Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot

Chapter 128: Chapter 130: Father and Her Majesty, Flying Side by Side Chapter 128: Chapter 130: Father and Her Majesty, Flying Side by Side Of course, those are stories for another time.

Upon entering the dining hall, a delicious aroma of food immediately greeted them.

Feng Xiaoli, who was already waiting there like a little foodie, surprised everyone by the presence of Dugu Wu.

Even Lu Yin was there?

Dugu Wu shamelessly sat at the head of the table, acting as if he were the head of the family.

Mrs. Su was busy with the food, and Feng Wan was also graciously allowed to join the meal.

A pot of broth, which had been simmering for three hours in a copper pot over a vigorous red charcoal fire, was served along with various fresh vegetables, thinly sliced beef, glass noodles, and several dishes of sauces whose contents were unidentifiable.

“It smells wonderful, Bailing, you have such good food in your mansion, why didn’t you invite me?”

Just as they were about to start eating, a loud voice was heard as Ouyang Chenchen rushed in energetically.

“What kind of soup is this? It doesn’t smell like ordinary chicken soup; it smells really good. Worthy of a master chef from Chuyue Tower, truly extraordinary. Ah Ling, you’re amazing, to be able to poach a chef from Chuyue Tower.”

Ouyang Chenchen had plans to open a restaurant in Chu City and had an eye on the master chef from Chuyue Tower, ready to poach him.

Little did she know when she inquired, the master chef had already been poached and was now working at the Princess’ Mansion.

“The master chef from Chuyue Tower? No wonder I find the taste of the snacks at home somewhat familiar.”

Feng Bailing was shocked, looking at Feng Wan who was studying the hotpot dipping sauces in her bowl.

“Chuyue Tower is also one of Dugu’s properties.”

Lu Yin, following Feng Xiaoli’s example, took a slice of beef, swished it in the pot for a moment, and dipped it in the sauce before popping it into her mouth.

The beef was tender and not greasy, with a rich flavor. Lu Yin, who had been eating meat for nearly twenty years, had never tasted such fresh and tender beef before.

“This broth is also very delicious; I’ve never had this kind of soup at Chuyue Tower.”

Ouyang Chenchen had already received a bowl and chopsticks from Mrs. Su, and after taking a sip, she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Feng Bailing, who had returned from the 22nd century, had long wanted to improve the food in Great Chu. Unfortunately, earlier in the Princess’ Mansion, it was difficult to change things due to the presence of the Feng Family; but now that she was independent in the Princess’ Mansion, she started to alter her family’s eating habits according to modern habits.

Starting from giving Dongfang Lianhua and Feng Xiaoli milk to drink, to changing from two to three meals a day, after these adjustments, Dongfang Lianhua’s complexion became rosier, and Feng Xiaoli also grew much taller.

“Originally it was, but not anymore. I’ve already sold it.”

Dugu Wu sipped the soup, which was very delicious.

“The Ministry of Revenue was in deficit, and I sued the gang from the Old Grand Preceptor, they somehow found out that I owned Chuyue Tower and claimed there were issues with its taxes. I simply decided to sell it.”

He paused.

“Additionally, the tax affairs of the royal relatives’ estates have also been thoroughly investigated, and the estates of the Princess’ Mansion also had to pay the last five years of taxes.”

“I’ll have Su Wang help calculate that later.”

Dongfang Lianhua nodded.

“Grandmother, have a chicken drumstick.”

“Granny Su, have a chicken drumstick.”

Feng Xiaoli, swinging leisurelly, picked up the food.

Feng Xiaoli also picked a chicken wing for Dugu Wu and another for Feng Bailing.

“Daddy, Her Majesty, let’s eat chicken wings together, this is called ‘paired wings flying together.'”
Ouyang Chenchen’s eyes brightened.

“Bailing, so this is your and Prince Wu’s daughter, she really looks like Prince Wu!”

“…”
Lu Yin was somewhat speechless. Girl, you really need to check your eyesight; Feng Xiaoli is dainty and cute, nothing like Dugu’s eternally debt-collecting face.

Feng Xiaoli then picked a piece of beef for Su Wang, and added a piece of fish to Lu Yin’s bowl. When it was Ouyang Chenchen’s turn, she picked a slice of cucumber.

Ouyang Chenchen was visibly disappointed, staring at that cucumber.

“I’ve decided, I will also have daughters in the future, three to five of them, and each one must feed me chicken.”

“Miss Chenchen, with your physique, I am afraid you might not have daughters.”

Lu Yin assessed Ouyang Chenchen’s noticeable belly.

Ouyang Chenchen’s expression changed.

“Mr. Lu, how do you know I can’t have daughters?”

“My parental instincts as a physician say, with your physique…”

Lu Yin hadn’t finished his sentence when Feng Xiaoli, leaning on Xiao Pang’s hand, glanced at Lu Yin, then at Ouyang Chenchen, and blurted out a statement.

“Uncle Lu and Aunt Ouyang will have daughters.”

Feng Wan suddenly burst out laughing, and soup sprayed everywhere.

Lu Yin and Ouyang Chenchen’s faces turned alternately red and white.

Feng Bailing couldn’t help but laugh wryly, rubbing Feng Xiaoli’s head. She had recently been strict about controlling Feng Xiaoli’s offhand remarks, but the little girl just couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Fortunately, what she said was not particularly harmful; the side effects should be minimal. “Originally, I came here to borrow a chef, but seeing it now, there’s no need to borrow one. How about we partner together? You provide the staff, and I’ll provide the capital, and together we’ll run a restaurant.”

Ouyang Chenchen spoke breezily.

“Xinglin Spring has just reopened not long ago, I plan to first reorganize Xinglin Spring.”

Feng Bailing thought that with Chuyue Tower, opening a restaurant might not be profitable; she wasn’t into making unprofitable deals.

Mentioning Xinglin Spring, a worried look crossed Su Wang’s face.

Feng Bailing saw it and after the meal, while Ouyang Chenchen went to the kitchen to establish connections with officials from Great Chu and others went for a walk, Feng Bailing and Su Wang headed to the study.

“Commandery Princess, Xinglin Spring has encountered some problems. Just yesterday, I went to purchase medicinal herbs; the common herbs were fine, but when it came to some prestigious herbs, several Medicine Shops said they had no stock. It seems we are being boycotted by our peers,” said Su Wang with a light sigh.

A thought struck Feng Bailing, recalling Dugu Wu’s earlier warning.

From Su Wang, Feng Bailing learned that the Medicine Shop was missing essential Chinese medicinal ingredients including lingzhi, ginseng, cordyceps, and snow lotus.

“Some commonly used medicinal herbs are also missing. If this continues, the Medicine Shop will lose its clients,” sighed Su Wang.

“Go back first. I remember we still have some medicinal herbs in the Princess’ Mansion storeroom. I’ll arrange to have them sent over in a couple of days.”

Feng Bailing comforted Su Wang a few words then sent him back.

After Su Wang left, Feng Bailing went to the storeroom.

Inside the Princess’ Mansion, other than Mrs. Su and Chun Liu, the other servants were all sent by Dugu Wu, including the guards.

The person managing the Princess’ Mansion’s storeroom was an honest-looking man called Old Wei, who used to work as a doorman for Prince Shun’s Mansion and was very capable, hence he was sent to the Princess’ Mansion.

“Princess Feng, this is the ledger for the storeroom, please take a look,” said Old Wei, who was lean and over fifty, showing great respect to Feng Bailing.

“I remember there are still some ginseng, lingzhi, and cordyceps in the storeroom?”

“Reporting to the Commandery Princess, the Prince gifted some when proposing, and some were moved from the Princess’ Mansion. If the Princess and Commandery Princess need them, the Dongshan ginseng gifted by the Prince is top-notch.”

Feng Bailing took the medicinal herbs and returned to her room.

After securing the doors and windows, she opened the first-aid box and placed the newly acquired medicinal herbs in the third compartment.

Having closed the lid, she heard a knock at the door.

Opening it, “Chun Liu” entered.

He wiped his face, peeling off a thin human skin mask, his tone somewhat melancholic.

“I went to the Princess’ Mansion to find you, only to learn that you had moved. Dugu Wu’s moves are not small; has he been keeping you like a canary?”

Gong Zhu was also shocked when entering the Princess’ Mansion.

Not only were there many guards, but he also saw an extremely fierce Wolf King.

What was most astonishing was that little fat girl, Feng Xiaoli, was actually walking the Wolf King!

He had just finished speaking when he grunted.

Feng Bailing had already noticed his unstable breath as he entered the door and checked his pulse for him.

“How has your injury worsened?”

She had been treating Gong Zhu’s injuries for months; he had old injuries within him, and with acupuncture combined with Seventh Sense, the effect was good, and it was largely healed last time.

After returning from his latest tasks and investigations, Gong Zhu had put in a lot of effort, but no matter how much he chased, he couldn’t catch up to Dugu Wu.

At the very least, he couldn’t provide a sanctuary for Feng Bailing and the little fat girl amidst the chaos.

Dugu Wu could.

Gong Zhu suppressed the emerging strange emotions deep inside, feeling bitter in his heart.

“Xiao Junci of Beiqi has come to Great Chu, likely targeting you and your daughter. Although protected by Dugu Wu, you still need to be careful.”

Gong Zhu warned.

“What do you know about Xiao Junci?”

Feng Bailing had only briefly interacted with Xiao Junci, but had a strong impression of him. She must be wary of him. If he really aimed to harm her and her daughter, she would need to turn the tables and let them know that the Princess’ Mansion is not to be trifled with.

In the middle of the night, in Feng Xiaoli’s room.

A sharp whistle sounded.
