Qu Chengmei picked up Song Xian at the government office and explained what Song Qizheng had asked on the way to the second hall.
In Qu Chengmei's eyes, the National Guardian General's attitude toward his eldest son had softened a lot. Although it was still far from the usual father-son affection, it was also not as confrontational as before.
The National Guardian General had seen the situations in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou. As long as there were no major natural disasters this year, the people could eat their fill, taxes could be paid on time, and some grain and fodder could be stored for the camps.
The legitimate eldest son being as he was, no matter how Song Qizheng thought about it, he added glory to the National Guardian General Mansion. In other words, without Song Xian, Song Qizheng's family would have long fallen to the Liao people and the Henghai Jiedu Envoy.
