Chapter 517 - 271: Meeting Again_1
Thank you for your gifts and monthly tickets, much appreciated~~ Xiuxiu has changed location, and Qing Quan feels very anxious, the pressure during this period has been immense. I hope my dear readers can continue to support Qing Quan and Wenwen. Although we are currently in a transitional phase of plot development, which may seem a bit dull, the exciting parts are yet to come. The transitional period in "Raise Sons" was even longer, but once overcome, it led to a bright and promising path. Qing Quan is also cheering herself on, let’s go!!!

Qian Yixiu trusted Manager Wong Shou more. Wong Shou would be head butler, and Old Man Cai would become the second butler.
Considering the various key leadership positions within the external courtyards, such as those managing external affairs, the accounts, and the Protector, the External Affairs Office and accounting managers were sent by the Pan Mansion, while the Protector was one of Qian Manjiang’s former Personal Soldiers. Although Yixiu had some doubts about the accounting manager, feeling it might not be ideal to have both the head manager and the accounting manager come from Pan Mansion, she had no suitable candidates at hand. She would have to ask Old Man Cai to keep a close watch on the accounts and bring in a young Servant, her own recruit, as an apprentice.
Butler of Inner Court, Sister Qin, had been a formidable head maid when Pan Yue was young, who, after marrying and having children, returned to manage affairs in Pan Yue’s court. Hearing about her past, Yixiu felt she could be trusted. If well utilized, Sister Qin might become the most reliable assistant to either herself or Grandma Wu in the future.
Sister Yu, formerly in charge of Pan Yue’s small kitchen, would manage the kitchen affairs, with Lady He as her deputy.
Madam Dan, who used to work in Grandmother Pan’s household in Rongen Earl Mansion, was now put in charge of the main courtyard. As Grandmother Pan frequently dealt with distinguished ladies, Madam Dan’s capability was beyond doubt, yet her genuine willingness to help Lady Wu, devoid of any disrespect, was a necessity.
Coming to the Capital City as a stranger, Lady Wu understood nothing, groping in the dark. The steward in charge of her quarters not only had to manage her household but was also responsible for reminding her about external caution and coordinating affairs within the Mansion. She needed someone she could absolutely trust.
Yixiu decided to first let Qian Hua’s wife, Lady Wei, serve in Lady Wu’s main courtyard while observing Madam Dan discreetly.
Madam Song, who was originally set to manage Xiyue Pavilion, was turned down by Qian Yixiu.
After fourteen years away from the Capital City, the young mother’s temperament has greatly changed, and her mind wasn’t quite clear; it was crucial to find someone she could easily adapt to. So Yixiu appointed Sister-in-law Huang, who had been diligently serving Pan Yue over the years, to manage the main courtyard. Sister-in-law Huang’s son had already turned three months old, so she could return to take care of Pan Yue.
