"Since this is an important matter of the court, the prince does not need to tell the women like Caiwei. It is not reasonable. Now the Prince of Guangling is in prison. I heard that the retainer Li Changming was executed the day before yesterday at the capital's Caishikou."

The implication is that Li Changming is dead.

There is no evidence to prove that Yu Zisheng had private relations with Prince Guangling.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng's gaze lingered on Yu Caiwei for a few seconds, as if evaluating her changes. In the end, he just smiled and said, "It seems that my fiancée is becoming more and more elegant. However, you are so smart, I am a little worried whether I can keep up with you in the future."

Yu Caiwei smiled calmly, modest but confident: "You are joking, my lord. What I did was only for the family, so I naturally have to pay more attention to it. As for other things, I still need your help."

What Yu Caiwei said was true.

If it weren’t for Zisheng’s incident, if it happened, it would definitely bring disaster to the whole family.

Yu Caiwei would never let the Yu family get involved in exposing the conspiracy.

Fortunately, she had the memories of two lives, and according to the clues in her memories of her previous life, she did not need to verify many things and the people involved in person.

The matter was resolved quickly within a few days.

As they were talking, a servant of the Shen family hurried into the study, bowed and asked, "Miss, Miss Yu said that the wing room she arranged a few days ago was too cold and she wanted to change it. The housekeeper changed several places, but Miss Yu was not satisfied with any of them. The housekeeper asked me to send someone to ask Miss, how to arrange her accommodation?"

Yu Caiwei bowed slightly to Xiao Cheng, indicating that they would continue the previous topic later:

"My Lord, please sit down for a moment. I will go and make arrangements and then return."

Xiao Cheng nodded and watched Yu Caiwei's departing back, with an elusive emotion flashing in his eyes.

Yu Caiwei came to the front hall and saw Yu Caijiao who looked unhappy.

She changed into a more gorgeous dress, but she could not hide her fatigue. It was obvious that the long journey was not easy.

"Although I wanted to come to my sister this time to tell her that my father asked me to come to the Shen family, saying that I should learn how to manage household chores, but you arranged me to such a remote wing. In my opinion, you are deliberately embarrassing me, right?"

Yu Caijiao complained dissatisfiedly, looking around as if looking for something.

Yu Caiwei sneered in her heart, but remained calm on her face:

"Cai Jiao, you worry too much. The Shen family is large, and my uncles have not moved in separately. The house with good weather was taken over by my uncles and cousins ​​a long time ago. My sister is only staying here temporarily, so it's not good to ask the elders to vacate the room.

"Besides, the Shen family has strict rules. How dare I make random arrangements? How about this? Although the room in the west wing is a bit old, it is quiet and suitable for quiet study. I will arrange for you to live there."

When Yu Caijiao heard that it was an old house, her face became even worse: "Sister, what do you mean? I am the daughter of the Yu family after all, why do I live in a place like this?"

Yu Caiwei said casually: "Caijiao, although the Shen family is not as rich as the Yu family, every brick and tile has its meaning. That house was where my mother, the previous mistress of the Yu family, lived. I think if you really want to learn, it would be most suitable for you to live there."

There was unquestionable firmness in Yu Caiwei's words. Yu Caijiao was speechless for a moment. She could only glare at her angrily and reluctantly accepted the arrangement.

"You... don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I have my own plans."

After Yu Caijiao said this, she was led to the west wing by the servant.

After Yu Caijiao walked away, Yu Caiwei sighed lightly and turned back to the study.

Back in the study, Xiao Cheng was leisurely sipping tea. Seeing Yu Caiwei coming in, he took the initiative to speak: "It seems that the sisterly love of the Yu family is only this deep."

Yu Caiwei did not comment, but walked to the table and sat down: "My Lord, if you have nothing else to do, please go back to your room and rest. After all, you and I are not married yet, so it is not appropriate for a man and a woman to be in the same room together."

Yu Caiwei's eyes darkened, after all, it wasn't much.

Yu Caiwei returned to her room and saw the spy he had arranged in the capital the day before was guarding the room.

Yu Caiwei frowned.

"How did you come?"

"Report to the prince. We have discovered new things about Prince Guangling's rebellion."

"What is it?"

Xiao Cheng put down the teacup and his expression became serious.

"I discovered that the connection between the Prince of Guangling's Palace and certain officials in the court is much closer than we thought. Moreover, the private raising of soldiers and horses should involve more than just the Prince of Guangling."

"how you said that?"

"When the Jinyiwei went to search the house, our people got the account books of the Guangling Palace for nearly ten years. It turned out that the Guangling Prince had been obsessed with smelting elixirs in recent years, and he had to spend a lot of money every month to send them to a Taoist temple in the west of the capital. The Guangling Palace's treasury had long been empty, and the previous year, the Jinzhou prefecture governor, the biological brother of the Guangling Princess, was exposed for embezzling official money to build a private house and keep singing girls. In order to keep her brother's official hat, the Guangling Princess emptied her mother's family to make up for the hole."

Yu Caiwei stood up and paced slowly in the room.

"So the Prince of Guangling definitely can't afford such a large sum of money to privately station troops. Does Jingzhao Prefecture know about this?"

The spy replied quickly.

"The relevant files should be delivered to the Jingzhao prefect's desk today."

Yu Caiwei nodded and waved the spy away.

the other side.

Baocui laughed in the room at Yu Caijiao's humiliation just now.

"Miss, you were so majestic just now. You acted like the mistress of the house!"

"I said, our Shen family will never allow the second young lady to be so presumptuous!"

Ever since Yu Caijiao and Yu Caiwei had a falling out in this life, Baocui particularly hated this hypocritical man who wanted to get the second young lady.

Yu Caiwei responded with a faint smile, but was secretly planning her next move in her heart.

She wanted to get rid of Yu's father's shackles as soon as possible.

She knew that this game of chess had just begun, and she would never be a chess piece that could be manipulated by others.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, the housekeeper knocked on the door again and poked his head in: "Miss, the second young lady said that there are many inconveniences in her residence and asked to change it."

Yu Caiwei led the housekeeper out and happened to meet Xiao Cheng in the yard.

Yu Caiwei signaled to the housekeeper to tell him about Yu Caijiao's pickyness about the room.

Yu Caiwei raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Cheng, as if asking for advice, or as if doing it on purpose: "My Lord, what do you think we should do?"

Xiao Cheng chuckled and stood up: "She is your sister, why are you asking me?

When the housekeeper saw Yu Caiwei directed the conversation to Xiao Cheng, he immediately took over.

"Miss, Second Miss Yu has always been picky about the coldness of her residence. Why not arrange for Second Miss Yu to live in the right wing of the prince's room. That is the room that is most exposed to the west sun."

Yu Caiwei's heart moved, so she nodded and agreed: "That's great. If Caijiao has any inconvenience, the prince will have to bear with her."

Xiao Cheng bowed slightly, with a hint of unknown meaning in his eyes: "Of course, I will take good care of every member of the Yu family."
