Murong Xuewei still felt very uneasy, as if she had returned to a month before her rebirth.

That month, Murong Xuewei was imprisoned in a dungeon, separated from her family by a wall. Every day she could hear the pitiful cries of her parents and brothers, but strangely, no matter how much Murong Xuewei shouted from one side, the other side could not hear her.

No matter how much Murong Xuewei begged for mercy, it was to no avail. Xiao Wanning continued to torment Murong Xuewei and her parents and brothers every day.

Since her rebirth, Murong Xuewei has saved the people of Tongniu County with her prophetic knowledge of history, but she just can't save Cui'er.

Murong Xuewei buried her head deeply in her arms, constantly blaming herself.

"It's all because of me. If it weren't for me, Cui'er wouldn't have died."

Seeing Murong Xuewei's dejected state, Gu Ye felt very sorry for her and reached out to hug her.

"Xuewei, this is not your fault. It's all because of Xiao Wanning. She's too cruel."

Murong Xuewei suddenly stood up and hugged Gu Ye, "Gu Ye, let's get a divorce! I'm really afraid that Xiao Wanning will hurt you because of me that day."

Gu Ye was stunned, his eyes showing a mixture of anger and joy. He was angry that Murong Xuewei actually wanted to divorce him, but he was also happy that Murong Xuewei was worried about his safety.

Does this mean that Murong Xuewei has feelings for him?

Gu Ye pulled Murong Xuewei away and looked at her seriously. "Xuewei, look at me. You have to believe me. As long as I'm here, I will never let Xiao Wanning hurt me, let alone let her hurt you."

Looking at the serious expression in Gu Ye's eyes, Murong Xuewei felt as if her fear and dread had been dispelled.

"Gu Ye, I really don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me."

"Xuewei, since you don't want anyone to get hurt because of you anymore, then you need to become strong, strong enough that she won't dare to hurt the people around you anymore." Gu Ye tried to guide Murong Xuewei.

"But she's a ***, how can I possibly be stronger than her, no matter how powerful I am?" Murong Xuewei still lacked confidence.

In Murong Xuewei's mind, Xiao Wanning was born into royalty. Even though Murong Xuewei was reborn, she only wanted to save her uncle's family and stay away from the royal family. She never thought of bringing them down.

"So what if she's a human being? Yes, she is. Humans have flaws, and flaws can lead to their downfall." Gu Ye straightened Murong Xuewei's posture and looked directly into her eyes.

Looking into Gu Ye's earnest and determined eyes, Murong Xuewei's heart began to waver.

Yes! So what if Xiao Wan Ning is a bastard? She's still a human being, and humans have flaws. And flaws can make you vulnerable.

The more he thought about it, the more determined Murong Xuewei's gaze became.

Initially, Murong Xuewei simply wanted to stay away from these conflicts, but now, a profound change is taking place in her heart.

Perhaps Cui'er's death was a turning point, a chance for Murong Xuewei to rediscover herself.

Just then, Liuli returned, and from the moment she entered the room, she appeared unusually heavy-looking.

"Madam, General." Liuli bowed to Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye, and walked to Murong Xuewei's side.

“Madam, after Cui’er came to deliver the news yesterday, she seemed to have a premonition that she would die. She said that the thing she regretted the most in her life was meeting you, Madam. She only hoped that after she died, you could bury her in a beautiful place.”

After hearing Liuli's words, Murong Xuewei's mood also became heavy.

In reality, Murong Xuewei and Cui'er didn't have much contact. She only promised to help Cui'er properly bury her father because she wanted to win her over.

What she didn't expect was that the person who promised to bury her father ended up burying both of them when the time came.

Murong Xuewei lowered her head and said, "Liuli, according to Cui'er's wishes, will choose a good location for her and her father."

"Yes, ma'am."

Liuli had been by Murong Xuewei's side for many years. Although she had witnessed the cruelty of the business world, she knew that no matter how cruel the business world was, it was all about fighting for business and had never resulted in any deaths. This was the first time she had seen such cruel methods used on people.

Murong Xuewei knew that Liuli was also feeling unwell today. "Liuli, I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Go out for a walk and clear your head!"

Knowing that Murong Xuewei was ill and needed someone to take care of her, Liuli shook her head and refused, saying, "Madam, you are not feeling well and need someone to take care of you."

“You should go and rest now that Madam has given you a day off! I happen to be on vacation these few days, so I’ll take care of things here,” Gu Ye said.

Liuli glanced at Murong Xuewei, then at Gu Ye, and finally agreed.

Gu Ye is Murong Xuewei's husband, so taking care of her is definitely not a problem.

"Then, Madam, I will take a day off tomorrow."

Murong Xuewei nodded, "Yes, you should go and get some rest too! You must have been frightened today!"

After Liuli left, Gu Ye helped Murong Xuewei lie down and tucked the blanket around her.

Murong Xuewei suddenly grabbed Gu Ye's hand and whispered, "Can you not leave?"

Gu Ye paused in tucking the blanket in, then, remembering the situation today, patted Murong Xuewei's hand.

"Go to sleep peacefully! I'll stay with you."

Murong Xuewei suddenly realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate to force Gu Ye to stay. "Well, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it. You don't have to stay with me all night."

Gu Ye seemed to sense Murong Xuewei's worry. "I've finished my work these past few days. You should go to sleep. I'll leave once you're asleep."

Murong Xuewei nodded, turned over, closed her eyes, and tried to sleep.

But I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned, and finally I sat up.

"Hey, why don't you go find a book to read? I can't sleep with you staring at me like this."

Gu Ye nodded somewhat helplessly. It was his own family; he had no choice but to pamper his wife himself.

I got up to get a book from the bookshelf, but after looking at them, they all seemed to be account books.

Murong Xuewei then realized that there were no books in her room at all.

Murong Xuewei awkwardly called out to Gu Ye, "Don't bother looking for it anymore. I just remembered, the books I read a few days ago got a bit moldy, so I asked Liuli to take them to air them out. Why don't you sit down here and we can chat for a while!"

Gu Ye walked over again and went to Murong Xuewei's bedside.

"What do you want to talk about?" Gu Ye asked Murong Xuewei gently.

Murong Xuewei thought for a moment, "Let's talk about you!"

"Talk about me? What's there to talk about with me?" Gu Ye was a little puzzled as to why Murong Xuewei suddenly wanted to know more about him.

Murong Xuewei nodded, her eyes full of sincerity, "Yes! Look, we're already husband and wife, but my understanding of you is all from what others have told me. I want to talk to you about it every day."

Gu Ye really couldn't do anything with Murong Xuewei. "Then what do you want to know about me?"

"Everything," Murong Xuewei said excitedly, "I want to know everything about you, after all, you know everything about me."
