Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 650 - 497: The Whole City Turns Out to Intercept the Recruitment

On the second day, before dawn had broken, lights had already been lit in succession throughout Liuzhou City.

Today was the bride-price ceremony of His Highness Prince Mu and Lady Changsheng, an event second only to the grand wedding. If they were to miss it, it would be a lifetime of regret!

Gu Changsheng, still bleary-eyed with sleep, was dragged up by Xiao Cui and Si Xi in a messy scramble!

"Lady, do you think members of the Imperial Clan will still preside over the bride-price ceremony?" Xiao Cui asked worriedly as she tidied up her mistress’s clothes.

"What if I said I hope they don’t preside over the ceremony, would you believe me?" Gu Changsheng yawned as she spoke, a trace of sleepiness still in her eyes.

"How can that be! If the Imperial Clan doesn’t preside over the ceremony, it means they do not accept you, Lady. In the future..." In the future, she would be scorned by her husband’s family and gossiped about! Xiao Cui dare not finish her thought.

Si Xi, on the other hand, slowly shook his head, knowing a bit of his mistress’s thoughts. However, he feared that their mistress was headed for disappointment!

"Xiao Cui, stop worrying over nothing. Such good luck won’t happen, rest assured!" Gu Changsheng gave Xiao Cui a reassuring glance, her phoenix eyes slightly downcast.

Privately, she truly hoped that the members of the Imperial Clan would not attend her bride-price ceremony!

In that case, it would also mean that they utterly rejected her as a wife, and in turn, it would mean that they had given up on Zhou Mu...

But would they really?

Haha, they regarded Zhou Mu as the hope of Great Zhou, how could they give up so easily?

If they were indeed resolved to give up, they wouldn’t have traversed mountains and rivers to come to Liuzhou!

Trapped within the Imperial Family, Zhou Mu had no escape and no way out!

From now on, she would face all the future trials and tribulations alongside him!

Just like the depths of the Marquis’s Household are like the sea, what awaited her, she did not know herself!

But with that person by her side, she felt at ease!

"Lady, today, you must redo your hair in the style of an unmarried girl and only after leaving the bridal chamber on your wedding day, may you wear it up!" Si Xi said with a smile on his face as he watched the hairdo take shape under his hands.

"Yes!" Gu Changsheng nodded solemnly.

In her past life, and this one, she had never married, yet the original owner of this body was an Abandoned Wife. But what of it?

As long as he stays, she shall not leave!

And what about him at this moment, has he stepped out with the big goose in his arms?

Thinking of Zhou Mu holding the big goose, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but find it a little funny!

The Gu Residence was filled with joyful red decorations, guests had already arrived to congratulate and observe the ceremony, and Mr. Ban Shan was laughing so hard in the front courtyard that he couldn’t close his mouth. Noteworthy persons from Liuzhou City had all arrived, along with a few friends of Mr. Ban Shan, such as the Former Grand Tutor, Huo Shuixian’s grandfather, and Di Lanyue’s father, Di Wentian...

Everyone was delighted, except for Yue Xilou, who walked out of the residence with a dejected expression on his face.

"Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, where are you going?" A little meat bun followed him, toddling along with his short legs.

"Why are you not joining the festivities? Your mother has her bride-price ceremony today," said Yue Xilou dispiritedly, his vibrant and colorful clothes unable to mask his despondency.

"Mother asked me last night to stay with you! Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, are you very sad? Will you leave me too?" The little meat bun tugged at the hem of his ’Lion Tiger’s’ clothes, speaking pitifully.

"How could I? You’re my closed-door disciple; how could I ever abandon you?" Ignoring the former words, Yue Xilou smiled reassuringly at the little meat bun and patted his head, "Go enjoy the festivities, I’ll take a walk outside."

He couldn’t muster any joy, and felt out of place amidst the jubilation that filled the residence.

Perhaps it was best to step outside for a while.

Laughing uglier than crying! "Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, you must be really sad, aren’t you? My mother doesn’t want you, she wants Uncle Wood!" The little meat bun shadowed his ’Lion Tiger,’ continuing, "Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, don’t be sad. I’m just like you; my mother doesn’t want me either. She said she’s too busy today and doesn’t have time to look after me..."

Mother said that constantly talking to Lion Tiger would distract him and make him less sad.

"Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, let’s go to the Brothel! Mother is too much! She said Aunt Sai Jin and the others aren’t good enough for me. I want to find a beautiful wife too!"

"Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, why don’t we go to the restaurant and have some delicious food?"

"Peacock, Lion, and Tiger..."

Chattering incessantly in his ears, Yue Xilou, however, was lost in his own world.
