Chapter 107: Persuasion

Perhaps because Pei Qian’s words had worked, but when Lin Suisui finished treating the woman’s wound and told the maidservants to take care of her, General Gao was already smiling.

He even thanked Lin Suisui humbly.

This surprised Lin Suisui a little, but seeing that General Gao was in a good mood, she simply explained the situation to him.

“Her body is weak to begin with. She’s already lucky that this child was saved. As for whether she can survive this, I can’t guarantee it now. I’ve already done my best!

Give her three days! If she can survive the first high fever, her chances of survival would be 70% to 80%!

I’ve just told the wet nurses and girls inside how to take care of her. No matter what you think, that’s still a human life. If possible, please try your best to save her life on the account that she risked her life to give birth to a daughter for you.”

“She can still survive?!” Gao Xuwei cried out and stared at Lin Suisui in disbelief.

She had probably been gutted. How could she still be alive?!

“Yes! Although the chance is small, it’s not impossible!” Lin Suisui looked at Gao Xuwei with certainty. She could see the various emotions in his eyes. There was curiosity and surprise, but there was no pity for the biological mother of his child.

However, in order to give the woman a chance of survival, Lin Suisui thought for a moment and added, “We’ll do our best and let nature take its course! If I can turn the situation around this time, it’ll be your great blessing, General.”

“My blessing?!” Gao Xuwei had yet to recover from the shock just now. When he heard Lin Suisui’s words, he was even more confused.

She was just a plaything. Who would take her seriously?!

Besides, she had only given birth to a girl. Did he have to treat her like a treasure in return?!

“Of course it’s a blessing. General, think about it. In history, which woman had survived a C-section?! Most of them died, and only a small number could keep the child. Have you ever seen a mother survive a C-section?!”

Lu Ze stood behind Lin Suisui. When he heard Gao Xuwei’s question, he didn’t stay silent anymore. Instead, he stopped Lin Suisui and spoke up before she could.

“If that woman can survive this time, it will definitely be the blessing of the heavens! Treating her well will be the equivalent of repaying the heavens. Anyway, she’s just a woman. It won’t cost you much to treat her well.”

Lu Ze’s words were straightforward.

It wasn’t that he wanted to be so straightforward, but if he didn’t make it clear, he was afraid that this fellow wouldn’t understand.

“That makes sense!” Gao Xuwei was stunned for a moment before he quickly came back to his senses and nodded happily. “No matter what, she deserves some credit!”

After Gao Xuwei finished speaking, he stretched and yawned in exhaustion. He didn’t even say that he wanted to see the newborn child in the tent. He said a few words to Pei Qian, then turned around and went to rest!

“General Gao has always been like this. Madam Liu, your compassion might not be reciprocated.” Seeing Gao Xuwei leave, Pei Qian turned around and walked to Lin Suisui and Lu Ze with a smile.

“You know that I’m just an ordinary doctor. It’s my duty to treat illnesses and save people. If we only do so for the sake of personal gain, I’m afraid many people in this world will die of illness.”

Lin Suisui lowered her eyes and bowed slightly. Then, she said, “I’ve already instructed everyone inside. I’ll come over tomorrow morning to take her pulse.”

Pei Qian didn’t stop them from leaving. He just stood where he was and watched as Lu Ze stopped and squatted down to carry Lin Suisui on his back. Then, the two of them left without looking back.

On the other hand…

Pei Qian smiled and turned to instruct Qian He, “Arrange for people to keep a close eye on this place. Help out if they need anything. We’ve seen a lot of blood on this trip. Just treat it as doing a good deed!”

Qian He bowed in agreement, but he couldn’t help but marvel to himself.

Mr. Pei had always killed people without batting an eyelid. Why was he talking about doing good deeds today?!

When Lin Suisui was brought back by Lu Ze, Mrs. Luo and Fang Liu were still guarding the bonfire. Seeing that the two of them had returned safely, Mrs. Luo and Fang Liu heaved a sigh of relief.

“Good lord, you two are finally back safely!”

Mrs. Luo pressed her palms together and said, “You must be tired. I’ve warmed up the ginger soup. Liu Niang, drink a bowl to ward off the cold before you sleep!”

Lin Suisui was indeed exhausted. The suturing had exhausted her mentally and physically. Now that she had a chance to relax, she really wanted to sleep.

Lu Ze took the ginger soup from Mrs. Luo and sat beside Lin Suisui. He let her lean into his arms as she drank the ginger soup.

Lu Ze didn’t delay any longer. He carried Lin Suisui back to the ox cart and helped her take off her heavy clothes. Then, he carefully placed her in the blanket that had been warmed by Mrs. Luo and the others. When he saw that she was asleep, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he left the carriage and thanked Mrs. Luo and the others.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. The general’s concubine had a premature baby, but the matter has been settled already.”

Lu Ze briefly explained the situation to Mrs. Luo before asking them to go back and rest.

When Mrs. Luo heard Lu Ze’s words, she was relieved and nodded with a smile as she said, “Okay, then we’ll go and rest first. It’s getting late. You should rest early as well!

Although it seemed that they wouldn’t be able to set off tomorrow, they had a rare opportunity to catch up on some sleep. It was better to seize this opportunity to conserve their energy.

No matter how healthy you are, you’re not made of iron! You still have to rest!

If you collapse, who will take care of Liu Niang?!”

Thinking of the gossip she had just heard today, Mrs. Luo couldn’t help but look a little worried. “Now that you have a close relationship with the nobles, countless people in this camp have their eyes on you!

Sometimes, jealous people didn’t know their limits!

Even if your husband is capable, you guys can’t be too high profile, or you’ll suffer a huge loss!”
