Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 648: Dugu Wu’s Adventure (Part 2)

"There’s actually such magical water in the world."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yin couldn’t help but sigh.

Over a decade ago, Lu Yin had not yet followed Dugu Wu, so he wasn’t aware of this matter.

He thought about it and then nodded.

"When my master was alive, he also traveled extensively and said that he had encountered some ancient tribesmen. Those people knew some mysterious talisman techniques, their power incredibly profound."

"What happened later when you eradicated those bandits?"

This news from Dugu Wu sparked some new hope in Feng Bailing.

If Dugu Wu and Prince Shun had been able to find a method to break through the enemy’s defenses back then, she should also have a way to revive Dongfang Lianhua.

Dugu Wu gave a bitter smile.

"Actually, there wasn’t really any specific method. At that time, that water simply had no effect on me alone. Once Prince Shun realized this, he sent me alone to storm the mountain. Eventually, I caught the Great Wizard and killed him, and the water lost its effect, and those bandits were thoroughly exterminated."

Lu Yin, standing nearby, listened with wide eyes and muttered.

"Dugu, are you showing off or what?"

The cursed water worked on anyone but Dugu Wu, this guy really has some heaven-defying luck.

Listening to this, Feng Bailing had a realization in her heart.

That cursed water must possess some mysterious power, but Dugu Wu is not an ordinary person. He embodies the Emperor’s Treasure, a born lucky child, ordinary mystical powers have no effect on him, which is why he could break the effects of the cursed water.

"I also saw the letter from the princess just now. That strange powder is very likely the key to the curse. From my experience, to break this curse, we must find the person who cast it, the man the children mentioned. But his identity is extremely mysterious, if we can’t find him, then I’m afraid..."

Dugu Wu did not continue.

"I need to take a trip to Baidi City."

Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu’s thoughts coincided. She also knew to save Dongfang Lianhua, she had to find the mastermind behind it all, as Dugu Wu said, she couldn’t rashly barge into the Imperial Palace to find Noble Consort Dugu, as it could easily startle the snake and possibly alert Noble Consort Dugu or even those behind her.

The best plan for now was to visit Baidi City and find clues about Noble Consort Dugu’s background at the local Soldier Inn, as well as the whereabouts of that mysterious man.

This time, Dugu Wu did not oppose Feng Bailing.

Only because he also knew it was a matter concerning Dongfang Lianhua’s life, no one could stop Feng Bailing.

Originally, Dugu Wu wanted to suggest that Feng Bailing take Feng Wan or Feng Zao with her.

However, Feng Bailing promptly refused. Traveling alone was more convenient, and with Feng Luochen in Baidi City, she would not be in danger during the journey.

Originally, Hong Xuan and Feng Luochen were both staying to prepare the wedding for Dongfang Yong, but yesterday, Feng Luochen received a letter from Zhang Dafa telling him to go to Baidi City, so he had to leave Hong Xuan to assist Dongfang Yong and head to Baidi City ahead of time.

Thus, currently, Feng Luochen was not yet aware of the situation with Dongfang Lianhua.

After the couple discussed everything, Feng Bailing decided to set out for Baidi City early the next morning.

The issues at Wushuang Building involved both Feng Zhan Tian and Nalan De, and due to Manager Qiu’s death, both were released back to their mansions.

As Feng Bailing and others examined Dongfang Lianhua’s condition, a horse carriage quietly stopped in an alley outside Feng Mansion.

It was already deep into the night, a person sneakily alighted from the carriage.

That person gently tapped twice on the corner door of Feng Mansion, and the door opened.

The person walked into Feng Mansion, where a lantern cast a faint light illuminating the person’s face.

That was a pudgy, greasy round face, bearing some urgency as he wrapped his arms around the person who opened the door, gnawing a few times on their face.

"Keep your voice down."

The person who opened the door pushed him away.

This person was Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue was embraced by Feng Zhan Tian, who groped her all over.

"Why be afraid? There’s no one else in the mansion. Zhao’an is busy at the Ministry of Revenue, not coming home at night. The person in the side room is already like a dead man."

Feng Zhan Tian carelessly pulled Aunt Xue toward the room.

"Where’s my silver?"

Aunt Xue asked softly.

She had been involved with Feng Zhan Tian for a while now. Initially, she truly despised Feng Zhan Tian, as he was covered in layers of fat and reeked of copper, nowhere near comparable to Feng Zhanlian.

But times have changed; Feng Zhanlian is now bedridden, unable to take care of himself. The household servants had been dismissed, and Granny Xue had no silver left. To maintain the expenses of Feng Mansion and her dignity, she had to accept Feng Zhan Tian’s gifts.

Feng Zhan Tian shamelessly persisted and finally coaxed Aunt Xue into bed.

"Ah, you always talk about money with me, you never care about me. I almost lost my life today," Feng Zhan Tian said grimly.

"You got a job from Noble Consort Dugu, and you’re about to make a fortune. How could you almost lose your life?"

Aunt Xue was taken aback.

Currently, Feng Zhan Tian was her golden goose, and she was counting on him to connect her with Noble Consort Dugu to seek a better future for Feng Zhao’an.

"Let’s not talk about it; it’s bad luck."

Having said that, Feng Zhan Tian deeply gazed towards the direction of the Princess’ Mansion.

"Is Feng Bailing at the Princess’ Mansion? I just saw her carriage. That woman is a jinx; nothing good happens when she’s around."

Feng Zhan Tian couldn’t figure out how his well-laid plans had suddenly gone awry. Now that Manager Qiu had died in prison, he didn’t know how to explain to Noble Consort Dugu.

"I’m not sure, seems like something happened at the Princess’ Mansion. You promised me 100 silver, and it’s already spring. Zhao’an and I still don’t have new clothes. It’s also time to get new medicine for your brother."

Aunt Xue whispered.

"Do you still care whether he lives or dies? He’s just a medicine jar, I say we might as well directly..."

As he spoke, Feng Zhan Tian took out a medicine bottle and retrieved an Elixir from it, the same kind he had previously given to Nalan De.

Feng Zhan Tian had been cautious and secretly kept one; the rest were taken away by the Capital Governor.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Aunt Xue exclaimed.

"Give it to him, and from now on you can follow me, enjoying the best of food and drink, without having to serve him."

As soon as Feng Zhan Tian finished speaking, Aunt Xue shuddered.

"You’re asking me to murder my husband."

She was almost scared to death, unable to believe that Feng Zhan Tian could be so malicious. Feng Zhanlian was his brother, after all.

Originally, despite Dongfang Lianhua’s objections, Feng Zhanlian had brought Feng Zhan Tian and his family from the countryside. She never thought Feng Zhan Tian could be so ruthless and ungrateful.
