Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 622 - 469: The Woman Who Came to Challenge Changsheng

Chapter 622: Chapter 469: The Woman Who Came to Challenge Changsheng

Song Mu’s voice successfully halted the jeering and accusing voices in the hall!

Everyone turned their heads towards the entrance, towards Xiao Song Mu standing there, his face a picture of innocent confusion.

"You! You should have said: someone is looking for death!" Gu Changsheng said gravely, his face dark as he stiffly turned his neck to look at Song Mu.

"Uh..." At these words, Song Mu was suddenly struck dumb!

He was a dutiful kid, after all! What on earth had happened in the residence, for his wife to act so... so improperly?

"Haha! Who is it that’s so blind, stirring up trouble in the Gu Residence during the New Year?" Borjigin Nian laughed gleefully.

"This is truly like running headlong into the barrel of a gun!" Yue Xilou, who had been observing with detachment, couldn’t help but shake his head and comfort Gu Changsheng, "Don’t be angry, after winning that sachet you’ve been staring at it a thousand times a day, the one who should be angry is that kid Zhou Mu! If he doesn’t appreciate his good fortune, I, as the Tower Master, really wouldn’t mind stepping in!"

"Can we finally stop talking about the sachet?" Gu Changsheng demanded, suddenly losing her temper, stamping her foot in frustration and turning towards Xiao Song Mu.

Damn it, she really had had enough!

How could this group be so cruel, pouncing on someone’s weakness and mercilessly trampling it?

Wasn’t she just a tiny bit inferior in needlework?

No! To be precise, she was worlds apart!

But she was a Medicine Lady, not a Weaving Mother! Did they really think she was proficient in everything?

Though it was true that sacrificing one for the entertainment of the family wasn’t bad,

she really didn’t possess such a noble character to sacrifice herself for others!

"Xiao Song Mu, who is the blind one looking to cause trouble?" Gu Changsheng asked threateningly, lifting Song Mu up and staring at him with a fierce look.

Hallelujah, should she thank this troublemaker?

Finding her something to distract from the relentless mockery filling the room?

"Mistress! Mistress! It’s a very beautiful girl, who looks very gentle and quiet!" Xiao Song Mu, hoisted into the air by his mistress, kicked his legs and promptly reported.

Gu Changsheng narrowed her eyes at this description, then delivered a smack, "Beautiful? Gentle and quiet? And looking to stir up trouble? Are you messing with me?"

The others nodded in agreement at her words.

It made sense, didn’t it? What gentle and beautiful young lady would go looking to stir up trouble?

It’s completely contradictory, right?

Under the doubtful gazes of the crowd, Song Mu broke into a cold sweat as he anxiously explained, "Don’t disbelieve! It really was a very beautiful and gentle-looking person!"

"A beautiful and gentle person, how can they stir up trouble? Now explain that to me!" Gu Changsheng asked coolly, shrugging the Xiao Song Mu in her hand.

"She said she wants to challenge you, Mistress! Even called for a duel to the death!" Song Mu instantly explained.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened, and she pointed to herself incredulously, "She wants a duel to the death with me?"

Damn it, was this some kind of joke? Coming to Liuzhou City, to her doorstep, and asking her for a duel to the death?

Was this some bold dragon who didn’t know whether to live or die, challenging her, the local tycoon, to a duel?

Didn’t they know that Liuzhou City was her territory?

"Interesting, let’s go have a look!" Gu Changsheng’s face grew serious as she mulled it over, then set down Xiao Song Mu and strode towards the front courtyard.

She wanted to see for herself who this beautiful, gentle troublemaker was, who dared provoke her!

Hmph!

"Let’s go, there’s a good show to watch!" Borjigin Nian, excited, dragged Yue Xilou by the arm, said with high spirits, "Gu Changsheng has been obsessed with that sachet for days, got ridiculed by us to no end, she’s simmering with anger just looking for a way to vent. Now someone has come crashing in, and surely there will be a good show to watch!"

His arm was caught, and Yue Xilou struggled but to no avail, and eventually was dragged by Borjigin Nian towards the front courtyard with a sullen face.

"Young Master, let’s go! Watch the drama!" Si Xi was terribly excited, picked up the little meat bun from the ground, and rushed to the front courtyard!

"Let’s go, let’s go! The residence has been quiet for too long; finally, there’s some fun!" Zhou Zongbao was rubbing his hands together, eagerly following the crowd.

And so, a whole family of bored people promptly moved in groups towards the front yard!

Poor things, it had been too peaceful recently, making them unbearably bored!

"Let Gu Changsheng come out! I want to challenge her!"

Before even reaching the front courtyard, Gu Changsheng heard an extremely arrogant voice!

Her eyebrows twitching, Gu Changsheng glanced at Xiao Song Mu beside her and muttered, "This is called gentle and quiet? Are you setting up your mistress?"

Xiao Song Mu’s understanding of gentleness and quietness was ludicrous!

Later, she must have little Guoguo thoroughly explain to Xiao Song Mu the meaning of gentleness and quietness!

"Mistress!" Song Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Really, she did look gentle and quiet! I swear I’ll skip dinner tonight if I’m lying!"

"Wow, that’s no small bet!" Gu Changsheng remarked, raising her eyebrows.

For Xiao Song Mu, who had once begged on the streets, not eating dinner was severely serious!

With this in mind, Gu Changsheng’s curiosity was piqued. She waved her hand to the several respectful boys by the door and spoke nonchalantly, "Open the middle gate wide; I want to see who has the gall to challenge me!"

Damn it, she was just looking for someone to vent on!

What is this? Someone brings a pillow when you’re dozing off?

It’s just that she had someone throwing themselves at her to become her punching bag due to her pent-up anger!

Damn it! Stop thinking about the word ’punching bag’! It’s too damaging to her internal organs!

"Gu Changsheng! Calm down, don’t be angry! Getting angry ages you!" Borjigin Nian was trying to appease her, but her face was clearly looking forward to the show.

Gu Changsheng looked at the kids who had opened the door and couldn’t even be bothered to roll her eyes at her!

She was really fed up with Borjigin Nian’s schadenfreude!

When she had time, she definitely needed to have a little ’exchange’ with her, to communicate their profound "friendship"!

In no time at all, the eight large sandalwood doors were wide open, and the scene outside was clear at a glance!

As usual, whenever there is a stir outside the Gu Residence, it never fails to draw a crowd of onlookers!

This time even more so!

The crowd really was packed in layers both inside and out, blocking off any escape!

All that met the eyes were swarming heads, and all that filled the ears were whispers!

And outside the gate, below the steps, stood a finely dressed young lady standing out from the crowd!

Gu Changsheng took a few strides forward, then couldn’t help but look down!

Damn, you’ve got to admit, she’s quite beautiful!

That demeanor, truly quiet and demure, gave off an air of scholarly grace! She was much like her foster father, exuding an inner sense of elegance!

But thinking back to the full, domineering shouts she had just heard, Gu Changsheng was utterly convinced, damn it, it must be her imagination!

This lady truly was an enigma, a bundle of contradiction, blending demure elegance and arrogance in one!

"Godfather!"

A cry of shock came from behind her!

Gu Changsheng turned around at the sound, only to see Borjigin Nian running away in a mad dash, which left her puzzled. She called out to Borjigin Nian, "Hey! What are you running for?"

Is there a need to be so dramatic?

This new arrival didn’t look much like a tiger! Why so scary?

To scare away even the fearless Borjigin Nian!

What on earth is going on here?

Could it be someone they know?

Yue Xilou frowned as she watched Borjigin Nian flee hastily, as if her tail had been bitten, disappearing behind the curtain.

The crowd, too, was at a loss!

"Mother Tigress, this person seems to be even more intimidating than you!" Zhou Zongbao couldn’t help but edge closer to Gu Changsheng and started speaking nervously.

That damn Borjigin Nian girl, always fearless and refusing to heed anyone’s words, had just taken one look at the newcomer and ran off!

How horrifying that must be!

Gu Changsheng gave Zhou Zongbao a white look upon hearing his words.

"Mommy, she and grandpa give off a similar vibe! She looks so polite, not like a bad person at all!" Guoguo commented to her mother in a hushed tone while in Si Xi’s arms, curiously observing the person at the foot of the stairs.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyebrows lifted slightly, "Don’t worry, your grandpa only has one daughter, me. This one definitely isn’t your grandpa’s illegitimate daughter, so you don’t have to worry about getting an extra auntie!"

"Yes, yes!" Guoguo nodded immediately in response.

"Also, about being polite, that’s definitely your imagination! Trust Mommy, I’m not wrong!" Gu Changsheng confidently affirmed, patting her son’s head reassuringly.

"Yes, yes!" Guoguo nodded vigorously like pounding garlic.

Whatever his mommy said was right! Even if it was wrong, it was still right!

He unconditionally trusted his mommy!

While they were whispering among themselves, the young lady at the foot of the steps gazed unwaveringly at the woman in front of her, her eyes flickering with admiration before quickly turning to envy!

"Are you Gu Changsheng?" the newcomer called out arrogantly, her delicate face slightly furrowed.

This woman, with her striking looks and cool demeanor, was Gu Changsheng?

Yes! She had to be Gu Changsheng!

Only such a woman could move that man’s heart! The newcomer thought firmly, her eyes growing increasingly envious as she looked at Gu Changsheng.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh, "Indeed, as you say, I am the Gu Changsheng you speak of, though I am unworthy of mention."

Damn it, if only you hadn’t spoken! Once you open your mouth, that whole demure and cultured air, it’s all blasted to hell!

This feeling! It’s so damn disillusioning!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but internally scream!

And what’s with the blatant envy in your eyes, undisguised by any pretense? What’s that all about?

"Gu Changsheng, I challenge you to a duel to the death!" Pointing her longsword at Gu Changsheng, the newcomer declared provocatively.
