My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 978 - 951: Move Aside, She’s Getting Ahead!

Chapter 978: Chapter 951: Move Aside, She’s Getting Ahead!

Qin Liuxi turned to the man sobbing beside her. He looked familiar, and as he raised his head to wipe his nose, she recognized him.

Isn’t he the husband of the young lady she diagnosed at the City God Temple, named Lai San, the rascal?

"What’s wrong with your wife?"

The cold voice, like snow and ice, drilled into Lai San’s eardrums. He looked up at Qin Liuxi, momentarily stunned but quickly recognized her: "Master?"

Three years have passed, and Qin Liuxi had turned twenty; she had completely grown up. Her appearance wasn’t the kind that was exquisitely stunning, more cold and indifferent, with sharp eyes, but her entire aura was extremely compelling.

Lai San turned and immediately knelt in front of Qin Liuxi: "Master, it’s really you, you are miraculous, please save my wife!"

Qin Liuxi smelled the faint scent of blood on him, then looked at his face, and said: "What’s wrong with her? Let’s walk and talk."

Lai San hurriedly got up, leading the way while crying and talking about his wife’s situation.

It turns out Lai San’s wife just gave birth to a big healthy boy. Although she suffered during childbirth, both mother and child were safe. But before the joy passed, on the day of the child’s third-day bath, Mrs. Deng suddenly had a massive hemorrhage. They called a doctor who said it was postpartum bleeding, but the medicine didn’t stop it. Now she is at death’s door, and they say she won’t make it through the night.

"I don’t understand. The birth went safely, so how could there be hemorrhaging? If it’s retribution for my past sins, let it be on me. Why torment my wife?" Lai San slapped himself hard.

Qin Liuxi said: "You seem to care a lot about this wife."

"She’s my wife. My father did good deeds to have the fortune to find such a warm and considerate woman for me. Otherwise, I’d still be wandering somewhere, and how could I have a wife, child, and warm home?" Lai San said while sobbing: "But we’ve only had a few days of happiness, and suddenly everything collapsed. If my wife dies, my family will be broken."

He wiped away tears again and said: "They all say my wife can’t be saved. I had no choice but to seek the City God. When my wife’s belly had worms, wasn’t it resolved at the City God Temple? I didn’t expect to meet you again, Master."

"You came to the right place!" Qin Liuxi said, "The City God informed me that your wife will recover. Once she is healed, bring your family to offer incense and thank him, and then establish a longevity tablet for the City God, offering day and night."

The City God Master needs the Power of Faith, so she should make an effort to help him gather it.

Lai San felt immense joy in his heart, quickening his pace as he led Qin Liuxi to a small, low house near the river, where many neighboring women were standing.

"Lai San, where did you go? Your wife is on the brink, yet you’re not by her side?" An aunt cursed him, pointing at his nose.

"I went to seek the City God’s help. My wife can be saved," Lai San said with a smile.

Qin Liuxi glanced at the small yard; it wasn’t affluent, but things were neatly arranged, with old red paper-cuts on the windows, likely crafted by the mistress, who had skilled hands.

Lai San looked weather-beaten, much older than three years ago, with calloused hands. It seemed these three years had changed him a lot, at least making him cherish his wife more.

People in the yard saw Qin Liuxi; who was this girl?

Indeed, the current Qin Liuxi had grown, and although her face still carried an androgynous look, she now had a somewhat protruding chest, so anyone with sharp eyes could see she was a girl.

"Quick, where’s Lai San, his wife is in bad shape." Someone ran out of the house in frantic urgency.

Lai San’s smiling face stiffened, turning pale, as he looked at Qin Liuxi: "Master..."

Qin Liuxi had already walked briskly into the house, with Lai San quickly following.

Upon entering, the strong smell of blood hit, mixed with the heart-wrenching cries of an infant and the low soothing of a woman.

Lai San dashed to the bedside, seeing his wife’s face as pale as golden paper, eyes shut tight. His legs went soft, kneeling by the bed as he said: "Juan’er, wake up, the Master is here, she’ll save you."

Qin Liuxi first went to the woman holding the child, reaching out to touch the top of the child’s head, saying to the anxious woman: "Take him outside."

Surprised, the woman saw that the usually wailing baby stopped crying, now hiccuping, as Qin Liuxi moved to the bedside, she hurriedly took the child outside.

"Move aside." Qin Liuxi nudged Lai San, seeing Mrs. Deng with a headband, unconscious. She lifted the quilt, nearly gagging from the overwhelming scent of blood.

She took one glance, then pulled out a Golden Needle from her waist pouch and asked the excess people in the room to leave. She used the Golden Needle to pierce acupoints on Mrs. Deng, stopping the bleeding first; if uncontrolled, she would die from blood loss.

The Golden Needle pierced Mingmen, Guanyuan, Xuehai, and other acupoints with no hesitation or hand tremor.

Especially on Mingmen and Xuehai acupoints, she spent more time pinching and lifting the needle.

Leaving the needle, Qin Liuxi took Mrs. Deng’s hand to check the pulse. The Six Meridians were hollow and weak; naturally, her spleen and stomach were too weak to control blood. Having caught a cold and weakened post-childbirth, she manifested severe deficiency mixed with cold signs, thus the hemorraghing. It was indeed dangerous.

"Did she not take the prescription I gave to regulate her health back then?" Qin Liuxi asked Lai San.

Lai San said: "She only took two doses."

Qin Liuxi replied indifferently: "Her health was already quite weak, with spleen and stomach qi deficiency requiring careful nourishment. These years, she didn’t properly recover and even worked hard?"

Lai San lowered his head, guilty: "Times were tough."

Qin Liuxi dismissed the explanation: "Weak body means poor foundation, she safely bore a child, truly lucky, or else the postpartum hemorrhaging would’ve resulted in both mother and child’s death. Your wife has risked her life to give you a child."

Lai San’s body went limp, his face devoid of color.

Qin Liuxi said: "Go fetch paper and pen."

Lai San finally moved, but his bones were soft, and only by biting his tongue hard did he manage to fetch paper and pen, left by his Scholar father.

Qin Liuxi dipped ink, slightly pondered, before starting to write.

This family can’t afford ginseng; instead, they’ll use Qi-replenishing Soup with donkey-hide gelatin, roasted ginger to greatly replenish the spleen yuan and raise yang qi. Take two doses, along with the needling, this hemorrhage will be fully stopped, then slowly undergo postpartum recovery.

"This prescription isn’t particularly expensive; get the herbs and take two doses. But I must remind you, your wife’s condition, needing medication for recovery, leaves no spare energy to nurse the child," Qin Liuxi handed him the prescription.

Lai San sighed in relief, glancing at it, seeing the word donkey-hide gelatin, brows twitching, gritting his teeth: "Most important is my wife’s recovery, I’ll sell everything to get them."

Qin Liuxi saw his expression and her face sank: "If you plan to return to being a rascal, committing crimes, then return the prescription and bury your wife, I won’t shoulder the karma."

Just now his face bore ominous signs of imprisonment, why else if not for committing wrongs?
