Su Yujiao cleaned her wounds and comforted her, saying, "It will get better. I will do my best to heal your leg."
Jin Mudan didn't say anything, assuming that she was just comforting herself.
Knock knock knock!
"Madam, Young Master Mo has invited a doctor. Have you finished cleaning up?"
After Jin Mudan finished tidying up, Su Yujiao went to open the door.
She had examined Jin Mudan's leg and already had a sense of the situation, but she still needed to have other doctors come and take a look, otherwise Mo Lingchen might not realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Please come in."
After the doctor went in, Mo Lingchen followed him in.
After examining Jin Mudan's leg, the doctor said to Mo Lingchen, "Young Master Mo, may I speak to you in private?"
Jin Mudan immediately said, "Say it to my face, the leg is mine, and I will face the rest of my life. There's no need to hide it from me."
The doctor glanced at Mo Lingchen, and the man nodded helplessly: "Speak."
"This young lady's leg is not dislocated, but rather has multiple fractures, and she is probably beyond saving."
"What's worse is that if those bone fragments aren't removed, the wound won't heal at all. Instead, they'll get stuck in the flesh and rot and ulcerate, causing unbearable pain and eventually threatening your life."
How do we remove those bones?
"I am not skilled in treating external injuries. Young master, you should go to the army and ask. The army doctors are skilled in treating external injuries. They may have to cut off this young lady's legs."
"After the cut, you must be able to stop the bleeding in time, otherwise you will bleed to death."
"Secondly, even if the bleeding is stopped, the wound must be properly treated. If the wound does not heal well, it will fester and ooze pus, and the high fever will not subside, ultimately leading to death."
"In short, young master, you should seek someone more capable. I am powerless to help."
Mo Lingchen suddenly swayed; he hadn't expected things to be so serious.
Originally, he thought the worst outcome would be that her legs would be crippled and she would never be able to walk again, but he never expected that it would also endanger her life.
Jin Mudan's face turned ashen, and she trembled with fear. Clearly, she hadn't expected it to be so serious.
"I don't want my legs cut off. I'd rather die from the pain than have them cut off."
She clutched her dress tightly, her emotions collapsing and spiraling out of control.
Su Yujiao's face was gloomy. She hadn't expected this outcome. She had only wanted to scare Mo Lingchen, make him feel guilty, leave Mudan, and make amends to Mudan.
But I never expected the doctor to make it sound so serious.
But he wasn't exaggerating; if surgery wasn't possible, she would indeed face the risk of amputation.
In addition, due to poor medical conditions in ancient times, it was difficult to effectively stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, which could indeed lead to death from infection.
"Get out, get out! You're a quack! It's not as serious as you're making it out to be."
Su Yujiao angrily pushed the person out and said to comfort her, "Trust me this once, I will definitely be able to cure your leg."
"Think about it, I can even cure the plague, let alone your leg."
"Really?" Jin Mudan looked at her with a skeptical expression.
"Of course, but it may take a while. It will probably take about six months to fully recover. After you recover, you will need to exercise regularly. After three to five years of recovery, dancing should be no problem."
"Really?"
Su Yujiao nodded with certainty, which gave her immense courage.
"But... you can't cure everything, otherwise why didn't you cure Uncle Su's eyes?"
Su Yujiao choked on her words, her father's eye had been damaged and his cornea needed to be replaced.
She couldn't have performed a corneal transplant before because she didn't have the special ability to do it, but things are different now. Maybe she can really help her father regain his sight.
"Just because I couldn't do it before doesn't mean I can't now. My medical skills are improving every day."
"Anyway, trust me, I won't lie to you."
"Didn't you say that there's nothing I can't do if I want to?"
"Why don't you believe me now?"
Seeing that she was full of confidence and didn't seem to be comforting her, Jin Mudan felt inexplicably at ease.
"Okay, I believe you."
"No matter what the final outcome is, I believe in you."
Su Yujiao found some wooden boards to help stabilize her first. After doing this simple treatment, she said, "I'll go back to get my medicine box and prepare the medicine. I'll be back soon."
"good."
Su Yujiao came out, and Mo Lingchen asked worriedly, "Madam Lu, can Peony's leg really be cured?"
He now knew Su Yujiao's identity, and naturally also knew that she had just returned from the front lines after curing the plague.
“We are already divorced. Young Master Mo, please still call me Miss Su, or you can call me County Princess.”
Mo Lingchen was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Lu Ziqian, seemingly not quite believing it.
The term "divorce" was really unfamiliar and niche to him. Could there really be women in the world who dared to divorce their husbands?
Lu Ziqian looked bitter, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say, since what she said was true.
He couldn't very well say that the Emperor had issued a decree for divorce; either way, he would lose face. It was best to remain silent.
When Mo Lingchen saw that Lu Ziqian remained silent, he knew it was true.
But judging from Lu Ziqian's expression, he still seems unable to let go of this Miss Su.
Sigh, every family has its own troubles!
"I misunderstood, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Is there any hope for Peony's legs?
"I don't know how I can help, but if you need medicine or money, please don't hesitate to ask."
Su Yujiao gave him a cold look: "Young Master Mo, you should take care of your own family matters first, so that Peony won't be implicated again."
"Since you can't give her anything, don't bother her."
“You are a high-ranking nobleman, and no one dares to do anything to you. She is just a powerless and weak woman, and anyone can come and trample on her. Since you can’t protect her, you might as well stay away from her.”
Su Yujiao left after she finished speaking, and Lu Ziqian immediately chased after her.
Su Yujiao knew he was following her, but she ignored him, treating him as if he were invisible.
Upon arriving at the courtyard in the east of the city, the Wei sisters immediately locked Lu Ziqian outside.
Su Yujiao took the two gold ingots and went back inside. She was going to buy some surgical tools and medical equipment, which she estimated would cost a lot of money.
Her thousand-odd coins weren't even enough to buy medicine, and she wasn't sure if the vases and porcelain here would sell, since the Great Ming Kingdom was a fictional dynasty created by the author.
Therefore, gold is still the most suitable material, as it is a hard currency everywhere.
Su Yujiao took the two gold ingots to a relatively large recycling shop to sell them, because she was worried that the gold was not pure, and this shop offered a purification service.
"Is this an old item?"
"Yes, it was passed down from my ancestors. There was a sick person in the family who urgently needed money, otherwise we wouldn't have been willing to sell it."
"Judging by its color, this large ingot is probably not pure."
"Could you purify it for me?"
"Okay, let me weigh it for you first, and then we'll see how much it weighs after purification."
Su Yujiao waited for more than an hour. After the two large ingots were refined by fire, they became two large gold bars. The original one-kilogram ingots still had eight hundred grams left.
Based on the gold price of 251 per gram that day, the buyback price was 240 per gram, so 800 grams of gold would be worth a total of 192,000 yuan.
