Chapter 548: Chapter 550: Treating the Children of the Jiang Family

Lady Jiang reached out to take the child. "This little one has not been nursing these past few days, continually spitting up, and crying incessantly at night. Please, Doctor Shao, take a look at him."

"Mm." Shao He nodded, reached out to take the pulse, and then asked the little one to open his mouth to check his tongue coating.

A moment later, with a slight frown and a heavy expression, he said, "Lady Jiang, your son has a weak constitution and poor digestion. If he is to consume breast milk, then the adults must pay extra attention to their diet; if it’s goat milk, be sure it’s not too cold before administering it to him."

Upon hearing this, Lady Jiang immediately asked anxiously, "What should be done then? Doctor Shao, your medical skills are excellent, please save the child!"

Shao He pondered for a moment before saying, "The child is too young, the medication must be gentle, and he needs to be slowly nursed back to health."

"But he refuses to nurse right now! What should we do?" Lady Jiang was worried that his body couldn’t endure this.

Shao He inquired, "Is the young master being fed breast milk or goat milk?"

"Breast milk."

"Would you trouble Lady Jiang to bring the wet nurse here?" Shao He could only determine the reason the young master was not nursing after seeing the wet nurse.

"Um, Doctor Shao, please wait a moment," said Lady Jiang as she gestured with her eyes for the maid to call the wet nurse over.

Shortly after, the maid brought in a woman who looked to be in her forties.

"This servant greets the lady."

"Mm, just answer whatever Doctor Shao asks you truthfully," she instructed.

"Yes." The wet nurse looked towards Shao He, with a somewhat evasive gaze.

Shao He stood up and walked around her, then asked, "How long has the young master refused to nurse?"

"Just these, these past few days," the wet nurse answered hesitantly.

"What has your diet been like recently?"

"It has been good."

Upon hearing this, Shao He’s eyebrows raised, "What exactly have you eaten?"

Feeling a jolt of panic, the wet nurse bit her lip and said, "It was all regular food."

Shao He sneered, "Then why does the young master refuse to nurse from you?"

The wet nurse lowered her head with clenched fists, her face turned deathly pale. She hadn’t expected such a secretive matter would be discovered.

But given the situation, she could not admit it no matter what.

"I didn’t, you’re talking nonsense! What proof do you have that I ate those things? It’s clearly because your medical skills are lacking and you can’t diagnose the young master’s illness, so you want to blame everything on me," the wet nurse yelled.

Facing her accusation, Shao He simply pursed his lips and nodded, "If Lady Jiang does not believe it, she may well find another wet nurse to try."

"If the young master nurses from another wet nurse, that would prove I am right; if he does not, then it proves I am wrong."

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse’s legs gave out, and she knelt down, "Lady, this servant, this servant didn’t mean to do it."

She had simply given in to her cravings, eating some things she shouldn’t have a few days before. She had thought it wouldn’t matter, but then the young master started feeling unwell.

Because she was scared, she didn’t tell the truth, hoping that the young master would get better after a few days. To her dismay, his condition had only worsened.

Hearing this, Lady Jiang exploded with rage, and her palm struck the table, "You wretched slave, you dare conceal such a grave matter. Are you trying to kill the young master?"

"No, not at all, how could this servant harbor such thoughts? I was just scared and chose to hide the truth. Please, Lady Jiang, give me another chance," the wet nurse pleaded, knocking her head on the floor.

"Take her away, beat her to death," came a loud voice.

Shao He turned around to see the person approaching, and Qingxia whispered a reminder, "That’s Master Jiang."

"Mm, I know," Shao He responded in a low voice.

Father Jiang took his seat of honor and stared at the wet nurse with a fierce gaze, commanding sternly, "You wretch dare to plot against my son. Guards, drag her away and beat her to death."

"Please don’t... Master, spare my life... Lady Jiang, spare my life... I beg you, spare this servant, I will never dare again..."

"Lady Jiang, spare my life, please let me go, I swear I won’t dare again..."

"Lady... I won’t dare again... Please..."

Lady Jiang scoffed disdainfully, casting a scornful glance at the person wailing and begging on the ground.

"Take her away!" Lady Jiang commanded with disgust.

Two robust nannies immediately dragged the wet nurse up from the ground and headed for the door.

"Lady Jiang, spare my life... spare me, Lady Jiang... I truly realize my error..."

"Someone, gag her and take her out to be beaten to death!"

"Yes."

Then, the two nannies, supporting the crying and begging wet nurse, left the room, and peace was restored.

Master Jiang looked up at Shao He, bowed with cupped hands, and said, "We owe a great debt to Doctor Shao for diagnosing my son today, and I shall not forget this kindness. I shall host a banquet in Doctor Shao’s honor today."

Shao He nodded and replied, "There is no need for such formality, Master Jiang."

"Doctor Shao, please take a seat."

Shao He sat down as told, "I have already taken the young master’s pulse. He is merely delicate and has some stomach discomfort. I will prescribe a gentle medication, and he will recover after a few days of nursing."

"Thank you," Lady Jiang sighed in relief.

Shao He nodded slightly and was about to get up to leave when Father Jiang said, "Doctor Shao, please stay a moment."
