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

Chapter 92

He angrily rebuked her, "How dare you say that here! Whether she was lucky or not, she still made a great contribution. And you? We asked you to hand over the prescription, but you refused no matter what! If you had handed over the prescription, we would be the ones going to the palace to receive our reward right now!"

Liu Manman shrank back as she was scolded, feeling guilty and resentful, but mostly she was unconvinced.

"Haven't I made any contribution? Didn't my medicine save so many people before? It's just that the Shen family came later and overshadowed all my achievements! This is not fair!"

Qin Shaoze was too lazy to argue with her anymore.

Liu Manman did make contributions, and no one denies them. The people who were cured by her medicine are very grateful to her.

But the problem is, that's not enough!

What he wanted was the most illustrious reputation, tangible rewards from the imperial court, and the emperor's praise and commendation!

All of this now belongs to Shen Lingjun and the Shen family; he didn't get a single thing!

Qin Shaoze now felt disgusted and annoyed by Liu Manman and didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he turned around and left.

Liu Manman was filled with resentment and distress, and she stomped her feet in anger.

She was filled with resentment and locked herself in her room for half a day. Eventually, she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go out for some fresh air and to clear her head.

Because she didn't want to be recognized and gossiped about, Liu Manman changed into ordinary clothes and wore a homemade mask.

Many people in Kyoto are wearing masks lately, so she doesn't stand out at all.

She wandered aimlessly through the streets and, without realizing it, found herself outside the Shen residence.

The plague is almost over, but long queues still form outside the Shen residence, with people praising the Shen family and Shen Lingjun endlessly.

Liu Manman listened from the side, her face growing increasingly grim.

These ungrateful bastards!

Her medicine saved so many people, but because she didn't hand over the prescription, these people all forgot about her and were now thanking Shen Lingjun instead!

She's almost run out of medicine, but hasn't gained much fame in return!

These ungrateful wretches aren't worth saving at all!

Liu Manman's gaze fell on the two large pots placed at the entrance of the Shen residence.

Both large pots were filled with porridge to ward off evil spirits, and several servants were serving the porridge to the people.

A thought popped into Liu Manman's mind.

If something goes wrong with the Shen family's exorcising porridge... if there's a medical accident, will the people still be grateful to Shen Lingjun?

She has a cheat device that allows her to manipulate space, so doing this is incredibly easy for her.

Once the thought popped into her head, Liu Manman could no longer suppress it.

She bought a headscarf from a woman, wrapped herself up tightly, put on a mask, and then mingled into the line for the porridge to ward off evil spirits.

When it was her turn, she quietly took out a large handful of blood sugar-lowering powder from the pharmacy's storage space.

These ancient people, who were often hungry, generally didn't have very high blood sugar levels. If they took this blood sugar-lowering drug, it would definitely knock out a large number of them.

But Liu Manman thought about it and realized that the blood sugar-lowering medication wasn't effective enough. If the patients fainted due to low blood sugar, Shen Lingjun could then say they were just too hungry, thus absolving himself of responsibility for the exorcising porridge.

So Liu Manman brought out a large handful of atropine powder.

Atropine is a toxic drug; 5 to 10 milligrams can cause poisoning in adults. Symptoms of poisoning include fever, dry mouth, headache, and dilated pupils. In severe cases, it can lead to hallucinations, confusion, coma, and even death.
