Ever since Yu'er turned six months old, Chen Afu began to gradually take over the management of the Marquis' Mansion from Madam San. She spent over an hour each morning in the Inner Courtyard Conference Hall handling mansion affairs. She never had been fond of domestic management, and ever since she'd started managing the household, she'd been training Mrs. Li and Hong Fei to be her capable assistants. Hong Fei had already been promised in marriage to a manager in the mansion, and Chen Afu decided to let her get married two years later.

Luckily, Yu'er had started eating supplemental food, and she only needed to be breastfed twice a day, in the morning and evening.

On the tenth lunar day Chen Afu invited all the masters except those from the second residence to have dinner in the Bamboo Pavilion. Mrs. Li was so angry that she cursed in the courtyard for most of the night. The news reached Chen Afu the next day.
