Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 84 - 48 Saving Lives_1

Chapter 84: Chapter 48 Saving Lives_1
"Fatty Brother, where do you live?" Lian Manman deliberately smiled at the chubby boy.
The chubby boy was indeed dazzled by Lian Manman’s smile. She seized the opportunity when his hand relaxed, pulled back her own braid, and at the same time kicked the chubby boy in his round belly with a lifted foot. The chubby boy, who was round and typically resistant to being hit, staggered and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
Her foot felt pretty good. Lian Manman thought evilly as she stepped forward to stand on the chubby boy.
"You little fat pig, how old are you to start teasing girls? Today I will teach you a lesson and rid the people of a scourge."
The chubby boy rolled on the ground, struggled to get up, and Lian Manman took the chance to grab one of his ears.
"Ouch, it hurts, Little Apple, let go," the chubby boy wailed, not forgetting to flirt even with his words.
Lian Manman became angrier and put a bit more force into her grip.
"Tell me, do you dare to tease others again? I’ll tear off your ear and eat it with cold dishes," Lian Manman threatened.
At that moment, footsteps came from behind the drawing room. Imperial Doctor Shi and Wang Youheng had returned.
"Manman..." Wang Youheng caught sight of Lian Manman holding a chubby boy’s ear and hurried over, "What’s going on here?"
"It’s nothing." Lian Manman took a quick glance at Imperial Doctor Shi, hurriedly released her hand, "He just fell by accident, I was helping him up."
Lian Manman pretended to help the chubby boy dust off his clothes, while secretly threatening him with her eyes.
"Little Apple," the chubby boy muttered under his breath.
Where did she resemble a Little Apple? Wasn’t it just because she ran from the village to the town and cried for a while that her face was a bit red? This kid was so mischievous. Lian Manman thought to herself, her gaze becoming fiercer.
The chubby boy immediately jumped away, still covering his ear with his hand.
"Uncle Grandpa, where are you going? I’ll go with you," the chubby boy ran to Imperial Doctor Shi’s side.
Lian Manman was both annoyed and relieved. The chubby boy was calling Imperial Doctor Shi ’Uncle Grandpa’, which indicated a close relationship. Fortunately, the chubby boy didn’t tattle to Imperial Doctor Shi. Even if he had, could it be possible that Imperial Doctor Shi would refuse to treat a patient just because of some child’s play? However, considering what Imperial Doctor Shi had just said to Wang Youheng, it was uncertain. Lian Manman secretly wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead.
"...This is a matter of saving someone, you can’t go," Imperial Doctor Shi firmly denied the chubby boy’s request, called two servants over, and had them take the chubby boy away. The chubby boy, still unable to stay quiet, made faces at Lian Manman as he left.
Lian Manman turned away, pretending not to see.
Imperial Doctor Shi had another carriage prepared, brought along a servant to carry the medicine chest, and together with Lian Manman and Wang Youheng, they raced back to Thirty Mile Camp.
In the west wing room, a thick scent of blood lingered, emanating from Lady Zhang and a wooden bucket on the floor. Lady Zhang had already fainted. Lian Shouxin was frowning with concern at the edge of the kang bed, while Lian Zhizhi, Chunzhu’s Wife, and Lady Zhao, who had come in from the fields, were tending to Lady Zhang. Wu Lang and Xiao Qi were sent outside. Tears streaked everyone’s faces, and Lian Manman’s heart tightened—had they arrived too late, had Lady Zhang already...
Doctor Lu was drenched in sweat, and upon seeing Wang Youheng bring Imperial Doctor Shi, he immediately greeted them.
"How is she?" Imperial Doctor Shi entered, walked straight to Lady Zhang, Lian Manman immediately brought over a chair for Imperial Doctor Shi, and as he sat down to take Lady Zhang’s pulse, he asked Doctor Lu about her condition.
"...By the time I got here, the child was already gone. I administered a prescription, forced it down her, but the bleeding won’t stop, and the patient has fainted several times now. Although we’re sustaining her life with medicine, I fear that..." Doctor Lu, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, stood respectfully beside Imperial Doctor Shi, and recounted Lady Zhang’s condition.
Imperial Doctor Shi’s face was somber, his fingers pressing on Lady Zhang’s pulse, his brow furrowing tightly.
"Sir, I beg you, save my wife’s life..." Lian Shouxin knelt down in front of Imperial Doctor Shi, crying.
"You, get up first." Imperial Doctor Shi said to Lian Shouxin.
"Fourth Uncle Lian, the doctor needs silence to check the pulse..." said Wang Youheng, helping Lian Shouxin to his feet.
Imperial Doctor Shi checked Lady Zhang’s right hand, then switched to the left hand for a while.
"What caused the miscarriage?" Imperial Doctor Shi raised his head to ask.
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
"We were all in the fields, mother came home to cook, grandma said she fell," said Lian Manman.
"How has the patient’s health been, generally?" Imperial Doctor Shi asked further.
"Very good, she hadn’t even caught a small illness for years. This pregnancy seemed to be stable..." This time, it was Lian Shouxin who answered.
