Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

After Xiao Yichen and Su Yao passed away, the capital was immersed in regret and sorrow. Their children arranged a grand and solemn funeral for them, and people came to pay their respects in an endless stream, including high-ranking officials from the court and ordinary people from the city, all of whom were deeply saddened by the departure of the lovers.

“My father and mother were a loving couple throughout their lives. Now that they have passed away hand in hand, I’m sure they will be happy in another world,” Xiao Ling’er said to Lin Yu, her eyes red with tears.

Lin Yu gently put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her, "Yes, your parents' love story will surely become a legend in the capital and be passed down through the ages. We should also be like them, supporting each other and never abandoning each other."

Time flies, and Xiao Ling'er and Lin Yu gradually enter middle age. They inherit Xiao Yichen's legacy. Lin Yu serves as an official in the court, upright and honest, and dedicates himself to the prosperity of the country. Xiao Ling'er, on the other hand, devotes herself to charity, opening a clinic and school in the capital to help the poor and cultivate talents, just like Su Yao back then, with a kind heart, warming everyone who needs help.

One day, Xiao Ling'er was busy in the clinic when an old woman was helped in. The old woman looked haggard, but her eyes revealed a strong determination.

"Young lady, please, please save this old woman. My illness has been a burden on my family for too long, and I really don't want to cause them any more trouble," the old woman pleaded.

Xiao Ling'er quickly stepped forward and said gently, "Grandma, don't be anxious, let me take a look first."

After a careful diagnosis, Xiao Ling'er prescribed medicine for the old woman and gave her some instructions on diet and rest.

"Young lady, you are such a kind person, just like Madam Su back then," the old woman said gratefully.

Xiao Ling'er was slightly taken aback, a trace of longing flashing in her eyes: "Grandma, do you know my mother?"

"Of course I know her. Back then, Madam Su was known in the capital for her kindness and virtue. She even led us to deliver supplies to the soldiers at the front lines, and everyone spoke highly of her," the old woman recalled.

Xiao Ling'er's eyes welled up with tears; she seemed to see her mother's busy figure from years ago. "Mother-in-law, please stop talking. This is what we should do. Please take good care of yourself and come to me anytime if you have any problems."

Meanwhile, Lin Yu also encountered some trouble at court. A faction emerged within the court, attempting to implement policies detrimental to the people's livelihood. Lin Yu firmly opposed this, thus offending many people.

"Lord Lin, aren't you afraid of losing your official position by openly opposing us like this?" a minister threatened.

Lin Yu said righteously, "As a subject, I should strive for the well-being of the people. If I allow you to act recklessly just to keep my position, how can I face my parents-in-law in the afterlife?"

Back home, Lin Yu told Xiao Ling'er about what had happened in the court.

"Ling'er, I know this path will be difficult, but I cannot back down," Lin Yu said firmly.

Xiao Ling'er held his hand and encouraged him, "Yu Lang, I support you. Father and Mother didn't give up when they faced so many difficulties back then, so we can definitely do it too. Besides, we have the support of so many people, and their eyes are discerning."

In the days that followed, Lin Yu continued to navigate the complexities of court politics, while Xiao Ling'er leveraged her influence among the common people to launch a petition against the unreasonable policies. Through their combined efforts, the court ultimately abandoned those harmful measures, and the people were deeply grateful to them.

As the years passed, Xiao Ling'er and Lin Yu grew old. But their children grew up, inherited their fine qualities, and continued to contribute their strength to the country and the people.

On a sunny day, Xiao Ling'er and Lin Yu sat in the courtyard, reminiscing about the past.

"Ling'er, the happiest thing in my life is marrying you and going through all these ups and downs with you," Lin Yu said with emotion.

Xiao Ling'er leaned on his shoulder and smiled as she said, "Me too, Yu Lang. We have not let our father and mother down and have carried on their love and kindness."

A gentle breeze stirred, causing the flowers in the courtyard to sway in the wind, as if telling the story of this family. The love and spirit of Xiao Yichen and Su Yao, like these blooming flowers, will forever blossom on this land, becoming an enduring belief in people's hearts, inspiring generation after generation to bravely pursue true love, uphold justice, and contribute to society. May this beautiful emotion and noble character be passed down through the ages, never to be forgotten…
