Chapter 214: Chapter 100: Journey to Chongqing (21) The Outbreak of Conflict between Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi_3

In the two hours it took to treat Bai Mowan’s injury, her wounds were almost fully healed.

She was just a bit sleepy.

Everything else was fine.

She figured that after taking a bath, enjoying a big meal, and resting a little until Pang Nan returns, she could then head back to the plague area without much issue.

Thinking so.

The servant from Pang Mansion quickly brought her hot water and prepared clean clothes for her.

Of course, there were also servants to help her bathe.

Ye Qichi took a comfortable bath and, after changing into clean clothes, had a large meal.

After eating, she became even sleepier.

Ye Qichi collapsed onto the bed beside her and fell asleep.

Until.

Knocking sounds came from outside the door.

"Miss Ye, it’s Pang Nan at your service."

So, Pang Nan had returned.

Ye Qichi got out of bed.

Despite wishing she could sleep forever, she made herself sit up.

She walked to the door and opened it.

Pang Nan had just returned from outside and had not had a chance to clean himself up yet.

Not only were his clothes stained with dirt and blood, but his expression also showed his exhaustion.

"Is everything taken care of?" Ye Qichi asked.

Pang Nan saw Ye Qichi’s just-awoken appearance.

Her hair was uncombed, her smooth, pitch-black hair loosely draped over her, she was wearing a gauze dress, which had not been coupled with an overcoat, and beneath the gauze dress, her body seemed somewhat visible through sheer fabric.

Pang Nan dared not look further.

He hurriedly turned away.

Ye Qichi noticed something odd about Pang Nan and took a closer look, noticing his ears had turned red.

She looked down at her own attire.

It seemed appropriate enough?! No exposure at all?! How prudish were ancient people!

Ye Qichi was speechless.

Turning back into her room, she put on her overcoat then came out, "Alright, Sir Pang, you can turn back around now."

Only then did Pang Nan turn around, still not daring to look directly at Ye Qichi, his gaze fixed on her feet, appearing very restrained.

"Everything Miss Ye tasked me with, I’ve managed to take care of. All the plague patients are now quarantined in three public ancestral halls in the city; the halls are large, and it’s not a problem for them to stay there. I am also securing blankets and food supplies to ensure their sustenance," Pang Nan reported respectfully, "As for the Bai Family soldiers, I’ve settled them in another residence of mine, and have sent people to take care of them."

"Did you tally the numbers? How many people died this time?" Ye Qichi asked.

"I did. There are 549 plague-infected commoners out, with 274 deceased. Most are elderly over the age of fifty. We’re registering a detailed list now," Pang Nan replied, "32 Bai Family soldiers died, leaving only 18."

Ye Qichi had somewhat expected this.

She knew that when the Bai Family soldiers were coming and going, there would surely be significant losses.

But given the circumstances and that the soldiers wouldn’t follow her commands, there was nothing she could do.

She shifted the topic, "What about the medicinal materials? Where are they now?!"

Right now, it’s most important that the medicine arrives, to treat the plague survivors.

Pang Nan’s eyes flickered.

For a moment, he said nothing.

Ye Qichi frowned, body recovering and mind alert, she immediately noticed something off about Pang Nan, "Is there a problem with the medicinal materials?!"

Pang Nan nodded gravely.

"What happened?" Ye Qichi’s expression turned severe.

She had already found it odd that the medicinal materials hadn’t arrived on time.

But she hadn’t thought too much about it.

After all, a lot had happened, and there wasn’t the time to ponder deeply.

Pang Nan didn’t know how to explain!

"Sir Pang, if you have something to say, please speak up," Ye Qichi’s tone chilled a bit.

Pang Nan quickly knelt down, "It’s my incompetence. During the transport of the medicinal materials, Chen Hezhi found us out. He sent people to hijack all of my materials, and now their whereabouts are unknown."

Ye Qichi’s face shifted abruptly.

So, all the medicinal materials are gone?!

She forced herself to stay calm.

To cool down.

She also knew that aside from what had happened, Pang Nan did not do it intentionally.

But she still didn’t understand, how could Chen Hezhi possibly have found out about their collection of medicinal materials?! Shouldn’t he have been focusing on capturing Xiao Jinxing? How could this have been discovered?

"I also urgently sent people to purchase more medicinal materials last night. But the moment we went to buy, we had already purchased all the medicinal materials in the vicinity, and to collect more in such a short time may be difficult. Nevertheless, I will do everything in my power to find them!" Pang Nan stated emphatically, his voice full of self-reproach.
