Just as Lady Dowager had predicted, when she returned to the Duke Residence, the Grand Princess and her clan were reading Zhou Gu's letter. In the letter, Zhou Gu mentioned that he was getting married to Su Rong in half a year, asking if they would care to visit Nanchu for the ceremony.
He wrote that it wasn't an issue if they couldn't make the long journey. In such case, they could wait until he and Su Rong were free to visit their grandmother, mother, and aunts.
Holding the letter, the Grand Princess sighed, "Half a year? That's too soon. The Imperial Court and Dawei had just concluded their peace negotiations, hadn't they?"
She had only just received a letter from her father the day before, saying he would be returning to the capital soon. Now, she had another letter saying her grandson was getting married after half a year. That was a bit too rushed, wasn't it?
"Did the princess get pregnant?" An aunt softly asked.
