Chapter 826 Soone is Renovating Her Courtyard
ngyu originally wanted to say that she had already set up an array there, but Leng Xiangchen, though her uncle, was eting her for the first ti, so it wasn’t appropriate to reveal her secret of Immortal Cultivation.
She wanted to go to the small courtyard in Yang’an Alley but then rembered that Huang Zifeng was in isolation, conducting energy induction there.
So she looked at Leng Xiangchen and said, "Why don’t I take you to sit in my ho courtyard?"
Leng Xiangchen nodded, "Alright."
After ngyu arrived in the Capital City, she mostly went to Yang’an Alley since it was closer to the Chinese dicine College, but she had never been to the courtyard in Houhai.
The two of them went to the courtyard in Houhai, only to find the door opened, and soone was moving things inside, seemingly preparing to renovate the courtyard.
She ran around to check, then took out the property deed from her ring. Indeed, there was no mistake; this was the courtyard that Cheng Jiuhe had given her.
But when did she call soone to renovate it?
However, the key was still in her hand. Who opened the courtyard door?
Upon a closer look at the courtyard door, she noticed that even the lock had been replaced.
Leng Xiangchen grabbed a worker carrying tools, "Who sent you here?"
The worker glanced at Leng Xiangchen, "Naturally, the owner of this courtyard."
ngyu scolded, "Nonsense, who ordered you to do the renovation?"
The worker was puzzled, "Wasn’t it said that the owner wanted to get married in this house before the New Year, so we were instructed to renovate it?"
Get married? ngyu and Leng Xiangchen exchanged glances, "Who’s getting married?"
On the surface, this courtyard only seed to have two entries, but it was quite large: twenty-six ters wide, thirty-six ters deep, with a total of sixteen rooms, plus a kitchen and toilet.
This plot was originally the area of a three-entry courtyard, but the back was not developed into rooms, only a 200-square-ter rear garden was enclosed.
The buildings in the courtyard were adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, made of redwood, and the layout was very reasonable.
At the ti, ngyu had liked this courtyard very much, so how could she think of remodeling it?
The worker sized up ngyu, "It’s not you getting married, it’s the owner of the courtyard."
Leng Xiangchen realized sothing was amiss, "Whose family is the owner you’re talking about?"
"Naturally, the Cheng Family! The second son of the Cheng Family, Cheng Jiunian, is getting married before the New Year and is using this courtyard as the bridal house. Could it be you—"
ngyu understood now; she had heard Brother Cheng ntion before that his half-brother was always scheming to take this courtyard given to him by their grandfather, which was why he had considered selling it.
Later, when he and ngyu beca sworn siblings, he gifted the courtyard to her.
She didn’t expect that these people, knowing that Brother Cheng had already sold the courtyard, still wanted to take it.
The renovation worker, seeing them enter with such confidence, assud they were the owners. But hearing this, were they not?
"Who are you?"
ngyu took out the property deed for the worker to see, "Take a good look. I am the owner of this courtyard."
The renovation worker was taken aback, "What, you are the owner of the courtyard? But—"
"There’s no ’but.’ You’ve been deceived. I never intended to renovate the house. Luckily, I ca to check on the courtyard today. Otherwise, after you renovated it, not only would you not get your renovation fee, but you would also have to help restore it to its original state and compensate for the damages."
"I advise you to stop what you’re doing."
ngyu saw the materials prepared in the courtyard and realized that the second son of the Cheng Family had no intention of living in the old house. He seed to want to transform this courtyard into a more modern building.
