Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 481: Chapter 339: Mom Must Redeem Me

Gu Changsheng listened to the schadenfreude outside with great amusement when he saw Song Mu return with a baffled expression.

”A bunch of beauties?” Gu Changsheng blinked his long eyelashes and asked innocently.

”Yeah! A whole line of beauties!” Song Mu nodded, his eyes sparkling as he spoke, ”Each one is as lovely as a flower, just like a fairy. Just a bit... cold.”

”Smack!” Gu Changsheng immediately stood up upon hearing this, and smacked Song Mu’s head with a light slap, ”Put away your drool, look at you, no ambition! Haven’t you seen a beauty before or what?”

Song Mu’s handsome little face immediately crumpled like a baozi as he rubbed his smacked head and stuttered, ”I haven’t seen...”

”Smack!” Gu Changsheng, walking in front, delivered another light slap, pretending to be angry as he glared, ”You little Song Mu, are you blind? Your wife, a living beauty, stands right before you and you can’t see her?!”

Upon hearing this, Song Mu’s mouth twitched, and his face grew even more miserable as he complained, ”What I meant was, I haven’t seen so many beauties...”

Alright! His wife was indeed a beauty! There was no doubt about that!

Of course, most of the time, his wife was a whimsical master who didn’t quite act the part!

This was something they were exceedingly grateful and delighted about, yet also immensely distressed!

Gu Changsheng heard this, touched his nose sheepishly, and while walking towards the backyard, said, ”Aiyo, how unfortunate, I wronged you. Two drumsticks for breakfast as compensation!”

Song Mu followed behind his wife with a gloomy face, rubbing his head and grumbling dissatisfiedly, ”Wife, you’re so stingy. Can that even count as compensation? The drumsticks in our mansion are always enough to fill us up, alright!”

Gu Changsheng glanced back at him, and started talking with a roguish look, ”Are you suggesting that your wife should shortchange your rations? Think about it, though, living in bliss, you even find fault when your wife wants to compensate you with something extra! That’s really not proper!”

”No, no, no! Wife! That’s not what I meant, definitely not that! Wife, you’re very generous, truly the most generous person in the world!” Xiao Song Mu immediately surrendered upon hearing this!

Godfather! If his wife really did cut their rations over this trifle, then his sin would be enormous!

If the people in the mansion found out, they’d definitely beat him to death!

Just thinking about it felt quite tragic!

So, Xiao Song Mu couldn’t care about anything else and quickly started to curry favor with his wife.

”Wife, didn’t you look imposing today? You should have seen how you scared the heir’s wife when you came back. I reckon she was about to wet her pants!”

”You really are too domineering, wife. That Princely Heir from Li Mansion truly is blind, to divorce a perfect woman like you and choose a pretentious woman with a venomous heart for a wife. Just thinking about it, you know his life won’t be smooth sailing!”

”Are you so full you have nothing better to do than worry about such salty affairs? A Princely Heir like him needs not your concern,” Gu Changsheng laughed and shook his head, continuing forward.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Song Mu immediately widened his eyes, ”Don’t slander me, wife! Where am I worrying about him? I’m clearly relishing his misfortune!”

He was very clear about his position!

He and his wife were from one kingdom, while that Princely Heir was from another!

”Listening to your nonsense! Go check on Zhou Zongbao, making a ruckus early in the morning, causing the whole mansion to hear him. Ask him when he’ll calm down! By the way, get my Xiao Si Xi back!” Gu Changsheng chuckled and knocked on Song Mu’s head as he instructed.

Upon hearing this, Song Mu immediately agreed and pointed, ”Wife, Young Master and that group of beauties are all in the Book Tower. You won’t miss them if you look for them there!”

”I know! Go on then!” Gu Changsheng waved his hand upon hearing this, and strode leisurely towards the Book Tower.

The scenery of the mansion was not bad; even during the deep autumn, there were still some evergreen plants thriving and lush.

Gu Changsheng enjoyed the scenery, taking a long breath of relief.

Finally vented out all the frustration from early morning! His little meat bun, though kind-hearted and soft, genuinely avenged her today!

That Princely Heir’s wife, Yan Qinrui, really brought it upon herself! She deserved to have her men turn into walking wounded!

It was truly satisfying!

As for the sudden appearance of that group of beauties in the mansion, Gu Changsheng knew with just the tip of his toes that it was the entourage from Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower escorting his son home!

They were done watching the excitement and yet didn’t leave, even coming into his home!

What was this all about?

With so many people and watchful eyes in his mansion, did he really need everyone to know that his house harboured the biggest procuress of the Four Kingdoms?

This really was a fact that Gu Changsheng wished not to face!

”We’ve seen Lady Changsheng!”

”We’ve seen Lady Changsheng!”

As soon as Gu Changsheng stepped into the Book Tower, he immediately heard a chorus of polite greetings, rhythmic and uniform, clearly well-trained!

”Forget it, forget it! My son is back home safe and sound, what else are you worried about? Do you really need this to be the talk of the entire city or what?” Gu Changsheng waved his hand for them to stand up, then took a few steps forward, and gave a slight bow toward Mr. Ban Shan at the head seat, ”Daughter greets Foster Father!”

Mr. Ban Shan, who was cuddling the little meat bun Gu Ze and cooing over him, did not even hear his own daughter’s greeting!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s face involuntarily darkened!

What a double standard!

Goddammit, the moment the little meat bun shows up, she, as the mother, suddenly falls out of favor with her own foster father!

It never fails, not once!

Moreover, since the little meat bun had run away from home for so many days, the foster father had been worried sick, and now that he saw him back, he wouldn’t let go, clinging to him constantly!

It’s like they’re freshly in love after a brief separation... eyes sparkling with excitement!

Gu Changsheng immediately felt aggrieved!

This Grandchild Spoiler of a foster father, what should she even say about him?

”Xiao Gu Ze, you’ve skipped out on home for so long, and now you’ve brought your old mom back a long tail to boot, what are you really implying?” Gu Changsheng narrowed her eyes to slits, looking at the little meat bun nestled in the foster father’s arms.

At these words, the little meat bun shrank up a bit and ducked further into Mr. Ban Shan’s embrace.

”To speak such ominous words to my dear grandson and frighten him, you’ll see if I don’t let you have it!” Without even calling the little meat bun to seek backup, Mr. Ban Shan, curling his beautiful mustache, stared down his own daughter with a scolding expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face immediately darkened even more!

”Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, grandpa is here! Your mother won’t punish you!” After scolding his daughter, Mr. Ban Shan quickly soothed his dear grandson, and the doting on his face, my goodness, was enough to wring out a basin of water!

”Grandpa... scared!” The little meat bun covered his face, peeked at his own mother’s dark countenance, and then called out before burying his head deep into Mr. Ban Shan’s embrace.

This mountain to rely on, absolutely solid, he had to hug it tight!

”As long as the person is safe and has returned home, your mother, being a knowledgeable and reasonable person, will surely not haggle with a small child like you. Don’t be afraid, my dear grandchild! Changsheng’s Beloved Daughter, is what your father saying correct?” Mr. Ban Shan comforted his dear grandson while patting him, then looked questioningly at his own daughter.

”Heh heh...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately laughed dryly!

The heck, you’ve said it all and blocked all the exits, then you come asking me this, what is your intention really?

Do you really want to turn your own daughter into someone who’s not knowledgeable and reasonable?

Damn it, Gu Changsheng really wanted to shout out loud that she was anything but knowledgeable and reasonable!

Unfortunately, in the presence of her own foster father who coddles his grandchild without any shame, she had the will but not the guts to say so and was instantly deflated!

This foster father who has a grandchild but forgets his daughter, what is she supposed to do! The agony!

Staring resentfully at the little meat bun trembling in the foster father’s embrace, Gu Changsheng knew that this little rascal was probably secretly delighting and chuckling away!

Humph! He might evade for a moment, but could he evade for a lifetime?

There would be plenty of opportunities to punish him, Gu Changsheng thought!

So, Gu Changsheng decided not to take issue with him for now, better to send this bunch of ostentatious beauties packing first!

The size of her household was just about right; she couldn’t afford to keep all these idlers!

”I say, the question I asked you just now, you haven’t answered me yet!” Gu Changsheng crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows at the row of beauties standing in line.

Alright, indeed they were as beautiful as flowers and as elegant as jade, their line-up felt almost like a beauty pageant, and well, that did satisfy her eyes for a moment!

Beauties from the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower that many would pay a fortune for and still not be favored, encountering so many all at once, if she didn’t feast her eyes, it wouldn’t be worth it!

”Uh... Lady Changsheng... this... you better ask the Young Master!” the leading beauty hesitantly began to speak, with a look of things left unsaid.

At this, Gu Changsheng immediately became perplexed, blinked her large eyes, and turned toward her hide-and-seek-playing son, speaking sternly, ”Gu Ze! Confession brings leniency, resistance only severity! Choose for yourself!”

The little meat bun, hearing this, stuck out half his head from his grandpa’s arms, clinging to his grandpa’s sleeve, hesitated for a moment before speaking timidly, ”Um, mom, would you fetch some Silver, please?”

”Not a lot, just three hundred taels!” As if afraid his mother would refuse, the little meat bun hastily added another sentence.

”Fetch silver? For what?” Gu Changsheng was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

As soon as Gu Changsheng asked, the little meat bun’s head drooped, his little face flushed with embarrassment, and he started speaking in such a low voice it was almost inaudible, ”Um... to ransom me... I’ve been sold to the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower, and according to the rules handed down from ancestors of The Music and Dance Academy, they absolutely can’t make a loss-making deal, so... you must ransom me... ”

”What!” Gu Changsheng instantly jolted in shock, unable to believe what she was hearing from her son, and then she turned with an incredulous gaze toward the row of beauties...
