Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 322
Chapter 322 Mothers and Daughters Went into Battle Together
“Is she Bai Juntao?”
Once these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Mrs. Zou was unable to utter the words that she had planned to embarrass Bai Junzhuo. She only looked at Yin Ping and Shen Wujie and said, “Who are these two?”
“This is Miss Zhang and Young Master Lu. They are my saviors. That day, I was almost burned to death by the debt collectors. It was the two of them who rushed into the fire to save me, regardless of the danger to their lives.” Bai Junzhuo said to her.
“Thank you so much, both of you!” Bai Juntao walked down and said to Yin Ping, “Thank you two for saving my sister. Otherwise, our Bai Clan …”
Before Bai Juntao could finish her sentence, she began to cry.
Shen Wujie had lived for a long time and knew that the women in the backyard didn’t need money to cry. If Bai Junzhuo hadn’t taken the lead, Bai Junzhuo would have been crying non-stop. But now, Bai Juntao was crying first. If Bai Junzhuo cried again, it would be pretentious.
However, Yin Ping had never lived in such an environment before. She thought that Bai Juntao was crying because she was touched. “You don’t need to thank us,” she quickly comforted her. “Miss Bai has her own good fortune.”
Bai Juntao nodded, wiped away her tears and asked her, “Oh right, why did you mention my name just now? Has she heard of me?”
Yin Ping had indeed heard Bai Junzhuo say Bai Juntao in that time and space. Now that she saw him, she was shocked. However, after arriving here, she did not hear Bai Junzhuo say anything. She should not have known about Bai Juntao’s existence.
There was nothing he could do, so he would lie to Bai Juntao first and then make up a story to hide it from Bai Junzhuo.
She replied, “I heard Miss Bai talk about you.”
Hearing this, Bai Juntao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Bai Junzhuo. “What did Third Sister tell you about me?”
She really wished that Yin Ping would say a lot of bad things in front of Mrs. Zou. In this way, Mrs. Zou would definitely think that this granddaughter of her first wife’s was too narrow-minded and liked to gossip behind people’s backs.
Unexpectedly, Yin Ping said, “Miss Bai said that you are as beautiful as a heavenly immortal. You are smart and have temperament. Today, you really are.”
This was not something that Yin Ping purposely said to praise Bai Juntao, but what Bai Junzhuo had said to her.
At that time, she was a mother, and she didn’t see Baoyu many times a year. Naturally, she couldn’t tell her daughter what was wrong with others. She wanted to nurture Baoyu into a kind-hearted, enthusiastic and cheerful girl, so she couldn’t touch the dark side at all. So she told Baoyu that anyone was good, so Baoyu really believed her.
Bai Juntao had nothing else to say. Mrs. Zou also had a good impression of her granddaughter, who had never been close to her.
Mrs. Zou looked at Bai Junzhuo affectionately and said, “I’ve heard what servants said. Poor Gonglu, let’s go like this. That loser from the A.D. Family … Ah, Zhuo’er, you’ve done very well these days. Grandma is very happy.”
“As the daughter of the Bai Clan, Zhuo’er should do this.” Perhaps Bai Junzhuo was only saying this for the sake of humility, but it was not the same in Bai Junlan’s ears. Her eyes seemed to have been poisoned as she stared fixedly at Bai Junzhuo.
‘”Yes, it’s just that Grandma doesn’t know one thing,” Mrs. Zou asked. “I heard that when Lin Bailian left, she borrowed money from the Mu Clan’s young master in the name of the Bai Clan. His interest rate is not something an ordinary person can afford. Have you returned the money?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded.
“Oh? Where did you get so much money?”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned and suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap. Now, how could she explain that the Medicine Hall and the Bai Manor had been sold to others by her?
After thinking for a long time, she finally said, “It was Zhuo’er who sold her mother’s dowry …”
Mrs. Zou nodded and said, “Actually, you and your father don’t know anything. The money Auntie 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 widened his eyes … What exactly should he do?
“Grandma … no need, it’s all for the Bai Clan, I …”
“Enough!” Mrs. Zou, who had been smiling kindly, suddenly roared with a cold face and said to her, “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? Zhuo’er, are you just fooling your grandmother like this?”
“Grandma …” Bai Junzhuo knelt down and said to her, “Please forgive me. I had no choice but to …”
Seeing this, Yin Ping also knelt down. Anyway, kneeling down on her great-grandmother was not a disadvantage.
She explained for Bai Junzhuo, “Old Madame Bai, please spare Miss Bai. She sold the Bai Clan Medicine Hall to save me …”
“What!” The matriarch slapped her chair and stood up. Her fingers trembled intensely as she pointed at Bai Junzhuo. However, she didn’t say anything and fainted.
Yin Ping turned to look at Shen Wujie and saw that Shen Wujie shook his head at her. She also stuck out her tongue at him. It seemed that she had messed up the matter.
Bai Juntao hurriedly supported her and glared fiercely at Bai Junzhuo. “Grandma, you made her faint the moment she came back. I think my mother, second uncle and second sister also bullied them because you couldn’t tolerate anyone! Bai Junzhuo, you have such a vicious heart!”
Yin Ping turned back to look at Bai Juntao. Logically speaking, Madam Zou had fainted. Shouldn’t this “smart and kind” Bai Juntao immediately call a doctor to treat her? Why did he curse at Bai Junzhuo?
Bai Junzhuo stood up from the ground, glanced at Bai Juntao, and said, “What right do you have to speak?”
Seeing her stand up, Yin Ping also stood up. She looked at the two sisters puzzledly, as if their relationship was different from what she had expected.
Bai Junzhuo looked at Bai Juntao with hostility in her eyes. She said, “Big sister, don’t forget, my mother is my father’s main wife. Furthermore, after all these years of my mother’s death, my father still hasn’t allowed my aunt to become a proper wife.”
Bai Juntao asked someone to help Madam Zou down to rest. Then, he looked at Bai Junzhuo and said mockingly, “Oh, not bad. I haven’t seen you for half a year. You’ve already dared to look up and talk to me like this.”
“Of course I’m confident enough to tell the truth,” Bai Junzhuo sneered. “But big sister, maybe Grandma will wake up soon. Are you really going to quarrel with me here and not cry to make Grandma happy? You’re so filial, so I’ll leave everything to you. I still have to go back and see if there’s anything wrong with the Medicine Hall’s account today.”
Bai Juntao’s face turned pale, but she suppressed it very well. She changed her tone and said, “Sister always specializes in medicine with Daddy. She doesn’t care about the management of the Medicine Hall. Now that she takes over the Medicine Hall, there must be a lot of problems. In the future, Sister won’t have to go to the Medicine Hall anymore. Just leave everything to me.”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression was calm as he said calmly, “Big sister, are your ears not working well? Miss Zhang has already said that I will buy the Bai Clan’s Medicinal Hall. So who should be in charge of this Medicinal Hall, or our owner, is in charge.”
“Hmph, you still have the face to say it!” As Bai Juntao spoke, she gritted her teeth and walked over to Bai Junzhuo. “I am truly ashamed that the Bai Clan has given birth to a daughter like you. To actually hand over the Bai Clan’s Medicinal Hall to someone else. Do you know how many years of accumulation and hard work our Bai Clan has put in?”
Yin Ping stared at the two of them and finally felt that the relationship between the two of them was not as Bai Junzhuo had described to her. Of course, she wanted to help her mother, so she said, “I also feel that if a merchant doesn’t have a son, their family wealth should be inherited by their daughter-in-law.”
‘”Who are you? When did you say anything about our Bai Clan? Also, since you sold the medicine hall to save you, it’s your fault. You have to redeem the medicine hall with her, or I’ll report it to the officials!” Bai Juntao glared at Yin Ping as she stroked Bai Juntao’s reverse scale.
‘”I…” Yin Ping was very angry. Just as she was about to start arguing with Bai Juntao, Bai Junzhuo said before her, “She is my savior, so I have to save her. That’s why I sold the medicine hall.” As Bai Junzhuo spoke, he smiled and said, “If I were to report this matter to the official, I would sell this medicine hall. It has nothing to do with Miss Zhang. As for me, I am the daughter of the first wife of the Bai Clan. I am naturally qualified to sell the medicine hall without knowing whether you are alive or dead. Therefore, if Eldest Sister really reports this matter to the official, I estimate that only one person will be punished, and that person will be Auncle Lin!”
“You!” Bai Juntao was stuck speechless. Indeed, her mother had swept everything away, and it was very likely that she was the murderer of her father. If she wanted to report it to the officials, she could only suffer.
Bai Junzhuo only smiled and said, “So, I advise elder sister not to think about reporting to the government or not. Hurry up and go to Grandma and provoke her to expel me from the Bai Clan as soon as possible. This is the only way you can obtain the Bai Clan Medicine Hall.”
It wasn’t that Bai Juntao couldn’t hear the ridicule in Bai Junzhuo’s tone. But so what? She did plan to sow discord in front of her grandmother.
As he spoke, Bai Junzhuo walked away without turning back. Yin Ping and Shen Wujie also followed him.
Bai Juntao looked at her back with resentment and said coldly, “Hmph! Let’s see how long you can be proud of yourself!”
After returning to his own courtyard, Bai Junzhuo regained his original appearance and apologetically said to Yin Ping and Shen Wujie, “I’m sorry for dragging you into such a bad situation.”
Shen Wujie smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yin Ping say, “Why doesn’t Big Sister Bai reason with Bai Juntao?”
Bai Junzhuo looked at her with amusement. It was really strange what kind of family it was to raise such a simple and cute little girl.
She would be angry if others criticized her like that. But she couldn’t get angry with her at all. She smiled and explained to her, “There are some people who can’t be reasonable.”
Yin Ping pouted and whispered, “I thought you two sisters would have a good relationship.”
“When I was as innocent as you, our relationship was very good. However, the more I understood, the more I felt that everything was a conspiracy.” As Bai Junzhuo spoke, he asked her, “Oh right, I didn’t tell you about Bai Juntao. How did you know about her?”
