People here knew that she was coming this time.

So many people had been waiting for them at the gate of the mansion. When they saw her coming, a plump woman walked down the steps and said enthusiastically, "Caiwei, you are finally here. You must be exhausted from the journey."

Yu Caiwei looked over and searched carefully in her mind. She should call the person in front of her aunt, Liu Qingyun.

Her maternal grandfather had three sons, who were her three uncles.

She looked over there and vaguely remembered what they looked like.

The eldest uncle, Shen Long, has always been very honest and upright. The second uncle, Shen Fei, is not a very good person, but he is very proficient in business. As for the third uncle Shenyang, he doesn't talk much and he doesn't have a wife. She doesn't have much contact with him and doesn't know what kind of person he is.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the woman said, "I guess Caiwei is hungry. Butler Zhou, why don't you give orders quickly? The old man's granddaughter is coming home today, so you have to prepare some good food to entertain her!"

Butler Zhou hurried downstairs to tell the servants to do things.

Yu Caiwei bowed slightly and said, "Aunt, I wonder where my grandfather is. Is he in the mansion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fei walked down the stairs and said, "Your grandfather went out for something, and he specifically asked us to wait for you here. Just tell us if you have anything to say."

Looking at the person in front of her, Yu Caiwei didn't want to say anything, she just said: "Second uncle, I know, but I miss my grandfather very much, so I want to talk to him. As for the rest, it won't be too late to talk about it slowly later."

"Yes, Caiwei has just arrived, go in and rest first." Uncle Shen Long said and gave a wink to the woman beside her.

Liu Qingyun immediately understood and enthusiastically took her hand and walked into the mansion, greeting her: "Caiwei, I still remember that it was a long time ago when I first saw you. I didn't expect that after so much time, you have become more beautiful. People can't help but feel happy when seeing you. I like you very much!"

They walked inside, followed by the maid behind them.

"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt." Yu Caiwei responded and looked at the decoration inside the Shen residence.

The mansion is no worse than those luxury houses in the capital. Whether viewed from the outside or inside, every detail demonstrates the status of Qinghe's number one salt merchant.

Yu Caiwei followed Liu Qingyun through the long corridor, and then came to a beautifully trimmed garden.

Liu Qingyun pointed to a courtyard not far away and said, "That's Rongjing Hall. Your grandfather and your uncle usually discuss business matters there."

Yu Caiwei looked over and was instantly attracted. The Shen family was a merchant family, but her grandfather loved books, so the courtyard was decorated very elegantly, full of the scent of books.

She responded and said, "Aunt, please allow me to say a few words. How is your business recently? Are there any problems?"

When she mentioned this, the man behind her coughed twice.

Liu Qingyun naturally didn't dare to say anything else, but quickly changed the subject and said, "Caiwei, your grandfather specifically told me that you have liked your mother's yard since you were a child. I will take you there now, and we will have dinner together later."

She used the handkerchief to hide the expression on her face, but Yu Caiwei felt that her smile looked a little fake. However, she did not say anything and let her continue walking forward.

Naturally, the uncles did not continue to follow.

Passing by the corridors and the eaves with flowers and plants, we soon arrived at a very unique courtyard. There were many orchids planted in front of the courtyard, and no other decorations.

However, compared to those ostentatious carved beams and painted buildings, this place is elegant and quiet, and it is more comfortable.

The maid beside Liu Qingyun stepped forward and pushed open the door, then stood aside and waited quietly.

"Caiwei, this is the yard where your mother used to live. You can live here during your stay in Qinghe." Liu Qingyun did not move forward and looked at her with a smile.

Yu Caiwei looked up at her mother. Her mother was born in a good family, but she was unlucky and met a cold-blooded man like Yu Changlin.

She walked in. The room was very clean, without a trace of dust.

Her mother was the only daughter her grandfather had, so naturally he loved her very much. Therefore, no one in the mansion dared to neglect her mother's things.

Just at this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers. She walked over and opened the window, and saw a cluster of pear trees beside the bed. The blooming flowers were densely packed together and crowded on the branches.

Liu Qingyun's voice came, "Caiwei, the kitchen said that dinner is ready. You must be hungry after traveling all the way. Let's go over and eat first."

Yu Caiwei came back to her senses and said, "Aunt, you go first, I'll pack up and come back."

"Okay, then you'd better hurry up. The old man might be coming back soon." Liu Qingyun took a look inside and then left with her maid.

Yu Caiwei looked around and changed her clothes before walking out with Baocui.

She wanted to wash herself before going out, because after running all the way and it was quite hot here, she felt a little sticky.

She has always hated this feeling the most.

But there was no other way at the moment. She should go over and say hello first. Besides, her grandfather should be back soon.

After walking the same path, we soon arrived at the dining hall.

Baocui was about to step in, but was stopped by her.

Just when she was confused, Yu Caiwei made a "hush" gesture, then walked to the door and listened to the noise inside.

"If you ask me, how can a woman like her get involved in business?"

A voice was heard, and Yu Caiwei thought about it carefully. It seemed to be the voice of her second uncle Shen Fei.

But why are they discussing this?

Soon, another voice came, "I think what my second brother said is very right. Even if we put aside the fact that she is a woman, just talking about her identity, she is still an outsider. She suddenly came back and said that she wants to take care of our salt business. Who can be sure that she has other intentions?"

Yu Caiwei lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. These uncles were really well-informed. She had just arrived in Qinghe and their news had spread.

only....

"Caiwei, you're here? Why are you just standing at the door? Come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you."

Liu Qingyun's business suddenly appeared, interrupting her thoughts.

Looking at the smiling woman in front of her, Yu Caiwei collected her thoughts and said calmly, "We just arrived not long ago."
