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

After Song Siyao and the Song family separated, she didn't keep any of the original servants in the mansion, and transferred all the people needed in the mansion from Tianji Pavilion.

Cang Yue stayed behind and became her first bodyguard.

From the outside, the Zhenbei Marquis's residence doesn't look any different, but once you step inside, you can feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

With a stable and secure home life, Song Siyao focused all her attention on her career.

Since her identity as a ghost doctor was exposed, she has been busy every day.

People come to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence every day seeking her medical advice.

She didn't want to turn her home into a clinic, so she announced that she would hold a clinic at Yi Tianxia every five days. She would see patients with difficult and complicated diseases, but she could also handle common illnesses.

She used to be the one supporting the businesses under Tianji Pavilion. She disappeared for two years, and no new products were introduced in any of the shops. Although the business was still booming, it did not make any progress.

Therefore, Song Siyao's first step in acquiring the assets under her name was to launch new products.

Wujiangdu launched five new dishes. On that day, Wujiangdu was open from dawn until late at night. The lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor were packed. The queue at the door was as long as sixty feet. This great success lasted for ten days.

During this time, Shen Pei also invited Song Siyao to have dinner at Wujiang Ferry, but Song Siyao declined, saying she was busy making money and didn't have time.

Finally, Shen Pei instructed Wei Xin to go to Wujiang Ferry to pack food to bring to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence for consumption.

Song Siyao felt a mix of emotions as they praised her new dish as a delicacy right in front of her.

I wonder what Shen Pei's expression will be, and what he will think, when he finds out that she was the one who prepared these dishes.

Yu Loujun has released two types of rouge and face powder. Rouge and face powder take a long time to produce, and now, the pre-sale period for these two types of rouge and face powder has already reached six months.

……

Song Siyao was busy treating Shen Pei's leg, researching new products, and overseeing the shop's renovation every day.

Time flies, and it's already July 20th.

Her shop was finally completed, and it turned out exactly as she wanted.

"Miss, you previously wanted to open a cosmetics shop, but now that you have Yuloujun, what are you planning to do with this shop?" Yuxiang asked.

“Food and drink,” Song Siyao said.

"A restaurant? Don't you already own Wujiang Ferry?" Yu Xiang asked, puzzled.

This shop is too small; it's not suitable even if we want to open a branch.

"It's not a restaurant. I've already thought of a name: Iceland Time." Song Siyao looked around, already picturing the magnificent scene in her mind.

"Miss, is this a place that sells ice and helps you pass the time?" Yu Xiang asked earnestly.

Song Siyao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "What you said is pretty much right."

She pointed to the wall behind her, "I will personally write something here: 'I' can be both cold and warm, filling your time with sweetness.'"

Before she could finish speaking, Hongshao came in from the doorway, shouting, "Miss, something terrible has happened! You should go back to the manor immediately!"

"What happened?" Song Siyao asked, puzzled.

Hong Shao replied, "Someone has come to propose marriage!"

"Hongshao, isn't it a good thing that someone has come to propose marriage? Why are you so flustered?" Yuxiang asked with a smile.

"The person who came to propose marriage this time is no good; he was previously taken advantage of by a young lady..."

Hong Shao paused for a moment, then continued, "He was beaten up by Miss's brother, Young Master Si Yan, before."

"Why don't you just refuse for me? Why bother making the trip?"

After Emperor Changlong issued that imperial edict, the gates of the Zhenbei Marquis's residence were almost broken down in the beginning.

Every time someone came to propose marriage, they were rejected. They couldn't even get a glimpse of Song Siyao. As time went on, these people realized there was no hope and stopped proposing.

Unexpectedly, after some time, someone came to the door again.

“Miss, I’ve already refused, but it’s no use. They won’t leave, and I can’t just let Ping An chase them away.” Hong Shao looked troubled.

"Who is it that proposed this time?" Song Siyao asked.

"It's Huo Ye, the young master of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. The Duchess brought him here."

Song Siyao knew about the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. When the Duke of Dingguo died on the battlefield, his wife was pregnant, and their unborn child was Huo Ye.

Unfortunately, Huo Ye's personality and features were most similar to those of the Duke of Dingguo after he was born. As a result, he was spoiled from a young age, had a wild nature, was arrogant and extravagant, and was ignorant and incompetent. He was the representative of a spoiled young master from a noble family.

Remembering the contributions that Duke Dingguo made to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Changlong also favored Huo Ye.

No wonder Hongshao came to tell her personally that it was indeed difficult to refuse this marriage proposal.

At the very least, Hong Shao's intervention couldn't appease them; she had to resolve the issue herself.

"Let's go back home."

As soon as Song Siyao arrived home, she entered the front hall and saw a young man dressed in red.

The boy had stunningly beautiful features and exuded a heroic spirit.

He had a blade of grass in his mouth, sat crookedly, and dangled one leg over the other.

He looked at people askance, was unruly and arrogant.

This must be Huo Ye, the troublemaker.

Sitting next to Huo Ye was a woman, exuding nobility, elegance, and kindness.

Song Siyao took small, delicate steps and slowly walked to the Lady of Dingguo. She bowed gently and sweetly, her voice so sweet it could melt your heart.

"Madam of the Duke of Dingguo, you have been waiting for a long time."

Song Siyao held a handkerchief in her hand. After performing the curtsy, she deliberately covered herself with the handkerchief and then secretly glanced at Huo Ye.

With her series of actions, she perfectly demonstrated what it means to be affected and pretentious.

Yu Xiang and Hong Shao exchanged a glance. Thank goodness, this wasn't their real young lady.

Lady Dingguo looked at Song Siyao with surprise. How could Song Siyao be so different from what she had imagined?

This delicate Song Siyao is not what she wants.

However, since we're already here, we should still observe the proper etiquette.

"It's alright." The Duchess of Dingguo's expression was gentle. She looked at Huo Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, come and greet your sister Si Yao."

Huo Ye looked disgusted and involuntarily moved his body away.

"Mother, aren't I your youngest son? Where did this sister come from?"

"You...you brat! You're going to drive me crazy!" said the Duchess of Dingguo angrily.

"Madam, please don't be angry. This is the first time Brother Huo Ye and I have met. He may be a little shy."

After finishing her sentence, Song Siyao turned to Huo Ye and bowed sweetly, "Siyao greets Brother Huo Ye."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ye couldn't help but shrink back, and goosebumps immediately rose all over his body.

"Mother, I really can't stay here a moment longer, I'm leaving now."

Song Siyao deliberately used a handkerchief to partially cover herself up, so Huo Ye came over but didn't even get a chance to see what she looked like before he ran away.

"Ono! You brat!"

The Duchess of Dingguo cursed, feeling truly apologetic for Huo Ye's rudeness. She quickly apologized to Song Siyao, "Miss Song, I'm sorry, I've spoiled Xiao Ye. Please don't take it to heart."

"I won't mind." Song Siyao sat next to the Duchess of Dingguo, her face blank.

When the Duchess of Dingguo saw her like this, she was truly disappointed.

After all, she only came to propose marriage after hearing that Song Siyao had dealt with the Song family.

She wanted a daughter-in-law who was resourceful, ruthless, and dashing.

Only a woman like this could tame her son.

"Miss Song, I'm so sorry to have bothered you today. I just remembered I have something to attend to at the manor, so I'll have to leave now," said the Duchess of Dingguo, offering an excuse.

"Please take care, Madam. I'll see you off with a smile." Song Siyao smiled slightly.

"Please don't bother seeing me off." The Duchess of Dingguo walked away very quickly.

After she disappeared, Song Siyao handed the handkerchief in her hand to Yu Xiang, saying, "Here, take it back."
