"Xiu'er, shut up!" Gao Shan immediately stopped him, "Why do you have the right to interrupt when the master is talking? The bigger the situation, the less disciplined it is!"
Gao Shan's words seemed to be reprimanding Gao Xiu'er, but they seemed to slap the woman who just spoke in the face.
The woman's face suddenly changed, and when she was about to say something, Mrs. Qian Zhang stopped her and said, "Mother Wang, Bao'er's illness is more important. Madam Tong just wants to see the wet nurse, so what does it matter."
Although Qian Zhang is the master, she seems to be inexplicably afraid of Grandma Wang's identity. Her words are not commanding at all, but rather pleading.
Grandma Wang said solemnly: "The young master's wet nurse was chosen by the old lady herself. She is really selected from thousands of people. Is it possible that the old lady will harm the young master?"
Hearing this, Gao Xiuer couldn't help but want to speak again, but unexpectedly, a voice behind her preempted her and said: "No one said that your old lady would harm the children, so you don't have to be so anxious to confess.
"Whose child has not had a few illnesses from birth to adulthood? They are all taken care of by their own parents. Does it mean that someone is trying to harm the child if he gets an illness?"
As Jiang Songyuan spoke, he looked up at Grandma Wang, narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that you did something in private and you were afraid that people would find out, so you were so excited?"
As soon as she said this, Grandma Wang jumped up like a cat whose claws were stepped on, and said in a sharp voice: "You are talking nonsense!"
Grandma Wang is a person close to Mrs. Qian. She knows very well that as long as Qian Zhang can successfully give birth to the eldest son of the Qian family, the people around the young master will definitely rise with the tide, and their status in the Qian family will be the same as that of Mrs. Qian. Others are different.
So as soon as she learned that Qian Zhang was pregnant, she began to look for candidates among her relatives who were about the same stage of pregnancy.
Later, through his understanding of Mrs. Qian, he successfully turned one of the candidates into the young master's wet nurse.
However, she had kept this relationship very secret. Even Mrs. Qian didn't know that the wet nurse she had personally selected turned out to be a distant niece of Grandma Wang.
Grandma Wang knew very well how much the Yi Qian family valued this single seedling. As long as his illness had even the slightest connection with the wet nurse, or even just a possibility, the far away niece's job as the wet nurse would be over.
Although the Qian family has always been generous, and Mrs. Qian Zhang does not have the temperament to anger others, her distant niece might even receive a large severance package before she leaves, but such an ending is far from her plan.
So when she heard Shen Tianshu asking about the wet nurse, she couldn't hold back and said a few words that she shouldn't have said.
Fortunately, no one in the room thought too deeply. Gao Xiuer's words led everyone astray, making people think that she was questioning Lady Tong's ability.
This made Grandma Wang feel very relieved, and she became bolder when she spoke later. Unexpectedly, she was asked by such a person who didn't want to do it.
"Look, he's getting angry from embarrassment!" Jiang Songyuan said, spreading his hands.
At this time, everyone in the room focused their attention on Grandma Wang, with doubts and inquiries...
Even Ms. Zhang, who had been soft-spoken to her just now, hurriedly took two steps back to block the child, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly go crazy and hurt the child.
Grandma Wang was about to be furious. But before she could organize a rebuttal, she heard Jiang Songyuan say again: "You are so powerful that you can only go to a small medical clinic to show off, and you won't even look at it." Look where is this place?
"Ms. Tong is the doctor who treats Prince Rui, not a quack you can bully!"
Jiang Songyuan was not from a medical clinic, and he really admired Shen Tianshu's medical skills, so he spoke without mercy.
Gao Xiuer couldn't help but cast admiring glances at him. People who have read books are different. They can criticize others more happily than themselves.
Jiang Songyuan's words completely awakened Mrs. Qian Zhang, making her finally remember her purpose.
Saving her son was the most important thing. She didn't care that Aunt Wang was sent by her mother-in-law, and hurriedly ordered her personal maid: "Fangmei, go to the inn and call the wet nurse."
Fangmei responded and was about to go out when she was stopped by Shen Tianshu and said, "Wait a minute, actually, it doesn't matter if you don't see the wet nurse."
"Ms. Tong..." Mrs. Qian Zhang was startled. She thought Shen Tianshu was not going to treat the child anymore. He looked at her cautiously with pleading eyes, "Don't, don't be as knowledgeable as the servants. I'll take it with you." The child came from out of town just because I heard that you have excellent medical skills, and I definitely didn’t mean to distrust you."
"Seeing and treating a disease is a matter of mutual consent between the patient and the doctor, and I have no intention of forcing anyone."
Shen Tianshu was wearing a mask, so others couldn't see her expression, but listening to her cold voice, they couldn't help but wonder if she was angry.
“The problem of fecal matter in children is probably due to the fact that my wife drank too much bone broth and camel milk during her late pregnancy.
"Now the child's forehead is red and dark, which is due to the accumulation of dampness and turbid poison in the lower part of the bladder and intestines, which fumigates the lungs and heart; the red nose and scabs in the nostrils are due to the accumulation of dampness and turbidity, which is causing fire to harm the lungs and stomach.
"Dry lips and open mouth breathing correspond to excessive spleen fire and intestinal stagnation due to dampness. As for the yellowish and dark forehead and cheeks, it corresponds to turbid urine and short Qi transformation.
"So based on the condition of the child, I speculate that the current symptoms are caused by, first, the wife's improper diet during pregnancy, and second, because the child was not easy to come by and the appetite was very good, so the wet nurse was given excessive supplements at home. Too much dryness and nourishment will cause the milk to become thicker and stagnant, causing fire in the milk.
"Normal people may get sick if they don't eat properly, let alone such a young baby. How can it be unaffected by the wet nurse's milk every day?
“I originally wanted to meet the wet nurse and help her nurse herself back to health.
"Since Aunt Wang doesn't think it's necessary, I also feel like I'm a bit over the top. There's no need to force the wet nurse to come over for treatment when it can be solved by replacing her with a wet nurse, right?"
After saying this, Shen Tianshu ignored Grandma Wang, who was looking pale and pale, and turned to smile placatingly at Mrs. Qian Zhang and said, "Madam, don't worry too much. Although the child's condition is serious, it is not hopeless.
“I will prescribe medicine for the child first, take a few doses, and then come back for a follow-up consultation.
"But you can no longer take the milk from this wet nurse. You should hurry up and find a new wet nurse for your child. As long as you are healthy and have enough milk.
"Remember to avoid food that is stagnant, greasy, spicy, and eat less sour and cold fruits on an empty stomach. The diet should not be overly nutritious."
As soon as Grandma Wang heard this, her body immediately became half weak.
Mrs. Qian Zhang couldn't care about her. When she heard that the child could still be saved, she burst into tears. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, everything is according to Mrs. Tong. We will stay at the inn in the city and come back in a few days." Follow-up visits are also very convenient.”
