Mid-Autumn Festival

  Mu Xiaoqiao brought the things that the emperor rewarded to Song Yishan and came to the mansion in person. Afterwards, Song Yuan and Mu Xiaoqiao went together to visit Song Yishan and handed over the key to the armory of the Song Mansion for him to keep. These matters soon reached the ears of the madam, and when she heard them, she simply couldn't believe it.

  How is this possible? Entrusting such an important matter to a bastard son for management.

  Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was right in front of him and he couldn't help but acknowledge it. The madam sat on the stool, fuming with anger, and said to Zhao's mother: "Zhao's mother, do you think Master is crazy? How can this kind of place be handed over to a concubine-born child to manage?"

  Mrs. Zhao stood by in general and didn't dare to speak, she didn't dare ask much about her master's affairs.

  Madam looked at Zhao's mother and asked: "Zhao's mother, what do you think we should do?"

  "Th...th..." Mrs. Zhao stuttered and couldn't get the words out.

  But Mrs. Zhao's silence made the madam even angrier. The madam slammed her hand on the table and said, "Are you mute? I'm asking you a question!"

  Madam Zhao immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Milady, please calm your anger. Between us servants, it should be let the second young master lose the old master's trust. This way, there will only be one male heir in the house, and everything in the mansion will naturally be handed over to the eldest young master."

  After hearing what Madam Zhao said, the lady nodded: "Right, you're right. So be it, everything in this household must belong to Cheng Jin!"

  Song Lingyu nodded after hearing the news, it seemed that Mu Xiao had succeeded. So from now on, if she walked with him, there shouldn't be any rumors.

  What's worrying now is another matter, Song Yishan received the emperor's reward and also got the key to the armory from Song Yuan. Such heavy rewards, as a concubine's son rather than the eldest son, how can the madam swallow this?

  It won't be long before Madam will make her move.

  Although Song Yishan is a bastard, he can still be considered a good son of the Song family. Such a person may become the pillar of the house in the future. If Madame wants to harm him, Song Yuan will not turn a blind eye again, although she will also indulge in favoritism, but if she adds fuel to the fire at that time, Madame will be really finished.

  On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, however, Madame Song still made no move. Song Lingyu and Song Yuan said that today was Mid-Autumn, perhaps the people of Minxi Country would take advantage of the chaos to appear, so she wanted to go out as bait.

  Song Yuan didn't say anything else, just said a sentence "be careful" and let Song Lingyu go.

  Song Lingyu nodded and walked alone towards the entrance of Song Mansion. Mu Xiaoqiao was already waiting, and after getting on the carriage together, they got off at Wangyuelou.

  During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets were filled with people coming and going, and vendors also took advantage of this day to sell more things and earn more money.

  The street vendors sell all sorts of things, making it hard for passersby to take it all in. Everyone's face is beaming with smiles as they walk together in groups.

  Song Lingyu came in front of a small vendor selling flower lanterns and bought two lotus-shaped water lanterns.

  Two people came to the river where water lanterns were placed, and there were already people there. Everyone conveyed their thoughts through the water lanterns to faraway places. The water lanterns slowly floated forward along the river, as if they were really conveying thoughts.

  The water lanterns on the river were shining brightly and dimly, looking very beautiful. Song Lingyu lit up all the water lanterns one by one, then handed them to Mu Xiaojuan: "Tell your innermost thoughts to the water lanterns, they will help you convey them to the person you want to tell."
