Xiang Wan was secretly pleased. After searching through the crowd, she came up with another idea. With a smile, she pulled Shi Yuanyuan to her side.

"Shi Yuanyuan used to be my personal maid. But now she's my sister-in-law, so she can no longer be a maid. I need to choose two maids to serve her. Does anyone want to volunteer to take care of Yuanyuan's daily life?"

Everyone initially thought Xiang Wan would choose a servant herself, just like she had assigned a servant to Shi Liefeng, but unexpectedly, she made her own recommendations. Before anyone could react, several burly maids who wanted to shed their roles as cleaning maids immediately raised their hands in greeting.

Xiang Wan smiled and pointed to the two girls at the front of the table for Shi Yuanyuan. Everyone sighed that they had been too slow to react, while the two burly maids beamed and stood behind Shi Yuanyuan.

Shi Yuanyuan looked constipated. "Miss, I'm afraid this isn't in accordance with the rules, is it?"

“What’s wrong with the rules? Rules are made by people. Now that I’m in charge of the manor, what I say is the rule. Yuanyuan, you used to envy me, saying how great it was to be a young lady, with people serving you whatever you did. Now it’s all good, you can be a young lady too, and you’ll have people serving you from now on. Also, you should change how you address me.”

Xiang Wan looked at her with a smile, waiting for her to call out to someone.

It wasn't that Xiang Wan insisted on Shi Yuanyuan calling her that, but rather that in front of everyone, she needed to be given the proper status. Xiang Wan could make whoever she wanted be the young lady, and if she didn't want someone to be, then they could be stripped of their status. This Li household was under her, Li Xiang Wan's, control, and she wanted to show those with ulterior motives who truly belonged in the household.
