A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 44 He was naturally incompatible

Jiang Mingyun looked at the dark, calming tea with obvious resistance.

Seeing her expression, Zhou Hanzhang knew she didn't want to drink it, but in her current state, she seemed to urgently need a bowl of calming tea.

"It's alright, this is calming tea brewed by Senior Brother Shen. It will make you feel better."

Jiang Mingyun looked at Zhou Hanzhang, reached out and took the bowl of calming tea, and drank it down without hesitation.

She collapsed shortly after drinking it.

Everyone stared at Shen Moli, who had just walked in.

"Don't look at me like that. This girl is obviously not in good condition. I only added some things to help her get some rest. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened to her in her current state."

Chen Moran looked at the unconscious Jiang Mingyun and nodded, "That's right. Her aura is very chaotic right now. If this continues, it's easy for problems to arise."

Zhou Hanzhang watched them completely ignoring Jiang Mingyun, who was slumped over the table, and discussed among themselves. He sighed inwardly, thinking, "They really are straight men."

At least take the girl back to bed and get her to lie down first.

"Young Master Jiang, why don't you take your sister back to her room to rest? It's not good for her to lie like this."

Jiang Yichen then realized what was happening and carried Jiang Mingyun inside, but the others remained on the bed watching and did not leave.

"Could you please take a look at my sister?" Jiang Yichen asked Shen Moli.

Shen Moli naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately took her pulse. "It seems she just caught a chill and was a little frightened, but otherwise there doesn't seem to be anything too serious?"

"Then why would she do this?" Jiang Yichen looked at Zhou Hanzhang.

“Don’t look at me. I don’t know anything. Her maid said that she ran to our school as soon as she woke up. I saw her standing at the door crying when I went out this morning, and I was startled.”

Why did she hug you as soon as she arrived?

"I was wondering the same thing." Zhou Hanzhang was an innocent victim.

Everyone was staring at her now, as if she had done something utterly heinous.

"Anyway, she's asleep right now, so I'll be going now."

She didn't want to get involved in anything strange, lest something go wrong and she be blamed.

Jiang Yichen grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry, but I still hope you can stay here and wait for her to wake up."

As Zhou Hanzhang hesitated, Chen Moran's voice came over, "The aura around her is very strange. She must have encountered something bad in her dream, which she brought into reality."

"Is that possible?" Jiang Yichen asked.

"That's how it looks, but the strangest thing is that the rampant death aura and ferocity on her body will gradually calm down after she gets close to Junior Brother Zhou."

“But we haven’t seen each other for many years, and our relationship is really just so-so,” Zhou Hanzhang explained.

Jiang Yichen nodded in agreement, “Indeed, Mingyun and Junior Brother Zhou haven’t seen each other for almost ten years.”

"That only shows that you hold a very important place in her heart. Look at her reaction just now; she trusts you completely."

Zhou Hanzhang: ...Thank you.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go back to my room and wait. Call me when she wakes up."

Jiang Yichen nodded. Just as Zhou Hanzhang was about to leave, Jiang Mingyun, lying on the bed, called out, "Brother Hanzhang..."

Zhou Hanzhang: !!

This time, before Jiang Yichen could speak, she said, "Alright, I'll stay here. Could you please go and get us some breakfast?"

Since Zhou Hanzhang was willing to stay, he naturally didn't say anything more. "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Just as he was about to go out, he encountered Gu Qingfeng, who had just woken up. He glanced into Jiang Yichen's room and saw Jiang Mingyun sleeping on the bed.

"What's this little girl doing here?"

"Are you healed?" Jiang Yichen asked, annoyed that he was being nosy.

Gu Qingfeng was completely unaware. "I'm much better. I can get up by myself today, so I guess I don't need you to accompany me to the outhouse anymore."

The moment the topic of the outhouse was mentioned, everyone present except Shen Moli changed their expressions.

Shen Moli looked at them with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong with you guys?"

"It's nothing." No one wanted to say it.

That's true, who would want to talk about something like this?

They couldn't help but sigh at having such an oddball roommate as Gu Qingfeng.

Jiang Yichen looked at Shen Moli and said, "If you're curious, just go with him to the outhouse and you'll find out."

Seeing their expressions, Shen Moli knew it wasn't a good thing and resolutely refused, saying, "Forget it, I'm afraid he won't let me come along."

"Right? Qingfeng." He even turned around and asked Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng looked at Shen Moli, who was smiling and asking him, "Is that right?" His expression changed several times. "This... no need. I feel much better in my back. I can go to the toilet by myself. Thank you for your hard work these past two days."

After saying that, he hurriedly left, clutching his back.

"Look, I'd love to go with him, but he doesn't seem so willing. He's being so polite to me, really."

The group exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "Are you sure he's only refusing you out of politeness?"

What if you put some kind of forbidden drug on someone's underling? Wouldn't that affect your happiness in your next life?

If it were us, we would have refused too.

I'm afraid Gu Qingfeng would rather take the fall himself than agree to let Shen Moli accompany him.

Not to mention that he doesn't know why he always has problems when he takes Gu Qingfeng's medicine, he treats Shen Moli like a plague god. Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think that he has an allergic reaction when he gets close to Shen Moli.

"When will my sister wake up?" Jiang Yichen asked Shen Moli.

Shen Moli shook his head. "I added fresh magnolia flowers that I picked last night to this medicine. It's very good for women and has a calming and soothing effect, but when she wakes up depends on herself."

What does that mean?

"To put it simply, being frightened is actually a stimulus to something in the brain, which causes a stress response and can lead to problems. If it's not addressed in time, it can easily cause problems later on. She looks a bit different from someone who has been frightened in ordinary ways."

Shen Moli looked at everyone staring at him and asked, "You don't believe me?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

It's not that they don't trust him, it's just that every time they use his medicine, they experience some problems.

It might not be Shen Moli's problem; it's just that the group of people are inherently incompatible with him.

Finally, Zhou Hanzhang spoke up, "Your medical skills are exceptionally high, how could I not believe you?"

Shen Moli then became happy, "Junior Brother knows how to talk."

"Alright, I don't have time to stay here with you all. I need to process my Qionghua flowers as soon as possible and make them all into Qionghua Dew. The longer they're left, the less effective they will be." With that, he turned and left.

Seeing that Shen Moli had left, Jiang Yichen said, "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go to the dining hall and get you some food; you're all probably hungry."

As for Mingyun, let's wait until she wakes up and then ask her what happened.
