Lihoumen

Chapter 61 Acupuncture
I don’t know whether it was the miraculous effect of Hua Yixian’s medicine or a psychological effect, but in any case, since Hua Yixian took over the treatment, the old lady has regained her spirit and her mood has improved as well.

After working hard for several days in a row, Li could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day, Qingqing had just finished learning the rules with Nanny Yu when Li came over with two personal maids.

When she saw Qingqing, Li ordered her maid to present the gift and said with a smile, "Mother's injury healed so quickly this time, all because of the Chinese doctor Xianer invited by my sister-in-law."

She pushed a pair of jade bracelets in front of Qingqing and said, "This is a thank you from me as your elder sister-in-law." Then she pointed to the old mountain ginseng in another box and said, "This is a thank you gift for Hua Yixian'er. Since you invited her here, you should trouble her to make a trip to show our sincerity."

Qingqing pushed the bracelet back to Li after hearing this: "Mother-in-law is injured, and it is our duty as daughters-in-law to help. I really can't accept this." Then, she turned her eyes to the ginseng: "Since this is a gift for Hua Yixian, I have no problem making a trip, but I'm not sure whether he can accept it."

Seeing that Qingqing was not hypocritical and her words were clear and honest, Li couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, even though those two have better backgrounds than you, they are not as good as you in terms of character and personality."

Although Li also looked down on Qingqing's background, after getting along with her for a few years, she actually still liked Qingqing very much. It was just that she didn't dare to show it too much due to the intimidation from her mother-in-law.

"It's not tiring to get along with you." Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said again.

Qingqing smiled and didn't respond.

Today, there were only two sisters-in-law, so Li was less cautious. She put down the teacup, glanced at Qingqing's belly, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement?"

Seeing Qingqing shaking her head shyly, Li showed a little disappointment on her face and said, "There is no one else in Third Brother's room. You have to seize the opportunity and have a baby soon."

Giving birth to a child earlier will make your position more secure.

Although Li didn't say it clearly, she had actually accepted Qingqing in her heart. Although the old lady had always wanted Lin Ruoqing to marry Shen Han, in Li's opinion, this virtuous Qingqing was better than Lin Ruoqing, who was married but had an unclear relationship and stayed in the Marquis' Mansion.

"The matter of offspring all depends on Tianyi, there is no need to rush." ​​Qingqing said.

"Although it is God's will, it is also up to human efforts. I do have a prescription for abortion. I will have someone bring it to you someday." After saying this, Li smiled awkwardly and said, "I forgot that you are proficient in medicine."

Qingqing's background as a female doctor was something that people criticized.

As soon as the words came out, Li realized her mistake and quickly said, "I didn't mean anything else, please don't be offended."

Qingqing smiled faintly and said generously: "I know that my sister-in-law has good intentions."

The two sisters-in-law were talking here when Wang Ma, the gatekeeper, led the steward of Li's courtyard into the house. Li straightened her body, raised her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

The steward replied, "Madame Mei is in labor. I'm afraid she's about to give birth."

A trace of annoyance flashed across Li's face, but only for a moment, and she returned to normal.

"Didn't the midwife already be prepared? Have you asked her to come over?" asked Mrs. Li.

The manager replied, "The midwife has gone, but I heard that Aunt Mei's baby feels quite big, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth." Li said nothing, and turned to Qingqing, "I have to go back and take a look. I'd like to say goodbye."

"Since there is something going on in the yard, please go back quickly, sister-in-law."

After seeing Li off, it was still early, so Qingqing asked Lingzhi to order someone to prepare the car. Then she took the ginseng that Li had asked her to give to Hua Yixian and went out, heading straight for Xuanji Medical Clinic in the south of the city.

When Hua Yixian and his wife saw Qingqing, they warmly invited her to the back house. Hua Yixian's wife Zhang was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears.

"Look, Sister Su's daughter has grown up so much. When I gave birth to Tong'er, my sister and I whispered in private that if Sister Su gave birth to a daughter in the future, she would become my in-law."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Seeing his wife talking without restraint, Hua Yixian interrupted her angrily.

Zhang Shi then realized that she had said something wrong and apologized hurriedly, "Look how happy I am. I just said the wrong thing." Then, she pulled Qingqing to sit aside and asked about her well-being, "I heard that you married the third son of the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion. The third son is a good man, but I heard that the old lady of the mansion is a powerful one. Girl, are they treating you well?"

Qingqing smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. I'm in the Marquis' Mansion, I'm fine."

The word "Aunt" touched Zhang's heart even more. She wiped her eyes and said, "Your mother was such a good person, but she didn't live long. Sigh! She was a great doctor, and she saved countless women. If it wasn't for your mother, I wouldn't have been able to give birth to my son." As she spoke, she pouted at her husband and said angrily, "Even he was helpless. In the end, your mother was the better doctor and gave birth to my child by caesarean section."

Hua Yixian was scolded by his wife. He was always proud and couldn't hold back his face. He snorted and said, "I was just young at that time and not good at gynecology."

"Stop pretending. Can you have a caesarean section like Sister Su did?"

Hua Yixian glanced at his wife and said, "The art of Qihuang is extensive and profound. It's just that everyone is good at different areas."

"Okay, you go ahead and chat with the girl. I'll go to the kitchen and ask someone to make some decent food and leave the child here for dinner."

After saying that, Hua Yixian walked out of the house.

Doctor Xiaorong saw his master leave, he was no longer afraid, and hurried forward to hold Qingqing, his eyes wide open: "Sister He, can your father really give birth by caesarean section? I have only seen this skill in ancient medical books, I didn't expect that there are really people in the world who can do it."

Before Qingqing could answer, Zhang said, "It was difficult when I gave birth to Tonger. Qingqing's mother cut open my belly to take the baby out. I still have a scar on my belly. It must be true." As she spoke, she raised her hand and poked Xiaorong's forehead, saying angrily, "You! You think your master is too great. You don't know that there are always people better than you. There are so many talented people in this world."

Doctor Xiao Rong's curiosity was aroused when he heard this, and he chased Qingqing and asked, "Sister, have you learned your father's unique skill?"

Qingqing said slowly: "When I was a child, I did see my mother perform a caesarean section on a woman who had a difficult labor. It's a pity that my mother passed away early, and I only learned the basics of this medical skill."

Doctor Xiao Rong thought about it for a moment, then said in confusion, "A cesarean section is actually no different from a normal surgery. It's just that when a woman gives birth, her blood vessels are opened up, and the most difficult thing is how to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, even if the fetus is successfully taken out, the woman will definitely bleed to death."

Xiao Rong is indeed the disciple of Hua Yixian. She pointed out the key point right away. Qingqing nodded and said, "You are right. My mother is good at acupuncture. Before performing a cesarean section, she can stabilize the meridians of the parturient, which can ensure the life of the parturient."
