Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 554: Chapter 407: Yuan Bao with Deep Hatred and Suffering

Zhou Mu immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this, while he straightened the messy clothes of the visibly angry Gu Changsheng and began, ”No, no, I am not foolish like Yuan Bao, I simply want to tell my love that I really wouldn’t embezzle your silver!”

It must be said, Zhou Mu’s laugh was truly charming!

Already akin to a True Immortal, his smile brightened as if the skies had cleared after rain, stunning and spellbinding, sweeping one’s soul off their feet!

Gu Changsheng was dazzled by the stunningly handsome man in front of her and momentarily forgot to react.

”Hehe...” Seeing this, Zhou Mu shook his head with a light laugh, starting to comb her hair, ”Besides, how could my love bear to strike me, would you really have the heart?”

Gu Changsheng, hearing his light laughter, snapped back to reality!

Damn it, she wanted to die!

Why bring up money again, didn’t he see she was already falling apart?

It really was a case of mentioning the worst topic possible!

She desperately wanted to slap Zhou Mu, the evildoer, out of existence, didn’t she?

Gu Changsheng pouted, glaring at the man before her who was tying up her hair!

She really wanted to send him flying! But if she did, who would comb her hair?

What to do? Quite the dilemma now!

Indeed, being self-sufficient was truly important!

After today, she had to learn hair-styling from Si Xi!

Must do it! Absolutely!

Outside, with lightning flashing and thunder booming, it only scared Gu Changsheng a bit before the night turned ominously dark, as if heavy rain were about to pour down!

Seeing this, Si Xi couldn’t delay, snapped his whip, and dashed straight for the gates of the Gu Residence!

”Oh my poor back! My poor stomach!”

Yuan Bao got up from the ground, spit out a mouthful of dirt, and couldn’t help but moan while holding his slim waist!

Lady Changsheng could have at least given a warning before striking, couldn’t she? At least let him be a bit prepared, right?

It wasn’t right to launch a surprise attack like this! It was too oppressive!

Yuan Bao grievously lamented for a while, then coming to his senses, he saw the carriage’s disappearing silhouette and immediately couldn’t feign death anymore, waving his arms frantically as he chased after the carriage!

”Hey, hey! Wait for me! You left me behind!”

No one paid attention to him! The carriage kept running.

”Lady Changsheng bullying me is one thing, but Si Xi, you little rascal, how dare you leave me behind, I’ll make you pay when we get back, or my name isn’t Yuan Bao!”

Yuan Bao cursed towards the carriage, swearing to the skies, Si Xi was definitely doing this on purpose!

Deliberately kicking someone when they’re down!

Seeing that no one paid him any mind, Yuan Bao angrily slapped his belly and had no choice but to chase after them!

Otherwise, he was definitely going to get drenched!

Getting soaked in this weather was no joke!

It was so cold!

Si Xi drove the carriage straight to the open gates of the Gu Residence, rushing towards the backyard!

Dong Lei, already prepared for their late-night meal, rushed to greet them when they returned!

Warm towels, washing off the dust from the road, the family gathered at the dining table ready to delve into the mouth-watering late-night snack!

Right then, rain poured down outside! The air immediately turned colder!

Yuan Bao was incredibly lucky to have made it back just before the heavy rain!

”Godfather! I’m so lucky! I almost turned into a drowned rat!” Yuan Bao, dusting off himself, spoke with relief on his face, then immediately focused on the delicious food on the table, his eyes glued!

These were Xiao Leizi’s cooking! He hadn’t tasted it in a long time! He really felt his stomach tying in knots!

”Yuan Bao, come here!”

Zhou Mu, looking at Yuan Bao’s uncontrollable craving demeanor, beckoned him over.

”Alright, alright!” Yuan Bao responded twice, moving towards his master, but his eyes remained irresistibly fixed on the table’s dishes!

They looked so delicious! His mouth was almost watering!

Today, he was definitely going to feast to his heart’s content!

With that thought, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but jump for joy, rubbing his hands together eagerly!

Zhou Mu, seeing this, lifted his hand, grabbed Yuan Bao’s ear, and pulled him over, whispering in his ear, ”Go find Shang Xie immediately, inquire if there’s anything unusual about Dong Lei’s matter, then when you return to the residence, keep an eye on Sima Changhao and the others.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao’s face immediately drooped, stuttering, ”My lord, must it be now? The thunder has already struck, the rain has fallen, and the Crown Prince of Southern Chen is being monitored freely, is there really a need for me to rush back in such a panic...”

He hadn’t even had a bite yet! Was he really going to be sent away just like that?

Too oppressive!

At Zhou Mu’s glaring glance, Yuan Bao snapped back, slapped himself lightly on the lips!

In front of such delicious food, he had forgotten that the person in front of him was his master—no choice but to resignedly carry out his commands!

When Gu Changsheng entered, what he saw was Yuan Bao looking reluctantly tearful as if about to cry, staring at the food on the table, repeatedly looking back as if he were saying goodbye to his lover for the last time...

In the end, he hardened his heart, his eyes tearful, and quickly turned and left.

”Why did Yuan Bao leave? Look at him, he was about to cry!” Gu Changsheng sat next to Zhou Mu and asked, puzzled.

Ah, Yuan Bao’s pitiable little appearance, it nearly softened her heart!

Could it be that her slap was too hard?

Gu Changsheng shook his head. No, that couldn’t be it, she was in control of her strength and definitely didn’t hurt Yuan Bao!

Zhou Mu, hearing Gu Changsheng’s question, began serving food to her while saying, ”It’s nothing, just some tasks he needed to do. He was reluctant to leave Dong Lei’s cooking, so he left with a heavy heart!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately understood!

Godfather, she knew exactly how greedy that little Xiao Er Que, Yuan Bao, was for food!

Seeing the meals made by her Xiao Leizi, he simply couldn’t tear himself away!

Having him leave like that, if he could do so willingly, that would be strange!

Gu Changsheng blinked and moved a bit closer to Zhou Mu, questioning with a skeptical look, ”Evildoer, are you sure you didn’t do this on purpose? You let a ”duck” that was already in his mouth fly away. Isn’t that a bit cruel?”

The evildoer definitely did it on purpose!

With the same wicked humor, longing to see Yuan Bao’s utterly compliant demeanor!

Zhou Mu, hearing this, helplessly shook his head and remained silent!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately confirmed it and instructed Dong Lei, who was nearby, ”Xiao Leizi, sorry to trouble you again, but could you make some food that can be packed? Have the Hidden Guard outside the residence deliver it to that foodie, Yuan Bao!”

She truly believed that Yuan Bao, having been slapped down doggy-style, and missing out on delicious food, would absolutely cry!

Being such a generous person, how could she bear to see Yuan Bao upset, right?

”Yes!” Dong Lei responded with a smile upon hearing this and turned to head to the outer room.

Zhou Mu, seeing her considerate nature, lovingly rubbed the top of her head and added her favorite chicken feet to the plate in front of her.

With delicious food before her, and after a night of nerve-racking events, Gu Changsheng was indeed a little hungry. She immediately picked up the chopsticks and began to devour her meal!

”Ah, not having Little Meat Bun around feels quite odd. I wonder if he can get used to the communal meals up in the mountains?”

After finishing the late-night meal, Gu Changsheng lay on the soft couch, looking at Zhou Mu beside her, and started talking with a melancholic expression.

She really was like a mother! It had only been a short while since she had separated from her own son, and she was already missing him!

Unable to bear the separation, she had fled without even saying goodbye. She wondered if Little Meat Bun would cry when he found out she was gone...

”Don’t worry, with Mr. Ban Shan taking care of him, he will be fine!” Zhou Mu immediately consoled her upon hearing this, ”Moreover, he is a boy; he should aim to explore the world. Can he always stay by your side?”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng thought it over and realized he was right!

Whether a boy or a girl, they all grow up someday and will eventually leave their parents’ wings. Little Meat Bun was not a pampered child; he should be able to adapt to life in Baili Mountain!

If things really don’t work out, she would make time to visit him soon!

”Where have Flower Peacock and Borjigin Nian run off to? It’s started raining heavily outside; I hope they don’t get soaked!” Gu Changsheng thought of the two adversaries, feeling a throbbing pain in her temples.

Zhou Mu looked outside at the pitch-black night and consoled her again, ”They intended to avoid Sima Changhao and his companions, so they probably returned to the small courtyard in Mountain-Foot Village. Don’t worry, they’ll come back once the rain stops!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly widened her eyes, ”But what if it rains all night?”

Godfather, wouldn’t Flower Peacock have to stay the night in the courtyard of Mountain-Foot Village with Borjigin Nian?

She had this nagging feeling of a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.

This pairing alone by themselves, like dry tinder near a flame, it wouldn’t be surprising if something happened—it would indeed be more surprising if nothing happened...

Gu Changsheng immediately became anxious and grabbed Zhou Mu’s sleeve, stammering, ”Evildoer, don’t tell me my Peacock, more beautiful than a demon, will actually be done in by Nian that pig?”

Thinking about it, she truly felt reluctant. Flower Peacock, with such beauty, should remain single to bless the hearts of countless girls!

If he were taken, that would be a sin!

Her Flower Peacock, more beautiful than cabbages...

Zhou Mu upon hearing this, immediately tapped her forehead lightly, affectionately saying, ”What are you even thinking about? Yue Xilou is not that kind of frivolous person!”

”I’m mostly worried about your Little Junior Sister!” Gu Changsheng immediately retorted.

Her Flower Peacock had integrity, but Borjigin Nian was someone who would lose all his morals upon seeing a handsome guy—truly bottomless!

How could she not worry?

Zhou Mu choked upon hearing this, unable to defend his Little Junior Sister.

His Little Junior Sister’s penchant for handsome men was known across the Four Kingdoms, criticized endlessly, making it really hard to believe she could play her cards right!

Seeing even the evildoer not favoring his Little Junior Sister, Gu Changsheng felt deeply aggrieved!

This winter rain came at such a bloody inconvenient time!

Scaring her was bad enough, but was it really going to play cupid too?

Dammit! If it really brought people together, she would have to cry!

”Heavens! I seem to have forgotten someone!” Gu Changsheng suddenly jumped up from the couch, her face filled with horror as she exclaimed...
