Chapter 25
Turning Danger into Safety!
When their master encountered such a dangerous situation, the servants below naturally panicked. In their panic, they treated this pharmacy as a medical center and rushed in.
As soon as they entered, they pushed the shopkeeper to the south wall.
He had been doing business in this city for many years, so he could naturally tell the background of this group of people at a glance. She was the daughter of the Sun family, the richest family in North Sea City. Two years ago, she married into the Wang family in the south of the city and became the third young madam of the Wang family.
He couldn’t afford to offend either of these two families!
For a moment, he was as anxious as a cat on a tin hot roof.
“Shopkeeper, do you have a clean room for people to rest in?!” Seeing the pitiful shopkeeper being dragged by a group of girls and women who refused to let him go, Lin Suisui thought for a moment and walked over. She stood beside the shopkeeper and helped him out. “It’s not a good idea to let her stay here without treatment. I know some medical skills and will help examine her first. The rest of you, quickly go and invite a midwife and a doctor. It’s better than fussing here!”
Lin Suisui’s words calmed the flustered shopkeeper down. He turned to look at the young lady in front of him and was moved by the calmness in her eyes. He gritted his teeth, then turned to the girls who were still worried and didn’t intend to let go. He shouted, “What are you waiting for? Don’t you want to save the girl’s life? Are you still waiting here to go back and report her death?!”
The shopkeeper’s roar finally made the chaotic girls and women quickly start moving again.
They also knew very well that if anything really happened to the girl this time, they would probably be beaten to death!
Therefore, at this moment, they couldn’t care less about anything else. She only wanted to focus on protecting the girl and the child in her stomach.
The shopkeeper arranged for someone to send the semi-conscious wife to a lounge on the second floor. He immediately instructed the clerk to boil hot water in the courtyard downstairs. On the other side, Lin Suisui had already quickly written a prescription for labor. She raised her hand and handed it to the shopkeeper. “Go and get the medicine according to this prescription. Bring it up quickly after it’s brewed!”
“There’s also ginseng soup. Forget it, I’ll cut two thin pieces of ginseng for her to eat first. If the mother loses her strength, how will she give birth later?!”
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and turned around to instruct someone to boil the medicine.
On the other side, Lin Suisui continued to say bluntly to the shopkeeper, “Do you have silver needles for acupuncture? I don’t have any needles on me now. This woman is currently physically weak. I have to use needles to gather qi for her first. Otherwise, even if the midwife comes later, she probably won’t be able to last until the child is born!”
“Yes, there are!” The shopkeeper already treated Lin Suisui as a savior. He naturally agreed to everything she said. He quickly turned around and instructed someone to get the needles.
After obtaining the tools she needed, Lin Suisui quickly treated the woman on the bed.
Because the patient was pregnant, although the shopkeeper was worried, he had no choice but to stand outside the door and wait for news from the room.
Not long after Lin Suisui administered the needle, the woman on the bed, who was unconscious, finally woke up. She cried out in pain, but she was more worried about the child in her stomach. She subconsciously reached out, but before she could touch her abdomen, Lin Suisui raised her hand and grabbed her.
“Your child is fine for the time being! As long as you listen to my instructions, I can guarantee your safety. However, you must not panic, okay?!”
Lin Suisui knew very well that pregnant women from prestigious families were the most troublesome to deal with.
Most women, who were used to living a pampered life, would not be able to withstand such an unexpected situation. They would panic and scream in pain. In the end, precious life-saving time would be delayed.
However, the woman in front of her was much tougher than she had expected. She only panicked for a moment. After hearing Lin Suisui’s guarantee, her panic immediately turned into calmness.
She nodded and held Lin Suisui’s hand. “I’ll listen to you. I’ll do anything you say. As long as you can save my child, I’ll do anything!”
With the mother’s cooperation, the rest was much easier.
Lin Suisui fed the woman on the bed the medicine that the girl had sent over. Then, she reached out and touched her abdomen again to confirm the position of the fetus. After that, she heaved a sigh of relief and said to the woman on the bed, “Fortunately, the fetus is in the right position. Take a break first. It’s best if you can eat something to accumulate strength. You won’t look beautiful if you lose your strength later.”
The woman was obedient and nodded repeatedly. When the woman beside her rushed downstairs to boil brown sugar eggs, she endured the pain and ate a bowl before heaving a sigh of relief.
Lin Suisui carefully observed the woman’s condition until the woman gritted her teeth and cried out in pain. Lin Suisui carefully checked the opening before turning around and asking the women to prepare hot water. She washed her hands and began to help the woman deliver the baby.
With Lin Suisui’s previous treatment, the subsequent medicine, and the woman’s cooperation, the child’s birth was especially smooth. Before the girl and the midwife returned, the child was already on the ground.
“Congratulations, Madam. It’s a boy.”
Lin Suisui carried the baby, who had been washed and wrapped in a blanket, to the exhausted woman who was covered in cold sweat. “He’s a very healthy and cute child. The cry just now was also loud. You can rest assured.”
When the woman heard the congratulations of the maidservants and women around her, although she was smiling, her tears couldn’t help but fall. When the woman beside her saw this, she quickly went forward and advised with heartache, “Miss, you can’t cry during your postpartum confinement! You’ve suffered a lot now. Fortunately, you and the young master are fine. There’s still Master and Madam. Don’t worry, they’ll definitely be able to seek justice for you!”
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she heard the door behind her being slammed open. A lavishly dressed woman rushed in with a group of women. When she saw the woman on the bed, she pounced on her and cried, “My child!”
The woman was obviously the mother of the woman on the bed. There was a clear resemblance between them. She first pounced over to take a look at her daughter, who seemed to be fine even though she had suffered. Then, she turned around and bowed to Lin Suisui, who was standing by the bed. “Benefactor, thank you for saving my daughter. Please accept my bow!”
