The daughter of the first wife is reborn and marries a rich family again

"Isn't that the eldest lady? Where is she going?" a young maid asked quietly.

"I heard that the officials came from outside. Judging from the young lady's appearance, she seems to be confident." A servant next to her replied, his tone full of awe.

When Yu Caiwei arrived at the gate, she saw a group of officers in official uniforms trying to force their way in. The guards around them looked a little overwhelmed. The leading officer was a burly man with a serious face, arguing with the gate guard.

"Get out of the way! We have been ordered to search the Yu family. No one is allowed to stop us!" the officer shouted loudly, and passers-by around cast curious glances at him.

Yu Caiwei stepped forward steadily, her cold voice piercing the night: "Dear officials, I am Yu Caiwei, the eldest daughter of the Yu family. If you have anything to say, please let me know. The Yu family will certainly cooperate."

The officer looked her up and down, and his attitude softened slightly, but he still maintained his dignity: "Oh, it turns out to be the eldest daughter of the Yu family. To be honest, we received a tip-off that the Yu family is harboring a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and we must enter the mansion to search."

The crowd began to discuss quietly, with some expressing surprise, suspicion, but more sympathy for the Yu family's plight. An old man sighed and said to the people around him: "The Yu family has done a lot of good things for the people over the years, how come they have to face this kind of thing?"

Yu Caiwei remained calm and smiled, "Don't worry, sir. The Yu family has always been law-abiding. How could we harbor a wanted criminal? However, in order to prove the innocence of the Yu family, I am willing to personally accompany the search, but there is a condition - I can only lead it, and the elderly, weak, women and children in the family must not be disturbed."

The official hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. Led by Yu Caiwei, the group entered the mansion cautiously. Wherever they passed, the servants avoided them, their eyes full of anxiety and worry.

The search continued for a while, but nothing suspicious was found anywhere. The officers looked at each other, and the leading officer frowned and said to Yu Caiwei: "This... there seems to be nothing unusual about the Yu family. Could it be that the information we received was wrong?"

Yu Caiwei had an imperceptible smile on her lips: "Perhaps someone deliberately framed the Yu family in an attempt to destroy their reputation. Sir, can you let me know the basis for this search? The Yu family will definitely cooperate fully to find out the truth."

The officers hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to go back and report, promising to investigate further. As they left, a young officer turned around and whispered to Yu Caiwei, "Miss Yu is wise, and the truth will be judged by the public."

Yu Caiwei watched the official team go away, took a deep breath, and turned back. At this time, the Yu family mansion seemed to have returned to calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging, and a bigger storm was brewing.

After returning to the room, she instructed Bao Cui who was waiting beside her: "Notify everyone to strengthen the security of the mansion, especially Caiyue and Ayu's residence. No mistakes can be made. In addition, I want to see the leader of the family's secret guards."

Baocui took the order and left. Yu Caiwei stood alone in front of the window, looking at the moonlight and thinking. She knew that after this night, the situation of the Yu family and even the entire capital would be rewritten because of this sudden storm.

Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, there were slight footsteps outside the door, followed by a steady male voice: "Miss, you are looking for me."

Yu Caiwei turned around, her eyes sharp: "Black Shadow, I believe that what happened tonight is related to the person I guessed. I need you to find out the truth, and... be prepared to face the next challenge."

The leader of the secret guards known as Black Shadow knelt on one knee and said firmly, "As you command, Miss. No matter how deep the enemy hides, we will reveal their true colors and protect the peace of the Yu family."

Under the moonlight, the two looked at each other, without saying anything, a silent tacit understanding flowed in the air. As the shadow retreated, Yu Caiwei once again faced the window and said softly: "No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, the Yu family will fight side by side. The mastermind behind the scenes, I, Yu Caiwei, am waiting for you."

As the night deepened, the lights in the Yu family mansion swayed in the wind, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

Yu Caiwei, on the other hand, stood at the center of the storm with her own strength, bravely taking the next step for her family and for justice. The next morning, the streets and alleys of the capital were already full of discussions. The news that the Yu family was being raided by the government spread like wildfire, and the streets, alleys, teahouses and wine shops were full of people.

"The eldest lady of the Yu family is really calm in the face of danger. Her demeanor is worthy of being the apple of the Yu family's eye!" Inside the teahouse, a middle-aged scholar waved a folding fan, his eyes full of admiration.

"That's right. Didn't those officials leave in disgrace in the end? I think the eldest daughter of the Yu family is not only smart, but also very resourceful." The woman next to her echoed, rubbing the hemp rope in her hands, and did not forget to look up from time to time to join in the discussion.

On the other side, outside the Yu family mansion, several small vendors gathered in a circle. One of them, an old man carrying a load of goods, said with emotion: "Who doesn't know about the good things the Yu family has done for us ordinary people over the years? I think those officials are probably being used by others."

"Brother, you are right. Miss Yu's words sound reasonable and well-founded. How can she sound like a guilty thief?" The vendor selling candied haws nearby nodded rapidly.

While everyone was discussing, a young man hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, seemingly a foreigner rushing into the city. He stopped and asked curiously, "Brothers and sisters, what is this Miss Yu you are talking about?"

Everyone's eyes fell on him. An old man sitting on the stone steps spoke slowly, "Young man, you have been in the capital for a short time, right? The Yu family is a wealthy family here. Last night, the government said that the Yu family hid a wanted criminal. As a result, the eldest daughter of the Yu family personally led people to search everywhere, but found nothing. This matter is quite exciting."

The young man suddenly realized and scratched his head: "So that's how it is. Miss Yu's actions are really admirable. I wonder what will happen next?"

"Hey, you've stumped me with this question. But in my opinion, the Yu family will not let it go, and the mastermind behind the scenes will probably have a headache." After the old man finished speaking, there was another round of laughter of agreement all around.

At this time, inside the Yu family mansion, Yu Caiwei and several elders of the clan were having a secret conversation in the study.

"Miss, what happened last night must have been done by those people who are dissatisfied with the Yu family." An old man with a white beard said in a deep voice, "We must make plans early to avoid being harmed again."

Another elder added: "Yes, the Yu family is innocent, but the waters in the capital are deep. We must take the initiative to find the real culprit who framed the Yu family."

Yu Caiwei tapped the table lightly, her eyes narrowed slightly: "I have a plan. The shadow has already taken action secretly, and what we need to do is to make the water more muddy and let the person hiding in the dark reveal his tracks. Three days later, I will hold a banquet in my house and invite all the major forces in the capital. First, it will show that the Yu family is not afraid of turmoil, and second, it will give the mastermind behind the scenes a 'chance'."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the study room suddenly became tense. An elder asked doubtfully, "Miss, is this too risky? What if..."
