TGAR Chapter 5

Jia Yuanling’s back garden is in the style of Jiangnan garden, winding and winding, elegant and quiet, which is convenient for Ling Zhang to lay out the formation.

The formations his mother taught him had to be used according to different conditions, some of which paid attention to the right place at the right time. But the illusive trap he was about to use did not need the help of the right time or weather but only the right place.  With no interruptions from anyone, Ling Zhang was ready to validate whether the trap was as magical as his mother had said.

To do so, according to the memory just recalled, Ling Zhang changed the position of all the potted plants around the garden, pushed some small ornamental plants, and moved some fragrant potted plants to a close place from the corner of the back garden, and finally changed the posture of the dancer lying unconscious on the ground.

When the layout was about to be completed, Ling Zhang heard a sound coming from outside, he finished the work in a hurry and intended to find a place to hide. However, the moment he stood up, he felt dizzy when he accidentally saw the dancer’s body. Startled, he quickly left from the only safe exit in the formation.

Even Ling Zhang, the one who laid out the formation, had been affected, hence he was looking forward to the effect of the trap more than ever.

At that moment, there was the sound of footsteps from the corner of the back garden, with a voice saying: “Father, there must be some misunderstanding. Brother Zhang is a moral man. He got drunk and rested in the wing room. How could he do such a thing?”

It was Jia Yuanling.

Then an angry voice growled: “Unfilial son!” Followed by the sound of someone being pushed to the ground.

“Yuanling, are you alright? Why speak for Ling Zhang?”

“To be precise, Ling Zhang dared to do such a shameful thing. Then he must pay for it!”

Hiding in the darkness, Ling Zhang watched their acting with a sullen face, and the pent-up anger in his heart flared up. Jia Yuanling was still acting at this moment! What a performance!

‘How stupid of me to not even see who he really is!’ Ling Zhang thought.

“Master, they’re here!” Someone shouted.

It seemed that they had found the dancing girl; perhaps, they should have walked into an illusive trap.

Ling Zhang took a few steps forward to get out of the hiding place, so that he could see the situation inside the trap without being noticed.

Among the crowd, it was the current head of Jia Yin, Jia Yin in the lead, behind him were guests visiting the Jia Family, such as the local magistrate Tao Feng and his son Tao Yi, the head of the He Family, He Zhongming, living to the east of the city, several high-status people, and even several harems!

Logically, these were outsiders who shouldn’t appear in private events. Perhaps Jia Yuanling wanted to make Ling Zhang’s “scandal” known to everyone, so he deliberately led the guests here.

The situation in his previous life was too chaotic for Ling Zhang to distinguish the people around him. Ling Zhang could only remember there were many people witnessing his embarrassment, as if everyone in Tanyang was there. And their curses and hexes were still fresh in his mind.

This time he was able to see their faces clearly and match them with the disdainful faces in the memory of his previous life one by one finally. Gradually, Ling Zhang’s eyes turned cold.

“Ah…” Suddenly, a woman screamed. “Over there!”

“Oh my God! How can this be? It’s true.”

“Whore! You slut!” Seeing the dancing girl unknowingly covered with traces of sex, Jia Yin was too angry to say a word, his face flushed and his neck bulging: “Fucking whore! I will kill her!”

“How can this be? Brother Zhang really…” Jia Yuanling was about to say something but strangled his words as if his neck was grabbed by someone when he saw there was only a dancing girl lying on the ground, his face distorted. “No. You said it was Ling Zhang who committed adultery with this woman, but where is he?”

“Yes, exactly who committed adultery with that dancing girl?”
