Zhan Beiwang walked over and hugged Su Wanning, "A Ning, I'm sorry."

Su Wanning sighed. It was her house anyway, so she didn't want to dwell on it anymore. "Okay, go back and pack your things. We're going to build the new house tomorrow."

Zhan Bei reluctantly let go of Su Wanning's hand when he saw that her expression had relaxed.

On the way back to the city, Su Wanning and Zhan Beiwang were sitting in the carriage.

She looked at Zhan Beiwang and asked about what happened in the morning, "Did anything happen at home this morning?"

"I bought a house in the city a while ago, and this morning while cleaning, I found a body in the backyard pond. I wanted to return the house, but the trafficker refused to buy it and reported it to the authorities. Now the house has been sealed off, and the owner has moved to the next town. The government has sent people to capture him."

The house has already been bought, and it should be impossible to return it. Now that someone has died in the mansion, it is not certain that anyone will buy it even at a low price.

Although it was common for slaves to be beaten to death in some mansions, these were usually done in private. Now that the matter had been brought out into the open, it had a different meaning.

"So they are staying at the inn now?"

Zhan Beiwang nodded. "I haven't investigated thoroughly yet, and I haven't found a satisfactory house yet. I can only stay at the inn for now."

If a satisfactory house was so easy to find, the city is so small and if there were other similar houses, he would have bought them long ago. Why would he be living in an inn now?

Su Wanning thought about what Lu Jingtong had said before and looked at her. "What about what Xiaotong said today about you accompanying others to buy clothes?"

Zhan Beiwang's face changed. What needs to be faced must be faced. "When I was accompanying my father at the border, I met a father and daughter who were traveling around."

From Zhan Beiwang's words, Su Wanning learned that when he first went to the border, he was more playful. When he ran to the mountain to play, he slipped down the hillside and was rescued by a couple who went up the mountain to collect herbs. The father and daughter lived not far from the border, and they often played together.

Later he heard that the father and daughter were called back by the family. It had been a few years and he had forgotten about it. He happened to meet them yesterday and because the other party's father was there, he stayed temporarily.

The carriage slowly entered the city.

Su Wanning also saw the woman that Zhan Beiwang mentioned.

"Little crybaby, are you really here?" Her hair was loose with tassels, her face was lightly made up, and the bells on her ankles rang because of the shaking when she walked.

Judging from her appearance, if no one told her, Su Wanning might think that she was a princess from a foreign country.

Zhan Beiwang dodged Wen Renjing's hand that was stretched out to hug him, coughed lightly, and moved closer to Su Wanning, introducing, "This is my wife."

Su Wanning nodded at her. The smile on Wen Renjing's face disappeared. She looked Su Wanning up and down, "Are you the wife of the little crybaby?"

Wen Renjing looked at Su Wanning, then at Zhan Beiwang, then took a step back and bowed to Su Wanning, "I like little crybabies, I want to compete with you fairly."

Su Wanning couldn't help laughing as she looked at Wen Renjing's frankness. It was the first time she heard a woman say this. After all, from the modern dramas she had watched, by the time the wife of the main house found out, the two of them had already done something.

"it is good."

"Okay?" Wen Renjing looked at Su Wanning with a puzzled expression, "I want to compete with you for your husband and his affection."

Su Wanning nodded, "I know, I agree."

Zhan Beiwang immediately spoke out to stop him, "What about fair competition? I don't agree. I said I would only marry Aning in this life.

And you, Wen Renjing, stop messing around here!"

Wen Renjing glanced at Zhan Beiwang, then took out a handful of banknotes from her bosom and put them in Su Wanning's hand. "I want him to have dinner with me tonight."

Su Wanning looked at the dozen banknotes, which were worth at least several thousand taels. She quickly took the banknotes and put them in her arms. She looked at Wen Renjing and said, "Take the person away. Remember to return him after dinner. This much money is only worth the time it takes to eat a meal."

Wen Renjing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll bring it back to you when the time comes."

"I don't agree!" Zhan Beiwang looked at Su Wanning aggrievedly, "Aning, you sold her to me for just this little money? I have money, give her back."

Su Wanning looked at the banknote in her hand and said, "What you said is not nice. What do you mean by selling? You and this..."

"Wen Renjing." Wen Renjing returned immediately.

"Sister Wenjing, I haven't seen you for such a long time. Don't you think we should catch up? Having a meal together is a good opportunity to chat."

Wen Renjing nodded in agreement, "Yes, we're just going to have a meal and catch up on the past. We'll eat at a restaurant in the city."

Zhan Beiwang was about to retort, but Su Wanning reached out and patted his shoulder, "Go ahead, go now, and you can come back early in the evening."

After saying that, he counted the silver bills in his hand and went into the inn.

If you can earn six thousand taels of silver from one meal, then if you eat three meals a day, it will be eighteen thousand taels, and if you eat for ten days, it will be one hundred and eighty thousand taels. Oh my god, this is going to make you rich again.

I didn’t expect this person to be so rich, so the food they eat must be the most expensive.

As for Zhan Beiwang, she was not worried at all.

Su Wanning hummed a song as she opened the door and put the banknotes in her hand into a cloth bag.

Feeling a chill on her neck, Su Wanning swallowed her saliva and took out the banknotes that she had been planning to store in the space. "Great... Great hero, spare my life. I have silver... Take it all, and spare my life."

The person behind him chuckled and put the sword on Su Wanning's neck into the sword case.

Su Wanning felt the voice was familiar, and felt the chill on her neck had subsided, so she slowly turned her head.

After seeing that it was indeed a familiar person, he collapsed to the ground and began to breathe heavily.

"Bai Ye!"

Bai Ye chuckled, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, put a pill in it, and the pill quickly dissolved. The glass of water gave off a medicinal smell.

He handed the water to Su Wanning, "It's for calming the mind."

Su Wanning took the water, drank it, and was helped by Bai Ye to sit on the stool.

After calming down a bit, Su Wanning looked at Bai Ye and asked, "When did you come?"

"Today at noon." Bai Ye poured another cup of tea for Su Wanning.

"Are you here alone?"

Bai Ye nodded, "I came here alone. Bai Su has other things to do in the capital."

Thinking of something, Bai Ye continued, "You asked me to make him a birthday present before, and he liked it very much. He said he would thank you properly when we meet next time.

By the way, why are you in this city? Many people choose to settle down somewhere closer to the outside world.

Su Wanning put down the teacup in her hand and said, "I was originally planning to settle down somewhere closer to the ocean, but I happened to hear that the scenery here is better, so I came here."
