Guan Xilin stood in front of a house, looking at the plaque in front of the door with the words "Pan Mansion" written on it. After a pause, he walked forward and knocked on the door.
The housekeeper came to open the door and saw a man he had never seen before. He half-closed the door on one side and looked at the man with some vigilance: "Who are you looking for?" In fact, the man in front of him had a beard that half covered his face, and he had a strong build and a scary aura.
"I'm looking for the second young master Pan Ning in your family." Guan Xilin said as he touched the beard growing on his chin. In fact, he hadn't shaved for only ten days or half a month. Was that scary enough
"May I know who you are?" the butler asked again.
"Just tell your second young master that I am the uncle of those three children and I am here to inquire about them." Guan Xilin said in a calm voice.
Hearing this, the butler was startled and said, "Please sit down for a moment, sir." After saying that, he closed the door and hurried in to report.
Pan Ning was talking to his eldest brother when he heard the housekeeper come in hurriedly: "Master, Second Master, there is a burly man outside. He said he is Master Hao's uncle and came to inquire about the news."
Hearing this, the two people in the courtyard were slightly surprised. Pan Ning frowned and said, "Could it be a liar?"
Pan Hong, who was sitting next to him, said, "Let's go and take a look! We'll know if he's a liar or not once we ask him." Then he said to the housekeeper, "Please ask him to go to the front hall. We'll be there in a moment."
"Yes." The butler responded and then walked out.
"Let's go!" Pan Hong gestured and pushed the wheelchair to the front yard.
Seeing this, Pan Ning followed. When the two of them arrived at the front hall, there was already a man sitting there drinking tea. When he saw them come in, his gaze fell on them. When that man's gaze fell on the two of them, they were startled, looked at each other, and perked up.
Although he hadn't spoken a word, his aura was already revealed. His gaze was full of majesty and oppression, which was definitely not what a liar would have.
"My name is Pan Ning, and this is my brother Pan Hong. May I know who you are?" Pan Ning asked after bowing.
"Guan Xilin."
He spoke in a calm voice, his eyes swept across Pan Hong's legs without leaving a trace, and then set his sights on Pan Ning, saying: "I heard that there were three children living here some time ago?"
"Yes, he is a distant relative of my family." Pan Ning said, his eyes fell on Guan Xilin, and he looked at him secretly.
Pan Hong next to him just looked at Guan Xilin without saying anything.
Although this man had a beard on his chin that half covered his face, one could still tell that his facial features were very fine. However, when he said that he was the uncle of Hao'er and the other two, no one believed him at all, which made him somewhat suspicious.
Hearing him say that the three children were their distant relatives, Guan Xilin didn't say anything, but just asked: "Is the older one around ten years old? The two younger ones are three or four years old? And they are twins, and they look exactly the same and very delicate?"
"Yes." Pan Ning replied. This was not a secret. They had gone out with several children, and many people in the city had seen their appearance.
