Pei Yunmeng lowered her head in thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to ask, "So what do you want to do?"
"I would like to ask for a favor from Lord Pei."
"What favor?"
Lu Tong looked at him and, after a long pause, spoke.
"I would like to ask Lord Pei to paint a picture for me."
...
The night gradually deepened.
Lu Tong left the Palace Marshal's Mansion, with Pei Yunmeng seeing her onto the carriage, and Qingfeng escorting her back to the Medical Officer Institute.
Not until the carriage disappeared at the alley entrance did Pei Yunmeng return to the Palace Marshal's Mansion and call Chi Jian into the room.
He handed the letter he had written to Chi Jian, "Pick a few men to go to Fengle Building, and do as it says."
Chi Jian took the order and left.
Xiao Zhufeng had returned at some point and was sitting at the table, watching him coldly, "You helped her out of pity before, now out of gratitude. What about next time, because of love?"
