Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 410: Chapter 277: Blissfully Confused Chapter 410: Chapter 277: Blissfully Confused “Zhou Zongbao ran off in such a hurry, he wouldn’t be going to accuse his senior brother of something, would he?” Borjigin Nian asked blankly, looking in the direction where Zhou Zongbao had disappeared.

Gu Changsheng, looking rather pale, nodded, “It seems so, right…”

Damn, she and Zhou Zongbao aren’t even from the same country!

Saying they aren’t from the same country is a bit of a stretch, they are totally incompatible!

How could the evildoer “find new love,” and she was “led astray and then abandoned,” yet Zhou Zongbao looked like he was going to accuse the evildoer of wrongdoing?

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt his mind was in a mess, completely unable to keep up with Zhou Zongbao’s thinking.

Originally, who the hell was making a huge fuss trying to prevent her from interacting with the evildoer? Was it not Zhou Zongbao himself?

How had his stance changed so bizarrely in such a short time?

“Gu Changsheng, looking at it this way, Zhou Zongbao seems to think quite highly of you!” Borjigin Nian, propping up her chin, scrutinized Gu Changsheng from head to toe and couldn’t help nodding.

Gu Changsheng responded with a curl of his lip, “Delusion! It’s absolutely your delusion! Zhou Zongbao and I are completely incompatible–our destinies conflict and the Five Elements repel each other!”

Damn, that’s Prince Bao, famous across the Four Kingdoms, thinking highly of her? What a mistake!

Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, merely shrugged noncommittally without arguing further.

Gu Changsheng, watching the direction Zhou Zongbao had left, heaved a profound sigh, “What a pity, we won’t get to see the spectacle of Zhou Zongbao causing a commotion at Prince Mu’s Mansion…”

Thinking about Zhou Mu’s helplessness towards Zhou Zongbao, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seemed the evildoer would receive another dressing-down from Zhou Zongbao!

“Indeed a pity…” Borjigin Nian agreed wholeheartedly with a nod.

She was very keen on watching dramas…

The two women complained to the heavens in the courtyard for a while, then went to the dining yard to have breakfast.

Borjigin Nian showed incredible enthusiasm for the western tower at the Gu Residence, for no other reason than that it concealed a beautiful man in seclusion!

Thus, ever since Borjigin Nian moved into the Gu Residence, Dong Lei’s chores had decreased: she no longer had to deliver meals to the Xilou because Borjigin Nian had taken over that task!

“Gu Changsheng, when do you think your Flower Peacock will come out of seclusion?” Borjigin Nian asked idly, plucking at some Asian mugwort.

Gu Changshneg, who was observing some disciples practicing their knife skills, didn’t even turn her head as she responded, “I’m not skilled in Inner Strength or anything, aren’t you martial artists supposed to know better about this seclusion business?”

Damn, she really had no clue about this!

Flower Peacock had fought countless times with the evildoer on Baili Mountain, always ending up being trounced–looking back, it was quite pitiful…

Gu Changsheng felt that Flower Peacock probably thought being trounced was too embarrassing, which was why he had started to earnestly exert himself, secluding himself in the Xilou before the mansion was opened, muttering about having gained some insight, and had not come out since…

If it weren’t for the fact that someone was regularly taking meals there, Gu Changsheng would suspect that Flower Peacock might have died alone in the Xilou…

As soon as Borjigin Nian heard this, she immediately became sad, pulling at a strip of mugwort, “My master would seclude himself for at least a year or two at a time. If Flower Peacock is the same, I might as well visit Yue Xilou first to see what that brothel owner looks like, then come back and compare him with your Flower Peacock!”

Gu Changsheng, who was originally instructing disciples on slicing techniques, paused abruptly upon hearing this.

Damn, she seemed to have always overlooked something…

“Nian…” Gu Changsheng turned around, blinking her big eyes apologetically as she called out.

“Hmm?”

“I think I’ve always forgotten to tell you something…” Gu Changsheng said, unconsciously swallowing.

Damn, these past few days, she’d been constantly bothered by Borjigin Nian asking when Flower Peacock would come out of seclusion, and she had forgotten to tell her about Flower Peacock’s identity…

Although it initially was an intentional omission, it seemed she had indeed overlooked it until now…

After spending several days with Borjigin Nian, Gu Changsheng had more or less understood her character–straightforward, somewhat arrogant, but generally easy to get along with!

“Um, isn’t my little bun the Young Master of Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower?” Gu Changsheng rubbed her hands, racking her brain about how to explain it.

Borjigin Nian nodded, “Yes, you’ve mentioned that before. At the time, I thought Yue Xilou already had a child!”

“Hehe…” Gu Changsheng laughed awkwardly, “Yue Xilou has no children, just one direct disciple, and coincidentally, it’s my little bun…”

“So… the one in seclusion inside the Xilou is Yue Xilou, the ‘Yue Xilou of Spring Breeze ignoring the Blush of a Hundred Flowers’…”

“Yikes!” Borjigin Nian exclaimed, jumping up and shouting, “Gu Changsheng, you actually dared to deceive Granny!”

Quick-witted Gu Changsheng turned and ran the moment Borjigin Nian lunged at her, yelling to the five disciples behind her as she fled, “Keep practicing, I need to save my life for a while…”

The five young disciples sent by Elder Yhan from the Bozhou Medicine Club shook their heads helplessly. They had been in Liuzhou for three to four months, cutting vegetables and herbs all that time, but in just this half day, they realized, just in terms of slicing herbs, they were far inferior!

Embarrassed, let’s continue the practice!

“Nian, listen to me, I absolutely didn’t mean to deceive you!”

Gu Changsheng explained to Borjigin Nian, who was relentlessly chasing him, as he circled around a rockery.

“Granny believes you, my foot! You didn’t do it unintentionally, you did it on purpose!” Borjigin Nian replied bluntly. She swung her whip, wrapping it around a nearby branch to leverage herself over the rockery.

“Damn! Are you serious!” Gu Changsheng exclaimed in shock, dodging the returning whip and grabbing a rock beside him, quickly escaping Borjigin Nian’s attack range.

“Gu Changsheng, you dare to run! Letting you toy with granny, I’ll see to it that I whip your ass raw today, and beat you until you’re searching the ground for your teeth!” Borjigin Nian fumed, eyes wide, baring her teeth as she charged towards Gu Changsheng.

Si Xi, who had been trailing far behind the two, blinked his eyes joyfully and called out to the shadows, “Ning Er, with Princess Nian sparring with our lady, have we dodged a bullet here?”

Ning Er in the shadows nodded absolutely.

She had followed Changsheng’s Mother ever since they left Baili Mountain, witnessing every little bit of her progress.

A woman with the tenacity and courage to challenge herself and push beyond her limits again and again!

According to Changsheng’s Mother, it’s common to be harsh on others, but only those who are harsh on themselves can consistently stand invincible!

With Princess Nian accompanying her, it was clear that Changsheng’s Mother was much happier, and the days were no longer as monotonous and bleak as before…

“Nian! You actually messed up my hair!” Gu Changsheng, unsuspecting, had his red hair ribbon whipped off by Borjigin Nian, and he started jumping and yelling.

Borjigin Nian saw this and scoffed coldly, “Who asked you to tear Granny’s skirt?”

“You dare to call yourself granny when you aren’t even older than me, trying to act so senior, watch out!” Gu Changsheng pretended to be angry and roared, lunging towards Borjigin Nian.

Si Xi laughed, shaking his head as he watched the two entangled and playing wildly, covering his mouth to snicker.

Gu Changsheng felt that if Miss Huo didn’t come to cause trouble, he would be blissfully ignorant; life was actually quite good…

…

Sycamore Court of Prince Mu’s Mansion.

Huo Shuixian listened to Ru Ge’s report with a furious face and angrily threw her scroll onto the floor, grinding her teeth, “It must be that bitch Gu Changsheng! She must have instigated His Highness Prince Bao to cause this uproar!”

She and Brother Mu were just beginning to enjoy themselves when His Highness Prince Bao came to accuse them furiously! Stirring up a scene in the County Prince’s Mansion wasn’t enough, he had to make it widely known!

How could she not be furious?

She had served for four years as a study companion in Prince Bao’s Fulu Palace; four years of affection and yet to be seen as less than a lowly abandoned wife!

Huo Shuixian’s jealousy raged like a stormy sea; why, in what way, was she inferior to that woman, that even His Highness Prince Bao spoke on her behalf?

What promiscuous beginnings and wrongful affections! She was the one who has been Brother Mu’s childhood sweetheart!

Regardless of others, His Highness Prince Bao, a man grown up in the Fulu Palace, how could she not know?

Although there were no rumors among the public, she knew that the current Emperor’s throne was one that Prince Bao had renounced! And Brother Mu was brought up solely by him!

“Brother Mu wouldn’t take His Highness Prince Bao’s words and go back to that bitch Gu Changsheng, would he?” Huo Shuixian furrowed her brows as she fretfully muttered to herself.

Given Brother Mu’s regard for His Highness Prince Bao, that possibility was indeed plausible…

The very thought threw Huo Shuixian into turmoil.

Ru Ge watched her lady fretting back and forth with worried brows, feeling anxious herself.

“Miss, the reason His Highness Prince Bao favors Gu Changsheng might be solely because of his persistent thoughts about Han Qiu. If we could find Han Qiu, he would surely be grateful to Miss, and definitely wouldn’t obstruct Prince Mu and Miss’s union,” Ru Ge thought for a moment before slowly speaking.

Huo Shuixian shook her head at the words, “It’s not that easy. The world is vast; searching for one person is like searching for a needle in the ocean. Even His Highness Prince Bao hasn’t found her, where do we even start?”

Han Qiu! She, Huo Shuixian, would remember her!

“Miss, what should we do now? If Prince Mu really listens to His Highness Prince Bao, then…” Ru Ge asked worriedly.

At these words, a sly look flashed through Huo Shuixian’s eyes.

No matter how influential His Highness Prince Bao was, he was not someone she could contend with! But that bitch Gu Changsheng was different!

As long as Gu Changsheng ceased to exist in this world, no matter what His Highness Prince Bao said, Brother Mu could never return to her!

If direct means would not work, then she would resort to covert actions!

She swore to eradicate the hidden threat of Gu Changsheng!

“Miss! Miss! Nanny Xu is back!”

The sudden voice of Ru Yu in Sycamore Court left Huo Shuixian brimming with joy as she hastened to meet her.
