Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 49: Chapter 27: In My Name

It was just a sentence, yet it was filled with a great doctor’s boundless hopes for the future of medical skills!

Uncle Song stood quietly to the side, watching his wife tear up, completely changed from her earlier carefree and unrestrained demeanor, and he felt slightly comforted, bowing his head and wiping his tears as well.

After a long while, Gu Changsheng lifted his head, his eyes slightly red, and looked towards Uncle Song, his tone ethereal, “Grandfather, I truly wish to use this medical book to benefit the thousands of doctors…”

Uncle Song nodded, still remembering how the old master had been too frail to leave his bed yet still bent over it, insisting on writing, saying that the more detailed his memories, the less wrongful paths future generations would have to tread.

Lunch was simple, just stir-fried vegetables and steamed bread to stave off hunger, which Gu Changsheng, uncharacteristically quiet, finished before taking the medical book back to his room.

Page by page, he read carefully through each word and sentence, not missing any detail.

As the sun set, Gu Changsheng had just finished his dinner and was planning to rest, especially since he had been traveling for a long while without proper rest. He had just put Little Meat Bun to sleep when Han Qiu came to report that Doctor Hu, who had visited that morning, had come again.

Gu Changsheng snorted coldly. Sure enough, they couldn’t wait; they said they would visit another day, yet damn it, before the day was even over, taking advantage of the dark and windy night, they came again.

Indeed, it was a clear indication of intent!

Indeed, it showed utter disregard for their own lives!

Gu Changsheng turned, donned his home robe, and walked out, instructing Dong Lei to stay behind to look after the sleeping children, taking Xiao Cui and Han Qiu to the front courtyard.

There, in the front yard, Uncle Song was already waiting at the back entrance of the medical hall. Gu Changsheng nodded to him and walked past into the building.

Hu Yihai, in his forties with a goatee, squinted his mung bean-sized eyes, his eyeballs shifting as he sized up Gu Changsheng and his group as they walked in. Behind him followed a man in his twenties, bearing a slight resemblance to him, undoubtedly his son.

Tsk! At first glance, he had that cunning look of a monopolistic swindler.

Gu Changsheng merely glanced at him briefly before turning around to sit calmly behind the consultation desk, with Xiao Cui and Han Qiu standing on either side, and Uncle Song, his face still covered with a cloth, standing properly at the side.

“Doctor Hu’s sudden visit late at night did catch Changsheng unprepared to change clothes, excuse my discourtesy. I hope Doctor Hu will be understanding.”

Gu Changsheng settled comfortably in his seat, then turned to look at Hu Yihai, a slight smirk on his lips, showing no sign of apology for the discourtesy.

In fact, her words were quite clear: find no fault in the host for being discourteous when you impose yourself with a visit late at night.

Thus, she couldn’t even be bothered to offer a cup of coarse tea.

Hu Yihai’s expression changed, then turned into a standard smile as he greeted with a gesture, “It was presumptuous of me to disturb you. I hope Lady Changsheng is not offended.”

Gu Changsheng shot him a disdainful glance, thinking, at least you’re somewhat sensible!

“Changsheng has heard that Doctor Hu is esteemed as the head of the Liuzhou Medical Guild; may I know what matter brings you to my humble home so late in the night?” Gu Changsheng relaxed her body, leaning back comfortably in her chair, her legs casually crossed, and began checking her neatly trimmed fingernails one by one.

Gu Changsheng’s demeanor could not be described as anything but casual.

Sure enough, Hu Yihai’s son was the first to lose his temper, his face reddening as he pointed at Gu Changsheng, “You, being a discarded abandoned wife, still acting so arrogantly here. If you know what’s best, you’d hand over the medical skills quietly.”

That’s right, harboring ulterior motives and yet damn it, still needing to act tough in front of her.

“Tian Dong, step back. Do not be rude to the lady,” Hu Yihai scolded his son, then turned to Gu Changsheng with an apologetic face, “My son is ill-mannered, please do not take offense, my lady.”

This damn wolf in sheep’s clothing thought that by wearing a layer of sheepskin, he could become a sheep, damn addicted to playing the role.

Gu Changsheng was feeling uncomfortable. When she was uncomfortable, it was inevitable that she would make others feel the same. Ignoring Hu Yihai’s humble words, she scoffed and spoke, “Since Doctor Hu is well aware of his son’s rudeness, then you ought to keep him on a leash at home, not let him out to bark and disturb the peace.”

“Furthermore, it seems your son has quite the opinion about my status as an abandoned wife. To this, I only have one thing to say.” Gu Changsheng paused, then pointed a finger at Hu Tiandong, her voice cold: “It’s none of your ****** business!”
