Chapter 176 Surgery in the Space

Chapter 176: Space Surgery

The wound on his wrist was long and had already reached the bone. Fortunately, the main artery was not severed, only the tendons were injured.

Ji Yuntang immediately administered anesthesia to Chai Minghao, then quickly performed a debridement surgery. After cleaning the wound, she swiftly stopped the bleeding and finally sutured it with a needle and thread.

The surgery took a total of three hours.

After the wound was sutured, Ji Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Chai Minghao's sleeping face and thought she might take this opportunity to also perform an electrocardiogram, EEG, and chromosomal genetic test on him.

She acted immediately, and soon the test results were out.

The report showed that Chai Minghao had severe brain damage.

The root cause was that he was a premature baby.

Madam Chai had given birth to Chai Minghao when she was seven months pregnant, causing the baby's brain to be underdeveloped, which led to his current autism.

Ji Yuntang also discovered that Chai Minghao's genes were somewhat abnormal compared to normal people.

She looked at it for a while, and suddenly a flash of insight struck her, and she spotted the clue.

"Could it be that Squire Chai and Madam Chai are in a consanguineous marriage?"

This realization made Ji Yuntang sigh with regret.

People in ancient times advocated marrying within the family. Most of the people they married were those with whom they had blood relations.

But what they didn't know was that children born from consanguineous marriages often had problems.

Either the baby was born with deformities, or the brain was underdeveloped, resulting in a child being mentally impaired.

Ji Yuntang felt that in the future, she needed to educate the ancient people about the dangers of consanguineous marriages, to spare more children from suffering.

After she finished the surgery, she moved Chai Minghao out of the space.

Hearing the door open, Madam Chai rushed over and asked anxiously.

"Princess Ye, how is my son?"

Ji Yuntang said calmly, "Madam Chai, Young Master Chai's life has been saved, but when he will wake up is still unknown. I'm afraid we can't continue the consultation today."

After speaking, she glanced at the books on the table and kindly added a reminder.

"Young Master Chai's attempt to cut his wrist today was no accident. For the young master's safety, I suggest Squire Chai and Madam Chai investigate this matter thoroughly."

Following Ji Yuntang's gaze, the couple also saw the books on the table. Chai Rufeng immediately became furious.

"Who put these books in Hao'er's room?"

As everyone knew, Chai Minghao had a great fear of books.

Ever since the last medical competition, when Ji Yuntang pointed out that Chai Minghao could not look at books, Madam Chai had immediately returned home and ordered all the books in the house to be collected, for fear that he would see them and trigger his condition.

But now, there were two books clearly placed on the table.

Wasn't this someone deliberately trying to harm him?

The two servants attending to Chai Minghao knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Speak quickly, where did these two books come from?"

Chai Rufeng was furious. His fingers gripped the books with force, as if he wanted to crush them.

One of the servants, pale with fear, stammered, "Master, please calm down. This servant truly doesn't know. Young Master has not come out all day. He Da and I were guarding the door as usual, and we don't know where the books came from!"

He Da also said, "Yes, even if I had a hundred times the nerve, I wouldn't dare to bring books for Young Master to see!"

Seeing that their reactions seemed genuine, Ji Yuntang raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked, "Think carefully. Has anyone come to Young Master Chai's room today?"

Ji Yuntang's words reminded He Da. A flash of inspiration hit him, and he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"This servant remembers. This morning, the Second Young Master came to Young Master's room. He said he had recently obtained a new Luban lock outside and wanted to give it to Young Master to play with. Seeing that he really had an exquisite Luban lock in his hand, I let him in."

"Second Young Master stayed in Young Master's room for less than fifteen minutes before leaving. We two servants didn't think much of it at all."

The Second Young Master he referred to was the flamboyant man in pink clothes that Ji Yuntang had seen outside the Chai Mansion, Chai Jingxuan.

He was the son of the second branch, Chai Ruyu, and ranked second in the family. He spent his days indulging in pleasure, neglecting his studies, and was fond of doing useless things like cricket fighting and bird keeping.

In this regard, Chai Rufeng and Madam Chai had turned a blind eye.

As long as he didn't provoke them, they could pretend not to see it.

Unexpectedly, Chai Jingxuan would give books to Chai Minghao.

"You're saying that Chai Jingxuan brought these books to Hao'er?"

Madam Chai was horrified and staggered.

The entire household knew that Chai Minghao could not look at books, yet the second branch deliberately gave him books. What did this mean?

This meant that the second branch was intentionally trying to harm the main branch.

"Husband, because of these two books, Hao'er almost lost his life. Today, no matter what, I must seek an explanation from the second branch. I want to go and ask them what they meant by it!"

Madam Chai's eyes were blazing with fury, and Chai Rufeng was also shaking with rage.

Chai Minghao was his greatest weakness, and he would never allow anyone to harm his son.

The couple were of one mind. They immediately agreed and marched with their servants toward the second branch's courtyard.

Ji Yuntang thought for a moment. Since Chai Minghao was her patient, she decided to follow along.

Before they even got close, a loud, cursing voice rang out.

"What the hell is Princess Ye? That Prince Ye is already half-dead, lying in bed. He might even be about to die. What right does she have to call herself Princess Ye? How dare she use imperial power to oppress me!"

"Father, Mother, you must find a way to vindicate me! My leg can't be broken in vain!"

Chai Ruyu's face was livid with rage. "Report to the authorities, we must report to the authorities! I want the people of the Dongchen Kingdom to see Princess Ye's arrogant behavior!"

"She dared to injure my son and my wife! I'll make her pay with her life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice rang out from the entrance of the second branch's courtyard.

"Second brother, that's exactly what I, as the head of the family, intend to do."

Both Chai Ruyu and Tian Shi's faces lit up with joy.

They turned around and saw Chai Rufeng and Madam Chai storming in.

Chai Ruyu and Tian Shi, thinking that Chai Rufeng and Madam Chai had come to seek justice for them, looked at them with surprise and delight.

"Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, do you also agree that we should report this to the authorities?"

"Princess Ye injured my son's leg and beat my face to this state. This matter cannot be easily let go. Even if she is a princess, our Chai family is mighty and powerful, and we are not afraid of her. I want her to kneel at the Chai family's gate to apologize and make amends to me and my son!"

After Tian Shi finished her tirade, Madam Chai sneered and said through gritted teeth, "You are right. It is your son who should apologize and make amends to my son!"
