Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 685: Clearing Up Past Misunderstandings

Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Clearing Up Past Misunderstandings

"Big Sister, what should we do now?"

Princess Mingxia also felt troubled; the murderer had not yet been found, and they had only their side of the story, which would certainly lead to relentless trouble from the Grandmaster Mansion.

Moreover, there indeed was a wound on Nalan Chun’s body, one that had been left by Dugu Wu when he repelled Nalan Chun earlier.

"Chunchun’s death is related to me; if there is any issue, let it be directed at me."

While Feng Bailing was in contemplation, she saw Dongfang Yong, clad in mourning hemp, approaching.

Last night, after Nalan Chun’s death, Dongfang Yong held her corpse, unwilling to let go until dawn.

When the Capital Governor’s men arrived later, Nalan Chun’s body was taken away. Dongfang Yong didn’t say a word; he just returned to his room.

Princess Mingxia feared something unpredictable might happen to him, so she stayed with him the entire time, but he then asked Princess Mingxia to return and rest first, claiming that he would be fine.

Nobody knew what was on Dongfang Yong’s mind.

"Did you do this? Dongfang Yong, think carefully, haven’t you been threatened by someone to take the blame for someone else?"

Nalan De, upon seeing Dongfang Yong, did not hide his disdain; he had always despised Dongfang Yong, yet Nalan Chun insisted on marrying him.

Now that Dongfang Yong admitted his involvement in Nalan Chun’s death, Nalan De loathed him even more.

"I’ve made myself clear; Chunchun’s death is related to me. I will go and surrender myself to the Capital Governor; please do not harass Prince Shun’s Mansion further."

Dongfang Yong said coldly.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Dongfang Yong?"

Feng Bailing was taken aback.

Something was clearly not right with Dongfang Yong; Feng Bailing asked in a lower voice, full of concern.

Yet Dongfang Yong just let out a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with helplessness and pain.

"Big Sister, if I had listened to you earlier and let you diagnose her, wouldn’t Chunchun still be alive?"

Over the past few hours, Dongfang Yong remembered the last words Nalan Cun spoke to him before death.

He also remembered the warning from Feng Bailing; she had already noticed something wrong with Nalan Chun’s illness, but he refused to trust Feng Bailing and shut her out—due to his own ignorance, Chun’er was ultimately under the complete control of Wu Ling’er.

Nalan Chun must have sought help at that time, but he ignored her cry for help; all of this filled Dongfang Yong with immense guilt.

Although it was Wu Ling’er’s master who had killed Nalan Chun, setting up the Hidden Weapon was his doing. However, in Dongfang Yong’s eyes, he was the true murderer behind Nalan Cun’s death.

"People can’t be brought back to life, and talking about it now is futile; don’t do anything rash."

Feng Bailing could not guarantee she could have cured Nalan Chun. Seeing Dongfang Yong’s state, she too was filled with urgency.

Dongfang Yong had a vacant look in his eyes and appeared utterly despondent; clearly, Nalan Chun’s death was a tremendous blow to him.

"Big Sister, thank you."

Dongfang Yong said with a smile.

"During her lifetime, Chunchun always wanted me to reconcile with Big Brother, but all these years, I have been unwilling to acknowledge him as my Big Brother. Since I was a child, I have been jealous of him; why should an illegitimate child receive all of Father’s love, while I, his legitimate son, am constantly neglected. Over the years, I have been striving to make a name for myself in the mercenary world, to step out from the shadow of Prince Shun’s Mansion and achieve something on my own. Now, I realize that all my efforts have been not so much to prove myself, but to show that I am stronger than Dugu Wu. But what are all these compared to Chunchun’s death? I see clearly now; the difference between me and Big Brother is like heaven and earth; he is stronger than me."

Dongfang Yong spoke with a somber voice.

"Wu Ling’er’s master will certainly target Big Brother again. At this time, Big Brother must not make any mistakes. Chunchun’s death was due to my negligence, and I will not allow others to harm my family again. You don’t have to worry about me; I won’t have any desperate thoughts; I will wait for you to find the real culprit behind the scenes."

Feng Bailing’s eyes deepened; she did not expect Dongfang Yong to think so far ahead.

Dongfang Yong also knew that with his own strength, he couldn’t fight against the people behind Wu Ling’er, but it was different for Dugu Wu and Feng Bailing couple.

He had to find a way to suppress the issue of Chunchun’s death, otherwise, the Grandmaster Mansion would target Prince Shun’s Mansion, and Dugu Wu and Feng Bailing would be hampered. The only solution for the moment was for him to take on all the charges, so the other party would not be able to play foul.

In doing so, the other party would speed up their actions and reveal their tails sooner.

After the Capital Governor’s men arrived, Dongfang Yong surrendered proactively. Upon seeing Dongfang Yong being taken away, the men from the Grandmaster Mansion had no choice but to leave, filled with disappointment.

After the men from the Grandmaster Mansion left, Feng Bailing asked Feng Wan to keep an eye on them, to see who they were in contact with recently, and to find out who had instigated Nalan De to make trouble at Prince Shun’s Mansion.

Feng Wan followed orders, handing over the arrangements for Nalan Chun’s aftermath to Princess Consort Shun, and Feng Bailing hurriedly rushed to the Princess’ Mansion.

Arriving at the Princess’ Mansion, Feng Bailing had yet to enter Dongfang Lianhua’s room.

Feeling a premonition, she first used her seventh sense.

In the room, she heard Dongfang Lianhua’s shy voice.

"Put the medicine down quickly, I can drink it myself."

Feng Bailing immediately paused her steps, and peeked through the slightly ajar door, where Li Mubei was blowing on a bowl of medicine to cool it for Dongfang Lianhua.

The recently awakened Dongfang Lianhua looked to be in good spirits, and it was apparent she had not experienced such close intimacy before, already blushing profusely.

Dongfang Lianhua, let alone taking medicine, could hardly even meet Li Mubei’s gaze.

After the death of Wu Ling’er and her father, the heavy stone had been lifted from Li Mubei’s heart, and he no longer had to worry about the pressure from the Witch Clan. After Dongfang Lianhua woke up, he recounted the events to her.

He also admitted that there was no romantic relationship between him and Wu Ling’er.

"Lianhua, I know I’ve made you upset these past days, I promise you from now on I will always be by your side."

Dongfang Lianhua rebuked him upon hearing this.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the Crown Prince of Nanshe. Nanshe cannot lose you; how can you stay by my side?"

From Li Mubei’s implication, it seemed he intended to renounce his position as the Crown Prince.

"I never liked being any Crown Prince. With the situation in Chu City being unclear, I want to stay and be by your side, and also be able to help Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu."

Li Mubei spoke with sincerity.
