Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 32
Chapter 032 Grandma’s Probe
Right at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. It was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Bai Jun’s burning body.
Bai Junzhuo looked at him in astonishment. This person was dressed in black brocade clothes and emitted a murderous aura. He was the bodyguard beside the big boss. It seemed that his name was Shen Qing.
Seeing that there was only one more person, the bandits said rather unhurriedly, “Today, you only need to take the life of Third Miss Bai. If you don’t want to die, scram away!”
Shen Qing got off the horse and asked in a deep voice, “Who sent you?”
Seeing that Shen Qing didn’t seem to have the slightest intention of moving aside, the group of people stopped talking nonsense with him and rushed forward at the same time.
Shen Qing’s eyebrows were filled with killing intent. With one hand, he burned Bai Jun behind him, while with the other, he stabbed straight at him with his sword. His moves were ruthless and didn’t give his opponent any room to maneuver.
Not long after, Shen Qing stepped on the last person and raised his sword to kill him. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly stopped him and said, “Wait, I haven’t asked who sent them to kill me!”
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment before stabbing the sword down. After killing the last person, he said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss Bai, this group of people didn’t even beg for mercy until they died. Even if I spare him now, he wouldn’t tell anyone who wanted to kill you.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at the corpses on the ground with a slightly ugly expression.
“However, I know who is going to kill Miss Bai,” Shen Qing paused for a moment. “To tell you the truth, Miss Bai, my master’s enemies know that only Miss Bai can save him, that’s why …”
The corners of Bai Jun’s burning lips were tightly pursed, and he did not say a word for a
Seeing her worried expression, Shen Qing immediately cupped his fists and said to her, “Miss Bai, don’t worry. My master told me to stay by Miss Bai’s side to protect you. I definitely won’t let anyone have a chance to hurt Miss Bai!”
When Bai Junzhuo heard what he said, he looked him up and down. Judging from his performance just now, this person was definitely formidable. However, not leaving a single person alive was simply too cold-blooded.
But that man had a conscience and knew to send someone to protect her.
“Since that’s the case, then follow me back to the manor.” Bai Junzhuo turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He curled his lips and said in a deep voice, “To cure your master’s illness, you really need someone as useful as you.”
Shen Qing frowned. What did she want?

Back at the White Mansion, Bai Junzhuo was shocked to see Lin Bailian and Bai Gongyuan kneeling at the gate. Could it be that they had run out of money?
She walked over quietly. Before she could speak, Bai Gongyuan saw her and immediately smiled. “Isn’t this Zhuo’er? I haven’t seen her for a few days. She’s getting more and more beautiful.”
When Lin Bailian heard Bai Gongyuan’s words, she also looked up at Bai Junzhuo and immediately lowered her head. She had bullied Bai Junzhuo a lot in the past, but now she couldn’t say anything to Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo pondered for a moment. Although he did not know why the two of them had returned, with the relationship between the Zou Clan and them, they would definitely not be prevented from entering the house. The Zou Clan wanted them to kneel here to show their fairness and righteousness.
Since that’s the case, why don’t you sell it to Mrs. Zou?
Bai Junzhuo walked forward and supported Lin Bailian with one hand and Bai Gongyuan with the other. He smiled and said to the two, “Auntie, Second Uncle, what are you doing kneeling here? It’s not good to let others see it. Hurry up and get up.”
Lin Bailian was shocked. She didn’t expect Bai Junzhuo to say such a thing. She was stunned and didn’t move. However, Bai Gongyuan stood up and rubbed his aching knees. He said to Bai Junzhuo, “Ah, Zhuo’er, there was a reason why Second Uncle left the Bai Manor at that time. However, Mother indiscriminately thought that we left you and punished us to kneel here …”
‘”So that’s what happened.” Bai Junzhuo still smiled and said to him, “Zhuo’er naturally knows that Second Uncle has a hard time. Besides, there’s no enmity between the family overnight. You guys go in. I’ll go plead with Grandma later. Grandma won’t blame you.”
Bai Gongyuan knelt for a long time. He couldn’t stand it anymore. Hearing Bai Junzhuo’s words, a smile blossomed on his face. He complained in his heart about Bai Juntao. Fortunately, he loved her so much before. Now that the two of them had knelt outside for so long, he didn’t see her come out to take a look.
Bai Junzhuo bent down to support Lin Bailian. Lin Bailian was obviously thinking a bit more. She looked at Bai Junzhuo suspiciously and felt that this girl could not be so kind. However, thinking about it, Bai Junzhuo wasn’t very smart in the past, so what could he have thought?
Lin Bailian understood and smiled at Bai Junzhuo. She raised her foot to step into the Bai Manor. Bai Junzhuo suddenly asked, “Oh right, Auntie, why didn’t Second Sister come back with you?”
Lin Bailian’s footsteps softened and she almost fell. Bai Gongyuan immediately supported her and quietly said to Bai Junzhuo, “Lan’er is afraid of the summer. She’s hiding in the countryside for the summer. She’ll be back in a few days when it’s cool.”
Bai Jun raised his eyebrows. It was early summer, and he was taking shelter from the summer?
However, she only smiled and did not find fault with it. After getting someone to help Lin Bailian and Bai Gongyuan in, he brought Shen Qing back to the courtyard.
Shen Qing was extremely quiet. Bai Junzhuo didn’t give him any instructions, so he followed behind Bai Junzhuo without saying a word.
Bai Junzhuo went back to her room to change the medicine for Fu Mingyue. It was estimated that Madam Zou would already know that she had let Lin Bailian and Bai Gongyuan in. She did not rush over to claim credit. She looked up at Shen Qing and suddenly said, “To cure your master’s poison, I need you to do something for me.”
Shen Qing said seriously, “Miss Bai, please don’t hesitate to tell me. As long as you can save Master, I can do anything.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “It’s not difficult. Go find me eighty rats, small ones and white ones.”
Shen Qing raised her head in surprise and looked at her. Eighty?
Bai Jun raised his eyebrows, “Why? Is it difficult?”
Shen Qing didn’t waste any time talking and turned around and walked out.
After he left, Bai Junzhuo got up and went to Madam Zou’s courtyard. Along the way, he heard the servants say that the third young miss was tolerant and kind. Bai Junzhuo knew that he had made the right move.
Seeing Mrs. Zou, Bai Junzhuo knelt down before she could speak. He said to Mrs. Zou with a guilty expression, “Grandma, Zhuo’er did something wrong. Please punish her.”
Mrs. Zou’s eyes revealed a look of approval. She ordered her personal nanny to help her up and asked her calmly, “What’s wrong with you?”
Bai Junzhuo raised his head to look at her. “Zhuo’er saw Second Uncle and Auntie rushing back and kneeling at the door to apologize, so she decided to let them in.”
“You are kind-hearted,” Mrs. Zou said, “Zhuo’er, are you sure you don’t blame them?”
A bitter smile appeared on Bai Junzhuo’s face. “Thinking of Zhuo’er’s father’s death and the injuries he suffered a few days ago, Zhuo’er is indeed unwilling. However, it can’t be blamed on Second Uncle and Auntie. It can’t be said that it was wrong to leave this battered Bai Clan to find another way out.”
Madam Zou’s gaze shifted and he sighed slightly, “It’s all thanks to your willingness to stay and guard the Bai Clan that the Bai Clan did not truly fall. Zhuo’er, from now on, all of our Bai Clan’s medicinal fields in Shouchun will be handed over to you and you will be in full charge of them.”
Bai Junzhuo’s eyes lit up. This longevity aphrodisiac field stretched over a hundred acres, and all of its plants were expensive night crossbows! This was one of the reasons why the Bai Clan was still standing. Previously, this medicinal field had been distributed to the third uncle of the Bai Clan. After the third uncle passed away, he was taken back by Madam Zou. Now, he actually wanted to give this field to her? !
‘”Of course,” Madam Zou added quietly. “You must take care of the medicine hall with all your heart. You can let go of the medicine hall’s affairs. Coincidentally, your concubine mother and second uncle are back as well. They were the ones who were in charge of the medicine hall before. They must be more familiar with the medicine hall’s affairs than you. If you are too busy, leave the medicine hall to them to manage.”
Bai Junzhuo’s heart immediately turned cold. The Shouchun Alchemy Field was indeed a big fat piece of meat, but Shouchun was not close to Luoyang. If Bai Junzhuo left everything here and went to Shouchun, it would be equivalent to giving up the Bai Clan and the Alchemy Hall. If she continued to stay in Luoyang, the Shouchun Alchemy Field was nominally hers’. In fact, it was still in Madam Zou’s hands. This old fox had also planned to do this to his granddaughter.
What should we do? Do you want the Medicine Hall or the Medicine Field?
“Zhuo’er, you do have the ability and courage, but you are still young …”
“Grandma,” Bai Junzhuo interrupted her and smiled, “Zhuo’er also wants to share some of the burden for Grandma. If Grandma feels that she can’t manage the Longevity aphrodisiac field alone, Zhuo’er can help.”
Mrs. Zou was so clear. Of course, she knew that Bai Junzhuo chose the medicine hall and gave up the medicine field. She didn’t say anything else. She only nodded and said, “Zhuo’er thinks so. Grandma is very gratified. You can go down first.”
“Yes, Grandma.”

In the Peach Courtyard, Lin Bailian saw Bai Juntao, whose appearance had been completely ruined, and heard Bai Juntao tell her everything that had happened these past few days. She hugged her and let her cry for a while before comforting her, “Tao’er, don’t worry, since Mother has returned, I will definitely not let you be bullied again.”
Bai Juntao wiped away her tears. “Mother, you must be careful. I’ve suffered many losses. I finally understand that this Bai Junzhuo is no longer the stupid and stupid Bai Junzhuo from before. She is skilled now.”
‘”Don’t worry,” Lin Bailian patted her back and pondered. “But then again, why is she so completely different from Bai Junzhuo?”
Bai Juntao remained silent. After a long time, she suddenly raised her head to look at Lin Bailian. “Mother, could it be that this person is not Bai Junzhuo at all?”
“Stop spouting nonsense,” Lin Bailian said. “She looks just like Bai Junzhuo. How could it not be her?”
“Mother, have you ever heard of something called a human skin mask that can change a person’s appearance exactly like another person’s …”
When Lin Bailian heard this, she whispered, “When the old man died, I sent someone to solve Bai Junzhuo’s problem. Those people told me that Bai Junzhuo had been beaten to death by them. Could this person really be a fake?”
She looked at Bai Juntao and said coldly, “If that’s the case, I have a way to deal with this fake Bai Junzhuo.”
At this moment, Cui Ying outside the door reported, “Auntie Lin, the person you asked this servant to look for has been found.”
