A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 72 Your family thinks you are too thin

The grandfather threw his pipe at Li Xianda, saying, "Who asked you to be so nosy?"

But when his eyes met Zhou Hanzhang's, his expression immediately changed. "My darling, you've come to see your maternal grandparents, haven't you?"

Zhou Hanzhang dared not say he was wrong, and naturally nodded.

Li Xianda felt extremely wronged. "They came looking for me..."

Madam Su glared at him, not believing him at all. "You're still talking nonsense! If you were looking for me, why did you come to our courtyard?"

"Shouldn't I come and pay my respects to you first?" Li Xianda said in a low voice.

But only he could hear the sound.

"Goodness, what brings you here today?"

Zhou Hanzhang coughed tactically, and was about to speak when Su said, "Why is my darling coughing? Someone, come quickly and get my darling a bowl of rock sugar pear soup right away."

"No, no need, Grandmother," Zhou Hanzhang quickly refused.

But her refusal was ineffective. Madam Su took her hand and said, "You still need to take better care of yourself. I heard you entered the academy. How are you doing?"

Zhou Hanzhang knew that his affairs had already been told to his maternal grandparents in detail, but looking at the two loving elders, he still told them in detail about some of the things that had happened to him at the academy.

Although they knew all about these things, they were happy because Zhou Hanzhang was talking to them.

The two men continued to respond to her, making her feel awkward in the slightest.

When she mentioned discovering Jiang Xinyi's affair, Su's eyes sharpened briefly, but she didn't show it in front of Zhou Hanzhang.

She looked at Zhou Hanzhang with a smile, "Xinyi has always been a well-behaved and obedient child. How did she end up with such a person?"

Madam Su then looked at Li Xianda, "Ada, go quickly and investigate Jia Yi thoroughly. Make sure you find out how many spider webs are in his house, or you won't need to come back."

Li Xianda: ...

"Am I not your biological grandson?"

He was very suspicious.

Madam Su glared at him. "If you weren't my grandson, would you be standing here?"

"Alright, alright, you're the ancestor, you decide, whatever makes you happy, whatever makes my cousin happy, this old servant will go now."

Li Xianda even pretended to be a servant and gave Su a grand salute.

Su laughed, then spat at him. "Hurry up and go. We'll wait here. Make sure you're back before dinner, understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

Li Xianda dared not utter a single word of dissent.

In the eyes of Zhou Hanzhang's maternal grandparents, this was a matter of utmost importance.

He walked out quickly.

Madam Su looked at Master Li, who was still standing to the side, and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go with your grandson to find out everything about that person."

“This is a small matter that Ada can handle himself. Can’t you let me stay here and look after Zhang’er a little longer?”

Master Li doesn't want to leave.

"I will just watch from here and won't say a word," Master Li assured him.

Seeing this, Su ignored him and looked at Zhou Hanzhang again, saying, "Goodness, why didn't you tell me sooner? Xinyi is really unlucky to have such a person."

"That's right, if it weren't for the nanny in Mingyun's household accidentally seeing Jia Yi, we wouldn't have found out."

Seeing that her maternal grandmother hadn't paid any attention to Jiang Mingyun, Zhou Hanzhang spoke up for her.

Only then did Madam Su look at Jiang Mingyun.

Jiang Mingyun, who is usually very talkative, didn't dare to say a word in front of the two elderly people. When Su Shi looked over, she quickly smiled ingratiatingly at her.

"We really owe this to this girl. What are you still standing for? Sit down."

Jiang Mingyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you, Grandmother Li."

Zhou Hanzhang knew that his maternal grandmother was extremely protective and vengeful; she must still remember the time when Jiang Mingyun pushed him into the icy lake.

Zhou Hanzhang leaned close to her ear and said, "Grandmother, at least smile at her. You've scared the young girl so much that she doesn't dare to speak."

Madam Su glared at her, "Who isn't a young girl?"

"Grandmother!"

"Alright, if you don't mind, why would I?"

Madam Su looked at Jiang Mingyun and said, "Little girl, why don't you stay for dinner today?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Grandmother Li," Jiang Mingyun replied with a smile.

That afternoon, Zhou Hanzhang made the two elders of the Li family laugh heartily, bringing them great joy.

Finally, Madam Su looked at Jiang Mingyun with much more kindness.

Around the right time, a servant brought in two bowls of rock sugar pear soup. Madam Su quickly picked up one of the bowls and said, "My dear, eat up and soothe your throat."

Zhou Hanzhang was powerless against his maternal grandmother. Seeing the spoon his grandmother offered him, he had no choice but to open his mouth and eat.

Mrs. Su smiled broadly, "Come on, have another bite."

Zhou Hanzhang took another bite, then quickly took the food from her. "Grandma, I can eat by myself. I'm not a child anymore."

"Why aren't you a child?"

Su didn't insist on feeding her, but put the bowl in her hands, saying, "There's more when you finish eating."

Zhou Hanzhang quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Grandmother, if I eat any more, I won't be able to eat later."

Only then did Madam Su let her go.

"You need to eat more. You're too thin. Look at Mingyun, she's just the right size."

Zhou Hanzhang looked at his hands. He wasn't fat, but he wasn't too thin either.

There is indeed a kind of thinness that your family thinks you are very thin.

She glanced at Jiang Mingyun.

Jiang Mingyun quickly forced a smile, holding the empty bowl in her hands with unusual obedience, "Grandmother Li, I ate a lot."

Su Shi: ...

Who cares how much you eat?

Never mind, it was brought by my own sweetheart.

Do you want more?

"Yes, yes," Jiang Mingyun nodded hurriedly.

Madam Su was speechless, but she could only order the servants to bring her another bowl.

"Thank you, Grandmother Li."

“Look at them, and then look at yourself. Learn from them, eat more to grow taller. You’re as skinny as a bamboo pole.”

Su was somewhat displeased.

The original owner had a very good relationship with this maternal grandmother, and Zhou Hanzhang now also had the original owner's feelings for Su Shi, so he wasn't afraid when he saw her unhappy.

Zhou Hanzhang reached out and placed his hand on Su's face, tugging at it. "Grandmother, it won't look good if you keep such a stern face. Look, you've got two more wrinkles now."

Su gently slapped her hand away, "Are you asking for a beating?"

“Grandmother, how could you bear to hit me? You’re just trying to scare me.” Zhou Hanzhang wasn’t afraid at all and even leaned closer.

Seeing this, Madam Su couldn't help but burst out laughing and gently slapped her face.

"You're just spoiled and arrogant. You take our pampering for granted and act so recklessly."

Although Madam Su said this, her expression remained unchanged, and she still looked at Zhou Hanzhang with the same loving gaze.

Zhou Hanzhang looked at her, pretending to be smug, "That's only because I have such good maternal grandparents."

Master Li quickly chimed in, "That's right."

Madam Su glared at him again, and Master Li immediately shut his mouth.
