Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 400: Chapter 269: Are You a Sprinkler? Chapter 400: Chapter 269: Are You a Sprinkler? Although Gu Changsheng thought Dong Lei’s mother made a lot of sense, under the current circumstances, nodding in agreement was absolutely out of the question.

Making friends should be a matter of mutual willingness, shouldn’t it?

Who ever forces a duck onto a perch?

“Let me be alone…” Gu Changsheng, in extreme sorrow, found a rattan chair to sit down.

Damn, Borjigin Nian had usurped her Cool Breeze Tower like a cuckoo taking over the nest. Now what was she supposed to do?

Was she really supposed to go and offer to talk deep into the night?

Gu Changsheng even felt utterly depressed thinking about it!

She certainly had no experience in having in-depth night-time talks with anyone…

Plus, she genuinely didn’t believe she would have anything in common to discuss with an antique princess! What would they talk about? Handsome men? Their experiences visiting brothels? Just thinking about it was intensely engaging!

“Gu Changsheng! Mother Tigress! Come out here now!”

Just as Gu Changsheng was lamenting her future life, she suddenly heard a roar and blinked in confusion.

“Has Zhou Zongbao come back?” Gu Changsheng asked Dong Lei blankly.

Damn, with that self-proclamation, there was no need to even hear the voice; it had to be Zhou Zongbao without a doubt!

Indeed, without waiting for Dong Lei to respond, Zhou Zongbao dashed over to Gu Changsheng like a storm, his face filled with rage and his eyes fiery as if he was ready to fight her to the death.

Gu Changsheng, seeing this momentum, blinked a few times rapidly.

Something felt off, huh!

“Mother Tigress! You dared to leave Young Master alone in Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower! You really must have eaten the guts of a lion-hearted leopard!” Zhou Zongbao roared as he lunged toward Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng, quick as she was, dodged Zhou Zongbao’s charging figure, but couldn’t avoid his spit flying in her direction.

“Damn it! Zhou Zongbao, are you born to be a nozzle or what?”

Gu Changsheng angrily wiped her face and looked towards Zhou Zongbao, who was stopped by a kitchen knife in Dong Lei’s hand. Her expression was nothing close to pleasant.

Damn, that spit was targeted too damn well!

“You still have the nerve to blame Young Master? Who left Young Master alone in Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower and even told them Young Master was your doorman?” Zhou Zongbao thought about his own plight and his expression grew even harsher.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng, while wiping her face with a brocade handkerchief, responded leisurely, “You indeed are my house’s doorman, aren’t you? Wasn’t it the post you insisted on taking?”

“You! You!” Zhou Zongbao, blocked by Dong Lei, pointed at Gu Changsheng helplessly and continued shouting, “That doesn’t count! It was one thing for you to leave first, but you even took Xiao Si Xi with you!”

Faced with Zhou Zongbao’s fierce accusation, Gu Changsheng innocently blinked her eyes, cluelessly saying, “Xiao Si Xi is my person. If I don’t take him, should I have left him to keep visiting the brothel? Leaving a little eunuch there would have been a blatant irony…”

She was a very decent person; how could she do such a thing as to hurt those close to her?

Zhou Zongbao, his face becoming beet-red, gritted his teeth and said to Gu Changsheng, “Xiao Si Xi might be your person, but the silver and silver notes on him belong to Young Master!”

“Uh…” Gu Changsheng paused upon hearing this, her lips twitching almost imperceptibly.

Damn, she seemed to have forgotten something!

Like the expenses for drinks at Bright Moon Tower…

Like the companionship fees for the sisters Ruo Shan and Ruo Shui…

Gu Changsheng’s expression instantly became vivid; the next moment, she had no choice but to put on a pleasing smile and look at Zhou Zongbao with a guilty expression as she wrung her hands, “Uh, truly sorry, I seem to have forgotten about that part. They didn’t make things hard on you, did they?”

Seeing this, Zhou Zongbao felt his anger choke in his throat, his eyes blazing as if they could spit fire as he stared at Gu Changsheng.

If Gu Changsheng had brazenly talked back, he would have been able to scold her a bit to vent his anger, but her admitting her mistake so meekly made it impossible for him to continue his reproaches.

He, Zhou Zongbao, poor as he might be, was still a man, wasn’t he? A man ought to have the magnanimity and demeanor of a man. Arguing with a woman who had admitted her mistakes would only damage the reputation of himself as Little Overlord Hetian.

Zhou Zongbao felt incredibly frustrated! So, getting severely ridiculed by the sisters Ruo Shan and Ruo Shui turned out to be for nothing, and he couldn’t even argue his case!

“Hmph! Mother Tigress! You just wait for me! Young Master will dig a hole and bury you in it one of these days!”

Zhou Zongbao always felt that although Gu Changsheng might be unintentional, she still seemed somewhat to revel in his misfortune! Thus, he stormed off with a fierce statement, flinging his sleeves and walking away.

“Pfft!”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing, waving cheerfully at Zhou Zongbao’s retreating figure, “Remember to dig the hole deep, I’m waiting for you…”

Zhou Zongbao, who had not walked away far, stumbled, nearly tumbling into a flowerbed nearby, his face turning green.

Why was his life so bitter! Not only did his Xiao Qiu refuse to see him to this day, but he also had such a shameless master!

He couldn’t win a fight, couldn’t outtalk her, and couldn’t bully her using his status! How was he to survive this year…

“Haha… This guy must be so ticked off at Bright Moon Tower, look at his face, he’s about to burst a blood vessel!” Gu Changsheng watched Zhou Zongbao’s furious departure and laughed unapologetically.

For someone like Zhou Zongbao who is a classic second-generation rich kid, when it’s time to delight in his misfortunes, one should show no mercy in doing so!

Who asked him to be mediocre at everything and yet so arrogantly incomparable!

“Darling, stop joking around, you haven’t told me how Young Master is really doing!”

Dong Lei, seeing his wife laughing in such an unruly manner, quickly interjected.

Thinking of his own little bun, Gu Changsheng rolled his eyes very directly, “What could possibly be wrong with him? He is living a carefree life!”

“Not to mention his head is buried in gold and Silver nests, he’s also surrounded by Beauties doting on him–what else could he be feeling but contentment?”

Seeing his wife head towards the bedroom, Dong Lei hurriedly followed, “But darling, when are we going to bring Young Master home? Letting him stay in a place like Bright Moon Tower isn’t right!”

That’s a brothel! How could Young Master stay there forever?

“Enough, stop fussing! What’s the difference whether he stays in a brothel or not? His master is the biggest brothel owner in the world, it’s not like he could remain innocent, so we might as well resign ourselves to our fate!” Gu Changsheng said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

Dong Lei, at a loss for words, looked at his wife, knowing it was futile to say more, yet he still couldn’t help but worry.

Gu Changsheng stood outside his Cool Breeze Tower, listening to Borjigin Nian’s exclamations of amazement coming from inside, and couldn’t help but feel a throbbing in his temples.

“Darling, it’s getting late, don’t you want to go back and rest?” Dong Lei asked timidly from behind.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng gave him a glare and spoke resentfully, “Of course I do! Why wouldn’t I?”

“It’s my mansion, my bedroom, it doesn’t make sense that she’s encroaching on my space and I can’t even go back there to sleep!” Gu Changsheng said while clenching her fists.

Damn it, even if it’s a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair, she has to storm in because she’s sleepy and wants to sleep!

Thus, amidst Dong Lei’s shocked gaze, Gu Changsheng, with the resolve of a brave warrior facing death, strode boldly towards the fourth floor of Cool Breeze Tower!

There was her bedroom, her bed!

Gu Changsheng’s goal was clear, find the bed, sleep!

Late-night talks, definitely not!

“Gu Changsheng, you’re back, your bedroom is really so delicate and beautiful, I really like it!” Borjigin Nian, hearing some noises, quickly appeared in Gu Changsheng’s bedroom.

Gu Changsheng entered her bathroom and began to wash up relentlessly, hearing yet pretending not to hear, firmly opting not to respond!

“Gu Changsheng, I’ve picked the room next to yours, so from now on, if we can’t sleep, we can talk properly!” Borjigin Nian, completely oblivious to Gu Changsheng’s unresponsiveness, continued to chatter away excitedly.

Gu Changsheng twitched her mouth and continued her ablutions!

Damn it, her next-door room had fallen just like that?

What privacy did she have left? What peace could she enjoy?

Off into the distance, infinitely sorrowful…

“Gu Changsheng, why do you like red clothes so much? Your wardrobe is full of them, even your pajamas are red!” Borjigin Nian, while inspecting Gu Changsheng’s bedroom, asked.

Before Gu Changsheng could reply, she continued, “The fabric is of the highest quality and scarce to find; it must have been arranged by your senior brother. But really, you look quite stunning in red, bold and vigorous, just like the daughters on horseback, unlike those pretentious ladies from Great Zhou!”

Gu Changsheng, while washing up, grumbled internally, Damn it, she’s a person from Great Zhou! Forget about eight generations back; even in her last life, she’s been a genuine Han person, totally unrelated to minority groups!

Borjigin Nian is definitely making a veiled comment that she’s an oddity!

“Xiao Si Xi, add water!”

As Borjigin Nian continued to prattle away to herself, Gu Changsheng, unable to endure it any further, shouted towards the door.

In a moment, Si Xi brought a bucket of hot water to the bathroom door.

“Xiao Si Xi, I’m feeling quite weary, could you light some Calming Incense for me? I need a good sleep,” Gu Changsheng while sticking her hand through the door crack to pull the bucket inside, signaled Si Xi with her eyes.

Si Xi, catching on, nodded vigorously and stepped back.

Finally, when Gu Changsheng had thoroughly washed off all traces of makeup, Borjigin Nian had already fallen asleep on her dressing table.

Amen, peace at last!

While wringing out the water from her long hair, Gu Changsheng looked at her peaceful sleeping face and chuckled, “Just like a child, only quiet when asleep.”

Borjigin Nian, as if sensing something, smacked her lips a few times, snuggled her head, and went back to sleep.

Amused by the defenseless Borjigin Nian in front of her, Gu Changsheng waved at Si Xi, “Take her to the next room, see what’s missing, and fetch it from the storeroom to prepare for her.”

This was her first friend in ancient times, even if it was reluctantly accepted!
