The scream made people shudder - it might be because of fear, or it might be because he spoke so suddenly and startled people.
Du Xiaocao's face was calm. "You are howling so fiercely, but this is just the beginning." Xiaocao lightly tapped his abdomen. "You feel as if your body is being torn apart by the pain later. Don't you want to die?"
Son-in-law Zuo's limbs were dislocated, so he couldn't even crawl up, and he couldn't even cover his stomach with his hands. He just rolled on the ground like a maggot. Madam Zuo saw it and felt heartbroken. Naturally, she was also angry at Xiaocao, but no matter how she struggled, she was stopped by Xiaocao's maid and could not move forward.
"Princess Anguo, even if you are a princess, don't go too far!"
Xiao Cao stood up leisurely, "Too much? That's too much? Madam Zuo loves her son, but my second aunt doesn't love her daughter? My sixth sister almost died, but don't worry about your son, he won't die. He's just experiencing the pain of childbirth, not a real birth, how can it be fatal? Women go through ten months of pregnancy and then walk through the gates of hell, how much sin and suffering there is, madam knows it too. Let me ask you, if your husband was standing outside the door flirting with other women when you were giving birth, and he saw basins of blood and said nonchalantly, 'It's just like that when women give birth,' how would you feel?"
Mrs. Zuo’s expression froze.
Xiaocao glanced at the person wailing on the ground, and perhaps he had adapted to it a little, and his voice became a little quieter.
"For a man to make a woman willingly bear a child, all he needs is true love, wealth, and status. Your son can't even offer any of these, yet he still dares to speak so shamelessly. If Madam can't bear to let him suffer even this little, then fine, let's sign the divorce papers. My sixth sister will take the child back to her parents' home, and you can raise him like a giant baby for the rest of his life. When you die one day, you can take him with you."
Xiaocao rarely speaks harshly, but sometimes what he says can really hurt.
Madam Zuo's face was frozen at this moment, but she was no longer fluttering, and there was something obscure in her eyes that was difficult to discern.
Xiao Cao's eyes curled the corners of his lips coldly, "Madam, this is just the birth, there is also pregnancy. Of course, I won't let your son experience it for ten months. One month is enough. In this month, I will make him realize it deeply."
Mrs. Zuo shivered unconsciously, and a chill ran down her back.
She had never had direct contact with Xiaocao before, but she had heard a lot of rumors about her. The most concentrated ones were in two aspects: a master in medicine and a doctor is like a parent. The former refers to medical skills, and the latter refers to medical ethics. Probably no one would question her medical skills, but medical ethics is sometimes linked to temperament - although not completely the same - from what Mrs. Zuo knew, Xiaocao's temperament was naturally very good, but at this moment, she completely overturned this idea.
As for Master Zuo, Xiaocao naturally did not give him the "level 10 pain" directly. Acupuncture is effective quickly, but the medicine takes a long time to work.
Brother Zuo was in so much pain that he screamed "pain" all the time at first and rolled on the ground. His clothes were soaked with sweat and he looked very miserable. However, no one cared about him, or perhaps, no one dared to care because Xiao Cao was there to calm him down.
Later on, he kept admitting his mistakes in various ways, mumbling things, saying it to Xiaocao, to Wenrenxi, to someone else, in short, he was just confused.
Any woman who has given birth can probably see that Master Zuo is truly experiencing the pain of childbirth. Having once again witnessed Xiao Cao's unpredictable methods, she also feels very happy and believes that these men should be allowed to have a taste of this feeling.
Mrs. Zuo no longer dared to ask Xiaocao to let her son go, but only asked cautiously how long it would last.
"How long? Twelve hours, not that long." She couldn't just wait and "seal" Zuo Guye's voice. His howling disturbed people's rest. She turned around and said, "Sixth sister, I still have things to do. You should rest and take care of yourself. Don't worry about other things. They are not important."
Wenrenxi nodded and said, "I am sorry for wasting Fourth Sister's time. Please go and get busy."
"I left two maids here. They know what to do. It's also just in case. If anything happens, they can inform me in time. If there are no unexpected situations, I will come again tomorrow." The situation has been stabilized, and there will be no more accidents. Xiaocao still has confidence in this.
"Well, thank you four sisters."
"We are sisters, why are you being polite? - Mom, what about you?"
Han is the aunt, and the Wen family will have guests coming frequently in the next few days. Therefore, she, the mistress of the house, cannot do without her. Wenren Xi needs more rest, and there seems to be no point for Wenren Ying and the others to stay here, so in the end only Du stayed.
Brother Zuo was taken out of the house, and Wenren Xi was allowed to take a look. There was no way he could be allowed to mess around in the house all the time.
Before leaving, Xiaocao repositioned his joints. Repositioning a dislocated joint doesn't mean there won't be pain, but compared to the "level 10 pain", this pain can basically be ignored.
Xiaocao "delivered" Wenrenxi and treated her, so naturally her body was covered with some stuff. She simply washed herself and went back to Wenrenxi's house to change clothes. Then she was going to go to the palace. As the protagonist of the celebration banquet, she was leaving in the middle of the banquet and had not told Emperor Xuanren in person, so she naturally had to go and "apologize".
As for the matter of Wenren Creek, in the eyes of Emperor Xuanren, it was naturally a trivial matter. Because of Xiaocao, asking about it was already a favor. However, when Xiaocao mentioned the punishment she had given to Son-in-law Zuo, Emperor Xuanren became somewhat interested.
Xiaocao didn't hide it.
Speaking of which, this emperor, to some extent, is the biggest scum among scumbags, and he should be the most chauvinistic person. He should be quite disgusted with Xiaocao's behavior. However, Emperor Xuanren seems to be different. Or maybe he is simply protecting his own shortcomings and being unreasonable. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with Xiaocao at all.
—He was even interested enough to send someone on the spot to pass a message to the newly appointed Kaiping Guard Commander, Prince Wei.
I don't know whether to say that he still has a childish nature or that he has a bad taste. Xiaocao is helpless and doesn't want to think about whether he is a scumbag or not. After all, thinking about this question will only make her feel uncomfortable.
After finishing the story, he checked Emperor Xuanren's pulse and found that he was in good condition. Xiaocao couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that my father is very obedient and follows the doctor's advice very well."
"An Guo has spent so much effort. As your father, I cannot let you waste your efforts in vain."
Emperor Xuanren was the supreme ruler and he was absolutely restrained when necessary, which was rare in an emperor.
After Xiaocao left the palace, she went to the Imperial Medical Service again to see how the hospital had progressed during her absence. The progress was pretty good.
Next, Xiaocao prepares to build its first hospital.
