Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 639 - 595 Everything Goes Smoothly (2)

But Pei Shenyan didn’t even look, his hand quickly tearing it apart.

The complete piece of paper was ripped into snowy fragments, scattering before the foot of the bed, and Li Yuwen watched him in shock.

"No need for a written agreement, I trust you." Pei Shenyan raised his head and smiled slightly at Li Yuwen.

As long as she has the intention, that’s enough. What’s the point of a written agreement?

To bind her for life with a contract, Pei Shenyan would never do such a disgraceful thing.

Li Yuwen couldn’t understand his actions, anxiously asking, "Then are you going to treat him or not?"

"Treat." Even if he couldn’t be cured, even if he died today, it would be worth it.

Because he saw Li Yuwen’s anxiety and understood her feelings.

Li Yuwen let out a sigh of relief, pushing Li Yuzhu to the bedside, "Third sister, your brother-in-law agreed, quickly treat him."

Li Yuzhu said, "Alright, let’s begin."

She asked Aunt Zhou for some hot water and cloth towels for cleaning and invited everyone out.

Li Yuwen wanted to sit by the bed to watch, but Li Yuzhu refused.

She didn’t want Li Yuwen to see the procedure of cutting into the chest.

In case Li Yuwen became nervous and lost control.

Li Yuwen insisted, but Pei Shenyan said, "If you’re here, third sister will be nervous."

Li Xingsheng also persuaded her, "Don’t you trust third sister?" He pulled and tugged at Li Yuwen, dragging her out of the room.

Li Yuzhu closed the door, sat down beside the bed, and briefly explained Pei Shenyan’s condition to him, and told him how she would treat it.

"I will make a small incision near your heart and patch up a defect inside, afterwards you won’t have any more episodes. It will take about an hour and a half to two hours, and I’ll inject anesthetics beforehand, so you won’t feel any pain." Pei Shenyan’s condition wasn’t serious, it was a common atrial septal defect.

If untreated, taking care not to catch colds, he could live to forty or fifty; but this kind of life would be very painful.

Unable to ride horses, nor run, jump, or walk long distances, more seriously, even marital life would need to be restrained.

Catching a cold could worsen lung infections, affecting the heart and potentially leading to death.

He must keep his mood calm and avoid extreme excitement or anger, which could also be fatal.

If not, his lifespan would be even shorter.

Such stringent self-care would make him live like a specially protected animal.

With no joy in life.

This was certainly why Old Mrs. Pei sent him to live in this distant mountain village, far from the troubles of the Capital.

But Old Mrs. Pei ignored that, aside from his heart ailment, Pei Shenyan’s mind was healthy, he was capable of having emotions and desires, he would have someone he liked.

The presence of someone he liked disrupted his life rhythm.

"Third sister, you can start." Pei Shenyan clenched his fist, "I’m not afraid."

Li Yuzhu nodded, "Relax first, don’t be nervous."

Pei Shenyan took a deep breath, "Alright, I’m not nervous."

Li Yuzhu washed her hands, activated the sterile operating space, and took out the necessary surgical instruments and medication from the backpack space.

Pei Shenyan saw her take out a transparent tube with a needle point.

The tube contained something resembling water.

Li Yuzhu walked to the bedside, "Brother-in-law, close your eyes, I’ll inject the anesthetic, soon you won’t feel any pain."

Pei Shenyan closed his eyes, taking a breath, trying not to be nervous.

Once the anesthetic took effect, Li Yuzhu began the surgery.

Adult blood vessels are thicker, and chest surgery takes longer; Li Yuzhu concentrated fully on the surgery using the space equipment.

Though the space was supportive, she was the only one busily occupied, she dared not be distracted at all.

Fortunately, the usually emotionally uncontrollable Li Yuwen wasn’t outside the door urging her, allowing her to focus on her operation.

Two hours later, the incision was sewn up, and the surgery was completed.

Li Yuzhu tidied Pei Shenyan’s clothes, checked the post-operative condition.

The surgery was very successful, everything normal.

She checked the drip rate of the medicine in the hanging bottle, breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her sore waist, and walked over to open the door.

Li Yuwen rushed in first, she’d probably been crying, her eyes red and swollen, "How’s your brother-in-law? No sound at all, I didn’t dare disturb you, afraid of distracting you."

It seemed Li Yuwen had changed greatly, knowing how to control her temper now.

Li Yuzhu gave a slight smile, making a relaxed shrug gesture, "Very smoothly, but the anesthetic hasn’t dissipated yet, he’s still asleep, even if you go in you can’t talk to him."

"I just want to see him, without talking." Li Yuwen stepped towards the bedroom, walking quickly, tripped on the threshold, almost falling.

"Big sister, slow down." Li Yuzhu smiled as she reached out to support her.

The two sisters approached the bed together.

Li Xingsheng and Pei Ji also entered to take a look.

On the hook of the canopy, there hung a transparent bag containing something liquid-like. A very fine transparent tube connected to the transparent bag, with a silver needle at the other end, stuck into the muscle on the back of Pei Shenyan’s hand.

This strange bottle, Li Yuzhu called a medicine bottle.

Each time after treating a serious illness, she would use this method to infuse medicine into the patient.

When someone in the Li Family fell ill, Li Yuzhu had also treated them this way.

Li Yuwen and Li Xingsheng were used to seeing this.

Only Pei Ji found it novel and watched for a while, but soon he looked at Pei Shenyan on the bed.

Pei Shenyan was in a sleep-like state, and Li Yuwen feared he wouldn’t wake up, trembling as she reached the edge of the bed and extended her hand.

A warm breath brushed against her fingers.

Li Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief and leaned aside to sit on the footstool.

How wonderful, he wasn’t dead.

He’s alive!

Pei Ji was startled by her behavior, "Young mistress, is young master..."

"He’s alive, just asleep. Don’t make noise and let him sleep." Li Yuwen laughed before rising from the footstool and patting Li Yuzhu’s shoulder, "Hard work, third sister, I’ll ask Aunt Zhou to make you something tasty."

Li Yuzhu rubbed her stomach; not a drop had passed her lips during the two-hour surgery, and she was both thirsty and hungry, "I want braised carp."

"Alright." Li Yuwen’s expression was relaxed as she walked out.

Aunt Zhou, Pei Fusheng, and the little maid Cui Xi were all delighted to hear that Pei Shenyan’s illness was cured.

The three went to the kitchen to work together.

As Aunt Zhou finished washing the vegetables, Pei Shenyan awoke from his rest in the bedroom.

Li Yuwen quickly walked to the bedside, holding his hand, "Shen Yan, how do you feel?"

Pei Shenyan knew Li Yuzhu had cut into his chest, but did not know what she was doing. Li Yuzhu blocked his eyes with cloth, preventing him from seeing, and he eventually fell asleep.

However, upon waking, he did not feel breathless like before; it was truly amazing.

"Much better than before." Pei Shenyan smiled slightly, seeing Li Yuzhu standing beside the bed, he added, "Thanks, third sister." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He was very weak, his voice barely audible.

"You’re welcome." Li Yuzhu replied with a smile.

Li Yuwen waved her hand, "Rest and speak less. I’ll stay here with you."

Pei Shenyan indeed ceased talking, smiling and closed his eyes.

Li Xingsheng chuckled, "Brother-in-law, congratulations. Third sister said the treatment went smoothly."

Pei Shenyan also gave him a slight smile.

Aunt Zhou prepared lunch after lunch hours and invited everyone to eat.

Pei Shenyan couldn’t eat, glancing outside the bedroom, gesturing for Li Yuwen to eat.

Li Yuwen was worried about him, "I’m not hungry."

She surely was, Aunt Zhou said, "The young mistress hasn’t eaten since early morning after young master fell into a coma, how could she not be hungry? Young mistress, go eat, I’ll watch over him."

Pei Shenyan, seeing her reluctant to leave, felt comforted but also worried she was starving. He hoarsely said, "Is Yuwen waiting for me to feed you?"

Li Yuwen was shocked and quickly stood up, "Ancestor, stay put. I’m going, alright?"

Pei Shenyan was stubborn, Li Yuwen feared he might try to get out of bed.

Li Yuzhu had lifted his clothes for her earlier, showing the cut on Pei Shenyan’s chest. Even dry blood and stitched seams were visible, a truly chilling sight.

Li Yuwen waved at him and walked out.

Aunt Zhou couldn’t help but laugh.

After having lunch at Pei Shenyan’s place, Li Xingsheng rode back to the village.

The family awaited his report on Pei Shenyan’s condition.

On horseback, he traveled quickly, reaching the Li Family in just two quarters of an hour.

He recounted Pei Shenyan’s condition to Princess Consort Luling.

Princess Consort Luling pressed her chest and smiled, "Good, good, now I don’t have to worry about Pei Wulang."

Li Xingsheng added, "Third sister says Brother-in-law Pei’s illness requires a long period of recovery and care; she needs to stay there to take care until he can eat and walk, then she can return."

Princess Consort Luling said, "That’s necessary. Go inform Yuanxiu to pack some of Yu Zhu’s clothes, and you’ll deliver them."
