Chapter 764 Thrilling
Has something happened at the manor?
Lu Yangyang grabbed the maid's arm. "Is your mistress surnamed Sheng? I'm her sister. What happened in the manor?"
"Sister?" The maid was initially anxious because she was forcibly stopped, but after hearing Lu Yangyang's words, she couldn't help but frown. Madam... it seems that she does indeed have a sister.
She came to serve the master and his wife after they settled here, but she had also heard from the lady's sister that the lady came from a prominent family in the capital and had several brothers and sisters.
Why would the lady's sister come to their small town?
The maid hesitated for a moment, but then, remembering that there were more important things to do, she didn't have time to say anything to Lu Yangyang: "Miss, then you should go find the gatekeeper to take you inside to wait. Our lady just fell and went into premature labor. I have to hurry and fetch a doctor and a midwife, otherwise our lady will be in danger!"
"What?" Lu Yangyang never expected that she would dare to do such a thing when she came at this time.
"Take me in, I am the doctor, I can save your lady!" Without thinking of anything else, Lu Yangyang said decisively.
"You?" The maid clearly didn't believe her. "Miss, please don't joke around. This is a matter of life and death. Our mistress is in great danger!"
"Then I'll go in myself, you go find the doctor!" Lu Yangyang was certain that the person inside was indeed her older sister, and she had to hurry in to save her.
After saying that, Lu Yangyang walked directly towards the main entrance.
"Oh, you—" The maid didn't expect Lu Yangyang to actually go, so she quickly chased after her, calling one of the gatekeepers to fetch a doctor and the other to inform the master. She led Lu Yangyang inside, gave a brief explanation to the old woman guarding the gate, and then hurriedly ran out again: "Miss, you go and see our mistress first, I'll go and fetch a midwife!"
When the old woman guarding the gate heard that Lu Yangyang was a relative of the lady's family, she quickly led her into the courtyard.
As soon as Lu Yangyang entered, she noticed that the house was not large, with three courtyards. Sheng Yunruo lived in the innermost main house. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Lu Yangyang heard the woman's painful and weak sobs.
The maid at the door paced anxiously back and forth. Seeing someone enter, she hurriedly called out, "Is the doctor here?"
The old woman quickly replied to the maid, "Miss Ping, it's not a doctor, it's a relative from the madam's family."
"A relative of Madam's family?" Ping'er frowned, looking at Lu Yangyang in disbelief, her brows furrowing even deeper: "You, you are..."
“I am a relative of the Sheng family and also a doctor. Could you please fetch me a basin of water so I can wash up and then go see your young lady? Is that alright?” Lu Yangyang said.
“Okay, okay…” Ping’er stared at Lu Yangyang’s face, hesitated for a moment, but subconsciously agreed and instructed the old woman leading the way, “Take the young lady to the side room to tidy up.”
The old woman led Lu Yangyang to the side room, and Ping'er quickly turned around and went into the inner room.
Sheng Yunruo was lying on the bed, her eyes closed, unconscious. Her face was pale and bloodless. Her wet nurse, Mama Yu, was by her side, anxiously wiping the sweat from Sheng Yunruo's face with a handkerchief.
Ping'er walked into the room with a troubled and worried look on her face: "Madam, Mother, a young lady has come from outside. She says she is a relative of the Sheng family and also a doctor. She wants to come and see the young lady."
"Nonsense! What time is it? Why are you still worrying about these things? Tell someone to settle things first, and we'll talk about it later!" Mrs. Yu scolded.
"But, but that girl looks very similar to the Duchess and the Second Young Master. There's no way that face could be wrong!" Ping'er had served Sheng Yunruo since childhood and was very familiar with the appearance of the Duchess Lan and the young masters in the mansion, especially the Second Young Master, who had grown up to be like an immortal since childhood. No one could forget him.
But she really couldn't remember any girl in the Duke's mansion who looked like that; it just didn't seem possible!
Upon hearing her description, Yu's mother's expression changed drastically: "Could it be...that person?"
They had left the Duke's mansion a few years earlier. The Duke had never been particularly warm towards their eldest daughter, and her marriage was rather ordinary. So, after her marriage, she never returned, using the excuse of being married off to a distant place. But a few years ago, the eldest daughter received a letter from the young master, saying that the pampered third daughter of the Duke's mansion had been switched at birth, and that their Duke's mansion's true daughter was someone else entirely.
When the eldest daughter saw the letter, she smiled sarcastically. She vividly remembered how the third daughter had bullied her eldest daughter, one thing after another. The third daughter always talked about how the eldest daughter was a concubine's daughter, but in the end, she was the one who usurped the eldest daughter's place.
After that, they stopped paying attention to what was happening in the capital. However, the adults would tell the girl about some important events, so she knew a little about them.
But how did that person end up here with their girl?
Yu's mother was full of doubts, but then she saw a girl with beautiful features walk in carrying a medicine box. There were still damp water stains on her temples, indicating that she had just washed.
One glance was enough to dispel any doubt. Yu's mother stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "You, you..."
Lu Yangyang walked over carrying her medicine box: "I'm a doctor, I'll take a look at you, big sister."
Even though Mrs. Yu didn't believe her, looking at this face, she didn't dare to refuse her and subconsciously moved aside, "Young lady, you..."
Lu Yangyang sat down and took Sheng Yunruo's pulse: "We can talk about it later."
Lu Yangyang took Sheng Yunruo's pulse and her expression suddenly changed. She then hurriedly reached out and lifted the blanket covering Sheng Yunruo. The blanket was already soaked with blood, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire room almost instantly.
Seeing this, Yu's mother was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, crying out, "Miss, Miss!"
"She's been frightened and is bleeding heavily. If the baby isn't removed and the bleeding stopped in time, she'll surely die. Go and boil some water right now, and leave one person behind to help!" Lu Yangyang calmly instructed.
"I'll go and have someone boil water!" Ping'er immediately turned and went out.
Lu Yangyang instructed Yu's mother, "Go and get some clean bedding, quickly."
At this moment, Madam Yu didn't care about anything else. She hurriedly got up to get her things. At her age, she had seen a lot. Even without Lu Yangyang saying anything, she could see clearly that the young lady was in such a state that even a god couldn't save her. If they waited for the midwife and the doctor to arrive, it would probably be too late.
Yu's mother brought over clean bedding. Lu Yangyang had already taken off Sheng Yunruo's clothes, tore off the dirty bedding, carried her to the new bedding, quickly gave Sheng Yunruo an acupuncture, fed her medicine, disinfected the knife, had Yu's mother stuff a strip of cloth into Sheng Yunruo's mouth, and then deftly cut Sheng Yunruo's skin with the knife.
Yu's mother was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, but Lu Yangyang remained calm. By the time Ping'er brought in the boiled water, Lu Yangyang had already brought out a baby, quickly wrapped it up, and placed it by the bedside. She then took out another baby.
"Wait until the water temperature is right, then wash the two children." After giving the instructions, Lu Yangyang began to focus on cleaning Sheng Yunruo's wound, and finally began to stitch it up.
The whole process took nearly half an hour.
Just then, the maid who had brought back the doctor and midwife bumped into Huo Lin, who had rushed back after receiving the news. Huo Lin's expression changed drastically, and he rushed into the room without caring about the dust on his clothes, shouting, "Ruo Ruo!"
At a glance, I saw Lu Yangyang holding a needle and stitching up her wound.
With a "whoosh," a longsword was drawn and pointed at Lu Yangyang. "What are you doing?"
