The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

The next morning, Li Muxia opened her door feeling refreshed; she had slept very well the night before.

The door to the next room opened, and Dongfang Jincheng came out, smiling at Li Muxia.

When Li Muxia saw Dongfang Jincheng, she greeted him generously: "Ziheng, good morning."

Hearing her call his name so affectionately warmed Dongfang Jincheng's heart. How long had it been since anyone had called him by that name? The last time he heard it was when he was six years old, when his mother called him on her deathbed.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Jincheng's eyes reddened a little, but he quickly composed himself, walked up to Li Muxia, bent down slightly, and whispered in her ear, "Good morning, girlfriend."

Hearing Dongfang Jincheng's words and feeling his warm breath on her ear, Li Muxia's face involuntarily turned red.

Dongfang Jincheng was pleased with Li Muxia's blushing face, smiled slightly, and prepared to take Li Muxia's hand to go out for dinner.

Just then, Shangguan Jingye opened the door, and Li Muxia quickly dodged Dongfang Jincheng's hand and ran downstairs first.

Shangguan Jingye looked at Li Muxia, who was hurrying downstairs, with a puzzled expression, and asked Dongfang Jincheng, who was still standing there, "What's wrong with her?"

Dongfang Jincheng didn't answer him, he just smiled and followed him downstairs.

Shangguan Jingye scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, and followed them downstairs.

After breakfast, Li Muxia went to the street with Shangguan Jingye to inquire about her master.

As a result, they hadn't gone far when they saw their master carrying a medicine box, walking hurriedly towards them with a middle-aged man.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward. Bai Qingshi seemed to only then notice them, showing surprise for a moment before looking at Li Muxia with delight and saying, "You're here! That's great! Come with me!"

Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng quickly followed, listening as their master recounted the events.

It turns out that Master had been providing free medical services in Changping County for the past few days. His reasons were twofold: first, to wait for Li Muxia, and second, to ensure that Li Muxia and her group could find him quickly.

A pregnant woman was supposed to give birth in the middle of the night yesterday, but she couldn't deliver the baby even after three hours of labor.

The midwife said it was twins, a difficult birth, and there was nothing she could do.

The mother is now exhausted and unconscious. This family is not well-off to begin with, and they only found him early this morning after hearing about Bai Qingshi's free clinic, hoping he could save their wife and child.

After Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye understood, they realized the seriousness of the matter and dared not delay, so they quickened their pace to catch up.

Upon arriving at the new mother's home, they found her lying on the bed with a swollen belly, unconscious.

Bai Qingshi took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupoints on the woman in labor.

Not long after, the woman regained consciousness, and Bai Qingshi quickly asked her mother-in-law to prepare food to help her regain her strength.

Then he turned to look at Li Muxia and said, "Xia Mu, come and take a look. Is this condition suitable for surgery?"

Li Muxia understood what he meant. She walked over to the woman in labor, told the men in the room to leave, and checked herself. It was indeed a breech presentation, and it was twins. The labor had probably been going on for too long, and the babies were not in good condition. In this situation, an immediate cesarean section was necessary.

As Li Muxia went outside, she overheard the midwife saying to the woman's husband, "Old Wang, I know it wasn't easy for you to find a wife, but in this situation, it might really be a triple tragedy. In this world, it's rare for twins to be born safely. Either the mother dies, the child dies, or both mother and child die. What's more, your wife is having a difficult labor. Sigh, please accept my condolences."

Upon hearing the midwife's words, the man called Old Wang became completely distraught, collapsing to the ground with his head in his hands, a heartbreaking sight of a grown man crying.

Li Muxia walked up to the man, glared at the midwife, gently helped Old Wang up, and said, "Brother, don't cry. I have a way to save your wife and children, but the process is dangerous, so I need to ask for your opinion first."

Upon hearing that Li Muxia had a way to save his wife and children, the man wiped away his tears and said excitedly, "Dr. Xia, can you really save my wife and children?"

Li Muxia nodded, but didn't dare to make a 100% guarantee, saying, "Yes, at least we can save one side."

Upon hearing this, the man frowned slightly, but then he understood. It was better to save one side than to get the result the midwife had mentioned.

After thinking it through, the man grabbed Li Muxia's hand and said, "Dr. Xia, please save my wife and child. I'll kneel down for you."

As he was about to kneel down, Li Muxia quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Wang, don't rush to thank me. As I just told you, the treatment method is quite dangerous and also quite special. We need to get your opinions now."

Without a second thought, the man nodded and said, "Save them, no matter what method you use, as long as my wife and child can be saved."

After listening, Li Muxia briefly explained the surgery to the man, including the potential dangers involved.

The man hesitated after hearing this, but the midwife spoke first: "What? If you take off the belly, can the person still live? Old Wang, you should think carefully. Don't end up with your wife not even having a complete corpse."

Li Muxia really wanted to sew the midwife's mouth shut.

The man hesitated for only a moment before looking at Li Muxia and saying, "Dr. Xia, I believe in you. Dr. Shi has been providing free medical consultations here these past few days, and we have all witnessed his medical skills. I believe that with him here, the surgery you mentioned will definitely be successful."

Li Muxia was very fortunate that this man was reasonable; a woman in labor doesn't have that much time to persuade her family.

After receiving the man's reply, Li Muxia, Bai Qingshi, and Shangguan Jingye went into the inner room.

Similarly, Li Muxia also sought the consent of the pregnant woman for the surgery. The pregnant woman only wanted to save her child and agreed without much hesitation.

After administering anesthesia to the mother and disinfecting the surrounding environment, the surgery was prepared to begin.

When Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye saw Li Muxia cut open the pregnant woman's belly, their scalps tingled and goosebumps covered their bodies.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't shocked, but although he felt somewhat terrified, he still paid close attention to Li Muxia's every move.

Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye would also help Li Muxia wipe her sweat and clean the bloodstains from her belly after childbirth.

The crowd outside was also anxiously waiting. The man's mother was also outside, holding a fried egg prepared for the new mother.

Watching her son anxiously pacing back and forth at the door, she felt terrible. Because of their poverty, her son didn't get married until he was over thirty. He finally got pregnant, but now he's having a difficult childbirth. If things go wrong, he might lose both the mother and the baby.

Thinking of this, she put the bowl in her hand on the table, walked outside, and knelt down with a thud, saying, "God, please bless my daughter-in-law and grandson so that they may be safe and sound."

Seeing this, the man also knelt down before the old lady, similarly praying for divine protection.
