Chapter 82: Chapter 44: Yuan Bao Takes Advantage of the Chaos to Stir Up Trouble
“Lady Changsheng, as the old saying goes, ‘A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.’ It’s not worth stirring up trouble over this matter,” Elder Xu softly advised Gu Changsheng, “It’s just a small sum of money that can resolve the issue, don’t hurt the harmony. The Medical Hall has just opened, and getting on the wrong side of the City Lord’s Mansion is ultimately not good.”
Gu Changsheng looked gratefully at Elder Xu, then turned to face Mo Wu, who was clearly burning with rage.
This local tyrant also had an exceptionally strong backing.
“Don’t blame me for not giving you face, but in Liuzhou City, I’ve never encountered someone who dares to stop me like this. You really are bold!” Mo Wu swaggered over to Gu Changsheng, pushing through the crowd with arrogance.
Gu Changsheng coldly watched the finger wagging in front of him, waved his hand to stop Han Qiu’s poised readiness, and spoke indifferently, “So, you’re Master Mo Wu? I have to tell you something, I am someone who really dislikes others pointing fingers at me. Please, move your finger away.”
Gu Changsheng’s calm and composed demeanor completely infuriated Mo Wu. He was used to being domineering in Liuzhou City, and this was the first time he had encountered someone who so openly defied him. He suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that he doubled over and held his stomach, and while laughing, he said, “You truly are someone who returned from the Capital City, and I heard you were once the daughter-in-law of a high official. You really do have some insight, I like it! I love it when someone dares to talk back to me. Come on, don’t say I bully newcomers. How do you want to die? Let’s choose together.”
...
Gu Changsheng calmly observed and made no reaction.
Although everyone else was anxious, they were all powerless. Only Xiao Cui and Han Qiu stood particularly calm behind Gu Changsheng.
The patients who had come for treatment saw this and had mostly scattered, while a few with greater courage hid far outside the Medical Hall, secretly peeping inside.
“Do you want me to smash your Medical Hall, or should I cripple you three women? Or maybe expel your family from Liuzhou City?” Mo Wu spread his hands in a gesture that signaled a choice.
His followers, the servant boys, all snickered at his words.
“Master Mo Wu, there’s no need for all this, no need indeed. Lady Changsheng is quite skilled in medical practice, and who doesn’t have a headache or fever occasionally? You’re a great man who doesn’t remember the offenses of the lesser, accommodate her a bit for easy actions in the future, right?” Hu Yihai was covered in sweat, but he still stepped forward and spoke out. If they really expelled these people, wouldn’t all his efforts be wasted? He still wanted to leave a legacy!
“To hell with your good deeds! So, you’re cursing me to fall ill and beg you for help!” Mo Wu wasn’t listening at all and kicked at Hu Yihai.

Gu Changsheng casually took a step, coincidentally stepping on the toe of Mo Wu’s raised foot.
With their eyes locked, Mo Wu was startled and instinctively tried to yank his foot back, but to no avail.
What strength this lady has! Mo Wu thought to himself. His face, however, showed no sign of panic. He turned to signal his servant boys, “What are you waiting for? Don’t you see? Attack! Don’t let them know that Prince Ma has three eyes!”
“Mo Wu, have you always been this superficially strong but empty inside, liking to bully others with your power?” Gu Changsheng coolly stated, the mockery on her face fairly evident.
“What do you mean? Are you saying I’m all bark and no bite?” Mo Wu turned back, this time easily withdrawing his foot.
Gu Changsheng leisurely withdrew her foot, straightened her bright red dress, and disdainfully looked at Mo Wu, issuing a challenge, “Mo Wu, if you’re a man, let’s have a fight. If you win, you can deal with it as you wish, but if you lose, from now on, you’ll stop causing trouble at Gu Family Medical Hall. How does that sound?”
She was giving the Lord of Liuzhou City face, as she didn’t want to offend the ruler of the city so bluntly upon arrival; otherwise, she would’ve already taken action and beaten this scoundrel to crying for his father and mother!
No sooner had Gu Changsheng finished speaking than Han Qiu stepped forward, a longsword in hand, and respectfully said, “For such a trivial matter, there is no need for Lady Changsheng to act, this maid is willing to fight him.”
“Woah! Making it out as if it’s a big deal, don’t tell me you think I’m like Butcher Wang, just a brute?” Mo Wu reached out to lift Han Qiu’s chin, his voice sleazy, “This young lady may have an ordinary face, but her figure is quite nice, I like it!”
Gu Changsheng watched as Han Qiu turned and dodged, feeling a knot of frustration within. Look at that, beautiful women are indeed disasters; even if her face doesn’t attract much attention, her figure still manages to entice a lascivious wolf with a keen nose!
If Mo Wu was here only to seek money and cause trouble, that would have been fine, but to harass her maid, that was unacceptable!
