The Duke Residence was enormous, and the servants inside were very well-disciplined. Upon seeing Su Rong, they uniformly greeted her, calling out "Lady Su Qi," even though it was her first visit. They all obviously recognized her.
Zhou Gu led the way with large strides, seemingly exuding rage down to every strand of his hair. Without turning his head or slowing his pace, he seemed to disregard whether Su Rong could keep up with him.
Of course, Su Rong was able to keep pace. She also had swift footsteps, and because she had learnt decorum from the wet nurse Zhao for a long time, even with the fast pace, the adornment on her head barely trembled. As she wasn't accustomed to wearing jewelry, she didn't create a string of crisp, clinking sounds like Duanhua Princess did while walking.
Zhou Gu strode directly into his grandfather's study, the old Duke. He didn't even bother observing the usual etiquette today, hollering "Grandfather" before pushing open the door to enter.
