Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 35
Chapter 035 A Courtyard Full of Rats
Yin Xun didn’t seem to care as he casually asked, “Why?”
“That’s because she cares about her master.” Lu Kang seemed to have seen through something and smiled meaningfully. “Care is chaotic. Miss Bai is so confused that she doesn’t choose her words.”
Yin Xun was silent, and the corner of his eyes contained a trace of confusion.
“Besides, Master has Mo Ying who is valiant and skilled in battle, Shen Qing who is calm and steady, and his subordinates who have ideas. Young Miss Bai is a talented person with outstanding medical skills. If Master can take her for his own use, then Master’s plan …”
“Let’s talk about it.” Yin Xun interrupted him at the right time.
Lu Kang also stopped talking honestly. He suddenly discovered that Yin Xun had been hugging the sleeping child. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, “I’m guilty. This subordinate only cares about talking to Master, but I’ve actually made Master tired for so long. Hurry up and hand him over to this subordinate.”
Yin Xun did not move. He lowered his head and looked at Ah Qing. His breathing was even, and his slender eyelashes trembled. He was indescribably calm and cute.
After a long time, Yin Xun actually whispered, “Forget it, I’ll send him back to his room. The child’s weight isn’t enough for me.”

Bai Junzhuo sat in the carriage, unable to restrain her thoughts. The figure of the man lingered in her mind, and she did not know why.
After being depressed all the way to the White Manor, she finally couldn’t help but stretch out her head and shout, “Mo Ying–”
Bai Junzhuo rarely took the initiative to speak to Mo Ying. He was shocked to hear this and quickly stopped his horse. He turned to look at her and said, “What’s wrong, Miss Bai?”
Bai Junzhuo looked straight at him and asked, “Didn’t you hate me before and want to kill me? Why don’t you kill me now? Why are you driving the carriage back and forth to pick me up?”
Mo Ying was also considered an honest person. After being asked this question, he immediately said, “No, I have never hated Miss Bai. The reason why I wanted to kill Miss Bai a few times before was because of my master …”
“He told you to kill you? I have no grievances or enmity with you!” Bai Junzhuo’s gaze was sharp, staring at the highly skilled Mo Ying who was covered in cold sweat.
“I … But … Master …”
Seeing his nervous expression, Bai Junzhuo let out a sigh of relief. He had been bullied by that man just now, but now he had bullied his subordinates. It was considered revenge.
“Forget it, I’m a big man. I won’t argue with you anymore.” Bai Junzhuo waved his hand and said to him, “Tell me, what kind of person is your master?”
When Mo Ying saw that Bai Junzhuo was no longer difficult for him, he heaved a sigh of relief and replied, “My master is fine. Although he looks cold, he is actually very considerate and concerned about us.” Although he didn’t say anything, I also know that he treats us like brothers who are risking their lives. If anyone dares to touch his people, Master will definitely seek justice for us at all costs. “I can guarantee that Master will serve you sincerely. There will definitely be no double-heartedness, and Master …”
“Enough, enough.” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly waved her hand. She really didn’t know that Mo Ying, who was usually quiet, would talk endlessly whenever he mentioned his master. She didn’t want to hear how good that man was, so she interrupted Mo Ying and asked, “Then what exactly is your master’s identity?”
Mo Ying shook his head, “Master didn’t say that he wanted to tell you, so I can’t tell you.”
“You!” Bai Junzhuo frowned and looked at him. Mo Ying wasn’t nervous anymore and looked at Bai Junzhuo without changing his expression.
Bai Junzhuo considered the strength of both sides and helplessly said, “Forget it, what’s his name?”
Mo Ying was a little surprised, “Didn’t Master tell you?”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “I heard Grandma call him Young Master Yin. I only know his surname is Yin, but I don’t know anything else.”
Mo Ying frowned and shook his head, “Since Master didn’t tell you, I can’t tell you either.”
“You! Do you believe me?” Bai Junzhuo took out a bottle from his bag and opened the lid.
“Even if Miss Bai poisoned me, I wouldn’t say it,” Mo Ying said seriously to Bai Junzhuo. “In any case, Miss Bai won’t really poison me to death. Moreover, if Master knew that I was poisoned by Miss Bai, he would definitely let Miss Bai detoxify me.”
Bai Jun was anxious. Wasn’t Mo Ying an honest person?
After glaring fiercely at Mo Ying, Bai Junzhuo sat back in the car angrily.
Seeing her sit back, Mo Ying heaved a deep sigh of relief and drove the carriage to the Bai Manor.
Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the Bai Mansion. Mo Ying opened the curtain and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss Bai, the Bai Mansion has arrived.”
Bai Junzhuo got out of the car and Mo Ying took his leave.
Just as Bai Junzhuo was about to walk over and knock on the door, he saw four women in their thirties walking over to the side alley. Bai Junzhuo’s heart tightened. These people had appeared in her memory. They were the people who had served Lin Bailian before.
They also saw Bai Junzhuo and greeted him together. They bowed respectfully and said, “Third Miss, you’re back.”
Originally, these people bullied their original owners. Bai Junzhuo did not have a good impression of them, so he said coldly, “I should be the one who asked, are you guys back?”
The leader was Mei Fang, Lin Bailian’s most valued confidant. She smiled and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Yeah, Auntie Lin is back, isn’t she? She said that the newly bought servants are uncomfortable to serve. We servants have also received the favor of Auntie Lin, so we rushed back to serve Auntie Lin.” Concubine Lin told Old Lady, and Old Lady agreed. It was Old Lady who sent everyone to get us back. ”
Bai Junzhuo clenched his fists and didn’t want to say anything to these people. At this moment, the door opened. Nurse He walked out with a lamp in his hand. Seeing Bai Junzhuo and the others standing at the door, he coldly said to the four of them, “Since you’re back, why don’t you hurry back and serve Master? What does it look like to stand in the way?”
The four of them hurriedly bowed and bowed before entering the manor.
Nurse He changed his face again and said softly to Bai Junzhuo, “Third Miss, go back and rest early. I’ve troubled you tonight.”
Bai Jun smiled back and said, “Nurse He is worried. It’s just that it’s so late. Is Nurse He going out?”
Granny He nodded her head. “The matriarch said that there are some dirty things in the mansion. She asked this old servant to invite the immortal maiden from the Profound Maiden Temple outside Luoyang City to do something about it. This old servant thought that it was best to be sincere about this matter, so he set off now and walked away. When dawn comes, he should be the first to see her.”
Bai Jun raised her eyebrows. She finally remembered that although the Zou Clan’s mansion was quite deep and calm, the matter of the Fiendgods was definitely one of her weaknesses. In this matter, she was like an ordinary old man who was superstitious.
Bai Junzhuo did not think too much and said to Nurse He, “It’s been a long time, Nanny. Nanny, go back early.”
“Thank you Third Miss for your concern. Third Miss, please go back and rest.”
Bai Jun returned to his courtyard. He was a little tired today and almost fell asleep after returning to his room. After sleeping for less than three hours, he suddenly heard a series of squeaky sounds, followed by the screams of the maids in the courtyard.
Bai Junzhuo was still awake and asked, “What happened?”
Xingzi pushed open the door and came in. With a panicked expression, he said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss, there are many rats in the courtyard. How disgusting …”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to take a look. At this moment, it was already dawn. He saw white mice running all over the courtyard by the light blue sky. No wonder the maids in the courtyard kept screaming.
Seeing Bai Jun burn out, Shen Qing stepped forward and said, “Miss Bai, the eighty white rats you wanted have already been caught for you.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head helplessly. After all, Shen Qing was not one of her people. She could not say anything about him, so he instructed the servants in the courtyard, “Capture all these rats and don’t hurt them!”
At first, there were a few servants who were holding brooms and beating them. Hearing Bai Junzhuo’s words, they were stunned and looked at each other for a long time without moving.
Bai Junzhuo frowned, “Are you all not listening to me? Then what use do I want you to have? It’s better to scram back to Big Sister’s courtyard!”
Right now, Bai Juntao was grounded. Bai Junzhuo held the Medicine Hall in his hand and was highly valued by Old Lady. Even if Bai Juntao had sent these people to monitor Bai Junzhuo, they still had to consider whether it was time to change their masters. Now that he heard Bai Junzhuo’s words, he immediately moved and carefully grabbed the mouse.
After all, this mouse is wild, unlike the one raised in the laboratory. Every one of them was quick-witted, and it took nearly two hours for the people in this courtyard to capture them all and put them in cages.
Bai Junzhuo counted the numbers and found that there were no more than eighty of them.
After counting the mice, she swept her eyes over the maidservants standing beside her and finally stopped on Hongmei and Huang Ju.
“From today onwards, the two of you will feed these rats to me. One of you will be deducted for a month or two.”
Hong Mei Huang Ju’s expression was extremely ugly. She hurriedly knelt down and said, “Third Miss, this servant does not dare …”
“Don’t dare what?”
Hongmei looked up at Bai Junzhuo with tears in her eyes, “Before this servant came to serve Third Miss, all I did was comb her master’s hair and change clothes. Now, Third Miss wants this servant to feed these … these …”
Hongmei sobbed, unable to continue. Her gaze drifted past the mice, and her face turned a little pale again.
“Third young miss, I beg you, let us go!” Huang Ju didn’t say anything and directly pulled Bai Junzhuo’s skirt to beg for mercy.
Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows and said, “If you don’t want to do it, then so be it. Anyway, you aren’t from my courtyard. If you don’t want to work for me, you can leave at any time. I definitely won’t find it difficult for you.”
Hongmei and Huang Ju stopped crying and looked at each other in confusion.
“I’ll prepare the food for these rats later,” Bai Junzhuo saw that they were hesitant and took it as their consent. “Also, if you give these rats water, it must be cold boiling water.”
She yawned. Thinking about how nothing big had happened to the Medicine Hall recently, she went back to her room and went back to sleep.
Hong Mei Huang Ju sat on the ground, while the other servants saw that Bai Jun Zhuo did not give any instructions and went to do their own work.
Shen Qing folded her arms around her chest and watched all of this without saying a word. After watching Bai Junzhuo leave, she slowly curled her lips and revealed a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile.
He deliberately left the rats all over the yard.
At this time, it was already dawn. Lin Bailian and Mei Fang saw each other again, both sighing.
After Lin Bailian asked about the situation, she lowered her voice and asked, “Did you talk to the Profound Maiden?”
Mei Fang nodded, “Madam, don’t worry. Everything has been settled.”
“Hmph!” Lin Bailian sneered. “This girl caused Tao’er to be like this. I will definitely not spare her!”
Mei Fang pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, “When I woke up early, I heard the maidservant outside say that Third Miss did something strange. She made the courtyard full of rats. It’s really scary.”
“Rats?” Lin Bailian frowned, “What are you doing with these things?”
Mei Fang shook her head to express her ignorance, and then she pursed her lips and smiled, “Madam, no matter what, we must seize this opportunity. Perhaps this is Third Miss digging her own grave.”
Lin Bailian thought for a moment and wanted to make a big fuss about it. She couldn’t help but laugh. She snorted coldly and said, “Naturally, the things that belong to Tao’er must be returned to Tao’er. Let me see how this fake Bai Junzhuo can continue to be arrogant in the Bai Manor!”
Just as he was speaking, a maidservant came in and reported, “Auntie, Nanny He has already brought the Profound Maiden into the manor.”
