The midwife originally thought Yu Chengren would be very happy to know he had given birth to a son, but even Ning Huan inside the house could hear Yu Chengren's voice:
"My wife hasn't come out yet, and her condition is still bad. It's all because of him that my wife is like this! Take this child away from me first!"
Upon hearing this voice, Ning Huan thought that Yu Chengren was indeed a man who loved his wife dearly.
However, after giving birth, Yu Niangzi lost a lot of blood again, and the effects of the hemostatic medicine had obviously worn off.
The young medicine girl standing nearby couldn't help but sob, "What are we going to do... Madam went through so much to give birth to this child, and all I can do is..."
Ning Huan said resolutely, "No, I will definitely save Madam Yu's life."
As she spoke, Ning Huan took out her acupuncture kit and began to apply needles. The young female acupuncturist beside her asked in surprise, "Madam, are you using acupuncture?"
She herself had only heard of acupuncture, which was said to be a medical technique used only by very skilled doctors. It was said that powerful acupuncturists could even pull a person back from the brink of death.
However, doctors who know acupuncture are all very skilled. Even among the imperial physicians in the capital, only one out of ten might know acupuncture.
She had only heard about all of this; she had never actually seen what acupuncture looked like.
The female healer before her was wielding silver needles, her wrists moving swiftly and accurately, each needle striking the acupuncture points with precision. The young healer silently guessed that this woman not only knew acupuncture, but was also exceptionally skilled in it.
Yu Niangzi's condition was different from Yang Xiaoshu's and Tu Sheng's, and Ning Huan's treatment of her was even more mentally and physically demanding. In no time, she was covered in sweat and panting heavily, but even so, Ning Huan's hand did not tremble in the slightest when inserting the needles.
After an incense stick had burned, Ning Huan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam Yu is saved; her bleeding has stopped."
Upon hearing this, the little medicine girl cheered happily, "That's wonderful! My wife, you're amazing!"
Ning Huan walked out with her hands covered in blood, and everyone immediately fell silent, staring intently at her. Even Yu Chengren, who had been chattering the whole time, stopped talking and silently looked at Ning Huan.
Si Yan looked at Ning Huan and said, "Madam Ning, how is Madam Yu...?"
Ning Huan looked everyone over, then chuckled and said, "Mother and child are safe, and Madam Yu's bleeding has stopped."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some people shed tears, while others laughed out loud.
The person shedding tears was Yu Chengren, standing at the door.
His eyes were red and his face was covered in tears as he looked at Ning Huan, his previous arrogance completely gone: "Female Doctor, is what you just said true? My wife... is she really alright?"
Ning Huan nodded: "That's good, don't worry. Let Madam Yu rest quietly for a month or two, during which time she should avoid water and not eat spicy or fishy foods. More importantly, give Madam Yu more foods that nourish her blood and qi."
Yu Chengren nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll write it all down. I'll prepare everything for my wife without missing a single one."
Seeing how the arrogant and domineering man had changed so drastically for his wife, Ning Huan, who had initially disliked Yu Chengren, now had a much better opinion of him.
Yu Chengren said somewhat embarrassedly, "Madam Physician, I looked down on you just now and ridiculed you. I apologize and thank you for saving my wife's life. Thank you also for saving my son's life. You are a benefactor to our Yu family!"
Upon hearing the young female medicine doctor say that Ning Huan used acupuncture, Si Yan asked in surprise, "What did you say? Did you see clearly? Is it really acupuncture?"
The young woman nodded and said, "That's right, I really saw it. This lady was definitely using acupuncture, shopkeeper. Didn't you see how skilled she was with the needles? Besides..."
She lowered her voice so that Yu Chengren wouldn't hear: "After giving birth to the young master of the Yu family, Madam Yu's health clearly deteriorated. I thought she was going to die, but this female doctor managed to save Madam Yu with acupuncture!"
Upon hearing the little medicine girl's words, Si Yan looked at Ning Huan with a gaze full of doubt.
He was surprised to find that the woman in front of him was so skilled in medicine. He had thought she was just a somewhat capable village doctor, but he never expected that she would also know acupuncture.
Thinking of this, Si Yan stepped forward and called out to Ning Huan, who was talking to Yu Chengren: "Madam Physician, may I have a moment to speak with you?"
Seeing that Ning Huan still had things to attend to, Yu Chengren bowed to her and said with a smile, "Since you, Madam Physician, have other matters to attend to, I will take my wife and child back to the manor first. I will certainly repay you handsomely in the future."
Ning Huan quickly said, "Young Master Yu, there's no need for that. I'm just doing my duty as a doctor."
Then he instructed Yu Chengren: "When you bring your wife back to the mansion, you must make sure she is not exposed to the wind. Wrap her up tightly and make sure she doesn't catch a cold. The same goes for the child; make sure the child doesn't catch a cold."
After noting Ning Huan's instructions, Yu Chengren turned and left.
At this moment, Ning Huan looked at Si Yan: "Manager Si, did you want to talk to me about something just now?"
Si Yan asked, "Madam Ning, I just heard that you know acupuncture, is that right?"
Ning Huan nodded lightly: "I only know how to write the basics."
Hearing Ning Huan agree, Si Yan was overjoyed. Although the young acupuncturist repeatedly said that Ning Huan's acupuncture skills must be exceptional, Ning Huan only said that she knew the basics.
Whether the young healer was exaggerating or genuinely admiring, whether Ning Huan was being modest or telling the truth, anyone who knows acupuncture is already exceptionally skilled.
And he was so lucky to have met this woman.
Thinking of this, Si Yan smiled and said to Ning Huan, "Renjitang really has to thank you for your help today. If it weren't for you, Madam Yu and her son would probably be in mortal danger. And Renjitang would probably be ruined from now on..."
Ning Huan replied, "Manager Si, what are you saying? First of all, saving a life is a doctor's duty. Besides, we already have a partnership. You only earn money by selling my medicinal herbs to you. If Renjitang goes out of business, where will I get my medicinal herbs?"
"Besides, Manager Si helped me before, treating my husband's illness and even getting him medicine for free. I haven't had a chance to thank Manager Si yet."
Si Yan smiled faintly and quoted Ning Huan's words from before: "What are you saying, Madam Ning Huan? Treating the sick and saving lives is the duty of a doctor. I was just doing what I should do."
