Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 680: Wu Family (2)

Elder Wu spat out two mouthfuls of fresh blood, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Li Mubei.

"Li family’s brat, can’t believe you actually killed me over that woman."

At this moment, Elder Wu’s tendons were severed; he knew his life couldn’t be saved. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

On the brink of death, he couldn’t help but deeply regret. His daughter had warned him before, Wu Ling’er thought Li Mubei was a decisive killer, a character to reckon with.

But Elder Wu didn’t believe it. He prided himself on having watched Li Mubei grow up. To him, Li Mubei was gentle and easily manipulated. Even though he had hurt Li Mubei’s woman, he thought Li Mubei would still not dare to act against him in consideration of the Wu Clan’s face. That’s why he had come to assassinate with such complacency tonight.

"The Wu and Li families have been supporting each other for many years, but I know that you Wu Family have always harbored ill will, scheming against our Li family. Wu Ling’er wanting to marry me is just to control me. I have had enough of such days."

Li Mubei spoke in a deep voice.

Killing Elder Wu would break Dongfang Lianhua’s curse.

Li Mubei could endure all the oppression from the Wu Clan, but they should never have laid hands on Dongfang Lianhua.

"Alright, you little scoundrel. No wonder Ling’er said you would ruin our big plans. But don’t get smug, do you think by killing me, your woman will wake up? Hahaha!"

Elder Wu started to laugh loudly, coughing as he did so, his mouth filling up with fresh blood, looking terrifying.

Li Mubei’s heart sank. He quickly turned to look at Dongfang Lianhua on the bed, his heart jolted, could it be the one who cursed wasn’t Elder Wu.

"The one who cast the curse wasn’t me, by killing me, Ling’er will seek revenge for me."

Elder Wu laughed loudly, his laughter stopped abruptly after a few sounds, and with a tilt of his head, he was gone.

Li Mubei furrowed his brows, hurrying back into the room to check on Nanny Su’s condition. It was then that Nanny Su awoke.

"Nanny Su, the person who delivered the letter to Lianhua that day, was it the person outside?"

Seeing the Elder Wu lying dead outside, Nanny Su was startled at first but after a closer look, she gently shook her head.

"No, that person’s figure was thinner than his, and he had a rather high-pitched voice," Nanny Su recalled.

Wu Ling’er... Li Mubei’s eyes darkened. It seemed that Elder Wu was just following orders; Wu Ling’er was the one behind the scenes. He wouldn’t let the matter rest now that Li Mubei had killed Elder Wu.

But with Chu City being so large, where could he possibly find Wu Ling’er?

Late at night, Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu, among others, returned from Zuixian Inn. Most of the folks from Prince Shun’s Mansion had drunk a little, even Princess Consort Shun was a bit tipsy.

The group returned to Prince Shun’s Mansion. Feng Bailing had been worried that Nalan Chun would continue to harm Dugu Wu, but the night passed without incident.

Nalan Chun and Dongfang Yong looked the part of the soon-to-be-wedded couple, just that Dongfang Yong was too happy tonight and was caught by Feng Luochen and Hong Xuan to drink quite a bit, and now he couldn’t hold his liquor.

Dongfang Yong staggered, being helped off the horse carriage, with Nalan Chun demurely following behind him.

"Why have you been staring at Dongfang Yong all night?"

Dugu Wu had a few drinks too, but he had a good tolerance for alcohol, and those few drinks couldn’t perturb him.

Dugu Wu noticed that Feng Bailing had been watching Dongfang Yong and his wife all night.

"Don’t you think that tonight Nalan Chun is..."

Feng Bailing left his sentence hanging, but considering Dugu Wu’s reaction, this man wouldn’t pay too much attention to Nalan Chun. After all, even if Nalan Chun became his sister-in-law, what did it matter to him?

The couple returned to Wu Courtyard, both Dugu Xiaojin and Feng Xiaoli were worn out from playing and were sent off to sleep.

Just as Feng Bailing was about to head to her room to rest, Dugu Wu followed her in.

"Aren’t you sleeping in the study tonight?"

Feng Bailing looked tense.

Dugu Wu’s face darkened.

Feng Bailing is now pregnant, and although it doesn’t show much, she needs to vomit every now and then. If Dugu Wu lived here, he would surely discover it.

"I’ve left a book in the room."

Dugu Wu, with a dark expression, casually searched the room, picked up a book, and left. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Feng Bailing sighed in relief and turned to close the door.

In the dead of night, when all was quiet, Dugu Wu entered the study, feeling somewhat annoyed.

The light in the study was dim.

Dugu Wu, growing impatient, tossed the "book" onto the desk.

"That woman really has some nerve, it’s my own room after all, and she dares to send me out."

A glint flashed in Dugu Wu’s eyes.

"It seems necessary to investigate this man named Gong Zhu and find out what’s going on."

With his mind preoccupied, Dugu Wu walked into the study. Suddenly, the light flickered, and as he looked up, he spotted someone else standing in a corner of the room.

His eyes narrowed, and he was somewhat surprised when he recognized the visitor.

The person was wearing a Feifeng Crown, turned away from him.

Only after hearing the sound of Dugu Wu’s footsteps did the other person slowly turn around.

Facing him was a fair and lovely face.

Dugu Wu frowned.

Nalan Chun.

At this time, Nalan Chun should be in the bridal chamber with Dongfang Yong. Why had she run to his study?

Dugu Wu felt something was off.

"Nalan Chun, what are you doing in my study?"

Dugu Wu’s voice was stern, clearly expressing his impatience.

Nalan Chun’s lips curled slightly.

"Wu’er, how can you not recognize me?"

Nalan Chun’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse and carried a seductive undertone.

She walked over, and the nearby lamp flickered, yet there was clearly no wind in the room.

Upon hearing that voice, Dugu Wu felt a jolt through his body, looking incredulously at the woman before him.

His vision started to blur, and he saw Nalan Chun’s lips move.

Nalan Chun’s face gradually turned hazy, transforming into another woman’s face.

A face that Dugu Wu had forgotten for many years, yet was deeply etched in his memory.

"Mother."

Dugu Wu whispered softly.

"Wu’er, your mother has missed you."

Nalan Chun walked up to Dugu Wu, her hand brushing across his face, like a mother’s caress, filled with tenderness.
