Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 229 - 231: This Brother-in-law, He’s Quite Impressive
Chapter 229: Chapter 231: This Brother-in-law, He’s Quite Impressive
Inside the Princess’ Mansion, Feng Luochen was dumbfounded.
In a single day, there had been too many surprises.
Feng Bailing had grown more beautiful, he gained a brother-in-law, he was likely to have a young stepfather soon, and there were also a nephew and niece added to the family— he accepted all these. His mother was in good health, not just well, but she had also grown stronger.
From a frail sickly person to a Wuji Master, and even stronger than his own cultivation.
Returning to Chu City, Feng Luochen, who proclaimed to protect his sister and mother, suddenly felt that he might be the weakest one?
Dongfang Lianhua, upon seeing her beloved son, couldn’t help but tear up.
Feng Bailing was also filled with emotions.
In that past life, she had awaited this very scene until her death.
Now, her brother and mother were alive and well, Xiao Li was also still around, the family was all doing well, the only regret was her lost son.
To this day, Feng Bailing had not yet disclosed the existence of her son to her family; she was afraid they would worry, especially Luochen. If he knew the whole story, he would certainly not let off Feng Mansion and people like Dongfang Li, and now was not the time to confront Dongfang Li.
"Mother, rest assured, after coming back this time, I will no longer cause trouble and make you worry. But there is one thing..."
Feng Luochen scratched his head.
"Luochen, are you trying to say, you plan to abandon literature for martial arts. Mother agrees."
Dongfang Lianhua could tell; despite the exhausting journey, Feng Luochen’s eyes sparkled, his limbs were full of strength, and the barely visible Gang Qi churned within him.
Before, it was she who had held Luochen back; if she had let him learn martial arts earlier, his cultivation would have been more than it was today.
"Mother, you’ve agreed to let me learn martial arts. That’s wonderful, rest assured, with a famous master guiding me, I’ll go for the Martial Arts Top Scholar in autumn and once I become the Martial Arts Top Scholar, I will be able to protect you and sister."
Feng Luochen waved his fist.
"Luochen, you mentioned guidance from a famous master, what’s all this about?"
Feng Bailing could tell Luochen must have had a fortuitous encounter.
Originally, when Feng Luochen had fled from the gambling house a month earlier, he repeatedly encountered assassination attempts.
He killed one of the assassins only to find out they were all sent by Aunt Xue.
After several narrow escapes and sustaining serious injuries, fortunately, he met an elderly man.
The elderly not only saved him but also helped him regulate his meridians and taught him a set of sword techniques; moreover, he managed to successfully gather the Gathering Seal and thus took the elderly as his master.
"But halfway through, my master’s enemies found us. Those people were highly skilled and unpredictable, I was not their match and even got injured, my master then lured those people away. He told me that if I could score the Martial Arts Top Scholar in Great Chu this year, there would be a chance for a reunion between master and apprentice."
Luochen shared his experiences along the way with Feng Bailing and Dongfang Lianhua.
But when Feng Bailing asked for the name and origin of his master, Luochen had no idea.
"Your brother-in-law is quite skilled, originally a Martial Arts Top Scholar too, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask him for advice."
Dongfang Lianhua listened and was very relieved; Luochen had finally grown up.
Dugu Wu also scored Martial Arts Top Scholar?
Feng Bailing was somewhat surprised.
Despite Dugu Wu being a high-ranking official, back when Prince Shun died suddenly, he was ostracized by the Royal Family and the Prince Manor.
He was alone, did not seek help from Empress Dowager, but instead registered under a pseudonym to Participate in the Martial Arts Examination, overcoming all challenges to become the Martial Arts Top Scholar and then re-entered the military, achieving glory on the battlefield.
"I wouldn’t go to him. I’ve already decided; I’m going to join the military, before long, Prince Mu will be returning to the capital with the Mu Family Army. I’m going to sign up, and the military is also a place where I can compete for Martial Arts Top Scholar, by then, I aim to achieve honor in the army with one stone hitting two birds."
The mere thought of Dugu Wu made Feng Luochen grit his teeth, how could he possibly ask him for advice.
Feng Bailing raised her eyebrows, the Mu Family Army was under Prince Mu.
When Dugu Wu’s leg injury acted up, he could no longer lead troops in battle, so Prince Mu took the initiative to volunteer, and Emperor Yongye, for his favored concubine Princess Consort Liu’s sake, let him replace Dugu Wu as the chief commander.
After the issue of the Heavenly Stone, the borders became turbulent again, causing Prince Mu to urge the Ministry of Revenue to dispatch military provisions and rations, seeing no action from the Ministry of Revenue, Prince Mu decided to return to the capital.
"Why don’t I see my niece? I heard she’s over three years old, I’ve yet to meet her."
Feng Bailing noticed it was getting late, as her mind was occupied with Feng Xiaoli and Dugu Xiaojin, she intended to head back to Prince Shun’s Mansion before leaving, Feng Luochen curiously said.
"She’s at the Prince Manor, I’ll bring her to visit you another day."
Feng Bailing smiled.
Just the second day Feng Xiaoli arrived at Prince Mansion, she kept clamoring to return to the Princess’ Mansion, saying it wasn’t as spacious as the Princess’ Mansion; she couldn’t even freely walk Hei Dian, Feng Bailing pondered that in a few days, she would bring her and Dugu Xiaojin back to stay for a few days.
No sooner had they returned to Prince Shun’s Mansion and before even entering Wu Courtyard, Feng Bailing was stopped by the personal nanny of the Princess Consort Shun.
