Chapter 486: Chapter 344: Refuse to Go Out

Gu Changsheng saw this and gave a faint smile, waving his hand, "Let’s stop here for today. Those of you who need to attend the clinic may go back!"

Lady Changsheng’s illness hadn’t healed, and trying to make this bunch of shameless doctors leave was truly difficult!

Since he couldn’t send them away, Gu Changsheng, with no other choice, just let them be.

As soon as Gu Changsheng finished speaking, he headed toward his son’s Bright Moon Tower, his little meat bun was still being punished!

He had to see how things were going!

The doctors, seeing Lady Changsheng leave, looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Unexpectedly, none of them rushed to the pile of enviously sophisticated surgical instruments.

Hu Tiandong, seeing Lady Changsheng walking away, placed the wrapped surgical instruments on the table with one movement and whispered anxiously, "What are you standing around for? Hurry to the front courtyard to see what’s related to Lady Changsheng’s major incident!"

"Right, right, right! Let’s hurry!" Only then did Hu Yihai come to his senses, walking anxiously toward the front courtyard.

Not just anyone could enter the Gu Residence! At least, the visitors from their medical hall were all stopped at the front courtyard!

They had been worried since receiving the message. While Lady Changsheng was teaching, they didn’t dare interrupt, but now that Lady Changsheng had left, they immediately rushed to the front courtyard in a panic!

"What’s going on? Why are there so many people here?" Hu Yihai was shocked to see the Longevity Medical Hall’s lobby crowded with twenty people and asked hastily.

Standing nearby, Song Mu hearing these words, innocently shrugged his shoulders.

Who should he ask about this?

They had just sent off a rowdy group led by the heiress wife not long ago and now all these people from Liuzhou Medical Hall had arrived; he was still utterly confused!

Hu Yihai, seeing Song Mu’s bewildered face, quickly walked over to the attendant from his own medical hall.

"What exactly happened? I heard it was related to Lady Changsheng?" Hu Yihai asked anxiously.

Lady Changsheng was now the backbone of their Liuzhou Medical Guild, the most critical person in everyone’s heart!

Anything related to Lady Changsheng, even trivial matters, could not be neglected!

"Shopkeeper, it’s like this..." The attendant quickly and truthfully recounted the day’s events at the medical hall.

The other doctors were also inquiring their own people for information.

In no time, after the doctors heard the reports, they all looked at each other with puzzled faces...

"What’s happening? Prince Mu’s Mansion has an Imperial Physician; why would they need us?" Hu Yihai looked at his characteristic moustache in confusion.

"How would we know what’s happening at Prince Mu’s Mansion? However, the fact that the City Lord’s Mansion is calling us for a consultation seems quite suspicious!" Elder Xu stroked his beard, frowning, "I heard that the family members who created a commotion this morning at the Gu Residence and those who were taught a lesson by the Young Master have all entered the City Lord’s Mansion..."

"Elder Xu, what do you mean by that?" Hu Tiandong quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Could it be that the City Lord’s Mansion is in collusion with the heiress wife?" Someone speculated apprehensively.

"Regardless of whether the City Lord is in cahoots with the heiress wife or why Prince Mu’s Mansion is asking for a doctor, the fact remains that the City Lord’s Mansion is calling for a doctor for the heiress wife’s group!" Elder Xu shook his head, asserting confidently.

Upon hearing this, everyone again looked at each other with perplexed faces!

Lady Changsheng had disciplined someone, and now they were expected to treat them—how could this be right?

This was absolutely unacceptable!

"I don’t care! Receiving favors weakens the will, and eating another’s bread softens the speech, but I’ve both received and eaten! Since they were harmed while troubling Lady Changsheng, even if it were the Heavenly King, I wouldn’t treat them!"

"If it involves treating that heiress wife, I’d rather die than offer my services!" Someone immediately agreed.

"I won’t go either!"

"Not going! I’d rather die than go!"

"..."

All were indignant in their declarations.

"I won’t go! That heiress wife is no good! To think she tried to leverage the Young Master to coerce Lady Changsheng and even had the audacity to plot taking Lady Changsheng to the Capital City Li Mansion to be confined—it’s unthinkable! Lady Changsheng is our Liuzhou Medical Guild’s Lady Changsheng; no one can take her away!" Even though they had personally witnessed the events of the morning, they had also felt the sword-drawn and bow-stretched atmosphere outside the Gu Residence, and now thinking about it, they were still incredibly infuriated!

"Exactly! We’ve received so much grace from Lady Changsheng, we must do something for her no matter what!"

"Right! If we do not unite now, when will we? We all refuse to offer our services. Can they really bind us and take us there against our will?"

As soon as the topic of the heiress wife came up, Elder Xu, who had been silent until now, shook his head gravely upon hearing this, "They really might dare to bind us and take us there!"

"One is Prince Mu’s Mansion, and the other is the City Lord’s Mansion. Either could easily compel us to go!"

Upon hearing Elder Xu’s words, everyone immediately fell silent!

Their righteous indignation and collective enmity made them forget for a moment who it was that requested their services!

Needless to say about Prince Mu’s Mansion, the entire Liuzhou region is under the administration of the Commandery Prince. They are subjects of His Highness Prince Mu, summoned by the prince, none dare disobey!

The City Lord’s Mansion doesn’t even need mentioning—it’s the government office of Liuzhou City! If they decide to abduct someone, you won’t have anywhere to report the crime for justice!

"What now? Just because the ox won’t drink you’re going to force its head down? Go if you want, but I’d rather die than go!"

"That’s right! Treating someone who’s at odds with Lady Changsheng? Not me—I’m not consulting!"

"We would rather die than consult, treating that heir’s wife, dream on!"

"..."

Everyone hesitated for a moment, then suddenly returned to their prior outrage.

Seeing this, Elder Xu exchanged a glance with Hu Yihai, and helplessly asked, "What does Chief Hu think?"

When called upon, Hu Yihai pointed to himself, "Me? I’m not consulting either! I may not be a good person, but I know how to repay a favor! Lady Changsheng and I, Hu Yihai, owe her a debt of rebirth. To ask me to treat her rival, you’d have to kill me first!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu smiled knowingly and nodded.

Hu Tiandong, seeing everyone’s noble sacrifice attitude, couldn’t help twitching his lips. He loudly interrupted them, a look of disdain on his face, "Why is everyone so dramatic? It’s just Prince Mu’s Mansion and the City Lord’s Mansion. If they request a doctor, aren’t we safe and sound here inside the Gu Residence? Haven’t we heard of anyone from those two mansions coming here knocking on our door seeking people?"

Startled by his words, Hu Tiandong, full of arrogance, continued spinning in circles, "If you ask me, even Prince Mu’s Mansion and the City Lord’s Mansion have avoided Lady Changsheng’s Gu Residence. As long as we hide in the Gu Residence and don’t go out, we naturally don’t need to consult! That way, firstly, we don’t have to treat that damned heir’s wife, and secondly, we don’t have to be so dramatic about dying or living!"

The crowd, hearing this, exchanged looks.

"Doctor Xiao Hu makes sense, let’s just hide in the Gu Residence and not go out, right?"

"Yeah! Just like Doctor Xiao Hu said, Prince Mu’s Mansion and the City Lord’s Mansion indeed haven’t come looking for the Gu Residence!"

"Haha! Then let’s all hide in the Gu Residence and absolutely not go out, let that princely heir’s wife fend for herself!"

"..."

The crowd, coming around to the idea, suddenly looked relieved, each chiming in happily.

"But, Lady Changsheng won’t allow us all to stay in the Gu Residence and not see patients!" Hu Tiandong spread his hands and threw a damping remark with a blink of an eye.

The crowd: "..."

"Never mind, if we go out, we’ll definitely be dragged by the City Lord’s Mansion to treat that heir’s wife. The Gu Residence is so big, surely we can find some place to hide! I’m definitely not going out!"

The crowd nodded in agreement.

That settled it!

The next moment, all the medical practitioners of Liuzhou City were hiding in the front courtyard of the Gu Residence, leaving only a few who were actually supposed to stay there.

Unaware of anything, Gu Changsheng thought the Liuzhou Medical Hall had skylights opened...

Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng stood in the Bright Moon Tower, watching the person lying on the couch eating candied fruits, commanding everyone around, she was extremely vexed!

Turning her head, she saw the grand His Highness Prince Bao, Zhou Zongbao, with a cloth in hand, scrubbing the floor back and forth...

This...

This was infuriating her!

Ever since Little Meat Bun had started skipping home, she had let no one clean his living quarters in the Bright Moon Tower, waiting for him to come back and clean up himself!

And now, while Little Meat Bun lay there like a lord, enjoying his candied fruits on the couch, it was Zhou Zongbao who ended up doing the cleaning!

"Xiao, Gu, Ze!" Gu Changsheng, face darkened, gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Scary!" Little Meat Bun, enjoying his candied fruits, jumped up in alarm at her voice, scattering the fruits from his hands.

The floor-bound Zhou Zongbao, hearing this, also looked up in horror.

"Mother... mom!" Little Meat Bun, clearly frightened, called out timidly.

Busted! Caught red-handed!

"Mother... Mother Tigress! Why are you here!" Zhou Zongbao’s expression was just as shocked.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately became furious, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at the two, "Why am I here? Am I not supposed to come? Just let you two cheat unchecked?"

Ni-ma, if she hadn’t caught Little Meat Bun cheating with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it!

Her Little Meat Bun had actually learned to keep up appearances while skirting the rules!

"Mom, let me explain, he insisted on helping me, I really was willing to accept the punishment!" Little Meat Bun, Xiao Gu Ze, frantically explained, brushing off the candied fruit crumbs from himself, hastily betraying his comrade.

Zhou Zongbao, hearing this, gave Little Meat Bun a big eye roll, huffily sat on the floor, and disdainfully threw the cloth aside, "Xiao Gu Ze! You can’t do this to a buddy!"

Little Meat Bun, hearing this, stood on the couch with a shameful look, bowing his little head.

Gu Changsheng glared at the two, kicked the floor-bound Zhou Zongbao, "Aren’t you busy causing trouble in your own tower? Distinguished Prince Bao, running here to wipe tables and mop floors for my son, ni-ma, have you nothing better to do?"
