Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 116
Chapter 116 See You Again, Egg Flower Soup
Mrs. Zou said, “I still have one last condition.”
“What conditions?”
Madam Zou paused for a moment before continuing, “Grandma knows about your abilities these days. I’ll leave the Medicine Hall to you. Grandma can rest assured. However, you are still inexperienced and somewhat immature in some matters. Therefore, I want you to find yourself a helper.”
“I already have Uncle Liu. There are also a few people left behind in the Medicine Hall who have fought in the Bai Manor for decades. They will definitely be able to rely on them.” Bai Junzhuo said immediately.
Mrs. Zou shook her head, “Although Liu Shun and the others are diligent and diligent, they only obey orders. If you want the Bai Clan Medicine Hall to continue to exist, you need someone who knows how to do business and has a lot of experience.”
Bai Junzhuo pondered for a while and muttered, “Where should I find it?”
At this moment, Nurse He came in and reported, “Old Lady, Lord Cha sent someone to invite Third Miss.”
Bai Junzhuo stood up and said, “It just so happens that I’m going to see him too. Grandma, I’ll go first.”
Mrs. Zou nodded. Bai Junzhuo followed Mother He out and rushed to the prefecture capital.
When they arrived at the prefecture capital, the yamen attendant immediately brought Bai Junzhuo to the prison. Cha Jinzhi was already there.
“Lord Cha.” Bai Junzhuo bowed slightly.
Cha Jinzhi hurriedly turned to look at her, signaling for her to be exempt from courtesy. Then, he pointed at the few remaining people in the prison, “Miss Bai’s method is indeed useful. The situation of those who are willing to be locked up here has greatly improved, and even those who are unconscious have returned to normal.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly and asked, “What do you mean by willing to be locked up here?”
Cha Jinzhi said, “After Maiden Xuan died, most people were unwilling to let their children be imprisoned. They begged for a few days before the state capital. I had no choice but to let them go.”
Bai Junzhuo remembered what they had said to her when they first met the three hunters. At that time, when he had just left Luoyang, Cha Jinzhi had already released them all. Back then, he still couldn’t figure it out, but now he knew that it was like this.
“Then why did my second uncle kill my father?” Bai Junzhuo stared at Zha Jinzhi and asked coldly.
“Miss Bai said that the real culprit was someone else, but that day the witness insisted that it was Second Master Bai. Second Master Bai committed suicide in prison again, and there was no evidence to prove it.” Cha Jinzhi explained, “In addition, Bai Old Lady also came forward to prove that it was Second Master Bai who did this. That’s why I sentenced him like this.”
“What?” Bai Junzhuo was shocked, “Grandma came forward to testify that Second Uncle killed Daddy?”
Cha Jinzhi nodded.
Bai Junzhuo fell into deep thought. What the hell was Madam Zou doing?
After a moment of silence, a person suddenly stood up and walked to the prison gate and said to Cha Jinzhi, “Lord Cha, my condition has improved. Can I leave?”
Cha Jinzhi didn’t know either. He turned to look at Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo regained his senses and looked at the person who was speaking. The man was around twenty years old. He looked really clear-headed and didn’t show any signs of poisoning.
Bai Junzhuo looked at him for a long time and asked curiously, “Who is this person? Why does he look so familiar?”
Hearing Bai Junzhuo’s words, the jailer answered, “This one is Shen Ze’s nephew from Shen Ji Medicine Hall. His name is Jia Shantang. I also feel that the girl looks very familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before.”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly remembered that this person was the Egg Flower Soup that he had encountered while visiting Shen Mansion day and night! She didn’t even recognize him when he was dressed like a dog.
“Egg Flower Soup, are you really ready?”
When Jia Shantang heard this address, she had a vague impression. After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with it. She scratched her head embarrassedly and said to Bai Junzhuo, “So you are Miss Bai. You accidentally ate the Cold Food Powder before, and you became addicted to it. You ate too much and lost your mind, making the girl laugh.”
Bai Junzhuo turned to Cha Jinzhi and said, “Lord Cha, can I diagnose him?”
“Of course.”
Jia Shantang stretched out her hand and Bai Junzhuo checked his pulse for a while.
How much perseverance and endurance would it take to control the drug addiction and completely cure it? This Egg Flower Soup was not simple either.
After a long time, Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “As long as you don’t continue to take this medicine, you can gradually control it. Young Master should be able to completely control yourself now. As long as you clear the remaining poison in your body, there will be no more problems.”
Jia Shantang smiled and asked Cha Jinzhi, “Lord Cha, can Xiaomin leave now?”
Cha Jinzhi looked at Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo nodded. Cha Jinzhi ordered someone to open the cell door and release Jia Shantang.
Jia Shantang cupped her hands and said to Bai Junzhuo, “I also heard in prison that Miss Bai was the one who gave us the medicine and came up with the method to control our addiction. Jia Shantang thanked her here.”
Bai Junzhuo smiled at him and turned to ask Cha Jinzhi, “Lord Cha, is there anything else besides telling me the truth about some things today?”
Cha Jinzhi shook his head, “Although there’s nothing else, but …”
“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” Bai Junzhuo greeted Cha Jinzhi and walked out of the prison with Jia Shantang.
Even though Cha Jin’s words had reached his mouth, he still did not say anything. He only looked at Bai Junzhuo’s back with a slight sadness.
After leaving the prison, Jia Shantang asked, “Does Miss Bai have something to say to me?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded. After she knew that this person was Egg Flower Soup, she thought of the person Madam Zou had mentioned who could help him do business with. In terms of business, no one in Luoyang City could compare to Shen Ze. Therefore, she wondered if she could start with the Egg Flower Soup and keep Shen Ze in her pocket.
“How is your uncle now?” Bai Junzhuo asked.
Jia Shantang thought about it carefully and replied, “I’ve been in prison for a few days. I don’t know how my uncle is. If Miss Bai is worried about my uncle, why don’t you come with me to the Shen mansion?”
Just as Bai Junzhuo had this intention, he rushed to Shen Mansion with Jia Shantang.
Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the Shen mansion. However, they hadn’t seen each other for half a month. The outside of the Shen mansion was already extremely ashen, and the guards at the entrance were nowhere to be found. At first glance, it looked like they were on par with when the Bai family was in trouble.
Bai Junzhuo and Jia Shantang were a little surprised. Jia Shantang hurriedly knocked on the door and pushed open the door without locking it.
Bai Junzhuo also followed. It was only when they arrived that they discovered that the Shen Mansion was actually in such a dilapidated state that not a single servant could see it.
“Eldest Uncle, are you here?” Jia Shantang shouted loudly, but no one answered him.
He couldn’t accept such a big change. He looked around in panic. He didn’t see anyone and sat on the ground dejectedly. He muttered to himself, “How is that possible? How is that possible?”
Bai Junzhuo was also confused. After thinking for a while, he felt that the reason why the Shen Clan was able to break through to such a state in such a short period of time must be because of the Cold Food Powder. In the end, it was also because he had used flour to exchange for the Cold Food Powder he had prepared without Shen Ze’s knowledge that he had suffered such a loss.
Bai Junzhuo felt a little guilty in his heart. He stepped forward and comforted, “Egg Flower Soup, don’t be too sad. Calamity befalls people …”
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a “creak” sound coming from the door, and the smell of alcohol rushed in first.
Bai Junzhuo stopped talking and turned around to look. Shen Rui walked in with the drunk Shen Ze. Seeing Bai Junzhuo and Jia Shantang slightly startled, Shen Rui angrily said to Bai Junzhuo, “Why are you here, woman?”
Jia Shantang hurriedly stood up and helped Shen Rui to support Shen Ze. She was puzzled, “Second Uncle, what exactly happened? Why did the Shen Manor become like this?”
Shen Rui pointed at Bai Junzhuo and said, “Isn’t it all because of this woman that she destroyed the Hanshi Powder prepared by her brother? Do you know how valuable the Hanshi Powder is? Because of the Hanshi Powder, our Shen Clan has suffered a huge loss!”
Bai Junzhuo was indeed guilty, but hearing Shen Rui’s words, he was immediately dissatisfied and said coldly, “Do you know what the Cold Food Powder is?” Could it be that in order for your Shen Clan to make money, Luoyang City’s drugs are going to spread and become miasma? “Furthermore, the Imperial Court has ordered that such things as the Cold Food Powder are not allowed to be sold. If I hadn’t destroyed the Cold Food Powder in your mansion earlier, you would definitely have been traded by the nine races!”
“You’re blabbering!” Shen Rui shouted.
“Second Uncle, what Miss Bai said is true.” Jia Shantang supported Shen Ze and said to Shen Rui, “I ate too much Cold Food Powder during that period of time, so I lost my mind. This thing is really harmful, destroying it is the right thing to do!”
Shen Rui glares at him and says angrily, “You actually speak for outsiders?”
“I’m just helping.” Jia Shantang said.
Shen Rui’s expression darkened as he said to Bai Junzhuo, “You can leave. Our Shen Clan doesn’t welcome you!”
Bai Junzhuo looked at the drunken Shen Ze. She didn’t need such a person in the Bai Clan Medicine Hall. She coldly snorted and walked outside. When she passed by Shen Rui, she suddenly stopped. She swept across Shen Ze’s entire body and said, “He’s still poisoned. He still drinks like this. He probably won’t be able to live for a few days. If your Shen Clan is really in trouble, I can give you some coffin money.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Rui glared at Bai Junzhuo angrily, as if he was going to kill Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo would never say such vicious words, but he was just unhappy with Shen Rui. You can be stupid, but you can’t be stupid, bad-hearted, and self-righteous. Didn’t Shen Rui mean to harm the people of Luoyang City just now, as long as his Shen Clan earned money?
Hmph, if such a person wasn’t angry, he wouldn’t be able to dispel the hatred in his heart.
Jia Shantang also knew a little about medicine. Hearing Bai Junzhuo’s words, she immediately pressed down on Shen Ze’s pulse and said to the furious Shen Rui, “Second Uncle, don’t get angry. Miss Bai is telling the truth. Uncle’s body is really poisonous, and it’s similar to Hanshi San, an addictive poison!”
Shen Rui was speechless. He knew that it was difficult for the Shen Clan to survive now, and Shen Ze’s current situation was even worse. He didn’t know what to do.
Jia Shantang turned to look at Bai Junzhuo and said, “Miss Bai, I know that you have excellent medical skills. Please treat your uncle!”
Bai Junzhuo was still a little angry and snorted coldly, “Save him? My medical fee is very expensive. Can the Shen Clan afford it?”
