The Glory After Rebirth

Chapter 32: Feel So Uneasy

In the next few days, Ling family was still in a depressing atmosphere because several servants were fired one after another these days. Although they were given some sliver for their next step when they left, they lost a good job after leaving Ling family. So none of them felt happy.

Of course, there was one or two who did not get the silver. With broken legs, they were put into the government prison directly.

Ling family’s action was clear-cut and that didn’t hide from the Jia family who had paid attention to Ling family’s every move carefully. As soon as the servant of Jia family ran back to Jia’s home, he told Jia Yin all he had inquired these days.

“One of those who were sent to the prison with broken legs is the one we set in Ling family one year ago. He was about to gain Ling Zhaowen’s trust. And he could have direct interaction with Ling Zhaowen and enter his study room to serve him later. I didn’t expect him to be caught and directly sent to the prison.” The servant who came back to inform said.

With his face black with rage, Jia Yin asked, “Did that person confess anything?”

The servant nervously wiped the sweat on his forehead, and replied, “There is no news to date. Tao Yi and Ling Zhaowen are guarding the government prison closely, so our people can’t get in.”

Jia Yin clenched his fists tightly and banged them on the table heavily, “Ling Zhaowen, such an ignorant man, acted so fast! Go to invite Second Master, hope that he will find a way to visit Ling’er in the prison, and get some messages from the one who is being arrested.”

“Yes!” The servant answered immediately and then rushed out to find Jia Zhong.

……

In Ling family, Ling Zhang’s yard was the place where the atmosphere was the most serious.

Among the people who were fired this time, nearly half of them were from Ling Zhang’s yard. It was not because those servant all had problems, but because they didn’t meet Ling Zhang’s requirement after these days’ observations. So they were sent out with some silver.

And those who stayed were all nervous.

“Young Master, with so many people being sent away, is it necessary to hire some new servants?” Xiafeng asked Ling Zhang.

“No hurry, this yard is not so large, and I don’t need so many people here. And the rest servants here still need a period of observation,” Ling Zhang answered unhurriedly.

Xiafeng was dazed, ‘Will Young Master continue firing some people?’

“Place quality above quantity,” Ling Zhang said.

After this sentence, Ling Zhang changed the subject asked, “Is uncle back?”

Xiafeng replied, “This servant has already sent a man to wait at the front door. Since he has not come back to report, so Second Master is not back yet.”

Ling Zhang wanted to know if the men who would escort Jia Yuanling to the frontier for banishment were decided or not, and if his uncle had arranged everything perfectly. Did the butler and those people who went to the capital arrive? He didn’t know why he was always feeling so uneasy. Somehow, he just got the feeling that it would not be so easy to send the divorce paper to the capital.

‘Pooh! I’m overthinking,’ Ling Zhang despised himself in the heart.

“Oops…” Being immersed in his thought too much, Ling Zhang inadvertently touched the aching point on his body. These days, he had followed Wang Dashan to do exercise every morning. Wang Dashan was in no hurry to teach Ling Zhang basic skills, but told him to limber up his body first. Wang Dashan just took him for a run and some stretches every morning. Ling Zhang never quit in the middle, finishing the two-hour exercise every time. Although Ling Zhang would apply medicated oil to soothe the muscle pain after every exercise, his body was still aching. And it hurt so badly that he winced every time when the muscles were accidentally pulled.

However, it was better to feel the pain. The more painful he was, the more it proved that he really existed and the more he could feel that he was reborn, which led him to feel more secure and determined.

And after these days’ observation of the guardians’ situation, he had a plan in mind.
