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

"All of them?" Gu Ye murmured.

Murong Xuewei nodded vigorously, and Gu Ye's lips curled into a doting smile.

"Then I'll start from when I can remember!"

Murong Xuewei immediately sat up straight and made room for half of the bed, "Come up and talk."

Gu Ye glanced at the half of the bed that had been given up, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but seeing Murong Xuewei's eager gaze, he still took off his shoes and sat down.

Gu Ye sat opposite Murong Xuewei.

“From the time I can remember, I’ve always been with Uncle Lin. We depended on each other for survival. Uncle Lin was my only family. Back then, we lived in a dilapidated temple. Every day, Uncle Lin would go out to work to earn money, and when he came back, he would bring me something delicious. Sometimes it was two big meat buns, and sometimes it was a bowl of noodles. I remember the happiest day was when Uncle Lin brought back two pieces of pastry and a bowl of chicken noodles. Uncle Lin told me that it was my birthday.”

Murong Xuewei's eyes were filled with pity. "So you had such a hard life before! But who exactly is Uncle Lin to you? Why is he so good to you? And what about your parents?"

Gu Ye lowered his head, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. "My parents died when I was very young. Uncle Lin told me that my family used to be a wealthy family, but later a thief came out of the family and conspired with outsiders to kill my parents and seize our family property."

Murong Xuewei angrily slammed her fist on the bed, her hand aching from the blow. "How can there be such a person? We kept you at home, fed and clothed you, and you actually conspired with outsiders to kill the master's family. And what happened after that? Did you get revenge?"

Gu Ye looked at his wife, who was quite angry, and rubbed Murong Xuewei's head to comfort her, saying, "I got my revenge. I took my revenge as soon as I had the ability."

“That’s more like it. For such an ungrateful scoundrel, he should be torn apart by five horses and thrown into the river to feed the fish. No, even the fish would probably reject him,” Murong Xuewei said indignantly.

Murong Xuewei realized again that she was doing this as if she were reopening Gu Ye's wounds.

Then, looking at Gu Ye, she asked, "Aside from that, did you have any other happy memories from your childhood?"

Gu Ye smiled and nodded at Murong Xuewei, "Of course I have. I remember when I was about ten years old, I was traveling around with Uncle Lin. Once in Haicheng, I met a little girl. She had secretly followed her brother out to play. When we got to a pastry shop, she suddenly started asking for some pastries. Her brother bought them for her, but she didn't want them anymore. In the end, I got the pastries. They were the best pastries I've ever eaten."

"How can there be such a naughty little girl! She asked for snacks but didn't eat them," Murong Xuewei murmured.

Gu Ye seemed quite pleased, saying, "If it weren't for that little girl, I wouldn't have been able to eat such delicious snacks."

Hearing Gu Ye say that, Murong Xuewei suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

"For you to remember this for so long, that girl must be quite outstanding, aside from being willful, right?"

Gu Ye nodded, "That's right! That little girl is not only very cute, but she also speaks in a sweet voice."

Murong Xuewei suddenly felt a little jealous of that girl. They were both in Haicheng, so why couldn't it have been her who met Gu Ye back then?

Murong Xuewei didn't want to hear Gu Ye talk about that little girl anymore.

Murong Xuewei simply lay down on the bed. "I'm sleepy. I want to rest."

Gu Ye seemed to have noticed Murong Xuewei's mood and hid to the side, secretly laughing.

"Then go to sleep!"

Before Gu Ye could finish speaking, he looked at Murong Xuewei again, only to find that she had already fallen asleep.

Gu Ye lovingly tucked Murong Xuewei in with the blanket.

"Silly girl, that girl is you! You're even jealous of yourself, what a silly girl."

After covering himself with the blanket, Gu Ye, fearing that Murong Xuewei would have nightmares again that night, simply leaned against the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, as soon as Murong Xuewei opened her eyes, she saw Gu Ye asleep by the bedside.

Seeing that Gu Ye was sleeping so soundly, Murong Xuewei couldn't bear to wake him.

She quietly lifted the covers to get out of bed, but before she knew it, Gu Ye woke up with just the slightest movement.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ye asked Murong Xuewei as soon as he opened his eyes.

Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye with some embarrassment, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just wanted to get up."

Then, looking at Gu Ye's reddened hands, Murong Xuewei felt a pang of heartache and asked, "Did you sleep by the bedside all night?"

Gu Ye noticed Murong Xuewei's gaze and said nonchalantly, "These are minor matters. When we were marching and fighting in the past, we would just stand and lean against our weapons to rest. Being able to take a nap against the bed is already a good thing."

Murong Xuewei angrily pointed at Gu Ye and scolded, "Gu Ye, are you stupid? This bed is so big, why do you sleep next to the edge?"

Gu Ye was startled by Murong Xuewei's sudden outburst of temper and instinctively apologized, "I'm sorry, Xuewei, I didn't mean it. Next time I won't sleep on the bed, I'll sleep at the table."

Gu Ye thought that it was because he was leaning against Murong Xuewei by the bedside that he made Murong Xuewei unhappy.

"Gu Ye, are you really stupid? This bed is so big, how wide can it fit me by myself? Are you going to kill yourself if you come up here to sleep?"

"I'm sorry, Xuewei, I'm so sorry, I promise I'll do better next time..." Gu Ye was stunned.

Gu Ye thought Murong Xuewei was angry that he had moved to the bed opposite hers, but he didn't expect that Murong Xuewei was angry that he was sleeping next to her.

"Xuewei, do you mean I can share a bed with you?"

Murong Xuewei grabbed Gu Ye by the collar and pulled him in front of her. "Of course you can."

"But you...didn't you say you wanted a divorce?"

This question stumped Murong Xuewei, who was stunned for a moment.

"So what? I, Murong Xuewei, have never relied on these so-called innocences to make a living. I, Murong Xuewei, am the number one businesswoman in Haicheng. I rely on my own brains."

Gu Ye excitedly grabbed Murong Xuewei, wanting to say something, when Liuli suddenly rushed in.

"Madam is not well."

Upon entering, she was met with this awkward scene. Liuli, who had just stepped in, hesitated, unsure whether to step back or come in.

Murong Xuewei hurriedly let go of her hand and got out of bed. "What's all the fuss about so early in the morning?"

Liuli then remembered the real reason she had come.

"Madam, when I went out shopping this morning, I noticed that many new shops have opened across from our store."

Murong Xuewei scoffed, "What's the big deal? Many new shops open every day in the capital. Is it really worth making such a fuss about?"

Liuli quickly shook her head, "No, Madam, it's the entire capital, all of them. Our Murong family's shops have opened similar stores opposite or next to them."
