Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 684: The Accusers Arrive

"Thank you."

Dugu Wu said somewhat awkwardly.

Feng Bailing was startled; this man actually knew to thank her.

"I blame myself for discovering it too late; if I had realized earlier, maybe I could have saved Nalan Chun."

Feng Bailing lamented, although she had only interacted with Nalan Chun for a few days, Feng Bailing could see that Nalan Chun was in essence a girl with a pure and kind heart.

If Feng Bailing had discovered or taken action earlier, there might have been a chance to save her.

"When did you become so compassionate? Everyone’s fate is predetermined."

Dugu Wu glanced at Feng Bailing.

The Feng Bailing he knew was someone who would haggle over every ounce and was very calculated; he preferred her being meticulous and calculative.

In her heart, Feng Bailing thought to herself, isn’t it the duty of a physician to be compassionate?

Moreover, now that she was pregnant, she had to accumulate more virtue for the child in her belly.

"Was there a problem with the tea you drank?"

Dugu suddenly appeared somewhat anxious; having heard Feng Bailing and Wu Ling’er’s conversation, Dugu Wu roughly understood that this wasn’t the first time Wu Ling’er had drugged him. Even the tea during the wedding ceremony was tampered with.

Feng Bailing had clearly discovered it but didn’t tell him, instead bearing it alone.

His feelings were complicated as he looked at Feng Bailing.

He was her man; it was his duty to protect her.

"Normal people wouldn’t have any problem drinking that tea."

Feng Bailing replied crisply.

What Feng Bailing couldn’t understand was why Wu Ling’er repeatedly drugged Dugu Wu. If she really wanted to deal with Dugu Wu, wouldn’t it be more straightforward to take his life directly?

Dugu Wu had described the hidden crossbow that was used to shoot Wu Ling’er; its design was extremely ingenious, and it was made from Heavenly Iron. If there was really an attempt made, Dugu Wu might have found it difficult to escape unscathed.

Feng Bailing didn’t expect that besides Master Lu, there was someone else capable of forging weapons from Heavenly Iron, and that person’s skills were so ingenious that they could train a disciple like Wu Ling’er and plan everything against Dugu Wu. Wu Ling’er’s master was no simple individual.

"Are you sure you’re alright?"

Dugu Wu stared at Feng Bailing for a good while. After much persuasion from Feng Bailing, Dugu Wu finally believed her words and let her return to her room to rest.

That night, no one in Prince Shun’s Mansion slept well.

Dawn had just broken, and the Princess Consort Shun already had people replace the lanterns and the red carpet.

As day broke, news came from the Princess’ Mansion that Dongfang Lianhua had woken up.

Feng Bailing breathed a sigh of relief. She originally wanted to immediately go see her mother’s condition at the Princess’ Mansion, but considering the situation at Prince Shun’s Mansion, she had to delay her return to the Princess’ Mansion.

Worried about the commotion Dugu Wu might cause if he stayed in the mansion, she asked Feng Zao to remind him to leave early.

Just as Feng Bailing had anticipated, the sudden death of Nalan Chun on her wedding night, although reported to the Capital Governor, led to the furious arrival of people from the Grandmaster Mansion asking for an explanation as soon as dawn broke.

Bang bang bang bang, a series of rough knocking noises on the door.

Many people from the Grandmaster Mansion barged in early in the morning.

No matter how the guards of Prince Shun’s Mansion tried to stop them, people from Grandmaster Mansion were relentless.

"Murder for murder, Prince Shun’s Mansion has gone too far. What exactly did my Chunchun do to offend you? How could you cause her death?"

The person demanding justice at Prince Shun’s Mansion today was none other than Nalan De.

Nalan De, who had been poisoned a few days ago and just recovered, had never liked his daughter Nalan Chun, so he did not attend Nalan Chun’s wedding last night.

But early this morning, upon hearing that Nalan Chun had died, he led a crowd to make a scene.

"Parent-in-law, it was not our Prince Mansion that caused Nalan Chun’s death."

The Princess Consort Shun had a restless night and was busy with funeral preparations early in the morning, looking haggard. Seeing the furious Nalan De, she also felt at a loss.

Nalan Chun has married into the Prince Mansion twice, but each time ended poorly.

This time even more so, as she had lost her life. Last night, Princess Consort Shun was dragged away early by Princess Mingxia, so she had no knowledge of how Nalan Chun died.

The matter of Wu Ling’er was also not explained in detail to the Princess Consort Shun. After all, even if someone did tell the Princess Consort, she would not understand.

She thought that Nalan Chun had killed herself out of shame after her brothers fought over her last night.

"No need for explanations. We’ve seen Chunchun’s body; there are injuries on her, with the fatal wound being from the shot of a martial artist. The coroner has confirmed it too, such a wound could not be made by an ordinary martial artist, it was definitely someone from your family who killed my daughter. Moreover, her clothes were disheveled. Her personal servant said someone saw her being forcibly taken to the study by Dugu Wu late at night."

Saying so, Nalan De brought out a trembling servant girl, who was precisely Nalan Chun’s dowry maid.

Princess Consort Shun was speechless and did not know how to explain.

"Mr. Nalan, how dare you slander others so irresponsibly. It is clear that she was harmed by outsiders, her throat wound was caused by a hidden weapon. All of this has already been investigated by the Capital Governor, and we have handed over the body to him. If there is any issue, we must wait for the Capital Governor to solve the case."

Princess Mingxia was not as easily frightened as Princess Consort Shun.

She stepped forward, facing Nalan’s questioning without a trace of fear.

"Yes, yes, everything Princess Mingxia said is right."

Princess Consort Shun eagerly echoed it.

"Who doesn’t know of the close relationship between Prince Shun’s Mansion and the Capital Governor, and the even more extraordinary relationship between the Second Prince and the Dugu Wu couple? It’s obvious that the Second Prince has taken a bribe and deliberately concealed the cause of Chunchun’s death. Tell me, how could a well-protected lady like our Chunchun have any enemies that would want to take her life?"

Nalan De sneered.

The women from Grandmaster Mansion also put on a fitting show, crying and wailing loudly.

"The murderer, you must hand over the murderer."

"The murderer is Dugu Wu, that heartless wretch. He had indecent thoughts about our Yan’er in the past and failed to marry her, so he shifted his attention to Chunchun."

"After Chunchun joined Prince Shun’s Mansion, she got so frightened that she went insane, and Dugu Wu didn’t want her anymore. But now that Chunchun has recovered and was about to marry Dongfang Yong, Dugu killed her out of hatred for love."

Nalan De accused loudly.

"So early in the morning, I thought it was some family’s dog barking so loudly. Oh, isn’t this Mr. Nalan?"

Feng Bailing had just sent Dugu Xiaojin out when he saw Nalan De making a scene with a crowd from the Grandmaster Mansion.

Nalan De wanted to lash out upon seeing Feng Bailing, but remembering how sharp-tongued this woman was, he held back and kept shouting loudly.

"Whatever you say is useless, today you must hand over the murderer. Otherwise, I will go to the Emperor to seek justice."
