Chapter 114 Difficult Delivery
Sun Tingyun frowned. To be honest, he was very angry when Jiang Wan deceived and threatened him to come to the Jiang family.
He was mainly angry because the old man in his family was so confused that he had a relationship with the Duke Ling's Mansion for some unknown reason. Otherwise, his father was the imperial physician after all, so why would he, the second son, be forced to take charge of a woman's childbirth?
In other words, the girl from the Jiang family was smart. She figured out a bunch of rare things like masks and alcohol, and also proposed that sword wounds needed to be disinfected to effectively prevent fever and pus, which opened up a new field of knowledge for him.
That's why he was able to stay in Lao Jiang's house willingly to study things during this period. Otherwise, as a well-known expert in medicine and the heir of a family of imperial physicians, how could he go to someone else's house to be a court physician?
But how could such a small matter, which he had been able to handle with such ease, be on the verge of failure? If the Lady of the Duke of Lingguo really made a mistake in his hands, wouldn't the reputation of his Sun family, a family of imperial physicians, be shattered?
"Miss Jiang, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat but he quickly calmed down and patted his sister's hand soothingly.
"Second brother, you watch here. If anything happens, just call me!"
"sister…"
"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon!"
Pushing her sister's hand away, she hurriedly followed Doctor Sun into the dining table in the east wing. Seeing him pick up the bowl of sweet soup on the table, she immediately asked cautiously.
"But is there something wrong with this soup?"
"Um."
Sun Tingyun scooped a spoonful, smelled it carefully again and again, and then took a light taste before he could confirm it.
"This lotus seed and red date soup is based on safflower soup, and it seems to have Dangbao pills added to it. Fortunately, the Duke's wife was alert and realized that something was wrong and didn't eat too much, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Although he was not very familiar with the name of the ancient medicine, Jiang Wan had heard of this famous little thing, Honghua, which supported half of the online abortion literature world, many times.
"Is my mother in danger?"
"I checked your mother's pulse when I first came here. Fortunately, she didn't eat much of this soup, but there are still risks. This birth is tantamount to forcing the birth, and the damage to the mother's body will be irreversible. Moreover,"
Sun Tingyun put down the soup bowl and sighed.
"You must understand that the principles of yin and yang in this world all depend on the ripening of a fruit. There's an old saying among the people: seven lives, eight lives. Your brother didn't stay in the womb long enough before he was forcibly pulled out. The baby is bound to be very weak, and may even die. I hope Miss Jiang is aware of this."
Jiang Wan's body swayed but he quickly stood up again, bowing respectfully to the doctor.
"Thank you for your concern, Doctor Sun. Please feel free to treat me. No matter what the outcome, our Jiang family will never hold you accountable. Uncle Sun, please do your utmost to protect my mother and younger brother."
"A doctor's heart is like a mother's. I will naturally do my best. But Miss Jiang, your mother's condition can only delay her for another hour at most. If she still can't give birth smoothly, I'm afraid she'll have to use drugs to induce labor. By then, we might face the worst-case scenario. If we need to make a decision, what should we do?"
Jiang Wan clenched her fists tightly. The stinging pain of her nails digging into her palms helped her calm down and make a decision quickly.
"If it comes to the last moment, Bao Da!"
Looking at the calm and responsible eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and thinking about his own weak daughters, Sun Tingyun once again envied the rough and rough Duke Ling.
It is true that comparison makes one feel miserable. Smoke is coming out of the Jiang family’s ancestral grave, and the girl they raised is no worse than the eldest son of other families.
"Got it. I'll go get some Buddha's Hand Powder ready."
He started walking, but when he reached the door, he couldn't help himself. He stood at the door without looking back, but just muttered a few words in a low voice as if talking to himself.
"Although safflower is precious, it's not hard to find. However, this Dangbao Pill is quite hard to find nowadays. Well, it's not something that ordinary people can get their hands on."
"Thank you, uncle."
Jiang Wan bowed to him gratefully.
Sun Tingyun turned to look at this clever girl, and once again sighed inwardly, beating his chest. How could such a pretty, clever, and intelligent girl not be his own daughter? Sigh.
He waved his hand and strode to the side room to get a prescription and boil the medicine.
Jiang Wan walked out of the courtyard and called over his confidants.
"Cheng Zhuo, first bring your men over and arrest everyone in Qingpingju, then tie up the people in the kitchen! Ma Fei and Wang Bao, the two of you, immediately take your men to guard the gatehouse and the back door. Not a single dog is allowed in or out!"
"yes!"
As soon as the subordinates saw the eldest lady's expression, they knew that today's matter would probably not be resolved, so they hurried off to do their job.
"Sister, what happened?"
Jiang Han's face was filled with shock and doubt, especially when her mother's originally suppressed moans in the delivery room became increasingly shrill. After the maids and servants brought in basins of hot water and brought out basins of blood, she was trembling with fear.
"Don't panic."
Jiang Wan squeezed his sister's arm hard.
"If you're really scared, go back to Chunyun Garden first. I'll send someone to notify you to come over after your mother gives birth."
"No! I want to stay here too!"
His body was clearly trembling, but he was stubborn and refused to move.
"Our father is not at home, our grandparents are old, and the third child can't be relied on. I have to help you, how can I be a hindrance? And I'm not afraid, I just feel sorry for our mother..."
What this girl said was really sincere. It would be strange if she didn't feel heartbroken to see her own mother, who loved her the most since she was a child, suffer such a hardship!
"Then you just stay at the door and stop anything that comes your way.
If you see anyone who looks suspicious, call Cheng Zhuo over to tie that person up first, and I will interrogate him in detail later.
I'll put on some clean clothes and go in to see Mom. I'll leave this place outside the door to you, second brother."
"Um!"
The two sisters divided the work and worked together. Jiang Wan quickly changed her clothes and put on a hat and mask. She ignored Sister Qingzhu's persuasion at the door and went straight into the delivery room.
The inner room was filled with the stench of blood, accompanied by Xu's suppressed moans and Jiang's voice.
"Sister Yu, push harder! I can see the baby's head! Midwife, please help quickly. Ziyu, please change some clean cotton towels and bring them over!"
"Here it is, my aunt gives it to you!"
"I've already helped, but the Duke's wife hasn't reached the right time to give birth yet. Look, the child doesn't even want to move. How is she going to give birth?"
The whole inner room was filled with chaos. Jiang Wan frowned fiercely and walked forward quickly.
Mrs. Xu on the delivery bed was terribly pale, her messy hair was stuck to her face with sweat, and she was gasping for breath, still in great pain.
She could sense that something was wrong with the baby in her belly, so she tried her best to give birth to the baby quickly, but she seemed to be running out of strength.
"Sister, sister, please help me..."
Perhaps the pain made her head confused, and she seemed to see her sister standing beside her.
