Lu Tong left the Dong Residence when it was already noon.
At this time, the sun was at its strongest, and fearing the heat of summer, Lady Dong arranged for the Dong family's carriage to take her back.
Riding along in the carriage was an old servant, Missus Wang, a servant of the Dong family, who also accompanied Lu Tong back from Wan'en Temple previously.
Missus Wang's manner towards Lu Tong was much more polite than before, chatting with her amicably the entire way. When they arrived at Renxin Medical Hall, Lu Tong thanked Missus Wang and was about to lift the carriage curtain and alight when suddenly, she heard Missus Wang exclaim "Eh" from beside her.
Lu Tong turned her head, and Missus Wang pointed outside the carriage, "Isn't that Lord Pei?"
Lu Tong followed her gaze.
