Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 671: Conspiracy in Chu City

"Chun Liu, take Xiao Li inside first and help her clean up properly."

Feng Bailing forcibly suppressed the unease in her heart. Although she had given birth before, it had been a lifetime ago, and her memory had become somewhat blurred.

Feng Bailing noticed that Princess Mingxia seemed to have something to say but hesitated, so she accompanied Princess Mingxia to the Flower Hall.

Princess Consort Shun had taken Dongfang Yong’s marriage quite seriously, preparations were well underway both inside and outside the mansion. However, seeing Princess Mingxia’s expression, Feng Bailing feared there might have been some mishap with the marriage.

"I haven’t been in Chu City for the past few days; has something happened in the mansion?"

Feng Bailing inquired.

Princess Mingxia quickly shook her head.

"Everything in the mansion is fine, and the preparations for my brother’s wedding banquet are almost complete. However, there indeed have been some troubles at the Zuixian Inn."

Originally, Princess Mingxia didn’t want to bother Feng Bailing at this time, especially since Feng Bailing had just returned and didn’t look very well.

But given the urgent situation, she had no choice but to seek Feng Bailing.

During Feng Bailing’s absence from Chu City, she had asked Princess Mingxia to keep an eye on the Zuixian Inn and the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, especially the inn.

Previously, the emergence of the Wushuang Building had caused a significant disruption to Zuixian Inn, but after Feng Bailing’s planning, Wushuang Building had to shut down.

After the downfall of the Wushuang Building, other taverns and teahouses in the city joined forces. They introduced new dishes similar in taste to those of Wushuang Building, and at prices significantly lower than those at Zuixian Inn.

Consequently, several customers were poached by these establishments.

Princess Mingxia had tried to adjust the pricing at Zuixian Inn, but whenever she did, the other taverns and teahouses in Chu City would also adjust their prices accordingly. Consequently, the pricing at Zuixian Inn had dropped to a very low level, and any further reduction might lead to losses.

"I suspect that these taverns and teahouses are controlled by the same person behind the scenes."

Princess Mingxia shared her suspicions. After all, Wushuang Building had previously threatened these establishments, demanding control of their operations. "Your suspicions are not unfounded, I will have someone look into it. For now, keep an eye on any other products from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce circulating in the market. Notify me immediately if you find anything."

Feng Bailing briefly shared her experiences in Baidi City with Princess Mingxia, but omitted the matter of the virus, as the concept would be incomprehensible to people of this era.

After Princess Mingxia left, Feng Bailing returned to her room.

She took a deep breath and opened her first-aid kit, mentally reciting.

"Pregnancy test."

When Feng Bailing opened the first-aid kit again, there were several more boxes of pregnancy tests inside.

After Feng Bailing had just completed her test and was waiting for the results, Chun Liu entered in a flustered manner.

"Princess Consort, the Princess requests that you return to the Princess’ Mansion."

Upon hearing that there was an issue at Princess’ Mansion, Feng Bailing had no choice but to set aside the pregnancy test.

Outside Princess’ Mansion, a person stood there like a stone sculpture.

He had been standing there for two days and nights.

Upon arrival, Feng Bailing saw Li Mubei, and she was a bit surprised and quickly approached.

"Brother Li, what is this?"

Feng Bailing then looked at Princess’ Mansion and saw that the front door was firmly shut; it was clear Li Mubei had been met with a closed door.

"Bai Ling, please speak to your mother for me. I haven’t let her down."

Li Mubei spoke urgently.

The door creaked open, and Feng Luochen stormed out angrily.

"You don’t need to say anything. You’re fickle, changing your loyalties as the day changes to night. My mother has seen through you, and she will not meet with you anymore."

Initially, Feng Luochen had a good impression of Li Mubei, only to find out that Li Mubei was already engaged.

After returning from Chu City, Feng Luochen found his mother seriously ill and unconscious. Upon further inquiry, his mother was like this because of her deep concern for Li Mubei, neglecting even food and drink.

Feng Luochen naturally assumed that it was Li Mubei who had reduced Dongfang Lianhua to this state.

The mere sight of Li Mubei infuriated Feng Luochen; had it not been for Bai Ling’s presence, he would have struck him already.

Bai Ling gave a look, signaling Feng Luochen to calm down.

"Brother Li, I heard you are already married. Since you have a fiancée, you shouldn’t have entangled with my mother."

Bai Ling said with a laugh through tears.

Dongfang Lianhua was under a curse, and Gong Zhu was already trying to find a solution.

During this period, no one should further disturb Dongfang Lianhua’s peace.

"Bai Ling, I am not yet married. That wedding was forced upon me by the Wu Family. I came here to clarify things with your mother."

Li Mubei’s face showed urgency; after participating in the Competition Among Ten Countries, he returned to Nanshe only for Elder Wu to suddenly insist on his marriage.

Unwilling, he escaped and hurried to Chu City, only to find Dongfang Lianhua unwilling to see him.

"Although the marriage is not your fault, you still have an engagement. Do not come to trouble my mother as long as you are still betrothed. Brother Li, if you truly care for my mother, please dissolve your engagement before you come again."

Bai Ling earnestly advised.

Li Mubei was at a loss for words.

The doors of Feng Mansion swung open, and the corpulent Feng Zhan Tian swaggered out, immediately spotting the dejected Li Mubei and Bai Ling among others.

Feng Zhan Tian spoke in a mocking tone:

"Isn’t this Li Mubei, coming to pester the Princess again. Ah, I say, with your handsome looks and wealth, why fixate on one option? The world is full of beauties! Moreover, the one you are after isn’t even a beauty, but a faded flower."

Feng Zhan Tian was with flushed face, vocally grandstanding.

His status has changed, having taken over all of Chu City’s wine shops and tea houses from Noble Consort Dugu, his fortune and arrogance grew.

"Who are you calling a faded flower?"

Hearing this, both siblings, Bai Ling and his sister, were infuriated. Before they could act, Li Mubei, upon hearing this, coldly swept his gaze towards Feng Zhan Tian.

"What, you want to fight? This is Great Chu. Guards!"

Feng Zhan Tian bellowed, and several guards emerged from behind him.

Seeing this, Bai Ling frowned; Feng Zhan Tian was an opportunist, having eagerly divided the family inheritance after Feng Zhanlian’s mishap.

Aside from indulging in pleasures, he wasn’t much capable, and didn’t have much wealth, but the guards behind him were all strong-looking and fierce, clearly not novices.

"Dogs can’t spit out ivory." Li Mubei wouldn’t allow anyone to slight Dongfang Lianhua, and he struck out with his palm.

The seemingly strong guards were instantly knocked down.

Feng Zhanlian’s mouth twitched, about to plead, when suddenly a slap landed, Feng Zhan Tian saw stars before another slap followed swiftly.
