You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

After Su Wanning said this, the sisters-in-law around her took a step back.

The one who spoke just now was the aunt who tried to ask, "What did you do wrong?"

"This is the former great general Zhan Beiwang, and I... am his newly married wife. You may have heard that I was exiled because my achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor. But we are not criminals. We were exiled as commoners." Su Wanning explained.

The aunt in front of her had obviously heard of Zhan Beiwang's name, "Are you really the God of War?"

Zhan Beiwang took out the household registration from his arms and handed it to the aunt, "This is my household registration."

The aunt took it, took a look at it, and then handed it back to Zhan Beiwang. She looked at the two of them with a serious face and said, "Come with me."

Su Wanning and the other person looked at each other and followed him to a house in the center of the village.

"Old Lu, someone wants to settle down in our village." The aunt shouted into the yard.

The people in the yard heard the sound and came out, "Cuizhi, what did you say?"

Li Cuizhi gestured to Lu Anqing to look at Su Wanning and the other person, "They are planning to settle down in the village."

"If you want to settle down, just go to the government office to get a certificate." Lu Anqing said frankly.

"We are exiles." Zhan Beiwang said as he handed the household registration in his hand to Lu Anqing.

Lu Anqing took it and took a look at it, then looked up at Zhan Beiwang in surprise, "Zhan Beiwang? Are you the former general?"

Zhan Beiwang nodded, "Yes."

Lu Anqing showed a conflicted look on his face as he led the two into the courtyard. After Li Cuizhi closed the courtyard door, he spoke solemnly, "You can settle down in our village, but you also need to take care of some things. Don't let your own affairs involve our entire village."

Zhan Beiwang nodded, "Of course, I will take care of those."

"That's the best. You should also know that the arable land in our village cannot grow crops." After saying this, Lu Qing'an looked at the reactions of the two people, and he must have understood this point.

"Is there any residential land in the village? We want to buy it and build a house." Su Wanning asked.

Lu Qingan looked at Li Cuizhi who was standing beside him and said, "Cuizhi, just bring the two of them here to see them. Don't worry about the villagers. These two are not the worst criminals."

Li Cuizhi took the two of them out and strolled around the village.

The first few we saw were old houses in the village. They needed to be demolished and rebuilt. There were also a few at the head and end of the village.

After looking at everything, Su Wanning originally wanted to choose a location at the entrance of the village. After all, it was next to the road and convenient for going out, but the place was too small.

Finally, she chose a residential plot at the end of the village. The place was large enough, and there was about an acre of arable land at the back. Although she couldn't grow anything now, she could use this acre of arable land for experiments.

"Aunt, I want to buy it together with the one acre of farmland at the back." Su Wanning looked at Li Cuizhi.

"Girl, why do you want to buy arable land? You can't grow anything on that land." Li Cuizhi advised.

"I want to give it a try. If I really can't grow any crops, I'll buy some chickens and ducks." Su Wanning replied with a smile. She also knew that Li Cuizhi meant well.

"Okay, since you have made your choice, let's go. I will take you back to register. You can go to the government office to transfer the ownership while there is still time." Li Cuizhi said.

The transaction was completed quickly and he returned to Muchao City with the land deed.

I went to the inn to book a room first, and then went to the government office while there was still time.

The official from the government office, holding their household registration, looked up at them again when he heard they were going to settle in Muxi Village. "Muxi Village can't grow any crops. Are you sure you want to settle there? It will be quite troublesome if we have to move our household registration later."

Su Wanning didn't care. There was so much food in the space, so she was not worried. As for Zhan Beiwang, Su Wanning looked up at him.

He ran directly into Zhan Beiwang's tender gaze, "Wherever Aning is, I will be there."

Su Wanning coughed lightly and looked at the yamen runner, "We are sure."

He handed the land deed in his hand to the yamen runner and said, "Please help us transfer the ownership of this as well."

The governor looked at the land deed on the table, then looked up at the two of them and finally said nothing more. After all, the land deed was there, and it seemed a little too late for him to persuade them anymore.

After completing the registration quickly, the two men walked out with the household registration and happened to see a lady in front of them getting into a carriage.

"Aning, what's wrong?" Zhan Beiwang saw Su Wanning stop.

Su Wanning shook her head. "It seemed like I saw someone familiar. Maybe I was mistaken."

"Someone familiar?" How could he not know that Su Wanning knew someone familiar? Zhan Beiwang frowned and followed her gaze, only to see a man in a long, dark-colored robe walking away.

Seeing the carriage going away, Su Wanning walked straight towards her carriage.

Zhan Beiwang hurried to catch up. The sun gradually set and the lights in the city came on. He walked into a tavern, ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine on the second floor, and listened to the songs sung on the first floor.

Zhan Beiwang took a few sips of wine and plucked up his courage. "Aning, when we came out of the government office today, you said you saw someone you knew. Was that the man in the long, dark-colored robe?"

"What's with the black long gown?" Su Wanning, who had been listening attentively to the music, turned around and said, "That acquaintance you're talking about? It's the wife of a county magistrate I met before, the one who founded that girls' school I told you about."

After saying that, Su Wanning looked downstairs. When Zhan Beiwang heard Su Wanning's explanation, a smile instantly spread across his face. He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in Su Wanning's bowl. "Aning, eat."

Su Wanning nodded, picked up the meat and put it in her mouth. It wasn't too bad.

He took the wine jug and poured a glass. "What kind of wine is this? Why does it have a faint floral scent?"

Zhan Bei saw Su Wanning drink it, and poured her another glass. "I guessed you would like it. This is their most famous signature wine, Lotus Wine."

Su Wanning drank another cup. It was indeed delicious. The alcohol content should not be too high. She would not feel a burning sensation in her throat even if she drank it in one gulp. "Buy some more when you leave later. You can drink some when you have nothing to do."

Zhan Beiwang immediately called the waiter and said, "Give us two jars of lotus wine. We'll take it away later."

The waiter quickly agreed. After all, they could make a lot of money by selling the wine.

When paying the bill, Su Wanning felt that the lotus wine was not as delicious as before.

"Sir, your meal costs three taels and two qian of silver. The two jars of wine have been packed, so the total is thirty-five taels and two qian." The shopkeeper said as he adjusted the abacus in his hand.

Although it is expensive, it tastes really good. Fortunately, she has plenty of money now.

The waiter in the store carried two jars of wine onto the carriage. After the two got on the carriage, Su Wanning directly put the two jars of wine into the space.
