I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

Chapter 206 - 206 Pre-surgery Preparation



206 Pre-surgery Preparation

“If the tools you need are ready, how much blood will be enough to ensure my daughter’s survival?”

A cold glint flashed in Duanmu Xize’s eyes. As long as he could save his daughter, he would do it no matter how many people’s blood he had to drain.

“Magistrate, the operation is to save people, not to harm them. Even if a large amount of blood is needed, there is no need to drain a person’s blood in exchange for a life.”

“If we can find a suitable blood donor, I only need ten strong men to provide 400 ml of blood each. I also need at least three people to be ready at any time.”

Mo Ruyue did some calculations in her heart and quickly came up with a number. This number included the amount of blood she expected to need in the case of massive bleeding.

“Just like this?”

Duanmu Xize was stunned for a moment. He had originally thought that he would really need to exchange a life for a life, and sacrifice a few lives to save his daughter.

It was good that no one died, but if it was necessary, he didn’t care how many people’s blood he had to drain. Keeping his daughter’s life was equivalent to stabilizing his official position, and for this, he would do it at all costs.

“That’s right, so please find a suitable craftsman to build the tools I need. Then I can find a suitable blood donor and perform the surgery for your daughter as soon as possible.”

“I have a craftsman in my mansion, but I don’t know if he can meet Lady Qin’s requirements. As for a healthy and strong blood source, I can also find one.”

Duanmu Xize had no lack of elite soldiers under his command, and no one was stronger than the soldiers he could mobilize.

Not to mention that Mo Ruyue only needed 13 people to meet the conditions, he could even transfer 130 or 1300 people. It was just that the more people there were, the bigger the commotion, and the greater the risk.

“Please do it as soon as possible, my Lord. It will take at least ten days to half a month to nurse your daughter back to health, but her current condition can’t wait any longer. If she can’t have the surgery in seven days, the tumor in her body will rupture at any time.”

“At that time, even a great overarching golden celestial would not be able to save her.”

Mo Ruyue once again emphasized the issue of time. After all, time waited for no one. If the operation could not be performed because of the delay from the Magistrate, she would definitely not take the blame.

“Lady Qin, I’ll send someone back and call the craftsmen in my mansion to do it according to your request. But how do you want to choose the blood donor?”

Duanmu Xize could only pin all his hopes on Mo Ruyue. He couldn’t afford to risk the consequences of the operation failing.

“Naturally, I’ll first confirm your daughter’s blood type, then screen for people who match her blood type and have healthy blood. So, if I need 13 people as donors, I’ll have to prepare at least 50 to 80 people.”

Duanmu Xize could completely understand Mo Ruyue’s words. A team of 80 people was not considered small. It seemed that he still needed to find a sufficiently secretive place and give a reasonable explanation for the whereabouts of these 80 people.

“Then let’s do it this way. This official will now prepare the manpower according to Lady Qin’s needs. These few days, please stay in this courtyard and take care of my daughter’s body.”

Since Mo Ruyue had already made her request and he was prepared to do as she said, it was now Duanmu Xize’s turn to make his request. Moreover, this request was reasonable and not overboard at all.

“Magistrate, let me remind you that only Huichun Hall in the county has a relatively complete operating room. With your daughter’s current condition, you have to plan how to finish the nearly 200-mile journey.”

Mo Ruyue’s words reminded Duanmu Xize. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Can’t we build another operating room here? Since the county’s Huichun Hall can do it, there’s no reason I can’t.”

“It’s possible, but Imperial Physician Tian spent nearly half of his fortune to prepare the operating room. All the surgical instruments were prepared in advance by the old man. Could it be that the prefect wants to ‘borrow’ it directly?”

Mo Ruyue’s question stumped Duanmu Xize.

“Then what’s Lady Qin’s suggestion?”

This was what he had planned in his heart. Moreover, he had borrowed the thing and it was uncertain when he would return it. But now that Mo Ruyue had exposed him, it was not good to continue with this plan.

“My suggestion is to stabilize your daughter’s body for the next two days, then leave for the county town. We’ll finish the journey in four days, and then use one day to adjust her condition. We must start the surgery on the eighth day at the latest.”

Mo Ruyue had already made a time plan in her heart. This was the conclusion she had come to after looking at Qing Xi’s physical condition.

Duanmu Xize also calculated in his heart before nodding. “Then do it according to Lady Qin’s request. No matter what, you must protect my daughter’s life. As long as you can do it, I will definitely return this favor in the future.”

When Mo Ruyue heard this, she sneered in her heart.

If she could save Qing Xi, it would be a life-saving grace. However, from the words of the Magistrate, it became an ordinary favor. As expected of someone who could do well in the officialdom. He finally understood what she meant.

However, she did not point it out. If she made good use of a favor, it would not be any worse than a “favor”. Besides, as long as her operation was successful, it would be an additional life-saving charm for the Magistrate. Who could guarantee that he would not fall ill or have a disaster in the future? She would not need to use her skills.

Duanmu Xize saw that Mo Ruyue’s expression was calm and composed, and he secretly nodded in his heart.

Although he had only been in contact with this woman for a short time, he had investigated her before and was familiar with her “great achievements”. He knew that she was definitely an intelligent woman and would not miss the meaning of his words.

However, she was still so indifferent. It was obvious that she was not someone who would lose her head because of a momentary gain or loss. She was indeed very much to his liking.

However, Duanmu Xize was not the stupid Magistrate of the county. He actually did not hesitate to frame her for the sake of obtaining this woman and even fought that extremely stupid lawsuit. What happened in the end? In the end, he was still slapped in the face by a commoner woman and almost exposed his past.

Besides, his first wife was not an easy person to get along with, especially her maternal family’s power. If he wanted to get this woman, he had to plan well and take a long time to do so.

Duanmu Xize carefully kept his thoughts. He didn’t want to startle Mo Ruyue in advance so that she would be on her guard. However, he would never have thought that Mo Ruyue had already seen through his thoughts from his eyes long before she went to examine Qing Xi.

Duanmu Xize quickly sent people to find the craftsmen in his residence. After looking at the sketch provided by Mo Ruyue, someone expressed that they could produce it, but it would take two days.
