Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 520: Chapter 377: She Actually Jumped Off the Building

Otherwise... she would make blood flow like a river in front of the Gu Residence to set an example!

The Futu Demoness was burned to ashes; hadn’t people seen that?

Then she would let people see the consequences of daring to challenge her, Gu Changsheng!

However, to Gu Changsheng’s disappointment, she had drunk three cups of tea and still, no one had knocked on the door.

”Could it be that I really underestimated Qinrui? Underestimated her endurance?” Gu Changsheng rubbed the teacup in her hand and muttered.

Damn it, she was almost dying of anticipation, wasn’t she?

Why hadn’t Qinrui come to check on the results of her labor yet?

Today was the seventh day, the day she, Gu Changsheng, was supposed to disintegrate, the perfect time for Qinrui’s cunning plans to succeed!

How could Qinrui stay so composed?

”My lady, why don’t you go back to the backyard and rest? If there’s any noise, Si Xi will come and call for you?” Si Xi, looking embarrassed, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Why was his lady so eager and impatient for someone to come to their door seeking revenge?

Was Qinrui that easy to deal with?

Gu Changsheng looked out the window at the position of the sun and thought, damn, it’s way past dawn and she had been sitting here for nearly half an hour!

”Indeed, underestimating the enemy is absolutely inadvisable!” Gu Changsheng sighed listlessly.

Damn it, had her initial burst of energy deflated?

No matter how eagerly she waited, Qinrui simply hadn’t shown up!

”Let’s go! Let’s go back and rest, there’s no reason for us to be more anxious than them!” Gu Changsheng stood up indignantly and headed for the backyard, not forgetting to instruct, ”Boys, be careful, the crossbow machines upstairs are not to be touched, if you injure yourselves, don’t expect your lady to treat you!”

”Yes! Farewell, my lady!”

The several young boys standing by immediately bowed respectfully with a smile upon hearing this.

Only then did Gu Changsheng lead Si Xi with ease toward the backyard!

Now, everything she did had to be extremely cautious, and Si Xi kept urging her to sleep, hoping she would achieve a sudden enlightenment on how to control inner strength.

Gu Changsheng declared that even if she was the best of friends with the Duke of Zhou, damn it, the Duke of Zhou only played chess and definitely knew nothing about inner strength!

Therefore, to avoid causing havoc in her own residence, Gu Changsheng very cooperatively chose to sleep!

Perhaps, damn it, her character might explode, and she might wake up able to control her inner strength effortlessly?

Embracing this thought, Gu Changsheng very cheerfully used her own lively little bundle that hopped over as a pillow, and mother and daughter snuggled into the brocade quilts and went off to sleep deeply!

”My lady, my lady! Wake up, they’re here!” Si Xi ran in, panicked, bent over by the bed and gently called.

”Uh... who’s here?” Gu Changsheng, groggy from sleep, stuck her head out from under the quilts and yawned as she asked.

”The person you’ve been so eagerly awaiting! Hurry up, they’re already knocking at the gates!” Si Xi hurriedly replied.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng yawned again and lifted the little person from under the quilts, ”Little Bundle, you get up, just what did Peacock, Lion, and Tiger punish you with? It’s one thing for you to seek refuge in my bed, but are you planning to laze here forever?”

The Little Bundle crawled out of the quilts with a wronged face, looking at his own mother pitifully and said, ”Mother, the Peacock, Lion, and Tiger vented their anger on me! They insisted I meditate to train in inner strength, and said I should achieve the same level as you, but how is that possible...”

A cycle of sixty years of inner strength! He’s only four years old, four years old! Still fifty-six years to go!

That was blatant venting of anger from the Peacock, Lion, and Tiger!

Gu Changsheng laughed upon hearing this and lifted her son off the bed, ”Listen to Peacock, Lion, and Tiger. They surely won’t harm you! Go ahead!”

After saying this, Gu Changsheng turned around to check her own inner strength!

Okay! Still no feeling!

Aspirations are plentiful, but reality is harsh! This sleep was a total waste!

”Mother, didn’t Si Xi say that the person you’ve been eagerly waiting for is here? Is it Uncle Wood?” Little Bundle, reluctant to leave, followed behind his mother as she got dressed and asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s lips twitched!

Damn it, why must the person she longed to see be an evildoer?

She didn’t miss him that much!

Her own Little Bundle was turning more and more malevolent!

”You idle little thing, you should learn something proper! Go and do what you’re supposed to do!” Gu Changsheng, after getting dressed and having Si Xi help her with a simple hairdo, got up and walked out.

”Mother, if it’s not Uncle Wood, then who is it? Take me to see, and I’ll tell you a secret, okay?” Little Bundle followed closely behind his own mother, starting mysteriously.

Gu Changsheng, lacking in enthusiasm, glanced at him and kept walking to the front yard.

Qinrui had come! She had waited eagerly all morning and Qinrui hadn’t shown up, and just as she had fallen asleep, there she was to disturb her quiet dream!

Indeed! It wasn’t that she had underestimated her opponent!

”Mother, why aren’t you curious? How are you going to kill the cat this way?” Seeing his mother unmoved, Little Bundle accused with a wronged face.

”Curiosity killed the cat is not used like that! I tell you to be ignorant of nothing!” Gu Changsheng immediately smacked Little Bundle’s forehead with a burst.

”Ow!”

Little Bundle immediately howled, covering his forehead as he jumped far back.

Gu Changsheng was startled by this and followed anxiously, checking worriedly, ”Son, are you alright? Did mother use too much strength? Does it hurt?”

”Mother, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt! Don’t worry!” Little Bundle, still clutching his forehead, looked up with big, watery eyes but quickly reassured his own mother.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng dared not lay her hand lightly.

She completely lost control of her Inner Strength now, unable to gauge the force of her actions, she was afraid of injuring her precious son!

”Si Xi, pry his hand open for me!” Unable to take action herself, Gu Changsheng could only ask Si Xi for help.

”Yes!” Si Xi responded, stepping forward immediately.

”No no! Please don’t!” The Little Meat Bun struggled a bit but still had his little hand pried open by Si Xi.

Gu Changsheng looked at the swelling on her son’s forehead, her heart aching immensely.

It was all her fault! The bit of strength she thought she was using had actually exceeded her expectations by far!

Gu Changsheng really wished she could chop her own hand off! But the urgent matter at hand was to apply medicine to her son!

Without another word, Gu Changsheng picked up Little Meat Bun and dashed toward the front yard.

Si Xi only felt a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, both his lady and the Young Master disappeared from sight. When Si Xi came to his senses and saw the figures disappearing into the front yard’s full moon gate, he was utterly dumbstruck!

That speed!

Lady Changsheng had always been incredibly fast, but now, it was no longer just ”incredible.”

Even with his Eyesight Power, he could only see a fleeting afterimage, this...

”Wow! Mom is so fast! It’s like flying! Wings, wings! Huff puff...” The Little Meat Bun, swept up by his mother’s speedy embrace, soon realized his surroundings were rapidly receding and exclaimed in shock, joyfully spreading his little chubby arms, mimicking a bird soaring...

”People of Gu Residence, hand over Gu Changsheng’s son!”

”Daring to hurt his stepmother, this is utterly unfilial and absurd! He should be taken back to Li Mansion to be dealt with by the Li Family! Hand him over now!”

”...”

Barely approaching the Longevity Medical Building, they already heard a series of arrogantly yammering voices from far away.

Upon hearing this, Little Meat Bun’s arms stiffened, and his chubby little face fell, ”It’s them! They actually dare to come!”

One voice Little Meat Bun heard clearly was Housekeeper Yan, whom he had thoroughly tricked the other day!

”Mom?” Little Meat Bun turned his head and looked enquiringly at his own mother.

”Don’t worry about them now! Mom will apply your medicine first! It’s all mom’s fault, I shouldn’t have tapped you!” Gu Changsheng, guilt-ridden and anxious yet gentle in her movements, sat Little Meat Bun on a chair, ignoring the door being banged loudly, and hurriedly went upstairs to the medicine cabinet.

The kids inside the house stared dumbfounded at their lady and Young Master... When did they come in?

Why hadn’t they seen clearly when they had already reached the hall?

”Are the people inside dead? Or just pretending to be dead? Open the door already, hand over Gu Changsheng’s son!”

”Hand him over! Or else we’re breaking down the door!”

”...”

Outside, the clamorous shouts continued, escalating in intensity, while Gu Changsheng paid them no heed, frantically searching in the upstairs medicine cabinet, ”Cooling Blood and Dissipating Stasis Ointment! Cooling Blood and Dissipating Stasis Ointment! Where is it?”

Her mismanaged Inner Strength had inadvertently caused her to hurt her own son!

This was really... infuriating!

”Ah! Found it!” Gu Changsheng exclaimed happily upon seeing the small porcelain vial in the cabinet, grabbing it and instinctively dashing back downstairs!

”Yikes!”

”Whoa!”

”Lady!”

The kids downstairs gasped collectively as they saw the figure flipping down directly from the second floor.

Seeing this, Si Xi also exclaimed in shock, rushing to catch the falling Gu Changsheng!

In midair, Gu Changsheng suddenly realized something was wrong!

Good heavens! She hadn’t noticed and had actually jumped from the building!

Damn! This Medical Tower was tall, even the second floor was a good five meters from the ground!

Now it was all over! She was going to be smashed to smithereens!

Gu Changsheng, protecting the medicine vial in her hand, grimly thought she wouldn’t just break her arms but probably sprain her legs too!

This was such terrible luck!

Not only had she hurt her precious son, but she had also inexplicably jumped from a building!

”Lady!”

The alarmed shouts of Si Xi and Ning Er Kun Nu sounded like a wakeup call in Gu Changsheng’s mind.

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a moment of disorientation; she could hear the frantic heartbeats of Si Xi and others...

She could hear the heartbeats of Housekeeper Yan and his group outside...

She could even faintly hear the cold sneer of Yhan Qinrui...

All the forces seemed ineffective at that moment, and Gu Changsheng was like that undescended apple...

Time seemed to stand still, Gu Changsheng felt as if her body was held aloft by a vague and almost imperceptible force, halting her descent...

Gu Changsheng blankly stared at her hands, the medicine vial slipping out of her grasp in her distracted moment!

”The ointment!” Gu Changsheng suddenly snapped back to reality, reaching out for the falling vial.

That was for applying on her son’s forehead!
