Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 93: Chapter 51: The Heaven-Sent Husband

An icy voice, yet familiar.

It made Gu Changsheng’s pores open instantly, and alarm bells ring in his heart!

Evildoer!

Dazed and stiff, he turned his head toward the direction of the voice, then froze, dashed forward in a few strides, and his hands began to search him.

“Damn! Where is the mask?” Gu Changsheng searched once but didn’t find it, and unwilling to give up, he softly asked.

Right under everyone’s watchful eyes, he just walked out of her medical hall like this!

...

What the hell does this look like!

“Didn’t bring it,” Zhou Mu replied simply, looking at the hands misbehaving on his body, his eyebrows slightly raised, but eventually he did nothing.

Gu Changsheng instantly felt terrible, damn it, weren’t you supposed to be the mysterious one? You come out swaggering like this, what mystery is left!

“Who do you think you are, it’s not your turn here…” Old Lady Wang, hearing someone speak so rudely, instinctively responded, but her words choked halfway when she saw the tall figure emerging, she froze!

Everyone followed his gaze, and then they all turned to stone…

What kind of person was this?

There was such a handsome young man in the world, unseen and unheard of before…

Dressed in blue silk with a jade crown, his sword-like eyebrows mildly furrowed, commanding a presence that was so perfect it was almost unbearable to look directly…

Gu Changsheng’s hands were still on Zhou Mu’s waist, feeling the strange atmosphere behind him, he stiffly turned his head, only to see half the street staring dumbfounded…

One, two, three, four…

Bowing down? Paying respects?

No way!

Without his signature mask, nobody recognized Zhou Mu!

This was a stroke of pure luck!

Gu Changsheng heaved a silent sigh of relief, she was a fool for only thinking about concealing that disastrous face, forgetting that his identity as the Commandery Prince was the key!

“Who do I think I am?” Zhou Mu’s icy gaze swept over Old Lady Wang, then he shifted it away as if to spare his eyes, turning to Gu Changsheng nestled in front of him, he spoke, “Gu Changsheng, tell them, I am…”

Before he could finish saying ‘Prince’, Gu Changsheng quickly covered his mouth with her hand.

Gu Changsheng looked nervously at Zhou Mu, her eyes pleading, my dear Fourth Auntie Grandma, don’t speak recklessly! If you publicly say ‘Prince’, then she wouldn’t be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths…

Zhou Mu frowned, looking at Gu Changsheng who was desperately trying to please, his eyebrows knitted in confusion.

“He’s not who you think, really, he’s not that at all…”

Damn! Gu Changsheng’s tongue tied, what was she saying… Although he’s not that, he’s at least a genuine, outstanding Commandery Prince!

“He is my… my…” Gu Changsheng, with a crappy look, glanced at the cold and demonic Zhou Mu, then gloomily looked at the hall full of people, what should I say? Friend? Lover? Damn! This is really hard to describe!

This was their first meeting since that night, she hadn’t had the chance to ask about the Gentleman on the Beam who had eavesdropped, nor had the chance to clarify their relationship…

Now, how to explain this, she really didn’t know which words to describe their relationship, it’s utterly tangled and unclear, oh God, someone save her…

Gu Changsheng was still racking her brains on how to explain, when the hand covering Zhou Mu’s mouth was powerfully moved aside and then firmly grasped in his hand.

“I am her…” Zhou Mu’s lips curled up slightly, uttering two words neither lightly nor heavily: “Husband!”

As if struck by thunder, Gu Changsheng, still not recovered, was shocked to her core…

Everyone was stunned, their eyes incredulously sweeping over the hands clasped together, then over Zhou Mu’s face, awe-struck, envious, horrified…

Such an unparalleled man, he was actually Lady Changsheng’s husband?

Yuan Bao, who had just caught up, hearing these words, stumbled and fell to the ground, his eyes wide and mouth agape…

Husband… husband… the master is truly bewitched by Lady Changsheng…

The word ‘husband’ kept swirling in Gu Changsheng’s mind, causing her usually sharp mind to crash…

“Lady, do you have anything to say?” Zhou Mu, in a rare good mood, his face slightly warmer, looked at Gu Changsheng with a much gentler gaze.

In this address of ‘lady’, Gu Changsheng was once again disordered, she had so much to say!

Screw your ‘husband’! Screw your ‘lady’!

Who is her husband? Who is his lady?

It’s all messed up, everything’s messed up!

“Evildoer! Cut it out!” It was just too much, damn, didn’t they have to kick someone when they’re down, tormenting her like this! She suddenly acquired a husband out of nowhere and became someone’s lady just as mysteriously? What kind of ** is this plot twist! Completely out of sync!

“Why must you be so angry, lady, or is it that your husband is so disgraceful?” Zhou Mu, holding her hand, walked slowly two steps and contentedly settled into a chair brought by Han Qiu, “So whether she gets married or not, what business is it of yours?”

Gu Changsheng was dully led two steps by him and then stopped.

The crowd watched in amazement as the man who looked like a deity gracefully sat down, his demeanor much like one who held court, not in a humble medical hall but as if in the grandeur of the Imperial Court…

“Evildoer, what are you playing at!” Gu Changsheng, seeing the stunned people outside, finally found her voice again, and complained in frustration.

“Or should I just admit that I am Prince Mu now?” Zhou Mu turned his head, his nose accidentally grazing Gu Changsheng’s lips as she was whispering in his ear, looking very willing to discuss in his good mood.

Gu Changsheng was suddenly at a loss for words, Damn! He had just declared himself her husband, and now, in a blink, the husband is also the famed Commandery Prince! Could there be anything more shocking?

It would only be a matter of days before the Emperor, far away in the Capital City, would send someone to kill her. Isn’t that just typical Imperial Family business?

Holy moly! This really is a huge disaster!

She truly wanted to give this uninvited disaster a good beating too; damn it, who had she offended? One by one, everyone seemed to be out to make her life miserable?

“My dear probably forgot, by the street tofu stand, you said out loud, ‘I am your husband,’” Zhou Mu reminded kindly, as if afraid she would forget.

Had she really spoken such reckless words? Really? It seemed so…

Gu Changsheng really wanted to slap herself, what was even going on!

“That was just… casual talk, not to be taken seriously…” she explained feebly, really, taking things too seriously was unwise…

“Or perhaps, we could talk about that night…”

Zhou Mu didn’t finish his sentence before his mouth was blocked again…

That night… Damn it, it really was a secret that couldn’t be mentioned. Not just mentioned; even thinking about it made her want to die several times over!

The crowd watched the two whisper intimately to each other with bated breath, the scene was just too beautiful…

The handsome man wore a face of accommodating warmth, while the woman in fiery red was no longer as arrogant as before, now seeming gentle and demure…

If Gu Changsheng knew what they were thinking, it would definitely trigger an outburst!

Damn! How was that accommodating warmth? That was clearly unadulterated scheming! When had she ever been gentle and demure? She was simply compromising, okay?

“Evildoer, let’s just stay friends…” Gu Changsheng tried desperately in a dying struggle…

“Friends with benefits?” Zhou Mu responded indifferently.

Gu Changsheng was internally wounded… Where had the cool and aloof Prince Mu gone? Could we not bring up sleeping together right now? That was a real sore point!

“Gu Changsheng, whatever you say, I can do it!” Zhou Mu tightened his grip on Gu Changsheng’s hand slightly, continued seriously in a low voice, “It doesn’t matter where you come from, once Zhou Mu decides on someone, it’s you!”

“But I am an Abandoned Wife…”

“I don’t care!”

“I also have a son…”

“I can provide for him!”

“My temper isn’t very good…”

“I’ve known that for a long time!”

“I get quite jealous…”

“I want nothing to do with the Imperial Throne!”

“I like beautiful men…”

“That’s me!”

……

“Let’s just stay friends…” Gu Changsheng conceded in defeat…

“That might be a bit difficult, so many people have heard.” Zhou Mu glanced over the crowd, indeed looking quite scruffy, having provoked her, ending up as always, in a terribly bleak situation.

Was she doomed not to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River? Gu Changsheng was speechless…

In the broad daylight and full view of the public, who could come to her rescue?

Eunuch Yuan Bao’s heart was also screaming, although their voices were very low, with his inner strength, he could still hear everything!

You guys, just so overtly flirting in front of everyone, is this really okay?

Gu Changsheng at least realized the situation was off, reticently tried to change the subject, “Discussing this topic here might not be appropriate, right?”

Zhou Mu gave another sweeping glance around the crowd, coolly replied, “I thought you enjoyed this setting.”

She’d be seeing ghosts if she enjoyed this setting! Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes.

“It’s not like it’s fun for me!” she retorted. Did he think she was enjoying this or what?

“It seems to me you are just idle and amusing yourself with these folks,” Zhou Mu remained unfazed.

Well, she had to admit, Zhou Mu was spot on… It was her idleness that made her pick on these people for amusement!

No entertainment in the ancient times! How lonely life was!

People coming for trouble was just adding excitement to her otherwise dull life. Why not play along to honor their painstaking efforts?

It’s like killing the chicken to scare the monkey and when the monkey approaches, naturally, you kill it as a warning to others, preventing all sorts of spirits and goblins from causing trouble later on.

“Gu Changsheng, even if you have a husband, how dare you strike people in broad daylight, is there no law?” a brawny man rubbed his arm and cried out.

He didn’t believe this virago could overturn the skies with one hand!

Those who were hit apparently agreed with him, nodding in unison, firm in their resolve to seek justice.

“The law? I am the law!”

Zhou Mu swept his gaze over the crowd, his voice icily haughty, his presence extraordinary.

Fuck! Gu Changsheng cursed inwardly, Damn it! When others say such things, they are courting death. When Zhou Mu says it, it’s as if it is meant to be!
