Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 610: Chapter 459: Many Exquisite Items in Li Mansion

Upon mentioning the little bun, Gu Changsheng’s face instantly darkened, and with a slight squint of her phoenix eyes, she coldly shouted, ”Shut up!”

Her little bun, her precious son, had become a topic they repeatedly brought up!

”Lady Li! Allow me to remind you, my son is not the kind of person you can casually mention, or else you will bear the consequences!” Gu Changsheng, towering and looking down, glared at the disheveled Lady Li, a hint of a cold smile hooked on her lips as she slowly spoke, ”Shelter you? Save you? How dare you have the face to say such things?”

”Lady Li, your illness is beyond the help of medicine and stones. Before you leave my residence, go back to where you came from and wait to die!”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, she disdainfully waved her sleeve.

For the sake of her little bun, she must suppress her anger!

What goes around comes around, thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, and in less than a year, the tide had turned to her favor!

Thinking this, Gu Changsheng felt somewhat relieved and couldn’t help but take a long breath, dealing with these people was beneath her dignity!

”No! No!” Upon hearing this, Lady Li immediately turned pale and squatted down on the ground, too frightened to speak.

Go back and wait to die!

This sentence deeply struck her nerve!

She did not want to die! She did not want to die in poverty and hunger! No!

”No no! Gu Changsheng! You must save me! You are the Medicine God, aren’t you? I am your son’s grandmother. If you don’t save me, it means your son is ungrateful! It means your son is forgetful of his ancestors!” Realizing this, Lady Li immediately rushed forward and grabbed Gu Changsheng’s skirt, yelling with all her might.

”Scram!” Gu Changsheng said, instantly waved her Red Sleeve and violently swept her down the steps. Turning sideways, she looked fiercely at Lady Li trying to get up and sternly said, ”Ignorant creature, how dare you slander my son!”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, she slowly walked down the steps, ”Who was it that said my son was an evildoer, ignored him, and treated him like a worn-out shoe? Who was it that without any familial affection threw both him and me out of Li Mansion?”

”Lady Li! Don’t think you are still the official wife of the Marquis from Li Mansion!”

”I...I...” Lady Li, on hearing this, was instantly at a loss for words.

Gu Changsheng glanced at her, waved her Red Sleeve, and spoke in a deep voice, ”In front of Gu Changsheng, I won’t allow such a shrew to mess around. My son does not deserve your careless words. Leave now if you know what’s good for you, otherwise don’t blame me for turning ruthless!”

”You! You dare!” Despite her fear, Lady Li struggled to stand up.

Just as Gu Changsheng had said, she was gravely ill and beyond the help of medicine—Gu Changsheng was her last lifeline. If she didn’t grasp it, she would die!

Either way, it was death, so she had to take a gamble!

”Gu Changsheng, do you think by clinging to such high branches as His Highness Prince Mu, you can erase everything?” Lady Li’s face was pale and strained as she summoned the courage to point at Gu Changsheng and curse, ”You forbid me to mention your son, yet I insist on mentioning him! You’ve risen and gained capabilities, so what? Even if you cover the sky with one hand, he is still my grandson. As a descendant, he should obey filial piety, otherwise both gods and men would be enraged, and the heavens would not tolerate!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, her lips pressed tightly in anger.

”The people of Liuzhou City are all watching, Gu Changsheng! Dare you say that your son is not my grandson? If you dare not let him fulfill his filial duties, I dare to make it widely known, making him a target of public criticism, forever unable to raise his head!” Seeing that Gu Changsheng was silent, Lady Li became even more arrogant, shouting at the top of her lungs.

”How dare you!” Song Mu, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward angrily and rebuked.

Seeing someone speak so about his favorite disciple, Yue Xilou’s face also turned particularly ugly; he gripped his folding fan tightly and was about to step forward.

Gu Changsheng, seeing this, slightly squinted her phoenix eyes and raised her hand to stop the two, speaking in a deep voice, ”If you don’t seek death, you won’t die. Let her talk, let her create a fuss. I really want to see what end she hopes to attain!”

”You are just going to let her slander Xiao Gu Ze like this, without doing anything?” Yue Xilou glared at Gu Changsheng and said angrily.

Gu Changsheng looked towards the bustling crowd, those two shabbily dressed people, and then a mocking smile curled at the corner of her mouth as she slowly said, ”Li Mansion is my indelible past, and also the entanglement that my little bun cannot escape in this life!”

”Heaven has its path which they did not take, Hell has no gate yet they come of their own accord—I truly don’t mind cutting the knot quickly to rid of this future trouble!”

Yue Xilou furrowed his brows slightly, and then remained silent.

”Everyone, come and judge. Which grandson does not care for his grandmother? Whose family’s ethics and filial piety does this follow?” Lady Li threw caution to the wind and loudly appealed to the onlookers.

The onlookers hesitated, their gaze shifting complexly towards Lady Changsheng.

During the Zhou Dynasty, literature and especially rites and filial piety were highly valued. Lady Li did not mention anything about Lady Changsheng, but instead focused relentlessly on the little master of Gu Residence, indeed leaving them unsure of whom to support!

After all, the young master of Gu Residence was indeed the blood of the Li Family, an indisputable fact!

”That’s right, as a descendant, one should uphold filial piety. I am his biological father. In this world, is there a son who lets his father and grandmother sleep on the streets while he resides in a luxurious mansion in Hua Mansion, dresses in luxurious clothes, and eats gourmet meals?”

A man’s voice rose from the crowd, successfully drawing everyone’s attention.

Seeing the two who emerged together, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but slightly curve her lips, ”Li Mufeng, Yhan Qinrui, long time no see; how have you been?”

Indeed, these two, now running away in disgrace, were once the glorious couple Li Mufeng and his wife!

Without the title of princely heir, without the support of Yan Mansion, the two were now in tattered clothes, barely better than beggars!

When the two of them saw Gu Changsheng turning around, they were momentarily stunned, their eyes flashing with astonishment!

This exceptionally beautiful woman, noble as if standing atop the clouds, was this truly the Gu Changsheng they once knew?

Having parted for only a few months, the transformation of Gu Changsheng once more caught their attention!

The fiery red Flower Adornment between her eyebrows made Gu Changsheng appear even more unapproachable!

If Gu Changsheng knew what they were thinking, she would definitely scoff!

Flower Adornment? For someone as lazy as herself, would she bother to use such adornments? She wished more than anyone that it was merely a stick-on adornment, unfortunately, it was not!

This was an indelible mark!

Seeing Li Mufeng gazing at Gu Changsheng in a trance, Yan Qinrui immediately came back to her senses, pinched his arm angrily and facing Gu Changsheng, she shouted loudly, ”Gu Changsheng! Isn’t it all your fault that we’ve ended up in such a predicament today?”

”You ruined it so that we couldn’t return home, despised by everyone, Gu Changsheng, are you satisfied now?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng looked down at her dismissively and smiled nonchalantly.

This smile immediately infuriated Yan Qinrui, ”Gu Changsheng! Don’t be arrogant, call your son out and let everyone judge!”

”Right! Call out that unfilial son!”

”Call him out!”

Li Mufeng and Lady Li, upon hearing this, immediately echoed with loud shouts.

The onlookers, hearing this, also turned their gazes towards Gu Changsheng.

”You wish to see my son, just with your status?” Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Gu Changsheng sneered condescendingly, looked down at the three people below the steps, and slowly said, ”Are you even worthy?”

”Gasp!” Upon hearing this, the spectators immediately inhaled a breath of cold air.

Alright then! Lady Changsheng has always been so domineering; it’s not surprising that she would say such words!

”You!”

As the three from Li Mansion stood dumbfounded, cheeks flushed red, Gu Changsheng slightly curled the corner of her mouth and slowly spoke, ”Don’t accuse me of bullying by taking advantage of my position. Being able to cling onto someone as high up as Zhou Mu is also a skill, isn’t it? Clinging to a powerful connection and not using it, would make me feel quite unaccomplished in choosing men!”

”Indeed, you are not eligible to see my son!”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, she slowly shook her finger, exuding an air of superiority.

”Gu Changsheng! Are you encouraging your son’s disobedience?” Li Mufeng, upon hearing this, immediately frowned and spoke sternly.

At this moment, where was the elegant and distinguished appearance of Li Mufeng from the past?

Seeing such a man made Gu Changsheng repeatedly shake her head, full of regret!

What is meant by ’times have changed’! This was a perfect example!

Therefore, choosing the right enemy is oh so important, otherwise, the only thing waiting for you is utter defeat!

Gu Changsheng, looking down at the three people standing below, nonchalantly blew on her fingertips and slowly started speaking, ”So then, tell me, what exactly will it take for you to give it a rest? If it’s not too much to ask, I might reluctantly agree!”

Upon hearing this, joy spread across the faces of the three.

”I want you to shelter me and cure my sickness!” Lady Li was the first to speak, for nothing is more important than life itself!

”A million taels of silver!” Yan Qinrui looked at Gu Changsheng, her determination clear as she spoke.

”Gasp!”

”Wow!”

The people around, upon hearing this, were so frightened that they inhaled another breath of cold air.

”Oh my, such a lion’s roar, that’s quite a big mouth she has!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

At death’s door, what exactly gave Yan Qinrui such courage, making her so confident that Gu Changsheng would be threatened and frightened by them?

”Why do you need silver? You want her to take us in and reconcile!” Li Mufeng, upon hearing this, immediately pulled Yan Qinrui to one side and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, a malevolent look flashed in Yan Qinrui’s eyes, ”Reconcile? Even if she’s a fool, she won’t reconcile with you, so rest your misplaced hopes!”

”I need the silver! I need the silver to rehire someone to take her life, and once she’s dead, won’t everything belong to her son? By then, as his biological father, won’t you be able to do whatever you want?”
