Yu Caiwei got off the carriage and saw the two big signs of the pawnshop at a glance.

It seems like we've arrived a little early, there's no one here yet.

"Princess, I'm waiting outside." Ye Bai took a look and stood outside the door with a sword in his hand.

If she went in like this, it might cause unrest inside, so she could naturally protect Yu Caiwei's safety from outside.

Yu Caiwei took Baocui in and waited for a while before the shopkeeper came.

"What does this lady want to be?" Yu Caiwei has been wearing her hair in a wedding bun since she got married. One can tell at a glance that she is no longer a girl who stays in the boudoir.

"Boss, I'm not here to pawn anything." Yu Caiwei spoke slowly, and then took out a token from her sleeve.

This thing was given to me by my grandfather when I was in Yuzhou. I can still use it when necessary.

The shopkeeper's face changed immediately when he saw the token, and he quickly invited Yu Caiwei in.

This token belongs to the Shen family. People who are familiar with the Shen family's business will naturally recognize it. She chose the pawnshop because it has more silver in circulation and it is more convenient for her.

"Madam, if you need anything from our pawnshop, please let us know." The shopkeeper eagerly poured her tea. This was the token of the person in power in the Shen family, and they dared not disobey.

The Shen family is in the business world and has a long history. If they don't obey, killing them will be as easy as killing an ant.

"I need silver."

Yu Caiwei spoke up immediately. This was a pawnshop, and everyone knew it. There couldn't be no silver here.

The dowry her mother left her consisted of jewelry and jade, and if she wanted to convert it into cash, she had to go to a pawnshop.

The conversion of those land deeds would only be slower, and she was in urgent need of a large sum of money right now.

The shopkeeper frowned immediately, sat there in thought for a moment before standing up and opening the cabinet in front of him.

"Madam, this is the cash the pawnshop has today. You may take it all." The shopkeeper opened the box, and inside it were neatly placed rows and rows of silver.

The amount of cash in the pawnshop is limited every day, and this is the most that can be taken out at the moment.

Yu Caiwei counted the amount of silver and said, "The pawnshop will be closed for three days, I will send someone to take the cash."

As soon as these words were spoken, the shopkeeper's face turned a little unhappy. The cash in the pawn shop for three days could be used to open a new shop next door. What on earth did this lady want to do that required so much money?

Judging from her clothes, this lady should be from a wealthy family, so why does she need so much money so urgently?

"Don't worry. If Shen Wei, the son of the Shen family, asks about it, just give it to him. If the Shen family wants to hold you accountable, you can come to Dingyuan Marquis's mansion to find me."

Yu Caiwei spoke up immediately. The Shen family would definitely ask about it, but with her guarantee, the shopkeeper should not refuse to give it.

Dingyuan Marquis Mansion? The shopkeeper's face was not very good. How come the wife of this Marquis Mansion couldn't come up with the money?

"May I ask who the lady is?"

"My surname is Yu, but I married the Crown Prince Xiao Cheng, so I can barely be considered a Crown Prince's Consort."

Yu Caiwei spoke slowly. She didn't want to use her status to pressure others, but in order to gain the trust of the shopkeeper, she had to say so.

With the Shen family and Dingyuan Marquis Mansion providing cover, we will definitely get the silver.

"It turns out to be the Crown Prince's Consort." The shopkeeper immediately stood up and saluted, and finally agreed.

As soon as Yu Caiwei left the pawnshop, the pawnshop closed its outer door.

"Yebai, come here to get your things tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Yu Caiwei patted the box beside her, which was telling her that the item she came to pick up was in this box.

"Crown Princess, what is the name?" Ye Bai nodded slightly and then spoke. She had to report the Crown Princess's schedule to the Crown Prince every day, so naturally she had to know what the Crown Princess planned to do.

Baocui frowned. The eldest lady didn't say anything, why did she talk so much?

"silver."

Yu Caiwei spoke openly, saying that this was not something shameful.

When I returned home, I heard the servants talking about Xiao Cheng staying at Yu Caijiao's house last night. Yu Caiwei walked past them with a calm expression.

"If you keep gossiping, I'll get rid of you all." Baocui put her hands on her hips. The Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion probably wouldn't want to keep a servant like this.

When she returned to the house, she began to think that there would be a use for taking out so much silver today.

"Miss, why do you go outside to get the silver? Can this mansion be short of this little money?" Bao Cui asked in confusion. If she told others, outsiders might think that this mansion couldn't even come up with such a small amount of silver.

Besides, the dowry that the eldest daughter brought when she got married was far more than these boxes of silver. The eldest daughter is not a person who is short of money.

"If I touch the treasury of the Hou Mansion, I will naturally be held responsible. These are all the money of the Shen family. This is a drop in the bucket for the Shen family."

The Shen family had plenty of money and didn't mind this little bit at all. This little bit of money was just paving the way for what she was going to do.

"Miss, what are you going to do with this money?" Bao Cui was a little confused. The expenses of the Hou Mansion were all recorded by the housekeeper. Besides, Master Xiao was a generous man and would prepare money for the young lady every month. As long as she didn't buy any rare treasures, the money would be enough.

"It has its own uses."

Yu Caiwei curled the corners of her mouth. Next, she would wait for Shen Wei. Everything would depend on him.

Shen Wei sent someone there on the day the pawnshop closed, and after getting Yu Caiwei's note, he hurried to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Shen Wei from the Shen family, come here as promised."

The people behind Shen Wei came in carrying boxes. These were the gifts he prepared for the visit.

Yu Caiwei went out to greet her immediately. Since Xiao Cheng was not there, she could borrow his study room for use. He didn't know anything about it anyway.

The two people in the study looked at each other, and Shen Wei spoke first: "Did you really do this in the pawn shop?"

The pawnshop suffered a considerable loss during the three days of not doing business, but the Shen family naturally would not take this small amount of money to heart.

Naturally, he would not pursue what the Shen family had done.

"That's right, I'm borrowing some money to spend." Yu Caiwei curled the corners of her mouth. It was a large amount, but it was nothing to him.

"Borrow money? Did Xiao Cheng make things difficult for you?" Shen Jia originally wanted to say that Xiao Cheng was petty, but he still said it in a tactful way.

After all, this is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Xiao Cheng's people are everywhere. It would be bad if they heard it.

"You're not making things difficult for me. I just want to do something big, and I need your help." It just so happened that Shen Wei was still in Bian Jing, so he could use the power in his hands.

Yu Caiwei came slowly, and her novel idea scared Shen Wei, but she had a good brain and was suitable for the business route.

However, since ancient times, merchants have been looked down upon by these officials who pursue careers in politics.

"I can help you, but I want a share of the money if you make any profit." Shen Wei raised the corner of his mouth. He was willing to help her, but there were conditions.

"If you want to compensate, you must return what you took from the Shen family." Shen Wei added. Just with this one sentence, Yu Caiwei felt that he would be the future head of the Shen family.

His mind can be described as that of a cunning businessman.

"I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%. If you have to pay compensation, I'll naturally return the money to you." Yu Caiwei spoke immediately, so that he could rest assured.
