Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 641: The Grandmaster Mansion’s Distinguished Guest

Chapter 641: Chapter 641: The Grandmaster Mansion’s Distinguished Guest

Feng Bailing and the manager arrived at the Drunken Immortal Inn.

Inside the Drunken Immortal Inn, the manager of Wushuang Building, along with several tall and sturdy workers, had driven all the customers out.

Feng Bailing had heard earlier that the manager of Wushuang Building was surnamed Qiu. When they entered, Manager Qiu was drinking tea, looking quite arrogant.

"Are you the owner of the Drunken Immortal Inn?"

Manager Qiu gave Feng Bailing a sidelong glance and spoke in a mocking tone.

Feng Bailing’s eyes flickered and quickly scanned the opponent’s appearance.

The person in front of her, although dressed as an ordinary person, Feng Bailing noticed his throat immediately; his Adam’s apple was not prominent, and looking at his delicate and tender facial features, she understood a few things.

Feng Bailing spoke calmly.

"I am Feng Bailing. The owner of the Drunken Immortal Inn is not here; I am temporarily acting in place of the owner. Just tell me whatever matter you have."

"Here is one thousand taels; take the silver, and get out of Chu City."

Manager Qiu said haughtily.

"How dare you! This is Princess Consort Wu."

The manager of the Drunken Immortal Inn was very dissatisfied, as the other party completely disregarded Feng Bailing.

Manager Qiu naturally knew Feng Bailing’s identity.

So what if she is Princess Consort Wu? Even our king has to be polite when meeting Noble Consort Dugu.

"What princess consort or not, can’t you understand human speech?"

Manager Qiu scoffed coldly.

"What if we refuse?"

Feng Bailing spoke icily.

She glanced at the few workers behind the opponent; each was disguised, but from their physique and posture, it was clear they were trained fighters, each with considerable strength.

"Refuse?"

The manager of Wushuang Building chuckled sinisterly, then with a bang, one of his workers struck a nearby table with his palm, shattering the table instantly.

"Let me tell you the truth, aside from your Drunken Immortal Inn, all the inns in Chu City have already been sold to Wushuang Building. If you refuse."

The opponent chuckled dryly.

"Not to mention all the inns in Chu City, even if all the inns in Great Chu swore allegiance to Wushuang Building, our Drunken Immortal Inn would not be sold. Go back and tell your master, I, Feng Bailing, am not afraid of her."

As soon as Feng Bailing finished speaking, the several workers pounced like hungry wolves.

But almost simultaneously, two shadows, one white and one black, rushed in from the doorway.

In the midst of howling, Hei Dian and Bai Shan knocked down two workers.

The terrifying aura of the two wolves frightened Manager Qiu so much that he shuddered.

"Scram."

Feng Bailing issued a cold command. She had roughly figured out the opponent’s identity. Since the visitor harbored ill intentions, Feng Bailing was not planning to be submissive all the time.

She wanted to see what the opponent would do next.

"If you don’t accept the toast, you must face the consequences; then don’t blame us for being impolite."

Manager Qiu sneered coldly and led his men away with strides.

The manager’s face was full of concern.

"Princess Consort, we really aren’t closing the doors. I have inquired about the taverns and tea houses in Chu City, and all of them were taken over by new owners within days. Now, aside from Wushuang Building and Zuixian Inn, all other taverns and tea houses in Chu City have closed."

The manager had never seen such a strong owner in all his years of managing the tavern.

"The enemy is hidden, and our compliance is futile. Don’t worry, in Chenchen’s absence, I will take responsibility for the safety of Zuixian Inn. Recently, do not purchase food supplies from Chu City. All food supplies should be procured from Xinqi Village. Also, speak to the people in Xinqi Village and be especially careful during transportation. I will send ’people’ to assist."

Clearly, the opponent would not give up easily. If indeed the Noble Consort Dugu is behind Wushuang Building, then she must have come prepared. Although she appears courteous to Feng Bailing on the surface, Feng Bailing’s intuition tells her that Noble Consort Dugu would not stop there.

In the next few days, all taverns in Chu City changed owners. Those taverns and tea houses forcefully sold by Wushuang Building reopened and started offering prices so low it sparked a malicious competition.

The business at Zuixian Inn, already struggling, got even worse in no time.

On the other hand, Princess Consort Shun had finally obtained enough Silver from Dugu Wu, and cheerfully went to book a banquet at Wushuang Building.

To her surprise, when she arrived at Wushuang Building with her servants, the banquet that originally cost one hundred taels a table suddenly became two hundred taels.

Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Shun was instantly infuriated, nearly starting an argument with the staff at Wushuang Building.

In the end, the manager at Wushuang Building intervened.

The manager sarcastically told Princess Consort Shun that if anyone was to blame, it was her daughter-in-law, Feng Bailing, who had offended Wushuang Building. From then on, for any banquet hosted by Princess Consort Shun, whether it’s for a wedding or a funeral, the price would be doubled.

If Prince Shun’s Mansion couldn’t afford this, then Princess Consort Wu herself should come to Wushuang Building and formally apologize.

"What kind of situation is this? You’re just a woman, how did you manage to offend Wushuang Building? The matter of the banquet concerns your third brother’s marriage. It’s just three days away from Dongfang Yong’s wedding, and we haven’t even settled on the banquet yet."

After returning to Prince Mansion, Princess Consort Shun found Feng Bailing and started reprimanding her.

"Queen Mother, this should not be blamed on the elder sister-in-law. It is clearly Wushuang Building’s bullish behaviour. Manager Qiu wanted to buy Zuixian Inn for one thousand taels, which is no different than robbery."

Even Princess Mingxia couldn’t stand watching this.

"Zuixian Inn belongs to Ouyang Chenchen, why are you meddling? Dugu Wu only gave me ten thousand silver taels, but now the banquet needs twenty thousand taels, I can’t manage this wedding anymore."

Princess Consort Shun rolled her eyes in frustration.

Asking Feng Bailing to formally apologize at Wushuang Building was out of the question. After some thought, Feng Bailing decided to visit Grandmaster Mansion with Princess Mingxia.

Wushuang Building’s exorbitant prices simply cannot be left uncontested. Now, they could only discuss with the folks at Grandmaster Mansion if the wedding banquet could be held elsewhere.

Coincidentally today, Hong Xuan was also taking Feng Bailing to Grandmaster Mansion to see Nalan Chun’s bridal clothes and accessories.

Since the death of Old Grand Preceptor, it was Feng Bailing’s first visit to Grandmaster Mansion.

Old Grand Preceptor served three reigns, a truly capable man, but his sons were not so competent. Fortunately, there was one outstanding individual, Nalan Yan’er.

Even so, Grandmaster Mansion lost its former glory after Old Grand Preceptor’s death.

Now the head of Grandmaster Mansion was Nalan Yan’er’s father, Nalan De, who is also Nalan Chun’s father.

Nalan Yan’er and Nalan Chun are half-sisters from the same father, but while Nalan Yan’er was born to the legitimate wife, Nalan Chun was born to a concubine.

Since recovering from her illness, Nalan Chun was brought back from the nunnery, currently residing in Grandmaster Mansion, awaiting her marriage.

Feng Bailing, Hong Xuan, and Princess Mingxia, upon explaining their purpose at Grandmaster Mansion, were led to a side hall to wait.

They waited nearly an hour, yet no one came.

"The tea has gone cold, and still no one has come to greet us. This Grandmaster Mansion really lacks manners."

Hong Xuan said discontentedly, showing their intention to help, but the people at Grandmaster Mansion seem indifferent.

"The master is currently attending to a distinguished guest from the palace, please wait a moment longer. I will call the third young miss," said a maid nearby before she walked away.
