Feng Yanfeng looked disappointed. “Three groups of doctors have come to see her already. The first was Master Chu. Then the Dugu family sent their doctors. Finally, we had the imperial physicians over to treat her…”He shook his head. “They all said that she’s beyond saving, both the mother and the baby…”

Feng Yanfeng wasn’t very fond of Feng Liu in the first place, and after this humiliating incident, he would rather see her dead than have the Feng clan’s reputation tainted.

However, when he saw how much Dugu Mengxi cared for Feng Liu, Feng Yanfeng saw hope again.

That teenager was one of the heirs to the Dugu family!

Empress Dugu herself belonged to that family!

If Feng Liu could marry into that family, would the Feng clan’s status rise with her?

Because of that, Feng Yanfeng had come to ask for Feng Wu’s help.

Feng Wu didn’t want to go, but since she owed him a favor, she may as well return it now.

At that thought, Feng Wu gave Feng Yanfeng a nod. “Alright. I’ll go, but I can’t make any promises.”

“Of course. I understand.”

Hence, they all headed for Parasol Yard.

Parasol Yard used to belong to Feng Wu, but Feng Liu had taken it after Feng Wu left the imperial capital.

She looked around when she walked into the yard and realized that the layout was the same, but the decorations had been changed completely. This place looked nothing like it used to.

Feng Liu’s screams kept coming out of the bedchamber.

Outside, a few white-bearded old men were sulking.

Feng Yanfeng frowned. “What’s going on?”

Master Chu shook his head. “We’re running out of ideas. Master Gu is inside now; I hope he’ll know what to do.”

Master Gu was the imperial physician sent here by the royal family.

“Ahhh —”

Just then, there was another scream, so loud that it seemed to tear the roof open.

It was so bloodcurdling that it even gave all the men outside the creeps.

The door opened at that moment, and a middle-aged doctor came out.

“Master Gu —” asked Feng Yanfeng eagerly, “how’s my daughter doing?”

Master Gu was rather polite toward Feng Yanfeng, for the minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel was a rather high-ranking official.

“Master Feng, it’s not that I’m an inadequate doctor, but your daughter’s injury is so severe that I can’t stop the bleeding. There really isn’t anything I can do. I’m sorry for your loss…”

Master Gu cupped his hands at Feng Yanfeng and was ready to leave.

No… Feng Yanfeng was baffled. How could it be so serious?

Feng Wu frowned. “Master Gu, are you saying that both the mother and the baby will die?”

Master Gu glanced at Feng Wu and wondered who she was and what made her think she could speak to him.

He had always been an arrogant man, and he didn’t try to hide his attitude.

Feng Wu only frowned. “That’s not right. The baby may die, but Feng Liu will definitely live.”

After that, she was about to enter the bedchamber.

Master Gu’s face darkened.

What did this girl mean by that? Was she questioning his competence?

Master Gu wasn’t going to leave anymore. Instead, he stared at Feng Wu with a grim look in his eyes. “You ignorant child! That was your madness speaking!”

Feng Wu glanced at him. “My madness speaking? Master Gu, why are you so angry? Are you feeling guilty now? Wait… are you trying to kill Feng Liu?”
