Si Yao heeded Madam Si's earnest advice and stopped dwelling on Yu Jinzhao's past. However, a hint of hesitation remained on her face. She swallowed hard and pondered.

"But Ah Qing doesn't like Miss Yu, their marriage will not be happy."

“Ah Qing has never liked women. With all his quirks, if it weren’t for this marriage, he would probably be childless.”

Madam Si deeply disliked her son, yet she was helpless; what could she do about it, being the unlucky woman to have such a son? She sighed softly.

"Speaking of which, it is a blessing for our Si family that Miss Yu is willing to marry him."

Si Yao's eyes darkened slightly, her thick, long eyelashes drooped gently, and her lips pursed slightly.

"Mom, as the saying goes, marrying a wife who is not virtuous will ruin three generations. Our Si family's large business will be managed by A-Qing in the future. A-Qing's wife is the future matriarch, and she must not have any problems. I was thinking, why don't we test her character?"

Madam Si's eyes flickered, and she stared intently at her daughter.

Si Yao hugged her mother's arm, her eyes softening slightly, and said in a coquettish tone,

"Mom, I understand what you said. You mean we need to get to know each other before making a judgment, and I understand that."

But now I have doubts about Miss Yu, how can I get along with her calmly?

Madam Si knew that her daughter wasn't being unreasonable or picking a fight with Miss Yu.

She knows the daughter she gave birth to.

Si Yao has a very strong sense of family and cares deeply about her family. She will not allow anyone to hurt her family.

She is currently prejudiced against Miss Yu and is unwilling to take the risk of accepting Miss Yu as her sister-in-law. If she does not comply with her wishes, her relationship with Miss Yu will become strained, affecting family harmony.

Madam Si raised her hand and gently tapped Si Yao's forehead, saying helplessly, "Fine, then let's test the waters tomorrow."

Madam Si actually had some subtle selfish motives. She hoped that this daughter-in-law would be of good character. If she was really immoral, she would definitely cancel the marriage.

Then she will try to match the fairy and her son together.

Madam Si preferred the fairy who saved her; she was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, and she was sure that even her heartless son would be moved back to the mortal world after seeing her.

If the fairy could become her daughter-in-law, she would be laughing in her dreams.

Outside the ward, An Ran stood at the end of the corridor, making no attempt to hide the viciousness on her face, and angrily yanked down a potted plant in front of her.

She was the real benefactor of Madam Si, but Madam Si foolishly believed in traditional Chinese medicine. If I had known, I would have kept my life and died!

And Si Yao, she calls her her best friend but doesn't speak up for her, she deserves to die too!

An Ran muttered curses and insults under her breath, her eyes dark and gloomy, appearing particularly ferocious and terrifying in the golden afterglow of the evening, startling Dr. Li who was walking over.

"Anran," Dr. Li called out, frowning.

An Ran paused, immediately concealing the venom in her eyes. Looking at Dr. Li, she resumed her gentle and ladylike demeanor, biting her lip and revealing a pitiful, aggrieved expression, "Teacher."

Dr. Li calmed down, thinking that he must have been distracted and misread the words. He then reassured Anran, "Anran, if you want to be a good doctor, remember not to be impetuous, otherwise you won't be able to make a living this way."

An Ran's eyes were red and filled with tears. "But teacher, I was the one who cured Madam Si. I could have made a name for myself with this case. I just can't swallow this insult."

Dr. Li's eyes showed a hint of sympathy. He reached out and patted An Ran's shoulder, offering earnest words of comfort.

“I know you’re upset, but you need to change your perspective. As doctors, isn’t our job to relieve patients from the torment of illness? So what if Mrs. Si is a believer in traditional Chinese medicine? She was cured by you. As long as she recovers, our work is a success. Why do we need to earn this honor?”

Anran obediently wiped away her tears, but in her heart she thought, "This old codger is talking without thinking. He is famous in the Western medicine industry, with honors and riches, yet he tells me to be indifferent to fame and fortune."

I'm not some living saint; I practice medicine to gain reputation, to make a name for myself, and to become a guest of honor in wealthy families.

An Ran was the first apprentice Dr. Li carefully selected. She had a high talent for medicine, was clever and quick-witted, and had a compassionate heart to heal the sick. He valued her highly and believed that she would definitely inherit his mantle in the future.

Therefore, he felt sorry for An Ran's lack of recognition for her abilities, and smiled gently and kindly at her, saying...

"You don't need to worry about it. What's yours is yours. Once we cure Master Si's headache and let them see your abilities, the credit for saving Madam Si will still be yours."

Upon hearing this, An Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, and she instantly regained her composure.

Yes, she has the ability to cure Madam Si's strange illness, so Master Si's headache is naturally no problem either.

If Master Si is cured, there will be two merits. When the deceived Madam Si finally understands, she will feel guilty towards her.

Mrs. Si is destined to be An Ran!
