Upon hearing this, the waiter's face fell. He apologized to Zhi Wan and the others. "I'm terribly sorry, ladies. Would you mind sitting in the main hall? Or perhaps you could try another restaurant?"
He was clearly intimidated by the other party's status.
Ouyang Zhenzhu had never been so humiliated. 'How dare the mere daughter of an Assistant Magistrate bully us?'
She was about to explode with rage, but Zhi Wan pulled her back.
She whispered, "Let it go. We're far from home; it's better to avoid trouble. Let's just sit in the main hall. It's not so bad."
Seeing this, Jiang Shi, who had started to step forward, retreated.
The waiter nodded at them gratefully and lowered his voice. "Please, have a seat over there for now. I'll have the kitchen prioritize your orders."
"Thank you," Zhi Wan said, pulling a reluctant Ouyang Zhenzhu to an empty table in the main hall.
