Chapter 143 Jiang Qinian was beaten by Nan Qiao's shoe sole
Feng Wuhen watched Divine Doctor Nan Qiao devouring the roast chicken and two other meat dishes on the table.
He immediately picked up the chopsticks and put another roasted chicken leg from the plate into Jiang Yimo's bowl, then picked out a few other pieces of good meat and put them into her bowl.
"Momo, the hungry ghost is coming, hurry up and pick up your chopsticks to eat, otherwise, all the delicious food on the table will fall into his bottomless pit."
Feng Wuhen reminded her.
Jiang Yimo looked at Feng Wuhen and Doctor Nan Qiao with some amusement, then she also picked up her chopsticks to eat.
After dinner, Doctor Nan Qiao kept pestering Jiang Yimo to discuss medical skills, wanting her to tell him how he detoxified Feng Wuhen and Empress Xian.
Jiang Yimo was so annoyed by him that she sat down and explained to him in detail the whole process of detoxifying Feng Wuhen and Concubine Xian.
But when she was halfway through her speech, the housekeeper suddenly came to report.
"Miss Jiang, there is a middle-aged man outside who claims to be your father. Do you want to see him?"
"What's his name?" Jiang Yimomo asked as she looked up.
"It seems his name is Jiang Qinian." The housekeeper replied.
"No, just let him go!" Jiang Yimo replied immediately.
But just as the butler turned around and took two steps, Jiang Yimo behind him called him again.
"Butler, wait! Let him in." Jiang Yimo changed the topic again.
Hearing this, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to his senses and said respectfully, "Yes, Miss Jiang!"
Then the butler quickened his pace and walked out.
After the housekeeper left, Feng Wuhen, who was sitting next to her, asked, "Why do you want to see him?"
Jiang Yimo smiled and replied, "I want to see what he is up to next."
Feng Wuhen teased, "Haha, it is said that Jiang Qinian is living a very comfortable life now."
Doctor Nan Qiao listened to the conversation between the two but did not interrupt. Instead, he took a thin brush and a thick little notebook and recorded the medical knowledge that Jiang Yimo had just explained to him. He remembered it in great detail.
A few minutes later, the housekeeper led Jiang Qinian into the living room.
Jiang Qinian saw his beautiful eldest daughter, sitting properly in a white dress, just like the way she looked when he first saw his wife Gu Zhiyu.
At that time, his wife Gu Zhiyu was as quiet and beautiful as Jiang Yimo, and she attracted him deeply.
Later, he tried every means to get Gu Zhiyu. He thought that if he became Gu Yebei's son-in-law, his career would have a bright future. However, he did not expect that the Gu family would soon fall into decline and be exiled to a poor place.
Because he was the son-in-law of the Gu family, he was transferred to Haicheng to be the prefect, which made him lose the opportunity to curry favor with the powerful and get promoted. So, he later took out his resentment on his wife Gu Zhiyu, and became more and more annoyed with her. He spent his time drinking and having sex with other women outside. Later, he had an affair with Ruan, the daughter of the richest man in Haicheng...
At this moment, Jiang Qinian thought about the past and felt a little regretful. If he had been better to Gu Zhiyu, he might not have ended up like this. However, it was useless for him to regret now.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked in front of Feng Wuhen, brushed his sleeves on both sides, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Evil King, is greeted by your servant Jiang Qinian!"
But Feng Wuhen did not let him stand up, but asked calmly: "Jiang Qinian, why did you come to see me?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, I am here to take my eldest daughter Jiang Yimo back home."
Jiang Qinian stated directly the purpose of his visit to the Evil King's Mansion.
"Momo severed the father-daughter relationship with you in front of me when we were in Haicheng." Feng Wuhen said.
"But Your Highness, the blood relationship between Momo and I can never be severed. Moreover, we did not have the official documents to sever the relationship at that time." Jiang Qinian argued.
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo brightened up noticeably.
Jiang Qinian's words reminded the two of them that he was right. In ancient times, they needed official documents to sever the relationship between father and daughter.
However, with Feng Wuhen around, it is not difficult to get the document to sever the engagement.
Feng Wuhen said, "Master Jiang, you have reminded me. Don't worry, I will have the government send you the severance document tomorrow."
"Uh, this - Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I came to the Evil King's Mansion today to take Momo back home. After all, Momo is still an unmarried girl, so it's a bit inappropriate for her to live in the Evil King's Mansion."
Jiang Qinian explained.
Feng Wuhen glanced at Jiang Qinian with his extremely gloomy and cold eyes, and immediately warned him: "If there is anything inappropriate, I have the final say in this palace. If people outside dare to gossip, I will pull out their tongues as a respectful example."
Jiang Qinian felt Feng Wuhen's sharp gaze and was so frightened that his body trembled and his mouth trembled.
"Your Highness, my eldest daughter has not yet married. Doing this will affect Momo's reputation."
Jiang Yimo, who was sitting nearby, sneered after hearing what the original owner's father said, "Master Jiang, do you really care about my reputation? When I was only a few months old, you allowed the Ruan family to ruin my reputation and let the insulting rumors about me spread throughout Haicheng."
"They said I was born to bring bad luck to my mother, that I was born to be a lonely star, and that I was the reincarnation of a man-eating plant. They even threw me into a deserted little yard in the back hills and left me to fend for myself. If it weren't for my wet nurse raising me, I would have most likely stopped at a few months old..."
When Jiang Yimo mentioned the poor original owner again, her voice became choked again.
The original owner's life was really miserable.
Jiang Yimo hopes that in her next life she will be reborn into a family with parents who love her.
After Jiang Yimo finished speaking, Nan Qiao, the divine doctor who had been sitting in the corner writing a note, suddenly stood up and pointed at Jiang Qinian and cursed: "You, as a father, are worse than a beast. Tiger Du still knows how to protect his child, but you are a human with seven emotions and six desires, but you treat your daughter like that."
"This Jiang girl is so smart and capable, how can you treat her like that? I didn't want to get involved in your mess, but you are such a bad father that even I can't stand you."
After Doctor Nan Qiao finished his scolding, he immediately took off one of his shoes and rushed towards Jiang Qinian.
"Pa pa pa!" He hit Jiang Qinian's head hard several times.
Jiang Qinian reflexively put his hands up to protect his head and hid in the living room.
But he didn't dare to hide behind the Evil King and Jiang Yimo. Finally, he had to escape from the living room of the Evil King's Mansion. However, the Divine Doctor Nan Qiao still chased him relentlessly and stopped only at the gate of the Evil King's Mansion.
The purpose that the mysterious man had given to Jiang Qinian was not achieved. He turned around and took another look at the crazy old man who was standing at the gate of the Evil King's Mansion and had not chased him out. He could only leave in shame.
