Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 21

Chapter 021 Sister Shu of the Virgin
Bai Junzhuo regained his senses and quickly followed after the granny.

Upon arriving at the matriarch’s room, Bai Junzhuo hurriedly bowed and said to Mrs. Zou and Elder Sister Shu Bai Juntao, “Grandma, Elder Sister, you’re back.”

‘”Zhuo’er, get up!” Grandma looked at Bai Junzhuo lovingly and asked someone to help Bai Junzhuo up. “I’ve already heard from servants that so many things have happened in the Bai Clan in the past six months. Poor Gonglu, let’s go. That loser from the A.D. Family … Ah, Zhuo’er, you’ve done well these days. Grandma is very happy.”

“This is what Zhuo’er should do.” Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and said modestly, not looking at her.

“It’s just that Grandma doesn’t know one thing,” the matriarch changed her tone and asked, “where did you get the money for the waiter?”

Bai Junzhuo narrowed his eyes. “It was Zhuo’er who sold her mother’s dowry …”

‘”Well,” Old Lady nodded. “Actually, you and your father don’t know anything. The money your concubine mother Lin took away is only a small portion of the Bai family’s property. Most of it is still in my hands. Now that I’m back, you can take some money and redeem your mother’s dowry.”

What? Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly. How could she redeem the non-existent dowry? !

She lowered her head slightly and said in a deep voice, “Grandma … no need, it’s all for the Bai Clan, I…”

“Enough!” The granny, who had been smiling kindly, suddenly changed her expression. “Do you think I don’t know how much dowry your mother brought when she married into the Bai Manor? That little thing can be exchanged for so much money? Do you think I don’t know if you sold the medicine hall? Zhuo’er, you’re just fooling your grandmother like that?”

“Grandma” Bai Junzhuo knelt down and explained in a low voice, “Grandma, so am I. There’s nothing I can do about it. At that time, the entire Bai Clan was in danger of being divided into nine races. I have no choice but to …”

“You have to?” Madam Zou tightly gripped the walking stick in his hand and stood up. “That’s the Bai Clan’s Medicinal Hall! The Bai Clan’s foundation for a hundred years! It’s even more important than the lives of the Bai Clan. You sold it in just a few words?!”

“The crime of deceiving a monarch is one of nine clans! Grandma, if it weren’t for that person helping me at that time, the entire Bai Clan, including you, would all …”

“You should still talk back?!” Madam Zou raised his cane and pointed at Bai Junzhuo. “Someone, shut her down and shut the ancestral hall to repent. You can’t eat for three days!”

“Grandma” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly raised his head to look at Madam Zou, but Madam Zou turned around and ignored her.

After Bai Junzhuo was taken away, Bai Juntao, who had been silent all this while, stepped forward to support Madam Zou and said, “Grandma, don’t be angry. In that case, Third Sister might really have no other choice. Please spare Third Sister.”

“You are just too generous!” Madam Zou sighed helplessly. “Your cousin won’t come back, and Zhuo’er doesn’t know anything about the management of the medicine hall. Grandma wants to give this medicine hall to you, but you can’t have such a temper. When it’s time to be strict, you have to be strict. Even if it’s your sister, you can’t cover it up.”

Bai Juntao smiled and said, “After all, Third Sister is still young and has been refining medicine behind Daddy for a long time. I wonder how important the Bai Clan’s Medicine Hall is to our Bai Clan. Grandma, don’t make things too difficult for her.”

Madam Zou nodded to Bai Juntao, “They are all my granddaughters. I am also reluctant to punish her. I just want her to remember the lesson. Tomorrow at noon, you can release her.”

“Then Tao’er should thank Grandma on behalf of Third Sister.” Bai Juntao lowered her head slightly. Madam Zou did not see the look in her eyes.

Deep into the night, the high platform in front of Bai Junzhuo was filled with the spirit seats of the Bai Clan’s ancestors. Two candles on the left and right were flickering with faint yellow flames.

After kneeling for a while, Bai Junzhuo noticed that the surroundings weren’t staring at him. He sat on the cushion and pinched his aching legs. Her stomach cried out in discomfort. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn’t eaten dinner yet.

Suddenly, Bai Junzhuo heard the sound of footsteps. She hurriedly knelt down. A moment later, someone pushed open the window. Xingzi climbed in from outside the window and ran to Bai Junzhuo with a food box in his hand. His eyes were red as he said, “Miss, you’ve suffered …”

“Why are you here?” Bai Junzhuo asked softly.

“Don’t worry, Miss. The nanny guarding the door is already asleep. Riko is guarding her. Come, Miss, hurry up and eat something.”

Bai Junzhuo was very touched and picked up a piece of cake to eat.

“Miss” Xingzi looked at Bai Junzhuo with a hesitant expression.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Junzhuo asked.

“Miss … Actually, when the matriarch first came back, “This servant and Riko wanted to go out to inform you, but at that time, the eldest young miss suddenly sent someone over. They said that there were too few servants in the young miss’ courtyard, only Riko and I. They were asked to serve the young miss with us. After they came, they pestered this servant and Riko for various reasons, not letting us go out to inform the young miss.”

Bai Jun lowered his head, and the dim candlelight cast a shadow on her face.

Xingzi did not know what she was thinking. She continued, “In the evening, this servant and Lizi drugged them so that they could fall asleep before coming over. However, don’t worry, Miss, those servants have just been sold from outside. They don’t know anything about medical skills and won’t suspect this servant.”

Bai Junzhuo smiled. In the original owner’s memory, this Bai Juntao had always been a generous and kind eldest sister who was considerate to her. Now, it seemed that she really was.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Bai Junzhuo whispered to Xing Zi. “After experiencing so many things, I know how big sister treats me.”

“Miss …” Xingzi curled his lips and looked at Bai Junzhuo wrongly. “Young miss is clearly not a good person. This servant …”

“You girl!” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly covered her mouth. “Did I say that big sister treated me well? She just came back, and I made grandma angry again. Even if I knew that she treated me badly, can I tell her clearly?”

Xingzi blinked his eyes, as if he didn’t understand.

Suddenly, two crickets came from outside. Xingzi hurriedly said, “Miss, this servant has to go. Someone is coming.”

Bai Junzhuo put away the lunch box and handed it to Xing Zi. Xing Zi immediately carried the lunch box and climbed out of the window.

A moment later, Bai Juntao pushed open the door and walked slowly to Bai Junzhuo. Her eyes were filled with concern as she said, “Third sister, you’ve suffered.”

The corner of Bai Junzhuo’s mouth curled into a faint smile, “Big Sister, you’ve worked hard to take care of Grandma for the past six months. It’s just that Grandma and I split up. Once we return, we’ll be locked up in the ancestral hall.”

Bai Juntao smiled and said, “Third Sister, Grandma is really angry. Third Sister, please don’t blame Grandma. But don’t worry, Third Sister, I’ve already begged Grandma for love. I’ll let you out at noon tomorrow.”

Bai Junzhuo raised his head and smiled at her, “Really? Thank you, big sister, big sister is so kind to me!”

Looking up, Bai Juntao looked at Bai Junzhuo’s burning face by the candlelight. It had only been half a year since she saw her. This girl had already taken off a bit of the young girl’s tenderness, becoming even brighter and more attractive. Her eyes couldn’t help but darken.

“Naturally” Bai Juntao said, “Oh right, I wonder who my sister sold the medicine hall to?”

Bai Junzhuo glanced at her faintly. With Madam Zou’s ability, it was impossible not to know who she had sold it to. At this moment, Bai Juntao was pretending to inquire. She would probably go out from the ancestral hall tomorrow at noon and look for her owner to return to the Medicine Hall.

“That person has vast divine abilities. He saved the Bai Clan from fire and water, but I don’t know exactly who he is.”

Bai Juntao’s expression changed slightly. Mrs. Zou sent someone to investigate the person who sold the medicine hall as soon as she returned. The person she sent could not get close to him at all. She could only rely on Bai Junzhuo to negotiate with that person to return to the medicine hall. Now that Bai Junzhuo had said this, how could she believe it?

Bai Juntao thought for a moment, but did not say anything straightforward, “Then Zhuo’er might talk to him and take back the Medicine Hall?”

As expected!

“Why should I take it back?” Bai Junzhuo turned to Bai Juntao and smiled. “Not only is he rich, he also has friendship with the satrap. I think it’s a good thing that the Medicine Hall is under his name. Although he bought the Medicine Hall, he still let me take care of it. I’m also the daughter of the Bai Clan. Isn’t this equivalent to the Medicine Hall still belonging to the Bai Clan?”

Of course, Bai Juntao knew that, but it was precisely because of this that she wanted to take back the Medicine Hall! Because this medicine hall belonged to the Bai Clan, it couldn’t be hers!

“Little sister, you should take back the Medicine Hall. After all, Grandma can’t pass this trial.”

“Don’t worry, I will analyze the pros and cons with Grandma tomorrow. I believe Grandma will understand.” Bai Junzhuo blinked and continued, “Or do you think it’s inappropriate for me to manage the Medicine Hall?”

At this moment, Bai Juntao, who was lowering her head, was slightly shocked. In a blink of an eye, she lifted her head and smiled, “Third sister, you misunderstood. Although eldest sister is the eldest daughter, she is still a concubine. You should be in charge of this Medicine Hall.” “In the past, it was Grandma who saw you as young and took care of you with my mother and me. Now that you have grown up, there have been a lot of things going on these days. You have also managed the Medicine Hall properly. Sister, it is too late to be happy for you. How can you feel that it is inappropriate?”

After saying that, he paused and stared at the smiling Bai Junzhuo. He continued, “However, this medicine hall is after all the Bai Clan’s hundred years of hard work. Although on the surface it is the Bai Clan’s medicine hall, the owner has already changed. It is indeed inappropriate for our own medicine hall to work for someone else. Grandma is definitely unwilling. Elder sister is worried, so I advised you to redeem the medicine hall. I didn’t want to let younger sister misunderstand.”

“Oh, so it’s like this. So I misunderstood big sister. Sure enough, big sister is still that big sister who loves people.” As Bai Junzhuo said this, he yawned, “It’s getting late. Big sister should go back early, so as not to be seen by Grandma’s people and punish big sister.”

Bai Juntao’s throat twitched slightly, but she didn’t say anything else. She looked at Bai Junzhuo strangely. Why was her performance tonight completely different from the previous Bai Junzhuo? She always felt that her pure smile was full of sharpness!

“Since that’s the case, elder sister will take her leave.” Bai Juntao turned around and left, and the delicate expression on her face disappeared completely.

Previously, he thought that Bai Junzhuo was a harmless little rabbit and only knew to study medicine behind his father. I haven’t seen him for half a year, but I’ve already hit the head of the Medicine Hall!

Bai Juntao stood in front of the ancestral hall for a while and said to the night sky, “Third sister, big sister can’t keep you anymore.”
