Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 30 - Feng Xiaoli Looking for Daddy
Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Feng Xiaoli Looking for Daddy
In the afternoon, Feng Bailing set out to visit Feng Xiaoli.
Her daughter was flesh that had fallen from her own body, and after a few days apart, she missed her terribly. If Xiaoli knew that she was about to have a father and an elder brother, she would surely be overjoyed.
As she left the Princess' Mansion, she heard Ding San wailing at the entrance, and there was quite a crowd gathered around the Princess' Mansion, pointing and commenting.
"That eldest young lady from the Princess' Mansion is really heartless, mistreating the servants."
"I've heard it long ago that this eldest lady is ugly and without virtue, while the second lady is beautiful and kind-hearted."
"It's said that this eldest lady has lost her chastity and given birth to an illegitimate daughter, an absolute disgrace among women."
Ordinary people would have been enraged by such rumors, but Feng Bailing, having spent years as a beggar, had developed a heart as tough as stone.
She knew something was off with the rumors, and glanced at the crowd, memorizing a few who were the most vocal. As soon as they saw Feng Bailing, they quickly slipped away.
"Shut Ding San's mouth. Whoever untied him, tie them up as well."
Feng Bailing glanced at the several house servants at the entrance; they were daunted by her glare and quickly gagged Ding San with a rag.
Feng Bailing paid no attention to the gazes of the passersby and headed towards the east of the city.
Chun Liu's distant relative lived in the civilian alleys of the eastern city.
Upon reaching the east of the city and locating Chun Liu's relatives, Feng Bailing did not find Chun Liu.
When asked, Feng Bailing found out that Feng Xiaoli had developed a fever the night before, and Chun Liu, anxious, didn't wait for the doctor to visit and took Feng Xiaoli to find one herself.
Why had Xiaoli gotten a fever again?
Feng Bailing remembered that since Xiaoli had been born preterm due to her own hemorrhage during childbirth, Xiaoli had always been frail.
She had been relatively easy to care for before the age of one, but after she began talking, she fell ill every few months.
This illness was likely due to the ailment left behind from falling into the well last time.
Feng Bailing blamed herself, and after inquiring about the clinic's location, hurriedly made her way there.
On the streets of Chu City, bustling with people, Chun Liu, holding Feng Xiaoli, inquired along the way and finally found a pharmacy in the city, Xinglin Spring.
Xinglin Spring was actually the property of the Princess' Mansion, one of the dowries that Princess Yong'an brought with her marriage, and inside was a clinic with a doctor, namely Doctor Yang, who had served in the Imperial Hospital in his early years, diagnosing all major and minor ailments for the Princess' Mansion.
Xiaoli had started to run a fever last night and was talking nonsense.
Worried that something might happen, Chun Liu wanted to seek Doctor Yang's help.
"I'm looking for Doctor Yang; my Miss has fallen ill."
Chun Liu's round face was hard to distinguish between tears and sweat as she kept looking down at Feng Xiaoli in her arms. The small Miss was entirely red, and her body was burning hot.
All along the way, the little Miss kept calling for her mother.
"Make way, make way; a nurse from the Crown Prince Mansion got food poisoning at the neighboring teahouse; please have Doctor Yang go take a look."
A house servant with an arrogant face rushed into the clinic, pushing Chun Liu aside.
Hearing that it was the nurse from the Crown Prince Mansion's matter, Doctor Yang disregarded the long queue waiting for him and picked up his medicine box to leave.
"Doctor Yang, I am Chun Liu from the Princess' Mansion; our small Miss has a fever. Could you please have a look?"
Chun Liu squeezed to the front, pleading.
"Can the Princess' Mansion be compared with the Crown Prince Mansion? Move aside, so you don't delay the important person's illness."
Doctor Yang felt this was a good opportunity to ingratiate himself with the Crown Prince Mansion; being pushed out of the Imperial Hospital, he was worrying about how to return.
If he could earn the appreciation of the Crown Prince Mansion, his fortunes would soar.
Chun Liu was pushed aside; holding Xiaoli, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Please, Doctor Yang, save our young Miss."
Chun Liu, holding Feng Xiaoli, knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
A pair of soft little hands struggled to lift, wiping away Chun Liu's tears.
"Don't cry, Daddy will come to rescue Xiao Li."

Feng Xiaoli felt a heat overwhelm her body, and in her hazy state, she seemed to see a figure approaching her.
A sour feeling rose from the depths of Chun Liu's heart. She staggered to her feet to chase after Doctor Yang, but as soon as she reached the street corner, commotion erupted from behind.
The crowd on the main street panicked and scattered.
A horse carriage came flying in from the intersection. The horses pulling the cart were robust and fierce, charging forward violently.
Chun Liu, terrified and breaking out in a cold sweat, realized it was too late to get away. Clutching Feng Xiaoli tight to her chest, her heart was filled with despair.
Suddenly, a figure darted out beside the horse carriage.
The person, quick-witted and swift, scooped Chun Liu into his arms and gave the horse reins a tug, calming the furious military horses to a stop.
Chun Liu's face flushed with heat as she saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He first saw Chun Liu and was about to say, "Little girl, your eyes are so big, how come you don't watch where you're going?"
But before he could speak, the young man was taken aback, pointing at Feng Xiaoli in Chun Liu's embrace.
"Miss!"
Feng Wan recognized Feng Xiaoli and hurriedly hid his new scabbard behind his back.
Dugu Wu pulled back the carriage curtain.
He was actually on his way back to Prince Shun's Mansion, and on a normal day, he would not have taken this route. On the way back, he thought about Dugu Xiaojin's upcoming birthday and decided to take a detour, never expecting to encounter this little creature.
Chun Liu had already fainted from fright, falling squarely into Feng Wan's arms.
"Hey, don't pass out! You're so heavy!"
Before Feng Wan could finish, Dugu Wu instructed him to carry Feng Xiaoli onto the carriage.
"She's so hot?"
Dugu Wu frowned, touching Xiao Li's forehead.
Seeing the little one in agony, with a face as pathetic as a bitter melon, his chest felt unbearably tight.
"There's a clinic up ahead, why not ask there?"
Carrying Chun Liu on his back, Feng Wan saw Xinglin Spring in a glance.
"The wet nurse from the Crown Prince Mansion got sick at the teahouse from bad food, and Doctor Yang went to treat her. This little maid went to seek treatment and was kicked out."
A passerby, who couldn't stand it anymore, spoke up with courage.
Xinglin Spring was also an established medical clinic that sold medicine.
It was said to be owned by the royal family and Doctor Yang, who practiced there, was notorious for exploiting his power, and many common folk had suffered under him. But they were like mute persons tasting misery - unable to speak out.
Dugu Wu listened and his eyebrows knitted tighter.
"Feng Wan, go tie up that person and bring him here."
A wet nurse got a bad stomach, and other people were not allowed to see a doctor now?
The Crown Prince Mansion was so arrogant that even a wet nurse could bully others.
Feng Wan affirmed with a sound, placed Chun Liu inside the carriage, and entered the teahouse.
The teahouse erupted with a clatter and cries for help. Feng Wan emerged with Doctor Yang in one hand and a pudgy middle-aged woman in the other, dragging them from the teahouse.
With a casual throw, the two rolled out beside the carriage.
The woman was dressed in a red robe and green pants, adorned with several golden bracelets, her face full of arrogant indignation.
"Who's this dog-slave to dare seize me? I am the wet nurse of the Imperial Eldest Grandson and Imperial Eldest Granddaughter, a favorite in the eyes of the Crown Princess Consort, the future Empress!"
