Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 753 - 589: Resolute

Everyone was taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Ah!" Mrs. Wang was shocked to see what had happened, her whole body frozen in disbelief.

They saw that Mrs. Li had slammed her head into the wall, and there were quite a few bloodstains splattered on it, showing how forceful the impact was.

Mrs. Li’s body slid down the wall limply and finally came to a complete stop.

Everyone was dumbfounded, not understanding why Mrs. Li, who had seemed fine just a moment ago, would choose to end her life.

Gu Chengyu quickly regained his composure, "Ming Mo! Hurry and fetch Doctor Li!"

"Fourth brother! Come take a look."

Gu Chengyu stepped forward briskly and took a look at the collapsed Mrs. Li.

Her eyes were tightly shut, and already a small blood pool had formed on the ground.

Gu Chengyu, without concern for propriety between men and women, hurriedly pretended to pull out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, which was actually from his spatial space.

He poured out a blood-red pill and placed it in Mrs. Li’s mouth.

This was a Life-extending Pill, which was originally from the space, but there were only two bottles.

The ingredients for this pill were extremely rare, using not just ginseng and Purple Ganoderma, but also low-level spiritual grass from the space.

However, Mrs. Li was losing blood too quickly, her scalp a bloody mess, with a huge gash ripped open.

Gu Chengyu thought that even in modern times, a slight delay would mean the person couldn’t be saved, let alone in ancient times.

He was not skilled in modern medical techniques and couldn’t perform surgery; he had to rely on the hemostatic powder he made in his space to stop the bleeding.

The Life-extending Pill wasn’t a cure-all; Mrs. Li’s chances of survival were slim.

Gu Chengchi also returned to his senses from the shock. He stepped forward, looked at the wound, and frowned deeply.

"The wound is too deep, I’m not confident; let’s wait for the master to arrive."

He was uncertain about handling such a large hole and could only try a couple of acupuncture points. But the wound was too significant, making him hesitant to proceed.

Moreover, he didn’t have the medical kit with him; it was left at the clinic.

The situation was urgent, so he could only press on the joint in front of the ear. There’s an acupoint there that can slow down the bleeding.

Gu Chengyu sprinkled the hemostatic powder on Mrs. Li’s head; the bleeding seemed to slow down a bit but didn’t stop immediately. It would need some time.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the bloodstained wall; Mrs. Li had run to the wall with determination to die.

"Oh dear! What’s going on?" Mr. Gu snapped back to reality from his astonishment and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate.

Seeing the pool of blood beneath Mrs. Li’s head, he shook his head and sighed repeatedly, "Alas! What a sin!"

"The blood’s flowing so fast, There’s no way to stop it! Though it seems a bit less than before."

Uncle Gu also realized the situation was dire. How much blood does a person have? If it couldn’t be stopped soon, it wouldn’t take long to bleed out completely.

In such matters, Mrs. Lv, being a woman, usually wouldn’t intervene, but at this moment she seemed calmer than the men.

"Quick! Dumb Granny! Go get some plant ash to stop the bleeding first."

Gu Chengyu knew that with such blood loss, even Doctor Li would be helpless, but they couldn’t just sit and wait for death!

Using plant ash to stop bleeding was a common practice for peasant families; it was effective if the wound wasn’t too large.

"Quick, cut some cloth strips to at least bandage the wound."

Gu Chengyu poured the remaining hemostatic powder from the porcelain bottle on Mrs. Li’s wound, noticing the bleeding slowed down even more than before.

It should stop soon; the question was whether Mrs. Li could hold on.

Dumb Granny hurriedly jogged to the kitchen just as Ming Mo carried Doctor Li over.

This time, Doctor Li didn’t waste words; he knew if Ming Mo brought him over, it wasn’t a minor issue.

Seeing so many people gathered together, Doctor Li quickly pushed through the crowd.

"Doctor Li is here, make way!" Ming Mo shouted from behind.

Doctor Li took one look at Mrs. Li’s condition and felt it was bad. With so much blood lost, she probably wouldn’t be saved.

"Uncle Li, please check, can she be saved?"

"Master, please take a look!" Gu Chengchi gave way upon seeing Doctor Li arrive.

Though he was aware in his heart that even if the master arrived, there might be nothing he could do.

Doctor Li didn’t respond but crouched down, and found a small cloth bag from his medicine box.

He pulled out a silver needle from it, turned Mrs. Li’s head slightly, and placed the needle at a spot in front of the ear.

However, Mrs. Li had lost too much blood, and this method was slow to show effect. But Doctor Li’s medical skills were unquestionably good.

Most doctors wouldn’t know this position, but Doctor Li not only knew it but also taught it to Gu Chengchi, showing he didn’t hold back knowledge.

After Gu Chengyu fed the medication, he pressed the same spot.

Pressing on that acupoint, combined with the hemostatic powder, was what slowed Mrs. Li’s bleeding.

Doctor Li then pulled out two more silver needles and inserted them at the acupoints on Mrs. Li’s ankle.

Gu Chengyu carefully observed Mrs. Li’s reaction and found that her eyes were tightly closed, and her breathing was noticeably weaker.

Doctor Li sighed, "Alas! Prepare for the funeral. It’s too late."

Everyone fell silent, regardless of whether Mrs. Li was the one who caused Gu Chengyi’s death.

Mrs. Li’s death left a shocking impression; she was a tragic woman.

Gu Chengyu knew that Mrs. Li’s suicide wasn’t entirely due to Gu Chengyi’s torment; there might be other reasons.

But now, none of that mattered. Death is like extinguishing a lamp; everything past and future will vanish like dust in the wind.

The second son smacked his lips, wanting to say something. But seeing the solemn expressions around him, he realized it wasn’t the time to speak, so he closed his mouth.

He hadn’t expected Mrs. Li to be so fierce-minded. Had she not confessed, the Gu Family wouldn’t have reported it to the authorities, nor misused torture.

Gu Chengyu didn’t respect his father, so why would he want to help his father vent his anger?

He himself was eager to gain scholarly honor and wouldn’t risk secretly dealing with Mrs. Li.

Otherwise, if it were discovered later, it would affect his career—a loss rather than a gain.

Besides, who could be sure it was Mrs. Li who did it? She truly was a foolish woman.

Mrs. Wang’s eyes filled with tears; she couldn’t believe her cousin was so resolute.

She had known earlier that her cousin had become involved with her own brother, Shunzi, because Shunzi had personally told her.

She hadn’t opposed her cousin’s involvement with her brother as she considered it blackmail material.

If her cousin didn’t side with her in the future, she could use this to blackmail her cousin.

After all, her brother wouldn’t be at a disadvantage, and she would benefit, so why not?

But now that Gu Chengyi was dead, she feared her cousin would cling to Shunzi, so she told her cousin about Shunzi’s upcoming marriage.

This was to prevent her cousin from thinking about Shunzi because, after all, Shunzi was still young and would eventually get engaged.

Shunzi could not marry a woman like her cousin; she had already heard from Gu Chengyi that her cousin could no longer bear children.
