Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 686: The Opportunity to Leave Chu City

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: The Opportunity to Leave Chu City

Even Li Mubei didn’t know what else or who else was behind Wu Ling’er, and he never knew that Wu Ling’er had a master; he only knew that she had left Nanshe due to her frail health and lived abroad in her early years.

After she came of age, she only occasionally returned to Nanshe, and he could never have imagined why Wu Ling’er would suddenly attach herself to Nalan Chun.

"This can’t happen, it absolutely cannot. Bai Ling has long told me that if you inherit the throne of Nanshe, you would be a great Monarch. For the sake of the people of Nanshe, you cannot give up the position of Crown Prince."

Dongfang Lianhua quickly refused Li Mubei.

"Is it because you regret your relationship with Feng Zhanlian, and that’s why you refuse to let me stay?"

Li Mubei felt a bit disheartened.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Feng Zhanlian and I have already divorced."

Dongfang Lianhua was also taken aback.

"But while you were unconscious, Feng Zhanlian came by. He seemed different from before; I always wondered how you could have fallen for such a person, but now, this version of Feng Zhanlian makes me think that perhaps he is exactly the kind of person you would fall for."

Li Mubei look somewhat desolate; he did not attend Dongfang Yong’s wedding banquet last night, but this morning, news of Feng Zhanlian’s congratulatory message had spread.

The rumors that Feng Zhanlian lacked literary talent were completely dispelled, and it was said that the Imperial Academy even rehired him to teach. This development put some pressure on Li Mubei.

Dongfang Lianhua, having just woken up, naturally was unaware of these matters, and she did not know how to explain to Li Mubei, finding herself at a loss for words just as Feng Bailing pushed the door and walked in.

Feng Bailing said with a smile.

"Brother Li, don’t make it hard for my mother; my mother really doesn’t want a second Prince Consort to come knocking. Besides, our Great Chu would hardly dare to accommodate a Prince Consort like you."

Seeing her daughter coming in, Dongfang Lianhua felt a great relief.

But then she immediately thought of her and Li Mubei’s behavior earlier; her daughter must have heard everything.

Dongfang Lianhua’s face flushed red as she scolded with a laugh.

"What are you babbling about, all this about Prince Consort and not Prince Consort."

"Mother, you really do favor him. Brother Li hasn’t even married you, and you’re already taking his side."

Feng Bailing said with a smile, then she stepped forward to take Dongfang Lianhua’s pulse?

"Why do you have time to come to the Princess’ Mansion? I heard that Nalan De led a group of people to cause trouble at Prince Shun’s Mansion."

Logically, at this time Feng Bailing should be dealing with the people from the Grandmaster Mansion; a person like Nalan De, without any real ability, could be quite a headache as he engage in troublemaking.

Feng Bailing sighed softly and revealed the matter of Dongfang Yong being detained, and after Dongfang Lianhua heard the full account of last night’s events from Feng Bailing, both Dongfang Lianhua and Li Mubei couldn’t help but change their expression.

Although Li Mubei knew some parts of the matter, he did not expect it to be so perilous.

"Brother Li, I can’t help you this time. You can’t stay in Chu City. If you truly want to be with my mother, then take her back to Nanshe, to meet your Father Emperor and Mother Empress. My mother has always been reluctant to accept you, not because of other people, but because she has always had a knot in her heart. She feels she is already wed, older than you, and has children; she thinks she is not worthy of you and is also afraid that your family won’t accept her."

Feng Bailing let go of Dongfang Lianhua’s hand. Dongfang Lianhua was in good condition, and although the curse was lethal and kept her unconscious, it had no side effects.

Right now, Dongfang Lianhua’s body had no serious issues, she just needed a day or two of rest to recover completely.

However, when she overheard Li Mubei mentioning Feng Zhanlian earlier outside, she couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed. Feng Bailing was worried about the changes in Feng Zhanlian. His transformation was indeed significant, and his sudden turnaround in wanting to reconcile with Dongfang Lianhua was also a concern for Feng Bailing.

Previously, Feng Bailing could easily deal with Feng Zhanlian, but after hearing the poem Feng Zhanlian recited last night, Feng Bailing was certain Feng Zhanlian was not the same person he used to be.

If he really was a time-traveler, she didn’t know what he would do next. She was also worried about Dongfang Lianhua making mistakes again, and after some thought, decided it was best for Dongfang Lianhua to leave Great Chu soon.

"What nonsense are you spouting, girl?"

Dongfang Lianhua felt both embarrassed and annoyed after being called out by her daughter.

But indeed, what Feng Bailing said was something Dongfang Lianhua had always kept buried in her heart. She valued the traditional commands of her parents and the recommendations of the matchmaker.

Li Mubei looked towards Dongfang Lianhua, and she did not deny it.

"If even your Father Emperor and Mother Empress accept my mother, then she will agree to you. Now that both my brother Luochen and I are grown up, and I have my own family, Luochen also has mellowed down, my mother doesn’t need to worry about us anymore. I’m also not confident in the current situation in Chu City, and I’m sure you are worried about my mother’s safety too. Without Elder Wu and Wu Ling’er, there might be others from Wu Family taking the chance to stir trouble in Nanshe while you are away. Not to mention the master of Wu Ling’er who might still be lurking in the dark, plotting something. If I were you, I would take my mother back to Nanshe."

Feng Bailing’s hand involuntarily reached towards her stomach, the death of Nalan Chun made her more concerned about the future situation in Chu City.

The appearance of Noble Consort Dugu and the master of Wu Ling’er felt like an unknown hand was stirring in the shadows above Chu City.

Although she was reliving her life, this lifetime had too many different people and events. Feng Bailing was worried about changes in Chu City, and being pregnant now; she couldn’t look after her family as well as she would like.

Li Mubei was trustworthy, and Feng Bailing hoped that he could take Dongfang Lianhua to Nanshe. As long as they could avoid the storm in Chu City and after she had successfully given birth, she would go to find her mother.

"Lianhua, would you like to come with me to Nanshe to meet my family?"

Li Mubei’s gaze was sincere as he looked at Dongfang Lianhua beside him.

Dongfang Lianhua opened her mouth hesitantly, but her daughter beside her gave her an encouraging look.

"Mother, you should live for yourself too, you don’t need to worry about my brother and me anymore."

Feng Bailing spoke softly.

Her daughter’s voice carried an endless strength, and Dongfang Lianhua felt a soreness in her throat.

Her eyes teary, she gazed at her daughter in front of her. Back when Feng Bailing was born, she had a severe hemorrhage, and the daughter born was fragile and weak. Unknowingly, almost twenty years had passed, her daughter had grown up, capable of holding her own, making her feel relieved.

Finally, Dongfang Lianhua nodded slightly, just as her daughter had said, from now on, she would live for herself.
