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

Liu Li helped Murong Xuewei up and said in surprise, "***Is this using Cui'er to warn us? That's a living person's life!"

Murong Xuewei gave a bitter smile, "In her eyes, apart from the members of the royal family, everyone else is nothing more than an ant."

Murong Xuewei looked in the direction where Cui'er was carried away, her eyes empty. "Liuli, give Cui'er a quick death, and then bury her with her father."

Liuli nodded, her voice becoming heavy, "Yes, Madam, I will arrange everything."

Murong Xuewei released Liuli's hand, stood up, and walked towards the room.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "I never thought I couldn't escape it in this life. Someone else will die because of me."

As she walked, Murong Xuewei suddenly felt dizzy and fell straight backward.

Liuli rushed over quickly to support Murong Xuewei, "Madam."

It was already evening when Murong Xuewei woke up.

Murong Xuewei sat up in bed, her body burning with fever. A chill ran down her spine. Cui'er's death was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

Murong Xuewei gripped the bedsheet tightly, her knuckles turning white, biting her lower lip hard, but she couldn't stop trembling.

After a long while, the door was pushed open, and Gu Ye walked in with a worried expression.

Gu Ye quickly went to his wife's side, reached out to feel her forehead, and frowned: "Xuewei, what's wrong? Do you have a fever?"

Murong Xuewei raised her moist eyes and looked into her husband's concerned gaze, tears welling up in her eyes involuntarily.

Murong Xuewei, her lips trembling, recounted everything that had happened during the day to Gu Ye in fits and starts.

Gu Ye's face darkened, his brows furrowed, clearly enraged by his wife's ordeal.

Gu Ye gripped Murong Xuewei's hand tightly, his tone firm: "Xuewei, don't worry, I'll go confront Xiao Wanning right now. How could she bully you like that? It's simply too much!"

"No, General, you can't go!" Murong Xuewei hurriedly grabbed Gu Ye's sleeve, her eyes filled with panic. "Xiao Wanning is ruthless; she will definitely harm you. I don't want you to suffer too."

Seeing the fear on his wife's face, Gu Ye felt a pang of pain in his heart. He finally sighed, "Fine, since you don't want to, I won't go. But Xue Wei, you can't just let her bully you like this. We have to think of something."

Murong Xuewei shook her head. "I don't know what to do either. Xiao Wanning is too ruthless. I'm really scared. What if she poisons the people around me again?" At this point, she couldn't help but cover her face and burst into tears.

Gu Ye quickly pulled his wife into his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her, "It's alright, Xuewei, don't cry. I will protect you, and I won't let anyone hurt you."

Murong Xuewei nestled in her husband's arms, feeling his warm and strong embrace, and gradually calmed down.

Murong Xuewei looked up at Gu Ye's handsome face, her eyes filled with affection and gratitude. "General, I'm so scared. I don't know what to do."

Gu Ye gently wiped away her tears and said softly, "Xuewei, don't be afraid. I'm here, and I will definitely protect you. Let's work together to find a way to deal with Xiao Wanning. I believe we can find a solution."

The two embraced for a long time, and Murong Xuewei gradually felt more at ease.

I don't know why, but as long as Gu Ye is around, I always have the courage to face even the most ruthless Xiao Wan Ning.

Just then, a young maid rushed in, shouting, "Madam, something's happened! The kitchen caught fire, and the cook was burned!"

Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye were shocked upon hearing this and hurriedly followed the maid into the kitchen.

The cook was lying on the ground, smoke billowing from his body, his face filled with terror.

Gu Ye rushed forward to check, while Murong Xuewei anxiously asked the maid what had happened.

"Madam, the cook was preparing dinner when suddenly the oil in the pot caught fire. He tried to put it out in a panic but ended up burning a large area of ​​his skin. I rushed over to inform you and the General," the maid said incoherently.

Murong Xuewei felt a chill run down her spine, and immediately thought of what had happened with Cui'er before.

Murong Xuewei subconsciously glanced at her husband, Gu Ye, who also looked grave, clearly having considered the same possibility. They exchanged a look, a sense of foreboding washing over them.

"Quickly, go and fetch the doctor!" Gu Ye ordered sternly. The maidservant responded and ran out to find the doctor.

Murong Xuewei walked to her husband's side and asked softly, "General, could it be...?"

Gu Ye nodded heavily. "Xuewei, Xiao Wanning just sent Cui'er over during the day; I'm afraid this business isn't as simple as it seems."

Murong Xuewei's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She gripped her husband's sleeve tightly and whispered, "General, I'm so scared. I don't know what else she might do to us. What should we do?"

Gu Ye held his wife's hand tightly, his tone firm: "Xuewei, don't be afraid. I'm here. I will definitely protect you. We must be careful and not do anything rash that might anger that woman."

The two stood embracing, their hearts filled with worry and fear about the future.

Murong Xuewei felt as if she were trapped in an inescapable nightmare, with helplessness and despair slowly consuming her mind.

Just then, Zhang Jing rushed over and immediately began to check on the injured cook.

Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye waited anxiously, fearing that something else might go wrong.

After a long silence, Zhang Jing finally raised his head, his expression grave, and said, "This cook is seriously injured and needs proper treatment. However, I don't think this was an accident, but rather something deliberately done."

Upon hearing Zhang Jing's words, Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with even greater fear and unease.

They all understood that there was probably something fishy going on behind the scenes, and that Xiao Wanning must be behind it all.

"Doctor, do you mean that someone did this on purpose?" Gu Ye asked, frowning.

Zhang Jing nodded. "Yes, General. Judging from the injuries, this is definitely not an ordinary accidental fire. I suspect someone tampered with the kitchen to cause such severe injuries."

Murong Xuewei gripped Gu Ye's hand nervously, her eyes filled with fear. "General, this is what I was worried about... Could it be Xiao Wanning's doing?"

Gu Ye was silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "It seems that's how it is. Xue Wei, we need to be careful and not act rashly. Let's not tell anyone for now, and focus on protecting ourselves."

Murong Xuewei nodded, tears welling in her eyes. "I'm so scared, General. What should we do?"

Gu Ye held his wife's hand tightly, his voice firm: "Xuewei, I'm here. I will always protect you. Let's work together to find a way to deal with that woman. We must find a way to get rid of her scheme."
