Chapter 96 If she can't be cured, then there's no need to cure her
Director Zhang couldn't help but look at Liu Rong, but Liu Rong didn't care about what others were saying and directly ordered the housekeeper: "Put the things in front of the bed, set up a stove, warm up half of the strong wine, cover it with a ceramic lid, let the steam fall on top, and when water droplets form, use a small cup to collect them, we'll need this later."
Liu Rong said as she poured the remaining strong liquor into a clean bowl, took out the cotton sent by the general manager and soaked it in the bowl, then took it out to gently wipe around the patient's wound.
Her movements were smooth and her expression was serious, causing Director Zhang, who wanted to stop her, to be momentarily stunned and forget that he wanted to stop her.
The old men also became quiet because of this.
The doctor who was first called a quack by Liu Rong furrowed his brow: "Lord Zhang, no matter what, for the sake of your young master's life, you must stop this girl!"
Someone took the lead, and others who were already displeased with women giving orders in medical techniques, as well as doctors who couldn't even cure their own illnesses, followed suit and spoke up again.
"Director Zhang, when have you ever heard of a woman doctor? Even if you're desperate for treatment, you can't let a woman treat the young master like this! This isn't healing, it's murder!"
"It's just that, in this world, all doctors are men, women only know how to manage the household, how can they possibly have medical skills? At this age, it is absolutely impossible to have excellent medical skills! I'm afraid it's just like what that girl said, she's simply a female swindler pretending to be a divine doctor!"
"Don't say anything more! Magistrate Zhang obviously looks down on us and is willing to believe a female swindler, but doesn't want to believe us!"
"Let's go and let him believe in a naive little girl. Let him see for himself whether he can even get to see his own child one last time!"
Some were so impatient that they slammed the door and left directly.
Qin Xiang saw the atmosphere in the house change like this, and it was timely to look at Zhang Xue Shi: "Zhang Daren, I didn't want to say more, but it's about the safety of your young master! Isn't it enough that Miss Liu San's deception was exposed earlier? Do you still want to pay with your young master's life before you believe me?"
Zhang Xueshi held his breath for a moment before finally turning his head to look at Liu Rong: "Liu Rong..."
Just as Zhang Xueshi was about to speak up and stop Liu Rong from continuing to clean the patient's wound, he suddenly heard the excited voice of the doctor who had just left outside: "You... You are Shi Yu Yi!"
"Dr. Shi is here! No need to fight, Dr. Shi is here! Dr. Shi is the best doctor in Ta Hospital, especially skilled in treating external injuries. With Dr. Shi here, this female scammer will definitely be exposed on the spot!"
Hearing the noise outside, the doctors who stayed in the house with aching hearts couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. Some of them even went out to meet him: "Is that the youngest hospital doctor?"
"This is the medical world's Mount Tai and North Dipper. Along with Liu, who has always been in the military treating wounds for officials and soldiers, they are known as the top hands in the medical field when it comes to treating external injuries. Shi Yu physician himself claims that he is second only to them in terms of treating external injuries, so there is absolutely no one in the entire Daxia Dynasty who dares to claim first place!"
"Unexpectedly, Lord Zhang was able to invite Dr. Shi Yu, this time the young master of the noble house might be saved!"
"Yes! Let's hurry out and take a look, see if Dr. Shi Yu has really arrived!"
Even Director Zhang couldn't help but follow them out, considering that even as a high-ranking official, he didn't have the power to casually summon an imperial physician to treat his own son's illness.
Who would have thought that his son's luck was so good? In such a critical moment, it turned out to be the most suitable doctor who came!
Liu Rong, however, was completely unmoved and continued to treat the wound calmly and quietly, without even raising an eyebrow.
Qin Xue didn't follow the crowd out, but instead walked step by step towards Liu Rong with a smile: "I didn't expect that you would still be so calm at this point!"
"Aren't you afraid of killing the patient with your treatment?" Seeing that Liu Rong completely ignored her, Qin Xue couldn't help but speak again: "Before Shi Yu doctor didn't come, it was okay to say, now Shi Yu doctor has arrived, what if there's a way to cure this disease. And you kill the patient with your treatment, you will be sent to the government office! You should know that the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty clearly state that doctors who kill patients who can be saved are equivalent to murder and must pay with their lives!"
"However, if you ask me, I might be able to help. After all, my father is the Grand Chancellor, perhaps he can help mitigate your punishment." Qin Xue spoke in a low voice while carefully observing Liu Rong, but saw that her expression didn't change at all, as if she hadn't heard her speak, and couldn't help but furrow her brow.
"Miss Qin, why are you helping Liu Rong? You should be advising her to get rid of him instead. The young lady from the Wende Hou Mansion is plotting against the person she was engaged to because of the broken engagement. Who will dare to marry a daughter from the Wende Hou Mansion in the future?" Madam Chen said coldly.
"I just can't bear to see a young woman with her whole life ahead of her end up spending the rest of her days in prison."
Liu Rong, however, completely ignored the two people beside her. Whenever she focused on things related to the wound, she automatically screened out the movements of the people around her. Otherwise, with a slight carelessness, a large movement could easily damage the patient's blood vessels.
If it harms patients as a result, then that's truly unacceptable.
However, the more she treated the wound, the more anxious her mood became. It was clear that a portion of the small intestine had ruptured and become necrotic due to the impact of the foreign object. If intestinal resection and anastomosis surgery were not performed in time, it could lead to severe infection, affecting the parts that had not yet become necrotic.
If Qin Xi knew what he had been saying for half a day, Liu Rong hadn't listened to a single sentence and didn't know what she would think.
Liu Rong's face was expressionless, but Qin Xiang and Madam Chen thought that Liu Rong had heard that Shi Yu, the imperial physician, had arrived and was about to be exposed for not knowing any medical skills.
Qin Xue's hand pointed slightly, her fingertips lightly touching the tip of her chin, as she gazed at Liu Rong with a cold smile.
To know that this imperial physician was specially invited by her. Otherwise, a small scholar like him would not have been able to invite an imperial physician so promptly!
"Shi Yu Yi, you must make sure that deceitful woman has nowhere to hide! A woman actually dares to deceive in medical matters! Such a thing absolutely cannot be pardoned lightly!"
"If we let this one go, I'm afraid even cats and dogs will dare to make a racket in the medical field!"
"You can rest assured that Shi Mouren guarantees with his reputation, and will not let a little girl play jokes with medical skills! He must send her to the officials together with you, and will not tolerate it!"
As they spoke, a group of people surrounded Shi Yu and walked into the house with him.
Qin Xiang gazed at the group of people storming into the house with an increasingly deep smile, while Chen Er's mistress was so excited that she seemed to have already seen Liu Rong's misfortune.
"Where is the girl you're talking about? Are they the two standing in the house?" Shi Yu Yi entered the house, and before he could see clearly who was standing inside, he asked a group of people.
"No, that girl is dressed as a boy, and it's the one sitting next to the patient. He's the reckless youngster who will aggravate the patient's wound!"
The doctor who was first called a quack by Liu Rong hastily pointed to the bed and opened his mouth, a smug smile spreading across his face. Look at you, a little girl, dare you still call me a quack!
Shi Yu raised his head to look at the bedside, and Liu Rong happened to be anxious about not coming with Liu Lao and Dong Er because of the noise outside. The two met each other's eyes!
"You... " Shi Yu hesitated: "You are the third young lady of the Wen Ding Marquis's manor?"
Liu Rong looked at him with a puzzled expression, until now, it seemed that no one had publicly mentioned her identity.
"You've even forgotten me? I'm Shi Yu Yi, the doctor who was invited by your family to help with the difficult birth of your second madam. I didn't expect to be at a loss and determine that it was impossible for her to survive, but then you stepped forward and showed me an unforgettable scene, watching as you successfully performed a cesarean section, not only saving your family's second madam but also the child!" Dr. Shi Yu Yi exclaimed, walking forward with a mix of surprise and excitement.
And a group of old doctors who were about to punish Liu Rong were stunned for a moment.
Qin Xiang and Miss Chen's triumphant smiles froze on their faces instantly.
"Shi Yu Yi, this...this is that deceitful girl!" Finally, the doctor who was called a quack couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
"Is this a scam? I'm not blind, this is the external injury doctor that even Liu Lao recommends. If she can't cure an injury like this, then there's no need to treat it at all!"
ps:
This chapter was very difficult to write, and it took three hours to barely finish. Thank you to the boring tree and the generous rewards from Mianmian. Originally, I wanted to add another chapter as requested, but considering today's situation, I might only be able to do one more tonight. It's just that I overslept this morning and couldn't get up to update. Sorry about that. For now, I owe two chapters. If possible tonight, I'll repay the debt in the middle of the night; if not, I can only push it back for now.
