Chapter 2201 Your mother is gone?

After the wealthy merchant had finished arranging his child's funeral and punished his two concubines, he finally thought of Lady Wei.

After all, it was a child that Wei had "brought" for him. Now that the child had suddenly run into trouble, the wealthy businessman suspected that something had happened to Wei.

He rarely stepped into the courtyard where Wei lived. The few times he spoke to Wei before, he had to ask her to come over.

This was a rare visit to that courtyard, and it was the first time I had ever seen what it looked like.

Who would have thought that in such a magnificent mansion, there was such a poor house with a drafty roof and no bed frame? The whole courtyard was empty, with almost nothing of value except for a thin quilt and a few sets of clothes.

The only thing that gave it a touch of color was the vegetables growing in the yard.

Only then did the wealthy merchant realize that the two old women who served Madam Wei had already taken and sold everything that was supposed to be in the courtyard. As for the bed frame in the house, Madam Wei had chopped it down to use as fuel during the cold winter.

The wealthy businessman was furious. He certainly didn't take the Wei family seriously, but this decoration was useful. If they couldn't even provide enough food and clothing, no wonder his son would get into trouble.

What infuriated him even more was that Wei had disappeared!

When the two old women who served Wei were questioned, it was discovered that they had neglected their duties and had not reported to the courtyard for three days.

Therefore, they had no idea when or how Wei disappeared.

The wealthy businessman nearly coughed up blood and immediately sent people to search for him.

The first family they went to was the Wei family, but the Wei family members themselves were still confused. When they heard that Wei had escaped, they turned pale with fright.

The wealthy merchant began searching the entire city for the person, but unfortunately, after searching for more than half a year, he still couldn't find him.

Following the second half of last year, the wealthy businessmen suddenly encountered one misfortune after another. Their businesses suffered from poor performance and mismanagement, leading them to sell off their assets and gradually decline.

The wealthy merchant increasingly felt that his family's current state was due to the disappearance of the Wei family.

After dealing with the two incompetent old women, he became even more eager to find Madam Wei.

Unfortunately, the wealthy businessman had lost his ability to find help; with less and less money in his hands, he naturally found it increasingly difficult to find someone.

Moreover, the wealthy businessman could no longer suppress the Wei family.

Only then did the Wei family find an opportunity to escape back to the capital.

"That's how it is. I've told you everything I need to. We're in a terrible situation too. When we left the capital, we sold our house, and when we came back, we had nowhere to live and no money. My mother died on the way. That's why I couldn't think straight and decided to target Gouwa."

Aunt Hong was stunned. "Your mother is gone?"

"Hmm," Wei Tang said in a low voice, "We walked back to the capital, which took several months. My mother's health wasn't good before, and she almost had a stroke from the stress. She fell ill on the way and passed away."

What should Aunt Hong say? She wanted to say that she deserved it.

If they hadn't been so greedy and insisted on leaving the capital, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

"So you really don't know where Gouwa's mother is now?"

Wei Tang raised his head, "I really don't know. If I had known, I would have..." found the person and asked for some benefits.

He didn't dare say the last part. He looked at Shu Yu and said, "Miss, I've told you everything. Please give me the antidote quickly. It'll be almost an hour. If you don't give it to me soon, even if I die, the authorities won't let you off the hook for murder, right?"
