Su Lingwei nodded, gently took his hand, and followed him to sit down under the shade of a tree. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, bathing the two of them in a tender atmosphere.

Shen Qingtang couldn't help but smile as she watched this scene. Her second brother and Ling Wei were indeed a couple destined for each other.

After recovering, Su Lingwei stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "I feel so much better now. All the old ailments and the discomfort from the remaining toxins are gone! Miss Shen really saved me, she didn't harm me!"

As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Shen Qingtang, her eyes filled with gratitude.

The officials were dumbfounded. They only knew that Shen Qingtang could set traps and had powerful weapons, but they never expected that she also knew such amazing medical skills.

He could even cure a chronic illness that had lasted for many years, and his gaze towards Shen Qingtang held a newfound respect.

After dealing with Su Lingwei's matter, Shen Qingtang took the remaining blood-clotting herbs.

I also brewed a bowl of medicine for Old Master Shen, using the qi-tonifying herbs I had in my space.

Not long after the old man took the medicine, he straightened his back and moved around a couple of times, exclaiming with delight, "Hey? My back doesn't seem to ache anymore! I feel energetic again. I always felt stuffy before, but I feel much more comfortable now!"

"Grandpa, this medicine can help you recover, but you have to try to avoid getting angry," Shen Qingtang said helplessly. "You used to get angry all the time, which wasn't good for your health."

"I'm not that easily angered!" Old Master Shen retorted stubbornly. "Now that I'm healthier, I'm even less likely to get angry!"

Shen Qingtang raised an eyebrow but didn't respond. She knew her grandfather's temper best; he might say such things but then turn around and get angry over something.

When Grandpa Shen saw that she didn't believe him, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her: "You little brat! What Grandpa said is true! Why don't you believe me?"

Everyone around laughed, and Chen's mother quickly tried to smooth things over: "Father, Qingtang is only doing this for your own good. Don't get angry with the child."

The old man snorted and stopped arguing, but secretly kept Shen Qingtang's instructions in mind.

Afterwards, Shen Qingtang gave Shen Minglan and Shen Mingzhao herbs to stabilize their internal energy. Both of them felt that their internal energy was much smoother, and their previously damaged internal energy also showed signs of recovery.

After finishing all this, Shen Qingtang walked up to Pei Wuwang and said softly, "Thank you for helping me collect the Blood-Coagulating Grass. Let me take your pulse and see how you are recovering."

Pei Wuwang nodded and extended his hand.

Shen Qingtang's fingertips just touched his pulse.

Then, Lu Jin's angry roar came from behind: "Shen Qingtang! Stop it! You are my lawfully wedded wife, how can you lay a hand on another man? This is against the laws of our ancestors! Have you no shame?"

Mother Lu also shrieked, "That's right! Even if you don't like Jin'er, you can't disgrace the family like this! Pei Wuwang, you're a man of status, don't seduce other people's wives!"

Pei Wuwang's eyes turned cold instantly, and he was about to speak.

Shen Qingtang withdrew her hand first and turned to look at Lu Jin and Chen Yulan.

His tone was calm but carried a chilling edge: "Wife? I've worried about you in the Lu family for so many years, have you ever treated me like a wife?"

She paused, her voice choked with emotion: "I haven't even had time to see my parents, my grandfather, and my brothers because of you. I've poured my heart and soul into the Lu family, checking the accounts all by myself. Life has never been easy. You've only been using me, and now you remember me."

"You have absolutely no shame!"

Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, and Grandpa Shen were heartbroken to hear this.

With tears welling in her eyes, Shen's mother walked over and tightly grasped Shen Qingtang's hand: "My Qingtang, I've wronged you..."
