Governor Su was relieved to see that Su Rong was not asking any more questions.
As Su Rong observed his relief, she thought to herself, wondering what he was trying to hide from her. She wasn't a child anymore. There were no more secrets to keep.
It seemed she could only pin her hopes on the Duke Residence.
Just as she was thinking about the Duke Residence, someone came running in to report. "Master, Miss Seven, the Duke Residence has sent a gift."
Governor Su was shocked and turned to look at the messenger. "What did you say?"
The messenger was panting, but his words were clear. "Master, it's Li, the guard who Madame sent to the Capital city to deliver the letter to the Duke Residence. He said that Young Master Zhou has also come to Jiangning and brought two large carts of gifts; said they are for Miss Seven's coming-of-age ceremony."
Governor Su sprang up, looking stunned. "Young Master Zhou has come to Jiangning?"
"Yes, he came with Guard Li."
