Chapter 526 Poison, Unconscious
"Yes, yes, okay, I'll go right away."
Mu Yuhuan, worried that the child would catch a cold, held the child and hid behind the screen. She watched as the maids came in with new things, and several people lifted up Madam Lou while others tidied up, their movements incredibly efficient.
After they finished tidying up and put Madam Lou back, Mu Yuhuan came out with the child and placed it next to Madam Lou, while also taking Madam Lou's pulse.
Madam Lou was a little anxious. "Doctor Mu, may I take the child out to show my family? They're all getting impatient."
Mu Yuhuan wanted to refuse, but then she thought that the Lou family seemed to be a decent family, not the kind of old-fashioned family that judges people by their appearance. "Okay, but take a look and bring the baby back quickly. The baby has been in my belly for too long and can't be exposed to the wind now."
"Yes Yes."
Madam Lou the Second carefully carried the child out, and laughter came from outside. After a short while, she brought the child back and placed him next to Madam Lou the First.
"I'll prescribe a medicine for her to help her recover, and I'll also prescribe a medicine for the child, which is a medicinal bath."
"Okay, okay, this way please."
Mu Yuhuan got up and went out with Madam Lou, along with two midwives.
Old Madam Lou stepped forward to take Mu Yuhuan's hand, but Mu Yuhuan subconsciously took a step back. Seeing that the other party was embarrassed, she explained, "I just finished delivering a baby and haven't washed my hands yet."
"Thank you, thank you, Dr. Mu."
"I'm a doctor, it's my duty to save lives. I'll go write a prescription."
"well."
Just as Mu Yuhuan was about to leave, she heard the two midwives say, "We're sorry, we weren't able to help much this time..."
She turned around and said, "Thank you both for helping me in the room. Without your help, the child might not have been saved so smoothly."
The two midwives were surprised and touched. That's how it is when they deliver babies. If both mother and child are safe, they receive thanks from the family. But if something happens to either of them, it's as if they didn't help at all, and sometimes they don't get their reward money.
They did help in the early stages, but after the baby was born, they didn't help much anymore, and the doctor was still willing to speak up for them.
Old Madam Lou was a shrewd woman. She immediately began to thank the two midwives, giving them money and even extra rewards. Finally, she gave them some gifts before having her servants escort them away.
After writing down the prescription, Mu Yuhuan handed it to Madam Lou Er. "Your sister-in-law has a suture, which needs to be removed. She also needs to have the wound cleaned with medicine for the next two days. One prescription is for oral medication, and the other is for washing."
"Okay, okay, I'll make the arrangements."
The two came out of the courtyard. The Lou family hadn't left, nor had the old doctor.
“Master, although the child and the mother have been saved, there is still a risk of other complications. I may have to stay here tonight.”
"it is good."
"I need to trouble Master to send someone to deliver a message to my family, otherwise they'll be worried."
"Don't worry, I'll have someone tell them when I get back."
Old Madam Lou has already instructed Second Madam Lou to prepare the side rooms in First Madam Lou's courtyard so that Mu Yuhuan can have a good rest tonight.
"No need to trouble yourself. I need to stay with the mother and baby tonight, so I'll just make do in the room for the night."
"That won't do. I'll have someone bring in a bed so that I can at least sleep more comfortably at night."
Mu Yuhuan received the highest level of treatment from the Lou family.
After everyone left, Mu Yuhuan didn't rush into the room. Master Lou was still guarding the room, and she only went in when the child started crying.
The Lou family had already hired a wet nurse, and Madam Lou had no intention of breastfeeding. However, it is normal for a woman to experience breast engorgement after giving birth.
That evening, Madam Lou felt chest pain. Mu Yuhuan went to check on her and suggested, "If possible, I hope Madam Lou can breastfeed the baby herself. Breastfeeding will be good for your recovery."
Uterus.
"Is that so?" Madam Lou asked hesitantly.
"Yes, if Madam does not wish to breastfeed, I can prescribe a lactation suppressant for you."
After a moment's thought, Madam Lou said, "I trust you, I'll feed him myself."
When the baby was brought over, perhaps smelling the scent of its mother, it opened its mouth wide and began to look for food. Madam Lou fed it, finding it all quite novel.
"Breastfeeding is good for both you and your baby, but... you might not get enough rest at night. If you're worried about not sleeping well, you can have a wet nurse feed you at night."
"It's alright, I can feed him myself." Madam Lou had previously thought that wealthy families didn't breastfeed their children themselves; it was all done by wet nurses. But when the child started breastfeeding, her thoughts changed.
She endured so much suffering and took so much medicine to have this precious child; there's nothing wrong with feeding the baby herself.
When Madam Lou wasn't sleepy at night, Mu Yuhuan would talk to her about how to take care of her health. When she was sleepy, Mu Yuhuan would take care of the children.
Besides the two of them, there were also two personal maids of Madam Lou in the room.
The two maids were loyal to Madam Lou and knew that Mu Yuhuan was a skilled doctor, so they asked her about all sorts of things to be careful about, afraid that they might not have asked enough questions.
The night passed peacefully, and the child and Madam Lou were doing well. After breakfast, Mu Yuhuan suggested leaving.
Madam Lou Er accompanied her the whole time. When she knew that she was leaving, she handed her a small box. "This is a small gift from our Lou family to express our gratitude. Please accept it, Doctor Mu. Without Doctor Mu, my sister-in-law and child would probably not have survived. You are a great benefactor to our Lou family."
Mu Yuhuan did not refuse, "Then I will accept it. If you need anything at home in the future, you can come to me."
"Okay." This was exactly what Madam Lou had been waiting for. In the face of life, old age, sickness, and death, knowing a skilled doctor provides an extra layer of protection for the lives of family members.
The Lou family specially sent a carriage to take her away, but Mu Yuhuan shook her head vigorously. She didn't want to experience that discomfort again yesterday.
"I'm going to my master's place. No need to see me off; I can walk there myself."
Despite repeated insistence, Mu Yuhuan left with the Lou family seeing her off, and then walked towards Heshantang on her own after leaving the Lou family.
When I arrived at Heshantang, I saw Mu Yuping sitting inside drinking tea.
She was somewhat surprised. "Big brother, what brings you here?"
“We were worried because you didn’t come home yesterday, so I came to check on you first thing this morning. Are you alright?” Mu Yuping asked, her eyes scanning the room. She was relieved to find that she was alright.
Mu Yuhuan quickly shook her head, "I'm fine. Yesterday, a woman in labor was in critical condition. My master and the others are all men, so I was the only one who was available, and that's why I was called over to help."
"That's good, I'm glad you're alright."
"Big brother, did you come here for something, or to pick me up?"
"I'll wait for you. Let's go home together when you're done."
"Okay, I really have something to do. Brother, could you hold this for me? I'm going in to get some medicine." Mu Yuhuan said as she placed the small box given to her by the Lou family into Mu Yuping's arms.
