The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1210 - Chapter 1210 1210

Chapter 1210: 1210 Chapter 1210: 1210 Whoever is bonded by a slave contract in this society has no right to speak.

Not to mention registering a marriage with a deed of sale, even if they are beaten to death, the Official Residence would only consider it as the owner having killed a piece of ‘living’ private property.

Killing a slave bound by a lifelong death contract is merely considered slightly more serious than killing livestock, and even if the owner is sued, they will merely be penalized by the government office, without facing any criminal charges.

If her second brother registered their marriage, she would truly feel like crying without tears.

If push came to shove, she would just flee to a distant land, change her name, and start a new life.

Fortunately, it was her third brother who did this, so she considered herself lucky.

When Xiao Yuchuan heard her words, his face became stiff and his teeth clenched tight, “Wife, I won’t let that possibility happen.

You can only be mine!”

She leaned her cheek against his shoulder, “Third brother, isn’t everything going well now?”

“Hmm,” he responded lightly.

But his heart was always uneasy, always feeling that Jin Xun wouldn’t let things go so easily, sensing that he would set some traps.

And right now, he didn’t have much power to confront Jin Xun…

Regardless of the outcome, he would not let anyone take his wife away!

“Third brother, what about Gao Shen?” she asked casually.

“After coming out of the government office, he said there were things to attend to at home and probably went directly back to Liuan Town.”

“Hmm,” Su Qingyue said, “Now that we have the Property Deed for the haunted house, let’s proceed with the plan: demolish the haunted house and the four residences we bought next to it, and rebuild them into a row of shops.

We’ll need the county magistrate’s approval for this procedure.

We should visit County Magistrate Zheng one of these days.”

“That’s a good idea.”

At that moment, the waiter brought up the dinner dishes that Su Qingyue had ordered.

After dinner, Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan discussed visiting the county magistrate.

Staying in an inn with so many eyes watching wasn’t very convenient.

They also didn’t want the trouble of renting a house in town.

The yard of the haunted house occupied a very large area, and though the rooms inside were neglected, they were still picking those suitable for living.

Even if the plan was to demolish and rebuild, they could first move into a room in the corner of the backyard, demolishing and rebuilding the other areas before tackling the backyard room.

The next day, just as dawn broke and Su Qingyue hadn’t yet gotten out of bed, Xiao Yuchuan went to the haunted house alone to tidy up a room.

He used the key to open the main gate of the haunted house, where the horizontal tablet above the door hung askew, its engraved letters long fallen off, leaving only half of the character ‘residence’ remaining.

After entering the homestead, he first surveyed the yard, then found a side room in the backyard that, despite being covered in dust, didn’t seem too badly damaged, and pondered whether to clean up this room to live in.

But this side room was clearly a servants’ room.

He wouldn’t mind living there himself, but he feared it would be too humble for his wife.

And the bedrooms in the main building weren’t convenient to clear out because they were located in the middle.

Only this servants’ room, built against the courtyard wall, wouldn’t interfere with the demolition and reconstruction.

“Hehehe…” A woman’s laugh echoed through the empty yard.

The source of the sound was indistinguishable.

In the east, just a hint of dawn’s light peeked through, as the entire sky was still shrouded in thick darkness, not yet brightened.

“Who’s there!” Xiao Yuchuan turned and scoured the yard, but saw not a single soul.

Suddenly, a red figure vanished around the corner.

His expression turned stern, and he immediately chased after it.

Reaching the corner, he saw the open yard ahead and the tall fence beyond, with nothing else in sight.
