"What is she doing here?" Song Siyao raised an eyebrow, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

"She didn't say anything, only that when you were at the General's Mansion, she had no grudges against you, and asked you to see her here," Yu Xiang said.

Hong Shao reminded her, "Miss, Madam Meng the Third isn't a bad person, she's just soft-hearted, and her family background isn't strong, so she's completely controlled by Madam Meng the Second."

“Then she probably had no choice but to come to me today.” Song Siyao looked at Yu Xiang. “Tell her to wait for me in the front hall.”

"Yes, ma'am."

When Song Siyao arrived at the front hall, she saw that Luo's eyes were red and swollen, and knew that she must have cried a lot just now.

"Miss Song, it's been a long time." Madam Luo stood up, her tone polite, and she forced a smile.

She looked Song Siyao up and down. In the ten days since she last saw her, Song Siyao seemed to have become a different person, cold as ice and snow, yet radiant with light.

Noble, elegant, stunningly beautiful...

These words all seemed particularly vulgar when applied to Song Siyao. Luo suddenly realized that she hadn't read enough and couldn't find suitable words to describe Song Siyao's beauty.

She lamented in her heart that Meng Zhanting was blind, and at the same time she was secretly saddened. If one day she was forced to leave the General's Mansion, could she live as brightly as Song Siyao at this moment?

"What brings you here today, Third Madam?" Song Siyao went straight to the point.

Upon hearing the unfamiliar title "Third Madam," Madam Luo recalled how Song Siyao used to sweetly call her "Third Sister-in-law" when she was mentally impaired. It turned out that they were no longer a family.

"Miss Song, my mother is seriously ill and has been in a coma. Please save her."

"Third Madam, we need to go to the clinic to fetch a doctor to save the person." Song Siyao knew without asking that the "mother" Luo Shi was referring to was the Second Madam Meng.

"The doctors of Yitianxia do not make house calls for the General's Mansion. Miss Song, I was forced to come to you. I never made things difficult for you during your time at the General's Mansion. Could you please go and tell the doctors of Yitianxia to come and see my mother?"

Luo looked at Song Siyao with pleading eyes. If she couldn't get the doctor back this time, her days in the general's mansion would be even more difficult.

"No." Song Siyao refused Luo Shi with certainty.

Ms. Luo stood there motionless, unsure of what to do.

“Third Madam, it has nothing to do with me whether the doctor goes to the General’s Mansion for house calls. I am not familiar with them, they do not obey my orders, and I have no relationship with the General’s Mansion now. It is impossible for me to ask them to make house calls for the sake of the General’s Mansion.”

Song Siyao's attitude was resolute, and Luo Shi knelt down with a thud. "Second Miss Song, please, if you don't help me, Third Master will definitely divorce me. My child can't be without a mother, and I have nowhere to go if I leave the General's Mansion..."

"Is Third Madam trying to morally blackmail me?" Song Siyao interrupted Madam Luo.

Madam Luo cried out in distress, "I'm so sorry, Second Miss, I..."

"Third Madam, you should go back." Song Siyao didn't want to hear Luo Shi's complaints. "Don't come looking for me again. The life and death of the General's Mansion is none of my business."

Luo stopped crying, thinking of the days Song Siyao had spent in the General's Mansion. This time, it was already quite polite that Song Siyao hadn't kicked her out directly.

Although she didn't do those things herself, she was still a member of the General's Mansion.

"I'm sorry, Miss Song, for causing you trouble."

Song Siyao thought that even if she completely rejected Luo Shi, it wouldn't be a solution. Besides Luo Shi, there were other people in the General's Mansion who would keep coming to her because of Madam Meng's illness.

She wants to completely resolve this problem!

“Third Madam, whether or not we can invite a doctor is another matter. The most important thing is to let everyone see your filial piety,” Song Siyao reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Madam Luo was delighted. "Yes, but how can I let everyone see my filial piety? Please advise me, Miss Song."

“There is a temple in the city. I believe that if the Third Madam kneels and kowtows three times and prays sincerely, she will surely move the Bodhisattva to bless her,” Song Siyao said.

Looking at the blazing sun outside, Luo said, "But this weather..."

"Third Madam, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get something, you have to give something in return."

Song Siyao said, "Whether it's windy or rainy, sunny or snowy, the Third Madam must kneel down and persevere to show her sincerity."

Luo suddenly realized and smiled, "Miss Song is exceptionally intelligent, I admire her."

Her kneeling made her known for her filial piety.

Over the years, she had served Madam Meng at the General's Mansion, working tirelessly and without complaint, yet Madam Meng had never praised her to anyone.

She did so much, and it was bad enough that she was suppressed by Madam Meng Er in the mansion, but she didn't even earn a reputation for filial piety outside. It would be a lie to say that she had no resentment.

Kneeling at the temple shows that you have fulfilled your filial duty; as for the rest, leave it to fate.

"Third Madam, please." Song Siyao had no intention of keeping Madam Luo any longer.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Song." Madam Luo thanked Song Siyao and left the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

"Miss, do you think that if the Third Madam goes to the temple to kneel like this, the Second Madam Meng's illness will be cured?" Yu Xiang asked curiously.

"No." Song Siyao said firmly.

"Then what is the meaning of Miss making the Third Madam kneel down..." Yu Xiang knew that Song Siyao was not someone who would do good deeds casually; Song Siyao had her own purpose in doing things.

"I want the doctors who heal the world to show some respect. They refuse to make house calls for the General's Mansion and do not publicly explain why, which has led the people of the General's Mansion to misunderstand me and keep causing me trouble."

Song Siyao frowned slightly. "Yu Xiang, go and spread the word that the great doctor who can heal the world is not making house calls, and the Third Madam has nowhere else to turn but to pray to the gods and Buddhas."

Rumors are the most invisible sword.

When the common people hear about this, they will naturally criticize Yi Tianxia, ​​at which point Yi Tianxia will have no choice but to make a statement.

“Miss, you are currently treating the Prince’s leg. What if the General’s Mansion finds out that your medical skills are even better than those of the legendary physician Feng, yet you refuse to treat Madam Meng? What will happen then if they cause you trouble?” Yu Xiang asked worriedly.

The fact that Song Siyao treated Shen Pei's leg has not yet been made public. Apart from Emperor Changlong, only Shen Pei and Song Siyao's close relatives know about it.

“It is my freedom to treat whomever I choose to treat. Besides, they did not ask me to treat them, so why should I take the initiative to make house calls?” Song Siyao retorted.

Yu Xiang explained, "What you say makes sense, Miss. I'm worried they'll say that doctors are benevolent and then use that to blackmail you for your kindness."

"It's true that doctors have a benevolent heart, but I've never been a kind-hearted person. Madam Meng was the one who wanted me dead back then, how could I possibly save her?"

Song Siyao's eyes were icy cold. "I have a bottom line. Once you cross it, no matter if the other person is the King of Heaven, I will not help them!"
