A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 272 Call Me Sister Fangniang

Qianmian got excited when she heard that she hadn't told her family yet, and paced back and forth in the room. "How can you not tell your family yet? Our competition is about to start, and time is of the essence!"

"...Don't worry, we can rehearse even if I didn't say anything. My family won't object. I'm just telling them out of respect for them."

Qianmian looked at Zhou Hanzhang with some doubt, "Really?"

Zhou Hanzhang raised his hand to his ear, "I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Thousand Faces nodded with a hint of doubt. "So you came to see me so early because of Princess Nalisa?"

"Brother Thousand Faces, you are so smart."

"...Call me Sister Fangniang."

Are you that afraid of being exposed?

"What does 'dropping the mask' mean?" Qianmian asked, puzzled.

Zhou Hanzhang explained the meaning of "revealing one's identity" to him, and Qianmian's eyes lit up. He immediately reached out and pinched Zhou Hanzhang's cheek, saying, "Why does your little brain have so many strange and wonderful things to say?"

Zhou Hanzhang couldn't hold back and slapped her hand away, saying, "Don't touch me."

Just as they finished speaking, they heard the sound of something falling at the door, and both of them looked towards the doorway.

Seeing Jiang Mingyun's surprised expression, as if she was about to turn and run away but had been caught red-handed, she stammered, "Um, I, I..."

Her mind was in turmoil, a thousand possibilities racing through her thoughts: Why was Zhou Hanzhang here?

Zhou Hanzhang spoke first, "Mingyun? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Mingyun then realized what was happening. After thinking for a long time, she walked directly to the front and stood between Zhou Hanzhang, staring wide-eyed at Qianmian, who was still dressed as Fangniang. "Don't you dare touch me! My brother Hanzhang wouldn't be interested in you!"

“…Mingyun, it’s not what you think.” Zhou Hanzhang tried to explain.

Jiang Mingyun pushed Fangniang out, but when he couldn't budge her, he gave up and yelled at her, "Get out of here! Don't come near my brother Hanzhang!"

Qianmian found the little girl quite amusing and wanted to tease her a bit, so he asked, "Are you sure your brother Hanzhang wants me to go out?"

Jiang Mingyun immediately turned to look at Zhou Hanzhang, "Brother Hanzhang."

Zhou Hanzhang was quite troubled. "Mingyun, I came here to find Fangniang because I have important business."

"What important business could you possibly have that requires you to come to a place like this, a brothel? Someone told me you were coming here yesterday, but I didn't believe them. Who would have thought..."

Qianmian watched this scene from the side and laughed, "What, is it wrong for your brother Hanzhang to come here and have some fun? Who do you think you are to stand here and say such things?"

"I grew up with him since I was a child, how could I not say these things? It's you, a woman of the night, who must be the one clinging to my brother Hanzhang!"

Qianmian blinked at Zhou Hanzhang, "I didn't expect you to be so charming, making this young girl so jealous of you."

Jiang Mingyun blushed. "Don't talk nonsense. My brother Hanzhang is a man of noble character and integrity. He will find a suitable lady to marry and have children with in the future. He absolutely cannot allow someone like you to pester him."

"Who is this 'young lady' you're talking about? You?"

"Of course not, but it can't be you either. Brother Hanzhang, let's go."

Jiang Mingyun pulled Zhou Hanzhang away, intending to leave.

Zhou Hanzhang felt a headache coming on. "Mingyun, things really aren't what you think. He's my master's younger brother."

"I don't care if she's your younger brother or sister, I just can't let her ruin your reputation..."

Jiang Mingyun didn't react immediately. She pulled Zhou Hanzhang and started walking out, but as soon as she stepped out the door, she froze and turned to look at Fangniang. "Wh-what?"

Zhou Hanzhang found it amusing and pulled Jiang Mingyun back to sit down. "I said, she is my master's younger brother."

"Brother, younger brother?"

Seeing Jiang Mingyun's stunned expression, Qianmian found it somewhat amusing, "Your little sister is quite adorable."

Jiang Mingyun seemed not to have heard what had just been said, and sat up again. "You, you, you're a man?"

Qianmian winked at Jiang Mingyun, "What, young lady, don't you think it looks right?"

Jiang Mingyun felt as if a circle was spinning in front of her, making her dizzy.

She walked up to him and looked him up and down, left and right, but she still couldn't figure out that he was a man.

"Don't lie to me."

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Qianmian simply waved his hand and revealed his male form.

Jiang Mingyun was so startled by his move that she fell back into her seat, stammering, "You, you, you..."

With a smile, Qianmian said, "You little girl, how come you've developed a stutter at such a young age? That's not easy to cure."

Zhou Hanzhang glared at him and poured Jiang Mingyun a cup of tea. "Stop teasing her."

"Sure, then come find me for rehearsal tomorrow."

“No problem, but today you have to come with me to help Princess Lisa with her business.”

"Didn't you say you were bringing them over? Why do I have to come to your door again? I have so many things to do every day..."

I don't want to go.

"It's not far, it won't even take half an hour to get there. If you don't help me solve this problem, then I won't do anything for you either."

"Hey, wait, I only said a few words and you reacted like this. I'll go, but you have to wait for me to arrange things first."

Zhou Hanzhang had no objection to this and let him arrange things as he pleased.

Jiang Mingyun was so shocked by this sudden change that she couldn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until Fangniang, who had regained her appearance, left that she came to her senses. "He's that master of disguise?"

Zhou Hanzhang looked at her with a helpless smile, "You've finally come to your senses."

"He... he's so powerful, then Princess Lisa and the others don't need to worry."

Zhou Hanzhang shook her head and told Jiang Mingyun about how Zhou Haochen's men had come to her house in the west of the city to search for people yesterday.

Jiang Mingyun was furious after hearing this. "He's still so annoying. In the end, what happened? Princess Lisa and the others weren't found, were they?"

"Are you stupid? If they could find me, why would I be here today?"

"That's true."

Qianmian quickly arranged the work and pulled Zhou Hanzhang and the other person out the door, saying, "Go quickly and finish your business so you can come back and help me with my business."

Jiang Mingyun still didn't know what Zhou Hanzhang had promised Qianmian, and looked at them with curiosity.

"Hey, this little girl can help too." Thousand Faces' eyes lit up again.

Zhou Hanzhang glared at him. "Don't even think about it."

"What exactly happened?" Jiang Mingyun became increasingly curious.

Zhou Hanzhang didn't want her to know that she was a girl yet, and needed to find a suitable time to tell her. "It's nothing, just a small favor I need to do, it's not a big deal."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't want to talk about it, and Jiang Mingyun didn't ask any further. In her eyes, Zhou Hanzhang was omnipotent; he could help with anything, big or small.

They soon arrived at the courtyard in the west of the city. Zhou Hanzhang discovered that Zhou Haochen had still arranged people there, but he did so much less openly and discreetly than before.
