Zhi Wan still felt a little awkward as she stepped down from the carriage. Seeing only Chen Jiu waiting there, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
'What Nanny said was just too mortifying.' She was dreading seeing her cousin more than anything right now.
"Miss, the Princely Heir has already gone inside," Chen Jiu said, stepping forward. "He instructed me to wait here and take you to your rooms to rest."
"Thank you for your trouble." Zhi Wan nodded.
Chen Jiu had booked five rooms in total. Three were superior-grade rooms for Lu Zhan, Zhi Wan, and Ouyang Zhenzhu. The other two were secondary rooms for Chen Jiu, Jiang Shi, the coachman, Nanny Fang, and the others.
Zhi Wan and Ouyang Zhenzhu were given adjoining rooms.
After escorting the two of them, Chen Jiu withdrew.
