Chapter 2111: Severe Hemorrhage

Lu Dasong quickly explained, "It's Li An Qing's wife. She was pregnant, but this morning, she slipped and fell, causing severe hemorrhaging. The local physicians couldn't help her, so An Qing came to my house and asked me to bring him to find Zhao Xi to save her."

"Severe hemorrhaging?" Grandma Lu slapped her thigh. "That can be life-threatening."

She turned to look at Zhao Xi, who had already dismounted from his horse. "Alright, I'll head over."

When it came to a matter of life and death, as a doctor, Zhao Xi couldn't ignore it, even if he didn't have a good opinion of An Qing's wife.

Lu Dasong nodded hastily, but then he remembered something. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, An Qing is still in the cart!"

He lifted the curtain and found that Li An Qing had already fainted with a large bump on his forehead.

Lu Dasong said, "It must have happened when the cart was swaying uncontrollably earlier. I was wondering why it suddenly got so quiet in the back. Zhao Xi, please check if he's alright. It's ironic; we were going to help his wife, but he ended up injured."

Zhao Xi stepped forward to check. "He's fine; he just got knocked out."

After saying that, he pinched Li An Qing's pressure point to wake him up.

Li An Qing was still groggy, and he couldn't even open his eyes properly. Zhao Xi turned around and said to Meng Yunzheng, "It seems I can't accompany you to the capital. You should go ahead. After the Lantern Festival, I'll depart with Second Sister and the others."

Originally, they had planned to leave early and return early, but now it was impossible.

Meng Yunzheng nodded, and Zhao Xi mounted his horse. He said to Lu Dasong, "Uncle, take your time on the way back. I'll go now."

Lu Dasong said in surprise, "Ah? Alright, be careful."

It wasn't until Zhao Xi had ridden off that Li An Qing regained his senses. He saw Shu Yu and the others and hastily climbed down from the mule cart. "Where's Doctor Zhao? My wife is in trouble! Please, get Doctor Zhao to save her!"

"He has already gone ahead on his horse. Don't worry. Are you feeling dizzy? Rest for a moment, and then we'll go back."

After Lu Dasong explained the situation to him, he turned to Grandma Lu and said, "Mother, we won't enter the city today. We're heading back now."

"Alright, take it slow on the journey back and don't rush."

After they left, Grandma Lu shook her head and sighed, "An Qing's wife was perfectly fine a few days ago, but look at what happened now."

Shu Yu supported her and reassured her, "Zhao Xi has gone to help; hopefully, everything will be fine."

"Let's hope so."

Zhao Xi had left, but Meng Yunzheng had to continue his journey. What had started as a group of three had now become two, and for Meng Yunzheng, this meant… well, he could travel faster.

After bidding farewell to Shu Yu, Shu You, and the others, he set off immediately.

Today, only Shu Yu, Shu You, and Grandma Lu had come to see him off. Sending people off had become such a frequent occurrence that even the other members of the Lu family, including Meng Pei, hadn't left the city. Meng Pei simply advised Meng Yunzheng to take the examination seriously and waved him off. He was staying behind to prepare for the marriages of his two children.

When Grandma Lu returned home, she still felt somewhat anxious about the situation in the Li family.

In the afternoon, when Zhao Xi returned, she quickly asked about the situation. "How is An Qing's wife?"

Zhao Xi had already changed into clean clothes. Fortunately, he had been preparing to go to the capital, and his luggage was on horseback. Otherwise, his clothes would have been stained with blood.
