Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1234: Chapter 900: A Dead Pig Fears No Scalding Water

That’s right!

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s faces turned black!

Gu Changsheng thought, in this lifetime, she’d probably never meet another who dared to mock her and her evildoer so brazenly!

This Wang Buer truly has some guts; saying he’s reckless is simply not doing justice to his demeanor!

“Wang Buer!” Gu Changsheng slammed the table, looking somewhat annoyed and angry at the clueless Wang Buer in front of her, and shouted.

“At your service.” Wang Buer blinked, stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed.

“Master, calm down!” Jin Rong quickly stepped forward to plead.

“I want to calm down, but look at this Wang Buer, where on earth did you find such an oddball? Why do I feel like he’s just like a dead pig that doesn’t fear boiling water?” Gu Changsheng pointed at Wang Buer, tongue-tied.

Damn it, she was really ticked off by Wang Buer!

It wasn’t the type of furious anger, just a kind of speechless irritation!

If you vent it, it feels like making a mountain out of a molehill, but if you don’t, it just feels a bit stifling!

This feeling is genuinely quite unpleasant!

“Master! I’ve always been like this!” Wang Buer looked at his master, bowed his head, and said earnestly.

“Damn! Who exactly raised you to be like this?” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng struggled with her emotions, took a deep breath, and asked.

“The Empress Dowager!” Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s question, Wang Buer blinked and replied promptly.

“Bang!”

As Wang Buer finished speaking, a loud noise was heard.

Raising his eyes, he saw his master stagger back into the son-in-law’s arms, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch.

Clearly, his master just wanted to take advantage of the son-in-law, getting a bit closer, did she really need to feign such a shocked expression?

“The Empress Dowager? Dowager Empress Xiao?” Gu Changsheng lay in Zhou Mu’s arms, her face distraught, clawing at her evildoer’s sleeve, saying, “A conspiracy! This is a conspiracy! Evildoer, I knew that Dowager Empress Xiao was up to no good!”

“I even thought she knew there’d be treasures at the auction, so she specially asked my father to bring us here. Turns out, it was just my wishful thinking! She really is crying fake tears like a cat mourning a mouse, up to no good! This Wang Buer was totally a trap she set for me, right? She definitely knew I’d end up like this with Wang Buer…”

Zhou Mu looked at the little woman in his arms, on the verge of tears, with a doting helplessness on his face!

He loved being by her side, even if he said nothing, just watching her every move made him feel incredibly at ease, this woman was never artificial, no! Perhaps one could say she lived in wanton flamboyance, magnifying every bit of joy and happiness she encountered in life, and ignoring all unpleasantness!

Sometimes, those slightly exaggerated expressions she made felt so natural, as if it was meant to be that way, such expressions and gestures on her just felt justified!

This made him constantly guess what her expression would be in different situations…

Never tiring of it!

“Master, your words are wrong; there truly are treasures at the auction. In this regard, the Empress Dowager wasn’t lying!” Wang Buer looked at his master and continued, somewhat clueless.

“Then why didn’t your Empress Dowager tell me that you, this oddball, were holding down the fort here?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately replied.

Oddball!

This guy is truly a top-class oddball!

“I’ve been holding down the fort here for quite a while now; I guess the Empress Dowager must’ve forgotten,” Wang Buer sniffed, with a sense of desolation.

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, paused, and was engulfed by the sudden desolate emotion from this delicate man, suddenly unsure of what to say.

Gu Changsheng hadn’t quite adjusted yet when Wang Buer had already returned to normal!

The desolate emotion vanished in an instant, and his face once again carried a nonchalant smile, as if he never took anything to heart. He blinked his big eyes at Gu Changsheng and asked, “So, Master, should we present this Breath Seeking Pearl to the Lord or not?”

“No!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately glared at Wang Buer. If looks could kill, she would have torn this man apart!

Damn!

At a time like this, he still remembers that!

“Oh… okay then…” Wang Buer replied upon hearing this, but the look in his eyes as he gazed at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu was filled with a certain depth…

“Evi… Evildoer… What kind of look is that? What kind of look?” Gu Changsheng’s body trembled with anger at Wang Buer’s gaze!

Damn, why could she clearly see a message in Wang Buer’s eyes: You’re not filial, you’re not filial…

To be honest, not bidding on the Breath Seeking Pearl for her father might indeed seem a bit unfilial…

But can’t he stop looking at her as if he’s just uncovered some incredible secret?

Sheesh, she hasn’t done anything to feel guilty about!

“Changsheng…” Zhou Mu looked at his little woman who was quivering with anger, and his eyes showed more helplessness and even more doting affection as he patted her shoulder and softly said, “Stay calm, stay calm…”

“Yes, yes! Stay calm! Stay calm! I’m not angry! I’m not going to argue with a guy who’s ‘bent’…” Upon Zhou Mu’s words, Gu Changsheng took a few deep breaths, then suddenly thought of something and leaned over the table towards Wang Buer, her phoenix eyes blinking, staring intently at him…

“L-Lord… what are you looking at? I like men…” Even Wang Buer, who usually didn’t care about external matters, was unnerved by Gu Changsheng’s gaze, and involuntarily stepped back, speaking nervously.

“I’m just curious, have you turned the City Lord of Licheng, Yan Qingcheng, yet? Assimilated him yet? Has he yielded to you yet?” Gu Changsheng blinked her long lashes, speaking thoughtfully.

As soon as Gu Changsheng finished her words, Wang Buer’s face darkened considerably. After a while, he managed to say with a stiff expression, “No…”

“Ha!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately burst into laughter, the frustration from being repeatedly blocked by Wang Buer dissipated all at once, as she pointed at him with a face full of schadenfreude, and said, “See! I knew it! You must be unable to adjust, taking revenge on society!”

At her words, a deep sense of helplessness appeared on Wang Buer’s handsome face.

That sense of loneliness once again spread throughout his body, drastically different from his previously indifferent, carefree demeanor!

“Lord…”

Even Jin Rong, standing by, could hardly bear it, looking at their lord with a pleading expression, hoping she wouldn’t continue!

“Uh…” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng awkwardly rubbed her nose.

Oops!

She’d hit a sore spot!

She didn’t expect that the seemingly indifferent Wang Buer could reveal such an expression!

That sense of helplessness, desolation, that feeling of silent sorrow…

It was as if the entire world had abandoned him…

Thinking about how she had caused him such a loss, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a bit guilty. She glanced at her evildoer and, after thinking a bit, tentatively said, “Hey, Wang Buer, can you tell me what’s really going on between you two? You’ve chased him all the way to Licheng. What’s he thinking?”

“He said that unless the Yan Family agrees, we can’t be together…” Wang Buer replied absentmindedly, his head lowered.

“Uh…” Upon hearing this, a spark of realization flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, and she quickly moved closer to Wang Buer, eagerly asking, “Do you mean it’s not him who has the issue, but his family?”

“Yes, he is the legitimate son of the Yan Family. You know what kind of lineage the Yan Family has, this kind of thing, they’d rather hide than allow it…” Wang Buer explained timidly.

“So, has Yan Qingcheng married yet?”

“Not yet!”

“How old is he now?”

“Twenty-six.”

“Haha… Wang Buer, you are such a wooden club!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately laughed, quite unrestrainedly.

“Lord?” Wang Buer was puzzled, looking at Gu Changsheng as if he couldn’t understand.

“A legitimate son from a prestigious family, already twenty-six, and still hasn’t married. Wang Buer, do you think this is normal? He’s the City Lord of Licheng, and you followed him here. If he didn’t want to be tangled up with you, he could’ve simply refused the position. Why go through such love and hate drama with you?” Gu Changsheng pointed at Wang Buer, laughing, “Didn’t you get his point? He has no objection; it’s his family that does! So, you should be happy, why look so disheartened?”

“Really? Lord, are you serious?” At those words, Wang Buer jumped three feet high with joy and asked excitedly.

“Of course, it’s often clearer to an outsider. This matter is unmistakable!” Gu Changsheng nodded confidently, also pointing at the people beside her, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask my evildoer or Jin Rong.”

“Yes, actually, if Yan Qingcheng weren’t the City Lord of Licheng, and he returned to the Yan Family, you really wouldn’t have much choice, Buer. You couldn’t possibly demand him from Duke Yan’s Mansion, could you?”

“Yeah.” Even Zhou Mu nodded in agreement, endorsing his woman’s speculation.

Wang Buer looked at the three people present, his eyes suddenly shining brightly. An inner joy instantly spread across his delicate face, as he looked at his lord with a face full of anticipation and eagerly asked, “Lord, what should I do now? How can I be with him?”
