A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 47 We must coax them.

Zhou Hanzhang nodded to them, and Jiang Mingyun immediately smiled, stepped forward and took her hand, "Thank you, Brother Hanzhang."

Just as they were about to go out, Bitao walked in from outside.

Upon seeing Bitao, Jiang Mingyun walked up behind Zhou Hanzhang.

Zhou Hanzhang looked at the expression on her face after seeing Bitao, which contained a hint of fear and deep hatred.

I wonder what kind of heinous things this seemingly innocent and harmless little maidservant has done.

It seems I should find an opportunity to ask.

“Young Master Zhou, I have already asked for leave on your behalf.” Bitao bowed to Zhou Hanzhang first.

Zhou Hanzhang nodded to her. "Thank you."

Bitao nodded and quickly walked to Jiang Mingyun's side. Her face was so anxious that it showed no sign of distress. She looked every bit the loyal maid. "Miss."

Seeing that Jiang Mingyun didn't seem to want Bitao to get close, Zhou Hanzhang said, "Bitao, I need to take your young lady to see the dean. You should go back first. With me here, I'll make sure your young lady is well."

Bitao looked reluctant and hesitated, unsure of what to do.

At this moment, Jiang Yichen walked over and said, "Bitao, you should go back first. With Young Master Zhou here, nothing will happen."

Jiang Yichen is indeed an extremely useful tool.

Since Jiang Yichen had said so, Bitao could only bow to them and then leave.

After Bitao left, Jiang Mingyun said to Zhou Hanzhang, "Brother Hanzhang, are we really going to see the dean?"

Zhou Hanzhang nodded. "Let's go out for a bit. I'll talk to the dean."

Jiang Mingyun seemed to recall something unpleasant. "Where are we going?"

"Since I've taken the day off today, I'd like to go home."

Upon hearing that Zhou Hanzhang was going home, Jiang Mingyun visibly became happy. "Then may I go with you to pay my respects to Aunt Zhou?"

Given your current state, how can you still say you're not doing well?

Even though I'm a woman, I couldn't bear to see you cry like that in front of me.

Zhou Hanzhang first took Jiang Mingyun to find Mo Xuan. When they arrived, they saw him playing chess with Xuan Lingzi in his courtyard.

Zhou Hanzhang saw that they were engrossed in the game, and when he got closer, he saw that the game was in full swing and the outcome was uncertain.

It was Mo Xuan's turn next. He held the flag and thought for a long time. Xuan Lingzi couldn't help but urge him, "Are you constipated? Can you hurry up? We're not going to wait until dinner time to make your move, are we?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just haven't decided where to land yet. I'll be done in a minute, what's the rush!"

Jiang Mingyun looked intently at the chessboard, then leaned close to Zhou Hanzhang's ear and said, "Brother Hanzhang, the Dean is about to lose."

Zhou Hanzhang raised an eyebrow. "How did you know?"

Although their two families didn't interact often, they were still quite familiar with each other, but she had never heard that Jiang Mingyun was good at chess.

Zhou Hanzhang also worked hard at chess, but she seemed to lack talent in this area. Despite her hard work, she could only be described as proficient.

She could only see that the game was evenly matched, and she really couldn't see any sign that the dean was going to lose.

Jiang Mingyun carefully pointed out the situation to Zhou Hanzhang, explaining the current circumstances and even the strategic thinking of Mo Xuan and Xuan Lingzi.

After Jiang Mingyun explained it this way, Zhou Hanzhang immediately understood.

Indeed, unless the dean stops playing chess altogether, he's bound to lose no matter where he plays this time.

Mo Xuan seemed to have heard Jiang Mingyun's voice as well, and looked up to glare at her.

“However, Brother Hanzhang, if the dean is demoted to that position, then he can turn the tide.”

Jiang Mingyun pointed to a spot on the chessboard.

Mo Xuan also saw it, and with a sudden thought, his face lit up with joy. He immediately placed his piece in the spot Jiang Mingyun had mentioned.

"Hahahaha, I'm going to win."

Xuan Lingzi's face instantly turned ashen. "A true gentleman observes the game without speaking, what's wrong with you, little girl?"

He then looked up at Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun.

"you……"

"you……"

"Haha, interesting, you guys are all hanging out together. How interesting."

Xuan Lingzi stroked his beard and laughed, "The Tao follows nature; Heaven has indeed made arrangements for everything."

Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun felt a tightness in their chests as they listened to Xuan Lingzi's ambiguous words, fearing that he might say something else he shouldn't.

Jiang Mingyun looked at Zhou Hanzhang, clearly feeling somewhat guilty.

I just don't know what this teacher meant when she said that she and Brother Hanzhang were actually hanging out together.

She couldn't understand it either.

She knew that in her past life, even after she had been betrayed and abandoned by everyone, her brother Hanzhang was still willing to collect her body and give her and her child a proper burial.

After her brother Hanzhang buried himself, she floated in mid-air and saw that he had personally avenged her.

Those who have harmed you will not have a good end.

Before her last breath completely dissipated, she heard him sigh.

"Women in this era have it so tough. I've avenged you. If there's a next life, open your eyes wide and never fall in love with a scumbag again."

At that time, she also wondered, what does this era mean?

What exactly is a "scumbag"? It doesn't sound like a good one.

But Brother Hanzhang is definitely not.

Zhou Hanzhang is the person she would protect with her life, even at the cost of her own life.

She didn't care if her brother Hanzhang did anything strange.

Jiang Mingyun thought to herself.

At the time, she thought she would just disappear from the world like that. Who would have thought that God would give her another chance, before anything happened and before it could be undone.

Just you wait, Jiang Mingyun has returned as a vengeful ghost.

This time, he could no longer involve his family.

We can't treat Brother Hanzhang the same way we did in our previous life.

She hadn't been good to him in her past life, and even in death she never imagined he would go to such lengths for her.

Jiang Mingyun looked at Xuan Lingzi, afraid that he might say something else.

Xuan Lingzi simply smiled at her and said, "Now that you're back, don't get caught up in hatred. Just live well."

He looked at Zhou Hanzhang again, "I never imagined she would sacrifice so much for you. Remember, you've come back to repay a debt of gratitude, not to seek revenge."

Mo Xuan listened to these words, his eyes flickered, but he ultimately said nothing more.

"Is there anything I can do for you here?"

Zhou Hanzhang said to Mo Xuan, "I was thinking of going home to take care of some things. Something strange has happened to Miss Jiang, and I was thinking of taking her with me."

“Alright, you can go ahead.” Mo Xuan was very generous.

After all, one is so skilled at fishing, and the other is so skilled at chess.

Let alone two, even just one of them isn't someone you can just meet anytime.

They occupied two academies at once.

We have to coax them.

It's just a trip, nothing to worry about, go if you want.

Moreover, both of these individuals were able to easily defeat him twice in areas where they were inferior to Xuan Lingzi. The light emanating from his face at that moment could illuminate the entire academy.

What's wrong with letting them out?

It's good that you know you're coming back.
