A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 208 seems a bit familiar.

Looking at Jiang Mingyun like this, Zhou Hanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

Even after all that she's been through, Jiang Mingyun is still very trusting.

She didn't know if this was related to her being saved in her past life, but she had no memory of this redemption.

Sometimes she felt that she had let Jiang Mingyun down.

However, the fact that she allowed me to take the potted plant back was exactly what I wanted.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Uncle Huang took his leave.

Zhou Hanzhang picked up the potted plant directly. As soon as she moved it, the plant swayed gently and began to emit its fragrance again.

She already understood how this plant emitted its fragrance; just like the mimosa, it only emitted it when it was shaken.

Otherwise, it would just be an ordinary little flower on a normal day.

Zhou Hanzhang put the little flower down again, and another strong fragrance wafted into his nose and mouth.

Jiang Mingyun didn't understand why Zhou Hanzhang had put the flowers down again. "Brother Hanzhang, should I have someone deliver them to your home?"

"Mingyun, this flower is not right."

"what?"

Jiang Mingyun's face was filled with a clear-eyed stupidity.

Zhou Hanzhang sighed helplessly, "I can't explain it, but I think it's too much of a coincidence. The chrysanthemums in your yard are blooming so beautifully now, and I see that there seems to be a reason for how you've arranged them. Are you planning to hold a banquet?"

Jiang Mingyun was surprised, "That's right, my mother invited many housewives and their daughters to come and admire the flowers."

"When?"

"Tomorrow? I only found out when I got back. I was just about to come find you and invite you to come and join the fun tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come to see me today. Since there will be a lot of people tomorrow, I thought I'd show you around today instead."

"Here's what we'll do: go find a doctor who understands pharmacology to take a closer look and see if there's anything wrong with this flower."

Jiang Mingyun never asked why Zhou Hanzhang said anything; she would just go find someone directly.

The doctor arrived quickly; Zhou Hanzhang had moved the potted plant to the reception room before she arrived.

When the doctor arrived, covered in sweat, he found it somewhat strange that no one had asked him to treat any patients.

He saw Zhou Hanzhang sitting inside, and when he saw him coming, he came up to him and quickly stepped forward, "Young Master Zhou."

"Brother Hanzhang, the doctor has arrived."

Zhou Hanzhang nodded to the doctor, "Could you please take a look at this plant?"

The doctor, who had witnessed many sordid affairs in large mansions, couldn't help but be intrigued at this moment.

He first took out a handkerchief and neatly covered his mouth and nose, then took out a pair of gloves and put them on.

Everyone: ...

Seeing everyone looking at him like that, the doctor smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I was poisoned before because of something similar, so I'm being a little cautious."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't mind, "I understand, please take a look."

The doctor then slowly walked over to the plant and began to examine it carefully.

He seemed to have never seen anything like it before, and finally took off his mask and gloves. "It looks like an ordinary chrysanthemum, nothing special."

He couldn't understand why these young noblemen and ladies were so cautious and why they had hurriedly pulled him away from the clinic.

Zhou Hanzhang held onto the edge of the flowerpot, swayed it slightly, and a rich fragrance emanated from the plant.

The doctor was startled by the fragrance, "This..."

"I wanted you to take a look at this fragrance and see if it has any adverse effects on the human body?"

The doctor put his gloves back on and touched the plants directly, first the flowers, then the leaves, then the roots and stems, touching each one one by one, and smelling each one after touching it.

"This……"

The doctor frowned slightly as he smelled the fragrance. "This fragrance... it seems familiar. I feel like I've smelled it somewhere before."

Zhou Hanzhang was overjoyed. "Please think about it."

The plant gave her a very strange feeling. She knew that she was being too cautious, but if there was a real problem, it would be too late to investigate once a problem occurred.

The doctor racked his brains but couldn't remember, but after touching the plant, he roughly understood its habits.

"It appears to be non-toxic and even has a stimulating effect. However..."

The doctor hesitated for a moment before asking, "If possible, could I take the plant back to study it?"

Zhou Hanzhang thought for a moment, but still refused, "No need. Since you said it looks non-toxic and refreshing, and seems like a good thing, we are relieved. Thank you."

Jiang Mingyun had someone see the old doctor out.

"Mingyun, I'll take these flowers back and take a look. If there's nothing wrong with them, I'll bring them back to you."

"It's alright, Brother Hanzhang, you can take it."

Zhou Hanzhang planned to take the flower back to show Zhou Tong, whose laboratory should have the tools to test it.

It's a pity that Shen Moli hasn't returned yet, otherwise he might have immediately recognized the secret behind this flower.

She couldn't help but think of the Jiang family's flower-viewing banquet tomorrow. Since the flowers were placed in their garden, if there was a purpose behind it, the most likely opportunity would be the flower-viewing banquet tomorrow.

With so many people around, it wouldn't be easy for something to go wrong.

"Alright, I'll take the flowers back first."

"Brother Hanzhang, aren't you eating here? Mother is almost ready."

Jiang Mingyun looked at the sky; it was almost lunchtime.

Zhou Hanzhang thought about how enthusiastic Madam Jiang had been earlier, and it seemed inappropriate not to stay for lunch, so he decided to have lunch before leaving.

"Then should I find someone to help Brother Hanzhang send this potted plant back to the Zhou residence first?"

"No need, I'll just take it with me when I leave."

"Ok."

Jiang Mingyun seemed somewhat disappointed when she saw that Zhou Hanzhang did not need her help.

However, she was not disappointed for long before Madam Jiang came to call them for dinner.

Jiang Mingyun led Zhou Hanzhang to the main hall, where Madam Jiang had already prepared the meal.

When she saw Zhou Hanzhang and the others coming over, she warmly stepped forward and took Zhou Hanzhang's hand. "Hanzhang, come and sit down. I don't know what you like to eat now. I've made it according to your childhood preferences. See if you like it. If you don't like it, just tell me and I'll know next time."

Looking at the table full of dishes, all of which were his favorites, Zhou Hanzhang couldn't help but admire them, thinking to himself, "Indeed, the matriarchs of ancient times all had a very clever and insightful mind."

It's truly remarkable that Madam Jiang still remembers the dishes she loved to eat when she was a child, after all these years.

“These are all my favorite foods, Mrs. Jiang, thank you for your thoughtfulness.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang beamed with joy and quickly invited them to sit down.

Xiao Ba wasn't picky about food; he was happy whenever he saw something delicious, and he always seemed kind and gentle to Madam Jiang.

Just as everyone sat down and was about to pick up their chopsticks, a voice came from the doorway, "Why did Mother eat before I did?"
