Chapter 396: Chapter 147 Jade Pendant_3

In the room, the attendant expressed his surprise, "Is she the same Resident Doctor Lu that Young Master encountered at the herb processing place before... the one who was throwing her weight around?"

Ji Xun nodded.

It had just occurred to him that the reason Lu Tong's face seemed so familiar was not because of the chance encounter on Que'er Street before, but even earlier.

Back in Shengjing at the herb processing place, they had met once before.

At that time, he was there to deliver a book of herbal recipes when a woman, accompanied by guards from the Minister of Imperial Treasury's wife, barged in fiercely. He overheard Lu Tong speaking to the Medicine Examiner Officer, Lou Si, from behind a screen.

Lou Si, intimidated by the power of the Dong Family, eventually facilitated matters for them.

Ji Xun therefore took an instant dislike to her.
