Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 29

Chapter 029 In the Way of Others
“Cure him?” Bai Junzhuo’s face turned ugly.

Yin Xun nodded, “In the future, I will send Mo Ying to pick you up at Youshi every day to treat this child’s illness.”

Bai Junzhuo lowered his head to look at the child. He had a very white and round face, with two big round eyes, because the tears in his eyes were even darker and brighter.

He didn’t seem to be able to see anyone else and kept staring at Yin Xun.

“Alright,” Bai Junzhuo wiped his tears with his sleeve. “I’ll try my best.”

Yin Xun waved his hand and said, “Go back.”

When Bai Junzhuo returned to the Bai Manor, Bai Juntao was the first to come out. She took Bai Junzhuo’s hand and said, “Sister, why didn’t you come back last night? Grandma and I were worried about you.”

Bai Junzhuo felt a chill run down his spine, but he smiled and said, “Something happened in the Medicine Hall last night. I forgot to send someone to tell Grandma and Sister. I’m sorry.”

“Little sister, although I am open to the public and it is not embarrassing for a woman to show herself in public, it is inevitable that you will fall under the spotlight if you do not return home every night,” Bai Juntao said earnestly. “Our Bai Clan is at least a wealthy family. Little sister, you must pay attention in the future.”

Bai Junzhuo chuckled, “Understood, sister.”

Bai Juntao nodded and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. She wiped the sweat off Bai Junzhuo’s forehead and said, “Look at you. You came back early in the morning. You’re so tired that you’re sweating profusely.”

The thick incense on the handkerchief made Bai Junzhuo frown. She hurriedly took the handkerchief and said to Bai Juntao, “Thank you, sister. I’ll do it myself.”

When Bai Juntao saw her wipe her face with her handkerchief, the smile in her eyes became even wider. “Little sister has just returned. Let’s go back and rest first.”

“En, then little sister will go back to her room first.” Bai Junzhuo smiled and said goodbye. He quickly returned to his courtyard. He hurriedly ordered Apricot to bring over a basin of water, washed his face, and wiped off a layer of black stuff.

Seeing that Bai Junzhuo had finished all this, Xingzi asked curiously, “Miss, this is …”

Bai Junzhuo took out the handkerchief that Bai Juntao wiped her sweat and threw it on the table. “Nothing, someone just poisoned me.”

Xing Zi glared at her in surprise, and then proudly said, “Hmph, poisoning Miss is simply playing tricks on her.”

Bai Junzhuo wiped the water off his hand and asked, “Where is the person I brought back yesterday?”

“I’ve already changed her medicine according to Miss’s instructions. She heard that Miss has returned and went to the kitchen to make food for Miss.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded. He looked down at the handkerchief on the table and thought for a moment. A cold smile appeared on his face. He took out a bottle of medicine from the box on the dressing table and poured it on the handkerchief. Then, he said to Xingzi, “Xingzi, go to the raccoon yard and change the handkerchief with the handkerchief that Eldest Sister washed. Don’t let anyone discover it.”

“Yes.” Xingzi took the handkerchief and went out.

Bai Junzhuo had always had only one way to deal with the person who wanted to harm her, and that was to use his own way to treat her.

As soon as Xingzi left, Lizi brought in the girl from yesterday. Seeing that Bai Junzhuo’s face was painted black, the two of them asked worriedly, “Miss, this is …”

“Nothing, it’ll be fine in a moment.” Bai Junzhuo saw that the girl was holding a bowl of noodle soup in her hand. She had not eaten all night and her appetite immediately jumped. She took it and said to her, “Thank you, I’m starving to death.”

The girl’s eyes were a little surprised. She smiled and said, “You are really different from the other young ladies of a wealthy family.”

Bai Junzhuo looked up at her and said, “Oh right, what’s your name?”

“Fu Mingyue.” She replied.

Bai Junzhuo nodded, “Mingyue, when I first met you, you said that you were originally a young lady from a wealthy family?”

Fu Mingyue nodded and recalled her own life. A bitter smile appeared in her eyes. “When Mother was still alive, Daddy loved me. Later, when Mother passed away, I got that kind of illness and ruined my face. The Taoist priest said that I killed my mother, and Daddy hated my appearance, so he kicked me out. Back then, I was six years old.”

“What kind of father is this? Even someone like me who hasn’t studied before knows how stupid it is to say that he can defeat a dead person. How dare your father believe it!” Lizi couldn’t help but curse.

“Forget it, forget it,” Fu Mingyue shook her head, “I tossed and turned from Xu Chang to Luoyang …”

Bai Junzhuo gave a thumbs up, “You must have been humiliated all along the way. You are still strong enough to live and maintain your original heart. You did not despair of people. You still saved me when I was in trouble. You are the strongest and kindest.”

Lizi also nodded and said, “Good people will get good rewards. When the girl recovers her appearance, she will definitely marry a good family and will never suffer again!”

Fu Mingyue was a little embarrassed.

After Bai Junzhuo finished eating the noodles and washed away the things on her face, two maids knocked on the door and said that they wanted to come in and clean her room.

“Who are they?” Bai Junzhuo did not immediately let them in and asked Lizi.

“One of them is called Hongmei and the other is called Huang Ju. She was sent by the eldest young miss to serve her.”

Bai Junzhuo leaned back against the chair and said to the two people outside, “I don’t need you to clean my room.”

The two of them were stunned for a moment and said, “Miss, that’s my duty. Please don’t make things difficult for this servant.”

Bai Junzhuo patted his chair and stood up. He personally opened the door and coldly said to the two of them, “I said no! Are you deaf? Since you are so idle, wash the clothes of everyone in our courtyard and clean the courtyard again. If you still feel idle, climb onto the roof and sweep the bird droppings off the roof.”

“Little … miss,” Hong Mei and Huang Ju quickly knelt down, “but the eldest young miss sent us …”

“Send you guys to clean my room? Or do you want to steal from me in my room?”

“This servant does not dare! This servant does not dare!” Hong Mei and Huang Ju hurriedly kowtowed.

“Then do as I say,” Bai Junzhuo swept them a glance. “Otherwise, I’ll go tell eldest sister that you guys are disobedient and don’t want you anymore. Go back to eldest sister’s courtyard.”

Hongmei and Huang Ju were originally sent to monitor Bai Junzhuo. If they were driven back, Bai Juntao would definitely not let them go.

The two of them exchanged glances and kowtowed bitterly. “Yes, this servant will do it now.”

Outside Luoyang City, Shili Village.

Lin Bailian, who was fleeing, lay reclining on a recliner beneath a willow tree, eating the expensive pastries brought over from the city. She narrowed her long and narrow phoenix eyes and was pleased with herself.

“Squeak!” The courtyard door was pushed open. Bai Gongyuan came in from outside with an ice-cold expression. Without another word, he shouted at Lin Bailian, “You still have the heart to eat here. Do you know that my mother has returned?”

“Huh?” Lin Bailian yawned and opened her eyes to look at Bai Gongyuan. “That old thing isn’t dead yet.”

“You!” Bai Gongyuan clenched his fists and stared at Lin Bailian for a long time. In the end, he let go of his hand and sighed. “How much money do we have?” He asked.

“Don’t worry,” laughed Lin Bailian. “It’ll be enough for us to have enough food and clothing for ten years.”

“Ten years?!” Bai Gongyuan pulled Lin Bailian by the collar and pulled her up. “Ten years? What about ten years from now? What are we going to do after ten years? Do you have the ability to make money?”

Lin Bailian suddenly pushed Bai Gongyuan away and glared at him angrily, “Back then, it was you who said that you wanted to take away all the money and run away. It was you who said that you wanted to send someone to beat Bai Junzhuo to death to prevent her from stealing our property. Now, you’re blaming me again. You ask me what ability I have to make money? It’s like I’m a man and I’m running away with you!”

Bai Gongyuan’s heart lost all confidence after being roared at like this, and his tone weakened. He straightened his collar and said, “Alright, alright, let’s not quarrel. You also know my mother’s methods. With her here, the Bai Clan will be prosperous for at least another ten years. Why don’t we go back …”

“It’s so annoying to be noisy early in the morning.” Before Bai Gongyuan could finish his words, Bai Junlan pushed open the door and looked coldly at Bai Gongyuan and Lin Bailian. “What? Seeing the Bai Clan revive, do you still want to go back and earn another sum?”

“Lan’er! What are you talking about?” Bai Gongyuan roared.

“Hmph, how can I speak?” Bai Junlan glanced at Bai Gongyuan and said, “It should be how you speak, Second Uncle … Oh no, Father?”

“You” Bai Gongyuan’s face turned red from being blocked by Bai Junlan.

‘”Second Uncle, Mother, I’ve thought a lot of things over this period of time.” Bai Junlan’s tone improved a little. She said to the two of them, “I don’t know if your father died because of you, but when you had an affair with me, I didn’t have the face to stay in the Bai Clan. Besides, you took all the money from the Bai Clan when they were in trouble. Do you think Grandma can spare you?”

Hearing this, Lin Bailian lowered her eyes slightly.

“Lan’er, that’s my biological mother. She’s your mother’s aunt. With this relationship, even if she’s angry, it won’t be too difficult for us.” Bai Gongyuan hurriedly said.

“Even if Grandma spared you, you still have the nerve to stay at the Bai Clan.” Bai Junlan approached Bai Gongyuan and stared at him. “Don’t you feel guilty?”

“You …”

“Mother, Second Uncle, I won’t go back to the Bai Clan with you.” After saying that, Bai Junlan left the courtyard.

“This … this unfilial daughter!” Bai Gongyuan was so angry that he trembled. At this moment, Bai Junlan’s miserable scream suddenly came from outside the door. Lin Bailian hurriedly ran out when she heard this.

Outside, a black-clothed man wearing a mask resisted the unconscious Bai Junlan on his shoulder. Lin Bailian’s legs immediately went limp and she hurriedly knelt down and said, “Hero, let go of my daughter. I’ll give you whatever money you want …”

Bai Gongyuan also came out. Seeing this, he hurriedly said to that person, “Hurry up and put down my daughter!”

“Second Master Bai, isn’t this Uncle Bai’s daughter? When did she become your daughter?”

“You …” Bai Gongyuan’s eyes widened. “You know my identity?”

“Hmph,” the black-clothed man sneered. “If you want to save your daughter, go back to the Bai Clan and find something for me. After you find it, I will naturally release your daughter. Otherwise …”

“Good, good. What is it?” Lin Bailian agreed without hesitation.

“Rumor has it that the scroll passed down from generation to generation from your Bai Clan …” The black-clothed man said as he exerted his strength and disappeared in front of the two of them. “When you find the scroll, I will naturally come out to see you.”

Lin Bailian’s voice gradually disappeared. She got up from the ground and cried to Bai Gongyuan, “What are you still waiting for? You don’t want to save our daughter anymore? Why don’t you pack up and go back to the Bai Mansion?”
