Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 646 - 493: Shameless Only Towards You

"Absolutely not! We will not agree!"

As Di Lanyue’s words fell, an elderly voice came from the Nine Bend Corridor.

A group of people dressed in bright yellow robes hurried over!

Seeing the newcomers, Gu Changsheng’s large phoenix eyes couldn’t help but squint slightly; suddenly, a hand enveloped his in warmth.

Zhou Mu looked at her with a faint smile, giving her a reassuring glance!

Feeling the warmth from their fingertips, for some reason, Gu Changsheng’s initially restless heart suddenly settled down!

This man, by her side, was like a mountain, supporting a worry-free blue sky for her!

Watching him step forward, standing in front of her, Gu Changsheng’s lips curved slightly, quietly standing behind him.

"Zhou Mu! Is this the principal wife you’ve found?" An old man with completely white hair and beard approached Zhou Mu angrily and, without any preliminaries, pointed at the woman behind him and scolded loudly.

"Indeed!" Zhou Mu bowed slightly as a greeting and spoke with decisive clarity.

"You! You!" The old man, seeing his confident demeanor, immediately turned red with anger.

"Clan Elder! Oh, Clan Elder! How I’ve missed Young Master! Please, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!" Zhou Zongbao’s voice came from afar; in a blink, he bounced to the elder’s side, speaking with a playful smile.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng understood that the newcomer must be the respected clan elder from the imperial family’s clan!

"Hetian, shut up! This is the result of the spoiled upbringing you provided! A member of the imperial relatives and nobles is actually marrying an Abandoned Wife! You indeed have raised a fine Imperial Grandson for our Zhou Family!" The clan elder angrily glanced at Zhou Zongbao and slapped his hand away.

"Hehe... What’s wrong with how Young Master raised me, isn’t this countenance one of noble standing? Clan Elder, Little Wood brought you here to preside over his bride-price ceremony; surely you wouldn’t switch sides now!" Zhou Zongbao glanced at Zhou Mu, speaking with pride.

"I had intended, if Zhou Mu insisted on this, to reluctantly consent! But, I heard everything earlier!" The elder glared at the red silhouette behind Zhou Mu and spoke angrily, "Not yet married, and already acting indecently. How could our Zhou Family marry such a bride!"

"This..." Zhou Zongbao struggled upon hearing these words.

Indecency before marriage was indeed hard to accept in society, but...

"Since this is so, would the Clan Elder also plan to expel me from the clan?" Zhou Mu tilted his head, looking at the woman behind him and spoke lightly, "If the Zhou Family rejects such a bride, yet it is this bride alone that I have chosen. What-ever shall we do now?"

"You!" The elder, hearing this, was instantly choked up, his raised hand trembling.

"My fellow disciple! How could you?! For this vile woman, would you really abandon your family?" Di Lanyue on the ground, hearing this, spoke in a shocked and disheveled manner.

"Silence! If you dare slander her again, I might even renounce my own school!" His gaze sharp as a blade, Zhou Mu immediately spoke up.

"You! You!" Di Lanyue, seeing this, collapsed to the ground, her face a picture of utter defeat.

"Zhou Mu! Is this what you want? For a woman, you would go so far as to forsake your own family?" The clan elder incredulously spoke.

Gently squeezing the small hand in his, feeling its warmth, Zhou Mu smiled gently, "Clan Elder, I have served the Great Zhou loyally on horseback for a decade, for the single wish to have this wife!"

"If the Imperial Clan agrees, I have nothing more to say; but if not, now that the Four Kingdoms are relatively peaceful, you might as well expel me from the clan!"

Expel him from the clan?

Impossible!

He was the heir to the Zhou Imperial Clan, nurtured at great expense. If they expelled him, who would hold up Zhou’s mountains and rivers in a hundred years?

"Are you threatening me?" The elder said with a severe expression, speaking gravely.

"Not at all! The Imperial Decree of the Founding Ancestors has been issued; its revision is impossible. No matter how the worldly people might speak, she will ultimately become the only wife of my life, Zhou Mu! Tomorrow, the bride-price ceremony will proceed as planned. Whether Clan Elder attends or not is up to you!" With a sweeping gesture, he embraced the woman behind him, Zhou Mu spoke with a serious demeanor.

Upon hearing his words, everyone was startled.

The corners of Gu Changsheng’s mouth slowly traced a smile.

What the world might say had never bothered her; what she cared about, from beginning to end, was only the assertive man before her!

A warm current seemed to flow slowly in her heart, making her feel almost buoyant.

Is this... is this what love is?

To be so moved by his protective words that she could barely contain herself...

Walking back, leaving the crowd behind, Zhou Mu suddenly turned, looking down at Di Lanyue on the ground, his eyes flashed with disdain, and he spoke sternly, "Drugging me, speaking indefensibly against my beloved, our connection as disciples now ends here, with no further relation!"

"Someone! Remove her from the Liuzhou Region immediately; from now on, within my sight, I do not wish to see her ever again!"

"Yes!" Voices responded from behind.

"No! Don’t! Elder brother! Don’t send me away! Don’t ignore me! I am the junior sister you’ve cherished since childhood! Elder brother..."

Di Lanyue struggled in fear, but it was all in vain as she was carried away.

Zhou Mu, without turning his head, continued walking towards the inner courtyard with the woman in his arms.

"Treating her like this, is it really alright? What about your master..." leaning on Zhou Mu’s arm, Gu Changsheng spoke with some worry.

Once a teacher, forever a father-figure, the bond between teacher and student akin to father and son; how would Zhou Mu and Mr. Di, his teacher, get along after this?

"The master is a Great Confucian of this era, he understands right from wrong, he just dotes on his daughter too much. If he forsakes me because of this, then I have nothing more to say!" Zhou Mu tapped her little forehead gently as he spoke, "Enough, stop furrowing your brow. Tomorrow is the bride-price ceremony, and you’ve been skimping on learning the rites. If there’s a mishap, that will really be laughable! That’s what you should be worried about!"

"You’re still talking! Do you not realize how complicated those rites are? The three kneelings and nine prostrations are practically killing me! I can’t even imagine what the wedding ceremony will be like!" Gu Changsheng complained immediately upon hearing this.

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, curled up his lips with a smile and spoke teasingly, "It seems that His Highness was unaware that Changsheng was so eager to marry His Highness that he even thought about the grand wedding!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately widened his eyes, "Who thought that? You’re spreading rumors! Go away, go away, go away! According to the customary etiquette, shouldn’t we not meet? Why are you still lingering in my house? Why don’t you leave quickly?"

"We have already met frankly, it may be a little too late to uphold the etiquette now!"

"Are you trying to say it’s all or nothing now?"

"His Highness intends to stay by your side to prevent you from fleeing the battlefield tomorrow! Otherwise, His Highness might not even be able to find the Five Fingers Lady!"

"You!"

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, instantly blushed crimson as if he were about to bleed!

This shameless man! How could he utter such brazen and impudent words!

"You have no shame!" She clearly had no choice but to give him the antidote!

"Having shame won’t get you a bride! What harm is there in being shameless?" Zhou Mu raised his brows seriously.

Gu Changsheng was instantly choked up and raised his hand to claw at his handsome face, "Are you possessed? Let me peel off that thick skin of yours!"

Is this really the evildoer she knew?

The man who was cold and aloof, like the lofty sun above the clouds?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t believe it and felt embarrassed and angry!

"Don’t move recklessly! Under the clear light of day, do not provoke His Highness!" His deep eyes flickered with a fiery light as Zhou Mu warned in a low voice.

Her mischievous hand on his handsome face stiffened, and Gu Changsheng only then came to her senses, realizing how suggestive their actions were!

Surrounded by flowers blooming vibrantly, she, hanging onto Zhou Mu, groping around...

Uh...

In the garden, even the mansion’s youngsters, covering their eyes, were watering the plants...

Covering their eyes...

Such self-deception!

Gu Changsheng instantly jumped away from Zhou Mu, hanging her head low, too scared to look at him!

Damn, how embarrassing! She could not show her face in ancient times!

"Hehe..." The magnetic and hoarse laughter rang out, showing his good mood.

"You still dare to laugh! Laugh again! If you laugh again, I will eat you up!" Gu Changsheng, who could not stand others being happier than her, immediately glared and warned.

His majestic eyebrows raised, his eyes filled with laughter, "Most welcome! His Highness will welcome you with open arms!"

"You!" Gu Changsheng was immediately exasperated.

When a person is shameless, they are invincible! Gu Changsheng firmly believed that the evildoer before her was not far from being invincible!

Welcome with open arms? Damn, he might as well say to strip naked and lie down!

Shameless! Utterly shameless!

Gu Changsheng turned around and fled with her head down, damn, she had a feeling of marrying the wrong groom!

The man trailing behind her, laughing merrily, definitely was not the aloof and handsome man she had fallen for!

Counterfeit!

"Evildoer, can I return this?" Gu Changsheng turned her head back.

"Hmm?" Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow.

"You’ve gotten way too thick-skinned, even thicker than mine! I strongly suspect you’re not the same person as before! I want to return you!" Damn, tomorrow is the bride-pride ceremony, and after that, it would be impossible to return him!

"Taking advantage of His Highness and still thinking of returning the item? Hmm?" His tall figure pressed dangerously close.

"...Uh!" What does he mean by her taking advantage? That’s slander! She clearly...hadn’t taken full advantage yet!

"You wouldn’t have forgotten about last night’s incident of throwing yourself at His Highness and groping around, would you? According to your theory, shouldn’t His Highness throw himself back at you?" The shadow stopped in front of Gu Changsheng, a faint scent of ambergris enveloping, "Yes, right here, under the flowers and the moon, the setting isn’t bad!"

Gu Changsheng, looking terrified, clutched her clothes and stepped back quietly whispering, "You have no shame!"

"His Highness is only shameless towards you!"

A strong hand caught her waist, and Gu Changsheng found herself falling into a familiar embrace, warm lips pressed down instantly...

"Mmm..."

Dammit, this is a garden! There are people around!

Her face... she had completely lost it!

Their lips entwined, and it was only when Gu Changsheng felt like she was about to suffocate that she finally found relief.

Holding her tightly in his arms, Zhou Mu spoke in a husky voice, "After tomorrow, you will be His Highness’s fiancée..."
