Chapter 236 Express your feelings
Jingyuyuan next door.
Qing'er told Jiang Xiyu everything Gulin had just said.
Jiang Xiyu frowned and looked very serious when he heard this.
Seeing this, Qing'er also became nervous and whispered, "The prince noticed that not all the jewels in this box are his. Does this mean that we were wrong? The prince is not the one who gave you the jewelry before."
Jiang Xiyu's mind is in a mess now.
She couldn't be sure that Gulin was the masked man just based on the similar boxes and jewelry. After all, she had tested Gulin before, and at that time there were no teeth marks on Gulin's Adam's apple.
However, there are very few people in Kyoto who can easily produce jewelry of such quality and level. It can be said that they can be counted on one hand.
Gulin is definitely one of them, especially the batch of jewelry and jade he gave, which are extremely similar to the jewelry given by the masked man before, both in quality and color. It is really hard not to be suspicious.
However, this time he actually saw directly that she had mixed the previous jewels in the box. He recognized that those jewels were not his. This did not prove his innocence, but only proved that the things in today's box were prepared by him personally, so he could still see that there were two more jewels in the box.
As a dignified prince, even if he wanted to prepare a thank-you gift for her, he could have asked his subordinates to do it, but he prepared it himself.
The King of Qin's thoughts...
Jiang Xiyu's mind flashed back to the scene of him putting flowers in her hair under the sycamore tree in Lanruo Temple. Her delicate and beautiful face couldn't help but turn red slowly.
It seems that she didn't think much about it, and the King of Qin was indeed interested in her.
But why? They had never met before. He only helped her once at Lanruo Temple. Could it be that he fell in love with her just because of that incident?
She always felt that something else had happened in the meantime, something she didn't know about.
She needed to test and investigate further to determine whether the King of Qin was the masked man. But she couldn't continue making this deer glue porridge.
Jiang Xiyu took out the two pieces of jewelry she had put in the box earlier and asked Qing'er to put them back in the cage.
She picked up the box and said, "Let's go to the restaurant."
Qing'er felt that Madam Jin'er was worried, so she didn't dare to ask anything and just followed her.
After Jiang Xiyu arrived at the restaurant, business was booming. When the owner saw her, he greeted her warmly.
But Jiang Xiyu was in no mood to care about these things now, so she asked directly, "Is the princess here?"
Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything and said politely, "Yes, she is on the third floor."
"Well, I'll go find the princess."
After saying that, he went straight to the third floor.
There are no diners or businesses on the third floor. It is just a rest area built by Gu Yunling. There are only a few rooms for her and Jiang Xiyu to rest.
"Sister Yun." Jiang Xiyu went to Gu Yunling's room and knocked on the door.
Gu Yunling originally wanted to take a nap, but when she heard Jiang Xiyu's voice, she immediately asked Nanny Lin to open the door.
"Madam." Nanny Lin bowed to Jiang Xiyu and then stepped aside to invite Jiang Xiyu into the house.
Seeing Gu Yunling sitting on the bed, Jiang Xiyu said a little embarrassedly, "But I came at the wrong time and disturbed Sister Yun's rest."
Gu Yunling smiled and stood up, pulling her to sit at the table. "I've been resting for a while, but why did you come to the restaurant instead of resting at home?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled and said, "I haven't been here for a few days. I just came to see you."
Gu Yunling didn't doubt him and immediately pulled her over and said excitedly, "You saw it, it's so late in the afternoon and the restaurant is still full of customers. Our restaurant is doing well."
Jiang Xiyu nodded seriously, "It's indeed unexpectedly good!"
Gu Yunling glared at her complacently, "The medicinal food you developed is so delicious and has such powerful effects. I predicted long ago that our Yunxi Restaurant would become a huge hit."
Jiang Xiyu was amused by her words.
Gu Yunling suddenly sighed again, "If I had known our restaurant would be so popular, I would have bought the three big restaurants next door as well."
Jiang Xiyu persuaded her, "Our restaurant has just opened, so this is great. Even if there aren't enough seats, we can create an atmosphere where our restaurant is packed with customers, letting everyone in Kyoto know that our Yunxi Restaurant is doing well. The better our business is, the more diners we will attract."
Furthermore, those diners who haven't had the chance to try our medicinal food will always find a way to get it. Although the lack of space may indeed lead to a loss of diners, it will also increase the mystery and freshness of our restaurant. Sister Yun is not in a hurry to expand the restaurant for the time being. It's good the way it is now."
"You are really smart." Gu Yunling praised Jiang Xiyu.
She has been thinking about how to expand the restaurant these past two days. She even made an appointment with the owner of the restaurant next door to discuss the sale of the restaurant.
But what Jiang Xiyu said made sense. Their restaurant had only been open for three days, and they had to create an atmosphere of being crowded to make others think that their restaurant was doing good business.
People always like to gather in groups, and they like to go where business is good.
Now it seems that they are indeed not in a hurry to expand the restaurant.
Jiang Xiyu didn't forget the purpose of coming here. She put the box on the table, looked at Nanny Lin and Qing'er and said, "You two go down first. I have something to discuss with the princess."
Gu Yunling thought that Jiang Xiyu was just visiting the restaurant, but judging from her current appearance, she must have something to talk to her about, so she raised her eyes and winked at Nanny Lin.
Nanny Lin and Qing'er immediately bowed and retreated.
Nanny Lin considerately closed the door for the two of them, and took Qing'er to the third floor stairs to guard.
After they all left, Jiang Xiyu opened the box and pushed it in front of Gu Yunling.
Jiang Xiyu didn't say anything, but Gu Yunling guessed something immediately and frowned, "Is it a gift from the 15th?"
Jiang Xiyu frowned and looked at Gu Yunling, "Sister Yun, do you know something?"
Gu Yunling took one look at Jiang Xiyu's expression and sighed softly, "It seems you already know what he's thinking. He is indeed interested in you."
Gu Yunling's words instantly made Jiang Xiyu pale. Without thinking, she retorted, "How could that be? I'm a married woman."
Gu Yunling frowned, "I don't know what made him go crazy all of a sudden. He used to be so indifferent to women, but I don't know why he suddenly became interested in you, and he refused to listen to anyone's advice."
Jiang Xiyu thought again about her several interactions with Gulin, but she couldn't figure out what it was about her that attracted him.
Gu Yunling glanced at Jiang Xiyu's expression and said cautiously, "Although he has feelings for you, his character is absolutely acceptable. He will definitely not do anything out of line with you, and he probably won't affect your life."
Jiang Xiyu lowered her eyes and thought of the masked man again.
