"Qian mama." The lid met the teacup in Ouyang Nuan's hand with a crisp sound. Ouyang Nuan smiled and looked faintly at the woman who just spoke. Her eyes were chilly and clear, with a tinge of coldness. Qian mama's forehead slowly started sweating. She really did not understand how a teenage girl could look at people with such power!

The hall was silent. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen.

"Then according to Qian mama's meaning, what should Li Yiniang do?" Ouyang Nuan softly asked. Her voice didn't seem like she was angry.

Qian mama breathed a sigh of relief. She tilted her neck up. "It wasn't as troublesome with Furen's old steward. It's good as long as we act according to the rules. They are rules set by Furen. Could they be wrong? Li Yiniang just took over and doesn't need to do such troublesome things. Everyone has things that they have to do. Why do something extra……?"

Ouyang looked at Qian mama and knew that she must be one of Nee Lin's people. She knew that at this time an ordinary servant would not speak, much less speak such offensive words to contradict her superiors.

Qian mama was startled by Ouyang Nuan's smile. Her heart did not settle, but she felt uneasy. What was First Xiaojie smiling at? At this time, even if she didn't express her anger, she still shouldn't be smiling. But Qian mama wanted to provoke Ouyang Nuan. It was best if she pulled Qian mama outside and hit her with the boards as punishment. As a result, Qian mama could then insist that she was beaten by First Xiaojie because Qian mama was trying to enforce Furen's rules. Thus, no matter how Ouyang Nuan treated Qian mama afterwards, her reputation would suffer if this piece of news was spread outside.

Ouyang Nuan slightly smiled as she asked, "Oh, did I say that I want to change mother's rules? Li Yiniang, did you say that you wanted to change mother's rules?"

Li Yiniang immediately replied, "Of course not, First Xiaojie. I just wanted to know the situation in the fu, so it will be easier for me to manage."

Generally, when a new master was in charge of the fu, he would come out with some new rules to showcase how different and decisive he was. Li Yuee also wanted to do this. However, she never said it out loud. Qian mama stared blankly. "Laonu [literally: this old slave] thought……"

"Oh, so the servants in this fu are clever enough to presume to guess what their master is thinking? Or are you teaching me how to do things?" Ouyang Nuan said coldly.

Cold sweat appeared on Qian mama's forehead. She was panicked. First Xiaojie's words were completely different than what she had imagined. If it was like this, then wasn't the person in the wrong Qian mama herself? But she had nothing to fear because Furen said that she would have her back! Thinking of this, Qian mama straightened her back and boldly said, "What is First Xiaojie saying? Laonu just thought to remind you, in case Furen lays down blame……"

Ouyang Nuan looked straight at Qian mama. Her gentle voice held heart-shaking coldness. "Then I should be thanking you for teaching me how to do things? It seems like Ouyang family's First Xiaojie, me, is not comparable to a managing mama and need you to teach me how to do things. How about this? I'll tell Laotaitai that you are in charge of Ouyang fu starting tomorrow. Everyone else will listen to your orders. How about it?"
