Married to a Villainous Minister

Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.

Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...

Chapter 597 Can I Still Have a Baby?

When they arrived at Kanjing Hutong, Mu Chen, the eldest master of the Mu family, was still waiting in the main hall. When he saw Yu Jiao come in, he stood up and said, "This girl must be Doctor Yu, right? My second brother mentioned you in his letter, saying that it was Doctor Yu who cured his stubborn carbuncle on his back."

Yu Jiao nodded to him. When she heard him say that Mu Yan mentioned her in the letter, she couldn't help wondering, was it Mu Yan who told the Mu family's grandfather about the cesarean section in the letter? It had nothing to do with Wang Min and Lin Fang. Was she just overthinking it?

The elder of the Mu family said, "Let's not waste any more time talking about small talk. My daughter-in-law is in critical condition. I would like to ask Dr. Yu to come with me to the mansion right now."

Yu Jiao nodded and said okay, and the few of them walked outside.

Yu Jiao got on the carriage and saw Yu Qizhe following her. She smiled and said, "You don't have to go. I have my sister to help me. You should stay at home and study hard."

Yu Qizhe stepped onto the carriage and said, "I'm worried."

Yu Jiao knew it was probably Qin Guang's fault, which made Yu Qizhe always worried about her going out alone. She smiled helplessly and said, "She is going to the home of Master Mu. Nothing will happen. Besides, Jianjia and Bailu are following us. You are a man, and I am going to see Madam Mu. It will be inconvenient for you to follow me."

After hearing this, Yu Qizhe thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll pick you up later."

Seeing that he cared about her so much, Yu Jiao felt very sweet in her heart. She smiled and nodded, "Okay."

It took the time of an incense stick to get to the Mu Mansion from Kanjing Hutong. After the master of the Mu family gave instructions to the gatekeeper, the driver drove straight into the mansion, passed through the screen wall, and came to the backyard.

After Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling got off the carriage, the head of the Mu family led them to the courtyard of the young lady of the Mu family.

Mu Nianyang, the eldest son of the Mu family, was pacing in the courtyard. When he saw the eldest master of the Mu family, he asked hurriedly, "Father, has the female doctor been invited?"

Uncle Mu nodded and led Yu Jiao into the house.

Seeing Wang Min talking to Madam Mu in the house, Yu Jiao realized that she had not thought too much about it before. It was indeed Wang Min's doing that the Mu family came to her.

"Doctor Yu, nice to see you again." Wang Min was very kind this time. As soon as he saw Yu Jiao coming in, he spoke with a smile.

Yu Jiao glanced at him indifferently without saying anything.

Wang Min didn't care. He turned around and said to Madam Mu, "Female Doctor Yu is a highly skilled doctor, especially in cesarean section. With Female Doctor Yu here, Madam Mu and her child will be safe."

Madam Mu said to Yu Jiao as if she had grasped a lifeline, "The lives of my daughter-in-law and her unborn child are now in the hands of Dr. Yu."

Yu Jiao ignored Wang Min's compliments and said, "I have to go check on the young lady's symptoms first."

Mu Nianjiu hurriedly said, "Mother, please take the female doctor to Qingqing's room."

Madam Mu led Yu Jiao into the side room. The midwife was standing at the end of the bed at a loss. The hot water in the wooden basin beside her had turned red. When she saw Madam Mu coming in, she said helplessly, "Madam, the young lady is still unable to help."

Madam Mu's eyes were red and her face was covered with sweat. She cried and called Madam Mu "mother" and blamed herself, "What's wrong with me? I have the strength, but I can't use it!"

Madam Mu quickly walked to the bedside and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Qingqing. Your father has invited Dr. Yu to come. You and the child will be fine."

Yu Jiao walked to the bedside to feel Su Qingqing's pulse and found that she was in good spirits. She was not like other women who were too weak to exert any strength during childbirth.

"How many fingers is the cervix dilated? When did the amniotic fluid break?" Yu Jiao asked after feeling Su Qingqing's pulse.

The midwife who was delivering the baby said, "The amniotic fluid broke two hours ago, and the young lady's cervix is ​​four fingers dilated. Logically, the birth should be very smooth, but unfortunately, the young lady...can't use any force."

Yu Jiao went to the end of the bed, lifted the thin blanket covering Su Qingqing, looked carefully at the situation under her, and said, "Madam, try harder."

Su Qingqing grasped the corner of the quilt, gritted her teeth and used all her strength, but the force could not reach her lower body.

Madam Mu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Su Qingqing's face. She said, "Qingqing was in good health before giving birth. We had invited Doctor Wang to check her pulse and she had been taking pregnancy-preserving medicine. I don't know what happened..."

Su Qingqing's pulse was solid and strong. She was not weak and her cervix was well dilated. Logically, she should have been able to give birth naturally. However, the strange thing was that although Su Qingqing exerted so much force that veins bulged on her forehead, she actually did not generate any strength at all.

But the amniotic fluid has broken for more than two hours, and time is urgent. If we delay any further, it will be harmful to the baby in the womb.

Yu Jiao didn't say anything more and asked Jianjia and Bailu to prepare licorice water and pepper salt water for Su Qingqing's caesarean section.

There was no fear on Su Qingqing's face. It was obvious that before Yu Jiao came, someone must have told her that she would give birth to the child through caesarean section.

After the preparations were done, Yu Jiao asked Madam Mu to go out and wait, leaving only the midwife and Yu Fuling in the room to help Yu Jiao.

During the cesarean section, Su Qingqing was in very good condition. She was conscious and in good spirits the whole time. She felt no pain after the anesthesia, which she found very magical. She even chatted with Yu Jiao from time to time.

After dealing with the amniotic fluid and taking the baby out, Yu Jiao squeezed out the mucus and amniotic fluid in the fetus's mouth and nose, and the baby immediately burst into tears. Su Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound, and also shed tears of excitement.

After Yu Jiao tied the umbilical cord, she handed the baby to the midwife. After dealing with the placenta, she and Yu Fuling sutured the incision.

The midwife gently wiped the blood off the baby's body, wrapped it in a soft cotton quilt, and said to Su Qingqing with a smile, "Congratulations, Madam, it's a daughter."

She carried the child to the bedside and showed it to Su Qingqing, "Look, the little lady's mouth and eyes really look like yours."

Su Qingqing's face was filled with a happy smile. She looked at the baby lovingly and reached out to touch her chubby and tender cheek.

The little girl cried loudly. When the people from the Mu family outside the house heard the baby's cry, the heavy expressions on their faces relaxed and a little smile appeared in their eyes.

Wang Min also had a smile on his face. He went outside under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Su Qingqing asked the midwife to take the little girl outside to show her parents-in-law and husband. The Mu family members were all focused on the newborn baby, and they were vying to hold the child. They did not notice that Wang Min left for a full incense stick of time before returning.

After Yu Jiao sutured the wound, applied medicine and bandaged it, and reminded Su Qingqing of the things to pay attention to. "The suture thread is made of sheep intestinal mucosa, which can be absorbed by the body. It will be completely absorbed and disappear in about a month. However, the suture wound may leave a not-so-obvious white scar."

Su Qingqing smiled and said, "It's okay." She didn't care about this. She was not one of those concubines who relied on her beauty to win favor and was afraid that a man would dislike her if there was a trace of ugliness on her body.

She was the young lady of the Mu family, and she only wanted to have more children for the Mu family, so she asked nervously and concernedly, "Can I still have children in the future?"
