The maid said, "The young madam is pregnant. Perhaps she wants to stay in her family for a while."

Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but say, "What nonsense! Her body is more important when she is pregnant! What if something happens when she stays in her family for so long?"

After thinking about it, Old Mrs. Qiao said to the maid, "Call her and ask her to come back."

"Yes, Old Mrs. Qiao," The old maid called, but no one answered.

"Maybe the young madam is busy." The maid said.

Old Mrs. Qiao's face darkened, but at the thought of Fang Liyuan's pregnancy, she suppressed her anger.

The next day, Old Mrs. Qiao asked the maid if Fang Liyuan had called back.

"No." The maid said, "The young madam hadn't called back."

Old Mrs. Qiao was displeased.

She was already unhappy that Fang Liyuan had gone to her family for so many days and did not come back.

She was unhappier when she couldn't get through to Fang Liyuan yesterday.

And today, Fang Liyuan hadn't called back. Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't suppress her anger any more.

She said, "She should know that I called her, so how could she not call back? She is pregnant so she doesn't care about me?"

The maid did not expect Old Mrs. Qiao to be so angry.

She immediately said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, you think too much. The young madam respects you very much. We servants all know it. How could she not care about you?"

Only then did Old Mrs. Qiao's face soften a bit.

After thinking about it, she said, "Check her family's phone number. Call her family and ask her to pick up the phone."

There was another reason why Old Mrs. Qiao was so eager to reach Fang Liyuan.

That was, Fang Liyuan's delay in returning was really too odd.

Old Mrs. Qiao was worried that Fang Liyuan was in conflict with Qiao Yaozu.

If there was a conflict and Fang Liyuan had been angry, it wouldn't be good for the baby in her belly.

Old Mrs. Qiao thought she had to talk to Fang Liyuan as soon as possible to find out what was going on.

Soon, the maid came back.

The maid looked a bit uneasy. She looked at Old Mrs. Qiao and hesitated to say anything.

Old Mrs. Qiao was a bit anxious. She said, "I asked you to call her family, did you do so? What did Fang Liyuan say?"

"Old Mrs. Qiao," the maid stammered.

"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me!" Old Mrs. Qiao's voice raised all of a sudden.

Although Old Mrs. Qiao was old, her voice was still full of energy when she raised her voice.

The maid was shocked and said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, I called the young madam's family. She is not at her parents' home at all."

Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned at the words, "What did you say!"

The maid said, "The young madam's family said that she didn't go back during this period of time."

When Old Mrs. Qiao heard that, she immediately panicked.

How come Liyuan was not at her parents' home?

Could it be that something happened to her!

Old Mrs. Qiao immediately called Qiao Shaoting, and when the call was answered, she said in an urgent voice, "Shaoting, hurry up and find Liyuan! Liyuan has disappeared for days! She didn't go back to her family at all!"

Qiao Shaoting's head ached.

He had wanted to wait until Fang Liyuan gave birth to her baby and then told Old Mrs. Qiao, but he didn't expect Old Mrs. Qiao to know about it now.

It seemed that he couldn't hide it from her.

Qiao Shaoting said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, Fang Liyuan did not go back to her family. She is locked up by me."

Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned.
