Even though they stood at the side and stared at the paper word by word, they saw that the paper was filled with the name of the medicine and the amount used. They felt a headache reading it. There were no other words that carried hidden meanings, so naturally, no one doubted it.
One of them took the prescription, folded it roughly, and stuffed it into Da Yong’s arms.
The man then instructed Zhen Dalang to tie Da Yong up and only let Da Yong go back tomorrow noon. Otherwise, they would come back and kill his entire family.
Zhen Dalang was so scared that he immediately agreed. Then, he cried and bowed to Doctor Shen.
Doctor Shen only sighed and followed the three people.
Da Yong woke up at night, but Zhen Dalang was afraid of sending him back immediately. He waited until noon the next day before he dared to let Da Yong go back.
He even went to the Shen residence with Da Yong to beg for forgiveness and while crying, he kept kowtowing to Doctor Shen’s wife.
Madam. Shen was getting on in years. She usually did not get agitated and had always been calm and steady.
Her husband, who had accompanied her for most of her life, was suddenly taken away. Da Yong didn’t go with him either. She did not know where he had been taken to and when he would return. She did not know who had taken her husband away. She couldn’t take the pressure anymore and fainted.
Usually, Shengming Academy would have a two-day break, so Shen Yuxuan was still at home.
Shen Yuxuan had always been a crybaby. He would cry non-stop if he felt a little uncomfortable. Now that his father had disappeared, he cried non-stop.
His father said that he was going to treat someone and that he should be fine. Those three people did not seem to be bad. However, they would be worried.
Now that his mother had fainted again, he cried uncontrollably as he hurriedly checked his mother’s pulse. Seeing that his mother was anxious, worried, and afraid of being agitated, but was not seriously injured, he cried and asked the servant girls to send his mother back to her room.
Then, he rushed to Locust Village with the prescription his father had given him.
He wanted to tell Xue Yan what happened.
His father had gone missing. Xue Yan was the Crown Prince, so he would be able to help him find him. Besides, his father did something very strange. There were two more herbs written on the prescription that were not part of his mother’s treatment. He couldn’t understand it, but Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were smart. They should be able to understand it. He wanted to ask them what it meant.
“Yes, Your Highness. I will take my leave.”
Lizheng bowed and lowered his voice as he retreated from the old house with great respect.
He had no choice but to be here.
There was a good harvest in the barren land. As long as the seeds were bought from the seed shop in town, they were bountiful. The news had already spread like wildfire. The villagers all chose to keep their barren land. They all asked the village chief of their respective village to find the Xue family. They said that they wanted to keep the land for their families to grow and would not sell them again.
He was the one who had proposed the idea of clearing the land, and Xue Dafu, the Marquis of Changle, had agreed to it. At that time, he still didn’t know that Xue Yan was His Highness the Crown Prince. Even so, his people came first. Therefore, he came all the way here to tell them the news.
Although the other villagers didn’t know about Xue Yan being the Crown Prince and Xue Dafu being the Marquis of Changle, they knew that Xue Sanfu was a commander. They felt that he was a high-ranking official and were afraid that he would do something to ruin their lives. In any case, they didn’t dare to tell Xue Dafu about this and begged him, the chief, to say it.
He also knew that Xue Yan was His Highness the Crown Prince, so he didn’t dare to cut straight to the point as well. However, he also couldn’t pretend that this matter didn’t exist, so he could only brace himself for what was to come.
However, he didn’t go directly to find Xue Dafu. Instead, secretly reported to Xue Yan about the news first.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince didn’t blame him at all and even told him to go ahead with opening up more barren land to use.
