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 Buddha beads were warm and smooth, and Qi Qing quietly observed them, yet the image of the woman's calm demeanor when facing him earlier floated before his eyes.


Whether she was being overly clever or not, the composure and serenity she possessed were something that even Cui Min, who had already become an Envoy back in the day, was unable to achieve.


Lu Tong was right, she was more useful than Cui Min.


It was a pity she was born a commoner, if only she were a daughter of the Qi Family...


The hand turning the Buddha beads paused abruptly as Qi Qing's eyes snapped open, asking, "What was the name of the good wife who died earlier at Fengle Building?"


"Do you suspect she is from the Lu Family of Changwu County?" asked the steward, puzzled, "But the good wife's family are the Lu Family people, whereas Lu Tong is from Su Nan."
