A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 251 Helping Mr. and Mrs. Lisa

Robert and the others had naturally considered this as well. He patted Lisa on the back first before speaking to Zhou Hanzhang:

“We asked you for help, of course we inquired about you. Those princes are not bad, but most of them have their own desires, and we may not be able to give them what they want. But the new king is different. He is willing to give anything for Lisa. We dare not gamble.”

As for why we chose you, I imagine your father was willing to be demoted just to marry your mother. You must both be people of strong character and should be able to understand our suffering.

“Since you’ve come to us for help, I’ll assume what you’re saying is true. I can arrange a place for you to stay, but I still need to verify the truth of what you’re saying before deciding whether to help you,” Zhou Hanzhang said cautiously.

Robert understood and quickly replied, "Of course, of course. As long as you're willing to help us, we can forgo all profits when we do business with your Li family in the future."

"Let's not talk about that for now. First of all, even if we are willing to help you, if the King of the United States is really as you say, if he finds out that you are here, he will definitely not let it go."

I don't know what he's willing to sacrifice for Lisa. If the benefits are too great, our Emperor might consider having me hand you over. I can't guarantee what the outcome will be then.

Robert quickly assured him, "Of course, I'm already very grateful that you're willing to help us, how could I possibly ask for anything in return?"

Zhou Hanzhang was satisfied. It seemed that these two people were not bad, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to help them.

The meal was quickly finished. With the arrival of the American people imminent, Zhou Hanzhang dared not let them swagger out. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "When you came over just now, did anyone see you?"

“We all came with our heads covered, so no one should recognize us. We are asking for your help, and naturally we want to avoid causing you any danger.”

He's got brains, but then again, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to escape from the King of the United States so many times.

Lisa sighed as she wrapped the headscarf around herself, "If I could, I really wouldn't want this face. If it weren't for this face, I wouldn't have to suffer all this."

“Madam, you don’t need to be like this. You are naturally beautiful, and that’s not your fault. The fault lies with those who covet your beauty and do things to harm you.”

Robert agreed wholeheartedly, "That's what I said too, but she insists on thinking that way. I've seen her try to secretly scratch her face many times."

Zhou Hanzhang could understand. If he were in such a situation, he would be willing to do anything, let alone have his face slashed. He would even consider death a light punishment, as long as he could escape such a demon.

Lisa sighed, "I've heard that your Great Zhou has a kind of magic that can completely change a person's face and physique, but we've been searching for many years and haven't found anyone with that ability, otherwise I wouldn't be like this."

"Are you talking about the art of disguise?" Jiang Mingyun suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes, it's disguise. Miss, do you know someone like that?"

Robert and Lisa both stopped what they were doing and looked at Jiang Mingyun at the same time, hoping that she would say something good.

"Well, you could say we know each other, but we're not close," Jiang Mingyun said, looking at Zhou Hanzhang.

"What? This person has something to do with me?"

Jiang Mingyun nodded. "She is your master."

"My master? You mean Liu Niang?"

"It's not Lady Liu, it's someone under Lady Liu, but if you talk to her, she can definitely arrange it for you."

Robert and Lisa were overjoyed. Robert instinctively grabbed Zhou Hanzhang's hand, "Young Prince, please be sure to help us invite this person. Whatever reward you want, as long as we have it, we'll give it to you."

Zhou Hanzhang felt a little pain from Robert's grip and pulled his hand away. "Let me settle you down first, and then I'll go ask my master. It's fortunate that she came to the capital with us, otherwise you would have to go to Jiangnan to find her."

"Great!"

Robert looked at Lisa and said, "Once we find someone like that, we won't have to hide anymore."

Lisa was also very happy, her smile tinged with tears.

"Uh, don't get so excited yet. Although I said I could help ask around, I can't guarantee the result."

“We are already very happy that you are willing to speak. We have almost lost hope over the years. Fortunately, we decided to come and seek refuge with you.”

Zhou Hanzhang had a headache; it seemed that the two of them were now treating her like a lifeline.

“Cousin, do you still remember the courtyard where I settled Jia Yi’s wife and children? I want to settle them there. It’s in a remote place, and even if they guessed that they were in the capital, it wouldn’t be easy to find them in a short time. Besides, it’s my private property, and even the soldiers can’t easily go in without my permission.”

"Are you talking about that courtyard in the west of the city?"

Zhou Hanzhang nodded, "That's it. It's been uninhabited for a while. After Jia Yi's wife and children left, I had someone clean and furnish it again, and then it was left empty."

She glanced at the Roberts, "And the environment is so-so..."

"Do you own another house in the east of the city?"

"Ah~ you mean the one I used to house Fang Niu and Xiao Xue?"

"If you're talking about remote places, that place is even more remote. Besides, the two of them can help take care of the two of them there. While you were away, Fang Niu and Xiao Xue did a lot of things for us. We had to use trustworthy people. I was originally planning to find an opportunity to tell you about it."

"Fang Niu and Xiao Xue both live there, I think it's better for them to avoid people."

"Alright, you can make the arrangements."

Mr. and Mrs. Robert were extremely grateful that Zhou Hanzhang was willing to take them in. "We don't need anyone to take care of us. We can manage on our own. We are already very grateful for your help. How could we ask you to arrange for someone to take care of us?"

With that agreed, Zhou Hanzhang led the two to the courtyard in the west of the city, but they unfortunately ran into Ye Gui on the way.

Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun were so annoyed; he seemed to be everywhere.

Ye Gui saw Zhou Hanzhang and happily came forward to greet him, "Brother Zhou, Mingyun, you're here too."

Jiang Mingyun didn't want to give him a friendly look and didn't agree, but he seemed oblivious and leaned closer. "Mingyun, you haven't been to the academy in a long time. Is something wrong at home?"

Tsk, it's like you really don't know she went to Jiangnan.

Jiang Mingyun was certain that he was behind what happened in Jiangnan, but he was just being cautious and didn't show himself. Now he was pretending to bump into someone by chance on the street, and who knows what kind of wicked idea he was up to.
