Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 13 - There Are No Ugly Women in the World

Late at night, Feng Bailing was half-asleep, half-awake on the soft couch.

The words spoken by Jia Xiazhu were like bone-eating maggots, making her toss and turn, unable to sleep.

She remembered the night she gave birth at the Other Manor.

It was during labor that she almost lost her life to a premature birth and massive bleeding after eating the bird's nest sent by Feng Xiangxue; the person attending her birth was Xia Zhu...

In a daze, it wasn't until the rooster crowed that Feng Bailing finally fell into a deep sleep.

Feng Bailing was awakened by Nanny Gui, who had prepared a new batch of herbal medicine as ordered by Feng Bailing.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension was no longer a difficult disease to treat in the 22nd century, but in this era, lacking medical equipment and specific medications, using traditional medicine was actually the most appropriate treatment method.

"There is no problem with the medicine; take it after meals three times a day. Also, go to the storeroom and get some Wild Ginseng. My mother has been ill for so long, her qi and blood are weak. To get out of bed, she must use ginseng to replenish qi and nourish blood."

Feng Bailing's treatment plan was to stabilize the blood pressure first, then complement it with other medications to restore Dongfang Lianhua's health.

Nanny Gui showed a troubled expression.

"Angelica dahurica and red sage are common herbs, which can be taken freely from the storeroom, but ginseng is a precious medicinal material, managed by Aunt Xue. Normally in the mansion, only the master, the second master, and the matriarch are allowed to use it."

Upon hearing this, Feng Bailing's eyebrows shot upward.

"My mother is the matriarch of the Princess' Mansion, and even she requires approval to consume a few ginseng roots? Who established such a rule?"

"It was the matriarch. Miss, you've been away from the mansion for several years, and the rules have changed. I, the old servant, am useless and have never been able to get the ginseng."

Nanny Gui's old face was filled with helplessness.

She too felt pity for the frail Princess and wanted to brew ginseng tea, but each time she was dismissively sent away by the people in the storeroom with insincere excuses.

The matriarch was the Prince Consort's biological mother. When the Prince Consort achieved success, the matriarch, disregarding the Princess' opposition, moved in with the second master's family to the Princess' Mansion and has never been on good terms with the Princess.

In those years, Feng Bailing, not realizing the intricacies, always felt that the matriarch was elderly and had endured many hardships raising her two sons, so she would always subtly side with the matriarch, to the Princess's often chagrin.

"The rules of the mansion need to change."

Feng Bailing took the Coix seed water that Nanny Gui had the maid bring and moistened her throat. Given the matter involved the Feng Family's matriarch, it required careful long-term planning.

"The master sent people several times early in the morning, asking for the Miss to come over for questioning, probably about Uncle Wang's affair."

Nanny Gui said anxiously; with Uncle Wang dead, the nannies and maids in the west wing were also restless.

"All of you, keep what happened last night to yourselves."

Feng Bailing paid it no mind and dismissed everyone around her. Facing the copper mirror, she began performing a facial massage to drain the lymphatic system. After a full round of massage, the swelling on her face had subsided significantly, and even her eyes looked larger.

Feng Bailing remembered that as a child, she was beloved by all with her appearance resembling Dongfang Lianhua: fair skin, beautifully shaped facial features, but it was a pity that later she developed acne and put on weight—she didn't know how she would look as an adult.

"Indeed, there are no ugly women in the world, only lazy ones."

From a doctor's perspective, if this face issue was just caused by hormonal imbalances, it wouldn't be difficult to treat.

Avoiding sweets and spicy foods, getting plenty of sleep, drinking more water, and exercising. After a night of sleep, the bumps on her face had reduced a lot. With a bit of glycolic acid exfoliation, she could return to her original appearance within a month.

Feng Bailing remembered that the second layer of the comprehensive emergency medical box used to contain her cosmetics.

In the harsh climates of battlefields, her skincare products were specially made and highly effective.

Casually opening the emergency box, she recalled that the Seventh Sense had not yet fully recovered, perhaps preventing her from opening the second layer.

As she opened the first layer, Feng Bailing's eyes lit up.

Inside the box were several vials of medicine, a new first aid kit, two pieces of chocolate... What surprised her most was the addition of a portable blood pressure monitor.

She then attempted to open the second layer, and it opened.

Inside were her usual cosmetics and skincare products, including the glycolic acid meant for exfoliation.

But when she tried to open the third layer, it wouldn't budge.

"The Jade Pendant is still somewhat useful."

Feng Bailing's face was filled with joy; it must be because of Dugu Wu's Jade Pendant.

The third layer, unlike the first and second layers, has little immediate use, she will wait until her seventh sense is fully restored before activating it.

Feng Bailing busily applied it to her own face.

In Feng Mansion's Flower Hall, Feng Zhanlian was fuming with rage.

"How preposterous! I have called her several times. That disobedient daughter is defying heaven, completely disregarding me, her father!"

That night, both father and daughter, Feng Zhanlian and Feng Xiangxue, had a difficult time, as seen by Feng Zhanlian's two huge bags under his eyes.

Feng Xiangxue also had two dark circles under her eyes.

Anyone who trips at their doorstep and ends up sitting on a corpse would lose sleep.

Both members of the Feng Family were haunted by the image of Uncle Wang's face, with blood streaming from all seven orifices.

"Who provoked such a rage in you so early in the morning, Father?"

Feng Bailing sashayed in, dressed in a maple-leaf red brocade skirt with a water-blue scarf over her face, followed by Nanny Gui.

Feng Xiangxue stood up and curtsied, gently dabbing the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Sister Ling, Uncle Wang is dead."

"Dead, how did he die?"

Feng Bailing feigned surprise.

"Who said he's dead? Someone saw him go to the west wing, not long after, he died."

Feng Zhanlian's temples throbbed with anger, knowing that Uncle Wang was brought from his hometown, his childhood page, and a trusted confidante.

"There is such a matter. Uncle Wang was here to deliver medicine and mentioned his legs hurting before leaving early. Father, as you know, his leg pain in winter is an old issue. Out of respect for an elder in the house, I didn't insist he stay."

Feng Bailing responded smoothly.

"Uncle Wang died of poisoning."

Feng Xiangxue mourned.

"Was it the poison of Guizhi that killed him?"

Feng Bailing gasped.

"Indeed, it was you! You wicked daughter, you poisoned Uncle Wang!"

Feng Zhanlian slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Father, what are you saying? On regular days, I cannot even bear to kill a chicken, let alone a person. Last night, I smelled the scent of Cao Wu Wine on Uncle Wang. When I was at the Other Manor, I heard of someone dying from drinking such wine. I warned him last night, but he did not listen."

Feng Bailing shook her head and sighed.

Cao Wu Wine?

Feng Zhanlian and his daughter were stunned, and Feng Xiangxue hurriedly ordered someone to search Uncle Wang's room.

"Master, several jars of Cao Wu Wine were found in Uncle Wang's room, which he used regularly to alleviate rheumatic pain. There was also a smell of alcohol on Uncle Wang's body."

The servant came back and reported.

Dead silence filled the Flower Hall.

Feng Bailing leisurely sipped her tea.

Uncle Wang suffered from rheumatism, and the scent of Cao Wu Wine was also detected by Feng Bailing last night, which allowed her to set this trap without seeming suspicious.

"The arrangement for Uncle Wang's funeral has been handed over to the servants. Father has been confused; how could you suspect Sister?"

Feng Xiangxue reproached, giving Feng Zhanlian a meaningful look, and Feng Zhanlian, understanding, coughed lightly.

"There is one more thing. Tomorrow is the Spring Banquet in the palace, which you always disliked attending. Just like the previous years, Xiangxue will go on your behalf this year."
