Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 84: Chapter 45: The Butcher with a Split Belly

Rumors cease with the wise, it’s true, but if there’s a hint of truth in those rumors, then truth becomes indistinguishable from fiction, and it’s all muddled and unclear!

Gu Changsheng kicked Yuan Bao out in frustration. Unable to punish the main instigator behind the rumors, he could only vent his anger on this domestic animal.

Retracting his foot angrily, he looked at Yuan Bao clutching its buttocks, looking back step by step as it walked away, not forgetting to remind it to have a good time causing trouble!

Damn, this is like the script for “Leaning on a big tree for shade”!

Have you ever seen a big tree leaning over on its own to provide shade? This is blatantly asking for it!

Zhou Mu, with old grudges compounded by new, our feud has grown deep!

...

She had originally wanted to establish herself with her medical skills, but now she inevitably had to deal with more romantic entanglements.

“You there, stop right where you are!”

Gu Changsheng roared at Mo Wu, who was quietly slipping toward the door.

Mo Wu raised his head in fright, shuddered, and stuttered out, “Lady… Lady Changsheng… it was all a misunderstanding just now…”

“Misunderstanding? Why didn’t you say it was a misunderstanding when you wanted to destroy my medical hall? Why didn’t you say it was a misunderstanding when you wanted to ruin us? Why didn’t you say it was a misunderstanding when you wanted to drive our entire family out of Liuzhou?” Gu Changsheng advanced step by step, giving no quarter.

“So you think you can decide everything just because you’re an official?”

Mo Wu, wiping cold sweat from his forehead and bowing his body without daring to raise his head, knew very well that compared with Prince Mu’s Mansion, the City Lord’s Mansion was nothing more than decoration. To put it nicely, his brother-in-law was a noble at the Court; to put it bluntly, he still had to please others to get by.

Liuzhou was Prince Mu’s fief; even with the greatest courage, he wouldn’t dare to offend the County Prince’s Mansion!

“Lady, indeed, it was my fault, I hope Lady Changsheng can be magnanimous. I assure you, I will never dare again.”

Gu Changsheng looked at the man with even greater disdain in her eyes, too lazy to bother any further, “You sure know how to act with the wind. Now let my maid tell you what happens to those who come looking for trouble with me!”

Han Qiu, upon catching her mistress’s cue, took the command to explain, “We asked earlier, do you have money with you? If you didn’t bring money, you’ll be beaten half to death; if you did, hand it over, and you’ll receive a lighter punishment.”

Han Qiu’s words were straightforward and easy to understand. Mo Wu instantly grasped the meaning, hurriedly reached inside his clothing, all the while directing the servant boys behind him, “What are you dawdling for? Didn’t you understand the young mistress’s meaning? Quickly take out all the silver!”

It’s better to lose wealth to avert disaster!

Gu Changsheng was quite satisfied as she received several silver pouches and weighed them, then looked at Mo Wu with feigned sympathy, “I originally wanted to have a fair fight with you to settle this, but you aimed for my maid instead. How could you think that my maid would be so easy to bully? Han Qiu, give him a beating and throw him out!”

Mo Wu, facing the hilt of Han Qiu’s swinging sword, clumsily defended himself without blocking too obviously, only managing to awkwardly protect his head and face, looking particularly wretched.

He knew it! That lady baited him with words, clearly intending something. Why did it suddenly change? The key was this maid!

“A lust for beauty is like a sword hanging overhead. Next time, show your true colors to me. If you dare to have designs on my people again, be ready with your coffin and shroud!” Gu Changsheng waved her hand in irritation, then turned back to the consultation table.

Seeing this, Han Qiu kicked Mo Wu out of the medical hall with a sweep of her foot.

Mo Wu’s flying body scattered the onlookers, who all dodged aside, watching him flee in an extremely sorry state with the help of his servant boys.

There were still those who took pleasure in his misfortune, albeit not so conspicuously. After all, not everyone had the backbone to stand up against the City Lord’s Mansion!

Lady Changsheng is truly formidable!

The trouble with Mo Wu was like a spring breeze from Prince Mu, blowing away without a trace.

Uncle Song, who had just left the carpenter’s, heard passersby talking about Mo Wu looking for trouble at the medical hall, and he rushed back anxiously, only to find himself in the middle of this scene.

Gu Changsheng was properly diagnosing patients, the medical hall unscathed.

Uncle Song patted his startled heart and let out a sigh of relief.

But the atmosphere in the medical hall was slightly different from the day before; the way people looked at the Lady was odd.

What happened? Uncle Song looked around, puzzled.

But before Uncle Song could understand, a commotion erupted from outside the door.

“Make way! Make way! Is Doctor Liu here? Doctor Liu, save me…” A woman’s voice screamed hoarsely, filled with sobs and panic.

“Lady, it’s Butcher Wang. On my way here, I heard that he was gored by a pig while butchering, and the slaughtering knife has stabbed into his stomach,” Uncle Song hurriedly explained as he stepped forward.
