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

"Of course not." Yin Zheng rose to make the bed, "Those relatives who come begging in autumn, all wish to dress as shabbily as possible, hoping to receive some silver. How could Miss Xia compare? The fabric of the dress she wears is even newer than yours. And that agate bracelet on her wrist, that's worth no less than twenty pieces of silver."


Yin Zheng turned her head, "When have you ever seen a poor relative looking so splendid during their autumn begging?"


"A woman dresses to please those she favors," Yin Zheng turned back and continued making the bed, "Most likely for Shopkeeper Du, I reckon. She truly seems to have her sights set on Shopkeeper Du."


Lu Tong nodded, "She is Shopkeeper Du's cousin. If it really comes to discussing marriage, naturally they'll be inseparable in the future." Speaking of which, Lu Tong paused, and looked at Yin Zheng with confusion, "Are you unhappy because you like Shopkeeper Du?"
