章節 208: Chapter 196 Closed Door (Eight more)

After the truth was spilled, Duke, seeing Zhou Gu's state, could not help but feel a pang of heartache for his grandson. He regretted even more that if he had initially matched Su Rong with Zhou Che instead of Zhou Gu, he would not have these worries. Zhou Che was not as willful as Zhou Gu, was not as sharp, and did not bear his great expectations. He was not groomed for the role of an Auxiliary Minister, so even if he followed Su Rong to Nanchu to be a royal consort, that would also be acceptable.

Zhou Che was not Zhou Gu; he didn't need to support the future of the Duke Residence or bear the responsibility of helping a wise ruler to prosper Daliang's society. He could completely leave the Duke Residence, to be solely Su Rong's royal consort, and still have the Duke Residence as his backing. He would be able to establish himself in Nanchu and perform his duties as a royal consort well.
