Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1298: Chapter 960: Changsheng the Middleman!

”Wang Buer, Yan Qingcheng, given the current situation is fraught with intrigue and unpredictability, you mustn’t immerse yourselves in personal matters and delay our important business. Our Liaodong has now wholly submitted to the Southern Country. The safety of our master and the young prince is a matter of national importance to Liaodong Country and must not be taken lightly! Convey my secret orders from Liaodong. Yan Qingcheng, gather the Liaodong army and station at Licheng City in the north. Wang Buer, command the hidden guards of the eight northern cities and await further orders!”

At this point, Shuang Jiang’s slender and enchanting body paused slightly, and she continued in a deep voice, ”If anything happens to the master and the young prince outside, I, under the authority of the Imperial Secret Guards’ commander of Liaodong Royal Family, permit you to act at your discretion without waiting for orders to mobilize troops!”

Wang Buer and Yan Qingcheng’s expressions turned solemn upon hearing this, and they immediately bowed and cupped their fists.

”Yan Qingcheng will diligently obey the commander’s orders!”

”Wang Buer will diligently obey the commander’s orders!”

”Haha...” On the steps above, Shuang Jiang smiled charmingly and waved her hand, ”Alright, this humble servant will now go to find the master and the son-in-law to volunteer as a maid serving tea and water...”

Upon hearing this, Wang Buer’s mouth twitched slightly, and after a brief thought, he said, ”Shuang Jiang, um... can you really handle that?”

Hearing this, Shuang Jiang turned back at the steps, her enchanting eyes glancing slightly at Wang Buer with playful reproach, tossing her long hair, she said, ”Even if this humble servant can’t handle serving tea and water, being an eye-catching ornament is something I’m quite adept at! The master, it seems, values this trait quite a bit, doesn’t she? Haha...”

Laughing, Shuang Jiang’s slender silhouette turned and disappeared behind the dark doorway.

Wang Buer watched Shuang Jiang’s disappearing figure for a while before coming to his senses, unable to help but stomp his foot and said resentfully, ”See, I was right, wasn’t I? With the master’s visit, we’re bound to lose both our wives and soldiers! And now even Shuang Jiang got involved, such a loss!”

”Alright...” Yan Qingcheng heard this and began to speak soothingly in a low voice.

”Not alright!” Wang Buer retorted instinctively.

”...”

”...”

The two continued to bicker fiercely...

Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu bickered all along the way, only returning to the inn to find, at their little bun’s room door, a father standing with a dark face, gazing at the moon!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mu immediately straightened his expression, stopped, bowed, and greeted, ”This son-in-law greets Father-in-law.”

Gu Changsheng burst into laughter!

”Hey! Old dad, today’s moon is really something...” Gu Changsheng left her evildoer behind and promptly trotted over to her dad, performed a curtsy, bowed her head, and greeted, ”Daughter greets father, may father be blessed with longevity and health!”

Compared to her evildoer, Gu Changsheng’s bow was quite unstandard, and her greetings even more absurd!

However, it was clear that Gu Taitian wasn’t concerned about that, as he immediately snorted coldly upon hearing this, glanced at his daughter with discontent, and said with a displeased face, ”I am not well! I sent you to attend an auction, and you dare stay out all night!”

”The son-in-law is at fault, I beg father-in-law for punishment.” Zhou Mu acknowledged his mistake promptly.

Even in front of Emperor Zhoulin, Zhou Mu had never been so meek.

This made Gu Changsheng quite helpless indeed!

She could only smile endearingly, reach out, and hold her father’s arm, shaking it while saying, ”How is it that we stayed out all night? It’s not even light yet, is it?”

If her father found out about the mess she made at the auction house, he would never stop berating her, would he?

So, this defense was impossible!

She could only play with words!

”It isn’t light, but the moon is already moving west!” Upon hearing this, Gu Taitian immediately raised his hand and knocked his daughter’s forehead with annoyance, pointing at the two of them, ”Tell me, do you really have any awareness of being parents? Haven’t you forgotten that your good grandson is still here? While he was sleeping, he kept wondering why you hadn’t returned, he was worried sick!”

Upon her father’s mention of her little bun, Gu Changsheng immediately pursed her lips.

Her son, well, he’s quite a clever little ghost!

He knows how to act obediently in front of the elders!

Who knows where he learned it from? Gu Changsheng felt, without a doubt, she hadn’t taught him, otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense that as a mother she’d be less favored by her father and foster father, right?

All day long, catching trivial matters, they never ceased lecturing her, but when it came to her little bun, they immediately transformed into model grandfathers; that’s her dad and foster father to a T!

Grandparent love skips a generation; it’s an illness that needs treatment!

Especially when it skips Gu Changsheng’s generation, which left her deeply resentful, sometimes even envious, and jealous of her own little bun!

”Zhou Mu, Changsheng is reckless every day, have you also lost track of time? You’re not even married yet, how can you be out all night? Tell me!” Just as Gu Changsheng was silently grumbling, Gu Taitian’s gaze shifted, directing his dissatisfaction towards Zhou Mu standing silently by.

Hearing this, three black lines immediately appeared on Gu Changsheng’s forehead.

As expected, there’s no such thing as least favored, only more or less favored!

My own evildoer is obviously more unfavored than me. My foster father beats him with a broom, and my old dad is even worse, always wanting to give him a lecture at the slightest provocation...

So miserable...

Zhou Mu heard this and couldn’t help but break into a sweat, even with a face resembling the Divine Residence. In front of his legitimate father-in-law, he had no choice but to lower his proud head slightly and said warmly, ”This son-in-law was at fault...”

”Fault, what fault? We didn’t do anything wrong, we were handling serious matters!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t bear to see his evildoer looking so aggrieved for her sake and couldn’t help but interrupt.

”If nothing happened, then why are your lips more swollen than when you left? Do you take me for someone who didn’t study medicine? Hmph!” Gu Taitian coldly retorted upon hearing his daughter’s words.

Zhou Mu’s proud head instantly drooped even lower, and all that could be seen was his ink-black long hair hanging from his sturdy back...

Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng instinctively covered her own mouth, her face full of terror.

Oh my god, her old dad’s words were so blunt!

It had quite the catch-the-adultery-in-act kind of vibe!

Moreover, her dad’s pair of deep, profound eyes kept darting back and forth between her and Zhou Mu, as if searching for other clues...

Under her dad’s gaze, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt all her goosebumps rising!

Please don’t look at me like that!

It’s like an X-ray machine trying to see through everything, making her extremely embarrassed!

”Ahem! Haha... Dad, we acquired a Geomancy Map Fragment of the Divine Demise Land, and found the Tears of the Goddess. We’re one step clearer on the path to resurrecting Mom. Dad, quickly take a look!” Gu Changsheng, with an awkward smile, had to brazenly change the topic.

Oh my god, if this continues, she’ll have to dig a hole and bury herself!

It’s utterly embarrassing!

She doesn’t believe it. When it concerns her dad, he won’t have his attention diverted!

Sure enough, the next moment, Gu Taitian’s face, which couldn’t conceal its aged elegance, suddenly showed a look of ecstasy. He no longer cared to question why his daughter and son-in-law returned late and immediately urged, ”Where is it? Bring it for me to see!”

”Here! Here! Dad, let’s go to the room and take a leisurely look!” Upon seeing this, Gu Changsheng displayed a cunning smile and gestured to her evildoer, leading the way to her dad’s room.

In the guest room, Zhou Mu placed the two Geomancy Map Fragments on the table, then stepped back, making space for Gu Taitian.

Gu Taitian eagerly looked over the geomancy map, his face full of joyful contemplation.

”Dad, the Geomancy Map Fragments are divided into six parts. We currently have two, but don’t worry, Dad. We’ll definitely collect the remaining four before entering the Divine Demise Land!” Gu Changsheng assured her dad confidently.

”Hmm.” Gu Taitian nodded, still focused on the Geomancy Map Fragments of the Divine Demise Land.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng discreetly signaled her evildoer with a glance, which conveyed only one message: retreat!

If not now, when would be better?

Should they wait for her dad to come to his senses from the joy of resurrecting her mom and settle accounts later?

Receiving the signal from his little woman, Zhou Mu’s angular face showed a slight smile, his lips curved, and he really began to retreat silently without saying goodbye!

The father-in-law’s deep love for his daughter, whom Zhou Mu also loves, is something he accepts, even if he occasionally suffers some criticism. Furthermore, his little woman always sides with him. This feeling is quite subtle, and in his heart, he’s actually extremely happy!

Seeing her evildoer about to exit the guest room, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, this father-in-law’s fault-finding nature with his son-in-law, she really can’t cure!

Both are the most important men in her heart, and being caught between her dad and the evildoer, she’s really troubled!

Being the middle of this sandwich feels really...

Indescribable in words!

It’s pain mixed with joy! Endless banter all day long!

Her evildoer is also quite miserable. Others have just one father-in-law, but he has two, both of whom are hard to deal with. To think just to be with her, he probably endured the biggest grievances of his life!

Gu Changsheng firmly believes that her evildoer, in this lifetime, has probably never been so gentle and humble to anyone!

”Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye?” Just as Zhou Mu had one foot over the threshold, a nonchalant voice rang out...
