Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Although Song Jing didn't have much contact with Yin Yichen on weekdays, he still shamelessly brought a few supplements and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He thought all the way that Yin Yichen had always been impartial and fair, and he didn't know if he would be turned away because of his reckless behavior.

But Song Jing couldn't care less now. He had a bad feeling in his heart and had to go to the door to find out the truth.

The servant at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw someone coming and came closer to Song Jing and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Song Jing's eyes revealed a tentative look, and he asked in a low voice, "I am Song Jing, a colleague of the Prime Minister. I heard that the Prime Minister was ill, so I came to take care of him. I just wonder if the Prime Minister is at home?"

When the gatekeeper saw that the visitor was Song Jing, he hurriedly welcomed him into the Prime Minister's residence and said to him with a smile, "It turns out to be General Song Jing. General, please come in. The Prime Minister is now recuperating in the residence."

After hearing this, Song Jing nodded in understanding.

The servant stood beside Song Jin and continued to flatter him, "General Song is so righteous that he is willing to come to visit. In the past, when the Prime Minister was sick and took leave, no one took care of him. General Song is the first one who still cares about the Prime Minister so much. If the Prime Minister knew about this, he would definitely be very happy."

Song Jing felt his face flushed when he heard this. He didn't come here to take care of Yin Yichen, he just wanted to confirm whether Yin Yichen was really sick or faking it. Don't let Yin Yichen, who has all-powerful hands and eyes, know about Song Wanning's visit to Putuo Temple and let Yin Yichen escape.

Although Song Jing thought so, he still said to the gatekeeper, "Prime Minister Yin has devoted himself to the court. Since the Prime Minister is ill, it is my duty to come and see him."

"General, this way please."

The gatekeeper led Song Jing into the courtyard and sighed, "General, you should know that when Prime Minister Yin was a child, his master and his wife both passed away. Since he came of age, the Prime Minister has not interacted much with the relatives of the master's family. Now such a big house is deserted. If the general hadn't come, it would be hard for the Prime Minister to be alone in his illness without anyone to take care of him."

Song Jing also knew a thing or two about Yin Yichen's family. He was not in a position to judge. He thought to himself that if Yin Yichen had not insisted on marrying Song Wanning, he would have admired this young talent who had become a prime minister in his twenties. Yin Yichen's growth was not easy.

Song Jing had mixed feelings as he followed the servant to the main courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He saw that the furnishings inside were all elegant and unique, much more delicate than those in the General's Mansion.

Song Jing was arranged by the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion to sit on a chair in the main hall. The maid poured a cup of tea for Song Jing, "It's rare for General Song to come here. I often hear the Prime Minister talk about the general's righteousness. The Prime Minister also said that if the general comes, he must choose the best tea in the Prime Minister's Mansion to serve. Now this tea is Guzhu Zisun, a reward from the palace. Please taste it and see if it suits your taste."

Song Jing felt a little ashamed after hearing what the maid said. He had lived half his life, and Yin Yichen was only about 20 years old, the same age as Song Lan. To exaggerate, he could be considered his son. But he treated this young man with a very bad attitude. Now he felt a little ashamed of himself.

Although Song Jing thought so in his heart, he did not forget the purpose of his visit. He looked at the little maid and asked in a low voice, "Where is Prime Minister Yin? Is he sick and unable to get up? If so, it would be convenient for me to go and talk to the Prime Minister and then leave."

"The Prime Minister has caught a cold, but I have already asked someone to go and invite him." The maid bowed to Song Jing and said with a smile, "The general is coming to the mansion, how can the Prime Minister not come to see him in person? Please wait a moment, the Prime Minister will be here soon."

Song Jing finally felt relieved. He nodded and drank the tea brought by the maid. It tasted really good. The various utensils in the Prime Minister's Mansion were excellent, which showed that Yin Yichen's family was very wealthy.

After a while, the sick Prime Minister Yin Yichen came out, with only a guard by his side to support him at all times. Yin Yichen's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he kept coughing, which showed that he was really ill.

With the help of the guards, Yin Yichen finally came to Song Jing. He forced a smile and bowed to Song Jing, saying, "General, you are so righteous. I used to speak out in front of you, but you forgot the past and came to see me when I was sick. I am really grateful to you."

Seeing Yin Yichen like this, Song Jing swallowed back all the words he had prepared to criticize him. Song Jing felt bad in his heart and just watched Yin Yichen go along with it. "I am also in my forties now, more than twice the age of the Prime Minister. I naturally won't take such a small matter to heart. Now that the Prime Minister is ill, he should take good care of himself and return to the court as soon as possible. The Prime Minister is now the backbone of the court, and he must take good care of himself."

"The general is full of praise."

"Knowing that the Prime Minister is ill, I brought some supplements to nourish your body." Song Jing said, glancing at the entourage behind him.

Seeing this, the follower placed the things in his hand on the table next to Yin Yichen.

"Thank you for your concern, General." Yin Yichen said, coughing violently again, and forced a smile, "The ancients said that illness goes away like pulling out a thread, which is really true. I really don't have the energy to talk to you now. I just hope to go back to the bedroom, take some medicine, and sweat it out, so that I can get better soon."

When Song Jing heard Yin Yichen say this, he stood up quickly and looked at Yin Yichen and said, "In that case, Prime Minister, please go down and have a rest quickly. Don't get caught in the cold wind. I will leave first, and I hope that Prime Minister will get better soon."

Yin Yichen also stood up and looked at Song Jing apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, General. There are so many officials in the court now, but you are the only one who came to visit. I regret that I can't chat with you more."

Song Jing exchanged a few more words with Yin Yichen before leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yin Yichen half leaned against the chair and waited until Song Jing left the door. The sick look on his face gradually dissipated, revealing a face that looked very healthy.

Yin Yichen turned around and looked at the servant and maid who had just welcomed Song Jing in, and clapped his hands and said, "Well done."

The maid bowed to Yin Yichen and responded, "I have done everything according to the Prime Minister's orders, so there should be no mistakes."

Yin Yichen glanced back at Fang Ren and said calmly, "Go and get my black suit. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. Pei Xuanzhi is not the only one who can do such a thing."

"Prime Minister, what do you want to do..." Fang Ren didn't understand what Yin Yichen meant for a moment.

Yin Yichen walked back in great spirits, and just waved to Fang Ren, saying calmly, "I'm going to Putuo Temple."
