Since Yuewan wouldn't go, she naturally decided not to as well. Rising, she said, "Fine then, if you're not going, it'll be no fun for me by myself. I'll return as well."

Su Rong nodded.

Zhou Gu, after having had lunch in Xie Yuan's residence and spending half a day with Su Xingze, returned to the governor's office. As he was finishing his meal, he asked upon not seeing Su Rong, "Where's Su Rong?"
