"No, Clan Leader, please don't tell Prince An Yang. We... we really never thought about reclaiming those two children. Back then, we couldn't get enough to eat or wear, and we didn't have the time or ability to find those two children. Now we don't have the face to reclaim them again."
Daya's Father looked at the Old Patriarch, wanting to leave, and hurriedly stopped him back, speaking with a face full of pain.
But when these words reached the Old Patriarch's ears, they made him involuntarily frown.
What do you mean by not having the time or ability to look for them? He had already sent people to inquire household by household in the village; what does this have to do with searching? If the children were lost, they could just say they were theirs.
If not certain enough, they could first come and see if the children were really theirs.
