There is a god in the sky

Chapter 290 The Broken Engagement Scandal 5

Xie Jingfeng thought the girl was crazy.

He knew it was unreliable to hire a coroner to treat the patient; was she treating the pregnant woman like a dead person?

A cesarean section! She really dares to think that way!

"Get out!" Xie Jingfeng threw the paper on the ground and roared fiercely.

Shen Lan said in a deep voice, "You might as well listen to the sounds inside. If she can't give birth, it's inevitable that both she and her unborn child will die."

Doctor Chen picked up the paper from the ground, quickly read its contents, and stared at Shen Lan with wide eyes in shock.

How dare she?

Could it be that I really misjudged him?

The other two doctors also came over to look, each of them glaring and bristling.

"Where did this quack doctor come from? This is outrageous!"

"I have heard of someone delivering a cow's calf like that before, and the calf survived while the cow died."

"Cutting open a pregnant woman's abdomen is too cruel and inhumane. Who can endure such pain?"

"But then again, doing this will at least protect the younger ones."

The two spoke in increasingly lower voices, glancing nervously at Young Master Xie.

Compared to the loss of both mother and child, saving the baby is considered a good outcome, and many families value their children more than their mothers.

Xie Jingfeng turned and went into the house, and it is unknown what he said to the woman.

The woman couldn't cry; the pain overwhelmed all her other senses. All she wanted was to get rid of the baby in her belly as soon as possible.

"Xie Lang, I'm going to die... our child..."

The midwife exclaimed in alarm and quickly pinched the philtrum, "The lady has fainted!"

Xie Jingfeng took a deep breath, turned around and went out, then took a pen and signed the consent form.

He asked through gritted teeth, "How confident are you?"

"Protect the large, 50%; protect the small, 90%; protect both the large and the small, 30%."

Xie Jingfeng's eyes lit up. "Fine! I'll trust you this once, but if you can't protect even one of them, don't think that just because you're a coroner appointed by the Emperor himself, you're not a county princess appointed by him. I'll make you pay the price!"

Shen Lan began putting on gloves and a mask, and calmly said, "Threatening doctors is a very unwise thing to do!"

Before entering the room, she said, "I want Doctor Chen as my assistant. Only one midwife will stay in the room. Everyone else, get out and don't come in without my permission!"

Vinegar was being smoked in a corner of the room; Shen Lan had just instructed the maid to do so.

She had the midwife and Dr. Chen change into clean clothes at the door before coming in, and they also wore gloves and masks.

The bedding had just been changed, and Shen Lan had the maid take all the dirty things out of the room before leaving.

Cesarean section is not considered a major surgery in the 21st century, and it does not even require general anesthesia.

Although the pregnant woman had fainted, Shen Lan still instructed Doctor Chen to feed her a cup of water with anesthetic added.

The midwife was so frightened that her legs trembled.

As soon as Shen Lan took out the knife, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

“Go out and find a brave old woman to wash her hands and put on clean new clothes.”

Doctor Chen asked, puzzled, "I understand washing my hands, but why do we all have to change into new clothes?"

Shen Lan was wearing a white blouse, but she only had one, so the others had to change into clean clothes.

"Babies are weak, and the dirt on adults can easily make them sick." This is the simplest and easiest explanation to understand.

Shen Lan only began to act once everyone had arrived.

Doctor Chen thought he would see a very bloody and horrific scene, but in fact, the belly that Shen Lan cut open was not very big.

The baby was quickly delivered from the womb, and Shen Lan handed the baby over to Doctor Chen.

"It's a boy. He inhaled too much amniotic fluid and needs to have it suctioned out."

Doctor Chen only knew how to treat illnesses, not how to care for infants. He woke the midwife with a needle and handed the child to her.

The midwife was indeed much more experienced; after several pats, the baby cried.

Doctor Chen was overjoyed and went to examine the child. Apart from being a little weak, the child looked to be the same size as a full-term baby.

Seeing Shen Lan take out a needle and thread, he asked in confusion, "What are you going to do with the needle and thread?"

"Sew up the wound."

Shen Lan worked quickly and skillfully, sewing her belly up layer by layer.

She used only ordinary cotton thread, and the thread would need to be removed later, so she was very careful with every stitch.

Doctor Chen had also heard of this practice before. Recently, some old men had been discussing stitching up wounds, but he thought it was just a joke.

Just by looking at the girl's technique, you can tell this isn't the first time she's done this.

He couldn't help but ask, "Miss Shen, the dead and the living should be different. Can you really sew them up with needle and thread?"

Dead people don't cry out in pain, and their wounds don't care how long they grow, but it's different for the living.

"The skin has a repair function, and the wound will heal in a few days. Doctor Chen, you can wait a few more days and take another look."

"Will this scar stay with her for the rest of her life? What woman could bear to see such a scar?"

The freshly stitched wound did look very ugly, like a centipede.

"It will be much better once the stitches are removed, but scars are inevitable. The only thing you can do is take good care of yourself in the future to make the scars fade."

Compared to losing my life, this scar is nothing.

Doctor Chen quickly went to take the woman's pulse.

The amount of blood loss she just experienced was not enough to kill her; although her pulse was weak, she was definitely alive.

"She must wake up in an hour. She should continue taking her medicine as usual, and the lochia in her uterus must be completely expelled."

"Would Sheng Hua Tang be suitable?"

"Okay, you can also add wolfberry, prepared Polygonum multiflorum, and Cuscuta chinensis to nourish the kidneys and blood."

As the two were talking, the woman slowly woke up, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of fear.

She slowly placed her hand on her stomach and found it was empty.

Very strange feeling.

"I'm alive?"

Shen Lan said gently, "The baby has been delivered and is still alive. I've also removed the placenta. Now you can just focus on recovering and remember not to get emotional."

The people outside were getting impatient.

When Xie Jingfeng heard the baby crying, he found his legs went weak.

If he hadn't remembered what Shen Lan had said, he would have rushed in long ago.

It wasn't until dark that the door to the delivery room opened. The midwife stood inside, holding the baby, and said with a forced smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Xie, it's a big, healthy boy."

Xie Jingfeng had just smiled when he asked anxiously, "How is my wife?"

The midwife turned her head stiffly for a glance, then forced a smile: "It's fine."

That smile was more like a grimace, making Xie Jingfeng feel uncertain.

He was about to enter when Shen Lan stopped him.

"Do not let any outsiders into this room for five days. Just assign two careful old women to take turns watching over it. Remember, everyone must be clean before entering the room."

The midwife hesitated, glancing down at the baby in her arms, as if she had something to say.

She was hired by Young Master Xie, so there are some things he should be told.

Shen Lan didn't notice when the midwife went out. She heard the baby crying and knew he must be hungry, so she took the baby to the woman and asked her to try breastfeeding him.

Families like the Xie family had already chosen wet nurses long ago, and not just one.

But Shen Lan told her that it would be best to breastfeed herself a few times during her postpartum period, as it would help with uterine contractions.

Shen Lan didn't notice the woman staring blankly at the child; she was only teaching the old woman how to take care of the new mother during her postpartum period.
