Chapter 185: Chapter 187 A Bizarre Family
After Dugu Wu entered, he saw Lu Yin drinking milk tea in the study, waiting for him.
Dugu Wu snatched the pot of chilled milk tea from Lu Yin’s hand. Ever since he had tasted the milk tea made by Feng Bailing in the Princess’ Mansion, Dugu Wu gradually grew fond of this peculiar beverage.
These few pots of tea were even obtained in the name of Xiaojin’s fondness, coaxed from the Princess’ Mansion.
"The wedding date with Master Feng Xiao is the day after tomorrow, yet there’s been no activity from Prince Shun’s Mansion. The Princess Consort, as the Matriarch, is really lacking in attention to detail. To host a joyous occasion and not even see a few red lanterns displayed."
Lu Yin was almost indignant on behalf of Feng Bailing.
After all, Feng Bailing was a Commandery Princess, and even though she had a little crow-mouthed Feng Xiaoli in tow, didn’t Dugu Wu also have a son?
The intentional neglect from Princess Consort Shun was a clear sign of disrespect to the new Princess Consort.
"I have already instructed Housekeeper Zhu to make arrangements. Now that the second brother is back, Princess Consort truly has put her heart into it. In the previous weddings, she never informed the people of Prince Mansion."
Dugu Wu sneered.
"Dongfang Tuo is back? What bad deed has this boy done this time, killed someone or racked up a debt? A fine young master of Prince Manor, yet insists on mingling with the military corps. And that backstabbing second sister of yours has returned too?"
Lu Yin felt a headache coming.
In terms of medical skill, Master Feng Xiao was unparalleled, but the domestic affairs of Prince Shun’s Mansion were much more complicated than any difficult diseases.
Dugu Wu’s princess consorts—whether dead or crazy—were all very peculiar.
Lu Yin wondered if he should give Feng Bailing a heads-up...
The wedding is imminent, the Princess’ Mansion is festooned with lights and decorations, red carpets are laid on the ground, red lanterns sway in the sunlight, and all the guards and servants have donned new clothes.
Dongfang Lianhua was so busy she didn’t even have time to drink water, checking the guest list, various wedding etiquettes, rules for going out, down to the smallest detail. Fortunately, with Mrs. Su’s help and the nanny sent by the Empress Dowager, the Princess’ Mansion inside and out was orderly managed.
In contrast, the bride-to-be Feng Bailing, seemingly without a care, sat in the pavilion cracking sunflower seeds.
Seeds roasted from sunflowers grown using the Spiritual Spring were particularly fragrant.
Feng Bailing added a bit of salt and pepper, gently cracking them open to relish the plump seeds dancing on her tongue, leaving a lingering flavor on her lips.
In that past life, she did not live to see her own wedding, but in this life, she was about to marry with Xiao Li.
The groom was Dugu Wu, a man who struck terror in people’s hearts in that past life.
He had a son, Dugu Xiaojin, a tender, handsome little fellow—they were also her benefactors.
Their marriage signified the official start of the one-year agreement. freёnovelkiss.com
She would have to live under the same roof as Dugu Wu.
Beside Feng Bailing lay a roster.
It was a list of family members of Prince Shun’s Mansion, prepared by Dongfang Lianhua for her.
So far, Feng Bailing had only met Princess Mingxia and Princess Consort Shun, as well as the very competent Housekeeper Zhu.
The family members of Prince Shun’s Mansion were somewhat complex.
Prince Shun had one wife and two concubines, the wife being the First Princess Consort and the concubines being a chambermaid he took in before recognizing Dugu Wu as his son, and the daughter of his nanny.
Aside from Dugu Wu, the Princess Consort had a son and a daughter, the daughter being Princess Mingxia and her eight-year-old son the legitimate heir to Prince Shun’s Mansion, yet too young to have been titled.
The rest were sired by the two concubines.
Princess Mingyue, the same age as Dugu Wu, as well as a third young master, Dongfang Tuo, two to three years younger than Dugu Wu.
Princess Mingyue was already married, wed to Mr. Mu of Prince Mu’s Mansion, the brother of Princess Anyang. The third son, however, was yet to be married and, reportedly, often stayed away from home.
Feng Bailing would probably get to see these people during the wedding unless there were some unexpected surprises.
Yet Feng Bailing’s mind was not on this roster.
She was still thinking about the news brought by Ouyang Chenchen.
Although she possessed the Water Holy Seal and the Seventh Sense, when it came to real skill, she still fell short compared to Wuji Experts.
Especially against formidable Wuji Experts like Xiao Junci and Li Mubei, she stood no chance.
But if she could forge some weapons that could be used against Wuji Experts, combined with poison, she would have a chance of victory.
"The several nations in the northwest are too far from Great Chu; even traveling day and night would take half a month, and the item they are all vying for, my chances of obtaining it are simply too low. Perhaps I could ask Gong Zhu for help. I just wonder how Gong Zhu is faring, now that he has returned to Xingxiu Sect."
Feng Bailing thought to herself.
