Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1160: Chapter 828: A Family of Three, Full of Laughter

Just as swords were drawn and tension filled the dining hall, with no idea how this battlefield farce would end.

A figure as graceful as a Jade Tree of Qiong Branch slowly approached, under the sunlight, his radiant face was as alluring as a blossoming peach, like dazzling rays of light that made people unable to open their eyes. His actions were so elegant and poised that it felt like this was not an ordinary noble family’s dining hall in Liaodong, but rather the Nine-Layer Heavens Pavilion!

Gu Changsheng was once again dazzled by Zhou Mu’s appearance, muttering as she opened her mouth, watching him calmly walk into the dining hall and take a seat at the guest position beside her, gulping down the saliva that almost flowed out!

Such a handsome guy!

Truly a feast for the eyes!

Look, her taste, how absolutely amazing it is! It’s simply exploding with greatness!

”Empress Xiao, please sit.” Zhou Mu gestured to the Empress Dowager Xiao, making a graceful motion, flawlessly elegant.

The Empress Dowager Xiao glared at Gu Changsheng and her son, then looked at Zhou Mu, and her temper suddenly vanished!

This man!

Even the Empress Dowager Xiao had to admit, if only Zhou Mu had been born thirty or forty years earlier, even she would have been enchanted!

Such a breathtaking young man!

Alas, she was old!

The Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and turned to sit on an empty seat nearby.

After everyone was seated, the Little Monk Bu Jie, Little Han Mo with the Black Face, and Wuchang Yue finally came together, seeing all the guests seated, the Father and Son of the Guo Family looked at the empty main seat, unsure of whether to sit or not!

This...

Looking around the table, anyone here had a much higher status than them!

Being able to have a seat before such people was already a great honor, let alone the main seat!

It made them extraordinarily anxious!

”Both of you, the food is really about to cool down, aren’t you going to sit?” Gu Changsheng picked up her chopsticks, looking at the Father and Son of the Guo Family, never touching the food, as if waiting for them to move first.

If the host didn’t start with the chopsticks, how could she, as a guest, start eating voraciously?

What on earth was this Father and Son of the Guo Family doing?

Were they deliberately trying to keep someone who understood the rules hungry? How wicked! It was truly wicked!

”Southern Emperor, this might be inappropriate...” Elder Guo looked at the empty main seat, hesitated for a moment, and said with a troubled face, not taking a single step forward.

”Elder Guo!” Gu Changsheng finally understood what these two were wrestling with, and immediately stared, ”Elder Guo, I thought you were deliberately trying to keep me hungry!”

Darn it, it was a matter of status!

Again with the status!

How Gu Changsheng wished the world would forget her identity as the Emperor of the Southern Country!

Because her usual behavior really did not align at all with the identity of the Southern Emperor! Truly!

The Father and Son of the Guo Family were taken aback by Gu Changsheng’s words, not knowing what to do for a moment!

”Why are you still standing there? Can you afford to compensate if I starve to death? Sit down and eat! I’m someone who is very particular about etiquette, if you, as the hosts, don’t start with the chopsticks, do you want me to break the rules?” Gu Changsheng was really about to lose her patience, gosh, her stomach was growling with hunger!

”I’ll tell you, if we break the rules, my father finds out, he’ll hit me! You’re serious, hurry up and eat! I don’t want to get beaten!”

What an infuriating fact!

Gu Changsheng’s father was such a stickler for the rules! Every single one of them just like that! Extremely attentive to proper conduct!

”Pfft!”

”Haha!”

”...”

The Empress Dowager Xiao, the Little Monk Bu Jie, and others immediately chuckled shamelessly upon hearing this.

Even Zhou Mu’s lips twitched slightly, but he, being very kind, did not laugh out loud, because as the son-in-law, he truly had witnessed the skills of his two fathers-in-law. Just like his wife said, if they knew they had broken the rules while out and about, letting others laugh at them, they would surely get another scolding later on!

”Please take your seats for the meal, my love speaks the truth, you are the hosts, we are the guests, I have also stated before, Father-in-law... is indeed a person not easy to contend with!” After some thought, Zhou Mu finally said to the Father and Son of the Guo Family.

Guo Luo’s eyes lit up instantly when he heard those words, suddenly remembering Zhou Mu had previously mentioned that the reason beauties were in front but he dared not pounce was because of the formidable presence of his father-in-law!

Thinking this, Guo Luo immediately turned three steps into two, and plopped himself onto the main seat.

Elder Guo, seeing his son like this, thought for a moment and quickly sat down as well, raising his hand to pick up the chopsticks in front of him, and grabbed a piece of dish to put into his mouth. Now, as the host, he had already started eating first.

Gu Changsheng was quite satisfied with this, and immediately started to move her chopsticks as well, filling her belly. However, thinking about it, she felt that something was off, and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the man who was constantly serving her and Xiao Meat Bun, ”What did you mean by those words earlier?”

What do you mean her father is indeed a tough person to deal with?

Did he really have nothing better to do than tell this to the Father and Son of the Guo Family!

Does he not know that family issues shouldn’t be aired publicly?

Although it is the truth!

”After all, I have been beaten by my father-in-law!” Zhou Mu said nonchalantly, as he placed a piece of green vegetable onto the small dish in front of her.

”Cough cough...” Gu Changsheng was so surprised by these words that she nearly sprayed the food from her mouth, looking at the man beside her with shock and wide-open eyes.

All right!

This is an undeniable fact.

In front of her father, she’s a cherished daughter. She might casually say something but her father really couldn’t bear to hit her!

But the evildoer is different!

The evildoer has already been a victim of vented anger and has been beaten!

Thinking back to the day at the Heavenly Palace Gate, when her evildoer was trapped in a formation by her father and beaten with a ruler, Gu Changsheng thought, actually, her evildoer was really quite pitiful!

Having to deal with a fierce woman like her was one thing, but also getting a fierce, protective father-in-law!

She guessed her evildoer was the one who found it most difficult to find a place to argue his case!

Poor him, pity him! Such a miserable saying!

Even Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but cast Zhou Mu a particularly sympathetic look. Not to mention everyone else present, they were all embarrassed by Zhou Mu’s blatant words.

Dowager Empress Xiao and others were better, after all, they had personally witnessed Zhou Mu being beaten by Gu Taitian, and now they were just slightly shocked by his bluntness. But the Father and Son of the Guo Family were different; this was Liaodong, and although the incident of the father-in-law instructing the son-in-law on the streets had caused quite a stir in the Capital City and even Great Zhou, it hadn’t spread that fast and hadn’t reached their ears yet.

Therefore, the Father and Son of the Guo Family immediately spat out their food and apologized repeatedly!

Gu Changsheng, embarrassedly looking at her evildoer, her face twitching, unable to speak and just buried her head in eating!

But thinking about it, she still raised her head, looked at her evildoer, and said awkwardly, ”Brave warrior, following me has made you suffer...”

Brave warrior, you really are quite commendably courageous!

Everyone present was once again rendered out of sorts by Gu Changsheng’s remark.

”Haha!” Dowager Empress Xiao laughed uncontrollably, pounding the table, the frustration accumulated inside due to Gu Changsheng and Xiao Meat Bun earlier was instantly swept away, pointing at the people opposite her, laughing heartily, ”Your family! Your whole family! You truly are hilarious! Haha...”

Receiving this unprovoked praise and entertaining everyone, Gu Changsheng pouted, picked up a piece of dish and put it in her mouth, chewing it resentfully, ”Thank you for the compliment, it is indeed deserved!”

They are just entertaining! What’s the problem?

This is a way of life, not something these ordinary mortals can understand! Humph!

Look at them, each one of them, looking as if they’ve seen a ghost, what kind of expression is this?

Truly rare and odd, lacking insight!

Magnanimous as she is, she won’t stoop to their level!

”Evildoer, eat, ignore them! They’re just a bunch of spectators! The thing is, they don’t even pay for watching!” Gu Changsheng put a piece of food into Zhou Mu’s bowl, saying resentfully.

”Alright!” Zhou Mu nodded with a smile, looking indulgent.

”Haha...”

”Hehe...”

”...”

Everyone present burst into laughter again.

The Father and Son of the Guo Family, who had initially been mindful of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s identity, were also swept up by the relaxed atmosphere and laughed along.

This meal, with everyone knowing each other’s identity, was a meeting of candid honesty and was enjoyed by hosts and guests alike, with the Father and Son of the Guo Family revealing none of their initial cautiousness, exhibiting the carefree spirit expected of Itinerant World individuals, becoming indistinguishable from when Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu first visited as guests.

Gu Changsheng was very satisfied with this, exchanging a silent, knowing smile with Zhou Mu.

Without a crown, a casual life, free and unfettered, allowing free-hearted conversation and uninhibited behavior.

After the commotion with Yu Shu in the morning, Beauty Sai, pregnant with twins, did not appear in the Dining Hall, which was in Gu Changsheng’s expectations, so after breakfast, she handed her son over to Zhou Mu, letting him take the four boys to teach them well. Gu Changsheng, under Guo Luo’s endless gratitude, headed toward the courtyard where they lived.

Along the way, Gu Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly, her expression exceptionally calm.

To be honest, she was very concerned, Beauty Sai pregnant with twins and raising them particularly well, which left Gu Changsheng deeply worried...
