Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

When Gu Changsheng saw his son, carried over by Xiao Cui, it just took one glance to melt her heart.

Those big, watery, round eyes, the pitch-black pupils tinged with a trace of timidity, the round little face, delicate little brows slightly furrowed, hiding behind Xiao Cui's figure which appeared slightly slim, he gave Gu Changsheng a timid glance, then hid back behind Xiao Cui.

Just from that one look, he was the epitome of a naturally silly and adorable little boy.

How could such an irresistibly cute little boy be mistaken for an evildoer bringing calamity?

The mindset of ancient people is indeed beyond the comprehension of someone from the post-ancient era.

Gu Changsheng gave a kindly smile, and beckoned to Little Meat Bun with a gentle voice, "Come here, let your dear mother have a look at you."

When Little Meat Bun heard her, instead of approaching, he retreated even further behind Xiao Cui.

Gu Changsheng touched her face, wondering what was going on. Could it be that she bore a striking resemblance to the wolf grandmother? Not even her own son wanted to come close, what was she to do?

"Don't be afraid, come here and let your dear mother have a look at you." Gu Changsheng was always patient with children and considering that this adorable Little Meat Bun was her son, her very own flesh and blood!

Little Meat Bun still showed no response, only a piece of his clothing was visible. Gu Changsheng sighed, it seemed her previous incarnation hadn't been a good mother at all. It takes more than one cold day for the river to freeze three feet deep; she feared she would have to bear the consequences of that past.

This injustice, she loved children, couldn't they see that? To whom could she take her grievance?

Seeing this, Xiao Cui quickly turned around, squatted down, and coaxed, "Young Master, your lady just wants to see you. Don't be afraid, she won't abandon you."

"You're lying!" Little Meat Bun took a step back, his accusation stuttering, and suddenly his entire body was exposed to Gu Changsheng's sight.

Gu Changsheng rested her chin in her hand, frowning. Something was not right, definitely not right!

"Xiao Cui, it's the beginning of summer now. Even if it gets a bit chilly reversing into spring, you don't need to wrap him up so tightly, do you?" Gu Changsheng pointed at Little Meat Bun's neck, and indeed, his neck was wrapped up tightly, with several layers inside and out. There must be a demon afoot when things are out of the ordinary; the problem was surely here!

"My lady, do you really not remember anything?" Xiao Cui hugged Little Meat Bun in front of her, her voice uncertain.

"If you ask ten thousand times, the answer will still be that I don't remember." Gu Changsheng replied briskly, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on her son's fully armored neck. What exactly was going on?

"My lady won't cast the Young Master aside? Won't throw him out onto the streets?" Xiao Cui suddenly became like a mother hen protecting her chick, and after saying these words, she continued, "It's not the Young Master's fault, even if the Young Master was in perfect health, Li Mansion would find various excuses to make things difficult for you, my lady. Please, do not mistreat the Young Master anymore, he is really pitiful..."

"Stop!" Gu Changsheng raised her hand to silence Xiao Cui's endless talk. If she let her continue, she would become a villain of utter depravity, and Little Meat Bun would be even less likely to want anything to do with her. With a serious expression, Gu Changsheng continued, "Xiao Cui, I understand what you're saying. I have no idea what I thought previously, nor can I make sense of it now. Even if I'm useless, I wouldn't be unable to look after my own son. If I have done anything wrong in the past, I apologize. Now, hurry up and remove the cumbersome thing from my son's neck. He could get heat rash from that!"

Xiao Cui, seeing her sincerity, realized she might not be faking it. As a servant girl, she was not well-acquainted with the lady despite having come with her as part of her dowry, and she had heard that the lady didn't like the Young Master at all. But now, it seemed not to be so, or perhaps the lady had forgotten her past and thus changed her view of the Young Master?

Xiao Cui, of course, didn't know the real reason. She hesitated for a moment but then went ahead and started to slowly untie the scarf from the Young Master's neck.

As the scarf gradually loosened, Little Meat Bun's hands clenched into tight little fists, and his eyes vigilantly watched Gu Changsheng, as if ready to run away at the first hint of her disdain.

Once the scarf was completely removed and Xiao Cui had stepped aside, Gu Changsheng saw the extra flesh on her son's neck and was immediately stunned.

Mechanically moving closer, she reached out to touch the lump of flesh. Little Meat Bun flinched as if startled, and Gu Changsheng's normally strong heart suddenly ached.

It was a fleshy fibroma, about the size of an egg, with a smaller connection point to the jaw, dangling with the movements of her son.
