Chapter 124 Liu Feifei's Difficult Childbirth

"Get out of the way, your mother's condition is not good! Don't delay our treatment."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, the man quickly stepped back. Doctor Zheng immediately stepped forward, took the old woman's pulse, and diagnosed her with symptoms of lung yin deficiency.

Dr. Zheng looked grave, asked some basic questions, and then sighed.

"Doctor, how is my mother?"

Just as Dr. Zheng was about to say that the patient was terminally ill, he immediately realized that this was not their Zheng Family Clinic, but a century-old clinic with the renowned Physician Luo in charge.

He asked the man to wait a moment while he called for a consultation.

Upon hearing Doctor Zheng's description of the situation, Old Man Luo immediately perked up and also invited Bai Wanqing over.

The three of them went to the ward together. When the man saw so many people, he wanted to question the doctor, but when he saw Luo Feng, he couldn't help but stop. The doctor had been very respectful to him, which meant that his medical skills were the best, so the man obediently shut his mouth.

Watching Old Man Luo take his mother's pulse.

Old Luo had seen many cases of this kind of illness; he had even visited a tuberculosis village once.

“The patient’s constitution is weak. In addition to herbal medicine, acupuncture should also be used, which may alleviate the symptoms.” Old Man Luo then quickly wrote down the prescription and handed it to the man.

The man was taken aback. "You mean there's still hope for my mother?"

"Did you know that your mother has tuberculosis?"

The man nodded. He had taken his mother to other doctors before, and they all said it was tuberculosis and incurable. But he was unwilling to give up. The doctors prescribed some medicine for his mother, but it had no effect and her condition was getting worse.

Today his mother started coughing violently again. He heard that a new clinic had opened in the city, and despite his family's objections, he brought his mother there anyway.

He didn't want to have any regrets.

"Now that we know it's tuberculosis, it's naturally a difficult disease to treat!"

The man slumped his shoulders, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"But it's not incurable. Although I can't be 100% sure I can cure her, I'm 90% sure I can alleviate her symptoms and prevent the disease from threatening her life."

Old Man Luo's words rekindled the man's hope, and he burst into tears of joy.

The man in front of him was excited, as was Doctor Zheng standing beside him.

He truly is a miracle doctor! This is tuberculosis! In their eyes, such a severe case would be certain death, but the miracle doctor says it can still be saved.

At this moment, Doctor Zheng stared intently at the prescription in the man's hand, his eyes sparkling.

Old Man Luo disliked the man's wailing and shooed him away: "What are you still standing there for? I'm going to give your mother acupuncture now. Go to the front hall to get the medicine and brew a dose right away."

The man immediately stopped crying, staggered to his feet, and turned to walk out.

Doctor Zheng followed immediately after the man and said warmly, "Come on! This way, please. Let me get you the medicine."

The man didn't understand why Doctor Zheng looked so radiant, but despite his hesitation, he followed him.

Master Luo and Bai Wanqing were still in the room. After explaining the key points of acupuncture to Bai Wanqing, he asked, "How is it? You'll treat this patient?"

This was Bai Wanqing's first time treating such a seriously ill patient, and she felt somewhat uncertain.

“It’s alright. I know you have your own understanding of acupuncture. I’ve read your annotations in the manuals your mother left behind. You have absolutely no problem with the theoretical knowledge.”

"But as for the acupuncture!"

Master Luo looked at Bai Wanqing, waiting for her response.

"Don't worry, Master! I can do it! Although I've never actually given acupuncture to patients, I've experimented on my own body quite a bit. I'm confident."

Master Luo gave a soft "hmm" and then handed a mask to Bai Wanqing.

"This disease is still contagious, you should wear a mask."

Bai Wanqing took the mask, then took out her needle bag and began to perform acupuncture under the watchful eye of Master Luo. At first, she was very cautious, but after getting used to it, her pace became noticeably faster.

Old Man Luo was very surprised by Bai Wanqing's technique, but then he understood. After all, she was Zirou's daughter, so it wasn't wrong for her to use the same technique.

After the acupuncture was administered to the old woman, her cough subsided and her breathing became more even.

Old Luo nodded in satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the ward. He returned to the front hall, where he happened to see Doctor Zheng writing something down rapidly with a pen.

It wasn't until Doctor Luo walked up behind him that he noticed, and his whole body jumped slightly, as if he had been caught red-handed.

Doctor Luo naturally noticed that Doctor Zheng was recording the prescription he had just written.

"Doctors should not memorize by rote, but apply their knowledge flexibly. Even if it is the same disease, different origins require different prescriptions."

Dr. Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded with gratitude. The miracle doctor was so kind, even giving him guidance.

However, Old Man Luo didn't think that way. He was really afraid that Doctor Zheng only had a superficial understanding and might harm others, which would diminish his merit.

With Bai Wanqing watching over the old woman, the man prepared medicine for his mother, and by the time he arrived, his mother was already able to sit up.

The man paused slightly, then cautiously entered the house. "Mother! Are you feeling better?" the man asked.

The old woman saw her son and smiled slightly, "Big brother, I'm much better! My chest doesn't feel so tight anymore! My cough has also lessened."

The man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes before he began to feed the old woman her medicine.

Seeing that the mother and son seemed to have something to say, Bai Wanqing gave them some instructions and then left.

"Young man, why do you have to offend the Fang family for my sake?" The old woman felt both happy and worried.

Wu Dalang, however, felt it was worth it. "Mother, you're already in such a state, how can we care about offending the Fang family?"

"What if it can't be cured here? Wouldn't that be a loss?"

“Mother, the doctor just said that it can be cured, so please focus on getting better! At worst, we can sell our property and find another way to make a living. Your presence is what makes our home.”

After hearing this, the old woman could only nod, "That's the only way."

Because the old woman's condition was quite serious, Old Man Luo left her at the clinic, and Wu Dalang also stayed to take care of her. Bai Wanqing left him an address so that he could go to the mansion to find her if there were any emergencies.

Wu Dalang stuffed the note into his pocket without even looking at it, and thanked Bai Wanqing and the others profusely.

Therefore, Bai Wanqing is in a good mood now, at least their clinic has a patient.

If you can have a first one, you can have a second one.
No one expected that this second person would not only arrive suddenly, but also have a very sensitive identity.

Late at night, in the residence of Magistrate Meng.

Liu Feifei was screaming in agony, and the servants in the Meng family were in a flurry of activity. Although Fang had given birth before, it was Old Madam Meng who presided over the event, and she had never presided over such a scene before, so it was normal for the Meng family to be in a panic.

Seeing that her young mistress was in so much pain that she was about to faint, Xiao Cui hurriedly went to find the midwife staying in the mansion.

When the midwife arrived, Liu Feifei was almost out of strength.

"Oh dear, madam, how can you call out like that! If you keep calling out like that, how will you have any strength left when you give birth?"

After the midwife finished speaking, she went to check on Liu Feifei's condition. She touched Liu Feifei's belly and her heart sank. "Madam, how did you bump into something? Why has the baby turned around?"

Liu Feifei didn't have the strength to reply to the midwife, so Xiao Cui did it.

"Just now, Madam accidentally bumped her stomach, that's why it started to hurt."

"We just thought she was about to give birth."

When the midwife heard that her belly had been bumped, she checked Liu Feifei's baby position again and then panicked.

"What are we going to do! The baby is breech, it's impossible to give birth!"

Liu Feifei felt a chill in her heart when she heard the midwife's words.

Xiao Cui told the midwife that she had accidentally bumped her stomach, but in reality, it was her good husband who pushed her for another woman.

Not only that, after Meng Zhan knocked her down, he left in a huff, completely disregarding her current dangerous situation.

Liu Feifei felt as if her body was being torn in two. "Find a doctor! Find a doctor!"

The midwife then remembered to look for a doctor, so Xiao Cui immediately sent a servant to the clinic to fetch one.

As Fang watched the servants rush off to fetch the doctor, her face paled. She grabbed Xiao Cui and asked, "How is she? What's Liu's condition now?"

Xiao Cui glanced at Fang Shi and said helplessly, "The baby was turned around by the impact and is now breech, so it can't be born. We need to call a doctor."

Fang released Xiao Cui and nodded, saying, "We should call a doctor, we should call a doctor."

Before long, the doctor invited by the Meng family arrived at the mansion. He was covered in sweat when he entered. He talked with the midwife for a while, and then touched Liu Feifei's baby position. His expression was also solemn.

"Let me try acupuncture on my wife first to see if I can turn the baby's position."

Liu Feifei was terrified. She was determined to try whatever method was available. With her permission, the doctor began to administer acupuncture.

Seeing that Madam Fang was completely unable to manage the situation, the maid Xiao Cui was also anxious. She took it upon herself to send someone to the Liu family to invite Master Liu over. She also made sure to send someone to inform Young Master Meng that his wife was about to give birth and that he should come back quickly.

After explaining everything, Xiao Cui returned to Liu Feifei's side.

"Madam, everything is arranged. Master and son-in-law will be here soon."

When Liu Feifei heard Xiao Cui mention Meng Zhan, she forced a smile but didn't say anything.

After administering acupuncture to Liu Feifei, the doctor checked her fetal position and found that the baby had not turned around. In addition, Liu Feifei also started to bleed.

The doctor secretly exchanged a glance with the midwife, but little did they know that Liu Feifei had seen it.

"Speak! Tell me what's going on! Don't hide anything from me!" Liu Feifei shouted, enduring the intense pain in her body.

The midwife kept her head down, not daring to utter a sound. Seeing that the midwife was silent, the doctor finally spoke up and said, "Madam, the baby is not turning around. I'm afraid it will be a difficult labor!"
