Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 145: Chapter 81 Who Passed the News to Southern Fujian

Gu Changsheng and her family, about that night’s incident, kept their lips sealed and collectively chose to forget.

Recovering from an injury was a tormenting affair; Gu Changsheng tended to the now-awake Han Qiu, changing her bandages while enduring the stabbing pain in her own back as if a cat were clawing at it.

“Damn it, life is really complicated, I can hardly stand it anymore!” After sending away the nosy neighbor Lan Zhi who had come to inquire, Gu Changsheng threw herself onto the soft couch and slapped it hard, wailing!

“What’s wrong, my lady?” Xiao Cui came in with washed fruits and saw her mistress frantically scratching the couch. Glancing outside and seeing Sister-in-law Lan Zhi just leaving, she wondered who had upset her mistress so.

“What’s wrong? What do you think is wrong?” Gu Changsheng pointed outside, her face fierce, “Xiao Cui, do you know how those idiots from Dark Camp appeased the villagers?”

Had Sister-in-law Lan Zhi not visited her, she wouldn’t have known the truth!

...

“How did they appease them?” Xiao Cui looked towards her mistress, “Back then, in the chaos of war, who had time to pay attention to that?”

“Exactly! None of us paid attention, and they found their opportunity!” Gu Changsheng complained as if having swallowed a fly, continuing bitterly, “They told the villagers that it was our family lord, my ‘husband’, a person of great moral integrity! With immense family wealth! High in power and status! That had attracted villains, who vented their anger on us, intending to kidnap but ended up issuing threats when it failed!”

Gu Changsheng emphasized the phrases ‘a person of great moral integrity’, ‘immense family wealth,’ and ‘high in power and status,’ cursing the evil minions of Zhou Mu, each one a scourge!

Xiao Cui: “…”

“Where did I get a ‘husband’? I’m still an unmarried maiden! With so many pure and simple young boys and so many graceful and wealthy young men waiting for me, how could I ever hang myself on Zhou Mu, a bad branch?” No way! Absolutely not!

Gu Changsheng clenched her fist quietly!

Xiao Cui continued speechlessly…

“Zhou Mu, that crooked tree, really isn’t suitable for hanging oneself. How do you see me?” Just then, the door was pushed open, a fragrant breeze wafted through, Yue Xilou gently waving a folding fan, shining brilliantly as he made his glamorous entrance.

Xiao Cui saw the dazzling person before her and immediately bowed her head, speechless even more so.

“Flower Peacock!” Gu Changsheng gritted her teeth from her position on the couch.

“Girl, this Tower Master has quite good looks, far stronger than the shy Zhou Mu by many folds, and besides, this Tower Master offers endless gold and silver treasures; would you consider it?” Yue Xilou ignored the displeasure Gu Changsheng showed upon his arrival, seriously suggesting.

“Good looks? Your androgynous face is close to bewitching! Not my kind!” Gu Changsheng angrily eyed his jewelry-laden attire. I’ll be damned! You’re rich and awesome, flaunting your wealth so brazenly, making people envious and jealous!

“Girl, forget about those pure and simple young boys; I doubt there are many who dare compete with Zhou Mu over a woman. Only this Tower Master dares defy his high status; wouldn’t you reconsider?” Yue Xilou continued flirting unbothered.

“If all the men in the world were dead, I still wouldn’t marry someone like you, this peacock! Too beautiful! Completely beyond my control, not my taste at all!”

“Girl, you really could reconsider…” Yue Xilou tapped his folding fan, remaining nonchalant.

“Girl! Girl! I’m already twenty years old, with a son old enough to fetch soy sauce; which one are you calling ‘girl’?” Gu Changsheng spat at him, angrily sniffing.

“Ah… don’t be immature; even with your son, you still don’t match my age…” Yue Xilou adjusted a loose strand of hair with his folding fan, smiling enigmatically, instantly causing hearts to flutter.

Gu Changsheng was shocked, staring wide-eyed at the beautiful man in front of her, uncertainly saying, “Flower… Flower Peacock… how old are you, exactly?”

She had never really asked him about his age amidst all the talk…

“Thirty-two!” Yue Xilou adjusted his Flowing Cloud Hairpin, his eyes and brows picturesque…

Gu Changsheng’s mouth opened wide enough to fit a duck’s egg; she buried her face into the couch, muttering, “Inhuman! A thirty-two-year-old old lady, shouldn’t you be aging like cabbages, damn it? And you can still look so beautiful, just let me die, I might as well die…”

Xiao Cui’s head was bowed to her chest, silently snickering.

Yue Xilou also chuckled softly, “How about it, maybe consider abandoning Zhou Mu, that block of wood, and choose me? I can teach you the Art of Preserving Youth. What do you think?”
