Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 31 - The Future Mother-in-Law Who Comes to Smash the Place
Chapter 31: Chapter 31 The Future Mother-in-Law Who Comes to Smash the Place
Dugu Wu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Passersby only felt a blur before their eyes, and before they could see clearly, a hissing sound was heard, and blood splattered on the ground.
Chun Liu had just woken up, only to see a head rolling onto the ground.
She cried out in shock, and then blackness overcame her vision; she fainted once more.
"Send it to the Crown Prince Mansion and say that this impertinent servant has spoken out of turn about state affairs; I, the prince, have dealt with it."
Dugu Wu glanced at Doctor Yang collapsed on the ground.
"Mercy, my lord, have mercy..."
Doctor Yang was petrified with fear.
"A presumptuous cur, what use are eyes to you?"
Dugu Wu let down the carriage curtains, shutting out Doctor Yang's pitiful screams.
"My lord, it has been efficiently dealt with."
Feng Wan, holding Chun Liu, was seated in front of the carriage, while Doctor Yang, whose eyes had been gouged out, was carried away by the terrified people from the clinic.
"What about the little Miss?"
Feng Wan sneaked a glance at his master; his master's brows were furrowed, his gaze lowered, scrutinizing Feng Xiaoli.
Holding her, whether to let go or not to let go, the situation seemed much more difficult than when he was on the battlefield slaying enemies.
"Go to the Princess' Mansion."
Dugu Wu held Feng Xiaoli, this little creature soft and tiny, as if a careless touch might harm her.
Little girls need to be pampered.
Dugu Wu's movements became gentler still, and even his voice became softer. He had no experience in caring for children and could only hold her in his embrace.
He remembered that when he was injured, the medicine Feng Bailing gave was very effective.
This woman, what kind of mother is she!
The crowd quickly dispersed.
When Feng Bailing arrived at Xinglin Spring, she found the doors tightly shut.
Xinglin Spring?
Feng Bailing felt the name was somewhat familiar. Upon a moment's recollection, this Xinglin Spring was a property of the Princess' Mansion.
Back when Princess Yong'an married Feng Zhanlian, the late Emperor included this well-established Xinglin Spring in her dowry.
To take care of everyone from the Princess' Mansion, Doctor Yang, from the Imperial Hospital, was specially appointed as the doctor.
The clinic was well-situated and an established business, the business was originally very good, but ever since Feng Zhan Tian, Feng Zhanlian's younger brother, took over management, it had declined, requiring the mansion to supplement it yearly.
As for Doctor Yang, it was said he lined his own pockets, taking quite a lot of advantages.
Feng Bailing had long suspected that Doctor Yang was involved in Dongfang Lianhua's illness, but she had not yet gathered enough evidence.
She knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long while. Upon asking the neighboring shop, the shop assistant, pale as a ghost, relayed the incident's details haltingly.
The blood on the street corner had not yet dried, and the assistant dare not disclose the identity of the individual involved, but Feng Bailing guessed it immediately.
In all of Chu City, only he would dare to behead the Crown Prince Mansion's nanny.
Yet by doing so, wouldn't he be unconcerned about humiliating Nalan Yan'er?
She didn't have time to consider further and hurried towards the Princess' Mansion.
Outside the Princess' Mansion, a horse carriage with golden tassels fluttering from its canopy had just stopped, and down stepped a fair and beautiful woman.
She exuded an air of nobility, and she was the Princess Consort Shun coming to deliver the engagement gifts to the Princess' Mansion.
The marriage between the Princess' Mansion and Prince Shun's Mansion was a union of members of the Royal Family. According to matrimonial customs, not one of the six rites could be omitted.
Princess Consort Shun only brought along a casually assembled gift list, accompanied by her personal nanny and maidservants, clearly not holding the Princess' Mansion in high regard.
Princess Consort Shun glanced at the mansion's plaque and frowned, covering her nose with a handkerchief.
The Princess' Mansion is truly puny compared to Prince Shun's Mansion, noticeably shabby.
But it's no surprise, for the Princess' Mansion is short on people and funds, nowhere near the military exploits and rewards earned single-handedly by Dugu Wu, sufficient for three generations of Prince Shun's Mansion to live in luxury.
Like all women of the Royal Family, Princess Consort Shun had a poor impression of Feng Bailing. She missed this year's Spring Banquet due to a headache, but she clearly remembered Feng Bailing, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Princess' Mansion, who had once infuriated the Empress Dowager to illness at the banquet.
Her mother is Princess Yong'an, and her father is a Prince Consort with no real power. It's been said that Princess Yong'an has been ill with tuberculosis for a long time now—what kind of family is this?
These past years, because of Dugu Wu's illegitimate child, she's lost all face, and now she even has to ask to marry a disgraced, husband-less, and worthless widow.
Princess Consort Shun felt aggrieved.
She went to the palace to seek advice from her good friend, Princess Consort Guo, who indeed had a good idea for her.
This marriage, it can't happen.
At the entrance, a wailing sound suddenly arose, and Princess Consort Shun focused her eyes to see an alarmingly bruised and swollen household slave tied up outside.
"What kind of hospitality is this?"
Princess Consort Shun's expression grew even worse.
They say that apart from the second Miss and the third Young Master, there's no decent person in the Princess' Mansion—it sure lives up to its reputation.
"Reporting to Princess Consort, this is an old servant of the Princess' Mansion, who was tied up here for offending Princess Shengping," said the nanny, returning with the information.
"Feng Bailing is far too barbaric, to treat the elderly servants of the house like this. Someone, release this man."

Princess Consort Shun thought that although she cannot become Feng Bailing's mother-in-law, as her elder, she should reprimand this future daughter-in-law who hasn't yet married into the family. She should show empathy for the servants and treat people with tolerance—this is the demeanor an Honored Wife of the Royal Family should have.
"Many thanks to Princess Consort," said Ding San as he was released, repeatedly kowtowing and expressing his gratitude upon learning the lady's identity.
"It is said that you offended your Princess Shengping. Tell me, what kind of person is she?" Princess Consort Shun asked loudly, audible to passersby.
Ding San's gaze flickered.
"Speak if you have something to say, Princess Consort will see justice done for you," hurriedly interjected the nanny beside Princess Consort Shun.
"Reporting to Princess Consort, Princess Shengping... she's not human. Her character is corrupt, engaging in licentious behavior and even secretly gave birth to a daughter. And now, she allows some rogue man to secretly raise the daughter in the Princess' Mansion. Poor Ninth Prince is still kept in the dark."
Ding San's eyes shifted slyly.
Just before, Feng Bailing's maidservant Chun Liu was seen carrying a little girl into the mansion, claiming to look for the eldest Miss, accompanied by a handsome young man, both appearing very anxious—the little girl was even calling him 'daddy.'
Without a doubt, that man must be Feng Bailing's adulterous lover!
That little girl, Ding San had heard early on, was a bastard born to Feng Bailing at the Other Manor.
Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Shun felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.
"Is this true?" Princess Consort Shun was not to be trifled with, furious beyond measure.
What a Feng Bailing! Being jilted in marriage was one thing, but now she's also lost her virtue and chastity!
Dugu Wu against her wishes had brought back Dugu Xiaojin with an unclear background, but now Feng Bailing dares to bring another illegitimate child to split the inheritance of Prince Shun's Mansion?
Ding San wore a face full of eagerness.
"What I have said is nothing but the truth, Princess Consort. If you do not believe me, I shall lead you to the west wing to catch the culprits right now."
