Xiao Yuan invited Constable Geng for breakfast, then went to find a human trafficker to buy two servants.
He took these two sets of servants back to his newly bought house, instructed them to tidy up some livable rooms, and found a few masons doing short-term work to help repair the dilapidated areas of the house.
Additionally, he paid to have people clear out weeds in the yard and garden and bought some new plants to replant.
By the time the house was finally in a state fit to show to people, it was already evening.
Only then did Xiao Yuan use the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Skill to send Anning a message, telling her the location of the house he bought.
After having dinner, Xiao Yuan returned to his room, and Anning came over.
Xiao Yuan smiled as he handled a copper pot, and he brought Hei Hu out, sliced the fish to make a fish hotpot.
Anning prepared some vegetables, and the two started eating hotpot.
