"We'll see." Yu Caiwei muttered to herself, and faced the moonlight, embarking on a more difficult, but also more exciting journey. "By the way, Miss, when the mysterious guest left, he left an intriguing sentence." The shadow suddenly remembered something and whispered in Yu Caiwei's ear.

"What did he say?" Yu Caiwei's brows revealed a hint of curiosity.

"He said, 'The real game has just begun, Miss Yu, I hope you are ready to face the next challenge.'" the shadow repeated, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Hearing this, Yu Caiwei's lips curled up into a faint smile, which contained both disdain and determination: "Tell him that I, Yu Caiwei, am never afraid of challenges. As for him, he'd better pray that his plan is impeccable."

The moonlight was like water, reflecting her resolute profile. At this moment, Yu Caiwei looked more heroic than ever, as if no wind or rain could shake her determination.

The next morning, the Yu family mansion once again became the focus of the capital. The shocking discovery at the banquet yesterday spread quickly like wildfire, and people were talking about it on the streets. People praised the eldest daughter of the Yu family for her wisdom and courage, but they were also curious about the mastermind who dared to challenge the Yu family.

"Miss Yu's move was truly ruthless. The person behind the scene will probably have nowhere to hide." In the teahouse, a well-dressed middle-aged scholar commented while holding a bowl of tea, shaking his head.

"That's right, Miss Yu is not only beautiful, but also so capable. She is simply a heroine!" A young vendor nearby echoed, his eyes full of admiration.

Meanwhile, inside the Yu family mansion, Yu Caiwei was gathering the clan elders and confidants to make the contents of the secret letter public and discuss the next course of action.

"This man's status and influence are beyond our expectations. But as long as we advance step by step and don't give him any chance to breathe, victory will eventually belong to us." Her eyes were bright and her tone was firm, infecting everyone present.

Several elders exchanged glances, and finally nodded in agreement, deciding to support Yu Caiwei's plan. They understood that this was not only a battle for the Yu family, but also a battle to maintain justice and order in the capital.

Just as the Yu family was busy preparing for a counterattack, a series of anonymous letters suddenly circulated in the capital. The letters were full of innuendos, trying to confuse the public and point the finger at other forces outside the Yu family.

"Look at what's written in this letter. It says that someone saw with their own eyes the son of another family sneaking in and out of the Yu family on the night of the crime. Do you think this is believable?" In the market, a woman holding a child was whispering to the vendor next to her.

"People's hearts are hidden. Who can tell the truth about what's happening in the capital?" The vendor shook his head, looking helpless.

The appearance of these anonymous letters undoubtedly made the already complicated situation even more confusing. At the Yu family mansion, Yu Caiwei received a summary report of these anonymous letters and frowned.

"They are trying to muddy the waters and divert attention." The black shadow analyzed.

Yu Caiwei pondered for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Let them stir things up, muddy waters are easier to fish in. Pass the order down, I want those families to come to the fore one by one, we will know if they are friends or enemies after a test."

In the following days, the Yu family used various means to cleverly lead the major families in Beijing to be suspicious of each other, while privately collecting more evidence that was unfavorable to the mastermind. It seemed as if a dark cloud was hanging over the sky of Beijing, and a rainstorm seemed to be coming at any time.

Finally, on a thunderous night, the Yu family mansion was brightly lit, and Yu Caiwei convened an emergency meeting attended only by core members.

"Everyone, after these days of hard work, we have obtained enough evidence to uncover the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. However, this person is extremely powerful, and we must be extremely careful." Her words were calm and resolute.

"Don't worry, Miss. We in the Yu family are united as one. There is nothing to be afraid of!" An old man said passionately, and the surrounding clansmen also responded with full confidence.

As the meeting drew to a close, Yu Caiwei stood up, looked around, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Tomorrow at noon, I will make all this public in the square in front of the imperial city and let the truth come to light. No matter what the outcome, the reputation and dignity of the Yu family must be protected by ourselves."

Everyone present stood up, with a determined light in their eyes, as if announcing to the world that the Yu family will never back down.

And that night, the rain in the capital seemed to foreshadow a storm that was about to wash away the old dust and usher in a new life.

The next day, the streets of the capital were busier than usual. People gathered in groups of three or five, talking and speculating about what big event would happen in the square in front of the imperial city at noon. The rain had already washed away the dust, and the air was filled with a sense of tension and anticipation.

"Have you heard? The eldest daughter of the Yu family is going to expose the mastermind in front of the imperial city. She is really amazing. Women are as good as men!" Inside the teahouse, a young man excitedly said to his companions, and the people around him pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any details.

"Oh, this is true. The move by the eldest lady of the Yu family is likely to turn the world upside down." An old man nearby twirled his beard, his eyes showing both worry and expectation.

The noon bell echoed over the capital, and the sun pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the square in front of the imperial city. The crowds of people gathered from all directions, and everyone's face was full of curiosity and expectation. The flag of the Yu family fluttered in the wind. Yu Caiwei, dressed in plain clothes, stood on a makeshift platform, with a huge scroll covered with a mysterious black cloth behind her.

"Dear fellow citizens of the capital, I, Yu Caiwei, am standing here today, not only for the reputation of the Yu family, but also for the peace and justice of this city." Her voice was clear and firm, penetrating the crowd, and every word was powerful.

The black cloth was slowly unveiled, and the scroll listed detailed evidence and clues, pointing directly to the true identity of the mysterious mastermind. The noise in the crowd stopped instantly, replaced by a burst of exclamations and uproar.

"Oh my God, it's him!" A young student widened his eyes and shook his head in disbelief.

"Miss Yu, this... this is truly gratifying!" A middle-aged woman wiped her eyes, her voice trembling with excitement.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the crowd: "Miss Yu, your courage is indeed admirable, but I advise you to think twice before you act. The water behind this is much deeper than you think."

The crowd automatically parted, and the guest who had mysteriously disappeared at the banquet slowly walked into the square. His appearance once again caused an uproar.
