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

At that time, she was still young, and spoke without a filter, thoughtlessly replying, "Sure, when I encounter a young man I fancy, I'll bring him to visit you together, Sister, and you must keep your word."


Their mother glared at the two of them: "Shameless."


Lu Rou couldn't straighten up from laughing as she teased her by pinching her face: "No problem, when the time comes, bring him to me, I want to see which young master would have such an honor, to be so specially regarded by my sister."


There was wind outside the window, causing the candlelight to flicker. Lu Tong came back to her senses and put the hairpin in her hand into the box.


Yin Zheng entered with a basin of water from outside. Lu Tong handed over the remaining silver bracelet and Bamboo Joint Hairpin to her: "This is for you."


"For me?" Yin Zheng was surprised, "Aren't you going to use it yourself, Miss?"


"I bought it in the first place to divert attention." Lu Tong said, "I don't need it on ordinary days."
