Fang searched the entire Qing 'an Prefecture but did not find any trace of Li Yi.
"Fang Laosan, you fool. Isn't the son-in-law with you? You've lost him!" Another man beside Fang looked equally anxious.
"I don't know. I just went to the bathroom and when I came back, the son-in-law was gone!" Fang said helplessly.
Even he couldn't understand. How could such a grown man like the son-in-law go missing just like that?
"If the son-in-law really can't be found, I'll see how you're going to explain it to Miss!" The man beside him glared at him and said.
"Do you think the son-in-law … ran away?"
At this moment, a hint of hesitation appeared on the other man's face and he spoke hesitantly.
"Nonsense!"
Hearing this, the man surnamed Fang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He turned his head abruptly and looked at him with an unfriendly gaze. He reprimanded, "The son-in-law is not that kind of person!"
"Fang." The man who reprimanded the man surnamed Fang spoke in a low voice and said slowly, "What Old Wu said is not impossible. After all, the son-in-law …"
He did not finish his sentence but everyone understood what he meant.
After all, the son-in-law … was snatched!
Although during this period of time, almost everyone had deliberately ignored this fact, it was still an undeniable fact.
Because of the appearance of Li Yi, their lives had long been turned upside down. No one was willing to mention that matter. From the bottom of their hearts, they had already regarded Li Yi as one of their own.
However, no matter how unwilling they were to admit it, at this moment, everyone could not help but think of a certain worst possibility.
"Everyone, let's split up and search again. Where could the son-in-law be waiting for us!" After a moment, a resolute expression appeared on the face of the man surnamed Fang. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
The rest of them looked at each other and could only sigh. They dispersed and began another round of searching.
…
…
Li Yi was not a medical student. If the princess had any other illness, he, who had not digested a medical book, naturally had no right to speak.
But when it came to treating gastrointestinal problems and indigestion, he could be considered half an expert.
In his previous life, in order to adjust his stomach, his mother had used all kinds of methods. At that time, Li Yi did not care much about it. Now that he thought about it, each and every one of them was clearly imprinted in his mind, as if they were carved into his memory.
Li Yi did not give them a long lecture on modern medical theories and directly said, "Other than using red fruits and sugar to stir-fry candied haws, you can crush corn and yam together and boil it into porridge. It will also have a miraculous effect on treating Wangfei's illness."
Stir-fried hawthorn with sugar and yam porridge were common dishes on Li Yi's dining table.
There was no digestive aid in this world. Hawthorn could only be used as an appetizer. When the appetite was good, the body would naturally be better.
The pretty servant girl and the young prince listened attentively. Li Yi continued, "Every day after dinner, Wangfei can take a walk in the garden for an hour. It will also help to alleviate the illness. In addition, there is one more thing to remember. For this period of time, Wangfei's diet should be light. You must not eat meat or fish all day. Try to avoid greasy food, such as …"
At this point in Li Yi's speech, the young man hurriedly ordered the few cooks, "Did you all hear that? Remove all the greasy dishes I mentioned!"
"That's about all I know." After speaking for so long, Li Yi could not help but feel a little thirsty. His eyes inadvertently glanced out of the window and found that the sky had completely darkened.
"Yanzhi, do you remember everything I said?" The young man turned to the young girl and asked.
Hearing this, Yanzhi nodded, "Young prince, I have remembered everything."
Even the imperial physicians were helpless. This handsome scholar in front of them was their only hope.
If Li Yi was giving them a prescription, they would definitely carefully consider it. But he did not mention anything from the beginning to the end. Most of it was a change in the diet. Although they did not understand the reason, it seemed that he did not speak without thinking …
"It is getting late. I have told you everything I know. I will not disturb you anymore." With the ten taels of silver already in his pocket, Li Yi very timely said his goodbyes.
If he was any later, Fang and the others would be anxious to death …
The young man did not know whether Li Yi's method was effective or not. But the appearance of the candied hawthorn had indeed improved his mother's condition. For this, he had to owe Li Yi a favor. Putting an arm around Li Yi's shoulder, he said, "Brother, you have helped me so much. If I do not thank you properly, I will feel very sorry. How about this, we will hold a banquet in the Jade Courtyard tonight. We will not stop until we are drunk!"
During this period of time, his mother's illness had almost become a sore point in his heart. Now that he had seen endless hope, he was extremely carefree.
"There is no need for a banquet. I have urgent matters to attend to at home …"
"Hey, brother, this is not right. Are you looking down on me?"
"I do not mean that …"
"Then follow me!"
…
…
The young girl named Yanzhi watched the young prince and the scholar leave with their arms around each other's shoulders. Her pretty face could not help but show a trace of a smile.
This young prince of her family was good at everything except for the fact that he did not have any arrogance. He looked like a playboy. If he were to inherit the throne in the future … the young girl really could not imagine what kind of situation it would be.
This thought only appeared in her mind for a moment, and she hurriedly left the kitchen.
Although she remembered everything that the scholar had said just now, it was hard to guarantee that she would not forget it in the future. It was better to find a piece of paper and write it down quickly.
Li Yi was hurriedly dragged out of the prince's mansion by the young prince who did not look like a young prince at all. Outside the Willow Leaf Village, the big man surnamed Fang walked into the village in a daze with a blank face. The few men behind him also looked worried.
On the other side of the village, the young servant girl was busy in the kitchen. She was humming a little song that the son-in-law taught her. It was unknown what she was thinking, but the corners of her mouth slightly curled up and her two black eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc.
"It is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the son-in-law comes back, it is time to make some mooncakes …" The young servant girl murmured. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard.
"The son-in-law is back!"
The young girl's face lit up with joy. She ran out of the kitchen with light steps, crossed the courtyard, and opened the door. When she saw the familiar face of Fang, the smile on her pretty face became even wider. "Uncle Fang, you are back!"
After looking around, she found that other than the big man surnamed Fang and the others, there was no sign of Li Yi. A trace of doubt appeared on the young girl's pretty face, and she asked, "Where is the son-in-law?"
Fang raised his head and looked at Xiao Huan with a complicated expression. After a long time, he opened his mouth with some difficulty.
"The son-in-law, the son-in-law is missing!"
"What?"
The young girl's delicate body shook when she heard this. After she recovered, her pretty face immediately became pale.
