"At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, His Majesty will issue an edict to appoint the heir apparent, and your appointment will also be announced. At that time, everything will be clear."
Song Yu responded.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Jiang Wan looked up and scrutinized his expression.
"The General's Mansion has a formal ceremony for bestowing the title of heir, and a family banquet will also be held. This is a major event in your life. I will leave a few invitations for you to invite your relatives to attend."
In her past life, she vaguely heard Zhou mention that Song Yu was a relative from a collateral branch of the Song family.
In terms of kinship, one has to trace back to General Song, which is several layers of kinship. If you were to suddenly visit someone's door, you would be seen as someone trying to freeload.
In the past, they would never have been invited to the general's family banquets.
Furthermore, if a child like Song Yu, who has been adopted, has too close a relationship with his relatives, others will inevitably suspect that he is not being properly cared for and harbors ulterior motives.
For many years, Song Yu never mentioned his relatives.
Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, he was momentarily stunned.
“You have achieved great things at a young age and are about to be promoted to an official position. You are already capable of repaying the kindness of your parents.”
Jiang Wan looked at him with a smile.
“It is natural for children to be affectionate towards their parents. Going against this would be against the natural order. I will not object to you being close to your biological parents. They would be very happy to see you as you are now.”
Song Yu's throat moved.
Jiang Wan was willing to do these things because she understood his feelings, and he naturally understood this reasoning.
He lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then answered.
"Thank you for your concern, Mother. However, my father passed away when I was young, and my mother remarried to a cousin on the other side of the family. We haven't been in contact for many years, so I think it's unnecessary to send her an invitation."
"I have other matters to attend to at the camp, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Wan frowned.
When Song Yu was sent to the General's Mansion, she was already old enough to remember things. Children of that age are usually very attached to their mothers.
However, when the topic of his birth mother came up, he seemed to avoid the subject altogether.
Something must have happened.
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and then instructed Biluo, "Have Shixu investigate Yu'er's mother."
She had no interest in other people's family affairs, but Song Yu was destined to inherit the General's Mansion's assets and lead an army.
She didn't want any potential threats to him.
