Chapter 233 Father will help you get it back
The more Gui Wang spoke, the uglier Jiang Kun's face became.
Jiang Xiyu looked at Jiang Kun, her body becoming stiffer and stiffer. She just hoped that King Gui would stop talking.
In front of the King of Gui, Jiang Kun was at a loss for words. He looked at the King of Gui solemnly and said, "Xi'er is coming home today. I'm sorry I can't entertain Your Highness any longer."
The King of Gui then realized something and his face froze.
Seeing that the father and daughter both looked unhappy, King Gui felt uneasy and didn't dare to linger any longer. "Then I will come to visit you another day."
Jiang Kun looked at Uncle Lin and said, "Ah Lin, please see Prince Gui off for me."
"Yes." Uncle Lin responded and made a gesture of invitation to King Gui.
Prince Gui took a last look at Jiang Xiyu.
Originally, he came here today to get closer to Jiang Kun and express his gratitude to Jiang Xiyu for preparing medicinal food for his princess. But now, it seemed that the father and daughter had something to say, so he didn't want to stay any longer and followed the housekeeper out.
After Prince Gui left, Jiang Kun said to Jiang Xiyu seriously, "Come with me."
"Father..." Jiang Yuan felt Jiang Kun's seriousness and couldn't help but shout.
Jiang Kun gave Jiang Yuan a stern look and said, "You are not allowed to follow me. Go back to your room and do your homework."
Jiang Yuan secretly held Jiang Xiyu's hand, feeling a little worried about her.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at Jiang Yuan soothingly and said, "Be good and go back to your room to do your homework. I also made you your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Jiang Xiyu said, looking at Qing'er, "Take the young master back to his room."
Qing'er didn't dare to speak, but just looked at Jiang Xiyu with a worried look.
Jiang Xiyu handed Jiang Yuan to Qing'er and followed Jiang Kun away.
After entering the ancestral hall, Jiang Kun shouted, "Kneel down."
Jiang Xiyu knelt down without saying a word.
Seeing the same stubborn expression as his wife, Jiang Kun felt a headache and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you remember what your mother told you before she died?"
"I remember." Jiang Xiyu looked at the tablet with a dazed look in her eyes, as if she had recalled something. "Mother forbade me to reveal my medical skills to outsiders."
Seeing that she still remembered, Jiang Kun became even angrier, "Then what are you doing now?"
Jiang Xiyu knew what Jiang Kun was angry about and explained, "I was indeed making medicinal food with Princess Yunling, but they didn't know I knew medicine, and I didn't reveal that I knew medicine, so it wasn't a broken promise."
"You can cook medicinal food, but you don't know medical skills. Do you think everyone in the world is a fool?" Jiang Kun didn't know whether Jiang Xiyu wanted to lie to him or to herself.
"I have explained to them that I really don't have any medical skills. I just know some pharmacology, so I can make medicated food. They didn't doubt it, even the imperial doctors were convinced by me. As long as I don't say it, no one will know that I know medical skills." Jiang Xiyu said, looking at Liang's tablet.
She not only explained this to Jiang Kun, but also said it to Liang.
Since she had promised Liang, she would not go back on her word.
Of course, it’s not just for Liang, but also for herself.
Once she revealed that she knew medical skills, Xu Rui would definitely force her to treat Lin Rouyu. She didn't want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life, so she didn't want to reveal her medical skills more than anyone else.
Jiang Kun frowned, "But if you keep dealing with patients and medicinal food every day like this, sooner or later your medical skills will be exposed."
Jiang Xiyu knew what Jiang Kun was worried about. She turned around and knelt in front of Jiang Kun. "Father, I have learned medicine since I was a child, but I cannot use my medical skills for my own benefit. It's like you are a great general, but you can no longer fight on the battlefield. I think you can empathize with me."
How could Jiang Kun not feel distressed when he saw his daughter kneeling in front of him?
His daughter has been smart since she was young. Liang has always taken care of her, taken care of her body, and taught her medical skills. Liang once proudly said that Jiang Xiyu's medical skills were no less than hers.
When Liang was alive, he was very famous in Kyoto City because of his extraordinary medical skills.
If Jiang Xiyu could use medical skills, her achievements would definitely be no less than her mother's.
She used her inability to use medical skills to explain his inability to go to the battlefield.
But her medical skills were useless, and she couldn't use them to shine. Perhaps even he couldn't understand her pain.
Jiang Kun looked at Jiang Xiyu for a long time, then suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "Why do you want to make medicinal food? Do you want to use medical skills to save people?"
Jiang Xiyu was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not that great. It was Princess Yunling who wanted to open a herbal medicine restaurant. She knew I understood medical principles, so she asked me to help develop herbal medicine recipes. I had never made herbal medicine before, but I didn't expect that I was quite talented in it. The herbal medicine I made was not only delicious, but also very effective. So Princess Yunling gave me half of the restaurant and partnered with me to open the Yunxi Herbal Medicine Restaurant. It's been open for several days now, and business is pretty good."
At first, she didn't want to make medicinal food because she wanted to save people.
But after making the medicinal food, she found that her medicinal food could really save lives, and she began to feel a bit of compassion as a doctor.
Jiang Kun frowned. He didn't expect that Jiang Xiyu just made some medicinal food and Gu Yunling gave half of the restaurant to Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Kun didn't want her to deal with the rich and powerful, even though Gu Yunling sounded nice. "Xi'er, you're not short of money, so why bother with all this? And although Gu Yunling is only a princess, she's quite influential in Kyoto. Father doesn't want you to get involved in the struggle for imperial power."
Jiang Xiyu felt extremely bitter. Her father had spent all the money in the General's Mansion to prepare a beautiful wedding for her. She should have no shortage of money, but...
After a long silence, Jiang Xiyu spoke again, "Father, all my money has been used up by Yonglin Hou's people, so I want to divorce Xu Rui and don't want to stay in that dirty place anymore."
"What? They're going too far." Jiang Kun was shocked.
Some time ago, Jiang Xiyu came back and said she wanted a divorce. I thought it was because she couldn't stand Xu Rui's indecision, but I didn't expect there was this reason.
"Father will help you get it back."
Having said that, Jiang Kun stormed out angrily.
In Yun Dynasty, men are respected, and using women's dowry is a shameful thing, and people will criticize you. I didn't expect that the people in Yonglin Marquis' Mansion are so shameless.
Jiang Xiyu grabbed Jiang Kun's clothes and said, "Father, I will get these dowries back. You don't have to show up."
Jiang Kun has done a lot for her, and she doesn't want Jiang Kun to worry about her anymore.
Jiang Kun helped Jiang Xiyu up and looked at her with a distressed look on his face.
He saw how much Jiang Xiyu liked Xu Rui in the past, but he never expected that she would suffer so much injustice and be tortured by those people in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion for so many years.
"You've been wronged, why don't you come back and tell your father? If you want to divorce, then divorce. If you want to come back, then come back. You are my daughter, Jiang Kun. No matter what you do, your father will stand by you unwaveringly."
