Not wanting to look at this place any longer, Nanqu said to the driver, "Let's go, let's go see my house. Don't let me be homeless tonight."

Fortunately, the place to stay did not disappoint Nanqu.

Nanqu originally wanted a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), and now it seems that he was right.

Moreover, the house looks quite understated while the facilities are very new, suggesting it was either newly built or renovated.

When Nanqu entered, she saw two people cleaning.

The driver came in from outside and said hurriedly, "Mother, wife, this is our new employer."

Wow, good heavens! Nanqu asked the registrar to find a few people, and he ended up bringing the whole family here.

However, Nan Qu didn't care much about these things. She just glanced at the house and said, "Take me to see this house first. This is my first time here too."

The coachman immediately said, "Shall my wife take you to see it? My wife isn't very good with words. It's the inner quarters, I'm not comfortable going in there."

Nan Qu nodded: "Let's go."

The coachman's mother quickly put down her broom, wiped her hands with her apron, and greeted him with a respectful smile, saying, "Miss, this way please." She led Nanqu toward the inner courtyard, introducing the place as they went.

Just stepping through the moon gate into the inner courtyard, one enters an exquisite garden. In the center of the garden stands a small artificial hill, beneath which flows a clear pond where several koi carp swim freely.

Walking along the courtyard's covered walkway, the wooden railings are adorned with exquisite carvings, their delicate textures seemingly telling the story of the ingenuity of the craftsmen of yesteryear. Several ancient paintings hang on the walls of the walkway; though not original works by famous artists, their delicate brushstrokes and profound artistic conception add a touch of cultural depth to the courtyard.

Stepping into the main house, the interior is spacious and bright. The floor is paved with flat square tiles, clean and spotless.

Directly opposite the entrance is a carved screen. The wooden screen is carved with the patterns of pine, bamboo and plum, the Three Friends of Winter, symbolizing resilience and noble character.

Passing the screen, inside the room is a set of antique tables and chairs, all made of fine mahogany, with a warm luster and a faint woody fragrance.

The carvings on the tables and chairs are exquisite, with every detail meticulously crafted, showcasing the owner's taste and style.

The adjacent room had been converted into a bedroom. The bed inside was soft and comfortable, with silk curtains that were light, soft, and elegantly colored. Beside the bed was a dressing table with a bronze mirror on it. Although not as clear as a modern mirror, it had a rustic charm. The windows were covered with white paper, and sunlight filtered through the paper, casting soft shadows throughout the room.

Further along is the backyard. Several tall trees stand there, their lush foliage providing shade for the house in the summer. Beneath the trees is an old well, its rim covered in moss, a testament to its age. Beside the well are a bucket and a well pulley for easy access to water. In a corner of the backyard is a small hut used for storage.

As Nan Qu listened to the driver's mother's introduction, she looked around and was quite satisfied with the house. The environment was quiet and the facilities were complete. Although it was not luxurious, it had a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Nanqu finally nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, the registrar had done something decent!

According to the Time-Space Beast, if she could guide this timeline back onto the right track, it would be very beneficial for those little guys.

So, that very evening, Nanqu began to ponder how to proceed.

She's a girl, and fighting isn't suitable for her, but her inn clearly needs rebuilding, and rebuilding requires manpower.

With so many homeless people outside, she should be able to provide some financial assistance, right?

However, before that, it is necessary to ensure that these refugees have not already spread the disease.

Nan Qu sighed. It seemed that in this time and space, she probably wouldn't be able to keep a low profile.

"Of course not. If you keep a low profile, how will others know what good things you've done? If you really want to do good deeds anonymously, others will just steal the credit. Then you'll be crying when the credit goes to someone else."

Nan Qu stopped worrying after hearing this.

The Time-Space Beast is right. Although she came here initially to enjoy the food, now that she can no longer enjoy the food, she should do something meaningful for herself.

Having figured this out, the next day, Nanqu had the coachman fill a cart with water and then threw in two Qi-nourishing pills.

"Let's go, let's go to Zhongsujing first!"

The coachman was taken aback: "Uh, Miss Nan, you can't address Lord Su by his given name so directly."

Nan Qu waved her hand: "It's alright, he can't hear anyway."

The coachman drove the large waterwheel, and Nanqu still sat in the "passenger seat," and the two of them went to the city lord's mansion.

Early in the morning, Su Jing did not go out. Upon hearing that Nan Qu had come looking for him, he actually came over in person.

“Miss Nan, I returned very late yesterday, so I didn’t have time to go to your residence to thank you in person for your generosity and kind reminder. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid Qianlong City would really have become a ruin.”

Nan Qu waved his hand: "I plan to settle down in Qianlong City now. Helping you is helping myself. I don't want to live in this abandoned city."

Su Jing was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. Nan Qu's words were very confident; even if everyone here died, she wouldn't. So it was she who lived in the ruined city, not that she would die along with everyone else.

"May I ask what brings you here today, young lady? If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."

Nan Qu asked, "Did you encounter any patients with fever when you went out yesterday?"

Su Jing answered truthfully, "To be honest, there are indeed some, and I have settled them separately as you suggested. Houses have been built outside the city, and I believe they will settle down soon."

Nanqu nodded: "I'm here today to help you solve a big problem. I have two buckets of medicine here that can treat illnesses. You just need to have everyone drink a bowl, and it will cure the disease and prevent the outbreak of epidemics."

Upon hearing this, Su Jing was extremely excited: "Is it true? If so, then it is a truly miraculous medicine that can save countless lives."

"Of course it's true! Just use it. If you need more, just let me know and I'll send you more!"

Su Jing was extremely excited: "How can I possibly thank you?"

Nan Qu chuckled and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, all you need to do is tell everyone that I provided this medicine, and when they drink it, they should say, 'Thank you, Miss Nan Qu.'"

Su Jing clearly hadn't expected Nan Qu to say that, but she quickly recovered and replied, "Of course, of course."
