Chapter 487: Chapter 345 The Evildoer is Very Scheming

"Cough, cough!" Zhou Zongbao coughed violently as he was yelled at by Gu Changsheng.

Testicle pain? He wasn’t bothered before, but now it did indeed bother him!

This woman! She’s simply unbearable to look at!

Suddenly, Zhou Zongbao felt just a bit less guilty about Gu Changsheng, he got up from the ground and shouted back, "Gu Changsheng! Are you even a woman? Is there anything you dare not say?"

"I’m really puzzled here, how could Little Wood ever fall for you? Someone like you could be thrown onto the street and probably no one would want you!"

No sooner had Zhou Zongbao’s words hit the floor than a strange silence suddenly enveloped the surroundings.

Little meatball Gu Ze stared at Zhou Zongbao with his mouth wide enough to fit an egg in it.

Gu Changsheng, infuriated, began to tremble as she pointed at Zhou Zongbao, "Fine! You’re something else, Zhou Zongbao! Good for you!"

Zhou Zongbao, seeing Gu Changsheng on the verge of exploding, realized he had gone too far and quickly covered his mouth!

Godfather! Gu Changsheng was already fuming, and he had inadvertently talked back! Wasn’t this just adding fuel to the fire?

"The little meatball deserves punishment for playing truant, and I haven’t even settled the score with you for cheating on his behalf, yet you dare to curse me!" Gu Changsheng said as she stepped in towards Zhou Zongbao and suddenly grabbed the back of his collar.

"Gu... Gu Changsheng! Let’s talk this out nicely; disagreements should be settled with words, not violence!" With his collar being yanked, Zhou Zongbao instantly turned meek, clasped his hands together, and began to pray.

"Hmph! Talking to you is just a waste of my saliva!" Gu Changsheng snorted coldly. She dragged Zhou Zongbao out towards Bright Moon Tower, her face full of indignation, "The biggest mistake I made was allowing you to stay in the Gu Residence! You do nothing but irritate me every day; is this not masochism? Get out of here now! Go wherever you like, but just make sure I don’t see you on my turf again!"

"Gu Changsheng, you promised me that I could stay at your place to wait for Shuixian to come back!" Hearing that he was about to be driven away, Zhou Zongbao suddenly panicked and struggled as he tried to explain.

"I regret it now!" Gu Changsheng kept walking without stopping.

"What has happened?"

A light question suddenly came from the door.

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Zongbao both froze in place.

Seeing the newcomer, Zhou Zongbao acted as if he had seen a savior and struggled desperately for help, "Little Wood! Little Wood, save me! Gu Changsheng is trying to kick me out!"

Zhou Mu was still clad in purple, standing tall by the door, his face resplendent like that of a being from the Divine Residence, fixing his gaze on the two inside.

Seeing him, Gu Changsheng felt her anger subside. She blinked her large eyes again and again, unable to help herself from looking outside.

For God’s sake, it wasn’t even dark yet; why had the evildoer come?

Was it a divine weapon descended from the heavens to save Zhou Zongbao in his time of crisis?

"Uncle Wood!"

Seeing Zhou Mu, the little meatball inside lit up with joy, jumped down from the soft couch, cried out, and threw himself at Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu, wearing a faint smile, stretched out his arms to catch the flying little meatball, glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Zhou Zongbao, speaking in an energetic voice, "What exactly have you two done? How did you manage to make her so angry?"

While speaking, Zhou Mu glanced towards Gu Changsheng, who was still visibly irritated, a glint of amusement briefly crossing his eyes.

When Gu Changsheng saw Zhou Mu’s gaze, she reluctantly withdrew her hand and released Zhou Zongbao.

Regaining his freedom, Zhou Zongbao instantly leaned towards Zhou Mu.

Godfather, Gu Changsheng was becoming more and more fierce by the day! Absolutely unapproachable!

"Didn’t you hear the evildoer questioning you? Why aren’t you speaking? Huh?" Gu Changsheng narrowed her eyes as she stared at them both, speaking sternly, "Evildoer, take this Young Master of yours back with you. If I lose it and beat him up, don’t blame me for not giving you face!"

Zhou Zongbao’s little schemes, Gu Changsheng knew them all too well!

He had no martial arts skills, and had been frightened by Huo Shuixian’s kidnapping scare. Hearing that his son had mistreated Yhan Qinrui and her companions, he must have eagerly come over to curry favor, right?

But even so, she couldn’t give him the medicine she had prepared!

Zhou Zongbao was treacherous; who knew what he would do if he got his hands on the medicine!

Drive him away, drive him away! Out of sight, out of mind!

When Zhou Mu heard her say this, he shook his head indulgently, "Let him stay at your residence. If you want to hit him or scold him, you’re welcome to do so without holding back!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zongbao glared furiously at him, accusing vehemently, "Ingrate! Ungrateful wretch! Are you saying you’re fine with her hitting and scolding me?"

Zhou Mu looked at him indifferently, not at all bothered by his accusation.

Seeing this, Zhou Zongbao became even more infuriated, stomping his feet in anger, yet utterly powerless to do anything!

He couldn’t possibly leave the Gu Residence! His little Shuixian was still hidden up in the mountains by Gu Changsheng; if he were to leave, he would never see his little Shuixian again!

Now, all he could do was swallow his pride and act subservient!

Hearing Zhou Mu’s words, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled her eyes.

His words were sweeter than a song!

It was only a rhetorical statement on her part, hoping Zhou Mu would take Zhou Zongbao away. Yet, the man simply wasn’t taking the bait!

Who was Zhou Zongbao? He was the evildoer’s own great-uncle, His Highness Prince Bao himself!

Did she really have time to waste hitting and scolding him every day? Where would that leave Zhou Mu’s face?

As such, Zhou Mu was definitely betting on her not doing anything to Zhou Zongbao!

Having understood the situation, Gu Changsheng felt internally wounded!

She felt that Zhou Mu, that evildoer, was her nemesis – sent by the heavens specifically to torment her!

"Xiao Gu Ze! Get down here to your mother right now!" Unable to deal with Zhou Zongbao, Gu Changsheng shifted his gaze to the little meatball clinging to Zhou Mu and cooing for affection, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Mom..." The little meatball, upon hearing this, hesitantly called out before resigningly sliding down from his Uncle Wood, hanging his little head low in anticipation of punishment.

Gu Changsheng glanced at both the little meatball and Zhou Zongbao and began, "Zhou Zongbao, you love cleaning, don’t you? Alright then, you’ll clean together with my son!"

"The two of you are to clean the inside and outside of Bright Moon Tower spotlessly for me! Otherwise, you can forget about having dinner later!"

"Ah! You can’t be serious!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Gu Ze immediately wailed, "There wasn’t a time limit at the beginning, and no one said we couldn’t have meals..."

Zhou Zongbao heard this and nodded his head in agreement, his face turning pale.

"And no one said you could get help at the beginning either!" Gu Changsheng gave his son a stern look, expressing his displeasure.

The little meatball, upon hearing this, instantly let his beaming face droop, knowing very well that there was no room for negotiation!

Boss Zhou and the little meatball exchanged glances, both bearing an expression as if they were bearing a deep grudge.

Gu Changsheng glanced at the two of them and turned to walk outside. As he passed by Zhou Mu, he spoke in a low voice, "What are you waiting for, eager to eat dust?"

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, smiled sweetly and walked outside with her.

"Oh my God! Four stories! When are we ever going to finish cleaning this?"

As soon as they left, Zhou Zongbao sprawled on the ground and began to wail in despair.

"It’s over, it’s over! There’s no way we’re getting food today!"

Xiao Gu Ze glanced at the vast Bright Moon Tower and, with a bit of foresight, declared.

Then, exchanging a look, they both threw themselves onto the nearby couch with a shared purpose.

There, half a plate of unfinshed candied fruits still lay.

"Mine! Aunt Lei prepared these for me!"

"Meet and share half, Young Master is entitled to half too!"

"No way! There’s not enough to fill me up!"

"If you don’t give it to me, you think Young Master can’t snatch it away?"

"..."

"..."

The sound of the two fighting over food came from inside, causing Gu Changsheng to sigh.

She really didn’t know what to do with her son! Not to mention, Zhou Zongbao was caught up in it too!

One was more of a headache than the other!

Standing on the Observation Deck of Bright Moon Tower, Gu Changsheng turned her head to the side to look at Zhou Mu with puzzlement and asked, "Why have you come at this hour?"

Zhou Mu responded with a smile and replied in a light tone, "In my royal mansion, there’s someone who’s received a sound beating waiting to be treated, so I came!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately realized who Zhou Mu was referring to!

Huo Shuixian!

"Do you expect me to help treat her? Quit daydreaming!" Gu Changsheng immediately waved her hand and said.

Damn it, she was the one who had beaten her up; if she went and treated Huo Shuixian, that bitchy girl, wouldn’t her efforts have been in vain?

No way! Over her dead body!

Seeing her pouting cutely with indignation, Zhou Mu reached out with his long arm, and Gu Changsheng found herself in his embrace, "She got beaten due to her own fault; how could I let my love be troubled with treating her?"

Gu Changsheng nodded at once in agreement, "Exactly! Doesn’t your mansion have an imperial physician? Just grab one to treat her; that would be the end of it!"

Zhou Mu tapped her forehead with his hand, looking innocently, "Unfortunately, all the imperial physicians in my mansion are sick and cannot treat her!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt the corners of her mouth twitch.

Sick? All sick?

She’d believe that when pigs fly!

This must be the crafty work of the evildoer!

To let that little bitch Huo Shuixian suffer a bit more was actually satisfying for Gu Changsheng!

These sly maneuvers by the evildoer clearly showed he was avenging her!

As Gu Changsheng thought of this, a sweetness filled her heart, and she wriggled a bit in Zhou Mu’s arms, and spoke listlessly, "That’s too bad about the imperial physicians, you’ll just have to settle for finding a city doctor to help her!"

Huo Shuixian was still wearing the big hat of the Mandated Noble Lady, and Zhou Mu’s great show wasn’t over yet; he certainly wouldn’t completely neglect her!

"Alas!" Zhou Mu sighed, "I am so anxious; I can only send someone to find a doctor in the city to treat her. But what’s even more unfortunate is that now, not a single doctor is available in any of the medical halls in the city..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was at a loss for words...

Anxious, the evildoer?

The evildoer was clearly reveling in another’s misfortune and adding fuel to the fire!

So deviously cunning!

It was incredible how he could declare such things so confidently, with such an impressively thick skin! Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl her lip in disdain.

"But where have all the doctors in the city gone?"
