Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

In the previous life, a similar epidemic broke out earlier this year.

However, the difference is that the source of the last epidemic did not start in Changye like it does today, but first spread outward from the capital.

Shen Jingwan was canonized as a county lord by Emperor Jing because of her contribution of a prescription that could control the epidemic.

In her previous life, Shen Jingwan had been taught very well by Shen Qingjiang and Old Madam Shen outside the mansion, and was quite famous for her talent in the capital.

Because of her status as a county lady, she was taken back to the Shen Mansion.

At the beginning of the year, Shen Chuning specifically asked Birui, who was in the capital, to pay attention to see if there were any signs of an epidemic.

However, from the beginning of the year until September, there was no sign of the epidemic.

So, Shen Chuning gradually felt relieved, thinking that perhaps things were different from her previous life.

Unexpectedly, another epidemic broke out in Changye.

But, is the epidemic that broke out in Changye the same one as in the previous life?

In the previous life, did it also come from the Third Prince’s Mansion?

You know, in his previous life, Xiao Yuanlang was not exiled to Changye, but stayed in the capital.

Just as Shen Chuning fell into deep thought, Ning Shutong's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her chaotic thoughts: "You go back, I'm going to prepare to unpack the boxes."

Hearing this, Shen Chuning came back to her senses instantly. She subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her face turning pale. She hurriedly said, "Don't open it. Just burn it."

Before she finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed the box on the table.

After all, in the previous life, the epidemic claimed the lives of countless innocent people.

At this moment, Ning Shutong's hand quickly pressed on the box, his deep eyes staring at Shen Chuning, "A Ning, do you believe me?"

Facing Ning Shutong's firm gaze, Shen Chuning was slightly stunned and nodded involuntarily.

Ning Shutong's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly: "Just trust me, I was the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley back then!"

Hearing this, Shen Chuning couldn't help but burst out laughing and said jokingly, "How dare you bring up things that happened before you were three years old?"

The two smiled at each other, and the originally solemn atmosphere instantly became relaxed and joyful.

Ning Shutong turned to look at Cuiwei beside him and whispered, "Cuiwei, take your young lady out."

Cuiwei nodded in agreement and then led Shen Chuning out the door.

Ning Shutong personally escorted her all the way out of the courtyard. After making sure that Shen Chuning had gone far away, he carefully closed the courtyard door, took out an exquisite copper lock, and carefully locked the door from the inside.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath, turned around and slowly returned to the room.

He walked steadily to the table, calmed himself down, and reached out to pick up the small hammer on the table.

Ning Shutong held the small hammer tightly, his eyes focused on the tightly sealed box in front of him.

After a brief pause, he raised the hammer and smashed it without hesitation at the wax shell sealing the box.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and the wax shell shattered into countless tiny fragments that scattered all over the ground.

……

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, Shen Chuning was looking at the account book of Hengfu Money House that was delivered by Cui Shi. There was a lot more silver on the account of the money house.

At this moment, a figure staggered in front of everyone.

This person was Ning Shutong. His hair was disheveled like weeds, and his face was covered in dirt and fatigue.

The clothes on his body were in tatters, and the cuffs were burnt and stained with brown medicine.

Shen Chuning couldn't help but frown, pinching her nose and taking several steps back. "I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you get yourself into this state?"

In the past seven days, if the servants who came to deliver meals every day had not said that the food left at the door had been taken away, Shen Chuning would probably have thought that he had met with an accident long ago.

"I only know how to make poisons and medicines, not boil them, so it took a little longer. Ahem... I look a little worse for wear too."

After Ning Shutong finished speaking, he walked straight to the table and sat down.

Then without saying a word, he reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, opened his mouth and drank it.

However, because he drank too quickly, he suddenly choked shortly after the tea entered his throat and started coughing violently, his entire face turning red.

Seeing this, Shen Chuning scolded: "Drink slowly, no one is competing with you! Really..."

After Ning Shutong finished coughing, he picked up the teapot on the table again and drank the water in big gulps.

He drank all the water in the pot and then put down the teapot in his hand with satisfaction.

Then, he carefully took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, slowly handed it to Shen Chuning, and said, "This is the prescription that can cure this epidemic."

Shen Chuning quickly reached out to take it. She took a closer look and found that the handwriting on it was crooked and messy, almost like a ghost's scribbles that was difficult to recognize.

She raised her head and glared at Ning Shuyi fiercely, then asked angrily, "What on earth are you writing? I can't understand a single word."

Ning Shutong glanced casually at the prescription and replied nonchalantly, "As long as the pharmacist can understand it, it doesn't matter whether you can recognize it or not."

Hearing this, Shen Chuning was stunned at first, then thought about it and realized that it was true.

After a moment of silence, Shen Chuning asked thoughtfully, "Is it difficult to cure this disease?"

After all, it is understandable that the doctors in Changye and Linwei were helpless against the epidemic. After all, these two places are relatively remote, and the medical skills of local doctors are naturally relatively limited.

However, this epidemic is most likely the same as the one in the previous life.

Back then, the epidemic was spreading wildly in the capital, and even the imperial doctors were helpless against it.

It was also because of this that when Shen Jingwan later offered the prescription, she was given the title of County Lady.

"Difficult? Difficult!!" Ning Shutong said exaggeratedly, "I dare say that no one except me can prepare the prescription in such a short time."

After all, very few doctors would infect themselves with such a dangerous disease before prescribing a medicine.

If he really didn't know how to make medicine, it would have been even faster.

Moreover, there is another medicinal ingredient in the prescription, which is prepared in his own way.

Since it is so difficult, where did Shen Jingwan get the prescription in her previous life?

As far as she knew, Shen Jingwan didn't know any medical skills. Could it be that there was someone helping her behind the scenes?
