Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 89

The reputation of the evil-repelling porridge gradually spread among the people, and more and more people came to the Shen family to receive the porridge.

Madam Wen and all the servants of the Shen family were busy running around, and Shen Lingjun was also helping out at the Shen family.

The purgative porridge was a prescription given by Shen Lingjun. Although she didn't know what kind of magic medicine Liu Manman's medicine was, she was sure that its effects wouldn't be too bad.

Within a few days, the gate of the Shen residence was packed with people every day, and soon the news reached Huimin Pharmacy.

Physician Sun was recently at his wits' end with the plague that was out of control. Hearing that the Shen family had a kind of porridge that was very effective in dispelling evil spirits, he immediately went to ask them for advice again.

It was Shen Lingjun who received him.

Physician Sun asked curiously, "Madam Shen, what kind of medicine is this exorcising porridge used in the Shen household? Why is it so effective?"

Shen Lingjun said, "I dare not accept such praise. It was just a prescription I wrote on my own. I have recently learned a little about medicine, and I happened to come across this plague. I tried to write a prescription and brew some medicine myself. I originally thought that adding it to porridge would make it more nourishing to the body, but I did not expect it to be quite effective against the plague."

As he spoke, he had Dou Niang bring over a bowl of purgative porridge for Physician Sun to see.

Physician Sun smelled it, then took a few sips to carefully examine it. His expression first showed him frowning in thought, then gradually turned into surprise and admiration.

Physician Sun held Shen Lingjun in high esteem.

"Madam Shen is too modest! The recipe for this exorcising porridge is profound and exquisite; it's not something that someone with only a rudimentary understanding of medicine could come up with!"

Shen Lingjun remained humble, saying, "Physician Sun, you flatter me. I was just lucky and stumbled upon this prescription by chance."

Physician Sun praised her even more highly: "That Madam Shen is truly exceptionally talented! She is a medical prodigy!"

Shen Lingjun simply shook his head and smiled, without denying it outright.

She had long planned to take advantage of this plague to spread her reputation for medical skills.

Physician Sun asked earnestly but with a hint of nervousness, "Madam Shen's exorcising porridge is so effective. I wonder if you would be willing to sell the prescription to Huimin Pharmacy so that they can also distribute more exorcising porridge to the disaster victims?"

This is the second time he has requested a prescription in the past few days.

Having been rejected by Liu Manman once before, he was inevitably nervous this time.

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "What do you mean by selling or not? Just take the prescription. It is my duty as a citizen of Beiyi to contribute to quelling this plague. There are so many people in the Shen family. Everyone is working day and night to cook porridge. They are all exhausted and wish they could share this burden."

Physician Sun's eyes reddened, and he stood up solemnly, bowing respectfully to Shen Lingjun.

"Madam Shen, on behalf of the countless disaster victims, I thank you for your great kindness."

Thank goodness for Mrs. Shen!

While it's understandable that Liu Manman was unwilling to provide the prescription, this comparison makes Shen Lingjun's understanding of righteousness and her commendable character all the more apparent.

Shen Lingjun hurriedly went to help Imperial Physician Sun up: "Imperial Physician Sun, please rise! You're making me feel terrible!..."

While listening to the endless praise and compliments from Physician Sun, Shen Lingjun quickly wrote a prescription for a porridge to dispel evil spirits and sent Physician Sun away.

Soon, Huimin Pharmacy also began to prepare the porridge to ward off evil spirits and distribute it to the disaster victims.

If you don't add rice and cook it into porridge, but only make it into a medicinal soup, the medicinal effect is the same, so it's called the Evil-Expelling Soup.

After obtaining Shen Lingjun's consent, Physician Sun also made the recipe for the Evil-Expelling Decoction public throughout the capital. Anyone who had the means could prepare the medicine themselves according to the recipe, thus relieving the pressure on the Huimin Pharmacy.

This time, the plague finally showed signs of being suppressed.

The names of the Shen family and Shen Lingjun spread throughout the entire capital.
