Chapter 319 Wei Qingwan is missing
"Mother shouldn't need to discuss this with me, right?" Wei Ruo said.
"I'm not discussing with you, but I hope you can do something for your elder brother." Yun said simply.
"What does mother mean, let me pay for elder brother to rent a house in the provincial capital?" Wei Ruo curled his lips into a smile.
"That's right." Yun said, "You don't have to feel bad, your grandparents gave you gifts, and your elder brother treated you well. No matter how you say this family has helped you, you should be more or less responsible for this." Do your best at home."
Immediately afterwards, Yun said: "If it weren't for the fact that the family doesn't have that much money now, I wouldn't tell you this. I promise you that when the money from Zhuangzi and the shop is recovered this year, I will return the money. for you."
This time, what Yun said was quite polite and truthful.
Wei Ruo thought for a moment and said: "Yes, I will pay the money, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?" Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruo, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes, subconsciously feeling that his daughter would make some excessive demands.
"When my mother goes to the provincial capital to rent a house, I will go with her." Wei Ruo said.
"Why?"
"I haven't been to the provincial capital yet, I want to visit the provincial capital."
"Do you have the time?"
"These days are beginning to be free."
The most difficult part of land reclamation and disaster relief is at the beginning. After everything is running normally, Wei Ruo's work will become easier.
After a busy month, Wei Ruo has successfully put the whole project into operation.
Thus, although she still leaves early and returns late in the past few days, she is more often busy with her own affairs than land reclamation and disaster relief.
Not telling the people in the Captain's Mansion is also for the convenience of their own actions.
"I have no objection, as long as you don't miss the business, you can go if you want." Yun said.
"Then two days later, I will go to the provincial capital with you."
"Okay." Yun agreed.
This is probably the most straightforward and smoothest talk between the mother and daughter.
There was no dispute or unnecessary pleasantries. The two of them seemed more like a deal than a daily conversation between mother and daughter.
###
Two days later, Wei Ruo packed his things and set off for the provincial capital with Yun.
All the food at home, Yun's, is temporarily handed over to Wei Qingwan. Her Wanwan has been helping her with family affairs for a long time and is very experienced, so she is not worried at all.
Wei Yichen has been at home these two days and doesn't know about the deal between Yun and Wei Ruo. He only knows that his mother took his eldest sister to the provincial capital to find him a place to live.
That night, Wei Qingwan did not return home by the time.
Wei Yichen was a little worried, so he ordered the young man to go to Tongzhifu.
However, when the boy came back, Wei Qingwan hadn't appeared yet.
The boy has asked the people in Tongzhifu. Today, as in the past, the ladies who attended classes in Tongzhifu all left on time, and Wei Qingwan was no exception.
This is strange, Wei Qingwan left Tongzhi's mansion on time, but did not return to Xiaowei's mansion on time.
"Let everyone who is free in the mansion go out to find Miss Second." Wei Yichen immediately ordered.
Then he went out to look for it himself with his entourage.
Due to the effectiveness of the land reclamation and disaster relief operations, the refugees and disaster victims in Fucheng are almost invisible now, and they are much safer than more than a month ago.
Wei Yichen searched around, but he didn't find Wei Qingwan himself, but he found Wei Qingwan's personal maid, Cuihe, and the carriage that Wei Qingwan usually rode in.
The carriage was parked in the alley, and Cui He stood timidly beside the carriage.
"Where's Wanwan?" Wei Yichen ran up to Cui He and asked.
"I...I..." Cui He shrank, afraid to look Wei Yichen in the face.
"Say!" Wei Yichen's voice was stern.
"I don't know...Eldest Young Master, I don't know where Miss has gone..." Cui He replied in fear.
"Didn't you follow Wanwan? Why don't you know where Wanwan has gone?"
"Second Miss would go to the shop over there every day to learn embroidery from the embroiderer. Every time it was only a stick of incense, but today I don't know why. After a long time, Miss didn't come out. I was anxious to go in. I asked, but the people in the store said they didn't know." Cui He stated the matter tremblingly.
When Wei Qingwan disappeared, Cui He was very scared. She didn't know what to do for a while, and dared not go back, for fear that Wei Qingwan would not find her when she turned around. Just waited by the side of the carriage until night.
"Which embroidery shop is it?" Wei Yichen asked, pointing to the shop.
Cui He nodded fiercely.
At this moment, the shop was closed, and Wei Yichen led the guards to forcefully break the door.
The shopkeeper in the store had a look of panic: "My lord, what happened?"
"My sister disappeared in your shop, why do you still ask me?"
"Please calm down, I really don't know where that young lady went."
"My sister learns embroidery from the embroiderer in your shop every day, don't you know?"
"I am wronged. A young master gave me money and rented a room behind my shop. The young lady goes to that room every day to see the young master. There is no such thing as a lady."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's nonsense! If you continue to insult my sister's reputation with nonsense, I will drag you to the court!" Wei Yichen was furious.
How could such an inconspicuous thing be something his younger sister Wanwan would do, the owner of this shop is simply crazy!
"I'm not talking nonsense! What I'm talking about is the truth! If you don't believe me, you can go to the nearby shops and inquire about it. My shop only sells finished products, and I haven't hired any embroiderers!" The shopkeeper shouted loudly.
"Stop talking about it, I won't believe anything you say! I just want you to hand over my sister!" Wei Yichen said angrily.
"I really don't know about that. Not long after the lady entered the room just now, there was a ping-pong-pong sound in the room. I felt something was wrong. When I went in with my buddy to check, there was no one inside. But the house is in a mess. If you don’t believe me, sir, I can show you right now, I haven’t had time to clean up the house yet!” explained the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was also very scared at the moment, and he didn't know what happened.
He originally thought that at most young men and women borrowed his place to express their feelings to each other, but he didn't know that such a thing could happen.
Wei Yichen pushed away the shopkeeper and led the people into the shop. The room was behind the shop.
After entering the door, the room was really messy. It looked like a fight had just happened, and the tables and chairs were overturned.
The window of the room was open, leading directly to the small alley outside. It looked like someone escaped through the window.
This made Wei Yichen's heart rise to his throat, and countless terrible thoughts flashed in his mind.
