A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 187 Who's Your Sister?

Unable to figure it out, Zhou Hanzhang simply stopped thinking about it.

The most important thing now is to guard against the Crown Prince's next move.

Since he lost his chance to act in the stone mountain, he will likely arrange another one before the emperor returns to the capital. If he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to make a move next time.

But what will he do next?

In the short time it took to ponder this, Jiang Mingyun slowly finished all the food on the table.

"...Mingyun, are you full?"

Jiang Mingyun blushed as if she had just realized that she had eaten all the food on the table. "Ah~ I'm sorry, Brother Hanzhang. I was probably too hungry because I haven't been eating or sleeping well these days. The food here smelled so good that I ate more than I should have."

"It's okay, it just means if you're not full, we can order more."

Jiang Mingyun's eyes sparkled. "Really? Then shall we bring out all the dishes we just had?"

"……it is good."

Jiang Mingyun seems to have been through a lot, but when it comes to food, she is always easily satisfied, which is a good thing.

The most important thing is that I haven't lost interest in everything.

At first, Zhou Hanzhang thought she was still harboring resentment and depression because of her past life, and that she was only pretending to be cheerful and happy to deceive him. But now, judging from her appetite...

Not at all.

The way they're eating is so impressive; no one would believe it unless it's some great joyous occasion.

It didn't take long for Jiang Mingyun to finish eating.

There was some leftover food on the table that she couldn't finish.

She looked at the food still left on the table with a sense of regret. "Brother Hanzhang, there's still so much food left. Why don't we pack it up and take it home?"

Zhou Hanzhang wasn't surprised when she had a large appetite, but now, she was truly astonished.

Is this something a rich young lady like her should say?

"what happened?"

No, you're asking me what's wrong?

Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?

what happened to you?

Zhou Hanzhang took a deep breath, "Mingyun, you..."

She had just started to say it when she didn't know how to continue.

Jiang Mingyun noticed something was off. "Brother Hanzhang, do you think this behavior is a bit out of character for me? It's one thing to eat, but to pack it all up is another. You don't have the manners of a young lady at all?"

"I didn't mean that, I just found it strange, you weren't like that in my memory."

Jiang Mingyun wiped her mouth and, without any hesitation, laughed, "In your memory, I'm still that innocent young girl who hasn't suffered much, but I've been reborn, so I'm different now."

Do you know how I spent the last few years before I passed away in my previous life?

In order to keep our family under his control, the eldest prince kept Bitao by my side, ostensibly to take care of her, but in reality to keep her under house arrest.

Back then, I often went hungry and cold. I haven't experienced days like this, where I can eat whatever I want, in a long time. Now, every time I see food, I can't help but eat more, afraid that I might go hungry again someday.

Looking at the leftovers on the table, she called the waiter over to pack them up. "Nowadays, people can't stand food waste. If I've never been hungry, I'll never know what it feels like. What am I if I can make even the most unyielding person bend down?"

She carried the leftovers that the waiter had packed up in her hand without any hesitation, as if it were just an ordinary little thing.

Seeing that Zhou Hanzhang was still in a daze, she waved the bag in front of him. "Brother Hanzhang, didn't you say you'd take me to see the town at night? I see the sun has already set, shall we go now?"

Zhou Hanzhang felt a little sad.

While she was still thinking about how to comfort Jiang Mingyun, she saw that Jiang Mingyun had adjusted her mindset much faster than she had, and was standing in front of her with a smile, waiting for her to take her out to play.

So be it.

If anything happens in this life, I'll help her as much as I can, considering she traveled thousands of miles and risked her life to find Shishan.

"walk."

Zhou Hanzhang took the leftovers from Jiang Mingyun and carried them in his hand. "I'll take you on a boat first. Sitting on the boat, you can see the most prosperous scene in Cuiyan Town, which is very different from our capital."

"Okay."

Jiang Mingyun followed Zhou Hanzhang out of the food building.

Once outside, I saw that it was completely dark, and every household was lit up like sparks.

The riverbank was already piled high with vendors hawking their wares.

The lively scene brought tears to Jiang Mingyun's eyes. "I really never thought I would see such a sight again."

She suddenly looked at Zhou Hanzhang seriously and said, "Brother Hanzhang, thank you."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't really understand her feelings, but if he put himself in her shoes, he would probably feel a sense of relief as well.

"Don't say that. Come on, I'll take you on a boat."

The two of them remained seated on the boat. Zhou Hanzhang, having already ridden on it once, didn't feel much of a sensation.

Jiang Mingyun found it all very novel, looking around at this and that. There were also vendors on the shore trying to attract customers. Seeing the two of them, they knew they must be young masters and ladies from wealthy families, and their calls became even more enthusiastic.

Jiang Mingyun stopped at every stall to look around, trying out various items and buying things to eat, so they proceeded very slowly.

Since Zhou Hanzhang wasn't in a hurry, he was happy to go shopping with her.

After this stroll, the boat arrived at the entrance of Xianggui Yayuan at 9 PM.

Fortunately, the area is safe and the people are used to going out at night. It's quite pleasant to have a good meal and then stroll around.

Xiangxiang, unaware of what was going on, happened to be standing at the entrance of Xianggui Yayuan.

With her sharp eyes, she spotted Zhou Hanzhang immediately. She quickly walked to the riverbank and reached out to pull him up. "Young master, you've finally arrived."

Jiang Mingyun frowned as she watched Xiangxiang act so familiar, and walked directly in front of Zhou Hanzhang, placing herself between her and Xiangxiang.

She placed her hand on Xiangxiang's hand, "Please help me up first, Miss. Brother Hanzhang can come up by himself."

Xiangxiang looked at Jiang Mingyun, who was acting like a jealous little devil, and couldn't help but chuckle. She pulled her ashore and said, "This little sister is really interesting."

Jiang Mingyun's face immediately hardened. "Who's your sister!"

Xiangxiang was even happier, "Okay, okay, if you say it's not, then it's not."

After she helped Jiang Mingyun up, she turned around to reach out to Zhou Hanzhang, but Jiang Mingyun was faster and had already reached out his hand. "Brother Hanzhang, come on, let me help you."

Looking at the two hands outstretched in front of him, Zhou Hanzhang felt troubled, but could only smile and say, "I can do it myself."

When watching movies or reading novels, I always think that such people are truly blessed. But when it happens to me, it's a different story.
