The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies! Chapter 46: How Did He Fall?

Jiang Hua asked Xu Zhizhong, "What did the doctor say?"

Xu Zhizhong lowered his head, "The doctor said there’s so internal injury, and a leg is broken. The broken place isn’t good; it’s at the thigh root. Although it’s been set, it will likely be crippled in the future."

Yun Jiao looked serious. If it’s at the thigh root, that’s indeed a bad place to break.

Even in modern tis, breaking a bone there makes it difficult to set in a cast; it requires surgery, with steel pins to fix the bone. Once the bone heals, they are removed.

With the current dical conditions, it’s impossible to use steel pins, and bones easily get displaced, so the likelihood of a crippled leg is very high.

Xu Zhizhong continued, "It’s not just the leg injury. Falling from such a height, the internal organs are surely injured. As for the head, Doctor Li said Youzhi is in a coma, possibly having a head injury too."

Mrs. Chen looked expectantly at Xu Zhizhong, Jiang Hua urgently asked, "What happens if the head is injured?"

Xu Zhizhong glanced at Mrs. Chen, sighed, "Doctor Li said if the head is injured, it’s hard to say what will happen. There’s a chance of becoming foolish later on."

Mrs. Chen swayed twice, almost fainting, and Yun Jiao supported her.

After speaking, Xu Zhizhong added, "I stayed with Brother Jiang all night and I’m exhausted. Since Aunt is here, I’ll head back to rest."

Jiang Hua held him back, "Don’t be in a rush to leave. We still don’t know how exactly my family’s Sanlang fell. You owe us an explanation."

Xu Zhizhong frowned slightly, "This really isn’t my business. It was Brother Zheng who passed the exam and invited the academy’s teacher and a few classmates, including , to the Drunken Immortal Inn for a feast."

"Youzhi was perhaps frustrated about not passing the exam and drank a bit too much, went out to relieve himself, and then fell from the railing when he returned."

Jiang Hua still held on to him, "So you’re saying, my family’s Sanlang falling like this has sothing to do with that Zheng, and all of you who drank together are also responsible!"

Xu Zhizhong pulled back his clothes from Jiang Hua’s grasp and said angrily, "You’re being unreasonable. Youzhi fell on his own. What’s it got to do with others?"

"Alright, I won’t argue with you anymore. I’ll visit Brother Jiang another day." With that, he walked out quickly.

Jiang Hua wanted to grab him again but hesitated, as Xu Zhizhong was a scholar with a degree, and he didn’t dare offend him.

While he hesitated, Xu Zhizhong had already walked far away.

A clerk ca in, "Are you Jiang Scholar’s family? Please settle the bone-setting and consultation fees first."

Mrs. Chen was still in a daze, "How much silver?"

The clerk replied, "Two taels."

Handing over a prescription, Yun Jiao took it, and the clerk said, "The clinic doesn’t sell dicine. You need to go to the Wang Family Pharmacy to get it."

Jiang Hua frowned, "The dicine hasn’t been used yet, and you’re asking for two taels of silver?"

The clerk smiled faintly, "Too expensive? Bone setting isn’t sothing just any doctor can do. Charging only two taels is considering Jiang Scholar is a learned person."

He added, "Wait until you buy the dicine. Then you’ll see that two taels of silver is actually cheap."

Mrs. Chen had only a bit over one tael of silver on her, which was given to her by Yun Jiao earlier.

She clutched her chest tightly and said with difficulty, "I ca in a hurry and didn’t bring that much silver. Why don’t I let soone from ho go and fetch it?"

The clerk nodded, "Alright, but let remind you, quickly get the silver and buy the dicine for the patient."

"He can’t afford any delay with this injury."
