The inner courtyard is managed by Princess Nanzhang, while the outer courtyard is overseen by the Old Prince.
Now, as the Old Prince is bedridden recovering from injuries, the Prince has taken over the management of the mansion, naturally making him in charge.
The Old Prince and the Prince are busy with state affairs and have no time to manage these trivial matters, so Manager Li dutifully organizes everything well.
One could say the outer courtyard is entirely under Manager Li's control.
Of course, the outer courtyard also contains many of Princess Nanzhang's confidants, as well as those loyal to the Old Madam and the second and third households.
Manager Li is well aware of the situation but turns a blind eye to it.
At this moment, the Prince has instructed to select two trustworthy maids to be sent.
Manager Li chooses two honest and loyal ones from among his confidants and sends them to Qingqiu Garden.
