Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 688 - 641: Peace (1)

The little baby that Li Yuzhu brought back has greatly improved after several days of treatment and observation.

She and the child’s family escorted the child back home.

The young mother’s blood pressure also stabilized, and both mother and child are safe. The family set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits, held a lively banquet, and even invited Li Yuzhu to join them for a meal.

Upon returning to the Li Mansion, the maidservant of Second Lady Lou came again.

"Li San Niang, our Second Lady invites you over." The maid’s expression was just as anxious as last time, "Please hurry, the young master of the Wei family is urgently waiting."

The Wei family happens to be Second Lady Lou’s family.

Li Yuzhu wiped her hands with a towel, "Oh? Wasn’t it that they didn’t want me to treat Miss Wei?"

"The person is burning up badly and has fainted," the maid said anxiously.

A bottle of medicine can only suppress temporary pain, it cannot eliminate the root of the illness. No wonder she fainted, and if it drags on further, her life might be at risk.

Since the Wei Family members have come to ask for help, Li Yuzhu immediately followed the maid to the Lou Mansion.

Upon reaching Second Lady Lou’s courtyard, as Li Yuzhu entered the main room, Second Lady Lou’s brother, Wei Family’s eldest son, quickly approached her, bowed with hands clasped, and apologized with a face full of guilt, "Li San Niang, I spoke to you harshly last time, and I ask for your forgiveness."

It wasn’t exactly offensive; it is natural for a patient’s family to hesitate and speak harshly without careful consideration.

Li Yuzhu smiled slightly, "I don’t mind."

Second Lady Lou’s brother bowed again to Li Yuzhu and said, "Li San Niang, your magnanimity is truly admirable. However, my wife has fainted, and her condition is worsening. Could you kindly make the effort to come and help?"

Second Lady Lou added from the side, "Li San Niang, my brother did not mean to offend you; the situation appeared fine at the time, and he was just worried about the mother and child..."

Li Yuzhu said, "Time is of the essence, shall we go and take a look now?"

"Ah, okay, okay." Second Lady Lou sighed in relief and immediately called for the maid to prepare a carriage.

Li Yuzhu followed the Lou siblings to the Wei Family residence once again.

This second visit, the demeanor of the Wei Family toward Li Yuzhu had noticeably changed, becoming more respectful.

The gatekeepers respectfully called out "Li San Niang."

The young and old servants within the residence all welcomed her with smiles.

Upon reaching the bedroom of Second Lady Lou’s sister-in-law, the maids and older servants excitedly stood to greet her.

Second Lady Lou’s mother walked over with an apologetic expression and said to Li Yuzhu, "Li San Niang, I’ll leave my daughter-in-law’s illness in your hands."

"Let me first examine the situation," Li Yuzhu said as she walked behind the screen without saying much more.

Sitting by the bed were a middle-aged woman and a young woman, both unfamiliar faces.

Upon seeing Li Yuzhu approach, they did not rise to greet her, their expressions were indifferent.

Second Lady Lou’s mother, looking at the middle-aged woman, spoke politely and ingratiatingly, "Mother-in-law, the doctor is here, please let her take a look."

The middle-aged woman’s eyes were red, but her gaze carried a hint of anger. "If anything happens to Xin Niang, I’ll go to Lord Prefect for an explanation!"

Second Lady Lou’s mother wore an awkward expression, "She will be cured, she will be cured."

Li Yuzhu walked to the bedside, sat down, first checked the pulse, and then used an instrument to conduct a space scan.

Second Lady Lou’s mother immediately asked, "Li San Niang, what is the situation?"

"Surgery must be done immediately; if further delayed, nothing short of an Immortal bringing an elixir could save her," Li Yuzhu said, looking at everyone with a serious expression, "The situation is quite grim."

If further delay continues, one can only rely on the Immortal’s elixirs; but in this world, where would one find such divine medicines?

The faces of Second Lady Lou’s family changed dramatically.

The middle-aged woman looked shocked, "Surgery? Are you trying to kill my daughter? Mrs. Wei, just what kind of doctor did you invite? So young, yet speaking such nonsense!"

Second Lady Lou gave an ingratiating smile, "Mrs. Wang, this is the younger sister-in-law of Lord Prefect’s youngest daughter-in-law; her medical skills even our Lou Lady greatly approves of, you can trust her."

Mentioning the Prefect’s family, this Mrs. Wang calmed down and her gaze towards Li Yuzhu changed.

"Then proceed quickly and ensure she’s healed!" Mrs. Wang said coldly.

Li Yuzhu didn’t want to waste more words with them. The day before, she had already explained the treatment plan to Second Lady Lou’s relatives.

If they obstruct further, it could really endanger both mother and child’s lives.

Li Yuzhu asked Second Lady Lou’s family about the patient’s food intake for the day.

They said the patient has been intermittently unconscious, has taken no water, and hasn’t eaten a single grain of rice; the medicine also couldn’t be ingested.

Before performing an appendectomy, fasting and abstaining from drinking are necessary. Since Second Lady Lou’s sister-in-law hadn’t eaten, the surgery could proceed immediately.

But Li Yuzhu worried that Second Lady Lou’s family was being vague, so she prepared to delay the surgery by an hour.

When the time came, she requested everyone else to leave.

But Mrs. Wang, uneasy, insisted on staying in the room to oversee.

Li Yuzhu said, "If you do not trust me, I won’t perform the surgery."

"My daughter is having surgery, how can I not watch?" Mrs. Wang refused to leave.

Li Yuzhu said, "Having you here will distract me. If you are truly worried, let this lady watch instead."

She pointed to the young woman beside Mrs. Wang, who had been whispering to her. From their conversation, Li Yuzhu learned that this was Mrs. Wang’s daughter-in-law.

With no blood relation, the daughter-in-law wouldn’t be as emotionally agitated watching her sister-in-law receive treatment.

She insisted otherwise, refusing to proceed without compliance.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to agree and instructed her daughter-in-law to observe. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Additionally, Second Lady Lou remained in the room as a caretaker.

Initially, Second Lady Lou’s brother also wanted to stay, but Li Yuzhu refused him.

Having too close relatives witnessing the surgery might cause emotional outbursts, and Li Yuzhu would be distracted.

Li Yuzhu requested hot water and cloth towels from Second Lady Lou’s family, called for the maid to lift the patient onto the couch in the room, and cleared out other unrelated personnel, leaving only their designated caretakers in the room.

She cleaned her hands, activated the space diagnostic instrument, and began the surgery.

Large fetal heart monitors, electrocardiography monitors were used, invisible to others.

But they could see the surgical knife she pulled from her cloth bag.

The surgical knife, compared to other doctors’ poison-cutting knives, was brighter and more refined.

Second Lady Lou and Young Madam Wang were so frightened they turned their heads, not daring to look.

Li Yuzhu lightly curled her lips, deliberately saying, "I’m about to start the surgery, you may watch."

Both said together, "We trust you, Li San Niang."

Li Yuzhu smiled gently, put away the scalpel and started the surgery. A minimally invasive surgery didn’t require such a large knife; she deliberately scared them.

Without them watching, she could proceed better with the surgery.

Second Lady Lou’s sister-in-law only suffered from simple acute appendicitis, not the severe type.

If it were an ordinary person, the surgery would take only three quarters of an hour, but since she’s a pregnant woman of five months, Li Yuzhu carefully avoided the uterus and fetus, carrying out the surgery with great caution, taking more than half an hour to complete it.

She put away the instruments and went to wash her hands.

By now, the sky had dimmed.

Her space surgical room had illumination and did not rely on external lighting.

"It’s done, and it’s dark outside," Li Yuzhu sighed in relief.

Second Lady Lou and Young Madam Wang turned back together, their faces flushed with tension.

They both looked towards the patient, only to see that on the right side of her belly, there were two small suture marks, one about the length of a fingernail, the other smaller, only half as long, and another near the navel, not visible if not looked at closely.

"Is that it? Didn’t you say you needed to cut out the damaged intestine?" Second Lady Lou exclaimed in awe.

Li Yuzhu laughed; she used minimally invasive surgery and didn’t need to open up the abdomen, "Yes, it’s done." She pointed to a small piece of bloody flesh on a paper by her feet, "Isn’t this it?"

Second Lady Lou wrinkled her brow, patted her chest, "I won’t look, I only care about Xin Niang."

Young Madam Wang also tended to the patient, "Why hasn’t she woken up yet?"

"I administered anesthesia, she will wake up shortly," Li Yuzhu said.

She walked over and called others into the room.

Everyone entered just in time to see Second Lady Lou’s sister-in-law waking up.

"Xin Niang!" Mrs. Wang rushed to the bed, "Does your abdomen still hurt?"

Second Lady Lou’s sister-in-law shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt anymore."

"That’s wonderful!" Mrs. Wang was moved to tears at the corners of her eyes.

"My dear, you’ve suffered," Second Lady Lou’s brother held his wife’s hand, comforting her.

Meanwhile, Second Lady Lou’s mother hurriedly touched her daughter-in-law’s belly. "Is the child okay?" she turned to Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu smiled softly, "Everything’s fine."

Not convinced, Second Lady Lou’s mother placed her ear against the belly; just then, something rolled inside.

She exclaimed in delight, "Truly nothing’s wrong, the baby is moving."
