94 Hyogo Key

  Then the two of them went together to Bai En Yuan in Song Yishan.

  At this time, the second aunt was feeding medicine to Song Yishan. Song Yishan frowned, took over the medicine bowl, and drank it in one gulp. The second aunt neatly picked up a sugar cube held by a maid and put it into Song Yishan's mouth: "You can drink slowly too."

  Song Yishan smiled and held the second aunt's hand, saying: "Auntie, it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The medicine may be bitter, but it will only take a moment, and isn't there still the sugar you prepared? I'm not suffering at all now."

  The second aunt smiled and patted Song Yishan's hand: "Silly child."

  When Song Yuanyi came in, he saw this deep mother-son scene. He coughed slightly to let them know someone had arrived.

  When the two heard the cough, they both turned their heads around. The second aunt saw that it was Song Yuan and immediately retreated to one side. Song Yishan saw Song Yuan wanting to get out of bed, but was stopped by Song Yuan: "Your body is not well yet, let's skip the formalities."

  Song Yishan lay obediently on the bed, and inadvertently saw Mu Xiaojuan behind Song Yuan. He asked in doubt: "General Mu, how did you come?"

  Mu Xiao stepped forward and said: "The Emperor rewarded some things, let me bring them over to you."

  In an instant, Song Yishan and Er Niang were both stunned. No one had expected that such a small matter could still reach the emperor's ears.

  Song Yuan looked at his illegitimate son Song Yishan, then glanced at the second concubine standing beside him. His heart was filled with mixed emotions. This second concubine was originally a maid by the old madam's side. The old madam, seeing that she only had one wife, allowed her to take the second concubine as a concubine. Over the past few years, the second concubine had been living quietly in the mansion. If it weren't for occasionally running into her within the mansion, he would have almost forgotten about the existence of this second concubine.

  The legitimate son Song Chengjin is not making any effort, he only knows how to go out and fool around all day. On the other hand, this illegitimate child Song Yishan is very promising, poetry, songs, and military strategies are all mastered, it's just a pity that she will always be just an illegitimate child.

  One day, one will grow old, and when that time comes, if everything at home is handed over to Song Chengjin, how can he be at ease? It's better to hand over some things to this illegitimate child. Although not the eldest son, it's inevitable that there will be some gossip, but it's also better than losing the whole family.

  With that in mind, Song Yuan beckoned to the butler to bring over the key to the armory. After the butler brought over the key, Song Yuan spoke up and said: "My Song family, although it's the residence of the Grand Councilor, my Song family is a founding contributor, we have our own armory where all sorts of weapons are stored. Today, I'm handing over the key to the armory to you, I hope you can take good care of it."

  As soon as this was said, not only Song Yishan, but also Mu Xiaoqiao was stunned. For a big family like the Songs, they generally attach great importance to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Today, such an important key was actually handed over to a bastard son, which is simply unimaginable.

  Song Yishan came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his wounds, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "Yishan will never disappoint Father's expectations!"

  Song Yuan nodded and helped Song Yishan get up: "Good, good! I hope you can live up to your words from now on and don't disappoint Father's expectations!" After finishing speaking, he deliberately glanced at the still stunned Second Aunt.

  The second aunt noticed Song Yuan looking at her and thought of what had just happened, smiling as she lowered her head.
