World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess-Chapter 92 - Happiness

Chapter 92 Happiness

The amniotic sac was opened and since the amniotic membrane had been broken, most of the amniotic fluid had run off, so Su Muge directly reached into her belly and took the baby out.

Seeing a child covered with blood come out of Madam Duke Qing’s belly, the midwife was totally stupefied.

Having been a midwife for so many years, she had never seen a cesarean section.

After the child was taken out, she found the child with a serious umbilical cord around the neck. If the child was forced to be delivered naturally, the umbilical cord around the neck would cause the suffocation of the fetus to varying degrees.

After Su Muge cut the umbilical cord and cleaned his nose and mouth, the child whimpered and cried out. The voice was not loud, but enough to be heard.

“Treat the child.”

Su Muge passed the baby to the midwife, who suddenly recovered from the shock and hurriedly stepped forward to take over the child.

She was experienced in treating babies, so she did it quite smoothly.

After Su Muge took out the placenta and confirmed that all the work was done, she began to stitch Madam Duke’s wound.

It was not difficult to stitch the wound, so Su Muge quickly completed it. And then she applied some medicine to the wound to prevent inflammation and infection. In this era, there were no antibiotics, so inflammation and infection were very troublesome.

After everything was done, Su Muge wiped off the sweat beads on her forehead. She turned around and found the midwife standing there in a daze while holding the baby and looking at her.

“Why don’t you go out to announce the good news?”

Only then did the midwife reacted and walked out with the child in her arms.

Princess Linghua was sitting in the main hall of the clinic. After receiving the news, Duke Qing had also hurried over and was pacing back and forth anxiously.

“Squeak.”

As soon as the door was opened, Duke Qing stepped forward nervously.

“Madam, how is my wife?”

“Congratulations to Duke Qing! It’s a young master.”

Duke Qing stared at the child with ruddy skin in the midwife’s arms. “My son …”

“What about Madam Duke Qing?” Princess Linghua stepped forward and asked.

“Uh … I don’t know …”

“Madam Duke Qing is still in narcosis, and it will take some time before she wakes up.” Su Muge came out of the room and closed the door.

“Let me go inside and see her.”

Su Muge stopped him.

“Duke, Madam hasn’t woken up yet. You’d better not go inside.”

Duke Qing was 38 years old this year with a good appearance. But now he looked rather anxious with red bloodshot eyes, and his belted sword-sleeved robe patterned with green bamboo had been rumpled.

“Why not?”

“Duke, you also know that I’ve done a cesarean section, so there is a wound on Madam Duke’s body. You’d better wait until she wakes up.”

“You mean Madam … is okay?” Duke Qing couldn’t believe his ears; he was even ready to go inside and see his wife for the last time!

“There was no problem during the operation, but we still have to wait and see her actual condition after Madam wakes up.” Su Muge wouldn’t make her words absolute in front of these people.

Duke Qing and others had no idea of operation, but they could probably understand that Madam Duke Qing was all right now!

“Okay, then I’ll have to bother you to take care of her, Miss Su!”

Madam Duke Qing woke up after two hours. With the gradually fading effect of anesthesia, the pain of the wound was extremely unbearable for her.

“Child, where is my child …”

Hearing the movement, Duke Qing, who was waiting outside, rushed in immediately. “Jiaojiao, you finally wake up.” Jiaojiao was Madam Duke Qing’s nickname.

At the sight of Duke Qing, Madam Duke Qing’s eyes abruptly turned red. The long-prepared nanny had also been sent here from Duke Qing Mansion.

The nanny brought the child up. Seeing the child, Madam Duke Qing couldn’t help bursting into tears.

Although the husband and wife were harmonious these years, her mother-in-law had been much more indifferent to her because she couldn’t give birth to a son. But now, she could finally get rid of her sense of guilt.

“Jiaojiao, don’t cry. Miss Su says you can’t be sad now and you must work hard to build up your body.”

“Miss Su … she has saved me and our son. My Lord, we have to thank Miss Su.”

Standing in the lobby, Su Muge could also hear the conversation between the husband and wife.

Yes, they must thank her!

It would be perfect if they could send her more gold, silver and jewelry!

“Your Grace, the old lady of Duke Qing Mansion sent someone here to take Madam Duke back to the mansion.” It wasn’t decent indeed for a Grade-1 Madam Duke to stay in a small clinic.

“Well, let them in.”

“Yes.”

In a while, a woman in her early twenties wearing a nattier-blue strapless silk dress walked in with a maid.

Seeing her, Princess Linghua instantly put on a stern look.

“Your Grace, pay my respects to you.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Your Grace, it was the old lady who asked me to bring Madam back to the mansion. She has suffered a lot to give birth to the first son of Duke Qing Mansion. How can we leave her in this small clinic?”

Her words were polite, but too polite to hear. She didn’t seem to treat Madam Duke Qing as a family at all.

During the speech, Duke Qing walked out of the room. Seeing the woman, he frowned. “Mother let you come?”

At the sight of Duke Qing, the woman raised up her eyes and looked at him affectionately.

“Yes, I …”

“You go back first and leave the people here.”

The woman pursed with grievances, but Duke Qing had looked away, so she could only leave the clinic.

Su Muge secretly curled her lips. Seeing that Duke Qing was really nervous about Madam Duke Qing, Su Muge thought he was very single-minded to his wife. However, it turned out that he still had concubines.

Duke Qing expressed his sincerest gratitude to Su Muge, saying that he would go to Su Mansion to thank her in person.

After a few modest words, Su Muge told him some precautions of cesarean section and said that she would go back and take the stitches out after seven days. And then, Duke Qing took Madam Duke Qing to the carriage and left.

Princess Linghua offered to send Su Muge back but was declined by Su Muge. She didn’t persist and got on her carriage and left.

Su Muge sat in the chair of the clinic, feeling tired. She planned to see Cheng Ran today but unexpectedly went through a busy day of work.

It was getting darker now. Su Muge looked at her embarrassed appearance and left the clinic with her medical kit.

She was to go to Cheng Ran’s yard, but she felt so tired and gave it up.

She didn’t rent a carriage but walked alone on the street with fewer pedestrians carrying her medical kit.

Inexplicably, she suddenly thought of the voluptuous face of Duke Qing’s concubine.

Madam Duke Qing, who was nearly forty years old, insisted on giving birth to her son regardless of the danger; she may have done so not only for the sake of Duke Qing but also for herself. In this world, women were still too weak after all.

When she desperately gave birth to a son for her husband, he would still vent his desires with other younger and prettier women at night while feeling distressed for his wife.

Su Muge suddenly thought of herself; if she had to marry someone, what kind of man would she marry?

“It’s dark, what are you doing here?”

Immersed in thinking, Su Muge was startled by a sudden deep voice from behind.

She turned around and saw Xia Houmo’s handsome face which made her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

Su Muge promptly looked away. “Your Royal Highness.”

Xia Houmo was riding on a dark horse and was almost hidden in the gradually darkening night.

Xia Houmo swiftly dismounted and came to Su Muge.

“I heard that you have done a cesarean section for Madam Duke Qing today.”

There were so many imperial guards around at that time, so it was not surprising that Xia Houmo, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, had known.

“Yes.”

“Don’t you go home?”

Su Muge looked up at him. Although the dim light blurred his handsome face, she felt Xia Houmo more real at this time than usual.

“Your Royal Highness, I’m so hungry after a tiring day. And I don’t know whether I can have dinner if I go home now. Would you like to have dinner with me?”

Xia Houmo raised his dashing eyebrows slightly. Thinking of the bear paws she cooked, he felt the taste still lingering in his mouth.

“Okay.”

Su Muge immediately grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth in the dark.

Looking at her white teeth, Xia Houmo suddenly felt a little trance.

“Let’s go, Your Royal Highness.”

In a flash, the sylphlike girl had gone away.

Xia Houmo smiled and followed up with his horse.

The two finally stopped in front of a wonton store.

The wonton store was run by a young couple who warmly greeted them at the sight of them coming over.

Su Muge put the medical kit on the table, sat down and turned to look at Xia Houmo as if waiting for him to get angry and leave.

After a few words with Donglin, Xia Houmo sat opposite to Su Muge to Donglin’s astonishment.

“Boss, two bowls of wonton noodles.”

“Okay, wait a minute.”

Su Muge watched the busy figures of the couple with her head supported by her hands. There was also a night market in the capital. The couple seemed to have just opened their store.

Seeing Su Muge absorbed in something, Xia Houmo followed her gaze.

What was so special about the couple selling wonton? Wasn’t he more attractive than the couple?!

“Your Royal Highness, look how happy they are.”

Whatever the couple was doing, they always had a faint smile in their eyes, appearing to be very happy.

“Why are they so happy?” He wondered why making wontons could make them laugh so happily.

“Because of happiness.” Su Muge turned to look at Xia Houmo.

“It’s happiness for a woman to live a serene life with her husband for her whole life.”

With his black eyes turning deeper, Xia Houmo was amazed at the unmarried young girl talking about “husband” and “happiness” in front of him. Was it a slip of tongue or a hint to him?
