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

The next morning, an inconspicuous servant quietly left the gate of Yu Mansion carrying a heavy bag.

In the study, Yu Caiwei was immersed in tedious accounts, carefully checking the amount of salt sold by the salt shop every day and the accumulated silver every month.

Until night fell quietly, she was still immersed in those piles of account books.

Baocui walked in quietly.

"Miss, you have been watching until the third watch, it is time to rest."

Yu Caiwei wanted to refuse.

But when she looked up at Baocui, she found that her eyes were also dark circles due to staying up late, and her heart tightened.

Baocui always sticks close to her. If she doesn't rest, Baocui will not be able to sleep well even if she is sent to bed.

Recalling her previous life, when Baocui was unfortunately killed while trying to pass on a message to her, Yu Caiwei's eyes became slightly hot. She said "Okay" and decided to go to bed early.

Yu Caiwei lay down on the brocade quilt and seemed to fall into a dream in a daze.

In her dream, she returned to the heartbreaking miscarriage experience in her previous life. She was surrounded by coldness, and the blood stains beneath her body were shocking, but no one came to help her. She desperately called for help in her dream, but she seemed to be abandoned by the world, and her desperate cries eventually turned into nothingness.

Yu Caiwei sat up suddenly, her heart pounding like a drum, sweat soaking her hair. She calmed down and realized that it was just a dream, but the fear and loneliness were so real, as if they had traveled through time and space and tightly wrapped around her again. She took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and called softly: "Bao Cui, is that you?"

The figure outside the door moved slightly.

After a while, Bao Cui's voice came, with a bit of worry: "Miss, it's me. I heard some movement in your room, and I was worried that you might be feeling unwell."

Yu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "It's okay, it's just a nightmare. Come in and talk to me."

Bao Cui pushed the door open and walked in, holding a small lamp in her hand. The dim light cast a warm glow in the room. She walked quietly to the bed and sat down, looking at her young lady with concern: "Young lady, are you having a nightmare again? Do you want me to make you a cup of soothing tea?"

Yu Caiwei shook her head and pulled the corner of the quilt to cover her exposed shoulders. Her eyes were firm and she said, "Don't bother with that. Go back to sleep. Get enough rest. Tomorrow, I think we should speed up our actions."

"Miss, what do you mean?" Although Baocui was confused, her trust in Yu Caiwei made her willing to follow unconditionally.

"The secret letters today made me realize that the enemy might be right under our noses. I plan to use the servant who is out to set up a trap and see if I can lure out the traitor." Yu Caiwei's tone revealed an unquestionable determination.

After Baocui heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and then she became a little worried: "But, Miss, isn't it too risky to do this? What if we alert the enemy..."

"Of course there are risks, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. We must take the initiative, otherwise we will just be beaten passively." Yu Caiwei's mouth curled up into a faint smile, which was the anticipation for the upcoming challenge, "Besides, I already have a plan."

The next day, the Yu family was still busy.

Yu Caiwei was in the study, flipping through a stack of carefully selected account books, seemingly casually, but actually she had something in mind. She called Baocui over and whispered a few words to her. After Baocui heard it, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded and quietly left.

"Go and invite all the uncles and aunts over, and tell them that I have something important to say."

Soon, Baocui invited several uncles and aunts to her home.

My uncle spoke first, with a bad look on his face.

"Caiwei, why didn't you watch the workers clean up the salt pans these past two days? Instead, why did you gather everyone together at this critical moment?"

"Knowing that you are about to marry into a wealthy and powerful family, there is no need to show off in front of the Shen family."

"You're so arrogant even before you get married that you call the elders. After you get married, what will you do to me?"

My aunt was not very happy and kept muttering to herself.

Baocui, who was standing by, heard these words and felt sorry for Yu Caiwei. She was about to step forward to argue with her, but was gently stopped by Yu Caiwei.

Yu Caiwei was holding the account book she had carefully sorted out in her hand, and was about to let everyone review the financial situation in recent years when a notice suddenly came from outside the door saying that Yu Caijiao and the Young Master Xiao Cheng were visiting together.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why Yu Caijiao, a concubine's daughter, would appear in the Shen family with the noble prince.

Shouldn’t the prince be Yu Caiwei’s fiancé?

When Yu Caiwei heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her brows, but she quickly regained her composure.

She signaled Baocui to hold back for the moment, and she slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

Outside the door, Yu Caijiao, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood side by side with an imposing man, who was her rumored fiancé - Xiao Cheng, the Crown Prince.

The appearance of these two people undoubtedly made the already tense atmosphere in the hall even more subtle.

"I've met the prince."

Yu Caiwei bowed to Xiao Cheng before everyone else, then turned and looked at Yu Caijiao.

"Cai Jiao, why are you here?"

Yu Caiwei spoke in an intimate tone with just the right smile on her face, being neither impolite nor disrespectful while maintaining a distance.

Xiao Cheng smiled slightly, and his eyes swept over everyone, finally landing on Yu Caiwei:

"I heard that something happened at the Shen family's salt fields. As the future son-in-law of the Yu family, I should naturally be concerned."

Yu Caijiao walked in front of the crowd with light lotus steps, with a look of barely perceptible pride:

"Sister, I do have something important to tell you, and it is closely related to the Yantian incident."

When my aunt heard this, she frowned and was about to speak, but Yu Caiwei gently raised her hand to interrupt her:

"In that case, Caijiao, why don't you just speak frankly. It just so happens that several uncles and aunts are here, so if there is anything, we can discuss it together."

Yu Caiwei said this, motioning for everyone to sit down again. She then pulled Yu Caijiao and Xiao Cheng to sit aside. Bao Cui stood quietly behind her, vigilantly observing everyone's reactions.

Yu Caijiao took out a letter from her sleeve, unfolded it gently, and glanced at the letter. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I got this letter by accident. It mentioned some clues about the salt field pollution, and... some secrets about our Yu family."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all cast curious glances. Uncle Shen Long couldn't help but speak first: "Cai Jiao, don't keep us in suspense, what is the clue?"

"On the way here I heard that Grandfather intends to let you manage the affairs of the salt farm. Why don't you take a look first?"

Yu Caijiao handed the letter to Yu Caiwei with a hint of provocation and expectation in her eyes.

Yu Caiwei took the letter, read it carefully, and her brows gradually furrowed.
