Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Second Brother Takes the Stage Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Second Brother Takes the Stage Early in the morning, the streets of Chu City were already bustling with people coming and going.

Food stalls, restaurants, various shops, and vendors carrying their burdens could be seen everywhere, with Feng Bailing holding Feng Xiaoli, taking in the lively scene of the market.

Xiao Li lay in Feng Bailing’s embrace, her little head turning everywhere, eager to try any delicious treats she spotted.

Before long, her little belly was as round as a goldfish, all puffed up.

Fearing that she would eat too much and suffer indigestion, Feng Bailing let her down to walk around.

“Chu City has become much livelier than before.”

Chun Liu exclaimed in amazement.

“It’s still the same old scene.”

Feng Bailing’s gaze lifted to the street corner not far away, where Xinglin Spring was located. Feng Bailing remembered, not long after she begged along the street, Xinglin Spring was sold by the Feng Family.

Opposite Xinglin Spring was the largest restaurant in the city, named Chuyue Tower. Not long after Xinglin Spring closed down, the shop transferred ownership to Chuyue Tower.

Chuyue Tower’s scale continued to grow, but no one knew who the owner was; rumors said it was a prince from a southern country.

Feng Bailing’s sight once again fell upon Xinglin Spring. With an annual loss of fifty taels of gold, it was no wonder the Feng Family finally transferred the Medicine Shop.

“Miss, don’t run around, there are many carriages and horses on the street.”

Chun Liu did not hear Feng Bailing’s words clearly, chasing after Feng Xiaoli.

As long as Feng Xiaoli was not sick, she had more energy than an average child.

“You and Xiao Li go to Chuyue Tower for a tea break, and take care of her… and her mouth.”

Feng Bailing was somewhat helpless with her mischievous daughter, but thankfully, Feng Xiaoli had a weakness – she couldn’t resist delicious food. To keep her quiet, just give her something to eat.

After arranging for Feng Xiaoli, Feng Bailing headed towards Xinglin Spring.

“Isn’t that Master Feng Xiao?”

On the second floor of Chuyue Tower, in a private room, two people were seated.

Opposite Lu Yin was Dugu Wu.

Dugu Wu did not pay attention to the woman walking toward Xinglin Spring and nodded towards Feng Wan.

Feng Wan left and returned after a moment to report.

“My lord, Master Shangyin’s carriage has arrived downstairs. Also, the Miss has ordered over a dozen snacks downstairs, including ‘Four Happiness Meatballs’, ‘Gold Cake’, ‘Boneless Chicken Feet’, ‘Honey Three Cuts’… she’s eating a bit much.”

Dugu Wu raised his eyes.

“My lord, no more deductions!”

Seeing that look, Feng Wan knew he had said too much, and wished he could slap himself.

“Let Shangyin go beg at Xiao Li’s table.”

It was a coincidental opportunity; he had originally planned to take Shangyin to the Princess’ Mansion.

Dugu Wu quietly memorized all the dozens of snacks.

Dugu Wu felt that Xiao Li having a good appetite was a good thing, better than Dugu Xiaojin’s pickiness.

Downstairs, noisy commotion rose; a crowd was gathering in front of Xinglin Spring’s door.

“There’s been an accident, quickly find a doctor.”

A weak beggar lay on the ground, his clothes tattered, around twenty years of age, with a greenish face, barely breathing in, not out.

This beggar had just been begging at a steamed bun shop on the street corner, and in a blink of an eye, he ended up like this.

Lu Yin appeared calm and composed, as if he hadn’t noticed, Dugu Wu glanced at him.

“You said you wanted to buy Xinglin Spring, Mr. Feng quoted five hundred taels of gold. But I’ve checked clearly, Xinglin Spring lost fifty taels of gold last year.”

Lu Yin grabbed a handful of peanuts, eating with relish.

Doing business calls for good luck at the start. Xinglin Spring had just opened for the day; if someone died at the doorstep, their reputation would be ruined.

Let alone five hundred taels of gold; it wouldn’t be worth fifty.

“Quickly find a doctor.”

The staff at Xinglin Spring had just opened the door when they saw this scene, the shop assistant was startled and hurried to find Doctor Yang.

Feng Bailing was also in the crowd.

She had seen the beggar on the street, who had begged for a bun at the bun shop, probably starving, gulping it down quickly before ending up in this state.

Doctor Yang was soon called out, and he was the former Imperial Physician Yang.

Ever since he had been blinded by Dugu Wu in the street, he never dared to carry the title of Imperial Physician again.

He was instantly furious upon hearing that a beggar was lying at the entrance of their Medicine Shop early in the morning.

The Prince bullying him was one thing, but how dare a beggar expect him to provide medical care.

Penniless, and still expecting him to dirty his hands.

“Carry him away, I recognize this beggar, his name is Su Wang. He is the most despicable, he even stole medicine before.”

Doctor Yang spat in the direction of the beggar.

Su Wang?

Feng Bailing’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that name.

She carefully looked at the beggar on the ground.

Covered in grime, without even shoes to wear, but upon closer inspection, the person seemed rather good-looking.

Could it be that Su Wang?

The shop assistants clumsily lifted the man up.

Su Wang’s body trembled, his face growing even uglier, lips changing color.

“Stop, don’t touch him.”

Doctor Yang, who could not see, only heard a woman’s voice.

“This boy is a scam artist, other irrelevant people should not interfere.”

Doctor Yang said irritably.

Su Wang was nothing but a thief and a rascal, what evil deeds hadn’t he done for money?

“If you move him, the food stuck in his throat will slide into his windpipe, it could be life-threatening.”

Feng Bailing listened to Su Wang’s increasingly difficult breathing, instructing everyone to immediately lay him down.

“What tube? You must be Su Wang’s accomplice, trying to extort our Medicine Shop, kick them out together.”

Doctor Yang said, peeved.

The clerks moved to drive them off.

“Stop, who told you to be handsy?”

Lu Yin squeezed through the crowd, winking at Feng Bailing.

“Master Feng Xiao, what a coincidence.”

He sneakily glanced at Su Wang, just about to say the fellow was acting too realistically, but looking again, something wasn’t right – the boy was rolling his eyes back.

“Not good, he’s really dying.”

Lu Yin’s face changed color.

He felt Su Wang’s throat, skilled in medicine and poison, but not specialized in this kind of treatment, he instantly broke out in sweat.
