Chapter 707: Chapter 707: If You Can Save Me, Then Surely You Will

However, she didn’t want to die. Why should Zhou Liang be allowed to marry the governor’s daughter, while she must die giving birth to his child?

She had to live.

"You’re carrying twins," Lin Caisang said.

Last time she had diagnosed Liu Yushui, she had not discovered anything. How could it be different now?

"What?!"

Liu Yushui screamed, whether from fear or pain, it was unclear.

No wonder her belly was much larger than usual for expectant mothers. Even the women in the village had pointed out that she looked as if she were full-term.

She had never imagined that she carried twins.

Extending a hand stained with blood, she gripped Lin Caisang’s sleeve tightly, gasping for breath as she looked at her.

"Lin Caisang, save me, save my children. If you save me, I promise not to cause any more trouble. I have nothing left now, except the two children in my belly."

She couldn’t rely on Zhou Liang. Her father, fearful, had fled and wouldn’t return anytime soon. As for her mother...

Ever since her premature labor began, Liu Rumei was nowhere to be seen. Considering the state of her room, Yushui suspected her mother had escaped too. There was truly nothing left in this house.

If she also lost the children in her belly, what would she have left?

"Don’t worry, if it’s possible to save you, I will," Lin Caisang assured her.

Breaking loose from Liu Yushui’s grip, Lin Caisang walked out.

"Brother Molian, have someone slice this ginseng, steep it into a tea, and bring it over. Also bring over a few ginseng slices. These herbs too, they need to be prepared." She pulled out a piece of ginseng out from her bag and passed it to Ya Molian, whispering instructions.

"Sure."

Ya Molian immediately responded.

Seeing his nod, Lin Caisang hurried back inside.

Only then did Lu Qiubo, who was following his granddaughter, enter Liu Yushui’s room.

"Sangsang, how is she?"

"Premature birth, baby is in the wrong position," Lin Caisang answered succinctly.

Thankfully, Granny Bai was not here. If she had been, giving her unprofessional guidance, it would have been uncertain whether Liu Yushui and her babies could survive.

Even now, Lin Caisang was unsure herself.

"What should we do then? Should we... call the midwife again?" Lu Qiubo asked.

She wasn’t familiar with midwifery either. With Granny Bai absent, the situation here was chaotic.

"Grandmother, there’s no time. I’ll start by applying a couple of acupuncture needles, then I’ll try to correct the baby’s position by massaging her belly. That’s the only way," Lin Caisang explained to Lu Qiubo.

It was pointless to bring anyone else now. Who could be more useful than her with her fusion of Chinese and Western medicine? If worse comes to worst, she’d ask everyone else to leave and perform a caesarean section on Liu Yushui.

However, that was a last resort given the limited resources available.

"Liu Yushui, take this pill. It’ll make you feel a little better," she said, bringing the medicine to Liu Yushui’s mouth.

Liu Yushui swallowed the pill without hesitation. Right now, her only hope was Lin Caisang. Without her, Liu Yushui was doomed.

...

Time dragged on as if a century had passed.

More and more people gathered in the courtyard. Even Clan Chief Lin and Land Officer Uncle Jin, who had heard the news, had come. From Liu Yushui’s room, there persisted a screaming, causing everyone to tremble with fear.
