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

When everyone heard this, although they had their own thoughts, due to Xiao Cheng's identity and promise, they nodded in agreement and left the study one after another, leaving Yu Caiwei, Xiao Cheng and Bao Cui alone.

Seeing everyone leaving, Baocui leaned over Yu Caiwei and asked softly, "Miss, do you really believe that the prince will handle this matter fairly?"

Yu Caiwei smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is that he must express his position now. As for the truth, I have my own way to find out."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cheng's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile, as if he admired Yu Caiwei's response: "I didn't expect Miss Yu to be so thoughtful and decisive. However, if this matter is really as the letter says, and involves the royal family, it may be difficult to handle."

As Xiao Cheng spoke, he carefully observed Yu Caiwei's reaction.

He wanted to see whether Yu Caiwei had lived a new life as he thought.

Yu Caiwei turned around and looked directly at Xiao Cheng: "Your Excellency, I am too kind. I just hope that the Yu family can be safe and sound. As for the rest, I know what to do."

After saying that, she gently patted Bao Cui's hand, signaling her to step down first, while she continued to deal with Xiao Cheng.

"My Lord, since you have promised to intervene in the investigation, I will not say anything more. However, I have a humble request."

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"I hope that no matter what the result is, I will be informed first. After all, the reputation of the Yu family is related to my future status. The engagement between the prince and me is still in place. If something happens to my Yu family before you and I cancel the engagement, it will probably not be good for the prince's reputation. What's more, I still have two younger sisters who are not married yet. Prince, please take care of their future husbands."

Yu Caiwei deliberately emphasized the word "sister" to remind Xiao Cheng that he had to help her even for the sake of Yu Caijiao.

Xiao Cheng didn't have any special reaction.

Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Of course, the reputation of the Yu family is also the face of my Xiao family. I promise you."

Yu Caiwei bowed slightly as a token of thanks, and then signaled Xiao Cheng that he could leave. After Xiao Cheng left, she breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes in deep thought.

After a while, Baocui came in with a bowl of calming tea.

"Baotui, tell me, who is behind this?"

Bao Cui thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Miss, could it be Miss Yu Caijiao? The timing of her appearance is too coincidental."

Yu Caiwei had long known that Yu Caijiao was involved in this matter, but she just couldn't tell Bao Cui about it.

After all, rebirth is too bizarre.

After thinking for a while, Yu Caiwei's eyes lit up and she immediately ordered: "Baocui, go check the details of the gatekeepers and night watchmen at the salt manor, as well as where they went and who they came into contact with after leaving the mansion. Remember, be careful."

Baocui took the order and left. The study room returned to peace again. Yu Caiwei sat there alone, constantly thinking about the next move in her mind.

The next day, the atmosphere in Yu's house became even more tense. With the help of Baocui, Yu Caiwei began to make secret plans. On the surface, everything seemed normal, but in fact, there were undercurrents.

A few days later, Baocui brought back the news that the gatekeepers and night watchmen of the salt manor left the Yu family and went directly to a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. That house was said to be owned by a distant relative of the Guangling Palace.

After hearing this, Yu Caiwei had an idea in mind and decided to go there in person.

As night fell, Yu Caiwei put on her nightgown and quietly left the Yu family with Baocui. They avoided the guards and sneaked into the dilapidated house. They saw that the lights in the house were dim and it seemed that someone was having a secret conversation.

Yu Caiwei signaled Baocui to stay outside the yard to provide support, while she tiptoed towards the window and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

"…This plan is perfect. As long as the Yu family is involved, the Shen family's salt fields will be finished. At that time, the power of Prince Guangling will be further expanded."

"Humph, that Yu Caiwei, she thinks she's smart, but she's still played around by us."

"However, Xiao Cheng seems to have a different opinion of Yu Caiwei, so we have to be careful."

When Yu Caiwei heard this, she had already made up her mind. She left quickly, returned to the Yu family, and immediately summoned a few trusted servants.

The next day, the Yu family suddenly announced that Yu Zisheng needed to rest due to illness and would not be involved in any external affairs for the time being. This news quickly spread quietly in the city and caused quite a stir among Yu Zisheng's classmates who usually played together.

But Yu Caiwei came forward to decline all visits.

Yu Caiwei also asked several trusted servants to disguise themselves and go to the neighboring city to spread rumors that Prince Guangling was plotting a rebellion.

Then let the news take a detour and be transmitted back to the capital.

At the same time, Yu Caiwei secretly contacted several confidants of the Shen and Yu families, as well as several influential officials in the court, revealed the information she knew to them, and asked them to secretly assist in investigating the movements of the Guangling Palace.

A few days later, the situation in the court suddenly changed. Evidence of Guangling Prince's suspected treason was suddenly presented by a minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

For a moment, the entire capital was shaken.

Inside the Yu residence, Yu Caiwei and Baocui were in the study, listening to the discussions outside and smiling at each other.

"Miss, your trick of luring the snake out of its hole is really brilliant. Not only did it save the Yu family, but it also solved the hidden danger of Prince Guangling."

Yu Caiwei shook her head gently: "The real cleverness is to make everyone think that it was their own choice that led to this result. Baocui, what we have to do next is to completely eliminate the hidden dangers within the Yu family and ensure that such a thing will not happen again."

"Yes, Miss. Then...as for that prince, do we still need to continue acting?"

Yu Caiwei raised her lips with a meaningful smile: "As for acting, of course we have to continue. After all, Xiao Cheng, this chess piece, still has his uses."

While the two were talking, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and a servant hurried in with a nervous look: "Miss, it's bad, the prince came to visit suddenly, saying that he has something important to discuss."

A strange light flashed in Yu Caiwei's eyes, and then she regained her composure: "Got it, bring him to the study."

The door was pushed open again and Xiao Cheng walked in. His eyes were complicated, seeming to be mixed with admiration and suspicion.

"Miss Yu, you are really impressive."

Yu Caiwei smiled and responded calmly: "Your Highness, I am flattering you. I am just doing what I should do. However, I am very curious, what do you mean by 'important matters'?"

Xiao Cheng took a few steps closer and lowered his voice: "I have a new discovery about the King of Guangling, and this discovery is closely related to you and me, and even the situation in the entire capital."

Yu Caiwei raised her eyebrows, motioning for him to continue. Outside the door, Bao Cui pricked up her ears nervously, wondering in her heart how this scene would end.
