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

The incense burner in the elegant room had Mingtan incense lit within, the fragrance rich and refined. Behind the curtain, a voice spoke calmly, yet with a peculiar roughness, brushing over the skin and instantly raising fine goosebumps.


Wan Fu steadied his mind and continued, "The doctor confirmed that the eldest lady was pregnant that day, and both Master Ke and Madam Ke were thrown into a panic."


"That very night, a carriage arrived at the mansion. The visitor met with Master Ke and spoke a few words to him. It wasn't a long visit, only about the time it takes an incense stick to burn."


The person behind the curtain asked, "Was the visitor from the Grand Preceptor's Mansion?"


"I didn't enter the room so I don't know the visitor's identity," Wan Fu paused, then anxiously added another sentence, fearing the other party's discontent, "But when the visitor left, Master Ke saw him to the door, so I surmise their status must not have been low."
