Chapter 26 Eating something bad

"Is Jun brother sick?"

Soon, Xu Shu and here also got the news.

Meixiang came in to tell him what happened. She frowned and nodded, "Yes, I happened to see him when the Third Young Master came back. He was called away first, and I just got the news. Madam, you should go and take a look too."

"He was fine when I went to see him in the morning. How come he is vomiting and having diarrhea now? Maybe he ate something bad?" Xu Shuhe said as he stood up.

Xinyue supported her and said, "I think the child is fine. He still has the strength to bite people today."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go and take a look." Xu Shuhe said.

The master and his two servants soon arrived at the front yard.

At this time, Chen Zhi was already in the room, but Zhang Ping was not there. He must have gone to ask for help from a doctor.

"How is the child?" Xu Shuhe walked into the room and asked softly.

Chen Zhi's face darkened. "He just vomited again. He doesn't look well."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe walked over to the bed and looked at the child. He saw that the child had an ugly face, his eyes were closed, and his cheeks were unnaturally red due to the fever. He indeed looked very uncomfortable.

"What did you eat today, brother? Is there something wrong with your diet?"

"Madam, what my brother ate today was no different from usual. For lunch, he had steamed egg custard, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and crystal shrimps. He also drank a few sips of Tremella soup. After waking up from a nap, he drank half a cup of milk. For snack in the afternoon, he ate a few pieces of mung bean cake and half an orange. Dinner is not ready yet."

Liu, the wet nurse who served the child, answered in detail.

That sounds fine.

"When did the boy become unwell?" Xu Shuhe asked again.

Liu thought for a moment, "My brother had a little diarrhea after lunch, but it was not a big deal, so I helped him drink some warm water and then took a nap. After he woke up, he didn't complain about feeling uncomfortable. But about half an hour after he finished his snack, he started to feel lazy and wanted to sleep. I thought he was tired from playing, so I let him sleep for another half an hour. But after he woke up, he started to vomit and have diarrhea."

"Did you leave any food behind?" Chen Zhi came over and asked.

Liu shook her head, "No, there was no such rule when I served my brother before."

Indeed, there is not much need for ordinary families to pay attention to when raising children.

"It looks like he ate something wrong. But when I came to see the child this morning, the servant said that Jun was clamoring to see his mother. He had been crying for several days and his body was damaged. He almost fainted today. Maybe he is sick." Xu Shuhe analyzed.

Chen Zhi nodded after hearing this, "Let's wait until the doctor comes to take a look before we talk."

No one knows how to diagnose a disease right now, so it’s all just guesswork.

However, the doctor has not arrived yet, but Feng and Chen Huaiqian came first.

"What happened to Jun? I heard people say that the child is not well after hiring a doctor."

As soon as she entered the house, Feng asked anxiously, her face full of concern, just like a good grandmother who loved her grandson.

Chen Huaiqian was calmer than she was. "Has the doctor examined it?"

"Zhang Ping has been asked to invite him. I believe the doctor will be here soon." Chen Zhi replied.

Feng had already walked to the bedside and reached out to touch Jun'er's forehead. "Ah, why is he still having a fever? Did he catch a cold? Is the wet nurse serving you attentive?"

Hearing this rebuke, the wet nurse Liu was so frightened that she knelt down quickly.

"Madam, you are wronged. I have never neglected my brother. He was fine this morning and at noon, but he started to become strange this afternoon. I don't know what's going on."

"Okay, let's wait for the doctor to come and see us first." Chen Huaiqian waved his hand.

Seeing this, Feng didn't say anything more.

Xu Shuhe stood aside, and thought that Feng was quite good at acting, showing so much concern for Chen Zhi's child. It was not easy for her to continue acting after being torn so hard a few days ago.

Chen Zhi obviously had a similar mentality as her. He silently took a step aside and stood side by side with Xu Shuhe, as if he was deliberately distancing himself from Chen Huaiqian and Feng.

Fortunately, Zhang Ping arrived with the doctor not long after.

The child's condition looked serious, so the doctor didn't dare to delay and immediately went forward to take the child's pulse.

"Doctor, how is the child?" Xu Shuhe asked.

The doctor withdrew his hand, frowning tightly, "This child must have eaten something unclean by mistake, not a cold. There must be some residue in the child's stomach. I have to induce vomiting in the child!"

"The child eats three meals a day at home, how could he accidentally eat something unclean?" Upon hearing this, Chen Zhi immediately stepped forward.

The wet nurse Liu also nodded hurriedly, "Yes, my brother's food is sent from the kitchen of the mansion, and it is always good. When making food for a child, one must be more careful, how dare I be careless."

Hearing this, the doctor became more serious.

"Based on the child's symptoms, he must have eaten something he shouldn't have, or it was spoiled food, or some medicine. If a child eats carelessly, it can be fatal. Now it looks like he has a fever, and it was discovered too late. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. All of you step aside. I'm going to induce vomiting in the child."

"Medicine is impossible. My brother didn't take any medicine!" Liu said hurriedly.

But the doctor didn't say any more to her and started to induce vomiting in the child.

Everyone hurried out.

"Master, in my opinion, it's because it's too hot today and some of the ingredients in the kitchen are not fresh enough. The cook couldn't bear to throw them away and cooked them anyway, which caused the child to fall ill. He's so careless and we should investigate it carefully!" Feng said with a worried look on her face.

What she said does make sense.

Especially after the children had eaten crystal shrimp and steamed egg custard for lunch, these high-protein foods have gone bad and are definitely not edible.

But Xu Shuhe always felt that although what Feng said made sense, she seemed to be too concerned about the child.

But it was too late for her to think about it, as Chen Huaiqian had already ordered someone to go to the kitchen to check.

Sure enough, when I came back I got the news that it was a problem with the shrimp.

The shrimps delivered today were not particularly fresh, but the cook thought that since they died that day, it would not be a big deal, so he cooked them for lunch and did not expect such a mistake to happen.

"You are so careless in doing things, you should be severely punished. How can you be so careless about something that goes into the master's mouth!" Feng scolded.

Chen Huaiqian also nodded, "Well, I'll leave this matter to you."

Feng's housekeeper was naturally handed over to her, but after Feng responded, she spoke softly.

"Sanlang, you and your wife are the same. You just throw the child to the servants to take care of. It is inevitable that the subordinates will think that Jun'er is not valued, so they will neglect him. Now this is a lesson. Although Chunliu has committed a crime, the child is innocent, right?"

Tsk, his mouth still smells like green tea, the only thing missing is that he openly says that the couple doesn't care about their children anymore.

Xu Shuhe said that Feng would never really be kind to Chen Zhi's child, and she was just showing her enthusiasm to make the couple look cold and indifferent.

Sure enough, Chen Huaiqian frowned after hearing this, "Third brother, this matter is indeed neglected by you and your wife. Jun'er is still young, how can you just leave it alone?"

"My son knows he was wrong. I will take good care of him in the future." Chen Zhi lowered his eyes.

Feng added, "You and your father are usually busy outside, so how can you have time to take care of the child? It's better for a woman to take care of the child in a more meticulous way."

While speaking, his eyes had already glanced at Xu Shuhe, but he changed the subject and spoke again.

"But I'm afraid the third son's wife won't be able to take care of the child, and Chunliu... why not send her to Wanshuangzhai and let me take care of her."
