When Anning returned home with Lin Lianshuang, Xiao Yuan also happened to be coming back.
Lin Lianshuang got out of the carriage and saw Xiao Yuan. Without any shyness, she gracefully saluted. Xiao Yuan returned the salute and went to the front yard.
Anning took Lin Lianshuang into the back courtyard.
As they walked, she said, "This house was originally Yu Youcai's. However, after he incited the people to riot, our master executed him directly, and we ended up buying this house to use it ourselves."
"Buy?"
Lin Lianshuang raised an eyebrow.
Anning smiled, "Of course we bought it. Do you think we would seize it forcefully? Every penny spent on this house is accounted for. Recently, part of it was used to repair roads, including the one we just passed by."
Lin Lianshuang found it quite curious, "Now that Mr. Xiao controls the three Nanyi Prefectures, all the people here must follow his orders. It would be easy to just seize the house, so why buy it?"
