Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 399: Chapter 268: Forcing the Good into Friendship Chapter 399: Chapter 268: Forcing the Good into Friendship As Dong Lei stood gaping and tongue-tied, Gu Changsheng took Borjigin Nian through the back door of the Gu Residence.

It took a while before Dong Lei came back to his senses and hurriedly ran after them, anxiously asking, “My dear, how come after a stroll through the brothel, you’ve brought back a woman? Did you buy her?”

Gu Changsheng, with a headache, was about to respond when Borjigin Nian cut in arrogantly, “She didn’t spend any silver!”

Gu Changsheng immediately fell silent, looking at Dong Lei with wide eyes, feeling his temples throbbing, “Miss Nian, do you even understand what buying a woman means? And you’re still fussing over silver?”

“Hmph!” Borjigin Nian snorted disdainfully and turned her head away.

Dong Lei’s eyes moved back and forth between his wife and this beautiful foreign tribe woman, and then he saw Si Xi’s head almost buried into the ground, and he grew even more perplexed.

“My dear…” What on earth is going on?

If it were a man returning from a brothel with one or two women, that might be understandable! But his own wife is a woman too!

Dong Lei suddenly felt utterly confused! She should learn from Sister Qiu, who would rather die than allow her wife to visit a brothel!

But now it seemed too late for anything; his dear had already brought the woman home!

Gu Changsheng, with a thirty-degree sorrowful gaze, spoke in utter despair, “Xiao Leizi… ”

“Hm? My dear?” Seeing his wife’s expression, Dong Lei’s mood turned weighty.

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng’s face broke into a big, mischievous smile, pointing at Borjigin Nian, “Xiao Leizi, this is the girl I brought back for Flower Peacock to meet for a match. What do you think, she’s pretty good-looking, right?”

Everyone: “…”

Gu Changsheng ignored their stunned silence and, holding Borjigin Nian’s hand, confidently walked deeper into the mansion, “Flower Peacock isn’t getting any younger. Although he’s surrounded by beauties, he hasn’t truly settled down, has he?”

“Look at Miss Nian, she has family background, looks, and Kung Fu skills. Besides a somewhat poor temper, there really isn’t much to criticize! I think she’s a perfect match for our Flower Peacock!”

As she spoke, Gu Changsheng nodded seriously, even convincing herself with her own nonsensical reasoning!

Borjigin Nian gave Gu Changsheng an approving look, “You do have an eye for talent!”

“My dear! Look, Miss Nian isn’t one of the Great Zhou people! With hearts as divergent as foreigners, how could you find such a girl for Master Lou?” Dong Lei felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and hurriedly pulled his dear aside to whisper.

Seeing her maid being so secretive, Gu Changsheng whimsically whispered back, “Flower Peacock is a man of the Itinerant World; these folks are not bothered by trivial conventions. He’s traveled from south to north, surely he isn’t a racist?”

“Besides, don’t you think Miss Nian is beautiful? She has the tall figure of a foreigner, yet she’s curvaceous, with deep-set features and beautiful eyes!”

Upon hearing this, Dong Lei shifted his gaze towards Borjigin Nian. Just as her wife had said, Miss Nian was indeed beautiful. Even though she rarely encountered people from foreign tribes, she couldn’t find any fault with her appearance.

Dong Lei tilted his head, feeling something was off, and blurted out in surprise, “My dear, why do I feel like you’re trying to get rid of Master Lou? Am I thinking too much?”

Gu Changsheng immediately turned to look at Dong Lei, her eyes sparkling, “Dammit, Xiao Leizi, you’ve indeed become smarter!”

“So, I guessed right?” Dong Lei glanced at Borjigin Nian, who was happily bouncing around the Gu Residence, and incredulously turned back to his wife.

Gu Changsheng nodded like a chicken pecking at grain, “You did guess right! But it’s not that I want to clear out Flower Peacock. It’s that Zhou Mu, that petty evildoer, dislikes Flower Peacock!”

“This Miss Nian is the evildoer’s Little Junior Sister, sworn to marry only the number one handsome man in the world. So, the evildoer used Flower Peacock’s reputation to lure her here. When I met her, she was causing an uproar at Bright Moon Tower and got trapped in a formation. Now, do you understand?”

This time, it was Dong Lei’s turn to nod like a chicken pecking at grain.

She understood! She’d never understood anything more!

Given how much His Highness Prince Mu cared for his wife, he really could do something like this!

In the heart of His Highness Prince Mu, Master Lou was indeed a romantic rival! Whenever they met, it was like drawing swords and bows, as if they couldn’t wait to fight it out!

Getting a woman to entangle Master Lou, His Highness Prince Mu was truly capable of doing such a thing!

“Pretty tasteless, right? I also think the evildoer is getting more tasteless by the minute!” Gu Changsheng said as she grimaced.

When she first met Zhou Mu, he was a cold, domineering Iceberg Handsome Man. Later, he evolved into a clingy, troublesome spirit, and now, he was even resorting to underhanded tricks, truly broadening the lower limits of her perception!

Gu Changsheng even wondered if Zhou Mu had been possessed by some evildoer or something

“Gu Changsheng, your residence is truly beautiful; I’ve never seen such a unique residence before!” Borjigin Nian, having pilfered a tray of snacks somewhere, came flying back, stuffing a piece into her mouth and immediately speaking with a satisfied expression, “Your snacks are delicious! They’re the best I’ve ever had!”

Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Nian, who showed no self-awareness as a guest, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Gu Changsheng, let’s be friends!” Borjigin Nian, oblivious to the twists and turns in Gu Changsheng’s mind, smiled brilliantly like a summer flower and enthusiastically offered him a piece of pastry.

As Gu Changsheng looked at the pastry handed to him, he felt momentarily bewildered and hesitantly spoke, “Wait a moment! Miss Nian, I can’t quite follow your thoughts. Let me sort this out first!”

“So, aren’t we love rivals? Even if love rivals don’t show envy outwardly, we are still a bit far from being friends, aren’t we?”

Borjigin Nian waved her hand nonchalantly, “We daughters of the horseback don’t deal with so many twists and turns. We honor the strong, and I, Borjigin Nian, am considered a top female knight on the steppe, but you are even better than me and worthy of being my friend!”

“As for this love rival thing…” Borjigin Nian thought for a moment as she slightly bowed her head, then immediately smiled again, “Didn’t you say your Flower Peacock is unparalleled? I wouldn’t abandon the most beautiful for something inferior! Consider him gifted to you!”

“Uh…” Gu Changsheng was utterly at a loss for words!

“Gu Changsheng, can I live with you? I heard people say that friends can chat through the night and share joys and sorrows! I’ve traveled here from the Western Regions, and it’s been a long time since I had a proper bath and sleep. Where do you live, Gu Changsheng?” Borjigin Nian spoke while familiarly clinging to Gu Changsheng’s arm, finally showing a bit of a young girl’s demeanor. Still, she appeared much more straightforward than the people of Great Zhou.

Gu Changsheng’s brain couldn’t quite catch up, and he instinctively pointed at his own living tower.

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian exclaimed with joy and ran towards the Cool Breeze Tower.

Leaving Gu Changsheng alone, disheveled in the wind…

“Lady…” Dong Lei called out cautiously.

Why did she feel her lady had a kind of desolate aura?

“Ah! Xiao Leizi, did I just gain a friend like that?” Gu Changsheng finally came to his senses and asked blankly.

Watching Borjigin Nian already running into his lady’s living tower, Dong Lei could only nod.

“My goodness, did she give me a chance to argue? What exactly did she see in me to want to be her friend? Can’t I change that?” Gu Changsheng was genuinely filled with grievances.

There’s coercion into prostitution, but damn, now there’s coercion into friendship?

I, Gu Changsheng, accidentally made friends with a Princess of such high stature?

Although Gu Changsheng considered herself a bit of a wealthy person, she wasn’t nearly on the high and mighty level of a Princess, right?

Distance creates beauty, discrepancy fosters comparison!

Gu Changsheng felt that she and this Northern Mongolian Princess weren’t from the same country; becoming friends felt a bit forced!

“Lady, isn’t it a bit late to say this now?” Dong Lei, with a twitching corner of his mouth, interrupted his lady’s deeply sorrowful drift and pointed his hand.

Following the direction of Dong Lei’s finger, Gu Changsheng saw her two boys carrying brand new quilts, heading towards her living tower…

“Ah! Who can carry this Northern Mongolian oddity away!”

“Evildoer! I am at complete odds with you! We’re irreconcilable!”

So quickly, she had usurped her Cool Breeze Tower? What was she supposed to do? Really live together and have occasional deep night talks?

Gu Changsheng shuddered at the thought!

“Xiao Leizi, if there were a handsome man living with me, that would still be something, but a beautiful woman, what’s this all about?” Gu Changsheng pointed at her brightly lit living tower, her face full of conflict.

Pondering how, since the completion of her residence, her grand ambition of keeping handsome men hadn’t even started, yet she ended up harboring a beautiful woman…

What good does that do? What good does that do? I’m not a lesbian!

I’m a woman who likes men, perfectly normal!

“Lady, I think Miss Nian has a pretty good temperament, straightforward and easy-going, she should be easy to get along with…” Dong Lei, after careful consideration, nodded again and added, “Judging from her daring to dress as a man and visit brothels, Miss Nian should be quite similar to you, lady. You’ll definitely have a lot to talk about!”

Gu Changsheng stared incredulously at Dong Lei, confused and doubtful, “Xiao Leizi, why do I feel like you’re enjoying this disaster?”

“Delusion! That must be your delusion, Lady!” Dong Lei, hearing this, hurriedly swore by everything, “My loyalty towards you, Lady, is as clear as daytime; how could I revel in your misfortune?”

“Lady, my mother says that as a woman, having a few confidantes and a couple of best friends is essential! You should really get along well with Miss Nian!”
