Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 31

Chapter 031 Bai Juntao Grounded
Bai Juntao stopped crying and looked at Madam Zou with tears in his eyes, while looking at Bai Junzhuo with gloating eyes.

Bai Junzhuo was calm and composed, and his expression did not change. He quietly waited for that person to finish examining all the medicine bottles.

After checking, the man said to Madam Zou, “Old Lady, there is no Crimson Flame Powder in here.”

As expected, Bai Junzhuo did not react much. On the other hand, the apricot behind her had been so nervous that she almost lost her breath. Now, her next heart finally landed on the ground.

Bai Juntao was both shocked and anxious. She hurriedly said, “Did you check wrongly? How could …”

Bai Junzhuo raised the corner of his mouth and said to that person, “Sir, there are only two or three ingredients left between the Crimson Flame Powder and the Fire Phoenix Powder. You should see if I have the Fire Phoenix Powder on my side. You must investigate it carefully so that no one will talk about it in the future.”

The man respectfully replied, “There is indeed no Scarlet Flame Powder or Fire Phoenix Powder among these medicines. There is no medicine that has the same effect as the Fire Phoenix Powder or the same ingredients as the Fire Phoenix Powder.”

Hearing this, Bai Juntao’s entire body immediately declined, feeling both disappointed and stuffy.

At this moment, someone came in with some bottles and cans and said to Madam Zou, “Old Lady, this was found in the eldest young miss’ courtyard.”

Mrs. Zou glanced at the items and signaled for the gentleman who had just inspected them to go over.

Bai Juntao’s expression was a little infatuated just now. Now that she heard this, her eyes suddenly regained their vigor, but they were filled with fear.

‘Grandma–‘ she hurriedly called to Madam Zou, who looked at her in confusion.

She did have Fire Phoenix Powder here. Originally, she wanted to use it to destroy Bai Jun’s face, but now, she had to bear the consequences. What should she say?

Just now, Bai Junzhuo had asked that person to check again to see if she hadn’t reacted when she had Huo Fengsan. Now that she knew, Bai Junzhuo was reminding him!

Bai Juntao looked at Mrs. Zou with her mouth open, but she didn’t know what to say.

“Old Lady, Eldest Young Miss has a lot of Fire Phoenix Powder here.” The examiner said.

Mrs. Zou’s face immediately darkened when she heard this. The crutch in her hand cracked and the lights shone. Her entire body was in a gloomy haze.

The room was immediately filled with a cold aura. Bai Juntao did not dare to leave, nor did she know how to explain her plea for mercy.

Bai Junzhuo looked at Madam Zou and snorted coldly in her heart. Even so, she would probably only punish Bai Juntao with a small warning.

After waiting for a while, she did not see any instructions from Madam Zou. She slowly raised her head, her gaze completely devoid of any ripples.

“Let’s all go down.” She said indifferently.

Sure enough!

“Yes.” The servants answered and all retreated.

“Zhuo’er, you should go back and rest as well.” Madam Zou waved at Bai Junzhuo.

“Yes, Grandma,” Bai Junzhuo bowed slightly. “Grandma should rest early as well. There’s also Big Sister. You must get enough sleep before you can recover.”

After Bai Junzhuo finished speaking, he led Xingzi out. As soon as the two of them left the peach garden, Xingzi immediately patted his chest and said, “This servant is scared to death, this servant is scared to death …”

“Did grandma frighten you with her fierce appearance just now?”

‘”No, Old Madame is fierce towards the eldest young miss. I’m not afraid. It was Old Madame who asked someone to inspect the young miss’ courtyard, and when she found a large pile of medicine, this servant broke out in cold sweat and her clothes were drenched.” ‘”Miss, this servant doesn’t understand. Eldest Miss’s poison is … but why hasn’t it been detected?” Xing Zi still had lingering fear in his heart and asked, “Miss, this servant doesn’t understand.”

“Didn’t I say that Huo Feng San and Chi Yan San are only lacking in two ingredients? Big Sister wanted to harm me with Huo Feng San, so I added two ingredients to her to turn it into a more potent Chi Yan San,” Bai Junzhuo explained. “I really don’t have Huo Feng San and Chi Yan San here.”

Xing Zi listened and couldn’t help but look at Bai Junzhuo with reverence. “Miss, this servant finds that you have become smarter and smarter since the death of Master. No, Miss is already smarter, but now you are smarter.”

“No,” Bai Junzhuo smiled. “Everything I’ve done is just following Eldest Sister’s example.”

As the master and servant spoke, they returned to their own courtyard.

In Bai Juntao’s room, Madam Zou sat on a chair and stared at Bai Juntao. Seeing that Bai Juntao was silent, he tapped the ground with his walking stick and said, “Tao’er, tell me, what’s going on?”

“Grandma” Bai Juntao hurriedly grabbed Madam Zou’s hand and hurriedly explained, “Grandma, it’s none of my business. This medicine was planted on me by someone else. How could I have poisoned myself …”

“What? You didn’t poison yourself last time?”

Mrs. Zou asked, and Bai Juntao was stunned. She had always thought that Madam Zou did not know, but the truth was, as Madam Zou had said, no one in the Bai Clan could cause trouble in front of her.

“Grandma” She could only choke as she looked pitifully at Mrs. Zou.

“However, I know that you are not stupid enough to use poison like Huo Feng San to frame Zhuo’er. You will not risk your own face.” Madam Zou said coldly.

When Bai Juntao heard this, she immediately regained her spirits and said, “Yes, Grandma, it really wasn’t me. It was Third Sister who wanted to harm me. Not only did she make my face turn like this, she even put the medicine with me …”

‘”Zhuo’er is not so stupid,” Mrs. Zou interrupted her. “This courtyard is full of your trusted aides, but what about her? You can use no more than three people in your hands. If you send someone to sneak into your courtyard, wouldn’t you be courting your own death?”

“But grandma …”

“Don’t you understand?” Madam Zou looked at her with hatred. “Zhuo’er has changed. She is no longer the old Bai Jun Zhuo who only knows how to study medicine and doesn’t care about anything outside. She has ambition, courage, and methods that aren’t inferior to mine. You are far inferior to her.”

Bai Juntao pursed her tears in her eyes and bit her lips without saying a word.

‘”What you did today is inappropriate,” Madam Zou added. “Think about it, if you really succeeded and used the Fire Phoenix Powder to ruin Zhuo’er’s face, would Zhuo’er swallow her anger? Will I let you manage the medicine hall alone?”

“But at the very least, third sister will not be able to manage the medicine hall for a period of time!”

“Foolish!” Mrs. Zou fiercely knocked on her cane and glared at Bai Juntao, “If Zhuo’er follows your play and is poisoned, I will definitely punish you for giving her justice. With Zhuo’er’s medical skills, it won’t be difficult for her to heal the injuries on her face. In the end, you won’t get anything!”

“Grandma” Bai Juntao also felt that what she had done was too substandard.

‘”Alright,” Madam Zou stood up. “I can’t always protect you. Zhuo’er is also my own granddaughter. You better reflect for half a month and don’t let anything happen again!”

Bai Juntao hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab Mrs. Zou, but Mrs. Zou had already pushed the door open with her walking stick. The nanny beside Mrs. Zou hurriedly closed the door. “Grandma! Tao’er knows her mistake, I beg grandma …”

Bai Juntao sat down powerlessly, crying until her voice was hoarse. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in resentment.

“Bai, Jun, Zhuo!”

The next day, when Mrs. Zou was flipping through the books of the Medicine Hall and sighing with emotion that her previously inconspicuous little granddaughter actually possessed such abilities, someone outside came in to report, “Old Madam, Second Master and Auntie Lin have returned. At this moment, they are kneeling at the side door.”

Hearing this, Madam Zou slammed the ledger on the table and said coldly, “They still have the face to come back!”

The hall was completely silent, and no one dared to speak.

“What’s kneeling at the side door? Tell them to kneel at the front door!” Mrs. Zou said, then picked up the ledger and flipped through it.

“Yes.”

The servant went out. After such a round trip, everyone in the Bai Clan knew that Second Master and Auntie Lin had returned. Even Bai Juntao, who had been locked in meditation, heard the news. She couldn’t help but frown and asked the maidservant Cui Ying who came in from outside, “Why is it so noisy?”

Cui Ying replied happily, “Miss, Second Master and Concubine Lin are back.”

“Mother and Second Uncle are back?” Bai Juntao immediately stood up and excitedly ran to the door to take a look.

‘”But” Cui Ying’s expression darkened again. She hesitated and said, “Old Lady is very angry. Let Second Master and Concubine Lin go to the front door to kneel and not let them enter the manor.”

Bai Juntao leaned on the door frame and cried. Cui Ying was at a loss for what to do. She just stood there and did not go over to persuade her.

As she cried, Bai Juntao laughed again and muttered to herself, “Grandma is only angry for a while. After all, Mother is her niece and Second Uncle is her own son. When Grandma calms down and lets Second Uncle and Auntie come in, I want to see how you, helpless Bai Junzhuo, will fight me!”

At this moment, Bai Junzhuo, who was in the Medicine Hall, had no idea that the two of them were coming back. After a busy day, he was about to return home.

Passing through the small alley that she had to pass back to the manor, Bai Junzhuo suddenly felt that it was a little strange. She looked around and found that not a single person could be seen in this secluded place.

“Damn it” She realized that something might happen again. She hurriedly turned around and ran back. Before she could take two steps, seven or eight sturdy men with large knives in their hands appeared in front of her.

He didn’t expect that someone would block his path in the sky and look at Bai Junzhuo aggressively.

“You … what are you guys doing?” Bai Junzhuo asked as he retreated.

Who was it that wanted to harm her? Bai Juntao? Impossible. She had just eaten it yesterday, so she had to restrain herself for a period of time. Moreover, she didn’t have that much money to leave no one on this street.

This group of people was obviously well-trained, unlike those gangsters who had summoned the people behind them with a single question. Without saying a word, they raised their sabers and slashed at Bai Junzhuo.

Bai Junzhuo dodged the knife and quickly pulled out a bottle of medicinal powder from his bag with one hand. He pulled out the plug and waved it at the person closest to her. The person immediately covered his face and let out a miserable scream.

The effect of the medicine was similar to that of concentrated sulfuric acid, and white smoke came out of the man’s face.

The others were stunned for a moment before rushing forward again. However, Bai Junzhuo did not control his strength and sprinkled out a bottle of medicinal powder!

At this moment, there were people on both sides who drew their sabers, and there were people who rushed over. It was precisely from all directions!
