Shen Qingtang rubbed his head and said with a smile, "This is Auntie's secret base. Here, no one can hurt you, and Auntie can cure your illness." She picked honeysuckle, isatis root and other herbs from her space herb garden, and took out the detoxification liquid she had previously extracted.

Boil the medicinal soup on the stone stove.

Pei Nian'an sat obediently to the side, watching Shen Qingtang's busy figure, and whispered, "Auntie, you are so kind."

After the medicine was brewed, Shen Qingtang cooled it down and fed it to Pei Nian'an. She then used the hot spring water from her space to wipe his body.

After three days of continuous medication, Pei Nian'an's cough gradually stopped, and her complexion changed from pale to rosy.

He no longer broke out in a cold sweat, and could even follow Shen Qingtang as they chased butterflies in the space.

Pei Wuwang would inquire about Pei Nian'an's condition through the door every day. Upon learning that Pei Nian'an was recovering, he specially prepared chicken soup and brought it over.

Seeing that Shen Qingtang had gotten a lot of medicine on her fingers while taking care of Pei Nian'an, she took the initiative to wipe them clean, her eyes full of tenderness.

That day.

When Shen Qingtang helped Pei Nian'an change his clothes, she noticed a light pink crescent-shaped birthmark on his right shoulder, with rounded edges, like a small moon embedded in his skin.

It looks exceptionally good.

She couldn't resist poking the birthmark, and Pei Nian'an giggled and dodged, saying, "Auntie, it tickles!"

Seeing his lively demeanor, Shen Qingtang finally felt relieved. Fortunately, she had her spatial ability, and fortunately, Nian'an was alright.

But when she thought of Lu Jiaojiao's viciousness, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

She would settle this score sooner or later. Shen Qingtang stared at the crescent-shaped birthmark on Pei Nian'an's shoulder.

I suddenly remembered that I also have the exact same one on my left shoulder.

That was the mark left after the spatial bracelet merged into the body.

She lifted her sleeve, revealing her birthmark, and smiled at Pei Nian'an, saying, "Look, Auntie has the same mark as you."

Pei Nian'an leaned closer and gently poked the two of their birthmarks with his little finger, his eyes sparkling: "Wow! Auntie and I have the same birthmark! Aren't we especially destined for each other?" He giggled and snuggled into Shen Qingtang's arms.

He affectionately nuzzled her neck, creating a warm and tender atmosphere.

But this warmth didn't last long; suddenly, a panicked sound came from outside.

Qin Xian also developed symptoms of the plague, including a persistent cough and a bluish complexion.

Father Shen rushed over, his face full of guilt: "Brother Qin, it's all our fault. If Nian'an hadn't contracted the disease, you wouldn't have..."

"It has nothing to do with you guys," Qin Xian waved his hand, forcing himself to say, "It was my own carelessness."

Shen Qingtang immediately fetched the freshly brewed antidote and handed it to Qin Xian: "Uncle Qin, drink this, and you'll get better soon."

Qin Xian took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. In less than half an hour, his cough subsided and his complexion gradually returned to normal, finally putting everyone's minds at ease.

Meanwhile, Lu Jiaojiao realized she had failed to kill Pei Nian'an.

He then began to urge the officials: "Chief Zhao! They must still be carrying the plague! If we let them stay in the villa, they'll infect the whole city sooner or later! Why don't we burn down the villa tonight and burn them all to death, eliminating the threat forever!"

Zhao, the head constable, frowned and refused: "No! They are already in quarantine, and Shen Qingtang can cure the plague. If we kill them, who will save the infected people?" Although he was timid, he still had some conscience and was not persuaded by Lu Jiaojiao.

Lu Jiaojiao was not giving up. She turned to Li, the constable she had already bribed, and whispered, "At midnight tonight, take a few men to burn down the villa. Say it was an accidental fire, and I'll give you a hundred taels of silver afterwards!" She then showed him the silver notes.
