Chapter 392 Restarting the Exchange, Taking the Child Away
Ji Qingwu thought she should first ask the old man about the mother's condition so she could start treating her directly.
How is my older sister?
The old doctor didn't speak, but looked down at the pattern on the handrail.
Ji Qingwu walked up to him, her shadow casting shadows in the lamplight, and asked again, "How is the young master's wife?"
The old doctor raised his head, his eyebrows turned white, and spoke in a voice more than five times louder than hers.
"Huh? What did you say?"
This old man is at least ninety years old, if not ninety-five. He's so deaf he can't even hear what's being said. I don't know where the Cui family found such an old relic.
This is the experienced doctor that Cui mentioned.
Ji Qingwu was certain that the Cui family was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Ji Qingrong, and even wanted her dead.
Ji Qingwu walked quickly towards the main room. She lifted the curtain and saw four midwives and two maids taking care of her.
These midwives seemed quite competent and composed.
The commotion and argument outside had been clearly heard inside. Fearing they would be tied up and thrown out the door, they retreated to the side with anxious expressions.
Ji Qingwu then noticed her elder sister lying on the canopy bed, seemingly in a semi-conscious state.
His hair was soaked with sweat, sticking stickily to his face, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he had a ginseng slice in his mouth to keep him alive.
Ji Qingwu's heart clenched, and he quickly stepped forward to touch Ji Qingrong's wrist.
After a long pause, she finally said, "You all go out."
Feng Shuang was right. The fetus in Ji Qingrong's womb was too large. It must have been due to a problem with her diet in the last month of pregnancy. In addition, her elder sister's birth canal was narrow, which made it easy for her to have a difficult delivery.
Then Cui hired a quack doctor.
Ji Qingrong and the baby in her womb both had very weak pulses, but as long as there was a breath left, they could be saved.
Ji Qingwu looked out the window; it had returned to quiet.
But Chunxing hadn't returned yet, and Ji Qingwu had nothing of use at hand, so he could only call upon the system.
[Host, did you call me out to exchange for a boost to the nation's fortune?]
Ji Qingwu said, "Peanut, I want to use my points to exchange for Miraculous Healing Hands so that my older sister can give birth to her child smoothly."
The system paused for a few seconds before responding.
[Host, since we are currently operating with two systems running in parallel, the National Fortune Enhancement System is on duty on odd-numbered days, and the Childbirth System will take over on even-numbered days.]
After hearing this, Ji Qingwu's vision went black.
"What's with this shift system, you electronic system?"
She was furious: "When did this happen?! How come I, the person bound to the system, was completely unaware of this?"
[This took effect at 0:00 today. The terms of the agreement have been updated, and we are preparing to notify the host.]
The dog system was intentionally designed that way.
Who has time to read through every single clause of the agreement?
Besides, so much time has passed since today, and it was only when she contacted it that it was informed.
But this system has done far too many unreliable things.
Ji Qingwu, needing someone's help, could only grit his teeth and say, "Take as many points as you want. My elder sister is waiting to be saved. Quickly summon the Childbirth System for me."
[Host, the childbirth system is currently offline for maintenance and will be available again at midnight tomorrow.]
Ji Qingrong couldn't wait that long, and neither could the fetus in her womb; every moment of waiting increased the danger.
She was confident in her medical skills, but ultimately they were not as quick and effective as the system.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Qingwu thought of another method and said, "Can't we force a restart?"
A forced restart may damage the system, rendering it unusable afterward.
"Restart".
Ji Qingwu did not hesitate at all.
But, host, you still have hundreds of thousands of points you haven't used yet.
No matter how Ji Qingwu listened, he could tell that the broken system's mechanical voice carried a sense of joy.
"Points are nothing compared to human lives. Force a restart now."
[Okay, we'll restart the childbirth system for you now. Please wait a moment.]
Ji Qingwu's eyes darted around as she lightly bit her lower lip, seemingly plotting something.
Soon, the system went online with a notification sound.
[Host, we will now redeem the Miraculous Healing skill for you. Now, let me confirm whether the intended recipient is Ji Qingrong, the wife of the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor]
"Wait a minute."
Aren't you waiting for it urgently?
Ji Qingwu said with bright eyes, "Since restarting the system will cause system damage, this is the last chance to use points, I want to redeem them all!"
【...what...】
The mechanical sound was tinged with electrical current, like a poor connection.
Ji Qingwu said, "That's right. I should have enough points over the years to use all the functions of the childbirth system."
[Host, please think about it again. If you exchange them all now, you won't need so many.]
Ji Qingwu, who was always frugal, decided to indulge himself a little.
Rather than holding onto these numbers, knowing they might become worthless someday, it's better to spend them now and enjoy them to the fullest.
Ji Qingwu swiped the panel in the smart brain and first redeemed and used the Miraculous Healing Hands.
Then, she added all the other things that could strengthen the body, nourish the skin and replenish energy, as well as some secret techniques.
"These users are myself."
Ji Qingwu quickly tapped the keys again.
"Painless childbirth, postpartum recovery... these will be added for the older sister."
A burst of dazzling golden light shone down on Ji Qingrong, who was lying on the bed.
Ji Qingwu's light was even brighter, dazzling and colorful, more beautiful than the rainbow.
It was midnight.
When Ji Qingrong opened her eyes, she felt as if she had just had a nightmare. In the dream, her body was being torn apart by pain, and she was bleeding almost to death.
The child in her womb was also dying and was going to die with her.
When Ji Qingrong woke up and regained consciousness, the first thing she did was touch her stomach.
It was empty; the child was not inside her.
She immediately widened her eyes in horror.
She lifted the blanket and took off her clean undergarments. Her lower abdomen was free of loose fat, and she looked exactly as she had before she was pregnant.
There are no signs of pregnancy.
Not only that, she sat up without feeling any pain, and her lower body felt completely comfortable.
Ji Qingrong looked around at her surroundings.
This is......
This is the Marquis's residence, in Ninghua Hall, that's right...
What exactly happened...?
Chunxing carried a basin of hot water in from outside. When she saw that Ji Qingrong was awake, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, please lie down quickly. You have just given birth and you should not catch a cold."
Ji Qingrong quickly said, "Chunxing, come here."
Chunxing put down the basin of hot water and went to her bedside.
"The Fifth Miss specifically instructed that you should not be exposed to wind, and that you should eat warm food. She also left behind a nourishing prescription."
Ji Qingrong asked, "Then, what about my child?"
Chunxing said, "The child... the child was taken away by the Fifth Miss."
Ji Qingrong was increasingly confused and asked, "Fifth Sister took my child away?"
She suddenly understood, and tears streamed down her face.
"Has she been here?"
In such a helpless and difficult time, who else could help me? It must be Ji Qingwu.
With red eyes, Ji Qingrong asked, "Where is my fifth sister?"
