Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 469: Chapter 328: How Dare You Hurt My Doorman

Gu Changsheng sat upright in the reception hall on the second floor of Longevity Medical Hall and asked Dong Lei, who was beside him, ”This way of receiving guests, it’s formal and grand, isn’t it?”

Suddenly called from the kitchen, Dong Lei puckered her lips and responded, ”My lady, even when His Highness Prince Mu and His Highness Prince Bao visited, I have never seen you take it so seriously. If this isn’t considered formal and grand, then what is?”

Gu Changsheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled proudly, ”Uncle Song has trained these dozen lads very well, they are humble and mannerly yet still true to themselves, I quite like them.”

Dong Lei thought for a moment, nodded deeply in agreement then instantly asked again, puzzled, ”But, my lady, why open the main door so formally for the guests? Could it be that some remarkable person is coming?”

Gu Changsheng shook his head and explained hesitantly, ”I’m not sure either, I only know that the visitor made even Zhou Mu, that evildoer, wary and cautious, he must be extraordinary!”

Upon hearing this, Dong Lei immediately composed herself, if even His Highness Prince Mu took the matter to heart, this was definitely not an ordinary person!

She must respond carefully to avoid embarrassing her lady!

...

Outside Longevity Medical Hall, Yhan Qinrui looked at the eight children welcoming the guests, her face full of puzzlement.

”Really acting like a big household here, look at this display, are they trying to intimidate our heir’s wife?” Qiu Yue said scornfully, glancing at the children at the door and snorting coldly.

”Heir’s wife, we must not let Gu Changsheng’s schemes succeed. If we just walk in so meekly after such a display, wouldn’t it boost her prestige?” Chun Hua whispered in Yhan Qinrui’s ear.

Yhan Qinrui’s face darkened as she looked at the wide-open main gate of Longevity Medical Hall and barely nodded.

Understanding her gesture, Chun Hua and Qiu Yue immediately stepped forward in unison.

”Halt! Our heir’s wife has graced this place, is it up to you few doormen and family servants to welcome her in?” Chun Hua said disdainfully.

”What are you standing around for? Go and call your lady out to welcome her!” Qiu Yue yelled angrily, raising her voice.

The heir’s wife?

Upon hearing about Yhan Qinrui’s identity, including the brothers Song Mu and Song Lin, everyone was taken aback and exchanged glances.

”The heir’s wife? Which heir’s wife?”

”One can tell she is from the Capital City, which is filled with imperial relatives and nobles. There can be ’this wife’ and ’that wife’ there, right?”

”Looking at this situation, I’m afraid the visitors mean no good!”

”I don’t think so, that heir’s wife looks quite cultured and reasonable!”

”...”

Onlookers murmured among themselves.

Hearing the voices around them, Song Mu and Song Lin’s faces immediately darkened.

The heir’s wife?

What of the heir’s wife?

His Highness Prince Mu often visited the Gu Residence, and never made such a fuss!

His Highness Prince Bao was also there, and he was very approachable!

Who did this heir’s wife think she was?

Did they think they were some greenhorn kids to be ordered around?

”Halt! What an ungracious madam! It was you who repeatedly sought to see my lady. It’s rare for my lady to find time in her busy schedule to meet you, and yet you dare to act so pretentious!” Song Mu stared and stood with hands on hips, suddenly forgetting his manners for welcoming guests.

”Madam, if you wish to see my lady, then follow us inside the residence, otherwise, please leave!” Song Lin also spoke with a dark face.

The onlookers’ whispering didn’t go unnoticed.

And it seemed like the people accompanying the heir’s wife really had ill intentions!

”Is this your way of treating guests?” Qiu Yue retorted defiantly.

Upon hearing this, Song Mu immediately glared back, ”My lady often says, ’uninvited guests, the host may not entertain! You are just uninvited!”

”Let me tell you, we at the Gu Residence have never done this before since the day we opened our doors for guests. Don’t take advantage and act cute, still expecting my lady to come out and welcome you! Who do you think you are!”

”Impudence!”

”Audacity!”

Several angry shouts erupted in succession, led by Housekeeper Yan, with the guards who accompanied Yhan Qinrui immediately drawing their swords, glaring fiercely!

The situation suddenly escalated with drawn swords...

Unmoved, the brothers Song Mu and Song Lin stood in front of the eight children, gasping for air in anger.

”What? You think you can just burst in here? Look up and see clearly! The Gu Residence is not a place where any Tom, Dick, or Harry’s heir’s wife can just barge into!” Song Mu said, hands on his hips, displaying a defiance against authority.

”Arrogant child!” Housekeeper Yan yelled angrily, ignoring Yhan Qinrui’s attempt to speak out, and immediately leapt forward.

”Oh my god! They mean business!” Seeing this, Song Mu cried out and ducked behind Song Lin.

Housekeeper Yan, driven by sheer frustration, didn’t care for anything else and followed like a tenacious pest.

Suddenly, the scene in front of Gu Residence turned chaotic, Housekeeper Yan’s sword was about to strike Song Mu and Song Lin, when in a flash, a redder-than-blood figure dashed out from the main gate, her slender fingers fortuitously pinching the wrist Housekeeper Yan held his sword with...

”What a temper! What a grand display! Hmph!” Gu Changsheng pulled up Song Mu falling to the side, while sternly speaking.

”Let go! Offending an official’s kin deserves punishment! Who dares to stop me?” Housekeeper Yan’s old face turned red as he struggled a few times but couldn’t free himself and burst out angrily!

Ever since Gu Changsheng appeared, Yan Qinrui had been gaping at her, stunned...

”Who dares to stop you? Ha ha...” Gu Changsheng stood on the steps, leaning over to look down at Housekeeper Yan, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes as she confidently said, ”I! I dare to stop you!”

”To come to my residence to see me and not enter when the main door is wide open, yet dare to utter wild words and injure my doorman!”

”Heir’s wife, is this the manners and upbringing of the Capital City Marquis Mansion? Do you really think I, Gu Changsheng, am a dead decoration?”

After Gu Changsheng finished speaking, the malevolent Qi in her eyes intensified, and she forcefully flung her hand!

Instantly, Housekeeper Yan’s body flew like a kite with its string cut towards Chun Hua and Qiu Yue, who were closest to him!

The scene suddenly went out of control, Chun Hua and Qiu Yue panickily watching the suddenly flying Housekeeper Yan and stumbling to catch him.

”Ah!”

”Exhale!”

The onlookers also sucked in a breath of cold air, struggling to swallow.

An idea simultaneously struck everyone’s mind: Lady Changsheng truly lives up to her name, always so domineering and robust! When she says she’ll act, she really does!

”You... you’re Gu Changsheng?”

Ignoring the three who tumbled together, Yan Qinrui stepped forward in disbelief, her voice trembling as she asked.

The woman in front of her, dressed in a blood-red gown, exquisitely beautiful, with bold and arrogant eyes; was she Gu Changsheng? The rumored humble, weak, low-born, and ordinary-looking Gu Changsheng?

No! No! This can’t be possible!

How could this strikingly beautiful woman, so different in style from Huo Shuixian, be the disdainful Gu Changsheng of the Capital’s elite families!

Yan Qinrui couldn’t help but shake her head!

She didn’t believe it! She couldn’t believe this was true!

She had seen Gu Changsheng in the Capital a few times before; she always kept her head down and hid behind the crowd, always so meek, how could she be the dazzling woman before her, far surpassing her in beauty?

Gu Changsheng, looking displeased, stood on the steps, gazing down at the woman below, and asked indifferently, ”Are you the one they speak of, the superbly noble heir’s wife?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Qinrui suddenly felt a bit intimidated, ”I... I...”

Being an heir’s wife seemed not so boastful in front of Gu Changsheng...

But... she couldn’t lose!

Even if Gu Changsheng’s appearance was stunning, she was nevertheless divorced!

Yan Qinrui was still the heir’s wife!

In an instant, Yan Qinrui had gathered her composure, lifted her hand to adjust her veil, and took a step forward with the full poise of a noble lady, giving a slight bow, ”Qinrui has seen elder sister! It’s been a few years, and elder sister has changed a lot; Qinrui didn’t recognize you immediately! It’s Qinrui’s fault! I hope elder sister forgives me!”

Seeing their heir’s wife so servile, Chun Hua and Qiu Yue indignantly stepped forward.

Yan Qinrui shot them a sharp glance from the corner of her eye, stopping them in their tracks, while still maintaining a gentle and graceful demeanor.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s thoughts whirled rapidly, her brows slightly furrowed, she sternly said, ”Since you condone your servants’ reckless actions in front of my house, why put on such affected airs?”

Annoying!

She sincerely hated this sort of hypocrisy!

It made her want to go up and tear down her superficial mask!

A flash of anger crossed Gu Changsheng’s heart, but her eyes suddenly widened, and she raised her hand to stop Yan Qinrui from speaking, ”Did you just call me ’elder sister’?”

Oh my god! Was she only realizing this after being upset?

This heir’s wife, she just called her ’sister’ right? And oh my god, after so many years?

What sort of scheme was this?

Poor in the city, no one asks, rich in the mountains, distant relatives come knocking, isn’t it?

But the visitor was the heir’s wife; even if she, Gu Changsheng, didn’t care about it, the heir’s wife’s status surely didn’t randomly recognize relatives, right?

”Elder sister, Qinrui has failed in her duty to discipline, I beg elder sister to forgive me! Qinrui will definitely discipline them strictly once I return!” Qinrui bowed her head again in a salute, her eyes flashing a trace of coldness!

Gu Changsheng! She definitely did it on purpose!

She didn’t believe that Gu Changsheng knew nothing about the matters of the Capital! She was surely using this question to make her lose face!

A flame of nameless anger flickered in Yan Qinrui’s heart, paining her so much she couldn’t show it!

”No, no! Hold on, stop! You stop talking for a while, let me sort this out!” Gu Changsheng, headache throbbing, waved her hand for Yan Qinrui to be quiet, rubbed her forehead, and looked blankly at Dong Lei who followed her closely, asking, ”Xiao Leizi, do I have a sister? Did my mother have other children for the Gu Family?”

Oh my god! How could she not know this?

This extremely distinguished heir’s wife, calling her sister again and again, confused her utterly!

She couldn’t help but suspect, whether their Gu Family had other children lost to the world...
