiers outside with some pity. They were all spirited young men, but pitifully, because their pay was too low, they were all starving and emaciated.

Murong Xuewei turned to look at Gu Ye, "After we get back, I'll have Liuli take 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury for you."

Although Murong Xuewei did not explain clearly what the 100,000 taels of silver were for, in the current situation, anyone with a brain would know what Murong Xuewei was talking about.

Gu Ye looked at Murong Xuewei gratefully, "Xuewei, thank you."

Gu Ye tried to reach out and hug Murong Xuewei, but Murong Xuewei dodged away.

"Don't thank me, General. Just don't forget our agreement."

After leaving the training ground, Xiao Sining became increasingly angry.

Xiao Sining felt incredibly frustrated at that moment.

She was a princess of the royal family, and she had never been treated like this before. Today, in the martial arts arena, Murong Xuewei actually dared to humiliate her like this.

Xiao Sining grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her hatred for Murong Xuewei rose rapidly.

Xiao Sining secretly vowed that she would definitely get revenge! She would make sure Murong Xuewei found out that Xiao Sining was not someone to be trifled with. Murong Xuewei, you dare to embarrass me? I'll make you regret it!

Upon returning to the princess's residence, Xiao Sining immediately went to find Xiao Wanning.

As soon as Xiao Sining saw Xiao Wanning, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and she cried so pitifully. As she cried, she embellished her account of what had happened at the martial arts training ground.

"Sister, you have no idea how arrogant that Murong Xuewei is!" Xiao Sining sobbed. "She embarrassed me in front of so many people. I am a princess, how dare she treat me like this!"

Seeing her younger sister crying her eyes out, Xiao Wanning felt a pang of heartache. She gently patted Xiao Sining's back and comforted her, "Sining, don't cry. I know you've been wronged. That Murong Xuewei is just too much!"

Upon hearing her sister's words, Xiao Sining immediately perked up and continued, "Sister, you didn't see how smug she looked, as if she were the most powerful person in the world. I'm going to make her pay the price!"

Xiao Wanning frowned; she knew her younger sister was truly furious this time. After a moment's thought, she said, "Sining, don't worry, I will definitely help you get revenge. That Murong Xuewei, she thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she's a little clever. She's so naive."

Upon hearing that her sister was going to stand up for her, Xiao Sining immediately stopped crying and smiled. She took Xiao Wanning's hand and said, "Sister, you must help me teach her a lesson and let her know that we members of the royal family are not easy to bully!"

Xiao Wanning nodded, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She said coldly, "Sining, don't worry, I have my own way. That Murong Xuewei won't be able to cause trouble for long."

Seeing her sister's confident demeanor, Xiao Sining felt much more at ease.

Xiao Sining knew that as long as her sister was around, Murong Xuewei would eventually suffer the consequences.
