Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 383: Chapter 255: Let’s See If He Knows How To Go Home Chapter 383: Chapter 255: Let’s See If He Knows How To Go Home “Ah?”

“Ah?”

The crowd looked at Gu Changsheng in disbelief again.

Seeing them like this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

Just like this? She had completely given up hope on their intelligence!

“Wife, what do you mean by that? Why can I understand every single word you say, but when you put them together, I just can’t grasp it?” Dong Lei scratched his head in confusion, looking to others for help.

“You really are just a glutton who knows nothing but eating! What do you think I mean? How many meanings can one sentence even have?” Gu Changsheng stood up, a face full of frustration pointed at Dong Lei and said earnestly, “Xiao Leizi, when your wife speaks, she means exactly what she says! Yet you can’t even figure that out! You better stop eating, or you’ll end up having a brain just like Yuan Bao’s dim-wittedness!”

Dong Lei: “…”

Actually, this has nothing to do with poor Yuan Bao, right? Yuan Bao is just an innocent victim, isn’t he?

That’s what he thought, but Dong Lei didn’t dare say it aloud! Because he knew, if he said one more word, his wife would have ten more ready for him!

Seeing this, everyone exchanged looks and all lowered their heads.

“Literal meaning? What does literal mean?” Zhou Zongbao scratched his head and turned to Mr. Ban Shan beside him, asking for help, “Teacher…”

A teacher-student relationship, after all, please give some help! Why was the teacher so firm just a while ago, and now he’s returned to his usual calm and cultured demeanor?

What exactly happened that they didn’t know about?

“This child is unteachable!” Mr. Ban Shan glared at Zhou Zongbao with disdain.

Facing such disdain from his own teacher, Zhou Zongbao wiped his face hard, thinking to himself, isn’t it just ‘This child is unteachable’? He had heard it from childhood to adulthood, but it hadn’t caused him to eat any less or grow any less flesh! No big deal! No big deal!

“Teacher…” After comforting himself a bit, Zhou Zongbao looked to Mr. Ban Shan for help again and even more coquettishly grabbed and shook one of Mr. Ban Shan’s long sleeves.

Gu Changsheng watched from the side, his mouth twitching as he stared at Zhou Zongbao.

Damn it, this is Prince Bao?

This shameless, thick-skinned fellow is produced by the Imperial Family?

Absolute defective product! Gu Changsheng silently reaffirmed this definition!

Zhou Zongbao really had the skill. He was able to continuously lower Gu Changsheng’s expectations for the Imperial Family, and increasingly take Gu Changsheng’s values down the drain!

Gu Changsheng secretly gave a thumbs up, what a talent! The thickness of his face is probably not even half of a city wall that has taken thirty-eight turns and added two layers of bricks!

As the old saying goes, ‘A big mouth eats from all corners, a big face travels the world’. No wonder Zhou Zongbao could travel to various countries collecting beauties. The key to the problem lies here; his face is indeed “big” enough!

While Gu Changsheng was deep in thought, thousands of miles away, Mr. Ban Shan finally lost to such a Zhou Zongbao. He flung his arm, waved his long sleeve to pull it out of Zhou Zongbao’s grip, and said in frustration, “Changsheng’s Beloved Daughter just means exactly what she said, she mentioned Little Meat Bun is in the Bright Moon Tower, not this one here, but some other Bright Moon Tower elsewhere!”

As he spoke, Mr. Ban Shan thought with a dark face, how could he have ever accepted such an uncarvable student? Truly the shame of his life!

True to his reputation as the shame of Mr. Ban Shan’s life, Zhou Zongbao still looked utterly confused, even when his teacher had made it so clear.

Seeing him like this, Gu Changsheng sighed and shook her head. This one’s also a nitwit. How had she ever thought he could see the bigger picture, feigning ignorance as wisdom?

This was not wisdom at all; it was clearly foolishness!

Utterly beyond reach!

“Ah!” Uncle Song suddenly exclaims, then looks at everyone with great surprise, “The old servant just remembered!”

When Zhou Zongbao heard this, his face immediately darkened.

What? He hadn’t figured it out yet, and the Gu Residence’s old steward had a realization?

That’s unscientific, right?

“Wife, is the Young Master in the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower, right?” Uncle Song hurriedly stepped forward and asked excitedly.

Gu Changsheng leisurely blinked his phoenix eyes, nodded his head, and cast a disdainful glance at Zhou Zongbao, speaking in a calm and light tone, “A month ago, Flower Peacock had abducted Little Meat Bun to travel and took this opportunity to inspect his various holdings in Jiangnan!”

“You must be well aware of what properties are owned by Flower Peacock,” said Gu Changsheng while glancing over the crowd. “Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower is spread across major cities in the Four Kingdoms, particularly in Great Zhou. Liuzhou City, being Zhou Mu’s fiefdom and inherently rich and prosperous, is naturally an ideal choice for a brothel. How could Flower Peacock pass it up?”

“Little Meat Bun running away wouldn’t risk going to Baili Mountain with a hungry stomach, nor would he willingly walk into the evildoer’s trap. He is unfamiliar with Liuzhou, aside from the times he followed Flower Peacock to the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower!”

“With Flower Peacock at the helm of Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower, as his direct disciple, Little Meat Bun naturally holds a high position there. There is no better place for him to run away to!”

Having said this, Gu Changsheng casually spread his hands, “So, there’s no need for you to worry so desperately here. Little Meat Bun might just be hiding in the brothel, enjoying himself!”

Though Gu Changsheng spoke lightly, deep down he sent his son a thorough scolding. Damn it; he had just been terrified upon learning about his beloved son’s disappearance! His heart still hadn’t settled down!

His son was truly the apple of Gu Changsheng’s eye. Heaven knows she truly cherished him deeply. If anything were to happen to him, Gu Changsheng didn’t know what she would do!

Upon understanding Gu Changsheng’s words, everyone’s face showed sudden realization, and their anxious expressions faded away.

The Young Master was in the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower! That was his territory; he would definitely be safe!

“My dear, listen to how you’re speaking. Anyone who didn’t know better would get the wrong idea. What do you mean by the Young Master hiding in the brothel, enjoying himself? The Young Master is still just a child!” Dong Lei immediately recovered his usual relaxed demeanor, looking slightly displeased at his wife.

His wife truly had no filter; what should be said and what shouldn’t be said, she didn’t seem to know at all. If this got out, the Young Master, before even growing up, would already have garnered a reputation for being a flirt and a rogue.

“Is it my fault?” Gu Changsheng innocently pointed at herself, “He skipped out on his own, chose the place on his own, went to the brothel on his own. How is this not his own fault?”

Gu Changsheng obviously understood the meaning hidden in Dong Lei’s words, but she felt that her son, young as he was, had already visited countless brothels with his reckless Lion Tiger. It would be difficult for him not to be influenced!

As the saying goes, one is molded by the company one keeps. You can’t expect him to always be with Flower Peacock and still turn out to be completely innocent. That would be as tough as the trials on the Sichuan Road, nearly impossible!

Seeing his wife speak like this, Dong Lei wisely chose not to continue the conversation.

Instead, it was Mr. Ban Shan who leisurely straightened his robe and slowly spoke, “Since our daughter already knows where her son is, what do you plan to do about it?”

“Indeed, since Xiao Gu Ze is in Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower, I shall go and bring him back,” Zhou Zongbao timely spoke up, hoping to regain some face that he lost earlier.

Gu Changsheng looked at the two men, then again spread her hands, “What do I plan to do? I plan to go back and continue eating! Xiao Leizi, we’ve been delayed so long, I assume the dishes must be cold by now. Go reheat them quickly; I bet that the lamb soup will taste even better after reheating.” ”

“Err…” Dong Lei was startled by her words, looking blankly at everyone, unsure of what to do.

Was she really going to do as his wife suggested, prioritizing warming up the food over resolving the issue with the Young Master?

“What are you dawdling for?” Gu Changsheng glared at Dong Lei and spoke sternly, “I want to see if this cub, addicted to skipping out, still knows how to come home!”

This was certainly a case of growing wings and wanting to fly as soon as he learned to run!

“None of you is allowed to go find him at Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower; just let him stay there!” Gu Changsheng looked each family member in the eye, full of warning, and spoke emphatically, “With him not at home, I’m actually more at ease. Someone else can tend to his needs; let him enjoy staying there as much as he wants!”

The group exchanged glances, utterly speechless.

Finally, Mr. Ban Shan slowly spoke again, “That might be for the best. A true man should own up to his actions. Since he ran away from home, let him come back on his own.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng quickly nodded, feeling exactly the same!

“So, my lady, shall I go warm up the food?” asked Dong Lei tentatively.

Gu Changsheng quickly waved her hand, “Go on, go on. I had only a few bites earlier, and with all this commotion, my stomach is about tying itself in knots!”

Upon hearing this, Dong Lei immediately led several young boys towards the dining hall, moving with an air of utmost ease.

Soon, everyone began moving anew to the dining hall, leaving only Zhou Zongbao eagerly looking at Gu Changsheng, stutteringly speaking, “Mother Tigress, about those things you were just mentioning, the Soft Bone Powder and the Soul Scatter Powder… are they really that formidable?”

Her trademark skills being questioned, Gu Changsheng instantly shot Zhou Zongbao a fierce glare.

Zhou Zongbao, with a laugh, rubbed his hands together very eagerly, “Young Master means no offense. I just wanted to ask… Could you possibly share some of those medicines with the Young Master?”

Zhou Zongbao looked at Gu Changsheng with a face full of hope, causing her to feel a bit creeped out.

Doubting the sycophantic demeanor of Zhou Zongbao, Gu Changsheng looked behind him, instinctively sensing trouble, and thus asked, “Don’t you have Hidden Guards protecting you, what do you need these for?”
