The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

"Go on," Lady Ding'an said, looking at Song Siyao and listening attentively.

“Now that Hongshao can walk slowly, you need someone by your side. I’ve brought Yuxiang to you so she can take care of you.”

Song Siyao looked at Yu Xiang, "Yu Xiang, come here."

“Miss.” Yu Xiang walked to Song Siyao’s side, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Song Siyao handed the small box to Yu Xiang, "This is a gift for you. Thank you for taking care of me and keeping me company during this time."

Yu Xiang was unaware that Song Siyao had prepared a gift for her, and she quickly declined, saying, "Miss, I cannot accept it. I was only doing my duty."

“Take it, this is what you deserve,” Song Siyao said.

"If Miss tells you to take it, then take it," said Lady Ding'an.

“Yes, Madam,” Yu Xiang said to Song Siyao. “Thank you, Miss.”

It feels so good to be valued and respected.

“Aunt, there are some medicinal herbs in this box, all of them are of excellent quality and will help with your illness. You must be bored at home, so I brought you some toys and some jewelry.”

As Song Siyao spoke, Yu Xiang had already opened the box. She continued, "Thank you for taking care of me, Aunt."

"Very well, I accept Yaoyao's filial piety." Lady Ding'an's eyes instantly reddened.

If her good friend Qi Wan were still alive, how happy Qi Wan would be to have such a filial daughter.

"Yu Xiang, would you like to continue staying by Miss's side?" asked Lady Ding'an.

"Aunt, Yu Xiang, she..."

"Yaoyao, wait a moment, let's hear what Yuxiang has to say," said Lady Ding'an.

Song Siyao looked at Yu Xiang, who explained, "Miss, when Madam sent me to your side, she had already given me my indenture, saying that if I wanted to stay by your side, I could stay, and if I didn't want to, I could go wherever I wanted. I am a free person."

After Yu Xiang finished speaking, she looked at Lady Ding'an and said, "Madam, this servant is willing to continue to stay by Miss's side."

"Alright, from now on, Miss is your mistress. You must be loyal to her, take care of her, and put her first in everything. Treat Miss the way you treated me before," Lady Ding'an instructed.

"Yes, Madam. I will no longer be able to serve you. Please take care of yourself." Yu Xiang said, tears welling in her eyes.

Lady Ding'an nodded, "With you by Miss's side, I feel at ease."

Song Siyao was deeply moved as she watched the conversation between Lady Ding'an and Yu Xiang.

In fact, Lady Ding'an had planned from the beginning to have Yu Xiang follow her completely, otherwise she would not have sold her a contract of indenture.

If Yu Xiang's indenture is still in the hands of Lady Ding'an, then if Yu Xiang wants to follow her, it would be tantamount to betraying Lady Ding'an, which would be bad for Yu Xiang's reputation.

Lady Ding'an is truly thoughtful and kind; she not only considered Song Siyao's needs but also those of Yu Xiang.

"Aunt, don't worry, Yu Xiang will stay with me, I won't let her suffer any injustice."

Lady Ding'an nodded with a smile, and they talked for a while longer before she invited Song Siyao and Yu Xiang to stay for dinner.

After the meal, Song Siyao said goodbye to Lady Ding'an, then said to Yu Xiang, "I'll wait for you outside." Then she went out the door.

She gave Yu Xiang time to say goodbye to Lady Ding'an.

Yu Xiang knelt before Lady Ding'an, "Madam, this servant is leaving now. Please take care."

She kowtowed three times to Lady Ding'an to thank her for her kindness.

"Get up quickly. Miss is a capable person. You will have a bright future if you follow her. I am old and can't give you anything anymore."

Lady Ding'an helped Yu Xiang up, saying, "Miss is like my own daughter; I'm entrusting her to you."

"Please rest assured, Madam, I will definitely protect Miss," Yu Xiang assured her.

Lady Ding'an nodded, "Go."

Yu Xiang bid farewell to Lady Ding'an and went out to get into the carriage with Song Siyao.

Only after the carriage disappeared from sight did Lady Ding'an turn and leave.

She went into the room, took out a handkerchief from her dressing box, and stroked it, her eyes brimming with tears.

Seeing these objects evokes memories of her, and I find myself rambling on and on, as if an old friend were still alive, and I were sitting face-to-face with her, chatting.

“Wanwan, Yaoyao has grown up.”

"She even brought me a gift today. I'm so happy. You would be happy too if you were here."

“Wanwan, Yaoyao is too smart. So much has happened lately. I wonder if she will start to doubt her own origins…”

……

While Lady Ding'an was talking to herself, Song Siyao and Yu Xiang were also chatting idly.

Suddenly, a loud crash came from outside, and then the carriage came to a stop.

At the same time, two voices, one old and one young, rang out from outside.

"Ouch, my leg! You've hit someone!"

"Grandpa, Grandpa, you can't die! You can't leave Xiaobao behind!"

Yu Xiang looked at Song Siyao and said, "Miss, I'll go down and take a look."

"Let's get off together." After saying that, Song Siyao got off the carriage first. She saw an elderly man in his seventies lying on the ground in front of the carriage, and a little boy of five or six years old next to him.

"Miss, it's not my fault, they ran into us on their own." The coachman looked flustered.

Song Siyao ignored the driver and went straight to the old man. "Grandpa, where were you hurt? I'll take you to see a doctor."

"My leg is broken, it hurts so much! Everyone come quick, someone has been hit and killed!" The old man's loud voice instantly attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"Grandma, let me take you to see a doctor first. If it really is our responsibility, I will take full responsibility." The reason Song Siyao didn't say that she was the doctor was because it was her driver who hit the person, and she wanted to avoid suspicion. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to examine the old woman.

"What do you mean by 'if it really is your responsibility'? I'm so old and I still have to raise my grandson. Do you think I didn't want to live and deliberately ran into you?"

The old man accused Song Siyao, "You're supposed to be a rich girl, how can you be so heartless in your words and actions?"

Song Siyao straightened up, the gentleness on her face completely gone, and coldly asked the old woman, "What do you want? Just say it!"

"What do you want? Do you think I'm here to extort you?" the old man said angrily. "I'm going to report this to the authorities! I want the government to give me justice!"

Just then, a voice came from afar.

"Make way! Patrol!"

"Pedestrians should walk on both sides of the road, not stand in the middle!"

Song Siyao recognized the voice; it was Meng Zhanting.
