Su Cheng knew that Gu Qianying was thinking of him, but as a man, he could not enter.
He felt that if he did so, it would only bring trouble to Gu Qianying, so he did not agree this time.
Seeing that he had no reaction for a long time and remained standing with his eyes closed, Gu Qianying suddenly remembered that she had been a little careless in her haste.
Thus, she called for Xiao Yihao from outside.
Time passed unnoticed. With Xiao Yihao's help, Gu Qianying successfully removed a large tumor from the pregnant woman's abdomen.
"Take this thing out first. Mother will stitch up the incision for this lady."
After instructing Xiao Yihao to go out, Gu Qianying continued with the wound treatment.
As the young medical assistant emerged from the curtain of clothes, everyone's gaze turned towards him, and the object in his hand was exposed to everyone's eyes.
"Heavens, what is that?"
"Yes, such a big lump of flesh, so disgusting." Some delicate young ladies, seeing such a thing, quickly covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.
The pregnant woman's husband, instead of showing disgust, stepped forward, wanting to examine it closely.
"What is this?" He guessed that this should be the tumor the physician inside had mentioned, but how could such a large thing grow inside his wife.
Seeing that he was so close to the foul object, the old woman beside him hurried forward and pulled him to her side.
"Such a disgusting thing, why are you still getting close? Who knows if that woman ate or drank something unclean to get such a thing? It's enough to make anyone sick, and the thing taken out of her body is also nauseating."
The person inside had just been rescued from danger. She didn't care, but instead spoke such hurtful words, which were truly unbearable to hear.
Duan Xifeng had tolerated this old woman for a long time and could not bear it any longer. He immediately began to scold her.
"How can there be a mother-in-law like you in this world? Your daughter-in-law married into your home, took care of her husband and family, and gave birth to children for the family. Not only does she not receive kindness for her contributions, but she is also abused by a wicked mother-in-law like you because she is sick. Truly, a heart of sincerity fed to dogs."
His words were merciless, and he scolded the old woman until she lost all face.
Little Yihao, who had witnessed his mother's surgical difficulties, understood that the lady's life had indeed been snatched back from the brink of death by his mother. The old woman's ingratitude was truly disheartening.
Thinking of this, he actually approached the old woman with the tumor in his hand.
"Do you know that while Mother was doing her best to save her inside, the lady was still in danger? But it is precisely because she herself has a strong will to survive that she was saved. If she had truly heard those words just now, she would not wish to go to the underworld, but would come to claim your life first."
These words made the old woman tremble. Seeing the bloody object in his hand, she immediately collapsed onto the ground.
Those who had been complaining with her seemed to be startled as well and no longer looked in their direction.
Before long, Gu Qianying finally finished the surgery. She covered the pregnant woman with her clothes and then inserted silver needles into the woman's acupoints to alleviate her pain when she woke up later.
After doing this, she traced the woman's acupoints with her finger, releasing her from the anesthetic.
Su Cheng, who had been waiting outside, heard the sounds from inside and finally opened his eyes. At this moment, Gu Qianying also came out, supporting the woman.
Although the woman's post-operative pain had been relieved by the acupuncture, her complexion was still a little pale.
Seeing his wife standing unharmed, the man quickly stepped forward to help her to a seat.
Su Cheng and the others finally put on their clothes. Because they had been standing for two consecutive hours, their bodies had become stiff. Apart from Duan Xifeng, who still had some inner wear on and could stand, the others, without putting on their outer garments, sat straight on the ground.
Gu Qianying quickly stepped forward to help them relax their nerves, and then slowly walked to the front of everyone.
"During this period, although the lady was pregnant, she was thin. It seemed that the child in her womb was absorbing nutrients, but in reality, it was this tumor causing trouble."
"As it gradually grew, the lady's body would become weaker and weaker. Although her belly grew larger, her internal organs were affected. The terrifying aspect of this thing is that ordinary medical methods cannot completely cure this condition; only abdominal surgery can thoroughly cure this illness."
As she explained, everyone understood the cause of the illness and naturally realized that they had indeed misunderstood her judgment.
Thinking that she had almost lost her life, the unmarried lady, supported by her husband, walked up to Gu Qianying.
"Thank you, divine physician, for saving me. If not for your accurate diagnosis, I am afraid I would have lost my life due to this condition."
After speaking, she bowed, ready to kneel and thank her savior.
"Get up quickly. It is the doctor's duty to see your illness and happen to have the method to treat it, so I naturally wouldn't ignore it. These are things that should be done."
Gu Qianying said as she helped the woman up.
"Female Grand Physician arrives." The voice of the female official attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, a woman in official attire walked towards Gu Qianying.
"Your medical skills are truly excellent. Congratulations, you have won this competition."
Hearing the congratulations from Han Da Yi herself, those around cast envious glances.
It should be known that Han Da Yi's name was Han Xintong, the eldest daughter of the richest man in the capital, the Han family, and concurrently the head of the Imperial Hospital.
To gain her recognition was the highest honor for a physician's position.
Upon learning that Gu Qianying had won the second match, Duan Xifeng and Xiao Yihao happily high-fived each other in celebration.
After announcing the winner of this match, Han Da Yi left, followed by the judges and others.
At this point, only the contestants remained in the hall.
Thinking of Han Da Yi's praise for Gu Qianying just now, Su Yuxi could not help but feel envious, while the other two sisters also revealed jealous looks.
"Hmph, it's just winning one match. There are still many more matches to go, what's there to be proud of." The speaker was the garrulous Su Xiuer, but Gu Qianying could not understand where she had shown any pride.
"Oh? Then why is it that you can't win just one match?" Gu Qianying, exhausted both physically and mentally from the surgery, wanted to sit down and rest, but saw these people provoking her again.
She had already endured enough today. Since they wanted to engage in verbal sparring, she naturally couldn't let the three from the Su family off easily.
Seeing her sister lose face, Su Zirong also wanted to chime in.
"This is just your luck. It happened that the lady's illness was your specialty. If the illness diagnosed today was something our sisters were good at, then there would be no chance for you to show off here."
Seeing that these women were truly restless, Duan Xifeng walked in front of Gu Qianying, lifting the hem of her skirt.
