By the time Zhou Gu returned to the Duke Residence, the world had sank into darkness.
After bidding farewell to Princess Sheng An, Zhou Gu leisurely returned to his Frost Linden Court.
As per the Duchess's orders, a servant was waiting outside the court, and upon Zhou Gu's arrival paid his respects, "Young Master Zhou, the Duchess instructed me to wait for your return and report to her that you are safely back."
Zhou Gu nodded and gestured a hand dismissively, "Tell my mother not to worry, my grandmother is fine and I am unharmed, so she should rest early."
"Yes," the servant replied, before departing.
Zhou Gu entered his quarters.
He did not feel tired and sat at his table pouring out a cup of tea, simply sitting there.
