Upon hearing Si Yan's words, Ning Huan asked curiously, "Who is this lady?"
Si Yan said, "This lady's husband, Yu Chengren, is the nephew of the current county magistrate's wife. Therefore, the county magistrate and his wife dote on this nephew, his wife, and this unborn grand-nephew."
Hearing this, Ning Huan nodded: "I understand. So if this lady's safety cannot be guaranteed, Renjitang's reputation will suffer in the future."
Si Yan nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "I really wasn't sure about this matter, which is why I asked Madam Ning Huan to help me this once, and to help Renjitang this once. Besides..."
Si Yan paused for a moment: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Madam Ning Huan, this is about saving the lives of a mother and child."
Ning Huan knew the situation was critical and the matter was serious, so she also became serious.
As soon as the carriage stopped at Renjitang, they heard someone shouting angrily at the entrance: "Help! Where is your manager?!"
“My wife gave birth in your clinic, and your manager wasn’t there. Do you think your few doctors are qualified to deliver my wife’s baby and save her life?”
As soon as Ning Huan stepped off the carriage, she saw the person who was speaking. He was dressed very richly, but his attitude and tone of voice were extremely annoying.
Si Yan led Ning Huan inside, but the man blocked their way: "Stop!"
He pointed at Si Yan and asked, "You're the shopkeeper? I was wondering where you'd gone at this hour, running all this way to pick up a village woman?"
"Could it be that my wife is inferior to this village woman?"
Si Yan originally didn't want to pay attention to this man, but considering his identity, she had no choice but to force herself to say, "Young Master Yu, this lady is not just a simple village woman; her medical skills are extremely high. With her here, Madam Yu and her child's lives have an extra layer of protection."
Yu Chengren rolled his eyes, then looked Ning Huan up and down: "Your clinic doesn't even have a doctor who can save my wife and child? You had to find a village woman to come here?"
Ning Huan said coldly, "Young Master Yu, if you don't believe in my abilities, or if you look down on my status, I can understand. But do you know what you're doing right now?"
Yu Chengren raised an eyebrow: "What am I doing?"
Ning Huan replied, "You are taking the lives of your wife and child. While you are talking to me, your wife is giving birth and her life is in danger with every breath. As doctors, we should be by her side."
“If she had any problems, we could have discovered them immediately and treated her with medication. But you're using this precious time to make things difficult for me. Do you think you're looking down on me…”
Ning Huan paused for a moment: "You're actually trying to kill your wife and child!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chengren nervously swallowed. But he still pretended to be angry: "What nonsense are you talking about, you village woman? How could anything happen to my wife and child?"
"If you weren't worried, you wouldn't have brought your wife to the clinic to give birth, would you?"
"What did you say?!"
Seeing that the young master of the Yu family was about to get angry, Si Yan quickly stopped him: "Young master Yu, what this lady said is right. Now is not the time to argue. The lady's condition is indeed very bad. We should let the lady go in and take a look at her."
Officials advised him against it, and Yu Chengren finally gave up.
As soon as Ning Huan entered the lady's room, a strong smell of blood filled the air.
She frowned, a vague sense of unease creeping over her.
Sure enough, before she could even ask a question, the medicine girl beside her shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Madam Yu is bleeding and having a difficult labor!"
Because it was inconvenient for male doctors to enter the room to treat the women who were giving birth, even the young apprentice was replaced by a female medicine doctor to accompany the midwife during childbirth.
So even if the doctor at the door heard this, he had no idea what Madam Yu's condition was or what medicine to use.
Hearing about this business outside the door, Si Yan broke out in a cold sweat. He called out to the young healer, "This lady Ning Huan is the female doctor I invited. Leave everything inside to her. Just tell her what happened."
Upon hearing this, the young medicine girl bowed to Ning Huan and said, "Madam just fainted from the pain. We gave her a soup to replenish her qi and blood, and she regained some consciousness before starting to exert herself again."
"But the lady suddenly started bleeding heavily, and it seems that only one of the child and the mother can be saved."
Hearing this, Ning Huan frowned. Her purpose in coming here was not just to save her own life; she wanted both mother and child to be safe.
Ning Huan checked on Madam Yu's condition and realized that the baby was about to be born. They should deliver the baby first to prevent it from choking on blood.
At the same time, she had to stop the bleeding immediately. As Madam Yu exerted herself during childbirth, a large amount of blood would flow out of her body rapidly. By the time the child was successfully delivered, even a miracle couldn't save Madam Yu's health.
She reached into the medicine basket to block everyone's view, and then took the opportunity to retrieve a Blood-Replenishing Pill from her consciousness space.
"These are blood-tonifying pills. Give them to the lady first. Then have the doctor outside brew a few bowls of hemostatic decoction."
After hearing this, the young medicine girl hurriedly fed the pill to Madam Yu. As soon as it was in, Madam Yu weakly asked Ning Huan, "My lady, am I going to die...?"
"If I die, please, my wife, save my child. This child hasn't even had a chance to come into this world..."
Ning Huan comforted her gently, "Madam Yu, don't worry, I will do my best to treat you. I will make sure you and your child are safe and sound."
She knew that at this moment, Mrs. Yu needed more emotional support and trust.
It was probably because the medicine Ning Huan fed her had taken effect, or perhaps Ning Huan's words truly gave Madam Yu the strength to support her.
Madam Yu suddenly regained her strength and began to exert herself again. But this was followed by even more profuse bleeding.
Ning Huan frowned. In the current situation, the hemostatic medicine she had the doctors outside prepare for Madam Yu was simply not enough to stop the bleeding.
The only solution is to retrieve another dose of hemostatic ointment from the consciousness space, dissolve it in the hemostatic medicine, and drink it.
Fortunately, the doctors outside were worried that this might happen, so they had already instructed the young apprentice to prepare various medicines and start brewing them.
The hemostatic medicine was prepared well in advance.
The medicinal soup was quickly prepared and brought in. Ning Huan dissolved half of the blood-clotting ointment into the soup and gave it to Madam Yu to drink.
Sure enough, after a short while, Madam Yu's bleeding stopped significantly.
With a cry, a chubby little boy was born, and Madam Yu successfully gave birth to a baby boy.
The midwife wrapped the baby up and happily carried him out, exclaiming, "It's born! It's a little boy!"
