Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 480: Chapter 338: My Son, Nicknamed Yaoyao

Gu Changsheng had never liked kicking someone when they were down, but now, she felt like not doing so even for a moment would be an immense disservice to herself!

Damn it, these people had been a pain in her ass since the crack of dawn!

For goodness’ sake, she hadn’t even had the chance to eat breakfast yet! Her stomach had been growling for a while now!

Usually, when Gu Changsheng didn’t get enough sleep or food, her mood would be far from pleasant! Therefore, at this very moment, her already foul mood had turned even fouler!

Her gaze toward Yan Qinrui inevitably became less friendly!

The already panicked Yan Qinrui, swept by such a fierce look, instantly became even more flustered and overwhelmed!

Intimidating!

Such an intimidating aura!

Even her father, the Marquis, did not possess such a tangible and fierce presence!

At this moment, Yan Qinrui suddenly realized that she might have truly offended someone beyond her capability to handle!

Gu Changsheng!

That woman who was once deemed lowly and timid, whom she felt unworthy of even a glance, had transformed into someone Yan Qinrui feared from the bottom of her heart!

”My son, they all think you are an evildoer,” Gu Changsheng said with a slight curl of her lips, gazing at Yan Qinrui before opening her mouth.

”Nonsense! They are the monsters! Is there such a cute monster like me?” nestled on his mother’s shoulder, Little Meat Bun immediately looked up with glaring eyes and retorted huffily.

”Haha...”

The answer from Little Meat Bun successfully provoked a burst of unrestrained laughter from Gu Changsheng.

The onlookers, upon hearing this, also chuckled and shook their heads.

Indeed, how could the Gu Residence’s Young Master, being so adorable, possibly be an evildoer!

They had all been hoodwinked by that damn Princely Heir’s wife, which led to such suspicions!

”My child! In fact, being a monster is better than being human. Humans must follow the strictures of worldly customs, and the slightest mistake can make them unwelcome in the world, subjected to everyone’s criticism!” Gu Changsheng, with a face full of doting affection, raised her hand to tap her son’s forehead, speaking gently.

Upon hearing this, Little Meat Bun nodded with a look of half-understanding.

If mother says being a monster is better than human, then it must be true!

Mother is always right! No doubt about it!

Gu Changsheng’s tone suddenly shifted, and she pointed her long finger directly at the frail Yan Qinrui, who was collapsing into her maid’s arms, and spoke in a deep voice, ”Take the Princely Heir’s wife, for example, who is merely wearing a human skin mask, speaking with ostensible righteousness but acting with venomous cruelty!”

”The world is never short of such hypocritical and artificial people! Because they care too much about their gorgeous human skin disguises!”

Gu Changsheng’s words were akin to tearing off Yan Qinrui’s outer garments, mercilessly exposing her naked soul for all to see, with no mercy and no room for maneuver!

Hearing his mother speak like that, Little Meat Bun immediately bobbed his head up and down like a pecking chick, ”Exactly! Exactly! They are the truly deceptive villains! As if sneak attacks weren’t bad enough! They even thought of using me to command my mother! Truly deserving of condemnation!”

”Haha! My son’s words are very well spoken! Truly deserving of condemnation!” Gu Changsheng laughed heartily upon hearing this, and happily kissed her son’s little cheek!

Godfather! It’s not easy!

Her son had only a superficial understanding of idioms, just like his martial arts skills were mediocre. Rarely had he not used the wrong words! He deserved praise!

As Yan Qinrui listened to the mother and son’s conversation, as if no one else was present, the sword wound on her arm began to hurt even more, her entire face contorted with anger, and her body jerked around rhythmlessly!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng looked disdainful and curled her lip!

There is a saying that goes: one who has stirred up trouble should not expect to live! Yan Qinrui, with her malicious intentions, was deserving of condemnation, exactly as Little Meat Bun had said!

The consequences of one’s actions must be borne by oneself!

Such a person does not deserve sympathy!

Gu Changsheng was not a person overwhelmed by sympathy! At this moment, all she wanted was to use her strong arm tactics to make Yan Qinrui understand that she, Gu Changsheng, was not a puppet to be manipulated, and that her son was certainly not someone whom Yan Qinrui could wish to harm!

”My child, there are countless rules and dogmas in the world, and I, Gu Changsheng, only wish that my son may act freely, unfettered by conventional doctrines! It’s better to be a monster than to live a difficult life as a human; from now on, your nickname will be Yaoyao!”

”Gu Ze, nicknamed Yaoyao! Taking ’Peach Yaoyao’ from the Peach Blossom, shining in its splendor, I wish my son to be like the Peach Yaoyao, splendid and unbounded by the norms of the world!” Gu Changsheng, reaching this point, couldn’t help tossing her cherished Little Meat Bun son into the air.

”Wow ha ha, Yaoyao! From now on, my nickname is Yaoyao! How exciting!” laughed Little Meat Bun, being tossed up in the air.

Gu Changsheng also had a face full of joy as he hugged his son again and turned his gaze to Yan Qinrui, speaking in a deep voice, ”Does my son still remember your choice from before? The choice between Li Mansion and me?”

Upon hearing these words, Little Meat Bun’s face darkened and his little head drooped immediately. Although young, he was born clever and had an extraordinary memory, with the hardships he had suffered before still fresh in his mind!

Little Meat Bun, Gu Ze, twisted his fingers and spoke hesitantly, ”I remember...”

Gu Changsheng, with a wave of his long hand, pointed again at Yan Qinrui, speaking solemnly, ”They are the people of Li Mansion! Your biological father is from Li Mansion!”

”I am now giving you another chance to choose. Do you want to take the surname Li or the surname Gu?”

As soon as Gu Changsheng finished speaking, even Dong Lei exclaimed in shock, ”Lady!”

”Mother!” Little Meat Bun was also startled, clinging to Gu Changsheng’s neck in panic, pleading with a cry in his voice, ”Mother, do you not want me anymore? Are you abandoning me again?”

”Not at all!” Gu Changsheng shook her head firmly and declared resoundingly, ”Li Mansion and the Ministry of War have petitioned Yan Mansion for marriage to regain the marquis title, and naturally, things are now different from the past. And you are no Ah Meng beneath Wu, I am giving you one more chance to choose, lest you regret it when you grow up!”

”I won’t regret it! I won’t regret it! Mother, I only want you, I only take the surname Gu!” Little Meat Bun hurriedly interrupted his mother’s words, his eyes filled with panic.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng patted his little head affectionately, ”You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Since it’s your choice, then don’t blame your mother in the future!”

”See these people? Today you showed mercy and didn’t harm their lives, because you are inherently kind, not fond of bloodshed! But they may not have such good hearts!” Gu Changsheng pointed again at Yan Qinrui, her voice as cold as ice, ”Next time! If there is a next time, show no mercy! If they dare to plot against you again, don’t hesitate! You have every right to take their lives!”

Upon hearing this, Little Meat Bun followed his mother’s pointing finger to look toward Yan Qinrui, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, then solemnly nodded and declared seriously, ”I remember, mother. I will always be cautious of the people from Li Mansion. If they try to harm me, I will show no mercy anymore!”

Gu Changsheng nodded in relief upon hearing this, then turned to Yan Qinrui with a look of disdain, ”Heir’s wife, did you hear what we said clearly?”

”We mother and son disdain further involvement with Li Mansion. If you are sensible, you will return to Capital City posthaste, and be the good heir’s wife you’re supposed to be! Otherwise, even if you represent the entire Ministry of War, Yan Mansion, and Marquis Li Mansion, I, Gu Changsheng, will not be afraid!”

Gu Changsheng’s cold voice coiled around Yan Qinrui’s heart like a snake, almost suffocating her, draining her strength to reply!

”How dare you cause trouble in my residence! To correct with this minor punishment is already my great leniency. From now on, if you dare to come within half a step of Gu Residence, I will have you shot on the spot!”

”Being riddled with arrows is not a pleasant experience, I hope the Princely Heir’s wife will think thrice before acting!”

Having said that, Gu Changsheng didn’t even glance at the excessively frightened Yan Qinrui as she turned to walk toward the main door, ”Why are you still standing there? Aren’t you coming with me back to the residence? Your wife is already starving!”

”Yes!” Dong Lei and the rest of the youths came to their senses, quickly following her lead.

Song Mu and Song Lin, the two brothers, did not forget to snort coldly at Yan Qinrui’s party before shutting the gate!

With Gu Changsheng’s departure, the front of the Gu Residence suddenly fell into an eerie silence!

The onlookers looked at each other...

Yan Qinrui’s party was in utter disarray, their faces filled with panic and stupor...

”Haha! That felt good! They dared to cause trouble in Medicine God’s Residence and got their comeuppance, didn’t they!”

”What’s this called? Coming in high spirits and leaving in disappointment! They arrived looking unstoppable, and now? They’re worse off than stray dogs!”

”Exactly! A group of adults shamelessly ambushing a child and failing at that!”

”What’s called winning without fighting! What’s called using the enemy’s spear against their own shield! I only heard about such fantastical stories from storytellers, and now I’ve seen it for myself. Thanks to those so-called ’wives’ from Capital City! Thank you for broadening our horizons. Haha...”

”Twenty-some people, and they couldn’t even beat the Gu Residence’s Young Master! Failing to beat the Young Master is one thing, but having no shame and slandering him as an evildoer! That is just unparalleled!”

”Now, it’s good! Medicine God Lady Changsheng directly named the Young Master Yaoyao, which means a spirit-like blooming among peach blossoms, fitting your wishes perfectly! Haha...”

”Hey! You uncultured people from Capital City, do you even know the reputation of Medicine God Changsheng? Didn’t you inquire before picking a fight? Lady Changsheng handles medicine like a deity, and it’s no problem for her to slice you open. These days, all the physicians of the city are converging at the Gu Residence. Something extraordinary must have happened again, and with Lady Changsheng’s skill, it’s easy to paralyze you, let alone take your lives in minutes!”

”Yes, yes! That’s the logic! Who was showing off and calling us commoners just now? In Liuzhou City, in Lady Changsheng’s eyes, you really are no better than us!”

”Oh dear, looking at how injured you are, it’s quite pitiful. There, Medicine God Lady Changsheng is recognized by the Four Kingdoms’ Physicians as the Medicine God. Why don’t you knock on the door and ask for a consultation?”

”However, Lady Changsheng charges a daughter’s price for treatment, ten thousand gold to save a life. With so many of you needing help, I’m afraid even Marquis Li Mansion might not be able to afford the consultation fee! Haha...”

...

Sitting in the Medical hall, sipping tea to catch his breath, Gu Changsheng heard the outside voices of ridicule and mockery, and he couldn’t help shaking his head.

Kicking someone while they’re down was something many enjoyed doing!

And they did it quite beautifully too!

Even Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud and give them a thumbs up!

”Wow! Lady, suddenly there are so many beauties in the residence! Should we ask Sister Dong to make some more food?”
