Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 111: Chapter 61: The Passion for Cutting Sleeves

Bean curd, meat buns, nightgowns…

Gu Changsheng’s understanding of ancient women suddenly ascended to an unprecedented height.

Where is the restraint? The integrity? The lower limit?

Under the successive shocks, Gu Changsheng felt she could now endure an even greater blow.

Fan Lihua shyly smiled, then pretentiously fished out a longsword from beneath her skirt hem, “People say, ‘A precious sword is a gift to a hero,’ this humble woman has forged a sword to present as a gift.”

Gu Changsheng looked at her lifted skirt, then at the longsword in her hand, and was suddenly speechless.

The places where ancients hid their weapons were truly unique, and she dared not compliment them!

“‘A precious sword is a gift to a hero,’ nicely said, but I wonder which hero exactly? Do tell, let me also have a look.” Gu Changsheng looked around, there were only three males at her house, other than two undeveloped radish stalks, there was only Uncle Song, a lone cabbage. Gu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly sparkled, excitedly shouting at Uncle Song standing by the door, “Uncle Song, a delicate visitor has something for you.”

Everyone: “…”

Xiao Cui covered her face and bowed her head, is the lady truly unaware, or is she pretending?

Definitely pretending! Everyone unanimously reached a consensus.

“Who wants to give it to that old geezer? I want to give it to your husband.”

“Yes, having seen him yesterday, his voice and smile still linger before my eyes, truly a person of great moral integrity, a charming young gentleman…”

Gu Changsheng finally understood, it was all the evildoer’s fault! Indeed, he was capable of attracting admirers! In one instance, so many delicate visitors disregarded their status to come knocking, beauty brings disaster, but male beauty brings even greater disasters.

“As you can see, he is indeed my… husband, Luo Fu has a husband, he has a wife, isn’t this inappropriate?” Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched a few times before she could finish speaking, though she spoke without much confidence.

“Lady Changsheng, you jest, a dashing gentleman, a perfect match, you are merely an Abandoned Wife, he doesn’t disdain you, we naturally also have a chance.” Bean Curd Beauty lifted her sleeve to coyly cover her chest, laughing with a deep allure.

“Ahem…” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help coughing twice, her face turning red with suppressed laughter, she gracefully collected her skirt and bowed, “Miss, you are indeed learned, ‘a graceful lady, a gentleman’s good match,’ to use it in this way, I am enlightened.”

“Lady Changsheng, having three wives and four concubines is common, we don’t mind the status, call your husband over to meet us.”

“Indeed, Lady Changsheng, you may be pretty, but such a stunning lad, how can you confine him away? It’s simply a crime against his beauty.”

“Where is he? Let us meet him…”

…

Under the bombardment of these chirping and flirting women, Gu Changsheng silently cursed Zhou Mu again and again, were there really people willing to show up and voluntarily be concubines? Was Zhou Mu’s charm too strong, or was her, Gu Changsheng’s, deterrent power too weak?

Evildoer! Calamity! Vile person!

“Is he really that good, making you willing to lower yourselves to concubinage? Do you not know the ‘Three Bonds and Five Constants,’ a concubine is no different from a maid, why bother coming here?” Gu Changsheng asked in disbelief.

“Of course, he is like a person of great moral integrity, extraordinary and handsome, Peach Yaoyao radiantly blooming, if I can just receive one smile from him, I am willing to do anything.” Bean Curd Beauty bowed her head, revealing a hazy smile.

“Indeed, he is also a young and promising man valued by the Commandery Prince, with limitless prospects, undoubtedly a good match.”

How could she save these women hopelessly fallen into love?

Gu Changsheng rubbed her forehead with a headache, cursed Zhou Mu’s entire family, whether it was the Emperor himself or the Prince and Princess Consort, she spared no one; this was what being under a Commandery Prince entailed, attracting two or three butterflies. If they knew he was the Commandery Prince, would they not strip and throw themselves at him directly?

“Morning and evening routines, serving tea and pouring water, being a concubine isn’t so simple, and I’m not easy to get along with either.” Gu Changsheng shrugged, speaking as if it didn’t concern her, but these were wise words indeed; what well-bred women, seduced by beauty, were actually knocking on the door to become concubines, weren’t they afraid of losing face when they stepped outside?

“You are relying on his favor, but if I had it, he would certainly cherish me immensely too.”

“Indeed, a husband is a wife’s principle, as long as he is willing, what can you do to us?”

“What if I am unwilling?” Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, “What if I am unwilling? I won’t let my husband have three wives and four concubines, nor will I let him philander. What then can you do?”

The women were momentarily stunned, then quickly smiled broadly.
