The afternoon sun was bright and the streets were crowded. The New Year was approaching and the market was unusually busy. Gu Changsheng's carriage swayed into the city. He opened the curtains and comfortably admired the prosperity of the state capital.
The sunlight fell on his handsome face, making him look even more elegant. The girls on the roadside were attracted by his appearance and stopped to look at him.
Doctor Tong sighed, "The Third Young Master really has a demonic face!"
"Don't you dislike me for being sick?"
Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked, with a gentle smile on his face, which made him even more charming. A bold woman on the street pointed at him and asked, "Whose son are you?"
"The Gu family." Gu Changsheng replied with a smile.
Doctor Tong's old face was almost red with shame: "Third Young Master, this is not right."
"Why?" Gu Changsheng seemed to find pleasure in the girls' admiring gazes, smiling like a rotten peach blossom, "If I hadn't come to the prefecture, I wouldn't have known that the girls in the prefecture are so bold. Han Yuqing is inferior to them."
This was the first time he took the initiative to mention Han Yuqing. Doctor Tong asked, "Will you marry her?"
"No." Gu Changsheng shook his head, "I won't marry anyone except Xia Qianqian."
"But Madam only likes Miss Han. Didn't Han Tangping return to Pingning Town this time for your marriage?" Doctor Tong said.
"That's what they think." Gu Changsheng didn't care at all. "I'm weak. If I cough a few more times, my mother will give in."
Doctor Tong: “…”
Typical of someone who is arrogant because of his illness!
When the carriage passed by the Qin Mansion, Gu Changsheng took a special look at it: it was heavily guarded and full of official authority.
"Why hasn't Qingtong come to pick us up yet?" Doctor Tong looked forward and suddenly smelled a familiar scent of medicine. He ordered the coachman to stop.
Gu Changsheng asked: "What?"
Doctor Tong looked suspiciously at the high walls of the Qin Mansion and shook his head: "Nothing."
At this moment, Qing Tong waved happily in front of him: "Master, I'm here!"
As the driver drove past, Gu Changsheng couldn't wait to ask, "Where's Xia Qianqian?"
"At the inn." Qing Tong climbed onto the carriage and said in a low voice, "Master, you've come at the right time. Miss Xia is in trouble again."
Gu Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and his expression instantly turned cold: "Who dares to bully her?"
"The Qin Mansion." Qing Tong sighed, "This rich and powerful family is so complicated. They don't even acknowledge that Qin is Qin Xue, and they don't allow Li Sui to help treat the disease."
Gu Changsheng and Doctor Tong looked at each other in surprise.
"This is not the worst. I'm now worried that someone will do something shady." Qing Tong made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Gu Changsheng's heart trembled, and he shouted sternly: "He dares!"
The sudden temper startled Qing Tong and Doctor Tong.
"I will kill anyone who dares to touch her!"
Qing Tong shrank his neck, and Doctor Tong managed to hold back a sentence: "Third Young Master is really full of energy. However, Third Young Master, you should take care of your body first!"
Gu Changsheng glanced over with a cold look: "Can you look down on a sick person?"
"Doctor Tong, you don't know how powerful our third young master is! His treasures can kill people without them being seen from thousands of miles away." Qing Tong said.
Doctor Tong thought he was just bragging to save face for his master. It was not until later when he saw Gu Changsheng kill someone with a pistol that he realized Qing Tong was not bragging.
As the carriage gradually moved away from the Qin residence, Doctor Tong suddenly said, "I know. Li Sui is in the Qin residence. The smell of medicine I smelled just now was him sending out a distress signal!"
