Chapter 319 – Wei Qingwan’s Disappearance

“Mother should not need to discuss this matter with me, right?” Wei Ruo said.

“I’m not consulting with you, but I want you to do something for your big brother.” Yun said dryly.

“What mother means is that she wants me to pay for big brother to rent a house in the provincial city?” Wei Ruo hooked her lips into a small smile.

“That’s right.” Yun said, “You don’t have to feel shortchanged, your grandparents didn’t give you few gifts, your elder brother treats you not too thinly, this family is given to you to help you anyhow, you should more or less contribute to this family.”

Immediately after Yun added: “If it were not for the fact that the family really doesn’t have that much silver today, I wouldn’t have to open this mouth with you, I promise you that when the silver from this year’s manor and store is recovered, I will return this silver to you.”

This time Yun was quite polite and truthful in what he said.

Wei Ruo thought for a moment and then said, “Yes, I’ll pay for this silver, but I have one condition.”

“What conditions?” Yun looked at Wei Ruo, a few moments of caution flashing in her eyes, subconsciously feeling that her daughter would make some excessive demands.

“When mother goes to the provincial city to rent a mansion I’m going to go along.” Wei Ruo said.

“Why?”

“I have never been to the province and would like to visit it.”

“Do you have the time?”

“It’s starting to get free these days.”

The hardest part of opening up the land for disaster relief is at the beginning, and when everything is running normally, Wei Ruo’s work will be easier.

And after this busy month, Wei Ruo had managed to get the whole project up and running.

Therefore, although she still left early and returned late these days, she was more often busy with her own affairs rather than the matter of opening up the land for disaster relief.

Not telling the school captain’s office was also to facilitate his actions.

“I have no objections, as long as you don’t miss business, you can go if you want.” Yun said.

“Then in two days I will go with you to the province.”

“Good.” Yun agreed.

It was probably the driest and smoothest conversation the mother-daughter duo had ever had.

There was no starting an argument or unnecessary pleasantries; it was more like the two had negotiated a deal than an everyday conversation between mother and daughter.

###

Two days later, Wei Ruo packed up her things and set off for the provincial capital together with Yun.

The food in the house Yun are temporarily handed over to Wei Qingwan, her Wan Wan help her deal with the affairs of the house for a long time, very experienced, so she is not worried in the slightest.

Wei Yi Chen had been at home for the past two days and did not know about the deal between Yun and Wei Ruo, only that his mother had taken his eldest sister along to the provincial capital to find him a place to live.

That night, Wei Qingwan did not return home by the time.

Wei Yi Chen was a little worried, so he ordered the boy to run to the same governor’s residence.

However, when the boy returned, Wei Qingwan had not yet appeared.

The boy asked the people in the Tongzhi Mansion, and today, as in the past, the several young ladies taking classes in the Tongzhi Mansion all left on time, and Wei Qingwan was no exception.

This was strange, Wei Qingwan left the Tong Zhi Mansion on time, but did not return to the School Captain’s Mansion on time.

And now that it was dark, with Wei Yi Chen’s knowledge of his sister, it was impossible for her to stay out at night.

“Have everyone who is free in the mansion go out and look for Second Miss.” Wei Yi Chen immediately ordered.

He then went out himself with his entourage to look for it himself.

Due to the effectiveness of the opening and relief operation, the stray victims in the Prefecture are now almost unseen, and it is a lot safer than it was more than a month ago.

Wei Yi Chen searched around and didn’t find Wei Qing Wan herself, but found Wei Qing Wan’s personal maid Cui He as well as the carriage that Wei Qing Wan usually rode in.

The carriage pulled up in the alley, and Cui Huo stood timidly by the side of it.

“Where’s Wanwan?” Wei Yi Chen ran to Cui He and questioned.

“I …… I ……” Cui He shrank back, too scared to look at Wei Yi Chen squarely.

“Speak!” Wei Yichen’s voice was stern.

“I don’t know …… Da shaoshi, I don’t know where Miss went ……” Cui He replied fearfully.

“Aren’t you following Wanwan? Why wouldn’t you know where Wanwan went?”

“The second young miss will go to the store over there every day to learn embroidery from the embroiderer inside, each time but one incense stick of time, but today I don’t know why, after a long time young miss didn’t come out, I waited anxiously and went in to inquire about it, and the people in the store said they didn’t know.” Cui He tremblingly stated the matter once again.

Wei Qingwan disappeared, Cui He was very afraid, for a moment did not know what to do, did not dare to go back, afraid to turn back Wei Qingwan can not find themselves. Just so wait by the carriage until the evening.

“Is that the embroidery store?” Wei Yi Chen asked, pointing at the store.

Tui Ho nodded vigorously.

The store was closed at the moment, and Wei Yichen brought his guards to forcefully break down the door.

The shopkeeper’s face was terrified, “This master, what’s going on here?”

“My sister is missing from your store and you’re asking me what’s going on?”

“Master rest your anger, I really don’t know where that young lady has gone.”

“My sister learns embroidery daily from the embroiderer in your store, you would not know?”

“Master wronged ah, is a gentleman gave me silver, rented me this store back of a room, that young lady daily to go to that room with that gentleman want to see, and there is no embroiderer.”

“What are you babbling about? It’s all nonsense! If you keep talking nonsense about my sister’s honor, I’ll drag you to the court!” Wei Yi Chen was furious.

How could something so out of tune be something that his sister Wan Wan would do, the owner of this store was simply crazy!

“I’m not talking nonsense! I’m telling the truth! If you don’t believe me, you can go to the surrounding stores and ask around, I sell finished products in this store, I have never hired any embroiderers!” The shopkeeper cried out for justice.

“Don’t you say any of that, I won’t believe anything you say! I only need you to hand over my sister now!” Wei Yi Chen said angrily.

“This I really do not know, just now that young lady into that room not long after the room came out banging sound, I think not right, and fellows together to go in to see when, inside there is no one, but the house inside the mess into a mess. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see it, I haven’t had time to clean up that room yet!” The shopkeeper explained.

The shopkeeper was also scared at this moment, and he didn’t know what was happening.

He had thought that at most it would be a young man and woman who had borrowed his place to tell each other their feelings, how could he have known that he could still be involved in this kind of thing.

Wei Yi Chen pushed the shopkeeper away and led the people into the store, which was located at the back of the store.

Upon entering, the house was indeed very messy, and it looked like a fight had just taken place, with tables and chairs overturned.

The window of the room was open to the alley outside, and it looked like someone had escaped through it.

This caused Wei Yichen’s heart to rise up into his throat, and countless terrifying thoughts flashed through his mind.
