Chapter 2309: So Many People?
The masked Lady of the City Lord, upon seeing that the person they were searching for was not in the inn, turned to ask Dong’er.
Dong’er was already on the verge of tears.
Clearly, they had agreed yesterday, yet when they came early this morning, the person had already disappeared.
"Madam, I’m sorry. Yesterday, I failed to confirm an exact time with the lady. It was my fault for mishandling the matter," she admitted, taking full responsibility.
All the blame, she took upon herself—after all, it was her mistake not to arrange a precise time with the lady yesterday.
"Be more careful in the future. Don’t handle things so rashly again," the Lady of the City Lord replied casually, without further reprimanding her.
"Madam, should we... head back?"
Dong’er cautiously glanced at her mistress and asked.
"Since we’ve already come this far, turning back wouldn’t be right. Go downstairs and book a room. We’ll stay here for now," instructed the Lady of the City Lord.
Today, they were dressed plainly, bearing no signs of wealth, so staying in an inn shouldn’t be an issue.
