[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Han Mansion seemed somewhat solemn.

Song's father and mother sat stiffly on the chairs, their bodies leaning forward slightly, their hands tightly grasping the armrests, as if that was their only support.

Their eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, revealing obvious uneasiness and tension.

The maid beside her came forward respectfully and gently placed two cups of steaming tea on the table.

After Song's father and mother looked at each other, they hesitantly reached out to pick up the teacup.

However, because they were too panicked, their hands kept shaking, so that the tea lid and teacup collided with each other, making a crisp "ding dong" sound from time to time.

"Old man, why do I feel so uneasy? I haven't seen Yanzhi in a few years. Could this really be her home? Could we have been fooled?"

Mother Song said in a low voice, her face full of anxiety.

Father Song took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. You'll know when you see her. But... it's a bit strange. How could our daughter, whom we haven't seen for a few years, suddenly become the wife of the Duke of Pu?"

Thinking back to what happened a few days ago, Song's mother is still in a daze.

At that time, she and the old man were busy with the autumn harvest in the fields. Suddenly, a group of well-dressed and impressive strangers came to the village and went straight to their house.

The appearance of these people was like a whirlwind, instantly breaking the original tranquility of the small village.

Looking at the group of people in brocade and silk in front of them, Song's mother and father couldn't help but feel fear.

They had been honest and simple all their lives and had never seen such a scene before. For a moment they didn't know how to respond.

"You...who are you?"

Father Song mustered up the courage to ask, his voice trembling like a candle in the wind, and his eyes were fixed on the man standing in the front, as if trying to find some answers from the other's expression.

"Are you Song Dagang's family?"

The man who came had a solemn expression and was stern. His stern face seemed to freeze the air around him, causing Song's father and mother's hearts to tremble involuntarily, and the trembling became more and more intense.

"Yes... yes... yes, I don't know... who... you are?"

Father Song was so nervous that he stuttered when he spoke, and his originally smooth words became halting.

When the leading man heard Song's father's response, his eyes lit up instantly and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"So it's our old master and old lady! I'm here to pay my respects to them!"

The leading man shouted loudly, and before he finished speaking, he led everyone behind him to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Song's father and mother.

Then, the leading man introduced himself: "I am Min Sanxing, the steward of the Princess's Mansion. This time, I am sent by the Princess to welcome the old master and old lady to the capital to live for a while and enjoy a peaceful life."

Hearing this, Song's father and mother were immediately excited, and their mood was as difficult to calm down as the vast ocean.

Going to the capital? That's where the emperor stands, right at the foot of the imperial city!

When they thought that they would soon live in the same city with the current emperor, they felt both excited and terrified.

More importantly, their daughter-in-law is a princess and is so filial that she took the initiative to send people to pick them up to enjoy life in Beijing. This really makes the old couple very happy and they can't help but feel delighted.

It has been four or five years since their daughter-in-law and son got married. Due to the long distance, the old couple has never seen their daughter-in-law, who is a princess, in person.

After hearing the news, the old couple instantly became flustered and hurriedly began to pack their luggage, happily preparing to go to the capital to visit their daughter-in-law.

However, just as they were busy, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way - this person was Min Sanxing.

Min Sanxing said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa, Grandma, please don't bother! The capital is a prosperous place with everything you need. You don't need to bother to clean up like this.

Even if you need to eat or drink or rest along the way, the inns along the way will naturally provide comprehensive services."

In fact, Min Sanxing was muttering to himself: Look at how shabby this house is, what decent thing can be cleaned up?

Even if we really pick up some of them, if we bring these shabby things to the princess's house, I guess the princess will be so angry when she sees them that she will throw them out directly!

However, he didn't dare say this to their faces, so he could only stop the two old men with a forced smile.

Faced with Min Sanxing's obstruction, Song's father and mother couldn't help feeling uneasy.

They looked at each other and said hesitantly, "It's always too expensive to buy food outside. Why don't we make some food ourselves and take it with us on the road? It's clean, hygienic and economical. Isn't that great?"

Hearing the two elders' words, Min Sanxing hurriedly persuaded them again, "Grandpa, Grandma, you two don't know that our princess is extremely wealthy! She has long since instructed us to ensure that Grandpa and Grandma have a good meal, have fun, and stay comfortably during their trip. We absolutely cannot skimp on even this little bit of money!"

In this way, they followed Min Sanxing to the capital.

The capital city is truly prosperous and breathtakingly beautiful! The bustling streets, the rows of shops, and the bustling crowds are all dazzling.

The scene was much more colorful than anything the old couple had ever seen in their lives.

They happily followed Min Sanxing to a tall mansion.

"Grandpa, Madam, this is the Duke of Pu's Mansion, the residence of our great-aunt.

The princess heard that there seems to be some misunderstanding between you two elders and my aunt.

The princess specifically instructed me that as long as the old master and the old lady could properly resolve this misunderstanding, she would have me come and welcome them back home for a reunion."

Hearing this, the old couple looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: they only knew what "aunt" meant, but had no idea that there was such a powerful aunt in their family.

Moreover, where did the so-called misunderstanding come from?

They really couldn't understand how a pair of honest country people could have any misunderstanding with anyone else?

So, Father Song quickly said, "Butler Min, we really don't recognize the aunt you are talking about."

Min San smiled slightly upon hearing this and responded, "Old Master, you are joking! How can a father not recognize his own daughter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the vermilion door of the Duke of Puguo's Mansion.

There was a crisp knock on the door, and soon the door slowly opened and a servant came out.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Min San, the old couple walked into the mysterious and solemn Puguo Mansion with a nervous mood.
