A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 205 This is my problem

However, Zhou Hanzhang did not dwell on this matter too much. For her now, the most important thing was whether Zhou Tong could get a result from her blood sample.

Since she had become involved with Jiang Mingyun, she decided to go there in person and ask if she was willing to cooperate with Zhou Tong in the experiment.

With that thought in mind, she walked to the Jiang residence.

Everyone in the Jiang family seemed to know her, and when they saw her arrive, they all came up to greet her warmly.

"Young Master Zhou, what brings you here? Please come in, I'll go and inform Madam right away."

"Thank you for your trouble. I'm here to see Mingyun. I wonder if she's in the manor?"

"Miss is at home. Please come in and have a seat for a while. I will go and inform Madam and Miss right away."

The servants welcomed Zhou Hanzhang and Xiao Ba into the living room of the mansion to wait. Before long, Madam Jiang hurriedly came over.

"Hanzhang, what brings you here? Have you eaten yet?"

Madam Jiang looked at her head maid Chunzhi and said, "Chunzhi, hurry, bring some tea and snacks for Hanzhang. Also, send someone to inform Mingyun to come over. Hurry up, don't keep Hanzhang waiting."

Since Zhou Hanzhang was pushed into the lake by Jiang Mingyun when he was a child, he hadn't visited for many years. His sudden visit now was a pleasant surprise for Madam Jiang.

She couldn't wait to bring out all the good things to entertain everyone.

Although Zhou Huaide was demoted to an ordinary person by the emperor, Zhou Hanzhang was loved by everyone in the royal family. Others might not know, but she knew it very well.

Chunzhi first instructed someone to serve Zhou Hanzhang some snacks, and then she went to find Jiang Mingyun herself.

As Zhou Hanzhang was waiting for Jiang Mingyun, he saw Jiang Yichen coming in from outside.

He was taken aback when he saw Zhou Hanzhang at his home. "Junior Brother Zhou?"

Upon seeing one of these four extraordinary individuals, Zhou Hanzhang immediately stood up and nodded to him, "Young Master Jiang."

"You've come to see Mingyun?"

Jiang Yichen wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that Zhou Hanzhang was looking for him. His sister had been acting like she was under a spell lately, always hanging around Zhou Hanzhang, which was common knowledge in the Jiang family.

Jiang Yichen glanced at Zhou Hanzhang. Today, she was wearing a blue and white long gown. The fabric was light and soft, and the collar and cuffs were decorated with delicate white cloud and water pattern embroidery. A blue silk ribbon of the same color but slightly darker was tied around her waist, with a few warm and jade-like ornaments inlaid on it, making her look both elegant and leisurely.

Her hair was tied up in a high bun and secured with a jade hairpin inlaid with a sapphire. The gemstone shimmered with a cool light in the sunlight, complementing the blue and white tones of her outfit and further highlighting her handsome features and extraordinary temperament.

With looks like that, it's no wonder my sister is so infatuated with him.

Even he would be captivated.

He had previously thought his sister was possessed by a demon, and that she disliked Zhou Hanzhang, who had lost her former charm, and had been targeting her in every way.

But ever since Zhou Hanzhang entered Tianan Academy, he felt that his sister seemed to be even more possessed. Although she no longer targeted him, she, a young lady, was now almost becoming Zhou Hanzhang's accessory.

He often goes out now, and he always asks them if they have a wedding coming up.

Good things are coming soon? That's bullshit. Anyone with eyes can see that Jiang Mingyun is just clinging to Zhou Hanzhang, and there's not a shred of affection in Zhou Hanzhang's eyes when he looks at her.

I've never seen Zhou Hanzhang come to visit before, so what's going on today?

Even though he didn't care about these things, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"There are indeed some things I need to discuss with Mingyun."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't say anything. Jiang Yichen originally just wanted to go home to get some things and then go out, but now he wasn't in a hurry to go out.

He sat down directly on the stool next to Zhou Hanzhang, which made Madam Jiang's forehead twitch.

"Hey Yichen, didn't you say you had something to do today?"

To be honest, Madam Jiang was quite intimidated by this stepson; he was frighteningly composed at such a young age.

“My affairs are not urgent. Mingyun has been away for so long and has only just returned home. I need to keep a close eye on her.”

Jiang Yichen looked at Madam Jiang and said, "Mother, I also want to drink sweet soup."

What else could Madam Jiang say? She quickly had someone bring him another bowl.

"Drink slowly, there's more if you're not full."

Madam Jiang looked at Zhou Hanzhang, then at Jiang Yichen, and carefully spoke, "Yichen, Mingyun told me before she went out, and I also discussed it with your father. We all know about this. Her safe return was entirely thanks to Hanzhang."

"Oh, really?"

Jiang Yichen looked at Zhou Hanzhang, a question in his eyes.

"Of course, your sister said that if it weren't for Hanzhang, she might not have been able to come back this time."

Jiang Yichen naturally knew what kind of person his sister was, so he didn't doubt the truth of what Madam Jiang said.

However, Jiang Yichen continued, "Father and Mother, you spoil her too much. If I had known beforehand, I certainly wouldn't have let her go out."

Madam Jiang looked worried. "Don't you know your sister's personality? Once she's made up her mind, how can your father and I stop her?"

Jiang Yichen slowly finished the sweet soup in his bowl. "So you should have someone inform me about this."

"This... it's not because you're busy. We've assigned more people to protect her, so there shouldn't be any problems..."

As Madam Jiang spoke, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

She was no ordinary, sheltered woman; the moment she and her husband agreed to let Jiang Mingyun go to Jiangnan alone, they already regretted it.

They lived in constant fear until Jiang Mingyun was brought back by Zhou Hanzhang, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yichen didn't speak, but smiled at Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang was suddenly startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Then she remembered that this was her son and felt that she shouldn't be guilty or afraid. She mustered her courage a little and said, "Mingyun is back now, so nothing has happened."

“Mother is right. But if something like this happens again, please have someone inform me. No matter how busy I am, I will still take family matters seriously.”

Even a fool could tell from Zhou Hanzhang's expression that he was unhappy that his sister had traveled all the way to Jiangnan to find him.

“Young Master Jiang, this is my fault. I have already spoken to Mingyun. If something like this happens again, you can’t be as willful as you were this time…”

“Brother, this is my own decision to go out and find Brother Hanzhang. It has nothing to do with Brother Hanzhang. Don’t blame him.”

As soon as Jiang Mingyun came out, she saw her brother saying something to Zhou Hanzhang. Thinking that her brother was making things difficult for her Hanzhang brother, she was immediately angry and shouted at Jiang Yichen.

"Oh."

Madam Jiang kept giving Jiang Mingyun meaningful glances, but Jiang Mingyun just couldn't understand them. Her eyes were red as she glared angrily at Jiang Yichen.
