Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 608 - 457 The Parachuted Mother

There’s an old saying that birds of a feather flock together, and Gu Changsheng felt there was something quite chaotic about the crowd she ended up with!

Since she had traveled to this time and space, it had been neither long nor short, but at least half a year had passed. Along the way, after many stumbles, she’d finally settled into a few quiet days. Why would someone so destitute insist on spending a hundred taels of silver to take her life?

This was simply an insult of the highest order!

After all, she’d worked hard to become prosperous and affluent, transforming into a beauty with wealth, and conquered a handsome and wealthy man. Damn it, how did she manage to end up with her worth decreased instead of increased?

This was unscientific!

So, Gu Changsheng’s mood was no longer so beautiful right then. ƒreewebɳovel.com

She racked her brains, trying to recall if she’d ever made enemies with any poor people. It didn’t seem likely!

Seeing her like this, Yue Xilou knew she was definitely not thinking about anything good and immediately rolled her eyes, choosing to ignore her!

As for Borjigin Nian, who insisted on acting cool and distant, she kept her mouth shut, the very picture of gentle and virtuous poise!

Gu Changsheng found this rather frustrating.

With nothing to worry about, her mind really was getting less and less useful the more idle she was!

"Wife! Wife, something terrible has happened!" Song Mu ran over in a panic from the distance, yelling loudly as he approached.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng snapped out of her thoughts, and you can imagine how she reacted!

She absolutely detested that particular way of speaking!

"Song... Mu!" Gu Changsheng climbed up from the soft couch, looking at the panting Song Mu, and started speaking through gritted teeth, "Damn it, it’s already the twelfth lunar month, and soon it’ll be the New Year. If you dare to curse me with bad news one more time, I will beat you so badly your own mother won’t recognize you!"

Damn it, she really meant it!

This particular kind of announcement always made her feel as if dark clouds were loomed over her head!

"Ptooey ptooey ptooey! Look at this mouth of mine!" Under Gu Changsheng’s glare, Xiao Song Mu hurriedly slapped himself a few times. After he finished, he looked around, sensing something off, and after thinking it over, he decided to speak up, "That... Wife, I don’t have a mother..."

He was an orphan beggar picked up from the streets and trained by Uncle Song!

For the wife to want him beaten until even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him was truly a bit difficult!

"You!" Gu Changsheng was momentarily speechless upon hearing this, pointing at Song Mu and stammering to find her words.

Damn it, she realized she had been too indulgent with her family members. Now, one after another, they were all stepping over her head, taking turns to choke her unexpectedly!

Her fragile little heart might very well burst with anger one of these days!

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and get lost quickly right after you’re done! I don’t even want to see you for a single minute more. I’m really afraid I won’t be able to control my hands!" Gu Changsheng took a few deep breaths as she steadied her mind before speaking to Song Mu.

Damn it, someone was currently offering a hundred taels of silver for her life!

Didn’t he see her deep in meditation, trying to guess who it might be?

What was he adding to the chaos at this time?

Regarding Flower Peacock, damn it, she would definitely not tell her who wanted her life. So, it was up to Gu Changsheng to figure it out herself!

"That... Wife, a half-dead beggar woman has come to our door, insisting on forcing her way in, unable to be shooed away!" Upon hearing this, Song Mu quickly spoke up.

"Aren’t there always such issues? Which big family’s doorsteps don’t encounter such a thing now and then? Just send her away!" Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, suddenly became utterly disinterested.

She had thought something entertaining might spice up her boring life a little!

But now, isn’t she disappointed?

Life indeed rarely sparkles with excitement, more often it’s dull and insipid!

"But..." Upon hearing this, Song Mu hesitated, glanced at everyone in the room, and after a moment of deliberation, he finally spoke to his wife, "But... that beggar woman says she’s your mother!"

"What!"

"Wow!"

At that, everyone was suddenly shocked.

Gu Changsheng even tumbled off the soft couch quite ungracefully.

Just when she seemed about to embrace Mother Earth, Gu Changsheng came back to her senses from the shock and hastily summoned her Inner Strength to hold herself up.

After floundering to steady herself, Gu Changsheng instantly appeared in front of Song Mu, grabbing his shoulders incredulously and asking, "What did you say? My mother?"

Heavenly Father, could she have heard wrong?

Hadn’t her mother died centuries ago? There was still a tombstone in the Madam Gu family cemetery!

She had even been dragged by Uncle Song to burn copious amounts of paper money during the Ghost Festival!

Why is there suddenly a mother appearing out of nowhere?

"Mother... Madam... That’s what the person said, there’s no mistake!" Song Mu was dizzy from being shaken, but he still hurriedly replied.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately let go of his shoulders and unthinkingly took a step back, his entire being looking utterly bereft, "Oh my lord! Have my damn lips been blessed, and now my brain too?"

"How come nothing good works and only the bad comes true, is the old Heavens really against me?"

It must be said that not too long ago, Gu Changsheng had also wondered if the biological mother of this body had really died!

She was a woman from the former Imperial Family of the Southern Border, and even if she came to the Central Plains, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was from the Southern Border Royal Family. How could she just mysteriously give birth to me and then die? That doesn’t make any sense! Right?

The script normally wouldn’t write it like that, right?

Gu Changsheng had used his Eight Trigrams logic to deduce, and always felt that, damn it, her "mother" who looked almost identical to her, might actually have a chance of being alive!

Considering the way Heavenly Father seemed to mess with her, it was indeed possible that a living person could be changed, and produce a mother for her!

"Gu Changsheng, you don’t actually have a mother who’s a begging hag, do you?" Borjigin Nian hesitated, but still timidly asked.

Standing to the side, Yue Xilou was slightly frowning, deep in thought.

"What do you mean I have a mother who’s a begging hag? Do I get to choose my mother?" Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, immediately gave Borjigin Nian a disdainful look, and retorted angrily, "You think everyone is like you, with a father who’s a Khan!"

There are two things in life that one can’t control: the first is one’s birth, and the second is one’s genes!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t decide who her parents were. You think she actually enjoyed being related to some mystical and strange former Imperial Family of the Southern Border?

A complete joke, isn’t it? She’s someone who’s content with her current situation!

After waving Song Mu away, Gu Changsheng looked at the family members around her and started to speak hesitantly, "However, having a mother would be quite nice. I already have a foster father, if I had a mother too, then I’d have both parents!"

Something that was never fulfilled in both lives, wouldn’t that be nearing fulfillment now?

Not to mention Flower Peacock longed for parental love, Gu Changsheng’s heart also longed for it!

"Girl!" Yue Xilou looked at Gu Changsheng, who was tidying up her clothes, and uttered gravely.

"Yes?" Gu Changsheng replied, looking up.

She was a bit excited now, tidying up and preparing to go out to welcome the newcomer!

Upon seeing Gu Changsheng look up, Yue Xilou couldn’t help observing her and after frowning thoughtfully for a moment, still said, "Girl, don’t get your hopes up too high. The person outside may not be your biological mother."

"What! What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Changsheng immediately exclaimed indignantly, "Is someone daring to falsely claim kinship at my door now?"

Although cases of false kinship claims were not uncommon in noble families, up until now, there had never been such an incident at Gu Changsheng’s residence!

"Girl, as far as I know, your mother died shortly after you were born. That’s common knowledge among your neighbors!" Yue Xilou said earnestly.

"But..." Gu Changsheng started to argue, but after saying two words, she didn’t know how to continue!

"There’s no ’but.’ No matter who she is, or what her status is, she’s still human, with only one life, and the dead cannot come back to life!" Yue Xilou looked at Gu Changsheng with a serious face and said, "So, don’t hold out too much hope, the person who came definitely cannot be your mother."

Gu Changsheng felt as though doused with a bucket of cold water, and her spirits drooped instantly.

"Why can’t you give me a shred of hope? Flower Peacock, this is a classic case of not wanting to see others celebrate the New Year!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but complain.

Damn it, both of Flower Peacock’s parents were alive; even if they weren’t close, they were still there, right?

In contrast, Gu Changsheng was more miserable. Who else was like her, without a father or a mother in her past life, and damn it, without a father or a mother in this life too?

"Girl, there are some things you probably can guess. Whatever person your mother was, in any case, she would never be destitute enough to be reduced to a begging hag. This matter is definitely not what you think or wish for, so you better not hold out any hope!" Seeing this, Yue Xilou couldn’t help sighing, and still decided to ruthlessly shatter Gu Changsheng’s fantasy.

The string of excitement in Gu Changsheng suddenly snapped!

Yue Xilou was right, who was her mother after all? A person from the former Imperial Family of the Southern Border! Even if she was at her wits’ end, she wouldn’t be reduced to a beggar!

So, she was still a child without a mother!

"Children with mothers are treasures, while children without mothers are like blades of grass!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh to the heavens, and then her expression suddenly sagged, "Stop standing there, come with me to the front yard and watch the excitement!"

"I want to see who’s the fool looking for a whipping, daring to impersonate my mother!"

As Gu Changsheng spoke, she rubbed her hands together and strode outside.

Her mother, such an aloof and elegant person, looked very much like her. If she were to turn into a beggar, Gu Changsheng really couldn’t accept it!

It wasn’t about her status; just the thought of someone wearing her face, looking like a beggar, made her feel disgusted and uncomfortable!

"Flower Peacock, once I deal with the death seeker, I’ll come after you!" Gu Changsheng said to Yue Xilou, who was following her, with a mischievous look...
