Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 48

Chapter 048 Be Sent to the Temple
Bai Junzhuo was instantly a little irritated. She was already extremely reluctant to plead for Bai Juntao’s sake, yet she still had to sacrifice herself for her sake?

It took her a long time to breathe calmly. Although she wished for Bai Juntao to die, what she said earlier wasn’t all false. Bai Juntao couldn’t die from sin, and if she couldn’t save Bai Juntao’s life, Madam Zou wouldn’t be able to explain it.

She asked patiently, “What is it?”

Yin Xun crossed his chest and said calmly, “It should be an extremely simple matter for you. I’ll hand over the Medicine Hall to you, so you naturally have to show me some results. The thing I want you to do is to earn 100,000 taels in a month. If you can’t do it, you have to agree to another condition.”

Making 100,000 taels a month? It seemed a little difficult.

“What’s the other condition?” Bai Junzhuo asked with a frown.

Yin Xun looked at him quietly.

A cold light flashed in Bai Junzhuo’s eyes. Everything was unpredictable. She did not know what would happen in a month’s time. Moreover, she realized that she did not understand this man any more.

“I will earn it.”

Yin Xun nodded in satisfaction, “Since that’s the case, you can go back.”

Bai Junzhuo did not immediately turn around and return.

“I know some things, but I just don’t think there’s a need to say it out loud.”

“What?” Yin Xun seemed to be puzzled by this sudden sentence.

“I’m here to plead for Bai Juntao. If you really kill Bai Juntao, no matter what your status is, grandma will feel estranged from you in her heart.” Bai Juntao laughed wantonly, “Don’t underestimate Grandma. If that’s the case, even if she destroys herself and the Bai Manor, she definitely won’t let you get what you want!”

“Oh?” Yin Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

“You’ve got a bargain, yet you’re still behaving well. You still have the nerve to ask me to agree to your conditions.” Bai Junzhuo sneered and continued, “I agree because I feel that I have the ability to do a good job. Your conditions are not too difficult.”

‘”Haha” Yin Xun laughed loudly, “You’re really, really interesting!”

This was also the first time Bai Junzhuo had seen him laugh so arrogantly. It was as if he had torn off all his masks in an instant. Now, what appeared in front of her was only a young man who wasn’t much older than him. They exposed each other’s lies and mocked each other like friends.

The corners of Bai Junzhuo’s mouth curved, “Send someone to deliver the silver from that glass crystal lamp from last night.”

Yin Xun restrained his smile and nodded.

After a moment of silence, Bai Junzhuo said, “I’m leaving.”

“Go.” Yin Xun’s gaze became gentler as he watched her leave.

What happened this morning only came to Lin Bailian’s ears for a long time. She immediately rushed to Mrs. Zou’s room, ignoring the obstruction of her servants and rushed in. She threw herself at Mrs. Zou’s feet and cried, “Aunt, please spare Tao’er. She is still young, she is not sensible …”

Mrs. Zou shook off her hand, leaned on her walking stick, and sat down on the couch. She said coldly, “If I had waited for you to plead for mercy, Tao’er would have died a thousand times already!”

Lin Bailian was stunned. Did Madam Zou mean to let Bai Juntao off?

But she looked to the side, her daughter was still kneeling there crying silently.

“You shouldn’t have provoked someone that even I can’t deal with!” Mrs. Zou pointed at Bai Juntao, trembling. “Although that person is willing to spare your life now, he also said that he doesn’t want to see you anymore. You can stay in the temple. When he leaves Luoyang, you can come out.”

When Lin Bailian heard this, she was shocked, “The temple has always punished the wives and concubines of the Bai Clan who do not obey women’s dao. Tao’er is still a woman who has yet to leave the pavilion. If aunt punishes her into the temple, how will she survive in the future?”

“Then what do you think we should do? Let her continue to take care of her in the manor. From time to time, she will cause some trouble and harm herself. In the end, will the Bai Manor be dragged down?” Madam Zou’s voice trembled. She was also very unwilling to punish Bai Juntao like this, but how could these two people not understand her painstaking efforts?

“Auntie” Lin Bailian’s face was full of tears. She wanted to say something, but Bai Juntao grabbed her hand.

She advised in a low voice, “Mother, daughter can enter the temple. Don’t get excited. Later, daughter has something important to tell you.”

Lin Bailian looked at her puzzledly. Bai Juntao kowtowed to Madam Zou and said, “Grandma, I’m willing to enter the temple. I want to be alone with Mother before I leave.”

Madam Zou sighed and nodded, “Go.”

Lin Bailian helped Bai Juntao back to her courtyard. She looked at the wounds on Bai Juntao’s face with distress, “Does it hurt? Tao’er …”

Bai Juntao nodded and her tears finally stopped. “Mother, the injuries on my body and face were all caused by Grandma. She has been mesmerized by that demon Bai Junzhuo and doesn’t love me anymore.”

“Auntie, she’s actually so ruthless!”

The mother and daughter hugged and cried for a long time before sobbing and separating. Lin Bailian asked, “Just now, you said that you have something important to tell me. What is it?”

Bai Juntao sniffed and said, “I did attack that man last night, but it was also because of Grandma’s great power. I expected that even if I failed, that man would not do anything to me. But today, Grandma called me over and scolded me without saying anything. She even asked Bai Junzhuo to plead for me in a low voice. Mother, do you see anything wrong?”

Lin Bai pondered for a moment and said, “That man’s identity isn’t ordinary?”

Bai Juntao nodded. “Not only is it not ordinary, but under my questioning, grandma finally told me the identity of that man. He is actually the ninth prince of a wealthy country, Yin Xun!”

“What?!” Lin Bailian looked at her in surprise.

‘”Mother, I thought a lot just now.” Bai Juntao had calmed down completely. “Since he is the Ninth Prince, even if he really has any affection for Bai Junzhuo, he will not marry a woman of this status. Therefore, after I leave, I can deal with Bai Junzhuo ruthlessly without any scruples. Also, I have to deal with another person.”

“There’s another person? Who?” Lin Bailian asked.

“Grandma.” A trace of ruthlessness appeared in Bai Juntao’s eyes.

“You’re crazy!” Lin Bailian said in fear, “She is my aunt, our strongest backing in the White Manor!”

Bai Juntao narrowed her eyes. “Did she care about this friendship after hitting me today?! Right now, she valued Bai Junzhuo more and more. Sooner or later, she would give everything in the Bai Clan to Bai Junzhuo.”

“Tao’er!”

“Mother,” Bai Juntao interrupted Lin Bailian, “she no longer dotes on your aunt. She must have fallen for Bai Junzhuo’s witchcraft. She’s the only one in her heart! She’ll get rid of you sooner or later!”

Lin Bailian only shook her head. She really did not dare to be enemies with Madam Zou.

Seeing her like this, Bai Juntao fell silent for a while and said, “Alright, Mother, think about it again. Although Second Uncle treats you well, he will not dare to be with you because of Grandma. If Grandma dies, you can openly fall in love with Second Uncle, and everything in the Bai Family is yours.”

This sentence stabbed into Lin Bailian’s heart like a barb. She suddenly remembered that Xuan Nu had told her before that she wanted to deal with Old Lady together.

“Also, I heard that Grandma is looking for a suitable girl for Second Uncle to join the manor.”

Lin Bailian’s body trembled as she looked up at Bai Juntao.

Bai Juntao smiled gently, “Daughter is waiting for your good news at the temple.”

In the burning courtyard, Bai Junzhuo was preparing the food for the mice today. Fu Mingyue knocked on the door and entered.

Bai Junzhuo turned around and saw that she had already removed the gauze. Her face was perfect and flawless. He was happy for her in his heart and said, “You are all well!”

Fu Mingyue smiled and nodded before kneeling at Bai Junzhuo’s feet.

Bai Junzhuo was shocked and hurriedly went over to help her.

Fu Mingyue did not get up and said, “Miss, Mingyue is here to say goodbye to you today.”

Bai Junzhuo’s face revealed reluctance, but he also smiled and replied, “I know that you have your own goals in life, and I won’t force you to stay. Get up quickly. I hate people kneeling around the most.”

Only then did Fu Mingyue stand up.

“Miss’s kindness towards me is like that of a new parent. I don’t even know how to repay you, Miss.”

“How many times have I told you? You cultivated all of this yourself. It was you who saved me that I helped you.” Bai Junzhuo smiled indifferently and asked, “When do you plan to leave?”

“Now.” Fu Mingyue replied.

Bai Junzhuo nodded and shouted, “Xingzi, come in.”

Xingzi hurriedly ran in. “Miss, what’s wrong?”

“Mingyue is leaving. Go get a thousand silver taels and interrogate her.”

“Yes.” Xingzi answered, turned around and ran out.

Fu Mingyue hurriedly said, “No, Miss is so grateful to me. How can I have the nerve to ask for Miss’s money …”

Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “Then you, a young lady, plan to beg for food all the way back to Xuchang?”

“I…”

Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and then said, “Moreover, with your current appearance, it is inevitable that you will meet a bad person if you go back alone. Why don’t you go and ask Young Master Yin for help? He is surrounded by people with high martial arts skills and asks him to send you back to Xuchang.”

“No,” Fu Mingyue hurriedly shook her head, “I have no friendship with Young Master Yin.”

“No problem,” Bai Junzhuo said, pulling her out. “Although he looks cold and heartless, he’s actually quite nice. He’ll help you.”

He pulled Fu Mingyue all the way to the guest room where Yin Xun was staying and told him the reason. Yin Xun agreed and asked Mo Ying to find someone to send Fu Mingyue back.

Bai Jun thanked Yin Xun and left with Fu Mingyue.

As soon as she left his room, Fu Mingyue said thoughtfully, “This Young Master Yin looks very familiar. I wonder where I’ve seen him before.”

Bai Junzhuo looked at her curiously. “So he really is famous. You said that you have seen him, and Lord Governor also said that you have seen him.”

Fu Mingyue thought carefully and shook her head, “Perhaps I remembered wrongly. I was only six years old when I left Xuchang. Even if I had seen Young Master Yin, I would still be like Young Master Yin as a child.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lizi running over in a panic and shouting, “Miss … Miss, Lord Cha has brought a large group of officers and soldiers to the Bai Manor to arrest you!”
