Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gongsun Zhongjing, whose eyes were already bloodshot, calmed down. He used the knife in his hand to push away the flesh that blocked his vision and heaved a long sigh. “I found it.”
Finding it was one thing, but removing it was another difficulty. After all, it was a human organ. The unconscious old lady felt the pain and actually started to struggle. With this struggle, Gongsun Zhongjing’s knife deviated a little, and a large amount of blood immediately surged out.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao’s sharp eyes noticed it and she went forward to press the Old Madam down immediately. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Gongsun Zhongjing did not give up. He personally sucked the blood dry and continued. However, the blood kept gushing out and seriously interfered with his stitching. He could only wipe and stitch continuously.
Seeing this, Xiaoxiao called out to the space without hesitation: [Baby, use Range Control to stop the Old Madam’s wound from bleeding within seven seconds!]
Fortunately, she felt that the cooldown time of this function was too long. She had to use it at the most critical moment. She had held back from using it previously. Seven seconds might be a few breaths or a few words to ordinary people, but to Gongsun Zhongjing, this was time that could save her life.
He did not have the time to think about why the bleeding that gave him the most headache suddenly stopped. He quickly finished what he was about to do…
One door away, every second in the house was filled with danger. Outside, no one dared to make a sound.
From Second Master and Second Madam to Li Muyan and Shen Tianci, who had just rushed over from the academy, no one dared to speak.
After a long time, Second Madam, who still couldn’t hold it in, said faintly, “Nanny didn’t say anything. There should be no problem, right?”
Second Master glared. “What do you mean by ‘should’? My mother must be fine! Didn’t they say that this person is a genius doctor? If he can’t treat her, he’s fishing for fame…”
He was interrupted by Li Muyan. “Father, Mother, life and death are up to fate. Doctor Gongsun is a doctor, not a god. Besides, it’s not like you don’t know Grandmother’s condition. The other doctors have all asked us to prepare for her funeral. Only Doctor Gongsun dares to try for her. As a genius doctor, he’s not afraid of damaging his reputation and is willing to work hard to save her. Yet, you want to blame others for Grandmother’s problem. Isn’t that disappointing?”
Second Master was just throwing a tantrum, so he quieted down after hearing Li Muyan’s words.
Time passed bit by bit and the sky gradually darkened. Just as Li Muyan was hesitating if he should light the lights in the room, the door opened. The extremely tired Gongsun Zhongjing and the yawning Xiaoxiao walked out and called out, “Get the two of them to change into clean clothes and tidy up. Don’t touch the patient.”
As for the nanny, hmph, she did not care. She would lie in the corner and wait for the servants to discover her.
Li Muyan took a step forward. No matter how awkward he was, he forced himself to cup his hands and bow to Gongsun Zhongjing. “Thank you.”
Gongsun Zhongjing glanced at him. “If I’m willing to bet, I have to admit defeat. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be fishing for fame?”
Li Muyan’s ears turned red and he bent down even more. “It’s my fault. I said the wrong thing. Doctor Gongsun is benevolent and kind to the world. I was petty and spouted nonsense. No matter what happens to my grandmother, the Li Family will remember Doctor Gongsun’s kindness.”
Gongsun Zhongjing slightly dodged this bow. “Hmph, who cares?”
Xiaoxiao, who was at the side, wished she could hold her breath and let the two of them chat for a while more. However, Gongsun Zhongjing had already gotten to the point. “The necrotic part has been removed, but we’ll see your grandmother’s condition after tonight. I’ll rest next door. If she’s feverish, call me immediately.”
Second Madam was in a hurry to show off. She bypassed the two of them and planned to run into the house. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao closed the door quickly. Second Madam glared and was about to flare up when she heard Gongsun Zhongjing say seriously, “If you don’t want your grandmother’s life, let them enter as they please.”
Li Muyan went forward to pull her back, but Second Madam was unconvinced. “Mother is not feeling well. I have to attend to her illness.”
Gongsun Zhongjing said bluntly, “You’re covered in fragrance powder and have dangles on your waist. Do you know that you will cause her wound to split open when she sneezes?”
Second Madam was frightened. Then, she remembered and asked, “Wound?
Did you really open her abdomen?”
Gongsun Zhongjing couldn’t be bothered with her. He gave Li Muyan a look and walked towards the resting room. As he walked, he didn’t forget to remind him, “Miss Ning is also exhausted.”
Li Muyan felt ashamed and hurriedly got someone to bring Xiaoxiao to wash up and rest.
Xiaoxiao looked at her bloodstained body and was afraid of scaring her parents and brothers, so she accepted this kindness and went to change clothes with the maidservant.
Behind her, Second Madam narrowed her eyes and tugged at her son. “She’s Ning Xiaoxiao?”
Li Muyan was not in the mood to chat with her now. He chased after Gongsun Zhongjing.
Mrs. Shen was worried about Xiaoxiao and was prepared to stay and wait for her. She wanted to wait, so Shen Tianci was naturally not in a hurry to leave. Second Madam looked at the mother and son, whispered a few words to her personal maidservant, and personally brought them to the room to rest.
After all, Mrs. Shen was a daughter of the Li Family. The Li Family’s courtyard was big enough, so there was still her courtyard. There was a swing tied to a thick sycamore tree in the courtyard. When the wind blew, it made a babbling sound. Mrs. Shen wanted to go up and sit down, but seeing Second Madam following closely behind, she could only give up and enter the house.
She asked the servants to bring Xiaoxiao here later so that it would be convenient for her to leave with them, so she leaned against the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
This was already her intention to send Second Madam off, but Second Madam seemed to not understand and insisted on asking about their well-being until… a graceful figure walked in from outside the door.
Shen Tianci frowned in disgust. Why was He Ruhuan here?
Second Madam pulled her over to greet her. “I heard that your cousin and the others are here, so I specially came to pay my respects, right? Aiyo, you’re really polite.”
Mrs. Shen did not want to continue the conversation, so she yawned and pretended not to hear her. Unexpectedly, Second Madam took advantage of the situation and said, “Looks like Sister is tired. Ruhuan, why don’t you take your Cousin Tianci out for a walk? He hasn’t been back for a long time, and he doesn’t know what changes have happened in the residence.”
Mrs. Shen could tell what Second Madam meant at a glance. Seeing that she did not leave, she was furious and did not stand on ceremony. “Old Madam’s life and death are unknown. Sister-in-law asked Tianci to go to the garden. Those who don’t know might think that her grandson is heartless and ungrateful.”
Second Madam was a little anxious. She was also afraid that she would have no one to back her up after Old Madam left. Seeing that Mrs. Shen was angry, she hurriedly stood up and bowed. “I was insensible as your sister-in-law. I was just panicking about Mother-in-law.”
“To be honest with Sister, Mother-in-law is the backbone of our Li Family. I’m not confident about her illness. Fortunately, Sister disregarded the past at this critical moment…”
Mrs. Shen was really impatient. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had to wait for Xiaoxiao, she would leave immediately. Her second sister-in-law was shameless. She pretended to be obedient and flattered Old Madam, instigated trouble in front of Second Brother, and played both sides of the coin with her. She smiled on the surface, but she bad mouthed her behind her back.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao was quick and came over after changing her clothes.
At this moment, a maidservant happened to come over with a few bowls of soup. When she passed by her, she accidentally bumped into her. Xiaoxiao helped her up and heard the space ring.
[Master, special ingredient discovered. Beep—]
Xiaoxiao was curious: [Why does the name of the ingredient have a silencer?]
The space said seriously: [Only the adults can know the effect. It can’t be heard by minors.]
Xiaoxiao was speechless..
