Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 25

Chapter 025 Why Did He Suffer Again
“Big Boss” Bai Junzhuo said in a deep voice, “I haven’t settled the matter with him about the spies. Let’s take care of this business first, and take care of the rest.”

Shen Ji Medicine Hall had also developed for decades in Luoyang. Although it was inferior to the Bai Clan Medicine Hall, its strength could not be underestimated. Originally, when the locust plague occurred in Luoyang, the Bai Clan had cooperated with Shen Ji. However, Bai Gonglu wanted to gather the medicinal ingredients of the two clans together to treat the victims, but Shen Ze, the head of the Shen Clan, wanted to raise the price of the medicine and earn a fortune. Since then, the Bai Clan had never cooperated with Shen Ji again.

Bai Junzhuo invited Shen Ji’er to a private seat on the second floor of the Fragrant Tea Building. After Shen Rui came, he directly asked, “Third Miss Bai, I also know that Miss wants to talk about Shang Lu. However, this matter is handled by big brother. It’s useless for you to invite me over.”

Bai Junzhuo smiled and poured a glass of wine for Shen Rui. “Second Master Shen, do you also agree that Master Shen will lower the price of your Shen Ji’s Phytolacca by half?” He said.

Shen Rui’s expression was heavy, and he didn’t say anything for a long time.

Bai Junzhuo continued, “In order to go against the Bai Clan, it doesn’t matter if our clan loses so much money?”

Shen Rui sighed, “Miss Bai, I understand what you said. However, it’s useless for you to tell me. I don’t care about this matter.”

Bai Junzhuo did not dwell on this matter anymore. Instead, he said, “I heard that Second Master Shen is the direct son of the Shen Clan. Did Second Master Shen’s mother become a flat wife after Second Master’s mother passed away?”

Bai Junzhuo’s voice was faint, but Shen Rui’s gaze sank. He asked in an unfriendly tone, “What do you want to say?”

“Speaking of which, Second Master Shen and I are very similar,” Bai Junzhuo said with a smile. “However, I am luckier than Second Master Shen. Daddy did not mention concubine mother as his wife. His wife has always been only my mother. Now, I have obtained the same rights as Eldest Sister to manage the medicine hall through my own efforts.”

Shen Rui frowned slightly as he slapped the table and stood up. “Since Third Miss Bai has nothing else to do, I’ll take my leave.”

“Wait,” Bai Junzhuo slowly stood up and looked into Shen Rui’s eyes. “Second Master Shen, isn’t the Shen Clan’s medicinal field planted with platycodon grandiflorum and jujube this year? Where did you get seven thousand kilograms of Phytolacca? If you really win this deal, you won’t be able to deliver the goods. If you lose, it’s still your Shen Clan.”

“Thank you, Third Miss Bai, for your kind reminder! However, this is a matter of the Shen Clan. Please don’t trouble Miss Bai!”

“Let me see,” Bai Junzhuo suddenly narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Second Master Shen is trying to make Uncle Shen fall down fiercely and take the Medicine Hall into his own hands.”

“You!” Shen Rui said angrily, “Who said that our Shen Clan can’t take out 7,000 jin of Shanglu! We already have 3,000 jin. Big Brother asked me to buy another 4,000 jin from other medicine halls. Let me tell you, we, Shen …”

Only then did Shen Rui realize that he seemed to have said too much. He looked at Bai Junzhuo with lingering fear, only to see the other party looking at him with a smile.

“I won’t say any more. Goodbye!” Shen Rui broke out in a cold sweat and cursed himself that he had actually spoken so much with a single provocation from this woman. He walked out with almost empty footsteps.

After he left, Bai Junzhuo sat down and drank tea as if nothing had happened. Not long after, Liu Shun came in and said, “Young miss, big miss and Boss Xu did not succeed.”

“Of course not,” Bai Junzhuo said with a calm expression, “Uncle Liu, sit down and have a cup of tea.”

Liu Shun hesitated for a moment, then sat down. He held the cup but didn’t drink it. He couldn’t help but ask, “Miss looks very happy. Could it be that she has discussed with Second Master Shen and Shen Ji is willing to give up this business?”

“No,” Bai Junzhuo shook his head and smiled. “I never intended to ask Second Master Shen to give up this business. I just want to know something from him.”

Liu Shun looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Bai Junzhuo explained, “Originally, when father and Shen Ji worked together, grandma had reminded father that Uncle Shen was treacherous and Second Master Shen was impulsive. It was not suitable for us to interact with each other. Thus, I learned what I wanted to know from Second Master Shen who couldn’t hide his words … 4,000 jin is enough for us to make a fortune.”

Liu Shun was still a little puzzled, but he absolutely believed in Bai Junzhuo’s decision. He asked, “Miss, what should we do next?”

“Ask all the medicine halls that do business with the Bai Clan to triple the price of Shanglu.”

“This” Liu Shun hesitated and said, “But Shen Ji has already reduced the price of Shang Lu by half. The other medicine halls might not agree to raise the price of Shang Lu at this time.”

“Just tell them that they will keep the money they earned. If they lose money, our Bai Clan will give it all to them.”

Bai Junzhuo’s voice was not loud, but it was irrefutable. Liu Shun no longer questioned it and nodded, “Alright, I’ll do it now.”

After Liu Shun left, Bai Junzhuo also came out of the tea house. At this time, it was almost time for the Reform Movement. There were no stars or moons. Apart from a few bigger restaurants that were still lit up, the road was pitch black.

Bai Junzhuo needed to pass through a few small alleys to return from this side. She looked at the sky and hesitated for a moment before walking back.

Leaving Gong’an Li (when the city was divided into XX li), there was no light left. For some reason, Bai Junzhuo’s heart suddenly trembled with fear. She always felt that someone was following her. She hurriedly quickened her pace.

She could not see the road at all, and suddenly felt that she had stepped on something. She slipped and fell to the ground. At the same time, she heard footsteps coming towards her.

She shrank into the corner of the wall in fear, thinking that those people should not be able to see her, nor would they be looking for trouble with her, but at this moment, a large hand touched her face without warning.

“Ah … save–” Bai Junzhuo shouted. Just as he was about to shout for help, the man covered his mouth.

“Be honest!” The voice sounded like a middle-aged man, and he threatened in a low voice.

Bai Junzhuo gasped for breath. After calming down for a while, he suddenly stood up and smashed his head into the man’s stomach. The man let go of Bai Junzhuo with a miserable scream. Just as Bai Junzhuo wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, he bumped into another person.

“Motherf*cker,” the man scolded and kicked Bai Junzhuo to the ground. “Since you’re dishonest, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

After saying that, a few people rushed forward. Someone pulled her clothes, someone pulled her hand, and someone pressed on her body, preventing her from moving.

“What are you guys trying to do! Let me go!” Bai Jun shouted in shock.

“Hehe,” the man laughed, “Miss Bai, don’t blame us. We are also using money and people to dissipate calamity. If you want to blame us, then blame yourself for provoking people you shouldn’t have provoked!”

Hearing this, Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but wonder, who did she provoke? Was it Bai Juntao or Shen Rui?

“How much did that person give you? I’ll give you two double!” Bai Junzhuo immediately reacted and said to this group of people.

Everyone stopped when they heard this. But for a moment, they smiled and said, “How about this, after we spend a good night with Miss Bai, Miss Bai will give us double the money. Shall we not leak the news? You know, that person made us stronger Miss Bai, and then everyone in Luoyang will know that Miss Bai has lost her innocence.”

Bai Jun gritted his teeth. Hearing what they said, she knew who was trying to harm her.

Although she was angry, she knew that saving herself was the most important thing. She calmed down and thought of a way to escape. Suddenly, someone put two fingers into her mouth.

Bai Junzhuo bit down fiercely without thinking. That person screamed miserably and kicked Bai Junzhuo again.

A surge of saltiness surged into his throat. Before, his body had not fully recovered from the beating. Now that he had suffered such a humiliation, Bai Junzhuo glared at them angrily, unable to see their faces clearly in the darkness.

Another gust of wind blew in his ears. Bai Junzhuo felt that someone was about to hit him again. He quickly shrank his head and heard the person behind him scream miserably. He scolded, “What the hell are you kicking me for!”

“Can I see it so dark?” The two of them quarreled. Bai Jun Zhuo saw that there was a chance of survival. Just as he was about to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, he heard that person say, “Damn it, I was tricked by this little bitch!”

After saying that, Bai Junzhuo felt that someone was grabbing his hair and picking him up.

Bai Jun gritted her teeth, causing pain. She knew that there was indeed no one in this place. It would be useless to call for help. It was better to save her strength and escape.

“What’s the trouble? Hurry up and deal with her!” Someone said another sentence, and everyone answered. Then, they attacked again.

Suddenly, a dark yellow lamp appeared at the entrance of the alley. The figure of the person holding the lamp was hidden in the darkness.

“Someone is coming!” One of them shouted and turned to look at the man with the lamp.

Although he couldn’t see that person’s face clearly, that person’s figure was very thin, looking like a woman.

“Hehe, do you want to play with your brothers?” Someone asked.

The lantern-wielding man walked without a sound, and in the darkness of the night he seemed particularly frightened. He did not seem to hear or see them, but lowered his head and walked this way.

His footsteps were very slow, and the surrounding air became oppressive. Gradually, he walked in. Everyone could clearly see that he was wearing tattered clothes, his hair was dirty and sticking together, and his entire body was emitting a smell of stale food.

“So he’s a beggar, get lost!”

Someone shouted again. Bai Junzhuo let go of his clenched teeth and shouted, “Save me!”

Just as Bai Junzhuo finished speaking, the man suddenly raised his head. The lamp in his hand shone on his face, and everyone fell silent.

Bai Junzhuo’s breathing also froze. What kind of face was in front of him!

The skin on his eyelids drooped to his neck, and the skin on his neck drooped to his shoulders, like the fleshy wings between the wings of a bat, and like a sandpike.

“Ghost … ghost … ghost!” The person pressing on Bai Junzhuo’s shoulder released Bai Junzhuo and let out a miserable scream. He fell and crawled away. When the others heard this, they became more and more panicked. They no longer cared about Bai Junzhuo and ran away with a pale face.

Bai Junzhuo took a deep breath and put on his clothes. The man slowly left with the lamp in hand.

“Hey!” Bai Junzhuo shouted, and the man’s footsteps froze.

“Thank you for saving me.”

The man didn’t say a word and continued walking. Bai Junzhuo said, “I know what happened to your face!”

That person suddenly turned his head!
