Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 34
Chapter 034 Mrs. Zou’s Weakness
Mrs. Zou stood up and suddenly opened her eyes wide. She asked in shock, “What did you say?”
“Auntie,” Lin Bailian sobbed, “Lian’er and Second Uncle had to leave the Bai Clan because of the scroll … and Lian’er could swear that her husband’s death had nothing to do with Lian’er! Perhaps it was also because of the scroll!”
Mrs. Zou was a little dazed at first. She looked at Lin Bailian for a long time before her expression returned to normal. She waved her hand and said, “Get up and tell me what happened at that time!”
Lin Bailian sat back down and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Then she said, “That night, my husband was studying new medicines in the pharmacy. Lan’er and I were sewing summer clothes for my husband in the room. Suddenly, we heard his screams and went over to look with a few servants. Unexpectedly, a dagger was stuck in his chest and he was lying on the ground. I fainted when I saw the blood on the ground.” When he woke up the next day, Second Uncle said that his husband was gone … ”
At this point, Lin Bailian silently shed a few more tears. Seeing Madam Zou’s slightly sad expression, she continued, “I asked Second Uncle to report to the official and seek justice for my husband. Lord Ma said that there were many cases at that time and did not immediately come to investigate. I, a woman, do not know what to do. I can only wait for Lord Ma.”
“Foolish!” Madam Zou looked at Lin Bailian with hatred and couldn’t help but say, “Whether there are more cases or fewer is just a matter of money. If you give Sir Ma enough benefits, can he ignore Gonglu’s death? No wonder the Bai Clan’s Medicinal Hall lost so much money in just a few years after it was handed over to you!”
Lin Bailian blushed. She knew that she wasn’t the right person to do business and didn’t argue with Madam Zou. She took a sip and said, “Lan’er and I are very sad. We have been guarding the corpse of our husband all day. The next night, a black-clothed man suddenly appeared and kidnapped Lan’er. He told me to hand over the scroll and let Lan’er and her husband go together if I didn’t hand it over.”
“Where’s Lan’er?” Madam Zou couldn’t help but worry. Lin Bailian naturally didn’t know where the scroll was. In other words, could it be that Lan’er had …
“How do I know where the scroll is? In order to save Lan’er, he had to lie to that person and let him come the next day to retrieve it. “Lin Bailian seemed to really recall the scene at that time. She frowned and said with a sobbing voice,” He agreed and warned me not to play tricks. He killed the two servants guarding the door with a single move of his finger when he left. Seeing how powerful he is, I didn’t dare to sue him. I told Second Uncle about this matter. Second Uncle thought for a long time before he decided to take us out of the Bai Manor to avoid refuge. We will return to the Bai Manor after the limelight passes. ”
Mrs. Zou didn’t say anything and stared fixedly at Lin Bailian. Lin Bailian was panicking in her heart, but her face didn’t show the slightest trace of sadness as she looked back at Mrs. Zou.
After a long time, Mrs. Zou said, “Since it was so critical at that time, why didn’t you bring Zhuo’er along? Even if she wasn’t born by you, she was still Gonglu’s biological daughter and my biological granddaughter!”
Lin Bailian thought that Madam Zou was suspicious of her words, but she didn’t think that it was because she didn’t bring Bai Junzhuo with her. She heaved a sigh of relief and explained, “Auntie, I couldn’t protect myself at that time. I even brought Lan’er with me. Maybe I can make her safer by leaving Zhuo’er behind! Besides, it’s normal for me to favor my own daughter!”
“You” Mrs. Zou helplessly looked at Lin Bailian and sighed again. “Forget it, if you hadn’t left Zhuo’er behind, Zhuo’er wouldn’t have been able to undergo a rebirth. What about Lan’er? Why didn’t Lan’er come back with you?”
Speaking of Bai Junlan, Lin Bailian was truly worried. She covered her chest with extreme sadness, as if her heart was about to ache.
“Lan’er … Lan’er, she was kidnapped by the monster who killed her husband!”
Mrs. Zou was even more worried when she heard this, but she did not lose control like Lin Bailian. She calmly asked, “What does the person who kidnapped Lan’er look like? Tell me more about it. I will bring the silver taels to Lord Ma’s place tomorrow to report to the official!”
“Auntie, don’t sue me!” Lin Bailian suddenly raised her voice and said to Madam Zou, “Because the one who kidnapped Lan’er is not a human, it is a demon! His face is extremely terrifying. One finger can make people vomit blood and die. Second Uncle and I took Lan’er far away from Luoyang. We thought we escaped from his control, but he still found us. If it wasn’t for the demon, who would have done this?”
“Nonsense!” Madam Zou slammed the table and angrily said, “Our Bai Clan has been practicing medicine for generations. We have saved countless people, and our merits are boundless. How could there be demons and ghosts close by?”
Mrs. Zou was shocked. She immediately jumped at Mrs. Zou’s feet and cried heartily, “Auntie, Lan’er is my daughter. I’ve been thinking about how to save her all the time, so why would I talk nonsense about this! She’s really a monster, and he even dreamed of me last night, saying … say …”
“What did you say?!” Madam Zou asked with a cold face.
“Say that I gave him the scroll, then he will let Lan’er go. During this period, he will stay in the Bai Clan and keep an eye on my every move!”
Madam Zou’s expression changed slightly. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Bailian. Seeing that her expression did not seem to be lying, he thought about it again. Lin Bailian had always preferred Bai Junlan, so she did not want to joke about her life.
Could it be that, as she said, it was really the demons?
“Auntie” Lin Bailian wiped her tears and her voice trembled. “Lian’er has told you about this now. That demon must know. Lian’er may not be able to live much longer.”
“Nonsense!” Madam Zou hurriedly interrupted her, “I’ve lived all my life, and I’m sitting upright. I’m afraid of what the demon will do! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find this demon!”
Hearing Madam Zou’s words, Lin Bailian wiped her tears and said to Madam Zou, “Auntie, I heard someone say that there is a Mysterious Maiden Temple ten miles south of the Changxia Sect. The immortal aunt inside is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. She is omnipotent in killing demons and devils. Why don’t you invite her to give it a try?”
Madam Zou believed in Buddhism and respected the Taoist immortal family, so she had heard of this immortal aunt. After careful consideration, he nodded and said, “Tomorrow, I will send someone to invite the immortal aunt over. Don’t worry.”
Lin Bailian lowered her head and wiped her tears so that Madam Zou could not see her face. She couldn’t help but secretly raise the corner of her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
On the Yin Manor’s side, Bai Junzhuo was hypnotizing Ah Qing. Hypnosis only allowed him to enter a special state of sleep through hints, and then awakened the thoughts hidden deep within his consciousness. However, Ah Qing was no longer conscious. No matter how much Bai Junzhuo hinted, he only stared blankly at her.
In the field of psychology, Bai Junzhuo was originally an imbecile. He tried a few mechanical hypnosis on A Qing and finally let A Qing fall asleep. However, it was a real sleep. A Qing did not react to Bai Junzhuo’s next hint.
Yin Xun watched her do all these strange things and couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly are you doing?”
Bai Junzhuo held Ah Qing who was sleeping soundly in his arms and signaled Yin Xun to lower his voice, “This illness can’t be cured overnight. I need time … It’s already so late today, and Ah Qing is asleep too. Can I go back now?”
Yin Xun was right. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, “Forget it. Since that’s the case, I’ll let Mo Ying send you back.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and looked at the child in his arms. He wanted to ask someone to come in and send Ah Qing back to his room to sleep, but Yin Xun walked up and stretched out his hand to naturally receive Ah Qing.
Bai Junzhuo was stunned, staring at Yin Xun in surprise. Yin Xun did not seem to have noticed, so he said indifferently, “Let’s go.”
Just as she regained her senses, she pushed open the door and walked out. Just as she stepped out of the threshold, she heard the man behind her say, “Wait.”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly turned around, but he didn’t expect the man to be right behind him. The strands of hair above his head seemed to sweep across his chin. Yin Xun instinctively took a step back and said to Bai Junzhuo, “You can’t have used such a strange method to detoxify me, right?”
Bai Junzhuo did not reply to his flash of aura. He sniffed and said, “You have indeed changed into incense.”
Yin Xun stared at her, her eyes sharp and sharp, but her expression was like a child who had solved a riddle and prayed for a reward. He couldn’t help but smile and replied, “I’ve never cared about this kind of thing. My food and clothes are all handled by Lu Kang alone.”
Bai Junzhuo lowered his head slightly and said, “Since that’s the case, isn’t he the one who most likely poisoned you?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly turned cold. Yin Xun’s gaze was like a sword, piercing straight into people’s hearts. He said coldly, “It’s definitely not him!”
Bai Junzhuo was shocked. He frowned and looked at him, “If not, then not. I also said it was possible, but I didn’t mean it was him!”
Yin Xun’s tone was slightly relaxed as he said to her, “The people around me will definitely not betray me. You only need to do your job. Don’t make wild guesses about things that shouldn’t be your responsibility!”
Bai Junzhuo curled his lips. The inexplicable good impression of him that night had disappeared completely. Sure enough, he was an arrogant and overbearing playboy who didn’t listen to advice!
She was too lazy to tell him, so she turned around and walked out of the courtyard, leaving the Yin Manor.
After she left, Lu Kang emerged from nowhere. He gently waved his paper fan and walked to Yin Xun’s side. He smiled and said, “This subordinate is grateful to me for protecting this subordinate. I have to clear this obstacle for you. I would rather die here …”
“Enough.” Yin Xun interrupted him coldly, “Looks like your injuries are almost healed.”
Lu Kang nodded. “Miss Bai has excellent medical skills. If it weren’t for Miss Bai, this subordinate would have died a long time ago.”
Yin Xun glanced at him indifferently. “She suspects that you poisoned me, but you still protect her.”
Lu Kang smiled sinisterly. “The poisoning is all about food and clothing. As for Master, he is responsible for all of this. Miss Bai suspects that this subordinate should be taken for granted.”
“If you don’t explain and say such words, aren’t you afraid that I will really suspect you?”
Lu Kang laughed out loud, “This subordinate has followed me for more than ten years. This subordinate naturally knows what kind of person I am. If I were to suspect this subordinate, my head would have already moved. How can I talk to this subordinate here?”
Yin Xun’s eyes were clear, but he didn’t know how to reply to Lu Kang’s words.
‘”Moreover,” Lu Kang shook his fan and said to Yin Xun, “Master, think carefully. How shrewd of a person is Miss Bai. She usually keeps her peace and never gets into trouble on her own initiative. Would she not know that saying this would cause trouble for her?”
Yin Xun thought carefully. Lu Kang’s words were indeed reasonable. After a moment of silence, he said, “But after all, she said it out loud.”
Lu Kang chuckled, “Do you know why?”
