I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 205

205 Blood Plasma?

Mo Ruyue checked the items for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before she stopped and stood up.

“Is young miss drinking any medicinal soup now? If not, I’ll give her a prescription to recuperate her body. Her body is too weak right now, and she can’t meet the standards for surgery yet.”

“Our Miss has been drinking all kinds of medicinal soups, but they never seem to get better. In the past, they could at least relieve some pain, but now they can’t even relieve the pain.”

After being berated by Mo Ruyue, Madam Du had become much more well-behaved and now she was also honestly answering her questions.

!!
“Alright, I’ll write a prescription now. This prescription is used to consolidate the corporeity, so it has some painkilling effect. However, you can’t use too many painkillers, or you’ll develop drug resistance in the future. It’s just that after a long time, the painkilling effect won’t be obvious. We can only increase the dosage, but if we do, Qing Xi’s body will be destroyed.”

As Mo Ruyue spoke, she quickly wrote on the paper.

If they wanted to help Qing Xi recuperate, they would have to delay the operation for at least ten days to half a month. However, the tumor in Qing Xi’s stomach was getting bigger. If it was delayed any longer, there was a possibility that it would rupture at any time. There was not much time left for her operation.

Unfortunately, Qing Xi’s body was very weak and could not be nourished. If she could not recover her lost vitality in one go, even if the operation was successful, she would have to be bedridden for a long time.

“Alright, take this prescription. Take one dose in the morning and one in the evening. Take it an hour after your meal, not earlier or later. You can only proceed to the next step of the treatment after seven days.”

Mo Ruyue handed the prescription to Madam Du and then said to Qing Xi, “Qing Xi, if you want to live on, please cooperate with me. The medicine is bitter, but it’s good for your body.”

“As long as your physical condition meets my requirements, and the things prepared by the Magistrate meet my requirements, I can let you continue to live.”

Qing Xi’s forehead was covered in sweat. She was in so much pain that she could not speak. However, when she heard Mo Ruyue’s words, a faint will to live flashed in her eyes.

“I’m not afraid of suffering, but if you can’t cure me, I’ll make sure father won’t rest until you die! Even I myself will become a malicious ghost that will pester you for all eternity!”

Although she had said such harsh words, Mo Ruyue did not take it to heart at all. As long as she aroused Qing Xi’s desire to live and made her cooperate with her, it did not matter if she hoped for it or hated it. In any case, she could not hurt her at all.

After leaving Qing Xi’s room, Mo Ruyue returned to the main house in the main courtyard and saw the Magistrate, Duanmu Xize who had been waiting.

“How is it, Lady Qin, after seeing Qing Xi’s situation just now, how confident are you now?”

Duanmu Xize raised his head and glanced at Mo Ruyue, taking the initiative to ask.

“Magistrate, the tumor in your daughter’s abdomen has reached the point where it needs to be removed. If it continues to develop like this, it will rupture at any time in a few days. At that time, she will die of pain, and even surgery will be useless.”

Mo Ruyue spoke the truth without any alarmist.

“What? Then why are you still acting so unhurried? Why don’t you hurry up and arrange the surgery? You said before that you needed me to prepare something. Tell me what it is, and I’ll go prepare it right now!”

The calmness on Duanmu Xize’s face instantly disappeared. Qing Xi was his treasure. So what if she was not a man who passed down his joss sticks? Her mother’s clan was extremely powerful. She only had one daughter, Qing Xi. Her value naturally went without saying.

If anything happened to Qing Xi, Duanmu Xize would easily lose the support of her mother’s clan. His position as the Magistrate would not be as stable as it was now.

This was the reason why Duanmu Xize would spare no effort in treating Qing Xi. In the end, it was all for his own benefit.

Now that he heard Mo Ruyue’s words, how could he not be shocked and angry? He wanted Mo Ruyue to perform the operation right now.

“Master Duanmu, no matter how anxious you are, I can’t do it if the conditions for the surgery aren’t right. Even if I force myself to do it, I’ll just be joking with your daughter’s life.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t take his anger to heart at all. If anger could remove the tumor from the air, it would save her a lot of trouble.

Duanmu Xize saw her calm expression and suppressed his anger. He asked again, “Lady Qin, what do you need me to do?”

“Your Excellency, your daughter will lose a lot of blood during the operation. If the blood plasma problem can’t be solved, there’s no need for this operation.”

Mo Ruyue finally revealed the ultimate purpose of her trip.

“Blood? You mean, you need a lot of human blood? What’s so difficult about that? As long as I give the order, people who are willing to sell their blood will line up for you to choose.”

Duanmu Xize thought Mo Ruyue was going to say something, but she actually wanted human blood.

It was not easy to say this out in the open, but it was not a difficult thing for him.

“Lord Magistrate, do you think that you can use anyone’s blood as you please? If that’s the case, why do you rarely hear of doctors performing major operations on people? Even Imperial Physician Tian has never performed this kind of disembowelment surgery before, right?”

Mo Ruyue shook her head. She knew that Duanmu Xize had misunderstood, so she began to explain in detail.

“There’s so much to say about human blood? It actually can’t be directly used by others? Even if they are blood-related, they might not be able to use each other’s blood?”

When Duanmu Xize heard her explanation, he only felt a headache. Who would have thought that there were so many things to say?

The blood had to be matched, the blood had to be clean, and the blood had to be extracted through special means to be made into plasma before it could be used. No wonder no one had heard of anyone who could perform such a major operation.

“Since this blood is so difficult to obtain, what do you need me to do?”

Duanmu Xize no longer had any bargaining chips to hold the initiative, so he could only listen to Mo Ruyue’s various requests.

“My Lord needs to find me a healthy and strong blood donor. He also needs to find me some skilled craftsmen to make tools according to the drawings I provided. I can naturally do the blood test and so on.”

“I’ve just given your daughter a prescription to strengthen her foundation and nurture her vitality. She needs to take it for at least seven days before her body can withstand the operation. In these few days, you have to find a blood donor and prepare the tools I need.”

“If we drag this out for too long, the success rate of the operation will plummet, and I can’t guarantee that your daughter will be able to get off the operating table successfully.”

After Mo Ruyue stated her request, she looked at Duanmu Xize quietly. It would depend on what he would do next.
