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

Those around them were quite surprised to see Yan Wei being so respectful to Song Siyao.

However, due to Yan Wei's imposing presence, they dared not ask any further questions.

After registering, Song Siyao left without lingering and went off with Jiang Hexia.

"Sister Song, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to come visit you at your residence," Jiang Hexia asked.

Since Song Siyan joined the army, she has never been to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence again.

Five or six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

“Sure, I’m free,” Song Siyao replied.

"Then it's settled. I'll come tomorrow. See you there!" Jiang Hexia was somewhat expectant, wondering if the Zhenbei Marquis's residence would still look the same as it did when she played there back then.

After parting ways with Jiang Hexia, Song Siyao returned to the mansion, whereupon the old lady's maidservant came over.

"Second Miss, the Old Madam wishes to see you."

Song Siyao has been back at the mansion for some time now, and every time the old lady sees her, she does so to avenge Song Yu'er; it's likely this time will be no exception.

Yesterday, Song Yu'er was bitten by Da Huang in her yard.

So, without even thinking, she refused, saying, "I'm busy."

The maidservant couldn't persuade Song Siyao to go, so she went back and reported Song Siyao's words to the old lady with exaggerated embellishments.

"Madam, the second young lady said she is busy, needs to rest, and doesn't want to come."

"What?" The old lady was even angrier when she heard that Song Siyao was unwilling to come over, as she realized that Song Siyao really wanted to teach her a lesson.

"Since she's not coming, then this old man will go see her!"

Supported by her maid, the old lady, leaning on her cane, walked unsteadily for quite a while before finally arriving at Song Siyao's courtyard.

"Miss, the Old Madam has arrived!"

Song Siyao was drawing up the shop's renovation plans when she heard this. She frowned and said calmly, "Let her wait!"

"Song Siyao, who are you making wait?" The old lady was furious and rushed in without waiting for Yu Xiang's help.

"Didn't you already hear that?" Song Siyao retorted. She came out of the house with such a strong aura that the old lady quickly stepped aside.

Because she moved too fast, the old lady stumbled and had to hold onto the wall to keep her balance.

"Song Siyao, do you even see me as your grandmother anymore?" the old lady asked, stamping her cane angrily.

"No." Song Siyao sat down and leisurely took a sip of tea, without even lifting her eyelids.

"You...!" The old lady, supported by her maid's arm and carrying her cane, rushed quickly to Song Siyao, raising her cane to strike her, shouting, "Today I'll teach you what respect for elders means on behalf of your long-deceased parents!"

However, Song Siyao grabbed her cane while it was still in mid-air.

With a slight effort, Song Siyao dragged the cane over, then with a flick of her wrists, the cane snapped in two with a loud crack.

She stared intently at the old lady, her gaze like that of a demon from hell.

The old lady felt a chill run down her spine. She hadn't expected Song Siyao to be so strong, managing to snap her cane in two with her bare hands.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she retreated repeatedly.

"You want to teach me? You're not worthy! You're disrespectful to your elders!" Song Siyao said. "If you had behaved yourself, I would have allowed you to wait to die in the mansion. But since you've gone too far, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Song Siyao, what are you trying to do? I've only come to ask you why you let the dogs bite your third sister. You don't want to see me, so I'll come to see you. What else do you want?" the old lady questioned angrily.

"Why don't you ask your dear granddaughter why I only let the dogs bite her and not others? For example, right now, I haven't let the dogs bite you." Song Siyao's tone was icy and indifferent.

The old lady was speechless for a long while before finally speaking, "Fine, fine, you're so sharp-tongued, I can't argue with you. Song Siyao, if you really don't like us, you can move out, no one will stop you."

Song Siyao sneered, "This is the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence, not the Song Vice Minister's residence. You are the ones who should move out!"

The old lady gritted her teeth in hatred, her cloudy eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

Song Siyao's words were like killing someone's heart.

Her own son was incompetent and could only serve as a vice minister.

Song Changfeng was capable and became the Marquis of Zhenbei, but unfortunately he was not her biological son.

She lived in the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, but it felt like she was living under someone else's roof.

In fact, everyone knew these things, but no one had ever brought them to light. Song Siyao was the first person to stab her in the heart with a knife.

"Qi Wan, Song Changfeng, you two have truly raised a wonderful daughter!"

The old lady's voice was full of sarcasm. She glanced at Song Siyao, and a cold, sinister light flashed in her deep-set eyes.

Then, without saying anything more, he turned and left Song Siyao's courtyard.

Song Siyao didn't take today's events to heart at all; she went inside and continued drawing blueprints.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Song Siyao was instructing Yu Xiang to hire craftsmen. Her blueprints were already finished, and the business could open as soon as the craftsmen completed the renovations. Of course, the sooner the better when it comes to making money.

Just then, the okra arrived.

"Second Miss, the old lady asked me to inform you that everyone will be having lunch together today."

"What day is it today?" Song Siyao asked.

“This is a tradition passed down from our ancestors. Every year on this day, the masters would eat together, then pay homage to their ancestors and ask them to bless the whole family with peace and safety,” Okra explained.

"Hongshao, is there such a rule?" Song Siyao asked Hongshao, who was practicing walking nearby.

“Yes, it did exist before, Miss,” Hong Shao replied, stamping her foot.

Song Siyao agreed, "I'll be there in a bit."

After leaving Song Siyao's courtyard, Qiu Kui smirked and went to Old Madam Song's courtyard. She leaned close to her ear and said, "Old Madam, the Second Miss has agreed to come and have dinner together."

"Alright, give the order, do as I say." A cunning glint appeared in Old Madam Song's eyes as she silently thought, "Qi Wan, you lost to me, and your daughter lost to me too. The Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion that you worked so hard to build will eventually be mine!"

Noon.

Song Siyao took Yu Xiang to the front hall for dinner.

At this moment, the old lady, Madam Song, Song Yu'er, Song Wenwu, and Minister Song were already seated at the table.

They reserved a spot for Song Siyao, next to the old lady.

Song Siyao sat down gracefully.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's start eating," said Minister Song.

Silence fell over the room.

"Mother, this is your favorite fish soup, please try it." Old Madam Song suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
