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

The dishes on the table were rich and fragrant, but it seemed unable to cover up the subtle tension in the air. Yu Caiwei sat at the main seat, facing the table full of delicacies, but had no intention of tasting them. Her eyes wandered between her uncles and aunt, secretly calculating in her heart.

Liu Qingyun smiled widely, picked up a piece of carefully cooked fish and placed it in Yu Caiwei's bowl, and asked with concern: "Caiwei, has your marriage with Master Xiao been settled? We are all looking forward to attending your wedding." There was curiosity in her eyes, but there seemed to be something else hidden.

Yu Caiwei smiled gently and answered politely but reservedly, "All matters concerning marriage are decided by the elders in the family, and I will just obey them." Her tone was flat, but she cleverly avoided giving a direct answer, neither being impolite nor revealing too much information.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and spoke bluntly: "Caiwei, when you came back this time, you suddenly became so concerned about the salt business of your family. Is there any change in the capital, or are you dissatisfied with our way of doing business?" There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in his tone.

Yu Caiwei raised her head, looked at Shen Fei firmly, and said slowly: "Second uncle, you are too polite. I am just about to get married, and I want to learn more about the management of the family business so that I can better assist my husband in the future. It is also for me to have independent knowledge and ability. After all, for a woman, no matter where she is, it is always right to be self-reliant and self-reliant." Her words were gentle but powerful, and every word revealed a determination that should not be underestimated.

Uncle Shen Long coughed lightly and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Caiwei is right. It is always good for girls to learn more. Which of the children in our Shen family is not smart and capable?" There was a hint of protection in his words, trying to balance the atmosphere at the table.

However, Shen Fei did not seem satisfied with this explanation, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips: "Yes, you are smart and capable. I hope Caiwei you can do as you said, not be confused by external things, and keep your original intention." There was an implicit warning in his words, and he was obviously wary of Yu Caiwei's return.

Although Yu Caiwei was unhappy in her heart, she still kept a gentle smile on her face: "Don't worry, second uncle, Caiwei knows how to behave." After that, she turned to Liu Qingyun and smiled: "Aunt, the dishes you cook are really delicious. You can't taste the taste of home like this in Beijing."

Liu Qingyun smiled when she heard this, and quickly asked everyone to eat more, as if she was trying to lead the topic to a more relaxed direction. The atmosphere at the table gradually became harmonious as the topic changed, but everyone had different thoughts in their minds.

After the meal, everyone dispersed. Yu Caiwei and Baocui strolled in the courtyard of the Shen residence. The moonlight was bright, illuminating her slightly heavy back.

"Miss, are you really going to interfere in the affairs of the salt village?" Baocui asked cautiously.

Yu Caiwei stopped and looked at the brightest star in the night sky. She said firmly, "Baocui, I will not only intervene, but also do it better than anyone else. This time, I will not let anyone easily take away everything that belongs to us."

"Yes, Miss." Baocui nodded, her eyes flashing with trust and admiration for her own lady.

As they were talking, a night breeze blew by, bringing with it the faint fragrance of pear blossoms in the distance, as if foreshadowing the upcoming changes and challenges. Yu Caiwei took a deep breath, turned around and smiled at Bao Cui: "Let's go, starting tomorrow, we will start by understanding every detail of Yanzhuang."

Yu Caiwei returned to her room with mixed feelings. She sat at her desk, picked up her pen and dipped it in ink, her mind full of thoughts, which eventually turned into a sincere letter. In the letter, she not only expressed her longing for her grandfather, but also tactfully mentioned her concerns about the current situation of Yanzhuang and the subtle changes in the attitudes of her uncles, and asked her grandfather to return secretly to discuss countermeasures.

"Baocui, go prepare some food and hot water. Baocui will be tired when he comes back, so let him warm up." Yu Caiwei ordered, and at the same time carefully sealed the letter and handed it to Baocui.

Baocui took the order and left, while Yu Caiwei stood in front of the window, gazing at the swaying pear tree in the night, feeling both anxious and expectant. She knew that this move might put her at the center of controversy, but for the sake of her family and the legacy left by her mother, she was willing to take all the risks.

In the dead of night, Baocui quietly left the Shen residence and went to the escort agency according to Yu Caiwei's instructions. Yu Caiwei watched his back disappear into the night, silently praying that everything would go well.

Time passed by, and the occasional barking of dogs in the distance in the night wind made the quiet night even more uneasy. Yu Caiwei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She was worried about Baocui's safety, and at the same time she felt nervous and excited about the upcoming changes.

Until the fourth watch, a slight knock on the door broke the silence of the night. Yu Caiwei almost jumped up from the bed immediately and walked quickly to the door. A stone fell from her heart - Baocui returned safely.

When the door opened, Bao Cui looked tired but pleased with the mission accomplished. She whispered, "Miss, the letter has been delivered safely. The escort promised to set off immediately. The master will receive the letter before noon tomorrow at the earliest."

Yu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief and patted Baocui's shoulder gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest. There are still many things to do tomorrow."

Bao Cui bowed and left, while Yu Caiwei stood alone in front of the window, looking at the gradually whitening sky, and silently said in her heart: "Grandfather, I hope you can understand my difficulties. The future of our Shen family needs your wisdom and strength."

The first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, illuminating the pear tree and Yu Caiwei's heart. She knew that a new day and a new battle were about to begin. And she was ready.

"Caiwei, girl, what are you mumbling about so early in the morning?" A familiar and kind voice sounded outside the door, interrupting Yu Caiwei's thoughts.

Yu Caiwei turned around suddenly and saw her grandfather Shen Rongjing standing at the door. He had a gentle smile on his face and his eyes were full of love for his granddaughter. She quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Grandfather, why are you back so early? Are you feeling well?"

Shen Rongjing waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite, then walked straight into the house, sat down at the desk, looked deeply at the pear tree outside the window, and slowly said, "Caiwei, I have always felt guilty about your mother. Over the years, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, and you have been wronged."

Yu Caiwei's heart warmed up, and she hurriedly took a few steps forward and comforted him softly: "Grandfather, please don't say that. Caiwei knows that you always have us in your heart. This time I came back just to help the family and to spend more time with you."
