Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 51 - The Heart of Parents Worldwide (Part 1)

That money was still hidden at Doctor Yang’s.

By the time Feng Zhan Tian arrived at Doctor Yang’s residence, he found the Yang Mansion had been sealed off, and the government had taken away all the possessions, including those from the separate residences of the two concubines Doctor Yang kept outside.

Feng Zhan Tian’s legs went weak from fear, and he returned to Feng Mansion, listless and dispirited.

One thought crossed his mind: the government’s reach was truly vast!

In the third quarter of the afternoon, Chuyue Tower was still a bustling hive of activity.

Merchants coming from the north and south, upon reaching Chu City, all desired to taste the famous Chuyue Tower’s delectable dishes.

“Of course, the government doesn’t have that kind of skill, this time it is all thanks to me.”

The speaker seemed about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a common brown cloth. His features were plain, easily lost in the crowd, except for a dimple on his chin and lips of moderate thickness that spoke to a hearty appetite.

Sitting across from him was Feng Bailing, with Chun Liu standing by and Feng Xiaoli puffily-cheeked at the side, eating just as heartily.

The table was filled with over a dozen different kinds of small dishes and desserts.

Gong Zhu’s eyes were smiling joyfully.

Chuyue Tower truly lived up to its reputation!

The roasted duck here was succulent with a shiny red glaze, its fatty skin not greasy, and tender meat. Wrapped in thin pancakes with some scallions and cucumber strips, one bite revealed a secret sauce that melted in the mouth, making one almost swallow one’s tongue.

In the past, whenever he came, it would all be sold out. Today indeed brought good fortune; anything he wanted to eat was available!

Just as he reached out his hand, the last piece of duck was swooped up by a plump little hand.

“Could it be you’re my daughter? With a shared voracious appetite like mine?”

Gong Zhu noticed that his favorite dishes had been cleared clean.

“My daddy is much more handsome than you!”

Feng Xiaoli proudly belched and then snatched up two pieces of osmanthus cake.

Feng Bailing took the osmanthus cake, feeding Feng Xiaoli a piece of hawthorn cake instead. Recently, she also noticed Feng Xiaoli’s exceptional intuition, which was incredibly accurate.

Feng Xiaoli had never been fond of getting close to Xia Zhu, but her attitude was much better towards Gong Zhu.

“Is this all the information we have about Nalan Yan’er?”

Gong Zhu came for a follow-up treatment and brought some intelligence on Nalan Yan’er. According to the report, Nalan Yan’er was almost flawless, without any shortcomings.

“I didn’t manage to handle this matter well, but I compensated with information from Xinglin Spring, which should match the price you asked for.”

Gong Zhu’s face showed embarrassment.

Someone even the Xingxiu Sect couldn’t fully investigate must have issues.

“Doctor Yang’s life, however, is not as valuable as yours.”

Feng Bailing took a gentle sip of tea.

Seeing the situation, Gong Zhu reluctantly pulled out an account book.

“There is also evidence of Feng Zhan Tian and Yang Shoucai embezzling profits from Xinglin Spring.”

Over the years, Doctor Yang and Feng Zhan Tian had colluded and reaped many illicit benefits, hiding the money in houses owned by their mistresses. Altogether, the amount came to a staggering 300,000 Silver Taels.

“Later, when I give you the acupuncture treatment, keep an eye on Xiao Li and Chun Liu for me.”

Feng Bailing got up with a smile. She walked outside of Chuyue Tower, having already noticed a figure lingering at the door.

The future top scorer, Su Wang, would glance at Chuyue Tower now and then, hesitating to enter such a place.

“Mr. Su.”

Feng Bailing approached and bowed in greeting.

Su Wang, upon seeing Feng Bailing, though unable to discern her features, somehow felt a sense of awe upon meeting the Commandery Princess’s gaze and dared not look directly.

“Commandery Princess, I’ve come to thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to retrieve the Silver and get some justice.”

After the government raided Doctor Yang’s residence, the confiscated Silver Tael was distributed among the deceived populace, an act which also helped Xinglin Spring regain some reputation.

“How is your mother’s illness?”

Feng Bailing asked with a smile.

Mentioning his mother, Su Wang hesitated before speaking,

“My mother refuses to take the medicine. Besides coming to express my gratitude, I also wish to return the medicine to the Commandery Princess.”

Su Wang produced the medicine.

“Does the Old Madam not trust me?”

Feng Bailing wasn’t surprised; she wasn’t a doctor, so it was only natural for the Old Madam not to trust her.

“My mother just doesn’t want to burden me, afraid of owing a favor to the Commandery Princess.”

Su Wang shook his head, feeling ashamed to face Feng Bailing. Now that he knew of Feng Bailing’s identity, his tone became significantly more distant.

“Let me go see her.”

Feng Bailing understood well that Su Wang was a filial son, full of knowledge and possessing a proud spirit, keen on realizing his ambitions. His mother, who had raised such a son, could not be an ordinary old woman; she must fear being leveraged to compromise Su Wang’s principles.

After slight hesitation, Su Wang led Feng Bailing back to his dwelling.

Calling it a dwelling was a bit of a stretch—it was nothing more than an abandoned cattle shed of a common city household, with only three walls and a roof piled with thatch, it was hard to imagine how Su Wang and his mother survived the winter.

Approaching the shed, they heard the sound of pots and pans crashing.

“I will not take that medicine. If you sacrifice your future for an old woman like me, what face will I have to meet your father in the afterlife?”

The old woman said, choking back sobs.

“Mother, if your son can’t even take care of you, what future is there to speak of?”

Su Wang sighed deeply.

“Old Madam Su.”

The woman’s voice was clear and melodious, as refreshing as the sound of spring water. The old woman inside had gray hairs among her black ones, and her clothes were tattered but clean. Despite her illness, her hair was meticulously combed.

In his past life, although Su Wang had become the top scorer, Mrs. Su had not lived to see that day.

“The love of parents in the world is most profound, their toils and tears imbue into their children’s being. They exhaust their hearts and efforts for their offspring, such is the pitiable love of parents under heaven!”

Feng Bailing helped the Old Madam Su lie down, and with a simple verse, brought tears to both her and Su Wang’s eyes.

Su Wang’s robe was soaked with tears, finding Feng Bailing to be eloquent and refined, not at all like the rumored Feng Sanwu!

Mrs. Su looked up to see a woman wearing a light veil, revealing a pair of clear, deep black eyes, her demeanor far from ordinary.

“Young lady, who exactly are you…”

Before Mrs. Su could ask her question, a loud boom was heard as the cattle shed collapsed with a crash, and several dark figures rushed in.
