Chapter 161 (1/2)

The gate of the house was also shut with a seal on. Jing Yue blinked her eyes as she stared at people over there and asked curiously.

“Well, that is an official’s house,” replied Shangguan Linglan as she leaned to Jing Yue, “Now I know what my third brother actually meant when he said he has to handle official affairs today. sai’ he’s referring to this.”

“An official’s house?” Jing Yue turned to Shangguan Linglan and asked.

“The house’s owner is a state-authorized businessman. It’s said that his house is sealed for his accepting bribes of huge amount, even the Minister of Revenue is removed from his office because of this!” explained Shangguan Linglan. Hearing that, Jing Yue instantly showed a look of understanding, then her eyes shined with eagerness as she stared at that sealed mansion.

“Such a livable land of treasures! What will happen to this house when it is closed?” Jing Yue turned to ask Shangguan Lingfeng.

“The Ministry of Revenue will take the house back of course. Then they keep a record of the house and later they will reallocate it to its next owner after renovating and reconstructing the house.” Shangguan Linglan looked at the house over there, saying, “It is not really a livable house. Look, frequented by so few, it is quite a desolate place here indeed.”

“Good…Really good…” Jing Yue nodded her head with contentment, her eyes so ferociously avid that it surprised Shangguan Linglan to pop her eyes open widely.

“Jing Yue, again? What do you want this time?” Shangguan Lingfeng inquired, frowning.

“I’ve made a decision. I want that house!” Jing Yue clapped her hands, rose to her full height, and claimed with her eyes powerfully gazing at the house.

“You want that house? What for?” Shangguan Linglan and Ning Xiangyuan were both stupefied in astonishment for a second, and with their curious eyes on Jing Yue, they questioned.

“To build a new house of course!” Then Jing Yue sat down to start her speech of how she thought of this house with excitements to both of her friends. Over the course of Jing Yue talking herself out, Shangguan Linglan and Ning Xiangyuan became more astounded as Jing Yue’s speech went further, eventually both of them looked at Jing Yue with their astonishment.
