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

Yu Caiwei looked up. Her face looked unusually pale under the candlelight, but her eyes were still bright. "Some things, even if they are not understood, must be done. I can't give up what I think is right just because I am afraid of punishment."

Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment, then he sighed softly, "You always surprise me, Yu Caiwei."

He walked forward, gently put a cloak on her shoulders, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Caiwei's voice.

"Brother, do you believe that there is a force beyond common sense in the world?" She spoke with a hint of expectation.

Xiao Cheng paused, turned his back to her and replied, "If you say it, I'm willing to believe it once."

This sentence was like a warm current that penetrated Yu Caiwei's cold heart. She watched Xiao Cheng's back gradually go away, and secretly promised in her heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would stick to her beliefs.

The next morning, outside the ancestral hall, the old lady of the Duke's Mansion came with the servants to see if Yu Caiwei had any remorse. She pushed open the door and saw Yu Caiwei still kneeling there, but her head rested on her knees, and she seemed to have fallen asleep, with her cloak falling to the side.

The old lady approached and heard Yu Caiwei mumbling in her sleep: "Please let this world have more understanding and less prejudice."

The old lady's eyes were complicated, as if she saw Yu Caiwei's tenacious and pure heart at this moment. She whispered to the servant beside her: "Let her rest. Let her rest at home after today's study."

As the servants were busy, Yu Caiwei was carefully helped up and sent to her room. In the ancestral hall, the old lady stood quietly for a while, finally sighed softly, turned around and left, leaving a sentence floating in the morning breeze: "Perhaps, I am old and can't see the many possibilities in this world clearly."

A few days later, Yu Caiwei's perseverance and persistence quietly spread throughout the Duke's Mansion and became a topic of conversation after dinner. People were talking about it in the streets and alleys.

"Have you heard? The second young lady of the Duke's Mansion actually knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole night for a belief."

"What a wonderful woman. If it were me, I would have given up long ago."

"The conversation between her and the young master is even more curious. There seems to be an unusual friendship between the two."

After Yu Caiwei woke up, she was not discouraged by what happened before, but became more determined. She began to secretly study those ancient books that were considered taboos, hoping to find evidence to prove her point of view. This behavior made those who were already skeptical of her even more shocked.

One day, she accidentally found a long-forgotten ancient book "Mysterious Records" in the library of her mansion. It was said that it recorded incredible magic and wisdom. Just as she was immersed in the book as if she had found a treasure, a girl she had never met quietly walked into the library.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Yu Caiwei? I didn't expect you to be interested in such strange things." The girl looked curious and did not hide her surprise.

Yu Caiwei looked up, sizing up the lively and cheerful girl in front of her, and replied, "Everyone has their own pursuits, right? Even if it looks different from others."

"That's true. My name is Su Qing, and I'm a new servant. I'm looking forward to your guidance in the future." Su Qing stretched out her hand with a smile.

Yu Caiwei smiled gently and held her hand. "Nice to meet you, Su Qing. Perhaps, we can explore these secrets together."

The meeting between the two seemed to be arranged by fate, bringing a ray of warm sunshine to Yu Caiwei's world. They read ancient books together in the library, discussing the amazing knowledge, which often attracted the attention and comments of other servants and servants.

"Look, Miss Yu is now with Su Qing all day, talking about things we can't understand."

"Maybe they can really discover something wonderful."

However, just as Yu Caiwei and Su Qing were immersed in the joy of exploring the unknown, a sudden crisis quietly arrived. An anonymous secret letter was delivered to the old lady, accusing Yu Caiwei of studying forbidden techniques with unclear intentions.

After learning about this, Xiao Cheng hurriedly found Yu Caiwei, his eyes full of worry, "Caiwei, why are you doing this? Why do you put yourself in such danger?"

Yu Caiwei looked determined and smiled slightly, "Brother, if you don't go through the wind and rain, how can you see the rainbow? I believe that the truth will eventually come to light."

Xiao Cheng sighed, knowing that he couldn't convince her, so he could only nod helplessly, "Then at least be careful and don't let yourself get hurt."

"Yeah, I know." Yu Caiwei held Xiao Cheng's hand tightly, her gratitude beyond words.

As things developed, the atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion became tense, and everyone looked at Yu Caiwei with complicated eyes. Behind all this, there seemed to be a mysterious force surging in the dark, waiting for a certain opportunity to reveal all the secrets.

"Yu Caiwei, are you ready?" Su Qing asked softly in the night. The two stood at the highest point of the mansion, looking at the starry sky.

Yu Caiwei took a deep breath and said, "No matter what the future holds, we must face it bravely."

Su Qing held Yu Caiwei's hand tightly, her eyes flashing with determination and trust, "Then let us fight side by side and uncover the truth."

The next day, the old lady summoned all the important members of the mansion, and a hearing on Yu Caiwei was about to begin. The news spread like wildfire, and people inside and outside the mansion filled the yard, wanting to witness the end of this storm with their own eyes.

"Have you heard? Today the fate of the second young lady will be decided."

"I don't know how she will defend herself. After all, studying forbidden techniques is no small matter."

At the hearing, Yu Caiwei stood straight. Facing everyone's doubts, she slowly spoke: "What I pursue is nothing more than the truth of history and the honor of my family. The Mysterious Records is not an evil technique, but a misunderstood wisdom."

Her words made everyone look at each other in bewilderment, and for a moment, there was a lot of discussion.

At this time, an old man who was usually taciturn suddenly stood up. He was the oldest historian in the mansion. "Although I am old, I still remember the teachings of my ancestors clearly. The real imprisonment is not in books, but in people's hearts. Without a heart of exploration, how can there be the light of progress? What Miss Yu did may be an act of breaking the old rules."

The old man's words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves, causing the originally accusatory atmosphere to begin to subtly change. Murmurs of approval rang out among the crowd.

"So that's how it is. We have wronged the Second Miss."

"What a courageous woman, she dares to challenge old customs."

At this moment, a mysterious foreign envoy stepped into the crowd, holding a gold-plated letter, and walked straight towards the old lady, "I am here to investigate this matter on the orders of His Majesty. Miss Yu Caiwei's research may bring unprecedented changes to the country."

There was an uproar in the mansion. All doubts and accusations disappeared at this moment, and were replaced by shock and expectation.

Yu Caiwei looked at Su Qing, and they smiled at each other, their hearts filled with unprecedented confidence and hope.
