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

The turmoil in the backyard of Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion finally subsided, and Yu Caiwei sat in the front yard drinking tea, finally able to have a little peace and quiet.

"Let someone watch over the Second Madam. She must kneel in the ancestral temple and copy Buddhist scriptures."

As soon as Yu Caiwei finished speaking, she saw Xiao Cheng hurried back from outside. Noticing that he didn't look very good, her heart skipped a beat.

Is he planning to find her and call her to account?

It was reasonable for her to discipline Yu Caijiao, and it would be useless for him to cause trouble.

However, Xiao Cheng went straight to the study, and soon Yu Jiang hurried in with a group of people.

What's going on? Could something have happened?

Yu Caiwei had a bad feeling in her heart, so she stood up and wandered outside the study door.

They were discussing something inside, so it was not appropriate for her to barge in without permission.

Yu Jiang pushed the door open and saw her outside. He immediately said, "Crown Princess."

Then the people who came out greeted her one by one, and Yu Caiwei nodded slightly in response.

They didn't look very well, it seemed something really happened.

Xiao Cheng is in charge of a lot of things, but the thing that makes him so anxious must be a big deal.

"What happened?" Yu Caiwei spoke immediately. Yu Jiang looked embarrassed and didn't know whether he should speak for a moment.

"Come in."

Xiao Cheng's voice came from inside the house, and Yu Jiang immediately stepped aside to let her in.

As soon as I entered, I saw that he was frowning, "What happened?"

The fact that he was willing to let her know showed that this matter had something to do with her.

"Smuggled items were found on the Shen family's cargo ship, and the Shen family's cargo ship has been seized."

The Shen family’s cargo ship?

Yu Caiwei frowned, wondering how could such a thing happen.

These matters have always been under the supervision of the Shen family. How could such a big mistake occur and be discovered by the officers and soldiers?

"Now the emperor has asked Prince Guangping to take over this matter."

Prince Guangping?

Yu Caiwei was shocked. Prince Guangping needed the Shen family's help, so why did the emperor add fuel to the fire?

"Xiao Cheng, why did the emperor want Prince Guangping to take over this matter?" Such a matter should be handled by the Ministry of Revenue, or other officials, so why was it handed over to the prince?

"The emperor is afraid of me, and there are other princes' people in the Ministry of Revenue, so this matter fell into the hands of Prince Guangping, who has no real power in the court."

Xiao Cheng spoke slowly. This was the emperor's consideration, and also the emperor was testing Prince Guangping.

If the Shen family sided with Prince Guangping, the Shen family would suffer a devastating disaster.

There is no one in the Shen family who is involved in politics, so naturally no one can protect the Shen family members in front of the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you testing Prince Guangping?"

Yu Caiwei frowned, thinking that this matter might have been caused by Prince Guangping.

"Xiao Cheng, can I ask you for a favor?"

Only he can help her with this matter. She doesn't have many people under her command. Even if she investigates it herself, she can only use his people.

Seeing him nod, Yu Caiwei immediately spoke up, "Help me find out where those smuggled items came from. I suspect this is a play directed and acted by Prince Guangping himself. His purpose is to win over the Shen family."

The Shen family is doomed to die if they do this, but Prince Guangping is different. He is a prince and at most he will be scolded but he won't lose his life.

The Shen family did not choose to take sides, so Prince Guangping naturally had to use this method to force the Shen family.

In this way, the Shen family can secretly communicate with Prince Guangping and no one will know about it openly.

"it is good."

Xiao Cheng agreed immediately. She was smart enough to at least think of this.

Yu Caiwei hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote down her instructions to everyone in the Shen family.

"Xiao Cheng, help me find a reliable person to send to Yuzhou and make sure to hand him over to my second uncle."

"it is good."

She took everything about the Shen family to heart, and she handled things like this calmly.

It seemed like he had always underestimated her, and she handled it pretty well.

As soon as Yu Caiwei came out of the study, she called a carriage and asked someone to look for Shen Wei.

This was something that happened in the court today. I think it hasn't been reported yet, and only a few people know about it. Xiao Cheng told her about this matter so that she could think of a solution in advance.

Yu Caiwei in the restaurant was a little anxious. It had been such a long time, why hadn't Shen Wei come yet? He always arrived first in the past, so why was he so late today?

"Princess, please don't be anxious."

Baocui became worried. The eldest lady had never been so anxious before, and today was the first time.

Shen Wei hurriedly followed the waiter and poured himself a cup of tea as soon as he entered the door.

"What happened that makes you so anxious? I'm helping out in the store." As soon as Wanwuji opened, many customers came and business was exceptionally good.

"Something happened to the Shen family."

Yu Caiwei told Shen Wei the whole story in detail, and Shen Wei's face darkened.

He had not received any news from the Shen family yet, and he didn't even know that such a thing had happened in his family.

"Prince Guangping? Wasn't that something bought?"

Shen Wei started talking immediately. Some time ago, Prince Guangping asked him to use the Shen family's cargo ship to transport a batch of things. He also asked about it. Prince Guangping said that there was no problem with the things, so he wrote a letter to ask the Shen family to do it.

It seems that he has fallen into the trap of Prince Guangping.

"Shen Wei, you're an idiot."

Yu Caiwei spoke in annoyance, she really couldn't help but scold him.

The Shen family has been doing business for generations, so logically speaking, his brain should be pretty good, but he didn't even see through this.

"Caiwei, what should we do now?" Shen Wei was a little panicked. He realized then that he had been deceived by Prince Guangping.

"Has Prince Guangping ever given you anything?" Yu Caiwei asked immediately. No matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do. The Shen family could only be safe if this matter was resolved.

This was an unprovoked disturbance and the Shen family was forced into it.

"Yes, he gave me this." Shen Wei took out a stack of silver from his sleeve. This was the money that Prince Guangping asked him to give to reward the workers below. He refused at that time, but the other party kept stuffing the silver into his arms.

Yu Caiwei took the silver and looked at it, and saw the logo of Prince Guangping's Palace on it.

"Caiwei, does this mean that Prince Guangping asked the Shen family to do something, and the Shen family and him are just doing business?"

Shen Wei spoke immediately, as if this could serve as evidence.

Yu Caiwei held the money in her hand. Now the Shen family's smuggling was being investigated by Prince Guangping, and he had to give an explanation to the emperor about the right and wrong.

"This is evidence, but Prince Guangping will say that this is evidence that the Shen family has been dealing with him behind his back." In this way, the Shen family and Prince Guangping will have to become grasshoppers on the same front, and the emperor will also find a way to accuse the Shen family.

The Shen family is rich enough to rival a country, and their money will also be the envy of the emperor.

If we can get rid of the Shen family and suppress Prince Guangping, this would be the best way.

When Yu Caiwei thought of this, she felt a chill on her back. So this was the mindset of an emperor. This was a way to kill two birds with one stone.
