Chapter 1901: Chapter 1901: What Happened to the Pan Family

Shu Yu and the old lady looked straight at Third Lu, who was quite displeased as his chance to speak was interrupted by the three juniors.

Suddenly, upon hearing them express admiration for him, he tilted his chin up, looking very proud.

The old lady raised her hand and smacked him, “You unruly thing, it’s one thing for you to sneak around and do shady things, but now you’ve led Ah Rui and Erniu astray, and they’re scholars who will take exams for official titles. Don’t you have any regard for being an elder?”

Beside him, Dabao, who was eating, thought, “Thankfully, I never planned to pursue an official title, that was close.”

Third Lu hopped around to dodge, “What’s wrong with taking the exams? Yun is also a local scholar, and he often climbs the wall, why don’t you mention that?”

“Yun climbs the wall for legitimate reasons; you go to eavesdrop—is that the same?”

“I also go for legitimate reasons. If we don’t climb the wall, how would we know about the Pan Family’s plots? What if they have malicious plans? What if Aunt doesn’t get her six hundred taels back?”

When Third Lu argues, he always drags in whoever he can as a shield.

However, this time, the old lady really paused. Not to mention, this involved the six hundred taels of silver concerning her sister, which is indeed crucial.

She snorted coldly, sat on a bench, and said, “Alright, tell me then, what’s going on with the Pan Family?”

Third Lu, mumbling complaints, thought his mother grew more unreasonable with age. He just happened to be the liveliest and least liked. Whenever his mother was dissatisfied, she would scold him relentlessly. It was truly difficult for him.

Inside his mind, he placed a hand of tears on his heart, then sat as far from the old lady as possible, vividly recounting the Pan Family’s situation.

The Pan Family considered themselves rather unlucky, especially Eldest Pan, who had to clean up his sister and brother-in-law’s mess without knowing anything.

But he suspected his father should have known, and after asking in Father Pan’s room, he indeed received confirmation.

Eldest Pan immediately exploded; he was constantly overwhelmed by waves of pressure at the government office, always on the verge of an outburst, and upon returning home, had to deal with inquiries from other family members, only to find out his father had known all along but kept it a secret.

If only his father had told him before he went to the Office, he wouldn’t have been caught off guard. Knowing the truth, Eldest Pan could’ve found other ways to sever ties with the Chen Family to avoid their involvement.

He could also have timely stopped Chen He from saying he wasn’t Chen Bing’s son.

Now it was all over.

Eldest Pan was so angry he had a huge row with Father Pan, and Father Pan, not anticipating things would spiral out of control, felt unwell as soon as he heard about it and fainted after the argument.

The Pan Family was in complete chaos again.

If Eldest Pan was stressed, the other members of the Pan Family were even more anxious. Crowds of neighbors gathered at their door, and they didn’t dare step outside.

The old lady listened for a long time, frowning, “Why is it all about the Pan Family? What about Chen He and Chen Qiu, those siblings?”

“Chen Qiu returned to the Pan Family, but Chen He went missing initially and only came back late at night.”

Shu Yu suddenly spoke up, “I know where he went?”
