When he regained consciousness a little, he felt that his whole head was swollen. He tried hard for a long time, but he couldn't open his eyes. He could only hear a few intermittent voices around him.
"Wangfei actually ate something in the morning."
"She also specially drank a small bowl of yam and corn porridge."
"Wangye was very happy. He increased everyone's allowance in the kitchen!"
…
…
When he finally opened his eyes, he felt that his mouth was unusually bitter and thirsty. At this time, a clear voice sounded not far away. "Young master is awake!"
A hot towel was handed over. Li Yi carelessly wiped his face. He looked at the two maids standing in the room and said in a hoarse voice, "Water …"
A moment later, he took the teacup from the maid's hand and drank it in one gulp. He still didn't feel thirsty. After drinking a few cups, the feeling of thirst subsided a lot.
At this time, a maid came over with a tray covered with a red cloth. She said with a smile, "Young master, this is a thank you gift that Wangye asked me to prepare for you. Please accept it."
"Thank you gift? What is it …" Li Yi had just woken up and his mind was not very clear. He casually removed the red cloth and was almost dazzled by the neat silver ingots on the tray.
"Thank Wangye for me!"
Li Yi took the tray from the maid's hand with a face full of smiles. The trace of drowsiness was immediately swept away and he looked much more energetic.
The maid was stunned when she heard this. It seemed that she didn't think that Li Yi would agree so readily.
Just now, Wangye specifically told her that if the other party insisted on not accepting it, she must persuade him to accept it. For this, she had made a little preparation in her heart.
But the real situation made her a little dazed.
Didn't they say that scholars regarded money as dirt … This young master didn't seem to be like this …
…
…
Li Yi carried a small bag on his back and walked out of Ning Wang Fu. He waved to the woman called Yanzhi behind him and strode away.
Last night, he drank a mouthful of wine and was drunk on the table. It was so shameful. He did not wait for the young prince to wake up and could not wait to leave the prince's mansion.
There was a total of 110 taels of silver in the small bag he was carrying on his back. Although it was only about 50,000 RMB, this was indeed the first large sum of money that Li Yi had received since he came to this era.
The son of a nouveau riche must have a nouveau riche father.
Li Yi liked this kind of forthright prince. It was too troublesome to talk about feelings. It was better to directly talk about money.
His wallet was bulging, and even his heart was filled.
He just didn't know how anxious Fang and the others would be when they didn't see him yesterday.
It was better to return to the stronghold as soon as possible.
…
…
In the Willow Leaf Stockade, the little servant girl sat in front of the door. Her eyes were red and swollen. Her beautiful big eyes had lost their spirit. She had two dark circles under her eyes and stared straight ahead.
Not long after, a sturdy figure walked over from afar. The man surnamed Fang held a cloth bag in his hand. He walked in front of the servant girl, sighed, and said, "Xiao Huan, this is the money from yesterday's candied haws. Take it back and keep it well."
The young girl did not speak. She bit her lips and shook her head.
"The idea was given by the son-in-law, and the frosting was also bought by the son-in-law. We only put in a little effort. This money is not safe in our hands. You … better keep it."
Fang put the cloth bag at the feet of the young girl. In the end, he did not say anything and turned to leave slowly.
The young girl quietly sat in the familiar position. It seemed that there was still a figure beside her. Just like before, he told her those nice stories and taught her how to cook delicious food … That was almost the best time of her life.
Thinking that the figure would never appear again, the young girl's nose could not help but feel a little sour. She forced herself not to let the tears fall.
After all, she was only a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. After an unknown amount of time, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled. She buried her little head between her legs and sobbed.
"Xiao Huan, why are you crying? Who made you angry?"
A voice suddenly came from the front. The young girl's body could not help but tremble. She suddenly raised her head and saw a familiar face that could not be more familiar.
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the young girl's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.
From yesterday until now, this scene had appeared countless times. From the surprise at the beginning to the numbness at the end, she knew that no matter how real an illusion was, it was still an illusion.
Looking at the young servant girl's tearful face, Li Yi's heart could not help but ache. He quickly walked over and wiped the tears off her face. He softly said, "Tell me, who bullied you? The son-in-law will help you vent your anger!"
The young girl stared blankly at Li Yi helping her wipe away her tears. The real touch on her face made her realize that this was not an illusion.
"Son-in-law!"
In her beautiful big eyes, tears flowed out. In an instant, Li Yi felt that there was an additional delicate body in his arms.
The usually shy servant girl would never do something like this. At this moment, she was like a pear blossom in tears. She seemed to be using all her strength to hold onto his body, causing Li Yi to be a little confused.
At this moment, the courtyard door opened from the inside. Li Yi saw Liu Ruyi's figure appear. He pointed at the crying young servant girl and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Huan?"
Liu Ruyi stood at the door with his sword in his arms. He just looked at Li Yi. Although there was nothing strange on the surface, he seemed to have suddenly relaxed.
The appearance of Liu Ruyi made Xiao Huan stop sobbing. She lowered her head and stood beside Li Yi with a blushing face. She tightly held onto the corner of his clothes, unwilling to let go.
"Son-in-law!"
Fang's loud voice came from behind. Anyone could hear the boundless surprise in his voice.
"Son-in-law, you're back!"
Seeing that Fang, who was so excited that he looked like he had married a few concubines, was about to give him a big bear hug, Li Yi immediately retreated far away with vigilance.
He had just enjoyed Xiao Huan's soft and soft embrace. He was unwilling to let Fang touch him no matter what.
Fang was not angry that he did not get a bear hug. He looked at Li Yi and asked with a puzzled face, "Son-in-law, where did you go last night?"
"Last night …" Li Yi said halfway before he realized that if he said that he went to the brothel to listen to music last night, it would be a little inappropriate. He changed the topic and said, "Last night … Last night, I got lost in the city. I couldn't find you, so I stayed in the inn for the night and came back at dawn."
From last night until today, Fang had always thought that if it were not for him, he would not have lost his son-in-law. He was deeply immersed in the torment in his heart and did not sleep for the whole night. It was only when he saw Li Yi today that all his self-blame and regret were swept away. He felt that his life was suddenly filled with light again.
Li Yi took down the bundle on his shoulder and handed it to Xiao Huan. He instructed, "Take this back and put it in my cabinet."
Xiao Huan stretched out her hand to take it, but she did not expect the small bundle to be much heavier than she had imagined. The bundle accidentally fell from her hand and fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
The bundle opened up, and a pile of silver ingots rolled out. Under the sunlight, they almost dazzled Fang's eyes.
Xiao Huan covered her mouth in shock. Her pretty face was filled with disbelief.
Liu Ruyi could not help but tighten his grip on his sword. His expression changed.
Not far away, Madam Wu walked out of the house. She had just poured out a basin of dirty water when she suddenly felt that the ground not far away from her was a little dazzling. She could not help but turn her head to look …
Clang!
The copper basin in her hand fell to the ground with a clear sound.
