Chapter 73 - Ling Zhangs Confusion, Yuwen Tongs Enlightenment (1/2)

Sincerely sorry for the repeated chapter. As a compensation, I've unlocked this chapter for all readers.

-------------------------------------------------

Ling Zhaowen got up, staring at the woman who had fainted on the ground. If he had not been told in advance that someone would plot against him, he would have fallen into a trap today!

”Are you okay, Tongzhi Ling?” A man in black came in through the window, asking in a low voice.

Ling Zhaowen shook his head, ”Nothing serious.”

The man in black nodded, threw the sack on his back to the ground, and released the unconscious man out of the sack. It was Jia Yin. He placed this woman on Jia Yin’s body, creating a scene where the two were committing adultery. ”...Lord, he is in there!”

There was a noise outside the room, and the sound of footsteps was approaching, too.

”Tongzhi Ling, come with me.” The man in black looked at Ling Zhaowen immediately.

Ling Zhaowen said gratefully, ”Sorry to trouble you.”

The man in black said, ”You shouldn't be.” Then he jumped out of the window with Ling Zhaowen and brought Jia Yin back from his unconsciousness by striking his acupoint before they left.

The next second, the door was kicked open.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, which awakened Jia Yin. Before he could reflect on his situation, he was stopped by a surprised voice.

”Big brother?!”

Jia Zhong led the way, followed by Tao Feng and others. Everyone saw what was going on inside.

Jia Zhong didn't expect that the man who hugged Liu Chengfang was his eldest brother. ‘

The others stood there dumbfounded. Jia Zhong took them here to expose adultery, but caught his brother right on the spot.

There was a light flas.h.i.+ng in Tao Feng's eyes. Just now, Jia Zhong went to the Yamen and told him that Ling Zhaowen had a secret meeting with an unmarried woman and had some indiscretions, trying to take him here to expose the adultery. Although he was worried that this was a trap, he had no chance to notify Ling Family. Originally he thought Ling Zhaowen would have a big trouble this time, but he didn't expect that things would have a fortunate turn.

”Jia Zhong, you dare to ask us to come here without knowing whether the person involved is your eldest brother or Ling Zhaowen. Jia Yin is not a member of Prefecture Yamen. Since this is a privacy of your family, you should handle it by yourselves.”

With that Tao Feng was ready to leave, but heard a flurry of footsteps coming from the downstairs.

”Where is Jia Yin?” A shrill woman’s voice sounded.

Fang s.h.i.+ ran upstairs with some people. She froze when she saw Tao Feng and others. Then she s.h.i.+fted her gaze from those people to the next room and went straight in. A dark look formed on her face when she saw Jia Yin holding a disheveled woman.

”Jia Yin, you shameless a.s.shole!”

”Sister-in-law, this is a mistake.” Although Jia Zhong had no idea why his brother was here, he knew that they had fallen into a trap.

”I am not blind!”

”What are you shouting at?” Her voice pulled him out of his thoughts. ”How can you, as a woman, shout so rudely? What a bad manner!”

”Why are you blaming me? Look at what you have done!”

Jia Yin and Fang s.h.i.+ had a fierce quarrel, which spread far away.

Jia Zhong clenched his fist, gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth. ”Ling Zhaowen!”

The Ling Family.

After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, Ling Zhaowen became much more sober. He thanked Yuwen Tong for many times.

”Uncle Ling, I am glad you are fine.” Yuwen Tong said. Otherwise, Ling Zhang might not sleep well.

Ling Zhang stood beside Yuwen Tong, looking at his uncle without saying a word.

Ling Zhaowen knew his nephew well, so he reminded, ”Zhang'er, hold your horses.”

”Uncle, don't worry, I won't act recklessly,” Ling Zhang answered calmly, but he was not at peace inwardly.

” Jia Family is determined to remove Xingzhong from the position of Tongzhi. They always resort to despicable means that are hard to take precautions against. They are so abominable!”

Ling Xingzhong was very angry. He had never felt sorry for losing his position, but this was the first time that he felt powerless. If he were still holding an important post in court, how dare such a insignificant Jia Family plot against his son?

Fu Caiwei’s eyes turned red, but she didn’t shed any tears. Because she knew that she couldn't act cowardly. She needed to take care of the whole family. Only by taking care of the affairs at home can her man fight for their family without worries.

Ling Zhaowen had drunk much. Although he had hangover soup, he still needed a rest. Ling Zhang and Yuwen Tong left together after Ling Zhaowen explained about what had happened.

Looking at the lonely figure of his grandfather, Ling Zhang felt very sad.

After learning of Jia Zhong's plot, he had planned to knock Jia Zhong out then replace his uncle with Jia Zhong. But with Zhang Chong backing him up, the worst result for Jia Zhong was that he married Liu Chengfang as his concubine, which wouldn’t cause much trouble for him. If it were Jia Yin, it would be different. Once they enticed Fang s.h.i.+ into coming to that restaurant, it would cause trouble for the Jia Family for a while.

At bottom, it was because he couldn't shake the power of the Jia Family. Instead of getting rid of such clowns as the Jia Family, to wipe out Zhang Chong, the backing of the Jia Family, was the most intractable thing for Ling Zhang. He wouldn't act rashly until he got the key evidences Yuwen Tong had mentioned that could bring eternal doom to Zhang Chong.

Ling Zhang said nothing all the way. Yuwen Tong knew that he was upset now. ”I know your vexation, but you still need patience. Only in this way can you get rid of them once for all.”
