One had to know, the South Courtyard was actually the best one after several main courtyards of the Pan family, usually even if entertaining general guests, one will not arrange to the South Courtyard. It's only when entertaining honourable guests, would they arrange to stay in the South Courtyard. None of them had expected that Pan Ning would arrange the South Courtyard for three children to live in. It was really surprising and also more curious, who were these three children?
Old Patriarch Pan glanced at Pan Ning, and with a light cough, he said, "Qiuyi, take the children to familiarise themselves with the manor's surroundings first, then see what you want to add, and arrange it for them."
"Yes." She answered and bowed before leading her son over and spoke in a gentle voice to the three children: "Follow , I'll show you the courtyard."
The three of them responded and bowed in a regular manner to the several people in the hall before following them out.
With their departure, only the Pan family father and son remained in the hall. Looking at the several people sitting there, Pan Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly, originally thinking that he would talk to them in detail in the backyard, but from the looks of it, they had a lot of things to ask him.
"Now, tell us properly! What's going on here?" Old Patriarch Pan lifted his teacup and took a sip of tea, then slowly said, "Don't think about weaving so story to hoodwink us, whether it's the truth or not, we'll know it as soon as we hear it."
Pan Ning helplessly smiled, stepped to the side and sat down, said: "Grandfather, where can I find the guts to deceive you! It's just that it's a long story."
"Then take your ti, we have ti today." His Father said, also picking up the tea, with the posture of being ready for a long chat.
Seeing this, Pan Ning let out a silent sigh and said, "I really don't know where to start."
Upon hearing this, Pan Hong then asked, "What are they? Where do you know them from?"
Pan Ning glanced at his elder brother, waved his hands, and laughed, "You may not believe when I say it, I really don't know what they are, but I can tell you about the latter question, I t them in Chess City."
However, as soon as the three old foxes heard his words, they discovered the problem. What he said ant that he only answered selectively. This was interesting, it seed that it wasn't that he didn't know what origins these three children had, he just didn't tell them.
The three of them looked at each other and averted their gazes in unison.
Pan Ning sipped his tea, but he didn't notice them exchanging glances.
"Where is their family? Why didn't they go ho? Instead, why did you, and why did you bring them ho instead? What is the reason for this?" Pan Hong asked again.
With Pan Hong asking, the two elders sipped their tea as well, treating it as if they were listening from the sidelines.
"They're looking for them as well, only, they were injured and hit their heads, and couldn't recall where their ho was." Pan Ning said, put the tea cup down, looked at the three of them, said, "The three children do not have elders and adults around them to follow and protect them, you have also seen that the three of them, just from their very appearance and temperant is not like the average family's children. Wherever they go, they will attract all kinds of unwarranted attention."
He paused for a mont, said, "In Chess City, the two little ones were targeted by human traffickers and were taken away, it was who helped to save them. Seeing that they also had nowhere to go, I thought of letting them co back with , anyway, our family can afford to raise the three of them. On one hand, they can be a companion for the children of the family, and on the other hand, we can gain so good karma."
