Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 136 - 138: She Cured the Picky Father and Son Duo
Chapter 136: Chapter 138: She Cured the Picky Father and Son Duo
The person was none other than the Housekeeper Wang from the Grandmaster Mansion.
After receiving news from Feng Zhan Tian, he returned to the Grandmaster Mansion. Just as he reached the study, he heard a clear reading voice—it was the Imperial Grandson, Dongfang Jin.
"Not bad."
Grandmaster Nalan pinched his beard and nodded.
After Sacrificial Officer Guo expelled Dongfang Jin from the Imperial Academy, the Grandmaster began to personally tutor him. In just a few days, Dongfang Jin’s studies improved significantly.
"Grandfather, if you were willing to impart your teaching to Jinjin earlier, I’m afraid I could have formed the Wenhua Seal long ago."
Nalan Yan’er entered with a Servant accompanying her.
Inside the study, Dongfang Jin sat respectfully beside Old Grandmaster Nalan.
Grandmaster Nalan was already in his seventies. His hair was gray-white, and although his body remained robust, it had deteriorated a lot recently due to issues with the Ministry of Revenue and with Dongfang Jin.
"I am already of a ripe old age; my body is getting worse by the day. I fear I will soon follow the late Emperor."
Grandmaster Nalan gave a wry smile. Dongfang Jin was very intelligent, but his nature was too arrogant. He genuinely worried that, without him, the boy would stray onto a wrong path.
"Grandfather, don’t worry. Didn’t you say that you’ve already found the spiritual well? With the water from the well, your health should recover."
Nalan Yan’er supported Grandmaster Nalan and instructed the Servant to bring the tonic.
"The spiritual well is located somewhere in Qi Village. For years, our Grandmaster Mansion has been searching for it, and we finally have some clues. Therefore, we must take Qi Village away from the Princess’ Mansion this time."
"Grandfather, you are the Grandmaster, and the Emperor was also your student. He highly values you. If you truly want that land, you could just ask the Emperor directly. Why take such a roundabout way?"
Mentioning the Princess’ Mansion, Nalan Yan’er’s expression turned displeased.
"Yan’er, you have been married into the imperial family for many years and still don’t understand the Emperor’s heart. He is extremely suspicious. He seems to trust me, but in reality, he is merely using the influence of our Grandmaster Mansion. He knew well that you and Dugu Wu were in love, yet he married you to the Second Prince. Do you know why? It is to prevent the Grandmaster Mansion from joining forces with Dugu Wu. Monarchal tactics are all about balance. The water from the spiritual well can extend life and has extraordinary effects. If the Emperor knew about it, how could he allow it to fall into the hands of others?"
Grandmaster Nalan coughed a few times.
He was in urgent need of the water from the spiritual well for his illness.
Someone reported from outside the door, and Grandmaster Nalan gestured to proceed. Housekeeper Wang entered and reported about the situation in Qi Village.
"Grandfather, why not leave this matter to me?"
Nalan Yan’er too, wished to witness the effects of that spiritual well for herself.
She had heard from her grandfather that when he was young, he accidentally drank water from the spiritual well, which could radically transform Martial Artists, sharpen the intellect of scholars, rejuvenate ordinary people, and cure all kinds of diseases.
Rejuvenation would tempt any woman greatly.
She had already asked her grandfather, and only very few people knew about the spiritual well, even Emperor Yongye was unaware.
When the late Emperor allocated Qi Village to Dongfang Lianhua as her fiefdom, he didn’t specify it either.
Nalan Yan’er couldn’t help but sneer in her heart, pitying Dongfang Lianhua and her daughter who possessed the spiritual well but remained oblivious. The people of Feng Residence, out of concern for five years of back taxes, intended to persuade Dongfang Lianhua to transfer the fiefdom.
The next day, Feng Bailing made another trip to the east courtyard.
As she pushed the door open and entered, the scent of flowers from the wind was a refreshing surprise to Feng Bailing.
It had been merely one day, yet the crops that were planted had all bloomed, and the medicinal herbs had sprouted as well.
"It looks like we’ll be able to harvest in just a few days."
While turning over the soil, Feng Bailing thought to herself.
But she also noticed that the mysterious seeds from Mr. Zhao still hadn’t bloomed.
Another day passed, and when Feng Bailing came to the east courtyard again, she saw that it was filled with fruits big and small.
Feng Bailing was delighted upon seeing them.
Though the seeds she bought were ordinary, due to genetic tampering, these fruits and vegetables had become different from those available in the markets of Great Chu.
She had bought tomato seeds, but after tampering, the tomatoes varied in size and color; she plucked a red cherry tomato and popped it into her mouth.
A burst of sour and sweet flavors; the flesh was firm and the juice exploded in her mouth, far tastier than any tomato on the market.
She also dug up some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, and broke off some corn—all of these crops were exceptional in both yield and quality.
Since there were too many, the Princess’ Mansion couldn’t finish them all, so Feng Bailing called for Feng Wan.
"Some people gave me some fruits and vegetables, and they are quite good. Send some to Dugu Wu and Xiaojin, especially Xiaojin since he’s growing. He should eat more fruits and vegetables. Also, tell your master that I’m planning to visit Qi Village, and I want to take Xiaojin with me. It just so happens that the Imperial Academy and Yuxiu Academy have regular days off and there are two rest days. When you come back, bring him with you."
Feng Bailing instructed.
Feng Wan agreed verbally, but thought inwardly.
"Princess Feng still doesn’t understand the master and young master; both of them are hard to change and dislike fruits and vegetables. Getting the father and son to eat more fruits and vegetables would be as difficult as reaching the skies!"
Early in the morning, Dugu Wu saw several baskets of dew-covered fruits and vegetables.
The shapes of the fruits and vegetables were strange, with exceptionally small tomatoes, unusually large cabbages, spineless tiny cucumbers, and multicolored corn. All in all, these were things Dugu Wu had never seen before.
Dugu Wu’s brows nearly knotted, if not for the fact that Feng Bailing said it was for Xiaojin, he would have suspected that these fruits and vegetables were poisoned – how could their colors be so bizarre?
When Dugu Xiaojin saw these baskets of fruits and vegetables, his reaction was exactly like his father’s, his little eyebrows twisted together like caterpillars.
"These are from Princess Feng for you, take them."
Dugu Wu waved his hand, indicating for Dugu Xiaojin to take the baskets away immediately.
His sleeve was tugged, Dugu Xiaojin pouted.
Being picky isn’t good.
Dugu Xiaojin’s face was filled with expectation, he looked up at his father and casually picked up a cherry tomato, wiped it, and stuffed it into Dugu Wu’s mouth.
"Bad company corrupts good character, the young master has learned bad habits!"
Such shameless behavior, must have been learned from Princess Feng!
Feng Wan could practically see the veins popping out on his master’s forehead.
Facing this strange little tomato, Dugu Wu’s face was full of disdain, but seeing his son’s hopeful look.
There was no other way, his own flesh and blood!
His heart softened, he chewed expressionlessly and stiffly.
In his mouth, the sour and sweet taste saturated his taste buds.
Surprisingly, it was somewhat tasty.
Dugu Wu was taken aback for a moment by the taste, it had a hint of sunshine.
Dugu Xiaojin also ate a cherry tomato, and after one bite, his handsome little face turned red, turning into a ripe little tomato.
"Young master, Princess Feng said this corn can be eaten raw and is called fruit corn. She said if you eat it, she’ll take you to meet Dachun."
