Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Accidentally Saving the Future Top Scorer Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Accidentally Saving the Future Top Scorer “You wrap your hands around him, with thumbs against his upper abdomen, and strike forcefully on the upper abdomen.”

Feng Bailing ordered, and Lu Yin immediately did as told.

With a plop, a small piece of bun came spewing from Su Wang’s mouth.

Su Wang was in a daze, feeling as though he had just been on a trip to the gates of hell.

At the brink of death, it seemed as if he heard King Yanluo personally speak to him.

“Su Wang, you possess great knowledge, it’d be such a pity if you died.”

After that utterance, he felt his soul returning to his body.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw a face.

It was a woman, veiled; her beautiful eyes were like two clear springs, transparent and curious as they gazed upon him.

The surrounding crowd dispersed, and the workers from Xinglin Spring glared at them furiously as they supported Doctor Yang back.

“Su Wang, have you lost your mind? For the sake of one silver, you’d give up your life?”

Seeing that Su Wang was awake, Lu Yin kicked him.

It was lucky that Dugu Wu had a keen eye. Seeing that something was wrong with Su Wang and having him come over, he almost certainly saved Su Wang’s life.

Wait, with Master Feng Xiao here, no one would die.

Master Feng Xiao was truly miraculous. With just a few touches, he brought a man back to life?

Lu Yin’s eyes sparkled as he stared at Feng Bailing, his look full of admiration.

“I am ashamed; thank you, miss, for your life-saving grace.”

Su Wang faced the woman, his cheeks flushing. He pressed his left hand onto his right hand, raised his hands to his forehead, and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle to Feng Bailing, performing a grand gesture of gratitude.

“I didn’t expect you to know the proper etiquette.”

Lu Yin said with surprise.

Su Wang was someone he had hired from the streets with one silver, planning to stage a collision at Xinglin Spring, but it almost cost a human life.

“I see you are articulate; a learned man. Why have you fallen to the streets to partake in such disgraceful acts?”

Feng Bailing asked.

“Xinglin Spring is a deceitful place, and I was in desperate need of money, thinking to earn this unrighteous wealth.”

Su Wang glanced up at the sign of Xinglin Spring, filled with helplessness and embarrassment.

His competence and knowledge were useless compared to the evil doctor who cheated the world and stole names.

Su Wang said, producing a packet of medicine from his pocket.

“My mother contracted a fever, which has been high and unsubsiding. I had saved up silver for a long time to buy medicine from Xinglin Spring. Not only was it expensive, but after my mother took it, her condition instead of improving worsened. I went to Doctor Yang of Xinglin Spring to argue, and he had me beaten and thrown out.”

Indignation filled Su Wang’s face.

He was not a citizen of Great Chu but came from a vassal state to Great Chu because his family migrated here due to early wars.

Little did he know that midway through, they would be robbed by thieves, leaving them with nothing, and he ended up in Chu City with his mother. Being foreigners, they couldn’t even make a living and had to beg on the streets.

“Beizhou’s Su Wang, his father is the reputable Su Qin, and he himself is a talent capable of governing a country. A tragedy in his youth brought him to Chu City, later aided by Dongfang Li to study and seek official rank. One year later, he scored the top scorer, obtained the Wenhua Seal and became a strategist under Dongfang Li.”

Feng Bailing reminisced.

She knew Su Wang, who also remembered the hardships of begging on the streets after scoring top scorer that year. He set up a porridge tent in the streets of Chu City where Feng Bailing, suffering from cold and hunger, had once begged for a bowl of porridge.

At that time, Su Wang, despite being adorned in silk and being a top scorer, personally served porridge to the beggars.

Such a talented individual was wasted following Dugu Wu.

“Peony bark, yam, Shudi, Cornelian, Poria — these medicines targeting fever were actually correct.”

Lu Yin examined the medicines that Su Wang had.

“The name of the medicine is correct… but there’s a problem with the medicine itself.”

Feng Bailing picked up a piece of Poria and sniffed it.

Poria is sweet in taste and very mild in smell, yet the piece she held had not a hint of sweetness.

“These are residue from decocted medicine, Su Wang, you’ve been swindled,” she said.

Lu Yin shook his head.

All the herbs in the medicine were like this, which hugely reduced their efficacy.

Xinglin Spring was audacious indeed, to dare pass off substandard herbs as good ones.

“Su Wang, take some of these medicines back with you.”

Feng Bailing looked up, her clear eyes reflecting Su Wang’s face.

“This lifesaving favor, I shall never forget, but I have no extra money on me.”

Su Wang’s face turned red, overwhelmed with shame.

“If you have no money, sell yourself to me.”

Feng Bailing’s voice was pleasant, but her words made both Su Wang and Lu Yin stunned.

Above them, in Chuyue Tower, Dugu Wu’s jaw tightened, his heterochromia eyes flickered.

Sell himself?

Shameless!

Su Wang was caught in a moral dilemma. A man of the Su Family, with a stature of seven feet and a mind full of thoughts, was to entrust his life to a frail woman?

After a long while, he knelt down on both knees, bowing deeply.

“Su Wang is willing to serve the lady.”

He didn’t even ask for Feng Bailing’s name.

“Tomorrow afternoon, come find me at Xinglin Spring. Also, inquire if there are other patients who like you bought medicine residue. Take down their names and bring them to me tomorrow.”

Feng Bailing watched Su Wang leave, while Lu Yin looked on with a face full of inscrutability.

“Master Feng Xiao, I helped in the rescue too. Shouldn’t you give me something as well?”

“For you.”

Feng Bailing casually picked up a pill and tossed it to Lu Yin.

She had given Su Wang a Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill, which should suit his mother’s ailments from maladjustment to local conditions leading to heat-related symptoms, and clearing heat and detoxifying were perfectly suited.

“This is also medicine?”

Lu Yin crawled on the ground, and with some difficulty found a mung bean-sized Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill, both shocked and delighted.

My goodness, Great Chu mostly uses traditional Chinese medicine which is difficult to consume and may weaken the spleen and stomach if taken excessively, but this small pill from Master Feng Xiao, brownish-yellow and emitting a blended scent of various herbs.

Lu Yin popped it into his mouth and as soon as the pill touched his tongue, he didn’t find it bitter at all, much better than traditional Chinese medicine.

“Amazing, Master Feng Xiao!”

He regained his senses just in time to see Feng Bailing enter Chuyue Tower, and hurriedly scrambled to follow her.

Around the corner of the street, an inconspicuous horse carriage stood.

Beside the carriage, the coachman witnessed everything.

“Your Highness, Su Wang has been rescued.”

The coachman bowed, waiting by the carriage.

In the carriage, the profile of a man’s face was faintly visible.
