The children went to bed early. By the time she got there, the nanny had already put both of them to sleep.
Once back in her own courtyard, Zhuang Ruyun let out a sigh of relief, slumping onto the chaise lounge.
Nanny Xu, who had been trailing her since their visit to the study, stepped forward and removed the pins from her hair. "Madam, why don't you wash up first? You should go lie down and get some rest."
Nanny Xu was a long-serving retainer Zhuang Ruyun had brought with her from Yangzhou. Having watched her grow up, she was someone Zhuang Ruyun was extremely close to.
Zhuang Ruyun held nothing back from Nanny Xu. "Nanny, how can I possibly rest? Don't I still have to manage all of the Zhuang Family's shops in the Capital City? I haven't even finished today's ledgers. Never mind. I'll rest for a little while, then get back to them. The year-end is just a few months away, and there's still a mountain of accounts to settle for the household."
