Mountain Wanderer

Lu Tong spent seven years studying medicine in the mountains, but upon returning home, he found everything had changed.

His eldest sister, a victim of foul play, met a tragic end.
His elder brother, wrongfully imprisoned, languished in dungeons.
His father journeyed to the capital to seek justice, only to meet a watery demise on the road.
His mother, driven to madness overnight, perished in flames.

Lu Tong packed his medical kit and headed to the capital of Jingzhou.

'Debts must be repaid, and lives must be avenged!
'If there's no judge, then I'll be the judge from Hell!'

In the capital, noble families faced successive tragedies,
Commander Pei Yunxing quietly investigated the matter,
And suspicions fell on a young woman from the Renxin Medical Hall.
However...
Before he could find evidence,
The girl made her move against him first.

Smiling Under Lanterns

Ke Mansion was especially lively these past few days.


In a few days, it would be Lady Qin's birthday. Unlike Madam Lu, who came from humble origins, Lady Qin's father held the post of a Calligraphy Officer at the current Imperial Secretariat.


While Lady Qin's father's position may not have been prominent, it was still a head above the common folk. For a merchant family like the Ke Family, it was regarded as striking gold to be joined with such a household.


Therefore, everyone from top to bottom in the Ke Family went out of their way to accommodate and please Lady Qin, the newly entered senior mistress. Preparations for her birthday banquet began half a month in advance.


Nanny Wan busied herself all day organizing the sweet treats for the birthday banquet, and Wan Fu was also tied up with distributing utensils and making sure Master Ke's guest list for the feast was comprehensive. It was deep into the night by the time they finished their tasks and returned to their quarters.
