Song Ci looked happily toward the doorway, and sure enough she saw Song Zhiyu walking in with his son in his arms, with Niu Pan'er following right behind him. Her smile grew even brighter.
Niu Pan'er had been busy in the barracks and hadn't shown her face for quite a while. Now that the family of three had come back to the mansion, Song Ci was naturally delighted.
Only, did the young couple have a quarrel? Their expressions didn't look quite right.
Song Ci kept her face calm, smiling as she beckoned them over. "How come you suddenly have time to come home today?"
"Mother." Niu Pan'er gave Song Ci a respectful curtsey and replied with a smile, "I've had a few days' leave, and I realized it's been a long time since I came to pay my respects to you, so we thought we'd come stay in the mansion for a few days and keep you company."
Song Zhiyu gave a cold snort.
