Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot

Chapter 49 - 49 49 The Day She Gave Birth

?Chapter 49: Chapter 49 The Day She Gave Birth Chapter 49: Chapter 49 The Day She Gave Birth A blood-red color that filled the sky, staining her vision red.

Feng Bailing’s grip on the bedding loosened suddenly, her fingers opening weakly as she let her arms hang limply. The midwife reached to check her breath and shivered with fright.

“Your Highness, she has lost too much blood and isn’t breathing, we need to call the Imperial Physician quickly.”

“A whore who’s had illicit relations with someone, she’s worthy of the Imperial Physician?”

The man’s low voice echoed in the room, with the smell of blood lingering in the air.

The man’s tall figure stood there, draped in a silver fox fur cloak spotted with dots of red. The thick fox fur concealed his face, revealing only a pair of boots wet with snow, adorned with delicate auspicious cloud patterns.

In his hand, he carried a sword, blood still streaming down its blade.

“Everyone leave to receive your reward.”

The servant directed the other servants and the midwife to leave in single file.

“What about that bastard child?”

The man asked softly.

“As per your command, he was sent away.”

The servant said respectfully.

Every word was like a knife, piercing deeply into Feng Bailing’s heart.

On the eve of her childbirth, Dongfang Li had someone send her Swallow Wing Soup, and that foolish woman Feng Bailing happily ate it before falling into unconsciousness, unaware of everything that happened after.

Lying on the bed, Feng Bailing’s face was covered with ugly red bumps, her figure bloated, blood gushing unstoppably from below, her whole body a mess, just like her reputation in Chu City.

The man took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from the sword, and then set the handkerchief alight with the candle flame.

“If you are to blame, it is only because of your bad fate.”

The handkerchief fell to the ground, turning to ash. The man vanished into the snow, as if he had never been there.

The night is cold and dark.

Feng Bailing suddenly sits up on the bed, drenched in cold sweat.

That was no ordinary dream, her heartache was intense.

The child that was sent away, was her never-before-seen son.

Perhaps due to her frequent use of the Seventh Sense recently, Feng Bailing dreamt of that night of childbirth.

After that night, Xia Zhu told her she had bled profusely after giving birth, narrowly escaping death.

When she awoke it was already two days later, and only Xiao Li was by her side.

The midwife and the others from the Other Manor had mysteriously disappeared; now, thinking back, those people had all been silenced.

She was still overjoyed, believing that she and Dongfang Li had a daughter, how stupid she was not realizing what a precious treasure she had lost.

“That person must have been Dongfang Li; he knows where the child was sent.”

The ice cold in Feng Bailing’s eyes almost solidified into frost; his people took her child away.

Outside, a commotion arose, with noisy footsteps approaching.

“Ghost in the east wing! The old lady was so frightened she fainted; the lord and others have all rushed there.”

Chun Liu tapped gently on the door, alerting Feng Bailing.

Feng Bailing tucked Feng Xiaoli in properly, the little one was sleeping peacefully, restless even in her sleep, her plump little belly exposed.

Perhaps dreaming of something delicious, she smacked her lips in her sleep, giggling “giggle giggle.”

“Chun Liu, keep an eye on Xiaoli, I’m going to check on grandmother in the east wing.”

As her granddaughter, it was time to show some care.

Dongfang Lianhua also rose to her feet, accompanied by Nanny Gui, mother and daughter headed towards the east wing.

The east wing was originally Dongfang Lianhua’s residence, the largest wing of the Princess’ Mansion, complete with the largest courtyard – not to mention, its furnishings and decorations were all crafted by royal artisans from the palace.

By the time they arrived, the east wing was brightly lit.

People from both the main house and the secondary house were present, and both Feng Zhanlian brothers wore gloomy expressions.

On the bed, the elderly Lady lay rigid, her Renzhong acupoint had been pinched and she had been shouted at, but she could not be awoken no matter what.

Even Feng Xiangxue, who had broken her leg, was supported by others to come, and just as Feng Bailing and her daughter arrived, Aunt Xue was calling for Doctor Yang.

“Doctor Yang is blind; it’s inconvenient for him to come to the mansion. In this pitch dark night, where would you find a doctor?”

Feng Zhan Tian waved his hand.

“Let me take a look, I saw someone faint before while at the Other Manor, I remember the emergency treatment methods the doctors used.”

Feng Bailing feigned concern and stepped forward.

“What do you know? Stand to the side.”

Feng Zhanlian spoke impatiently.

He had already learned from Aunt Xue about Feng Bailing’s behavior earlier this day, openly asking for tribute. This unworthy mother and daughter duo were getting more and more shameless.

“Let Ah Ling have a try, it was she who cured my illness.”

Dongfang Lianhua spoke indifferently; usually quiet within the mansion, when she spoke this time, her tone carried an indisputable authority, commanding the room with something of the royal family’s supremacy.

Feng Zhanlian, momentarily lost for words, forgot to refuse.

Feng Bailing moved to the elderly Lady’s side, used her body to block the view of others, and quickly found the quick heart-saving pills in the emergency kit, pressing them under the elderly Lady’s tongue.

She removed the old Lady’s pillow, unbuttoned the collar around her neck, and after a moment, the elderly Lady took a shallow breath and woke up.

Aunt Xue watched from the side, her eyes flickering.

“Mother, you’ve scared us all. What’s wrong with you? All of a sudden, why did you faint?”

Feng Zhan Tian pushed Feng Bailing aside and started to fuss over her with concern.

“White shadows, they were floating back and forth on the beams – there are ghosts!”

Although the elderly Lady had awakened, her hair was disheveled, and her old face was full of terror.

“Mother, you might have seen wrong, the east wing room is perfectly fine. Having lived there for so many years, how could it suddenly be haunted?”

Aunt Xue shook her head repeatedly.

“You just despise me for being old! It’s all your fault. In the afternoon, Ah Ling kindly suggested I move to the west wing because of the water leakage in the east wing. I was thinking of agreeing, but you refused to. You can’t stand to see me live comfortably; you’d rather the ghost torment me to death.”

The elderly Lady’s eye sockets were deeply sunken, anger making veins bulge on her forehead as she picked up the Jiutou Stick and started to hit Aunt Xue with it.

She was a rural woman, deeply superstitious about ghosts and spirits.

Aunt Xue was hit twice by the old Lady and her eyes reddened.

Previously, the old Lady was always sweet-talked by her, but since last night, she had been restless, unable to sleep well or enjoy her meals. Tonight was even worse with the sighting of a ghost – she was incredibly irritable, and anyone who refused to let her move out of the east wing was met with her wrath.

“Mother, don’t let your anger ruin your health. It’s just a change of rooms, you can pick any room in the mansion. Tomorrow I’ll have Lianhua vacate the west wing for you.”

Feng Zhanlian was annoyed at Aunt Xue’s insensitivity tonight, and the situation seemed odd; the elderly Lady was used to hard work and had always been healthy, but these past few days she had been feeling unwell.

Feng Zhanlian thought of Xia Zhu, the maid who “died” in the woodshed; he hoped Xia Zhu’s unrestful spirit wasn’t haunting the old Lady.

With the elderly Lady’s outburst, the matter of changing rooms was settled.

When Aunt Xue left the east wing, her face was tightly drawn.

Feng Bailing, however, stepped lighter, grateful for the stimulant in the emergency box. If the old Lady who had consumed the tampered pastries refused to agree again, she promised to guarantee sleepless nights and daily frustration for her.

But… she turned to look back at the east wing – the leak was caused by Chun Liu at her behest, but how could it be related to the haunting?
