Chapter 319 Wei Qingwan is missing.
"Mother shouldn't need to discuss this with me, right?" Wei Ruodao.
"I'm not negotiating with you, but I hope you can do something for your brother." Yun said simply.
"What does mother mean, let me pay for my eldest brother to rent a house in the provincial capital?" Wei Ruo raised his lips and showed a smile.
"That's right." Mrs. Yun said, "You don't have to feel that you are at a loss. Your grandparents have given you many gifts, and your eldest brother has treated you well. This family has helped you in any way, and you should do something for it." Do your best."
Then Yun said: "If it weren't for the fact that my family really doesn't have that much money now, I wouldn't have said this to you. I promise you, when the money from Zhuangzi and the shop is recovered this year, I will I will return this money to you."
This time Yun said it in a polite and honest manner.
Wei Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll pay for the money, but I have a condition." "
What condition?" Yun looked at Wei Ruo, a bit of vigilance flashed in her eyes, subconsciously feeling that her daughter would propose What an excessive request.
"When mother goes to the provincial capital to rent a house, I want to go with her," Wei Ruodao said.
"Why?"
"I haven't been to the provincial capital yet, and I want to visit it." "Do
you have the time?"
"I'm starting to have less time these days."
The hardest part of land reclamation and disaster relief is at the beginning, waiting. After everything was running normally, Wei Ruo's work became easier.
After this month of busy work, Wei Ruo has successfully put the entire project into operation.
Therefore, although she still leaves early and comes home late these days, she is more busy with her own affairs rather than land reclamation and disaster relief.
Not telling the people in Xiaowei Mansion was also to facilitate his own actions.
"I have no objection. As long as you don't miss the main business, you can go if you want." Yun said.
"Then in two days, I will go with you to the provincial capital."
"Okay." Yun agreed.
This was probably the most straightforward and smoothest conversation the mother and daughter had ever had.
There was no argument or unnecessary pleasantries. It was more like the two of them had negotiated a deal than a daily conversation between mother and daughter.
###
Two days later, Wei Ruo packed up his things and set off for the provincial capital with Yunshi.
Yun's food at home was temporarily given to Wei Qingwan. Her Wanwan had been helping her handle family affairs for a long time and was very experienced, so she was not worried at all.
Wei Yichen has been at home these two days and does not know about the transaction between Yun and Wei Ruo. He only knows that his mother took his eldest sister to the provincial capital to find a place for him.
That night, Wei Qingwan did not return home until the time came.
Wei Yichen was a little worried, so he ordered his servant to go to the magistrate.
However, when the boy came back, Wei Qingwan had not yet appeared.
The boy asked the people in Tongzhifu. Today, just like every other day, all the ladies who were attending class in Tongzhifu left on time, and Wei Qingwan was no exception.
This is strange. Wei Qingwan left Tongzhifu on time, but did not return to Xiaowei's mansion on time.
And it was already dark now. Based on Wei Yichen's understanding of his sister, it was impossible for her to stay up all night.
"Let everyone who is free in the house go out to find the second lady." Wei Yichen immediately ordered. Then he and his entourage went out to search for him personally.
Due to the effectiveness of the land reclamation and disaster relief operations, there are almost no refugees in the city now, and it is much safer than more than a month ago.
Wei Yichen searched around but did not find Wei Qingwan himself, but found Wei Qingwan's personal maid Cui He and the carriage that Wei Qingwan usually rode in.
The carriage stopped in the alley, and Cui He stood timidly beside the carriage.
"Where is Wanwan?" Wei Yichen ran to Cuihe and asked.
"I...I..." Cuihe shrank, too afraid to look at Wei Yichen.
"Say!" Wei Yichen's voice was stern.
"I don't know... Young Master, I don't know where the lady has gone..." Cui He replied fearfully.
"Didn't you follow Wanwan? Why don't you know where Wanwan has gone?"
"Second Miss goes to the shop over there every day to learn embroidery from the embroiderer there. Each time it only takes one stick of incense. But today I don’t know why, but the lady didn’t come out after a long time. I waited anxiously so I went in to ask, but the people in the store said they didn’t know.” Cui He tremblingly stated the matter.
Wei Qingwan disappeared, and Cui He was very scared. She didn't know what to do for a while, and didn't dare to go back, fearing that Wei Qingwan wouldn't find her when she turned around. So I waited beside the carriage all night.
"That embroidery shop?" Wei Yichen asked, pointing to the shop.
Cuihe nodded sharply.
The shop was closed at this moment, and Wei Yichen and his guards forced the door open.
The shopkeeper in the store looked horrified: "Master, what happened?"
"My sister disappeared in your store, what are you asking me about?"
"Sir, please stop being angry, I really don't know who Where did the lady go?"
"My sister learns embroidery from the embroiderer in your shop every day. Don't you know?" "I am
wronged. A young man gave me money and rented a room behind my shop. That young lady goes to that room every day to meet the young master, but there is no embroiderer." "
What are you talking about? What nonsense! If you continue to talk nonsense about my sister's reputation, I will drag you to see the official. !" Wei Yichen was furious.
How could such an outlandish thing be something that his sister Wanwan would do? The owner of this shop is simply crazy!
"I'm not talking nonsense! What I'm telling you is the truth! If you don't believe me, you can go to the surrounding shops and ask around. What I sell in this shop are all finished products, and I have never hired any embroiderers!" The shopkeeper shouted that he was wronged.
"Stop saying this, I won't believe anything you say! All I want now is that you hand over my sister!" Wei Yichen said angrily.
"I really don't know about this. Not long after the lady entered the room just now, there was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in the room. I felt something was wrong. When I went in with the guy to take a look, there was no one inside. But the house is in a mess. If you don't believe it, I can take you to see it now. I haven't had time to clean up the house yet!" the shopkeeper explained.
The shopkeeper was also very scared at this moment, and he didn't know what was happening.
He originally thought that at most young men and women would borrow his place to express their feelings to each other, but he never knew that such a thing could happen.
Wei Yichen pushed aside the shopkeeper and led people into the store. The room was at the back of the store.
After entering the door, the room was indeed very messy. It looked like a fight had just occurred, and the tables and chairs had been overturned.
The window of the room was open, leading directly to the alley outside. It looked like someone had escaped through the window.
This made Wei Yichen's heart suddenly rise to his throat, and countless terrifying thoughts flashed through his mind.
