Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 196 - 198: The Deadbeat Dad Who Caused a Scene

Prince Shun’s Mansion had not seen such liveliness in a long time, with joyous sounds echoing around the beams and guests filling the entrance.

In his lifetime, Prince Shun cared little for court affairs and was known as the indolent Prince, seldom interacting with court officials. Over time, Prince Shun’s Mansion had drifted apart from the various manors of Chu City.

Prince Shun had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Dugu Wu, need not be mentioned. Although he held great power, he was aloof and brutal, and those who tried to ingratiate themselves with him found their efforts both exhausting and fruitless.

The second daughter, Princess Mingyue, was born to a servant girl with whom Prince Shun had relations in his younger years. Her mother passed away early, and at the age of sixteen, she was married off to the eldest son of Prince Mu as a secondary wife. She had just given birth half a year ago and was currently in the prime of her life, basking in the glory of her maternal status.

The third son, Dongfang Yong, was the untamed man who had earlier scoffed at Dugu Wu and his son. At thirteen, he left home and had a rebellious nature, paying no heed to anyone.

The fourth daughter, Princess Mingxia, was the daughter of Princess Consort Shun. She was timid by nature, mild and compliant, and also the schoolmate of Feng Bailing.

The fifth son, born to Princess Consort Shun, was named Dongfang Chun. Only eight years old, he was the young heir of Prince Mansion, spoiled by the Princess Consort from a young age and thus a little tyrant.

Dugu Wu, holding Feng Bailing, approached the hall where the wedding ceremony would take place.

Inside the hall, colorful lanterns depicting phoenixes in harmony fluttered in the breeze, and the joyous candles shone brightly.

On each side of the hall, Dongfang Lianhua and Princess Consort Shun sat opposite each other.

When Princess Consort Shun came back to her senses, she found herself already in the hall. Feng Xiaoli took Dugu Xiaojin’s hand, following behind Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu, looking very much like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

The guests attending the ceremony could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"Princess Feng and Prince Wu are a perfect match of talent and beauty."

"These children are adorably delicate and attractive."

Praises upon praises were whispered endlessly.

Feng Bailing listened, her heart heavy with a sigh.

These people are truly like the grass atop a wall, swaying with the wind, stepping on the high and praising the low, thinking that Dugu Wu’s leg has recovered, thus they come to flatter.

When Dugu Wu’s leg injury recurs, these people would certainly crowd around to trample him mercilessly.

"The auspicious moment has arrived."

The shrill voice of the matchmaker echoed in the hall. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The wedding attendants on both sides recited various auspicious phrases, and Princess Consort Shun, seeing that the event had reached this point, could only force a smile of happiness.

Dongfang Lianhua looked at her daughter under the lights, her heart filled with a multitude of emotions.

Her Ah Ling was finally getting married.

But remembering Feng Zhanlian’s earlier threat, Dongfang Lianhua was somewhat worried.

Accused of infidelity, Feng Xiangxue and her husband, Feng Zhanlian, had no choice but to return shamefully to Feng Mansion.

Still, Dongfang Lianhua couldn’t shake the feeling that Feng Zhanlian would not let things rest.

Dugu Wu and Feng Bailing stood facing each other, the wedding veil obscuring Feng Bailing’s vision, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts.

Emperor Yongye had issued the order that the secret decree must be acquired tonight.

Yet Feng Bailing had no idea where the secret decree was hidden.

Her time was limited. After the wedding ceremony and when Dugu Wu went to entertain the guests, that would be her best opportunity.

Prince Shun’s Mansion had prepared fifty tables for the banquet, and the time allotted for toasting was at most an hour, meaning that Feng Bailing had to find the secret decree within an hour amidst the vast quarters of Prince Shun’s Mansion.

Feng Bailing couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for herself.

The wedding attendants had already finished their praises, and the matchmaker led Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu to the middle of the hall, preparing to proceed with the ceremony.

"Hold on!"

Hearing that shout, a flash of anger sparked in Dongfang Lianhua’s eyes.

She abruptly stood up.

And there was Feng Zhanlian, reeking of alcohol, staggering out from the crowd.

He belched from the liquor.

"Dongfang Lianhua, Feng Bailing, I do not consent to this marriage."

Feng Zhanlian had hoped that today’s marriage of his second daughter would wipe away past humiliations, but instead, Feng Xiangxue’s chastity was exposed, and even Feng Zhan Tian was invited by the Seventh Prince to receive honors, while he, the top scorer, was ejected from the ceremony.

Furious and desperate, he drank several mouthfuls of liquor, and after listening to Aunt Xue’s weeping complaints, his anger was stuck in his chest and he couldn’t calm down.

Why does Dongfang Lianhua celebrate his daughter’s wedding joyously, while he, as a father, has to endure everyone’s scorn?

"Feng Zhanlian, you are drunk. Someone take him out."

Dongfang Lianhua’s face was cold.

"Who dares to touch me. I am the top scorer, the Prince Consort. The one taking the wedding vows is my daughter. I raised her since she was born, and now that she is marrying into a Prince Mansion, she wants to be ungracious and kick me away — there’s no way."

Feng Zhanlian was red-necked with belligerence, playing the rogue.

The guards of Prince Shun’s Mansion did not make a move as the Princess Consort Shun did not issue an order.

"This unfilial daughter, she urged her mother to divorce me and even bullied her sisters. She lacks humanity and filial piety. To be such a person is in vain."

The guests also pointed at Feng Bailing, murmuring among themselves.

They too had long heard of Princess Feng’s reputation.

"Feng Zhanlian, what happens between you and me has nothing to do with Ah Ling. If you want to make a fuss, let’s step outside and talk."

Dongfang Lianhua trembled with rage.

She had completely lost hope in Feng Zhanlian; his ruthlessness towards her was one thing, but now he even sought to ruin Ah Ling.

"I won’t go out. Your Princess’ Mansion now has strong backing, wanting to destroy me. But I’m not afraid, the Emperor is behind me. Tonight, I must drink this cup of tea."

Feng Zhanlian weaved unsteadily towards the high seat on the right side.

"Stop right there."

From the crowd, Li Mubei could no longer bear to watch, and with a cold shout, he grabbed Feng Zhanlian’s shoulder.

Feng Zhanlian let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Murder! Dongfang Lianhua’s pretty-boy lover wants to kill and silence me! Boy, let me tell you, I was Dongfang Lianhua’s first man. When she was in bed with me, you were still suckling milk. It’s not your turn even after I’m done with her."

Feng Zhanlian taunted with a sardonic tone.

"Feng Zhanlian!"

Dongfang Lianhua, furious to her limits, rushed forward and fiercely slapped Feng Zhanlian.

Feng Zhanlian tumbled to the ground, struggling to get up, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Ptui, Dongfang Lianhua, give up. I will not divorce you, not only will I not divorce, but I also do not approve of Feng Bailing’s marriage. By the order of parents and the matchmaker’s arrangement, without my consent, she will never enter Prince Shun’s Mansion."

Feng Zhanlian still rambled on arrogantly.

Feng Xiangxue did not marry Dongfang Li, making Feng Zhanlian’s dreams of rising higher even more impossible.

Nan Feng had secretly advised him that his only chance was to rely on the mother and daughter of the Princess’ Mansion.

Suddenly, a clang of metal was heard.

A flash of cold light appeared as Feng Bailing swiftly approached a guard from Prince Shun’s Mansion. With sharp eyes and quick hands, she drew a scabbard knife and pointed it at Feng Zhanlian.
