For several days, Xia Rongrong had been avoiding Lu Tong.
In the past, when Lu Tong was at the medical hall during the day, Xia Rongrong and her servants would follow him to help, but these few days she had stayed in the courtyard, unwilling to come out, and would even walk around to avoid him if they met. This behavior was too obvious. Du Changqing had asked her openly and in secret several times, and was brushed off by Xia Rongrong, who made him think that the two of them had quarreled behind closed doors.
Outside, dark clouds rolled, and Yin Zheng helped Lu Tong move a white porcelain statue of the Bodhisattva into the small Buddhist shrine inside the house.
