Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 176 - 178: An Unusual Rendezvous

"Damn man, knows how to press her with his son?"

Feng Bailing muttered to herself.

The lucky eggs at the Xiahe Banquet haven’t even been cracked open, and Feng Bailing has reason to believe that she wouldn’t be able to leave now even if she wanted to.

"Where is your father?"

Feng Bailing thought about it and still wanted to tell Dugu Wu about what happened at the banquet today.

"Just over there."

Dugu Xiaojin turned her head and pointed, only to find out her father wasn’t at the spot not too far away anymore.

Dugu Xiaojin was puzzled.

"I will take you to him."

Feng Bailing and Dongfang Lianhua, along with Li Mubei and Dongfang Qi, should be fine together, so she told the group, took Dugu Xiaojin by the hand, and went to look for Dugu Wu.

But after searching around, there was no sign of Dugu Wu.

"Why is the Crown Princess Consort not seen? The Imperial Grandson has been with her all the time."

"The Crown Princess Consort seems a bit distracted today."

"It’s probably because of the Princess’s illness; it’s been several days now, and the little princess has been crying incessantly."

While Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin were looking for Dugu Wu, the personal servant of Nalan Yan’er passed by them, walking hurriedly, looking for someone.

Ha~ Damn man!

Feng Bailing rolled her eyes inwardly, intuition telling her that Dugu Wu must be with Nalan Yan’er right now.

"Queen Mother, I am going to look for father."

Dugu Xiaojin’s face was filled with nervousness.

The Queen Mother seemed very displeased, and the consequences could be serious.

He had to find his father first. Dongfang Jin’s mother was just like Dongfang Jin; both were not good people. His father must not be deceived by them.

After saying this, Dugu Xiaojin ran off in a flash.

"Run slower, don’t fall."

Feng Bailing cautioned from behind. She had only walked a few steps when she saw someone’s shadow flickering past behind her,

Feng Bailing saw clearly, it was a servant from Duke Chen Mansion.

This Lady of Duke Chen spends her days at places like Shanyin Inn, certainly the same kind as Lady Nan Feng.

Feng Bailing murmured to herself.

"Why is it so hot?"

While saying that, she waved the handkerchief in her hand, mimicking the appearance of feeling very hot. The maid saw this and silently rejoiced, knowing that the poison in Feng Bailing’s body had begun to take effect.

She hurried back to report to Duchess Chen and Lady Nan Feng.

Feng Bailing sneered internally and proceeded forward.

In the garden, in a concealed curved pathway, Dugu Wu wore a displeased expression.

"You called me here just to tell me once again that Feng Bailing is a spy?"

During the banquet, when Nalan Yan’er came to offer wine, she secretly slipped him a note, asking him to meet alone here, claiming that she needed to tell him some secrets about Feng Bailing.

"Ah Wu, do you really distrust me that much? I wouldn’t harm you; Feng Bailing married you for a purpose."

A sadness filled Nalan Yan’er’s beautiful eyes.

"This is none of your business."

Dugu Wu turned to leave.

"To facilitate Dongfang Lianhua’s separation from Feng Zhanlian, she agreed to Emperor Yongye, exchanging the secret edict hidden at Prince Shun’s Mansion."

Nalan Yan’er blurted out.

Dugu Wu halted in his steps.

The last time Nalan Yan’er spoke ambiguously, he did not believe her.

But regarding the secret edict, it was a secret known only to a very few, making it even easier to make Dugu believe.

Nalan Yan’er did not know how Hua Wushang knew, but she knew very well about Dugu Wu; what he hated the most was being used and betrayed.

That year, she betrayed him, choosing the Second Prince over him. When he rushed over, his indifferent demeanor was something she couldn’t forget to this day.

"You’ve only known her for just over a month, and you’ve known me for over a decade. You trust her but not me?"

Nalan Yan’er moved her lotus steps closer to Dugu Wu, stretching out her hand, wanting to hold onto the man she loved.

"Ah Wu, I have many regrets. Night and day, I am full of regret. You were my first man; I should not have given you up for the Grandmaster Mansion. Just thinking about you marrying her tears my heart apart."

Nalan Yan’er wept bitterly.

Dugu Wu still did not move.

She really betrayed him?

His chest felt as if it was being pressed by a heavy rock, leaving him breathless.

Who should he believe...

The moonlight was good this evening, aside from those annoying people and their calculations, the lotus pond under the moonlight was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

After Dugu Xiaojin left, Feng Bailing looked up and saw the lake in the distance, with lotus flowers blooming furiously.

These were not the common red, pink, and white colored lotuses; their flowers were also slightly smaller.

Under the night sky, they seemed like elves in the moon, the slender stems hovering inches above the water. From Feng Bailing’s angle, those flowers bloomed mid-air, their petals glowing with a firefly hue, emitting a faint light as they blossomed.

"The Firefly Lotus must be beautiful."

Someone appeared beside her.

Dongfang Mosheng nodded in the direction of Feng Bailing to greet her.

"It is indeed beautiful, but it’s fleeting. This pond doesn’t have a single fish, nor does it harbor any waterbirds. Such a malicious and poisonous flower is better left unseen."

Feng Bailing always forgot that Dongfang Mosheng was blind.

Even without company, in the unfamiliar environment of Duke Chen Mansion, he moved around freely, appearing even sharper than the average person in the night.

The pond that housed the Firefly Lotus, devoid of any fish.

The Firefly Lotus is beautiful indeed, but overly domineering.

It blooms the most seductive flowers, attracting the attention of the world, but its roots are highly toxic; fish and birds that consume it would die.

"Princess Feng really is a unique person. Most women I know tend to focus only on the beautiful appearance of blooming flowers."

Dongfang Mosheng said with a smile. He was good-looking, and when he smiled, it was even more stunning, instantly making the Firefly Lotus seem less outstanding by comparison.

Even Feng Bailing didn’t dare look too much; this man was too detrimental.

Redness brings calamity; such a high-level presence could potentially bring disaster to a nation if he had ill intentions.

How did she not notice his existence in her past life?

Feng Bailing wondered internally.

"The Ninth Prince is also quite unique. I’ve never seen a prince like you. You don’t involve yourself in wine, women, wealth, or pleasures; you live like a sage."

"Many people say I’m quite boring."

"However boring, you are definitely more interesting than Dugu Wu."

Feng Bailing contemplated that if Dugu Wu didn’t show up soon, in the future, he should not expect to freeload at the Princess’ Mansion anymore.

"Since that is so, why did Princess Feng marry Prince Wu? Marrying him... might even lead to your death."

The man beside her let out an almost inaudible sigh.
