First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space - Chapter 189

189 The Four Little ones are Ready to Battle

Lu Jiao’s face turned cold. What kind of mother was this? She didn’t care about her daughter and grandchild’s lives. All she cared about was reputation.

Before Lu Jiao could speak, the pregnant lady screamed, “mother, I want my child to live. I want him to live.”

The mother persisted, “If a man comes in, what will happen to your reputation? If Hu Shan found out, he would leave you.”

Lu Jiao wanted to curse. Seeing how gray the pregnant woman’s face was, she knew there was no more time. She leaped over and shoved the midwife and the mother out, “Get the **** out of here.”

!!
Lu Jiao was strong and the two women’s struggles were futile against her strength. They got thrown out real quick.

Before the door, Xie Yunjin handed Lu Jiao the contract, “Ask her to leave a thumbprint. If anything were to happen, Hu Shan wouldn’t just let it be.”

Lu Jiao knew Xie Yunjin meant well and took the contract. She then glanced at Qi Lei, “Dr. Qi, whether or not the mother can make it will depend on you.”

Qi Lei knew right away that surgery was needed. There was excitement and fear on his face. Were they going to cut open the stomach? Was his master sure of this treatment plan?

Qi Lei didn’t have time to think too much and walked in. Behind him, the mother of the pregnant woman’s face dropped and she tried to push inside.

Outside the room, Xie Yunjin knew that surgery was likely needed and she needed Dr. Qi to perform it. Xie Yunjin sighed in relief. As long as Lu Jiao didn’t get entangled in all this.

The mother of the pregnant wife tried to bust in and Xie Yunjin ordered Zhao Lingfeng, “Stop them.”

Zhao Lingfeng gestured for his men to block them. The pregnant lady’s mother yelled, “Yuyao, you cannot have a man in there! If your reputation is ruined, Hu Shan will leave you!”

Inside the room, Li Yuyao’s face got dustier and dustier. She had lost all strength at this point. As if she had lost the will to live, she asked Lu Jiao, “Don’t mind me. Please save my child.”

Lu Jiao efficiently put some pants on her first. She could tell that Li Yuyao had lost her will to live and only wanted to save her child.

Lu Jiao said to Li Yuyao, “There’s something wrong with your contractions and you are not dilating. I have to open up your stomach and deliver the baby that way. You and your child will both be fine and your reputation will be fine. If needed, I can tell your husband that.”

A C-section doesn’t expose the bottom private parts and only reveals the belly. If her man couldn’t even deal with that, then she was better off alone.

Before Li Yuyao could answer, Lu Jiao added, “However, I hope you don’t tell anyone but your husband about this.”

Though surgeries started happening in the military forces in the Zhou Dynasty, C-Section was not yet established. She didn’t want this news to circulate and shock too many people.

Li Yuyao gained some energy after she heard that. She struggled, “I, I promise you. But, if you cannot save both of us, save my child, please. Don’t mind me.”

“I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”

Given how out of it Li Yuyao was, Lu Jiao took out some ginseng from her sleeve. She put it there earlier when she was cleaning up her space. There wasn’t much left.

Li Yuyao happened to need it right now. Lu Jiao took out a piece and asked LI Yuyao to put it in her mouth.

“Don’t say anything anymore.”

Lu Jiao took out her surgical tools and was now ready for surgery. Beside her, Qi Lei whispered, “Master, the contract. You need her print.”

Lu Jiao saw Li Yuyao’s worsening condition and knew she had no time. Her eyes became focused, “We cannot drag this out any longer. Let’s start the surgery.”

Ignoring Qi Lei, Lu Jiao injected Li Yuyao with anesthesia. She decided to do local numbing for this surgery given that full body numbing may damage the baby’s brain.

Beside her, Qi Lei said, “Master, if anything happens, you can blame it on me. I’ll be okay.”

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but exclaim how kind Qi Lei was. He was willing to take the blame if necessary.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. Cooperate with me later.”

Lu Jiao then injected Li Yuyao’s stomach and waited for the drug to take effect.

Outside, Xie Yunjin and Zhao Lingfeng were checking each other out.

The way Xie Yunjin was looking at Baohe Tang’s owner was eerily dark. He noticed how nonchalant Zhao Lingfeng was when he saw Lu Jiao. Even if Lu Jiao was a doctor here, shouldn’t the owner keep his distance from the doctors? How come they acted like a family?

That thought made Xie Yunjin cold.

Zhao Lingfeng spoke first, “You are Lady Lu’s husband, scholar Xie?”

Zhao Lingfeng felt that Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao didn’t have the best relationship. Or else Lady Lu would’ve told him about the surgery and the businesses she had planned.

Zhao Lingfeng decided not to say anything about his partnership with Lady Lu just in case he says too much.

Xie Yunjin nodded gently and smiled, “That’s right. You must be the owner of Baohe Tang. My wife has mentioned you once or twice. I’ve been wanting to thank you. Thank you for having her as a doctor here.”

Zhao Lingfeng was a little flustered. Was this man trying to assert dominance right now? It sounded like he cared about Lu Jiao a lot. If that was the case, why didn’t Lady Lu tell him about the surgery?

Zhao Lingfeng then looked at the four children. He noticed that all four of them wore the same-looking clothes and they were similar in height. Out of the four, two of them looked very much like Lu Jiao.

Zhao Lingfeng knew right away they were Lu Jiao’s children and he grinned, “Are you Lady Lu’s sons?”

The four little ones could tell their dad didn’t like this guy so their faces were straight and serious.

“That’s right.”

Zhao Lingfeng couldn’t help but be jealous of Xie Yunjin. Most families have trouble giving birth to boys yet Xie Yunjin managed to have four exceptional ones at the same time. How amazing.

Zhao Lingfeng liked the four little ones a lot and asked Manager Li to get them some food.

The manager brought over the food and placed them on the table. Sadly, the children didn’t touch the food and only silently sat by their father. They sat with their backs straight as if they were preparing for a battle.
