Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 67

Chapter 067 White Lotus’ Intent
Xingzi sniffed hard and said, “Is there a dead mouse in Miss’s room?”

Bai Junzhuo frowned, “Don’t disgust me, that’s impossible.”

“Later, this servant will clean up Miss’s room and see what is rotting.”

“No need. It’s so late now. You can go back to your room and sleep first. You can clean it tomorrow.” Bai Junzhuo shook his head.

“This servant knows.”

Xingzi tidied up a little and left the room. Ah Qing was full of food, so she sat on the stool and dozed off. Her little head was slowly tidying up, and her body was also starting to tilt upside down.

This was too cute. Bai Junzhuo extended his finger and poked his face. Ah Qing opened her eyes in a daze and asked, “Mother, is Daddy back?”

Bai Junzhuo nodded his nose and said softly, “It’s not Mother, it’s Big Sister.”

Ah Qing looked at her blankly and yawned, “Big sister, you’re sleepy.”

“Can you go back to your room and sleep? I can’t carry you back with me because of the injury on my sister’s foot.”

“Yes.” Ah Qing nodded and climbed down from the stool. She quickly ran to Bai Junzhuo’s bedside, took off her shoes and climbed up. She hugged her pillow and fell asleep.

“Ah Qing, that’s my bed!” Bai Junzhuo walked over slowly. Seeing that Ah Qing was already asleep, he smiled helplessly. He bent down and covered Ah Qing with a quilt. When he got a little closer, he could smell the soft milk fragrance on Ah Qing’s body.

Bai Junzhuo sniffed again and was surprised to discover that there was only this milk fragrance. The rotten stench had completely disappeared.

She wandered around the room for a while and sniffed around, but there was no such smell.

What exactly was that smell? Why did he suddenly disappear?

Forget it for now, I’m also very tired today. It’s better for me to have a good sleep and think about it tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Bai Junzhuo opened his eyes and sat up. He lowered his head and saw that A Qing was sleeping soundly. Then, he gently got off the bed and dressed.

At this moment, the door was opened with a click. A maidservant that Bai Junzhuo could not call her name walked in and said respectfully, “Miss, this servant will serve you in your clothes.”

Bai Junzhuo sized her up and asked puzzledly, “Normally, things like this are done by apricots. Where is she?”

“Young miss, Xingzi feels unwell this morning, so I will ask this servant to come over to serve young miss.”

“Not feeling well?” Bai Junzhuo asked worriedly, “What happened to her?”

“Xingzi only said that his body was a little weak and he wanted to sleep a little longer.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded, thinking that he should personally take a look at it later. “What’s your name?” She asked.

“This servant is called Caifeng.”

She waved her hand and said, “Cai Feng, you don’t have to wait on me to get dressed. Just bring breakfast to my room.”

“Yes.”

Bai Junzhuo cleaned up properly. Coincidentally, Caifeng also brought in breakfast. It was the same coix seed soup and red bean cake as usual. Bai Junzhuo took a bite and suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked, “Why does this red bean cake taste different today?”

Caifeng said, “Young Master Shen Qing brought a cook over this morning. This breakfast was cooked by the new cook.”

“Shen Qing?” Bai Junzhuo was surprised, “Where is he? Go call him over.”

Caifeng went out, and soon Shen Qing came in.

Bai Junzhuo asked straightforwardly, “Why did you change my cook?”

“Master gave it to me.”

“Why would he change my cook?”

“What, does Miss Bai think that the new cook’s cooking skills are not as good as before?” Shen Qing asked.

“That’s not true,” Bai Junzhuo shook his head. “It’s just too good. It’s simply one of the best delicacies in the world. That’s why I feel strange. Where did you find a cook?”

“It’s the number one cook in Luoyang yesterday,” Shen Qing replied. “Master saw Miss Bai praising this cook endlessly, so she asked me to hire her over.”

Bai Jun’s face flushed red. Yesterday, she had only casually mentioned a few words. She didn’t expect that someone surnamed Yin would memorize them and hire this cook. Why was he so kind to her? Why did he feel so at ease!

“Master said that other people don’t know that Miss Bai was behind this poisonous pufferfish. They will definitely think that this cook’s poor cooking skills caused her reputation to be ruined. Her business will definitely drop drastically in the future. Why don’t we hire her here and help her out?”

Yesterday, she only cared about Ma Lianzhou and Shen Ze. She didn’t expect that she would harm Chef Niang. Fortunately, Yin Xun was thinking about Zhou Dao. Otherwise, when she thought about it, she would definitely feel guilty and uneasy.

Bai Junzhuo felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn’t know what she was unhappy about. She only whispered, “What a considerate man. He treats everyone so well.”

Shen Qing smiled and said, “Miss Bai misunderstood. Master said that Miss Bai is kind-hearted. If an innocent person is implicated, she will definitely feel uneasy. That’s why she wants to help this cook. I have been with Master for more than ten years, but this is the first time I’ve seen Master think so carefully about others.”

Bai Junzhuo’s face turned a little redder than before and he said awkwardly, “What nonsense? Your master must have forced me to promise him something again, so he deliberately made me owe him a favor!”

“Is that so?” Shen Qing laughed softly. “Miss Bai, don’t let down Master’s kindness.”

“You” Bai Junzhuo was speechless and paused for a while before saying, “Go and see my rats. They are all the straws of your master’s life.”

Seeing her say this, Shen Qing knew that she was shy, so she smiled and retreated.

Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and took a sip of the coix seed soup.

After breakfast, Bai Junzhuo wanted to go see the apricots. At this time, Mother He came over and said that Old Madame had asked her to come over.

Bai Junzhuo had no choice but to go with Nanny He first.

When he arrived at Madam Zou’s room, Bai Junzhao saw Madam Zou leaning against the couch. Just as he was about to salute, Madam Zou waved his hand to stop him and said, “Zhuo’er, come.”

As he spoke, the girl beside Madam Zou had already carried a chair over.

Bai Junzhuo sat down and smiled as he shouted, “Grandma.”

Madam Zou smiled and looked at her. “You stayed at Lord Cha’s Mansion the day before yesterday. Have you discussed your marriage with Lord Cha?”

That day, she went to Shen Ze’s house to check on Han Shi San and said so in order not to worry Madam Zou.

Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment and replied, “Grandma, I have already explained it to Lord Cha. There is indeed a misunderstanding between us. Lord Cha will not marry me.”

“Is that so?” Madam Zou didn’t seem to believe it, but he laughed for a moment and said softly, “Since that’s the case, then let’s let it go. This matter is also about your wish and mine. Nothing else can say.”

Bai Junzhuo said happily, “Thank you, Grandma, for your understanding.”

Mrs. Zou smiled and looked at her. Suddenly, she asked, “How has your concubine mother treated you recently? Your foot is injured. Has she ever seen you before?”

Bai Junzhuo was slightly stunned, then he nodded and said, “Auntie treats me very well. She went to see me yesterday and even gave me a box of Dragon Cleansing Oil.”

Mrs. Zou nodded and continued, “That’s good. She really did let you down before. After Tao’er entered the temple, her grandmother scolded her. Now she has the heart to repent.”

Bai Junzhuo suddenly came to a realization. No wonder Lin Bailian kept her head down these days when she saw her. Good food and medicinal ingredients were sent to her courtyard from time to time. It turned out that it was because of Madam Zou’s dignity.

“Actually, Lian’er’s nature isn’t bad. Grandma has been coughing a little these past few days. She even rushed over to make a medicinal pillow overnight and sent it over.” Madam Zou picked up the pillow behind his waist and handed it to Bai Junzhuo.

Bai Junzhuo sniffed under his nose and said, “It’s Genkwa. It clears away the heat and stops coughing. It’s really good for grandma’s health. Concubine mother has her heart set on it.”

‘”Yes,” Madam Zou smiled. “You’re not her biological daughter. It’s normal for her to treat you like that before. But now that Lan’er is outside and Tao’er has entered the temple, you’re her only daughter. If you have time, talk to her more, okay?”

Bai Junzhuo naturally didn’t care, but Lin Bailian treated her like a god of plague and probably didn’t want to talk to her.

She calmed down and smiled, “Grandma, don’t worry, I will.”

Madam Zou nodded. “Zhuo’er, Grandma is not feeling well recently. You are also injured. You have to take care of the Medicine Hall. Grandma wants to temporarily hand over the authority of the family to your concubine mother. What do you think?”

Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows. This was the real reason why Lin Bailian had changed recently. Once the authority of the clan was handed over to her, would she still be so responsible?

She, Bai Junzhuo, had the most important thing to do to save lives recently, so she didn’t want to be distracted from dealing with Lin Bailian.

Mrs. Zou saw her hesitation and said, “Zhuo’er, don’t worry. If Bai Lian really treats you badly in terms of food and clothing, tell Grandma that Grandma won’t let her bully you.”

Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “This is not the case. I believe Auntie will not do this. Grandma will hand over the authority of the clan to Auntie.”

Madam Zou looked at her with satisfaction. “So good.”

Bai Junzhuo smiled and chatted with her for a while before he got up and left.

Nurse He escorted Bai Junzhuo outside and saw a maidservant carrying a pot of things. He asked, “Is this the maidservant beside Grandma? I’ve never seen her before.”

Mother He smiled and said, “Third young miss, she is called Yingchun. I am ashamed to say that she is the niece of this old servant. Her family is poor, so this old servant brought her to the manor. Seeing that she is smart and favored by this old lady, I asked her to serve her closely.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and called for Spring Festival. He pointed at the item in her hand and asked, “What is this?”

“Third Young Miss, this is the Tremella Lotus Seed Porridge for Old Madame. At this hour of the day, Old Madame drinks a pot of it.”

Bai Junzhuo opened the lid and looked at her, then said to her, “Yes, you can send it in.”

“Yes.”

After leaving in the spring, Bai Junzhuo said to Nanny He, “Nanny He, I have something to ask of you. I hope Nanny He will agree.”

Granny He was flattered and replied, “Third young miss, it’s fine. This old servant will definitely help third young miss.”

“Grandma has always been in good health, but just now I noticed that Grandma’s expression was not good. She was very weak.” Bai Junzhuo stared at Nurse He and slowly said, “I suspect that someone has made a move on Grandma’s food and clothing.”

Nurse He was shocked!
