Yu Caiwei stood in the center of the hearing, surrounded by people from the Duke's Mansion, each with a complex look in their eyes. Her eyes were firm and bright, and she calmly faced this important meeting that would determine her fate.

"What I pursue is not personal vanity or selfish desire. I hope to uncover the secrets hidden in history through studying the "Mysterious Records" and make more contributions to my family and the country." Yu Caiwei's voice was clear and firm, and every word was powerful.

There was a flurry of discussion in the crowd, some nodded in agreement, while others still had doubts. At this time, the mysterious messenger came forward, holding a gold-plated letter, and slowly said: "I am here to investigate this matter on the orders of His Majesty. His Majesty believes that Miss Yu Caiwei's research may bring unprecedented changes to the country."

Hearing this, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, and those who were originally dissatisfied with Yu Caiwei began to change their attitudes, and discussions arose one after another.

"What? Even the emperor takes this matter seriously?"

"That's great! Second Miss Yu is really extraordinary!"

The old lady frowned slightly, and it was obvious that she was also very surprised. But she immediately sorted out her emotions and said in a deep voice: "In this case, Yu Caiwei, you must cherish this opportunity and don't let down the emperor's trust and everyone's expectations."

Yu Caiwei nodded respectfully, "Thank you for your tolerance and support, old lady. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

At this time, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but say, "Sister, you are the focus now. If you need any help in the future, just tell me, I will fully support you."

Yu Caiwei smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. In fact, I have another capable assistant, she is the new servant Su Qing. These days, we have been discussing the contents of ancient books together."

At this point, Su Qing, who had been standing silently by the side, took a step forward and bowed generously, "Hello everyone, I am Su Qing. I am very happy to work with Miss Yu Caiwei."

Someone in the crowd whispered, "It turns out that the two of them have been working together for a long time. No wonder the progress is so fast."

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner: "But then again, is it really reliable to study forbidden techniques? What if something goes wrong..." Before the person finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone next to him: "What do you know? Even the emperor has issued an edict to support it!"

As the hearing came to a successful conclusion, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few close servants to help clean up the venue. One of the young servants curiously asked the old servant next to him: "Uncle Chen, do you think Miss Yu can really find the legendary wisdom and secrets?"

Old Chen smiled slightly, his eyes full of admiration, "Based on my understanding of the Second Miss over the years, I think she will never give up easily. And you see she can persist in such a difficult situation, not to mention that she now has the support of the Emperor, not to mention that the eldest young master will also try his best to help. Do you think she can't do it?"

The young servant nodded as if he had suddenly realized something. "So that's how it is. I'm really looking forward to what incredible things will happen in the future!"

In the library, Yu Caiwei and Su Qing were immersed in the ocean of books again. They carefully read the ancient books in their hands, occasionally looking up to exchange their thoughts. Yu Caiwei suddenly stopped what she was doing, looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and said softly: "Su Qing, you know? Sometimes I wonder if all this is destined or coincidental? Why did I find the "Mysterious Records"? Why did I meet friends and supporters like you on this road?"

Su Qing smiled and turned around to look at her: "Perhaps, this is God's will! But no matter what the result is, at least we are now working towards a great goal. Isn't it?"

Yu Caiwei laughed, "Indeed. Then in the days to come, let us work together to uncover all the mysteries."

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. An anxious servant rushed in and reported: "Second Miss, Miss Su, something bad has happened! It is said that signs of unknown forces' activities have been discovered outside the city, which may pose a threat to our Duke's Mansion..."

The two looked at each other, and a trace of determination flashed in their eyes. With the servant's news, a tense atmosphere quickly filled the library. Yu Caiwei and Su Qing put down the books in their hands, walked out of the library quickly, and rushed to the hall of the Duke's Mansion.

On the way, the two met guards and other servants who were hurrying by. A little servant boy saw them running by and asked another companion beside him in surprise: "Aren't those the Second Miss and Miss Su? Why are they so anxious?"

The companion next to him answered: "I heard that there are unknown forces outside the city. It is said that they are not simple! They may come for us..." The little servant's eyes widened, with an unbelievable look on his face, "Oh my God, is it true?"

At this time, the eldest young master Xiao Cheng was standing at the entrance of the hall, facing the wind, his eyes were sharp. Seeing them coming, he immediately waved his hand. "Caiwei, Su Qing, come in. I have arranged for people to strengthen the defense, and sent people out to investigate. I hope everything is fine."

Yu Caiwei nodded, "Brother always makes people feel at ease when doing things." Then she turned to Su Qing, "But we can't let our guard down now. Who knows who is behind that group of people? And their target is probably the "Mysterious Records" in my hand! We must find a way to protect this ancient book as soon as possible and uncover all its secrets."

"That's right." Su Qing responded firmly, and the two walked into the conference room together. At this time, the room was already full of important officials from the Duke's Mansion, including the family's military commanders and counselors, who were all here to discuss countermeasures.

An old general spoke first. "Since such a serious problem is before us, we must come up with countermeasures. The key point now is that we don't know what these people's purpose is...what do they want?"

At this time, another young strategist interrupted and said, "In my opinion, since someone dares to openly challenge our Duke's Mansion and even the authority of the court, the supporters behind them must be very powerful. I think we should not confront them directly, but take a smarter approach to deal with the enemy! Perhaps it would be safer to find a breakthrough from intelligence."

Everyone was talking about it, and they couldn't reach a consensus. Just when the scene was getting a little chaotic, a clear voice rang out: "In fact, I think that since the opponent is so powerful and mysterious, brute force alone will not work. But if we take the initiative to attack, we may be able to turn the passive situation into the active one." The person who spoke was Yu Caiwei herself.
