Song Wei thought, the Prince Consort has a mild temper. Since he has come sincerely, there's no reason for me to shut him out.
He opened the courtyard gate completely and invited him in.
Lu Xingzhou stepped in and glanced around. The courtyard was small but tidily arranged, giving off a warm familial atmosphere.
Suddenly, Lu Xingzhou asked Song Wei, "You and your wife seem to have a good relationship, don't you?"
Song Wei smiled without speaking, which was considered assent.
Unexplainably, Lu Xingzhou felt a bit envious of him.
Unaffected by status burdens, without grievances binding them, even if life was austere, they could remain loving and supportive until old age.
Sometimes, a simple life might not be a misfortune.
Inside the main room, Wen Wan heard the conversation and lifted the curtain, seeing at once the stranger standing next to Song Wei.
