Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1307: Chapter 968: Uncle Wood Is My True Love

”Can I just catch her and play with her?”

Little Meatbun asked with a face full of innocent enthusiasm.

”Sure!” Zhou Mu replied, nodding his head. His face, as if it were carved by divine hands, was full of indulgence as he looked at the little Meatbun hugging his leg.

Gu Changsheng pouted once again.

Yeah, right!

Says it like there really are soft spirits!

They even grow up eating dew. My evildoer self also wonders, why don’t these spirits just eat the wind and drink air?

Shameless to the core!

”Then Uncle Wood, can I tie her up with a rope?” Little Meatbun, hearing Zhou Mu’s answer, instantly asked with excitement.

”You can.” Zhou Mu gave a positive reply again.

”Then Uncle Wood, can I tie up the spirit and sell it for money?” With round, bright eyes, Little Meatbun seemed to see a small pile of gold right before his eyes.

”Uh...” Zhou Mu’s divine-like face froze a bit, but after thinking it over, he spoke, ”This spirit probably isn’t worth much!”

The key point is, no one might even dare to buy.

”How can that be?” Little Meatbun retorted stubbornly, ”It’ll definitely sell for lots and lots of silver! My mom said, things are precious when they’re rare. Spirits are scarce nowadays, and I’ve only ever seen one soft spirit in my entire life!”

As Little Meatbun said this, he held up a tiny finger, gesturing very seriously.

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing and interjected, ”You talk as if you’ve lived a long life, but you’re too young to even have grown any hair, acting wise beyond your years!”

Of course, that’s not the point. The point is that my son is really good at passing the buck!’

Everything is ”my mom said!”

Gu Changsheng genuinely wanted to grab her son and lecture him thoroughly, asking, ”Is it possible for you not to use me as a shield every time something happens?”

She did say rare things are valuable, but she absolutely never mentioned that spirits are expensive!

That was definitely her son’s wild imagination and far-fetched association!

”Hmph! Mom, I don’t want to talk to you! You don’t believe me!” Little Meatbun heard his mother’s voice and immediately pouted, turning his little head to one side, and said with pride, ”You said it, paths that are different should not be pursued together!”

”I...I...I can’t believe this!” Gu Changsheng was rendered speechless.

Her son was truly becoming more and more impressive!

He even learned to act all high and mighty in front of her!

Rolling up her sleeves, a touch of frustration appeared on Gu Changsheng’s face, ”A kid still wet behind the ears, you actually learned to have self-respect? And because of one spirit, you’ve elevated it to the level of principles and strategies? Why don’t you just say you want to part ways with your mother?”

If they really parted ways, she’d actually have peace of mind!

Raising a child is no easy task; it’s truly challenging!

Especially since her little Meatbun has never been an easy kid, the older he gets, the more mischievous he becomes, causing trouble one after another, and spewing philosophies left and right!

The key is, the logic he spouts, is all taught by herself!

This made Gu Changsheng feel like she was digging her own grave!

”Mom, Old Handsome Grandpa, you both don’t believe me, only Uncle Wood believes me. You both don’t really love me; only Uncle Wood truly loves me!” Little Meatbun thought for a moment, then spoke with determination.

This time, even Gu Changsheng changed his expression, casting an unfriendly glance at Zhou Mu, Gu Taitian coldly remarked, ”Zhou Mu, you better explain where this so-called soft spirit came from. If you don’t explain it clearly today, see how I’ll deal with you!”

This son-in-law of his was actually using such clumsy tactics to win favor with his precious grandson; this was something Gu Taitian couldn’t accept!

Especially seeing his precious grandson hugging Zhou Mu’s leg in such a cute and protective manner, Gu Taitian had to admit, he was a bit jealous!

This is his grandson, a member of the Gu family!

He can’t let this scheming son-in-law lead him astray!

”Reporting to you, Foster Father, the spirit Xiao Gu Ze mentioned might actually exist...” Zhou Mu thought for a moment and then spoke honestly.

”In broad daylight, where did a spirit come from?” Gu Taitian snorted coldly upon hearing this.

”Changsheng found it at the auction!” Zhou Mu said with a face full of honesty.

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst out, looking at her evildoer in disbelief and stammered, ”You lying evildoer, is it worth it to make up these stories to make Little Meatbun happy?”

”Every word of mine is true!” Casting a glance at his little woman, Zhou Mu spoke with an open and honest expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu Taitian couldn’t help but glare at his daughter and continued to ask, ”Buying a spirit at an auction? Zhou Mu, you really have a vivid imagination! So tell me, how much silver did Changsheng’s daughter spend to buy a spirit home?”

”Yeah! Say it!” Gu Changsheng echoed with gritted teeth, ”If you don’t say it, watch me fight with you!”

Dare to slander her!

Has she not carried enough blame already?

She gestured with her claws at her own evildoer, looking fierce.

Indifferent to his little woman’s gestures, Zhou Mu replied truthfully, ”Did not spend Silver.”

”Didn’t spend Silver? Ha! Why don’t you say you got money back?” Gu Changsheng heard and laughed immediately.

”Whether it’s money back or not, this Prince does not know. You may as well search her to see if she brought Silver!” Zhou Mu considered carefully and stated matter-of-factly.

”You... you...” Gu Changsheng was speechless upon hearing this.

”. Her own evildoer made up lies so convincing, almost believed to be true!

Though her own son was young, and it might be excusable for innocent childlike babbling, her evildoer was also joining the chaos!

This lot is really...

Leaving one speechless!

But it quite feels like father and son fighting together!

This made Gu Changsheng, the mom, quite envious!

However, she absolutely would not believe there’s a Spirit in this world!

Especially a soft Spirit!

Kelp Spirit? More like kelp egg flower soup!

”Ah! Ah! Mother, Grandpa, look, look, Spirit! Spirit! I said there’s a Spirit!”

Just when Gu Changsheng was internally grumbling, Little Meat Bun suddenly called out, spun around, and hid behind Zhou Mu, leaving just one small finger pointing forward...

Shuang Jiang, who had come in with a tray, paused as she heard this, a trace of bewilderment on her naturally charming face.

”Shuang Jiang!” Wang Buer at the door exclaimed upon seeing Shuang Jiang.

Alright, he’s finally realized who the soft Spirit refers to...

”Shuang Jiang...” Gu Changsheng looked at Shuang Jiang, somewhat blank, opened her mouth foolishly, ”Why are you here?”

Shuang Jiang, hearing this, snapped out of Little Meat Bun’s shout, stepped into the guest room, bent over in salute, and respectfully said, ”Subordinate Liaodong Dark Guard Commander Jin Shuangjiang, commanded by the Empress Dowager to serve by the lord’s side! Subordinate pays respects to The Lord, the master, the son-in-law, and the Young Prince!”

Gu Changsheng was a bit dumbfounded listening, until her old father called Jin Shuangjiang to rise, then foolishly asked Shuang Jiang, ”Your surname is Jin? From the Liaodong Royal Family?”

”Reply to the master, yes!”

”Sent by Empress Dowager Xiao?” Gu Changsheng continued to ask.

”Reply to the master, yes! Aunt-grandmother worried after leaving, fewer people by the master’s side, thus sent subordinate.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng burst into laughter, stepped forward, heartily patted Shuang Jiang’s shoulder, and said, ”If you had told me earlier! Empress Dowager Xiao really sent such a charming beauty over, going around such a big circle, isn’t this wasting time creating misunderstandings? Directly over to me would be better! I have never had much resistance towards beauties, always open to accepting!”

Gu Taitian saw his daughter suddenly turn mischievous, shook his head helplessly.

Nearby Zhou Mu couldn’t help but cover his mouth and fake a cough, reminding his little woman not to get carried away.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng realized her slip of the tongue, quickly fake-coughed, easing the awkwardness.

”Well, Mother, this soft Spirit isn’t a Spirit?” Little Meat Bun, face full of uncertainty, timidly poked half his little head out from behind Zhou Mu, asked.

”Slap!” A little hand slapped his little head, Gu Changsheng disdainfully said, ”Spirit! Spirit, you big-headed ghost! I gave you such big eyes, are they just for decoration? Look carefully, this is a person! A living person!”

”But, how can a person’s waist twist like a pretzel?” Little Meat Bun, rubbing his hit little head, asked puzzledly, ”And she’s grown so Spirit-like!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but glance at Shuang Jiang.

Alright, must admit, her son has quite an eye.

Growing like Shuang Jiang, even without twisting like a pretzel, looks like a real captivating Spirit!

Can’t blame her son for mistaking!

Upon hearing this, Shuang Jiang finally understood why, upon entering, the little prince called her a Spirit, reached forward with the tray, her enchanting face full of helplessness, explained, ”This courtyard has a small pond, subordinate just collected fresh dew from the flower trees by the pond to make tea...”

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng hurriedly came forward, lowered her head, smelled the tea in the teapot, and enjoyingly sniffed the nose, said, ”Indeed, the taste of tea brewed from dew, the aroma soothing, even carries a faint floral scent, but Shuang Jiang, how did collecting dew bend your waist like a pretzel? Look, you scared my Little Meat Bun!”

Shuang Jiang, hearing this, hurriedly stepped back, respectfully said, ”Subordinate has sinned...”
