Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 153: Chapter 85: On the Issue of Climbing into Bed

“Xiao Cui, scram as far as you can from me right now before I lose it and flay you alive!”

Full of resentment, she growled at Xiao Cui before giving her a lethal glare with her eyes.

That backstabber, Xiao Cui, with not an ounce of integrity, she’ll have to take the time to teach her a lesson someday, so she won’t so brazenly betray her…

Seeing the situation, Xiao Cui made herself scarce in a hurry.

It’s a blessing to steer clear when Mistress is in a foul mood…

Before she left, she even gave Dong Lei a look that seemed to say ‘good luck,’ betraying her ally with a proficiency that would have made Gu Changsheng proud…

“What are you dazing for, go fetch water and cook the rice!” Gu Changsheng looked at Xiao Leizi annoyed and squatted at the kitchen doorway.

Daydreaming!

Euphemistically called: contemplating!

Dong Lei touched his nose and started to bustle about dejectedly.

Gu Changsheng squatted at the door, sighing again and again for a long time, and couldn’t help but start reflecting on her transmigration journey.

Alright, her disastrous transmigration from the end of spring to the start of autumn could finally be counted as experiencing the so-called heroine’s halo…

Her ‘heroine’s halo’ turned out to involve meeting two beautiful men, one bringing endless disasters and the other, neither manly nor feminine…

As fate would have it, she was incredibly close to ‘doing the deed’ with one of them…

She was thoroughly entangled with the evildoer now…

Could the trouble in the days ahead be any less? She was the very image of a transmigrated female Monk Tang!

Transmigration was always a trap, life was so relentless!

Such a painful realization…

Over here, Gu Changsheng had turned into ‘The Thinker,’ giving a perfect interpretation of Auguste Rodin’s sculptural masterpiece.

Meanwhile, Little Meat Bun, who had just woken up, rubbed his sleepy big eyes, bouncing towards the eastern wing of the main building…

Gu Changsheng only closed the door when she left her cell, enabling Little Meat Bun to enter the inner chamber unimpeded, climbing straight towards the figure on the bed.

“Mommy…”

He called out softly and carefully snuggled next to the person in the bed.

Being small has its advantages, fully exploiting his size.

Zhou Mu, with furrowed brows, turned and looked at the little figure with eyes still closed beside him, “Gu Ze?”

“Mom…”

Little Meat Bun hadn’t quite finished calling out when he suddenly sat up, pointing at the person in the bed, “Uncle Wood!”

“Hmm?”

Zhou Mu straightened his clothes and leaned back on the bed, a slight smile on his lips as he watched the various expressions changing on the little one’s face.

“Uncle Wood, why are you back in my mommy’s bed? My mommy said that men who climb into beds are no good!” This is his mommy’s bed; woeful tears…

“Gu Ze, didn’t you say you wanted me to be your new daddy?” Zhou Mu rubbed the head of the serious-faced Little Meat Bun, his voice losing its usual coldness.

“Uh… yes.” Little Meat Bun tilted his head, twisting his little fingers as he began to ramble, “Uncle Wood is handsome, Uncle Wood is rich, Uncle Wood is very powerful…”

“Mm-hmm…” Zhou Mu nodded.

“But Peacock Uncle is also handsome, and he is even richer than you, Uncle Wood!” Little Meat Bun recalled something and suddenly retracted his previous statement.

Zhou Mu’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning cold again, “Peacock Uncle? Yue Xilou?”

“Yeah… I think that’s the name,” Little Meat Bun replied uncertainly.

“Can he climb into your mommy’s bed?” Zhou Mu pulled Little Meat Bun into his arms and shook his head with resignation.

This little money-grubber truly inherited his mommy’s greed, and with such brazen entitlement.

Hearing the noise and coming over, Gu Changsheng stood petrified at the door, hearing the following exchange.

“He can’t. Mommy doesn’t like people climbing into her bed, not even me…” he said with regret, for he always did it sneakily, “Mommy said that a real man should stay off women’s beds, or else he’ll become a habitual offender.”

The ‘habitual offender’ Zhou Mu’s mouth twitched, “Your mommy doesn’t like people climbing into her bed, so, anyone who can, must be someone she likes.”

“Can it really be figured out like that?” Little Meat Bun, nestled in Zhou Mu’s arms, looked up and felt more aggrieved, “So mommy likes you, lets you climb into her bed, but she doesn’t like me, so she won’t let me climb into her bed?”

Zhou Mu, with a headache, rubbed his forehead, “No, when you grow up, you can climb into the bed of the woman you like, but not your mommy’s.”

He had never been this gently persuasive before…

Little Meat Bun looked relieved, but raised his head in confusion, “Uncle Wood, last time Aunt Cui told me if you climb into the bed, I’d get a little brother or sister, but so much time has passed, why don’t I have one yet? You’re really useless…”

The disdainful gaze made his expectations for a sibling apparent…

Zhou Mu’s face darkened immediately; after all, no man’s mood would be bright when questioned about that particular ability.

Concealing his rising irritation, he looked at the bespectacled child in front of him, “A little brother or sister doesn’t just come from climbing into a bed once or twice…”

He hadn’t yet been able to formally marry her and bring her home; how could he let her come under such suspicion?

“Then how does it happen?” Little Meat Bun persisted.

“Climb a few more times,” Zhou Mu replied, feeling quite helpless against the little rascal.

“Then try harder, Uncle Wood,” encouraged Little Meat Bun with a nod.

Gu Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat, pushed the door open fiercely, and screeched at the bed, “Zhou Mu!”

I give my regards to your damned mother!

“Hmm?” Zhou Mu looked up in response.

“Mother.” Little Meat Bun twisted his little body in Zhou Mu’s arms, smilingly looking towards his own mother’s… stomach…

Aunt Cui and the others said that little brothers and little sisters jump out from the stomach.

So looking forward to it…

Gu Changsheng followed his son’s gaze downward, his face suddenly as dark as if ink could drip from it…

“Evildoer, you really are Heaven’s punishment to torment your old mother! Corrupting my precious son, how are you going to compensate?” she walked hatefully to the bedside, staring at the man before her.

“I’ll compensate.” Very calm, very certain.

Gu Changsheng felt a lump in her throat.

She suddenly got it!

Dammit, you really want to climb into bed a few more times, huh!

Crap!

Unable to outface Zhou Mu, who had turned into a shameless, brazen-faced character, Gu Changsheng felt it was more pressing to rescue her son from the clutches of the evildoer first.

This was her retirement insurance, and if the evildoer assimilated him, she really wouldn’t have a place to cry!

“Don’t move about, you still have injuries on your back.” Zhou Mu dodged Gu Changsheng’s reaching hand with Little Meat Bun in his arms, ignoring her unfriendly expression, and rose to his feet with an air of confidence.

Gu Changsheng watched her son being snatched away, her face showing displeasure.

“Rest and heal, don’t move around without a reason. I’ll take him to clean up.” Zhou Mu, holding Little Meat Bun with one hand, pressed the woman standing stunned by the bed down onto it with the other, gave her a light smile, and walked towards the door.

Gu Changsheng was startled by his smile…

The smile of an evildoer, the poison of temptation, wuwu, she dare not look too much, afraid of getting addicted!

Zhou Mu had just reached the doorway when he paused in his step.

Yue Xilou still wore the eternally unchanging resplendent peacock attire, dazzling and sparkling under the morning light.

At this moment, he was leaning casually against the doorframe, gently waving his folding fan, staring leisurely at the two emerging figures.

Silent gunpowder slowly spreading, the atmosphere eerie and tense…

Both men stared at each other for a long time, then spoke simultaneously.

“Zhou Mu?”

“Yue Xilou?”

Though phrased as questions, both were certain without needing an answer from the other.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Changsheng couldn’t stay put, quickly got ready, and hurried out.

Then she saw the bizarre scene of two handsome men bumping into each other.

Seeing Gu Changsheng come out, Yue Xilou retracted his gaze from Zhou Mu, squinting his eyes towards Gu Changsheng.

Under his scrutiny, Gu Changsheng felt as if she had been caught in an affair…

Crap! What’s going on here?

Lookiny, would you believe me?”

Believe it! He really was just passing by!

He just borrowed her bed for a sleep, that’s all!

“Would you believe it?” Yue Xilou snapped his folding fan shut, arching an eyebrow.

Gu Changsheng touched her nose dejectedly, muttering to herself, “If it were me, damn, I wouldn’t believe it either.”

Early in the morning, a man comes out from a woman’s room, and even with a turnip head added in between, it’s hard to mask the suspicions of an illicit affair…

Zhou Mu looked at the two with a composed expression, standing still.

“Actually, we are really innocent, purer than tofu mixed with green onion…”

No damn way they’re that innocent!

They just slept! Didn’t do anything indecent! Do you dare believe it?

“Tofu mixed with green onion, huh…” Yue Xilou wore a flirtatious expression, deliberately drawing out his words.

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt like life had lost all its color…

See, she knew it, it’s become a tangled mess…

“Why bother with him, go back and lie down.” Zhou Mu put Little Meat Bun down on the floor, took hold of Gu Changsheng, who wore a deeply wronged expression, and turned back to the inner chamber.

Without sparing the suave and debonair Yue Xilou a glance.

Blankly pressed back onto the bed by Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng came to her senses and pounded the pillow resentfully, “Evildoer, do I still have any reputation left? Can I ever remarry?”

At the moment, to lock horns with Zhou Mu meant bidding farewell to the grand ambition of raising a bevy of handsome men, utterly frustrating…

“What nonsense are you thinking? I will marry you into my household with a phoenix crown and wedding cape,” Zhou Mu pulled over the cool blanket, meticulously covering Gu Changsheng, his face resigned.

“You’re the one talking nonsense! Think you can marry just because you want to? Did I say I would marry you? Have you met my standards for choosing a husband?” As if she were any Tom, Dick or Harry, to marry whenever he wishes? Daydreaming for good luck?

“Unly stoking his anger!

Yue Xilou! Truly damnable!

“If I don’t want to marry, even the Heavenly Emperor’s Father can’t do anything about it!” Gu Changsheng also got fired up, there’s no way he can force marriage on her! Try to play rogue with her, and she’ll obliterate him in a minute!
