40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

"Dad, Mom, Zi Yang, let's send someone to notify Xiao Qing and Xiao Rou to come for dinner! They are still children after all, and they should be hungry at this time." Liu Ruyan reminded.

“No need. They both have such bad tempers. Let them skip a meal so that they will remember their lesson. Besides, skipping a meal won’t kill them.” Wei Ziyang said angrily.

After hearing this, Liu Ruyan showed a worried look and wanted to persuade them again, but was stopped by Wei Ziyang, "Okay, I know what you mean, but they were both spoiled since childhood and may not appreciate your kindness. Don't bother them anymore. Come, try the cooking skills of the cooks at home. We spent a lot of effort to hire these cooks." As Wei Ziyang spoke, he had already picked up a few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs and put them in Liu Ruyan's bowl.

At the door of the living room, Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaorou both had hurt expressions on their faces. They had overheard the conversation just now. Wei Xiaorou wanted to rush in to find out clearly, but was stopped by Wei Xiaoqing. She pulled her sister away for a distance.

"Sister, why don't you let me in and ask clearly?" Xiaorou looked puzzled.

"Xiao Rou, calm down. If we go in, they will think we are being unreasonable. The most important thing for us now is to find mom first. Mom doesn't know that the mother and son have entered the house. Will she be sad? We have to find her quickly. Daddy is now fully focused on that bitch. He may not tell us even if we go over and ask him."

"Then where did mother go? Did something happen at home today? Could it be that mother knew that father was taking..." Wei Xiaorou made a bunch of guesses.

At this moment, Wei Xiaoqing saw the figure of the housekeeper not far away. Her eyes lit up and she pulled Wei Xiaorou to chase after him.

"Uncle housekeeper." Wei Xiaoqing pulled Wei Xiaorou and walked to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper stopped when he saw the two young ladies. He looked very respectful and asked, "What do you want, young ladies?"

Wei Xiaoqing's voice sounded anxiously and pleadingly, "Uncle housekeeper, do you know where mother is? Does mother know about the things at home? We are afraid that she will be sad. Can you tell us where mother is?"

The housekeeper hesitated when he heard Wei Xiaoqing's question, because the master and the mistress had told him not to say too much about what happened today, otherwise..."

"Uncle housekeeper, I'm so worried about my mother. Can you please tell me where she is?" Wei Xiaorou was very anxious. She looked at the housekeeper with tears in her eyes.

The butler had watched the two young ladies grow up since they were young. He couldn't bear to see them in this state. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and looked around. "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

The housekeeper took Wei Xiaoqing and her sister to a guest room, locked the door, and only spoke after making sure that there was no one else in the room.

"Miss Xiaoqing, Miss Xiaorou, the master has ordered that today's events must not be spread. I can tell you the position of the young mistress, but you must promise me that you will keep your composure and not act impulsively."

After hearing this, Wei Xiaoqing and her sister nodded quickly, "Uncle housekeeper, we promised you that we would not act rashly. The news about my mother was something we heard accidentally, and it has nothing to do with you."

The housekeeper took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "The young mistress was sent to the small courtyard outside the city by a carriage arranged by the young master today!"

"What? My mother is about to give birth, why send her away at this time, this... How could my father do this, my mother is his wife who was married in a formal ceremony, and she is the young lady of the Wei family, how dare he? My mother would never agree to live outside the city, was it caused by that bitch mother and son? Now that father has been bewitched, we absolutely cannot sit idly by, no, we can't let mother stay there, I want to tell grandpa about this, let grandpa..."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he showed a heavy expression. He listened to what Wei Xiaoqing said and interrupted quickly, "Miss Xiaoqing, I don't know if the young lady knows about those two people. You...something happened to the Fang family. I heard that the whole family fled. This morning, a servant from the Fang family sent from Shanghai came to look for the young lady. When the young lady heard the news, she fainted on the spot, so..."

"Uncle housekeeper, you mean to say that my mother has fainted? Wuuuu, I want to go find my mother." When Wei Xiaorou heard this, tears started to fall. She could no longer stay and immediately shouted to find Fang Wenjuan.

The housekeeper immediately became anxious when he saw this, "Oh, Miss Xiaorou, please keep your voice down, don't attract anyone here."

Fang Xiaoqing had already grabbed Fang Xiaorou with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, "Xiaorou, calm down, don't make a big deal out of this, or we won't be able to go find mother!"

"Ms. Xiaoqing is right. Besides, it's getting late now and there's going to be curfew outside. You can't go out."

Wei Xiaorou stopped struggling only after she heard what the housekeeper and her sister said.

The housekeeper and Fang Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fang Xiaorou calm down.

"My two young ladies, your mother is still the young lady of the Wei family. She will not be in danger. Please do not act rashly, otherwise you will make the young lady worry."

Wei Xiaoqing heard this and nodded to the housekeeper, "Uncle housekeeper, I understand. I will take good care of my sister."

After hearing this, the housekeeper talked to the two sisters for a while before turning around and leaving.

"Sister, are we just going to ignore mother?" Wei Xiaorou asked sobbingly.

"Who said we don't care? But we can't leave now. We'll talk about everything tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, after we go to school, we'll quietly leave the city and look for mother."

After hearing this, Wei Xiaorou quickly nodded in agreement.

Wei Xiaoqing thought for a while and said, "Xiao Rou, you have to listen to me from now on. Don't act rashly and don't let others know our plan, otherwise we won't be able to go out of town to find mother. Come, follow me and have dinner first. Eat a full meal so that you will have the strength to look for mother tomorrow." Wei Xiaoqing said and pulled Wei Xiaorou towards the restaurant.

Wei Xiaoqing didn't care about the warm scene in the restaurant. She pulled Wei Xiaorou in directly and took her sister to their seats and sat down.

"Grandpa, grandma, daddy, why didn't you let anyone come and call us when you were having dinner?" Wei Xiaoqing said, glancing at the seat that belonged to her mother Fang Wenjuan, where Liu Ruyan was sitting.

"Yes, Xiaorou is hungry!" Wei Xiaorou said while rubbing her stomach.

What the two sisters said made everyone else present freeze.

Wei Xiaoqing seemed not to notice their abnormality and gestured to the servant beside her.

The servants glanced at the old man sitting in the main seat and turned to prepare bowls and chopsticks for the two young ladies.
