A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 258 You're Beautiful

Zhou Hanzhang waved his hand, "No need. To be honest, it's partly my fault. If I hadn't brought them out, we wouldn't have suffered such a disaster today."

"How can you be blamed for this? They planned it all along, and we couldn't have prevented it. Even though Mingyun knew they were watching her, she still didn't stay home obediently. You'll be in for a beating when we get back."

As Jiang Yichen continued talking, he brought up Jiang Mingyun again.

Zhou Tong tugged at him again, "Don't talk about Ming Yun, everyone feels bad about it."

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen stopped and turned to Zhou Tong with a gentle expression, "Why don't you come and stay at my residence for a while?"

"It's not like I don't have a home, what would I be doing at your place? Besides, this matter wasn't directed at me in the first place. I was just unlucky and someone accidentally found out. Don't worry."

I'm a fairly self-aware person, and I won't affect anyone else's interests for the time being. No one would go to such lengths for me. But Mingyun, you'd better add more people around her. The person behind the scenes has another plan after one failed attempt. They're probably already willing to go to any lengths to scheme against your family."

Zhou Tong wasn't unaware that if she really moved into the Jiang residence, given their relationship, it would be difficult for her to move out again.

Jiang Yichen sighed, "Then shall I take you home first?"

Jiang Mingyun watched the two of them showing affection from the sidelines, not wanting to spoil the scene, but also afraid that her brother would neglect her. "Brother, what about me?"

Jiang Yichen looked at her and saw that she was angry about everything. "You come with me to take your sister-in-law home first, and then come home with me later."

Jiang Mingyun groaned inwardly. If Zhou Tong weren't around, he didn't know how he would be dealt with. He immediately suggested:

“Brother, I think my sister-in-law has been greatly frightened today. Why don’t you stay with her and comfort her first? Otherwise, I’m afraid she will have nightmares if she’s alone tonight. We can always ask Mother for help.”

Jiang Yichen thought about it and realized that his future wife was miserable in every way. As an orphan, she had suffered such hardships and had no one by her side.

"then you……"

"Hey, isn't Brother Hanzhang still here? I'll have Brother Hanzhang take me back. This time I definitely won't run around randomly. I'll go wherever Brother Hanzhang goes."

Jiang Yichen looked at Zhou Hanzhang with some difficulty.

Zhou Hanzhang didn't mind at all, and thought it would be a good opportunity for Zhou Tong to develop a relationship with him. "Then, Young Master Jiang, you should take Zhou Tong home first. It's getting late, so there's no need for you to run back and forth."

"Brother Hanzhang, let's go quickly."

Xiao Ba watched the two leave and hurriedly followed, saying, "Boss, I'm leaving too."

Jiang Yichen frowned as he watched Xiao Ba abandon Zhou Tong and leave. "Your subordinate..."

"He's not my subordinate. If you really want to talk about it, he's my good partner. I've been having him work alongside Zhou Hanzhang lately."

"If he goes with Zhou Hanzhang, who will protect you?"

"Why would I need anyone to protect me?"

Jiang Yichen looked at Zhou Tong like this, completely at a loss for words, while Zhou Tong remained oblivious. "So, you'll be staying at my place tonight?"

"...Hmm, Hanzhang is right, it's really not good to leave you alone at home."

Jiang Yichen felt his face burning, but thankfully the darkness perfectly concealed his embarrassment.

If Zhou Tong didn't know what Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun meant, then she would have lived in vain all these years. But since she had already confirmed her relationship with Jiang Yichen, she didn't think it mattered.

"And what about these people?"

She pointed to Ye Gui and the others who were tied to one side.

"Don't worry about these people, my men will take them back and interrogate them again tomorrow."

"Won't it cause any delay?"

"No delay."

"Hanzhang told me that we owe it all to you today, otherwise Mingyun and I would have been in big trouble." Zhou Tong praised Jiang Yichen at the right time.

"I'm telling you, even if you knew those people were up to something, you shouldn't have followed them so rashly. Luckily nothing bad happened this time. What if you had gotten hurt?"

Jiang Yichen still feels a bit scared when he thinks about it.

"But isn't that your sister? I can't just stand by and watch her get taken away, can I?"

When it comes to saying nice things, Zhou Tong is never ambiguous.

Jiang Yichen suddenly hugged her tightly, ignoring the stares of those around them. "You're so good to me."

"Hehe, I know I'm great, otherwise you wouldn't be with me, right?"

"……Yes."

"I may not be good-looking, but I have a beautiful heart."

"Who said you're not good-looking? You're beautiful."

Jiang Yichen recalled Zhou Tong's smile, which seemed to dispel any gloom, along with her fair, smooth, and radiant skin and her curvaceous figure.

I can't think about it, I can't think about it, I can't control myself if I start thinking about it.

He released Zhou Tong. "Shall we go home now?"

This was the first time Zhou Tong had heard the word "home" from a man's mouth. It was a word that seemed too distant to her. She paused for a moment, then broke into a big smile and said, "Okay."

Zhou Hanzhang and Xiao Ba escorted Jiang Mingyun home. Thinking about what had just happened, and seeing Jiang Mingyun's carefree demeanor, they feared she might still be somewhat alarmed.

"Mingyun, are you alright?"

Jiang Mingyun looked back at Zhou Hanzhang, "Brother Hanzhang, don't worry, I'm really fine. I've experienced plenty of things like this in my past life. Even if something really happened today, it wouldn't be a big deal for me."

Now that the Jiang family and my brother are all well, the eldest prince is confined to his residence, and Ye Gui has been arrested, I think my future will only get better, and those things from my past life will not happen to me again.

It was rare to see Jiang Mingyun so insightful, and Zhou Hanzhang looked at her with considerable relief. "Are you hungry? How about I take you to get something to eat first?"

"Okay."

Jiang Mingyun couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so she immediately agreed.

After feeding Jiang Mingyun and sending her back to the Jiang residence, Zhou Hanzhang went home and first went to find Liu Niang.

Liu Niang was still awake and waiting for her in the courtyard. "Have you taken care of everything?"

"Everything has been taken care of. I still want to thank Master today. If it weren't for Master's people finding them in time, they would probably be in grave danger."

"Don't say that. Now that I've become your master and I'm living in your house, we're practically family. So, there's no need for thanks anymore."

Zhou Hanzhang readily agreed, "Then Master, you should rest early. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Wait a moment."

Liu Niang took out a token. "This should have been given to you back in Jiangnan, but I was too busy and forgot. You can keep it."

Zhou Hanzhang took the token and saw that it was engraved with the words "Dark Night".

"Now that you have this token, you are considered the new master of Dark Night, and you have the right to mobilize everyone under you."
