There are no walls in the backyard that don't let in the wind.
The feud between the Li family and the Nian family has now been established.
One has a son, the other has a favorite; the Fourth Uncle's backyard is going to be quite a spectacle from now on.
Because of the recent death of the eldest prince, the household was in a slump for quite some time. Nan Yi stayed at home obediently. The next time he saw Nara was a month later, when she handed over the household affairs that she had been temporarily in charge of back to the Fujin.
Nara readily handed over the keys to the account books to her, giving her a rare moment of kindness.
Yinzhen said, "Well done. Continue to help your wife with household affairs in the future."

I would like to ask Granny Qiu to continue to serve me in Plum Courtyard. I wonder if Your Highness would agree to let me keep Granny Qiu here."
"Madam..."
"I won't agree," Nan Yi refused decisively.
Nara's expression froze. She hadn't expected Tong to be so direct, not even giving her, the primary consort, any face.
