Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 180 - 182 How Many Concubines Does Father Have?

Feng Xiangxue is dead?

Not quite dead.

But the entire Feng Mansion was thrown into chaos.

At yesterday’s Xiahe Banquet, the Feng Mansion completely lost face.

Feng Zhanlian went to the banquet with a smile but came back dejected.

But then, an even more shocking piece of news came.

Duke Chen Mansion sent for Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue, dressed appropriately, went to Duke Chen Mansion joyously, only to be struck by a thunderbolt out of the blue.

Noble Princess Consort Xiao had her personal nanny come over and, in front of Aunt Xue, suggested that since Feng Ruoyan and Dongfang Li were already husband and wife, to save Dongfang Li’s face, they should let both Feng Xiangxue and Feng Ruoyan marry Dongfang Li.

Both sisters would become his concubines, serving Dongfang Li.

Feng Ruoyan was quite pleased upon hearing this.

Although only a concubine, Dongfang Li was the Seventh Prince, and she was merely a commoner’s daughter; marrying a prince was already an honor for her family.

Moreover, it was said that Dongfang Li was favored by Emperor Yongye; perhaps if he became the Crown Prince in the future, her status as his concubine would be elevated.

Under the persuasion of the Crown Princess Consort and the combined coaxing and coercion of the palace nannies, Aunt Xue had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.

Feng Ruoyan’s wishes were fulfilled, but Feng Xiangxue was not pleased.

When she woke up, she had already been returned to the Feng Mansion.

She cried and made a scene, demanding that Feng Ruoyan be expelled from the mansion.

When Feng Zhan Tian heard this, he also had some harsh words, essentially saying that Feng Xiangxue was narrow-minded and couldn’t tolerate her own sister; after all, Feng Ruoyan and Dongfang Li truly loved each other, and didn’t Feng Xiangxue also snatch Dongfang Li from Feng Bailing’s hands at first?

Feng Ruoyan was heartbroken, and shortly after retiring to the south wing room, she tried to hang herself.

"Fortunately, she was discovered early, and she still had a breath left when saved. Miss Feng of the Mansion only allows officials to start fires but forbids the common people from lighting lamps. This time, she really took a big fall."

Mrs. Su had no sympathy for the people of Feng Mansion.

"Nanny Su, you are mistaken. Who is Feng Xiangxue? She cries, makes a fuss, and attempts suicide; Feng Ruoyan is no match for her."

Feng Bailing sipped her porridge with a smile. The rice porridge, boiled from the grains of Qi Village, was fragrant, sticky, and sweeter than the usual rice, making it much tastier.

She was in a good mood this morning and drank two bowls in one go.

"Miss is right, Miss Feng isn’t someone to be taken lightly. There’s more to this story. I heard from the people of Feng Mansion that after this suicide attempt, the palace was alerted. To calm the situation, the Noble Princess Consort eventually relented and decided Miss Feng Er and Miss Feng San will both marry the Seventh Prince, but Miss Feng’s status was elevated from a concubine to a concubine of higher rank."

Chun Liu came in with Feng Xiaoli.

Feng Xiaoli had grown taller recently. She no longer needed to be lifted and could climb onto a chair with her short legs, though she still fell far short of Dugu Xiaojin.

If Dugu Xiaojin were a crane, then Feng Xiaoli would be a little quail.

"Your Majesty~ What is a concubine of higher rank, and what is a concubine?"

Feng Xiaoli stuffed a large meat bun into her mouth, her cheeks bulging as she ate.

"It’s when a man marries several wives."

Feng Bailing casually responded.

"Your Majesty~ Then how many concubines and concubines of higher rank will Daddy have?"

Feng Xiaoli heard from the guards that Daddy had married several wives.

"He wouldn’t dare!"

Feng Bailing put down her chopsticks. That scoundrel, if he dared to take any concubines this year, she would chop off his third leg.

"Who dares you say?"

As soon as Feng Bailing spoke, Dugu Wu, accompanying Dugu Xiaojin, entered.

Dugu Wu and his son shared a common trait: they were not particularly passionate about food; however, ever since dining at the Commandery Princess’ Mansion, the father and son found their appetites significantly decreased.

Thus, when Dugu Xiaojin suggested having breakfast at the Commandery Princess’ Mansion, Dugu Wu readily agreed.

Dongfang Lianhua busily instructed Mrs. Su to prepare two additional sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Feng Bailing diligently served Dugu Wu a bowl of porridge and took the opportunity to touch him.

Dugu Wu didn’t even bat an eyelid.

This woman, if she didn’t take advantage of him one day, she wouldn’t be Feng Bailing.

However, with this touch, Feng Bailing found that her seventh sense had hardly increased.

"It seems mere touching isn’t effective anymore."

Since acquiring the Water Holy Seal, Feng Bailing noticed that her seventh sense grew slower; previously, a mere touch on Dugu Wu could enhance her seventh sense, but now, it barely had any effect.

This was not a good sign.

Feng Bailing couldn’t figure out why this was happening and thought perhaps she should consult the Dragon Queen, who hadn’t appeared in her dreams for a long time.

Feng Bailing glanced behind Dugu Wu but saw no sign of the Dragon Queen.

"The wedding date is drawing near, and lately, the notorious assassination group Xingxiu Sect has encountered significant issues, causing unrest outside. You and the children should not go out unnecessarily, and I have already requested leave for Xiaojin."

Dugu Wu suddenly shifted the topic.

Feng Bailing was slightly taken aback.

"I have dealt with Xingxiu Sect before and encountered a very formidable assassin who might infiltrate Great Chu. As my fiancée, you might also be targeted. I have already increased the manpower for the Princess’ Mansion. Also, it’s critical to have Hei Dian accompany Xiao Li at all times."

Although he didn’t specify, Feng Bailing had already guessed that Dugu Wu was referring to Gong Zhu.

Communications between Gong Zhu and Feng Bailing had not been frequent lately.

Originally, they had agreed that Gong Zhu would undergo treatment every half-month, but he had missed the most recent session.

After the meal, Feng Bailing taught Xiaojin and Xiao Li to recite ancient poems.

"Princess, have you heard about the late Emperor’s secret decree?"

Dugu Wu didn’t rush to the Ministry of Revenue but chose to stay and drink tea with Dongfang Lianhua; he casually inquired.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Lianhua’s expression changed.

"Why does Prince Wu suddenly ask about the late Emperor’s secret decree?"

She anxiously looked towards Dugu Wu.

"I’ve just heard people mentioning it and became curious. Someone once said the secret decree was in the Princess’ Mansion."

Dugu Wu was skeptical about Nalan Yan’er’s words.

Feng Bailing was much too cunning, whereas Dongfang Lianhua was more straightforward. Judging by her reaction, she indeed was aware of the late Emperor’s secret decree, something Feng Bailing had never mentioned, which displeased Dugu Wu.

"There are no secret decrees in the Princess’ Mansion. Prince Wu..."

Dongfang Lianhua hesitated, considering whether to tell Dugu Wu about Feng Bailing’s agreement with Emperor Yongye, a matter she fretted over, as it could affect Dugu Wu and her daughter’s relationship.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Grandson, accompanied by several students from the Imperial Academy, is outside seeking an audience, claiming to apologize for a previous matter on behalf of Young Master Xiaojin and Miss Xiao Li and Miss."

Dongfang Lianhua had yet to inform Dugu Wu when the unexpected guests interrupted her.
