Bab 102: Chapter 65: Pei Yunmeng's Suspicions_1

After Minor Heat passed in Shengjing, the weather became increasingly hot.

Outside the silk shoe shop on West Street, a canopy made of brocade had been set up; as evening approached, vendors sat in pairs and groups underneath to escape the heat.

Today was pleasantly cool. With the absence of the morning sun, Du Changqing took his servant Xia Rongrong for a casual stroll in the city, intending also to buy some local products for Xia Rongrong's parents. Only Ah Cheng and Yin Zheng were left in the clinic to help Lu Tong sort the herbs.

Lu Tong sat in the clinic, stacking the newly made "Xianxian" in a corner of the long cabinet. She had recently accrued a debt of one hundred silver pieces from Du Changqing and had no choice but to make extra medicinal teas to compensate.

Yin Zheng was sweeping the floor, while Ah Cheng had gone to the starch shop on West Street to buy sweet syrup for Lu Tong.
