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

Du Yuanbai looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Madam, what are your orders?"

“I would like to ask you to help the people here and do your best to improve their lives,” Murong Xuewei said, taking out some silver from her bosom. “Take this money and distribute it to them so that they can buy food and necessities.”

Du Yuanbai accepted the silver with some disbelief. "Madam, this is a large sum of money! Do you trust me that much?"

“I have always firmly believed in the principle of trusting those you employ and not employing those you don’t trust.” Murong Xuewei patted Du Yuanbai on the shoulder. “Just distribute them to those who need them.”

Du Yuanbai held the silver coins in his hand, his eyes shining with gratitude. "Madam, you are so kind. I will definitely distribute them properly."

Murong Xuewei smiled slightly, "Then I'll leave it to you. Come find me when you've found out."

“Yes, Madam,” Du Yuanbai replied respectfully.

Just then, Liuli walked in from outside. "Madam, I have distributed the silver to the villagers. They are all very grateful for your kindness."

Murong Xuewei nodded. "Very good. We should go back now and wait for news from Du Yuanbai."

The two bid farewell to Du Yuanbai and returned to the carriage.

"Madam, you are so generous," Liuli exclaimed sincerely.

Murong Xuewei smiled slightly, "This is just what I should do. We must do our best to help these impoverished people."

“Yes, I really don’t know how Xiao Wan Ning could do such a thing.” Liu Li frowned.

"She must be plotting something," Murong Xuewei said in a deep voice. "We must find out the truth as soon as possible."

"When will we come to see Du Yuanbai again?" Liuli asked.

"Come back when he has news," Murong Xuewei said, gazing into the distance. "I believe he can definitely help us."

The two exchanged a smile, and the carriage slowly drove away from the impoverished village.

A few days later, Du Yuanbai arrived at the Murong residence as promised.

“Madam, I have already obtained some information,” Du Yuanbai said respectfully.

Murong Xuewei nodded slightly, "Then tell me."

"So, the mastermind behind this land and forest expropriation was indeed Xiao Wanning," Du Yuanbai said in a deep voice. "She planned to build a summer resort here, so she didn't hesitate to forcibly take away the land that the people depended on for their livelihood."

"I knew it was her doing." Murong Xuewei frowned. "That woman is really too much."

“Furthermore, as far as I know, Xiao Wanning also plans to build a secret prison in these mountains,” Du Yuanbai continued. “She intends to imprison some uncooperative people there to force them to submit.”

"What?!" Liuli exclaimed in surprise, "Such a thing actually happened?"

“Yes.” Du Yuanbai nodded. “I found out about this in the village.”

Murong Xuewei remained silent for a moment, her gaze hardening. "I must investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Madam, what do you plan to do?" Liuli asked worriedly.

"We must stop Xiao Wanning's conspiracy," Murong Xuewei said, her gaze falling on Du Yuanbai. "Du Yuanbai, are you willing to continue helping us?"

Du Yuanbai immediately knelt down, "Madam, I am willing to serve you. I will do my utmost to help the people of Jiyuan Village escape their suffering."

Murong Xuewei reached out to help Du Yuanbai up. "Very good, I will arrange your tasks properly."

After saying that, she turned to Liuli and said, "Liuli, go and prepare. We're leaving for that mountain forest tomorrow."

“Yes, Madam,” Liuli replied respectfully.

Early the next morning, Murong Xuewei and Liuli set off for the mountain forest that Xiao Wanning had forcibly requisitioned.

Throughout the journey, Murong Xuewei remained silent, her heart filled with anger towards Xiao Wanning.

“Madam, are you really not worried at all?” Liuli asked anxiously.

“Of course I’m worried,” Murong Xuewei sighed. “However, we must stop Xiao Wanning’s conspiracy and seek justice for these poor people.”

“Yes, that woman is really too much,” Liuli said angrily, “She doesn’t even care about the livelihoods of ordinary people.”

"We must find out the truth and make her pay the price she deserves." Murong Xuewei's gaze was firm.

Before long, the two finally arrived at the expropriated forest.

There were already many workers busy at work, constructing a magnificent building.

Murong Xuewei frowned. "It seems Xiao Wanning is indeed very quick."

"Then what should we do?" Liuli asked anxiously.

"Let's find a place to hide first and see how things go," Murong Xuewei said, quietly leading Liuli into the nearby bushes.

The two quietly observed everything before them.

A moment later, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked over from a distance; it was none other than Xiao Wan Ning.

She frowned slightly and looked down coldly at the workers.

"Why are you all so slow? If you don't hurry up, I'm going to get angry," Xiao Wanning said sternly.

A foreman quickly stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, we are already working diligently. However, the terrain in this mountainous area is treacherous, which inevitably causes some delays in the project's progress."

"Hmph, just an excuse." Xiao Wan Ning sneered. "I don't care what your reasons are. You must complete this summer resort within three months. Otherwise, you'll be punished."

Upon hearing this, the foreman immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Princess, please forgive us. We will definitely speed up the process."

Xiao Wan Ning sneered, "Then get to work." With that, she turned and left.

Murong Xuewei and Liuli exchanged a glance, both feeling a surge of intense anger.

"Madam, this woman has gone too far," Liuli said through gritted teeth.

“Yes, she even targets these poor people.” Murong Xuewei’s eyes flashed with anger. “We must stop her plot.”

The two discussed their options and decided to first secretly investigate the specific situation of the summer resort, and then find a way to help the people who were forced into labor.

Just as the two were about to leave, they noticed something unusual happening not far away.

A group of soldiers were leading a group of people toward them, including several people dressed in prison uniforms.

"Madam, what's going on?" Liuli asked softly.

"It seems Du Yuanbai's information is true." Murong Xuewei narrowed her eyes. "Xiao Wanning really is going to build a secret prison here."

The two followed cautiously, wanting to find out what had happened.

The soldiers escorted the prisoners to a dilapidated building and roughly shoved them inside.

"You all stay put and behave yourselves. If you dare to disobey even a little, I'll make you regret it!" a soldier said menacingly.

The prisoners were pale-faced, their eyes filled with despair.
