Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1300 - 961: The Evildoer Enslaved by His Father-in-Law! (Part 2)
"Pfft!"
Gu Changsheng burst out laughing upon hearing this, showing a face full of disbelief!
"Not many? Just a cart? Is a cartful not considered a lot?" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but shout, nearly cursing the heavens and the earth, "Aren’t those old ministers being lazy? The affairs of the Southern Country are already well-regulated; how can there be so many major issues needing my decision? They’re playing tricks on us, aren’t they?"
To be exact, they’re messing with our evildoer, right?
Didn’t you see our evildoer’s face, like that of a Divine Residence, already filled with helplessness?
A cartful! Not just a sackful!
Who’s not going to feel helpless about that?
"There are no small matters in state affairs; as a monarch, one must fulfill duties and not slack off!" Gu Taitian reacted, his weathered yet distinguished face turned solemn, speaking in a serious tone.
Gu Changsheng suddenly fell silent at his words because she knew she wasn’t a qualified monarch. If she dared to speak, her father would definitely have a bunch of reprimands waiting for her!
Poor our evildoer, being worked like a horse, and yet, she can’t even help!
Alas! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Yes, your son-in-law will go and handle it right away, and I promise it won’t delay the state’s important affairs." Zhou Mu clasped his hands and replied seriously.
"Good, now that’s more like it, go!" Gu Taitian didn’t say much more and waved for Zhou Mu to leave.
Only then did Zhou Mu straighten up, turn, and walk towards the door, but before turning, he cast a particularly resentful glance at Gu Changsheng standing beside...
The look, oh how resentful it was!
Just like a bullied little wife, feeling wronged but being forced to endure...
Gu Changsheng was struck by the unexpected lightning of her evildoer’s gaze, making her feel crispy outside and soft inside. When she came to, her evildoer had already disappeared beyond the guest room, leaving only the sound of a closing door and the tightly shut door...
Only Gu Changsheng and her father were left in the room.
Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment, but couldn’t help pleading for her evildoer, moving close to her father with a pleased expression, "Father, isn’t this too much? A cartful of memorials, and they need to be dealt with by tomorrow. Aren’t you making it difficult for him?"
"Oh? Heart aching?" Gu Taitian glanced at his daughter coolly, snorted coldly, "Knowing full well he stayed out late with you, I would definitely be angry. He still defied gender propriety, determined to go his own way, so he must have been prepared for the punishment! Why would you feel heartache for him?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng awkwardly rubbed her nose, muttering softly, "Gender propriety, gender propriety, we’ve been running away from home all along; even if it wasn’t there, it’s gone now! Those unaware might think you’re an out-and-out ancient person, father, why are you influenced like this..."
Don’t be like my foster father, always using ancient rules and etiquette to bind me, really, I can’t be some demure lady!
That’s truly not my style! It’s not my style!
"You! So unruly!" Gu Taitian listening sighed helplessly, a loving and spoiled smile appearing on his weathered face, gently tapping his daughter’s brow, he sighed and said, "Where’s the restraint that a daughter should have?"
"What is restraint?" Gu Changsheng replied immediately, innocently blinking her eyes, her bright face carrying a hint of mischief, she shamelessly said, "Such a lofty thing, I truly don’t have it, I’m someone very down-to-earth, and life is about being carefree, right? Being confined by rules leaves no room for laughter!"
"Oh?" Gu Taitian squinted upon hearing this, letting out a cold snort.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng hurriedly raised her hand, confidently saying, "This is what Grandpa said!"
The grandpa she’s referring to is her grandfather from her past life, her father’s father!
"You! Spoiled by your father!" Gu Taitian smiled at these words. He naturally knew what kind of person his father is, and with them not around, her growing up taught by her grandfather and developing such unruly personality was to be expected!
"However, a daughter should still have the demeanor of a daughter; notwithstanding your and Zhou Mu’s mutual affection, you shouldn’t be so improper!" Gu Taitian gathered the Geomancy Map from the table, handed it to his daughter, and earnestly said, "You must know, things that are easily obtained aren’t cherished; the unattainable, difficult to achieve are prized! When I pursued your mother back then, it took quite an effort..."
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes sparkled. Is her father going to use himself as an example to instruct her?
Great!
She loves this kind of gossip!
Noticing his daughter’s sparkling gaze, Gu Taitian immediately fake-coughed twice, speaking seriously, "Therefore, a daughter should maintain restraint, not disregard everything! Remember that!"
"That’s it?" Gu Changsheng widened her eyes.
Where’s the promised gossip? How could it just pass by?
"What else?" Gu Taitian gave his daughter a sidelong look.
"Alright!" Despite her curiosity about her parents’ love story, Gu Changsheng couldn’t insist since her father wouldn’t say more. She unwillingly withdrew her curiosity, saying, "If you won’t tell me, I’ll ask mother when she wakes up! Humph!"
"As long as Ruoshui wakes up, ask whatever you wish, there are things that even as a father, I can’t teach you; sure enough you’ll need to consult her!" Thinking of his beloved wife, Gu Taitian’s eyes became dreamy...
