If the legal owner or the emphyteuticary, in a proper case, should not have made use of the right of preemption to which § 4220 of this title refers, he may make use of that of redemption to acquire the estate for the price at which it has been sold.
In such case the redemption must be made use of within the nine (9) working days following that of the execution of the bill of sale. If said sale should be concealed, said period shall be counted from the record thereof in the registry of property.
Concealment is presumed when the instrument is not filed in the registry within the nine (9) days following that of its execution.
Besides this presumption, the concealment may be proven by any other legal means.
