Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 197 - 199: He Helps Her Sever Ties with Her Father
Chapter 197: Chapter 199: He Helps Her Sever Ties with Her Father
Feng Bailing held her scabbard horizontally in her hand, placing it right in front of Feng Zhanlian.
The blade shimmered with a cold, piercing light, sobering up Feng Zhanlian considerably.
He stammered to his feet.
"Feng Bailing, do you really wish to commit patricide? Your father... is not afraid of you... If you dare to kill me, you’d have to join me in death. And that bastard of yours will never be able to hold their head high again in their life."
The Law of Great Chu was strict; for a daughter to kill her father was a grave crime.
Feng Zhanlian had long known that Feng Bailing was no longer the simple-minded girl she once was.
He dared to cause a scene at Prince Shun’s Mansion precisely because he had figured that Feng Bailing would not dare to kill in public.
"You are a subject of Emperor Yongye, the decisions of life and death are for the Emperor to decree. But you do not deserve to be my father, nor do you deserve to drink that cup of tea."
Feng Bailing slowly sheathed her sword, and Feng Zhanlian breathed a sigh of relief, smugly thinking to himself that he knew Feng Bailing wouldn’t dare to kill in public.
"I’m determined to drink that cup of tea..."
"The ancients say that one’s body and hair, being the gifts of one’s parents, should not be damaged; this is the beginning of filial piety. However, you lack benevolence, loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety. Today, here and now, I sever the father-daughter relationship between us."
Feng Bailing raised her hand and took off the phoenix crown on her head.
The pearls and hairpins were dazzling, but they paled in comparison to Feng Bailing’s black hair.
Feng Bailing always took good care of her skin and cherished her hair.
Her black hair, which she had meticulously maintained, was smooth and irresistibly touchable.
Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, reaching her waist, complementing her ice-clear complexion. The scabbard in her hand moved horizontally, cutting towards the long locks around her neck. "Ah Ling!"
Dongfang Lianhua felt a sudden pang in her heart and cried out in shock.
The light of the blade flared, and the guests couldn’t help but exclaim.
The knife did not fall but stayed suspended in mid-air; Feng Bailing was startled.
Dugu Wu, standing beside her, suddenly made a move, and he grabbed the sword in his hand.
Drip-drip-drip—
The sticky blood painted the blade red.
"Husband and wife are one."
The lips of Dugu Wu moved slightly, and the moment the words left his mouth, he snatched the sword away, and with a twist of the blade, gasps arose from the crowd.
Strands of black hair fell to the ground in front of the fiery red groom’s robe.
Dugu Wu had cut off half of his hair, his stern face devoid of any sign of distress.
The Princess Consort Shun covered her mouth in shock, and Feng Bailing felt a tightening in her chest.
Dugu Wu did not even frown.
"From this day forth, you and she, Feng Zhanlian, have nothing to do with each other. If you dare to entangle yourself any further, it will be just like this sword."
Dugu Wu pinched the edge of the blade with his index and middle finger, and the scabbard snapped into two sections.
One of the sections fell down with a hiss, landing precisely between Feng Zhanlian’s legs, mere inches from his private parts. Feng Zhanlian let out a scream, his crotch instantly wet, and a foul stench wafted out.
He scrambled and rolled away without looking back, fleeing from Prince Shun’s Mansion.
Lu Yin hurriedly came forward to tend to Dugu Wu’s wound.
His hair hung haphazardly over his shoulders, giving off an air of unruly charm.
"Bow to heaven and earth."
"Bow to the high hall."
"..."
The hall once again bustled with noise as the couple, surrounded by guests, completed the ceremony.
"Waste."
Xiao Junci stood among the crowd, feeling listless and a touch of sourness in his heart. He cursed under his breath.
He took a few steps back and saw someone darting away from the hall.
"Nalan Yan’er?"
Xiao Junci was somewhat astonished; the Crown Princess Consort of Great Chu was really interesting. She didn’t attend Seventh Prince Dongfang Li’s wedding but came to witness her first love’s wedding.
A corner of his mouth curling up, he leisurely strolled out of Prince Shun’s Mansion.
The night was deep, and a tired figure slowly moved towards the direction of the Princess’ Mansion.
He walked with great difficulty, obviously injured.
But he ignored his wounds, traveling day and night, and finally hurried back to Chu City.
As he reached the front of the Princess’ Mansion, the man lifted his head.
In front of the Princess’ Mansion, there were only two ordinary lanterns. He breathed a sigh of relief. Good, he was still in time.
Just as he was about to step forward to knock, he saw a horse carriage suddenly stop in front of the Princess’ Mansion.
Xiao Junci stepped down from the carriage.
"Regent King, there’s been urgent military business from Beiqi, saying there’s news about the Heavenly Stone in the market."
Inside the mansion, a man looking like a messenger had already been waiting.
As soon as Xiao Junci heard news about the Heavenly Stone, he waved his hand and entered the mansion with an air of coldness.
The man’s face was filled with surprise.
Beiqi... Regent King.
The man was very smart; on his journey back, he had heard rumors that the Beiqi Regent King, acting as Beiqi’s envoy, was staying in Chu City.
But why would he be staying in the Princess’ Mansion?
Elsewhere, Aunt Xue, with swollen red eyes, walked out from Feng Mansion.
"You’re saying Xiangxue is missing? Go search for her quickly, my poor daughter."
"Lady, you must speak softly. The master said that from now on, he does not recognize the second young lady."
Aunt Xue and her nanny wiped their tears as they went to search for Feng Xiangxue.
They did not notice the man who looked like a beggar hiding on the side.
Feng Mansion?
The man lifted his head, glancing between the Princess’ Mansion and the Princess’ Mansion.
Due to Feng Xiangxue’s incident, Aunt Xue was furious; as soon as she returned, she ordered people to remove the lanterns and wedding decorations.
The man hesitated for a moment, then walked to the front of Feng Mansion.
Some house servants had been changed at the door, and upon seeing a beggar approaching, they wore looks of disgust.
"Excuse me, Princess..."
"Where did this beggar come from? If you want to beg for food, go to the Commandery Princess’ Mansion across the street."
The house servants were also hoping to receive a red packet on the day of the two young ladies’ weddings, but instead of getting a red packet, they ended up being scolded by Aunt Xue.
Commandery Princess’ Mansion?
The man hesitated again, then turned to look at the mansion across the street.
He remembered, across the street should be Duke An’s Mansion, but that family had already moved to their fief, and Duke An’s Mansion had been empty for a long time.
Underneath the lamplight, across the long street, the Commandery Princess’ Mansion was adorned with red lanterns, with the joyful character for ’double happiness’ visible everywhere.
"No good! It’s still too late. Sister’s life is in danger!"
The man’s face changed color.
Disregarding his injured body, he hurriedly rushed towards Prince Shun’s Mansion.
He would absolutely not let his sister marry that wife-cursing man, Dugu Wu!
After the wedding ceremony was over, Feng Bailing was sent into the bridal chamber by the matchmaker and Chun Liu.
Outside, there was a buzz of voices, with the laughter and teasing of Dongfang Qi, Lu Yin, and others heard intermittently.
During this, Ouyang Chenchen tried to sneak in to bring Feng Bailing something to eat but was caught by Lu Yin, who said she should come back later to tease the bridal chamber.
Feng Bailing found an excuse and sent Chun Liu out.
The room was then left with only Feng Bailing, who hurriedly lifted her bridal veil.
"There’s not much time left."
Feng Bailing listened to the noises around her; the servants and nannies nearby had all gone to ask for wine and food, and the guards had also let down their guard. If she was going to steal the royal edict, she needed to do it now.
Feng Bailing was about to take off her wedding dress when suddenly, the door opened, and first, a pair of long legs stepped in.
Then a stern face entered into Feng Bailing’s view.
Dugu Wu walked in.
