A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 257 The Chapter Arrives Quickly

Han Zhang opened the room where Jiang Mingyun and Zhou Tong were being held. Good heavens, even though they were tied up, the two were chatting and gossiping happily.

She was so angry she laughed. "Looks like I've come at the wrong time."

When Zhou Tong and Jiang Mingyun saw that the person who came was Zhou Hanzhang, they became excited and wanted to jump up, but their hands and feet were tied.

Zhou Hanzhang looked helplessly at the two people who were about to fall, and he truly admired them.

Jiang Mingyun exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Hanzhang, I knew you would come to save us! Sister Zhou and I weren't worried at all!"

"...I think you should still be a little worried, since your brother already knows."

"What?! Brother Hanzhang, why did you tell my brother about such a small thing? Oh no, he definitely won't let me go out when I get back."

Zhou Tong was much more perceptive than her. She gently nudged Jiang Mingyun with her foot and gestured for her to look at Zhou Hanzhang's expression.

Jiang Mingyun looked over and then came to her senses. She immediately changed her expression and said, "Brother Hanzhang, you have no idea how ruthless they are. At first, they even planned to find a few stinky men to stay with us and ruin our reputation. Luckily you came, otherwise they would have succeeded."

"Come on, you two were chatting so enthusiastically just now, I almost prepared some melon seeds for you."

Jiang Mingyun looked slightly embarrassed. "I just have confidence in you. Sister Zhou was able to find me by following those people, so you can't be far behind."

"You overestimate me. It was only with my master and Xiao Cuiyan's help that we were able to find you. I even asked your brother for help. Otherwise, with so many people guarding the outside, even if Xiao Ba and I had forced our way in, you two would have ruined your reputations."

Zhou Hanzhang stepped forward and untied the ropes binding the two men.

The two seemed to get along well, and without prior arrangement, they both walked over to Zhou Hanzhang's side.

Zhou Tong first complimented, "We're really lucky to have you here this time."

“That’s right, that’s right. If it weren’t for Brother Hanzhang, we would definitely be in danger,” Jiang Mingyun immediately chimed in.

“I don’t see any sign that you’re in danger.”

Thinking of Zhou Tong's personality, she sighed, "Well, you guys have a pretty good attitude."

If she encounters someone crying and screaming, she has to put in a lot of effort to coax them.

"Of course, don't you know who we are?" Zhou Tong said smugly.

"Alright, let's hurry up and leave before he comes back. Jiang Yichen is probably worried sick."

Zhou Hanzhang was about to leave with the two of them when he happened to see Xiao Ba escorting Ye Gui and another person out.

Jiang Mingyun was so angry at Ye Gui that she wanted to tear him apart. She rushed up and slapped him twice. "I've treated you well, and this is how you scheme against me and my sister-in-law?!"

"No, Miss Jiang, please let me explain. This is a complete misunderstanding."

Unable to get anything good from Zhou Hanzhang, Ye Gui thought of finding a breakthrough with Jiang Mingyun. If Jiang Mingyun believed him, there might still be room for maneuver.

"Do you really think I'm stupid?" Jiang Mingyun said angrily.

Zhou Tong said quietly, "Exactly, if someone wasn't an idiot, would they let someone like that get close?"

"...Sister Zhou, we're both in the same boat, you can't be so sarcastic."

"Is this mockery? Then your mental capacity is a bit low. Besides, you and I can't really be considered fellow sufferers."

Zhou Tong looked at Zhou Hanzhang and asked, "What do you plan to do with this scum?"

"I plan to hand him over to Jiang Yichen. I think Jiang Yichen's methods are much more ruthless than mine."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ye Gui realized something and asked, "Did you all already know?"

"What did you say?"

Jiang Mingyun suddenly realized, "Oh, right. We pretended not to know when you came over since you weren't doing anything. After all, there are always other people around. If we knew, we would feel more at ease and naturally be more vigilant."

However, we've really stumbled today. If it weren't for Brother Hanzhang's abilities, our reputations would be ruined. Although Sister Zhou and I don't really care about our reputations, it would still be unsettling to see them destroyed by someone like you.

Ye Gui's breath weakened. "If I said I knew nothing about what happened today, would you believe me?"

Zhou Hanzhang pulled Jiang Mingyun away, saying, "Does it really matter whether we believe it or not? In our view, even if we were unaware beforehand, we were still involved in this matter, and that is unforgivable."

"If I'm willing to tell you everything I know, will you release me and my sister?"

Jiang Mingyun snorted coldly, "You can't even manage yourself properly, yet you're trying to manage your sister? Logically speaking, the things your sister has done should have been enough to kill her hundreds of times over."

Ye Gui's heart sank even further when he didn't hear Jiang Mingyun ask about his sister. It seemed they really did know everything all along.

"It's no use asking us about these things. Go talk to Jiang Yichen."

As soon as Zhou Hanzhang finished speaking, Jiang Yichen rushed over. He saw that Zhou Tong and Jiang Mingyun were both standing safely to the side, and he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening.

He walked straight up to Zhou Tong and looked her up and down several times. "Are you alright?"

This was the first time Zhou Tong had received such care, and she was a little unaccustomed to it. "Fortunately, Hanzhang arrived quickly, and I'm fine."

"Were you scared?"

"No, no, this is nothing to me, it's not a big problem. But Mingyun, you should comfort her."

Didn't you see that all those people were looking this way?

Don't treat everyone like they're dead.

Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Jiang Yichen glared at Jiang Mingyun and said, "Why are you wandering around like this? Luckily nothing happened this time. If something had really happened, you would have regretted it."

Jiang Mingyun looked shocked. "Brother, am I still your real sister? I've suffered so much emotional trauma, and you don't even bother to comfort me, do you? Besides, I didn't wander off. I wasn't kidnapped by choice..."

Seeing this, Zhou Tong quickly pulled Jiang Yichen aside, "Alright, if you can't speak properly, then don't say anything."

She walked over to Jiang Mingyun's side. "Mingyun, don't blame him. He was probably in a hurry, so he didn't think before he spoke."

Jiang Mingyun looked at her resentfully, but dared not complain about him in front of Jiang Yichen. "I know."

Zhou Hanzhang couldn't help but laugh, and everyone looked at her when she laughed. She quickly said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. Now that the matter is resolved, I'll leave the people to you. I'll be going now."

Jiang Yichen nodded to her, "Thank you so much for your help today. I'll have my mother bring a gift to express my gratitude another day."
