Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 67 - 36 Prince Mu’s Mansion’s Master and Servant
Chapter 67: Chapter 36 Prince Mu’s Mansion’s Master and Servant
Gu Changsheng returned to the backyard in anger and, still not feeling relieved, ran to the martial training ground behind the big pagoda tree where he fiercely took out his frustration on Han Qiu’s newly set-up targets.
She was truly enraged. Damn it, she had banished the handsome man she loved for the sake of peace, yet peace had been moving further and further away from her.
Is being a doctor so ostentatious? Ancient people, it’s not your fault you’re ignorant, but surrounding an experienced old mother like me and treating her like a lab rat for observation, that’s not right!
I punch! I kick! I strike!
…
Under the same sky in Liuzhou City, at the County Prince’s Mansion.
Zhou Mu, clad in a golden-purple python robe and with the Ancient Jade hairpin still in his hair, sat solemnly and coldly on the Mermaid Chair, listening to the report from a kneeling subordinate.
“Master, the men sent by Prince Liang have all been eliminated, and the news has been completely sealed off.”
Zhou Mu, head bowed, did not respond, the purple-gold mask on his face reflecting a chilling light that unconsciously made the kneeling person tense up, with cold sweat dripping down profusely.
His master was never one to talk much, which was a real problem for his subordinates.
To speculate the master’s thoughts was a capital offense, yet if they didn’t speculate, what should they do next?
Jiang San sneaked a glance at Eunuch Yuan Bao hiding behind a pillar.
Help me…
Eunuch Yuan Bao tried his best to shrink his plump body further behind the pillar, desperately trying to reduce his presence. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to help, it was that he didn’t dare!

The fact that his master had gone to the Capital City alone, and had returned nearly dead with injuries, was his capital offense.
But he was innocent too! His master had slipped away to the Capital while he was asleep!
Yuan Bao quivered his sleeve and extended a finger, shaking it to clearly indicate his helplessness.
The kneeling Jiang San sank even lower, wishing he could bury his entire body into the ground.
The suffocating silence, with Yuan Bao sweating buckets behind the pillar and Jiang San wishing he could become invisible on the ground.
The person above finally showed a reaction, lifted his head to look at the kneeling person, and spoke in a cold voice, slowly, “Jiang San, I heard you asked Yuan Bao to find you a wife?”
Jiang San trembled almost imperceptibly and resentfully stole a glance at Eunuch Yuan Bao behind the pillar.
You with the big mouth!
The master’s concern for his private matters definitely meant no good!
But since the master had spoken, he could not fail to respond, so he braced himself, wiped off cold sweat, and stammered, “Master, indeed there is such a matter. Your servant, your servant is already twenty-three…”
“Oh, that’s pretty old…” Zhou Mu nodded and tapped the armrest of the Mermaid Chair intermittently.
Jiang San was close to tears. If he was old, then so be it, but master, couldn’t we avoid interrogating him so seriously about this matter? Was it his fault he couldn’t find a wife? He spent three hundred days a year in the barracks, and the remaining sixty or so days doing errands for his master. The barracks were like a Monk Temple; where was he supposed to find a wife?
“It’s indeed my fault for not noticing this earlier. How about this, Jiang San, I heard Uncle Prince Liang has taken a fancy to the Deputy General of the Ministry of War, Xiao Family’s Third Young Lady. You go and woo that lady. I hear she’s quite pretty, and her family background is indeed enough to match my beloved general,” Zhou Mu said indifferently, rarely speaking so much.
The Deputy General of the Ministry of War, Xiao Family’s Third Young Lady? Why did you catch Prince Liang’s eye?
Wuu… Jiang San really cried, his face pressing against the ground, “Master, your servant is unworthy of her…”
He didn’t want to match! Curse that Xiao Family’s Third Young Lady!
“Then find someone worthy of you and match her instead!” Zhou Mu snorted coldly and continued, “If she enters Prince Liang’s Mansion, I will grant you Diao Chan!”
Diao Chan? The Deputy General who was so fierce she hardly seemed like a woman?
He’d rather marry the Xiao Family’s Third Young Lady than be abused like a dog by Deputy General Diao Chan!
“Master, rest assured, within half a month, the Xiao Family’s Third Young Lady will leave home, and she definitely won’t marry into Prince Liang’s Mansion!” Jiang San analyzed the pros and cons in an instant. He didn’t want the Third Young Lady from the Xiao Family, and he dared not want Diao Chan even more. It was better to resign himself to ruining someone’s marriage!
“Very well!” Zhou Mu nodded and looked towards the side pillar. How could such a large chunk of flesh think to hide behind such a narrow pillar?
“Yuan Bao?”
“Master, Yuan Bao isn’t at home,” Eunuch Yuan Bao hugged his head and instinctively replied from behind the pillar.
“Oh? So has master seen a ghost?” Zhou Mu snorted coldly.
