"Why didn't you wake me up?" Ouyang Nuan's voice was still dazed.

"I wanted to, but Li Yiniang said that she was the one to suddenly come over and insisted on not letting me wake you. She's with Fang mama now." Hongyu helped Ouyang Nuan put on a plain, velvet embroidered coat.

Upon seeing Ouyang Nuan, Li Yiniang rushed over with a smile to respectfully curtsy to her. She was wearing a peach-colored coat with a jasper hairpin on her head. She looked refined and well-off. Ouyang Nuan lightly waved her hand. "Li Yiniang doesn't have to be polite." Li Yuee used to call her Nuan'er. Now she respectfully called her First Xiaojie. It seemed that she clearly understood her ident.i.ty today. This was for the best. The best way for a newly-married concubine to gain a foothold in the house was to get strong outside a.s.sistance……

"By the grace of Laotaitai, the household is temporarily under my management. But I'm newly-married so how can I go above Laotaitai? Fortunately, Laotaitai said that I will be working with First Xiaojie. If I do something wrong, First Xiaojie, please……"

Ouyang Nuan lightly smiled. "Li Yiniang is too polite. Since grandmother handed the household for you to manage, you can manage it freely."

"Yes, now all the managing mamas are waiting in the main hall to see First Xiaojie." Li Yiniang's smile was very amiable and her att.i.tude was very sincere.

She was just a yiniang and newly-married. Because Laotaitai valued her, she obtained the opportunity to manage the fu for half a month. Naturally, Laotaitai wanted to recover some power through this. The more important reason was to showcase her strength to Nee Lin and let Nee Lin see that Ouyang fu could live without anyone. If Li Yuee did something wrong and cause some trouble, it would be the equivalent of Laotaitai slapping herself. It would more difficult to deal with Nee Lin's matters in the future. Thus, Ouyang Nuan did not refuse. She nodded. "Since it's like that, please lead the way, Li Yiniang."

Ouyang Nuan stared straight ahead as she crossed the short, dark red, velvet carpet. She walked straight to the high-backed mahogany chair and sat down. A maidservant was waiting with a tea tray by the side. She hurriedly curtsied and poured tea. Ouyang nodded and looked up. She saw that the hall filled with a dense crowd of people……
