Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 647: Chapter 494: The Pitiful Ones Lost in Love

Gu Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing those words!

Yes, after tomorrow’s bride-pride ceremony, she would be his fiancée, rightfully and legitimately!

The fragrance of flowers was subtle, and two figures, one red and one purple, embraced tightly in a quiet and warm moment...

”Release my daughter!”

Yet someone was not cooperative and ruined the beautiful scene!

A shout of anger rang out, and Gu Changsheng instantly sprang from Zhou Mu’s embrace with shock, standing upright with an embarrassed face!

Darn it!

He had been caught by his foster father!

”Greetings, Foster Father!” Gu Changsheng bowed ceremonially with propriety and sneaked a glance at the red-faced foster father charging toward him.

That agility was truly remarkable!

Gu Changsheng felt that lately, his foster father was quite clearly entering a rampage phase!

How should she put it? As a daughter with a fear of marriage, and he as a foster father, eager for his daughter to settle down in life, felt a bit disappointed!

Thus, his temper was always a bit prickly!

Casting a glance at Zhou Mu, giving him a look that said you’re on your own, Gu Changsheng timidly stood behind her foster father, daring not to speak again!

”Zhou Mu! You come from the Imperial Family; my daughter is unruly and lacks restraint, but don’t you know any better?” Pointing at Zhou Mu, he bombarded him, ”In full view of everyone during the celebration, acting so intimately, what kind of example are you setting? Where has the Imperial Family’s upbringing gone?”

Exactly! What kind of example! Why take advantage of her! Gu Changsheng nodded vigorously; her foster father was right, it would have been better without that part about her being unruly!

That shameless evildoer, indeed lacking in discipline! Humph!

”Sir, please calm down.” Zhou Mu performed a formal gesture and spoke with neither servility nor overbearingness.

”Calm down? You dare to take liberties with my daughter even before the marriage, and you ask me to calm down! Zhou Mu, your clan elders may approve, but I most certainly do not!” His daughter was exceptionally precious!

”Then, sir, what would you suggest? Otherwise, should I allow her to take liberties in return?” Zhou Mu glanced at the woman who was delighting in his misfortune and spoke with utmost seriousness.

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng heard this and immediately burst out laughing.

Was this guy courting death? Being so unserious even in front of her foster father!

Gu Changsheng could not help but shake her head, empathizing with Zhou Mu’s predicament!

”You! You! You sure are a chip off the old block of Hetian! Just like him, despicable to the core!” Mr. Ban Shan’s beautiful mustache trembled madly, extremely furious.

Literally caught in the crossfire!

Anyway, it was always Zhou Zongbao who ended up being the scapegoat!

Thinking about it was quite pitiful! This was indeed the person spoiled by Zhou Zongbao’s indulgence! Although not of his blood, he was the one who raised him!

He definitely deserved this burden!

”Hetian spends his days hoping that I would soon have heirs, don’t you wish for another precious grandchild?” Zhou Mu said lightly with a raised eyebrow, ”A child as adorable and well-behaved as little Gu Ze, under your teaching, sir...”

”Uh...” Mr. Ban Shan’s anger immediately vanished, a look of longing appearing in his eyes, ”A grandchild...”

A grandchild just like his own. Perfect! Very good!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened; this was a blatant bribery! Too despicable!

”Well then, tomorrow is the bride-pride ceremony. Sir, let’s go together to consult Shang Xie to find an auspicious date and calculate when the marriage should be,” Zhou Mu stepped forward to support Mr. Ban Shan, speaking energetically, ”After all, last night...”

”Yes, yes, let’s go calculate the dates! If last night you two... If there was... it wouldn’t be good... We need to set the date quickly, the sooner the better!” Mr. Ban Shan, upon hearing this, became anxious and allowed Zhou Mu to guide him towards the Peach Blossom Cottage.

After all, if something resulted from last night, wouldn’t his grandchild be illegitimate?

How could that be allowed! The wedding date must be set soon!

With that resolution, Mr. Ban Shan’s steps became quicker.

Before leaving, Zhou Mu still didn’t forget to look back at Gu Changsheng with a challenging gaze.

”You! You!” Watching the two support each other as they left, Gu Changsheng was speechless.

Damn it, what does this mean?

Just like that, right in front of her, completely ignoring her existence, they’re going to sell her off again?

And what about last night... what about last night? After how they were last night, if anything were to happen, that would indeed be a ghost story!

Have you ever seen getting pregnant by hand, isn’t this a complete joke?

Evildoer! Infuriating! He is definitely doing this on purpose! Deliberately leading his foster father astray!

And yet, her foster father really fell for it!

This... there’s absolutely no way to reason this out!

”Wife, getting married soon is a good thing, lovers finally becoming husband and wife, how wonderful!” Si Xi sneakily appeared behind his own wife, speaking with a smile.

Just now, he had seen everything, all intimate and cozy, hehe...

”Fine! Fine you big-headed ghost! I haven’t even fully learned the bride-pride ceremony, talking about marrying my foot!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse, damn it, the ink was barely dry and those two are already rushing to draw another stroke!

She decided to take back her previous words; a foster father is just a foster father, not a real dad!

Look at how eager he is to marry off his daughter, as if he can’t marry her off!

”Let’s go, to the Guest Garden!” Waving her hand, Gu Changsheng turned and headed towards the Guest Garden.

The evildoer is too scheming, and her foster father too gullible, but what could she do? She surely couldn’t run to her foster father and tell him that last night, she and the evildoer did nothing but kissing, hugging, and cuddling, definitely not enough to produce a grandson, right?

Does she look like her face is made of city walls?

Damn it! The evildoer is betting that she is too ashamed to explain last night’s events to her foster father, that’s why he’s so bold and fearless!

Despicable indeed is the passport of the despicable! The evildoer is that utterly despicable person!

At the Guest Garden, Yue Jianjia was frowning in thought when she heard some noise outside. Looking up, she saw a figure in crimson entering.

”Sister Changsheng...” Seeing the visitor, Yue Jianjia got up from the couch, stammering as she called out anxiously, ”Sister Changsheng, listen to me, about last night, it really had nothing to do with me...”

”Stop!” Gu Changsheng looked at her coldly, still stunningly beautiful even past thirty, a beauty unparalleled in the world but grotesque in her insincerity, repulsing to the extreme, ”Yue Jianjia, the Flower Peacock has been dismissed by me, stop acting in front of me, I’m not buying it!”

”Sister Changsheng, I...” Yue Jianjia started, her striking face showing a hint of grievance and tried to explain further, but gradually silenced under the cool and taunting gaze of Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng, this woman, had a meticulous mind and was incredibly strong, so strong that it frightened her from the bottom of her heart! Her deep phoenix eyes seemed like they could see through everything, making her hair stand on end...

Giving her another look, Gu Changsheng’s lips curled up slightly and she slowly began, ”Yue Jianjia, the foremost beauty in the land, a dance moves the capital, celebrated across the Four Kingdoms, can you live up to such a reputation? Your mother managed Yue Xilou, and Yue Xilou and I share a bond of life and death, also being Zhou Mu’s maternal uncle, Zhou Mu owes him, I owe him too, the Yue Family owes Yue Xilou a favor, you were afflicted with the Love Gu, he asked me to help, and I did not hesitate to save you!”

”You are infatuated with Yue Xilou, and openly and secretly compete with Borjigin Nian, that is a matter between the three of you, even though Nian is my friend, I will not be partial! But...”

Gu Changsheng paused here, her eyes shining unmistakably as she stared directly at Yue Jianjia, ”But, you colluded with Di Lanyue!”

”Gu Residence is heavily guarded, my son rarely goes out, those provocative remarks, you fed him those, didn’t you? Why? Because Yue Xilou is interested in me, you make my life miserable? Hehuan Powder is a secret medicine exclusively by The Music and Dance Academy, which has been in existence for thousands of years with strict rules, you know better than I do, how could such a secret medicine be leaked? You gave it to Di Lanyue, didn’t you?”

”You are a clever person, you knew that Zhou Mu, under the influence of Hehuan Powder, would come to me! You planned for Di Lanyue, that dunce, to be caught in our scheme, you want me ruined, to indulge in a scandal with Zhou Mu so I would no longer compete with you for Yue Xilou, right?”

”Hehe... you know everything now...” Upon hearing this, Yue Jianjia smirked charmingly, unafraid and said in a deep voice, ”That’s right, I did it all! So what? I grew up with him, always together, inseparable, I love him! Love him deeply! How could he fall in love with you?”

”Even though you clearly love Prince Mu, I can’t accept it! You say I love acting, but only through that can he spare me a glance! Borjigin Nian is the Northern Mongolian Princess, cherished and adored by many, having friends like you, but I have nothing! With a beauty unmatched, I’ve spent over thirty years just waiting for his reciprocating glance! Why must you compete with me for him? For his sake, I had someone afflict me with the Gu just to keep him by my side, but because of you both, he now stays at the Gu Residence and won’t return! Why? Why must you compete with me for him? I know he sees me as a sister, I don’t even ask for his heart; I just want him by my side!”

”I pride myself on having a beauty unmatched in the world, yet I can’t earn a single glance from him! Why? Why?”

Gu Changsheng, looking at the tragically poignant woman before her, felt a flicker of pity in her eyes.

In this world, some are obsessed with life and death, others with love and hate, she was merely someone who loved a man, a pitiful person lost in love, what was so wrong about that?

”Yue Jianjia, you know, those who cross me... have very miserable ends...” her eyelashes slightly lowered, Gu Changsheng spoke hesitantly.

”Then kill me, like that, I would be freed!” With tears streaming down, Yue Jianjia smiled enchantingly.

”Tomorrow is my bride-pride ceremony with Zhou Mu, I don’t want bloodshed in my house ruining the festivity, so, Yue Jianjia, go! You cannot stay in my house any longer!” Gu Changsheng looked at her once more, then turned and walked away.

”Yue Xilou respects and admires you, trusts you wholeheartedly, treats you as a dear older sister, think about it, really want to use this kinship to bind him, making him unhappy for a lifetime?”
