"Is persistent diarrhea considered abnormal?"
"Of course!"
After seeing the condition of the Liang family's ewe and three horses, the doctor became more certain of his guess, "That makes it clear! These horses and sheep must have eaten a wild fruit called quail fruit by mistake."
The quail fruit is not uncommon in the mountains of Liangzhou. Because of its sweet and sour taste, many mountain villagers who lack food will pick it to eat or give it as a snack to their children. Mountain villagers lack meat, so unless their stomachs are too weak, eating the quail fruit alone will not cause any abnormalities.
But the problem is that the young master of the Liang family is not a mountain dweller who lacks meat and fish...
In just half a day, he consumed a lot of goat's milk and chicken.
It is best not to eat the quail fruit with these things. The symptoms after accidental ingestion will be rapid breathing and red rashes all over the body like the young master of the Liang family.
Mrs. Liang's face became even gloomier as she heard this. This matter was most likely related to the Feng family. If the crisis facing her youngest son had not been completely resolved, she would have wanted to skin all those damned Feng family members alive.
Restraining her anger, Mrs. Liang politely asked the doctor, "In your opinion, how can I cure the poison in my son?"
If the poison was treated by doctors in the capital who specialized in treating the wealthy, they might not be able to cure it. However, the doctors in the town's clinic usually treated the nearby mountain people and had seen children who suffered from diarrhea after accidentally eating the guava fruit.
Although the Liang family's young master's symptoms are more serious, the diagnosis and treatment methods are the same.
"This poison is actually not difficult to cure. Just drink a few doses of heat-clearing and detoxifying soups. But the most important thing is not the soups, but the conditioning. For the next half month, the young master needs to eat a light diet and avoid meat. As long as you can do this, you will recover slowly."
After a pause, the doctor added in a low voice, "It's best to rest quietly. Let the young master rest for a day or two before enduring the bumpy journey."
Mrs. Liang took careful notes, paid the consultation fee, and politely sent the doctor away.
When he came, he was brought by servants on horseback, but when he left, the doctor had to walk back to the town on foot.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the town, and with the silver ingots given by the Liang family, the doctor returned with a full load.
After sending the doctor away and asking Lord Liang to negotiate with Officer Jie about going to the county town to get medicine and stay there, Mrs. Liang finally freed up her hands and turned her spearhead towards the Feng family.
He walked over aggressively with a group of servants.
Seeing Madam Liang's murderous aura and poisonous eyes, Old Lady Feng shuddered subconsciously.
She had just been interrogated and scolded by her son for a long time and knew the pros and cons.
Even if he hated the Liang family to death, in order to save the lives of his own family members, he could only do as his son said and refuse to admit what he had done!
But before Old Lady Feng could open her mouth to defend herself, Madam Liang waved her hand and ordered the servants beside her to arrest her grandson.
Soon after, the Liang family maid came closer carrying the pot of goat milk porridge.
Madam Liang ordered in a cold voice: "Give him this porridge!"
Old Mrs. Feng's eyes widened and she quickly got up, but Lord Feng beside her grabbed her and signaled her with his eyes to shut her mouth.
Two servants of the Liang family immediately pinned down the little grandson of the Liang family and pried his mouth open.
The maid stepped forward and poured all the remaining goat milk porridge in the pot into the mouth of Feng's little grandson.
The goat milk porridge is sweet and not difficult to drink even when it is cold, but it is not pleasant to have it forced into your mouth like this. The little grandson of the Feng family almost choked on the porridge and coughed several times before he recovered.
The Feng family children standing by were already dumbfounded.
They didn't understand why grandma had spilled the goat milk porridge earlier, and they didn't understand why Madam Liang had the servants hold down the younger brother and force the goat milk porridge into his mouth.
They were just frightened by the Liang family's behavior. Even if no one was holding them down, they just stood there obediently and dared not move.
Seeing that the entire pot of porridge was poured into the mouth of Feng family's little grandson without a drop left, Mrs. Liang asked the servants to let the man go.
By this time, Mrs. Feng's legs had already gone weak and her body was shaking uncontrollably. If Lord Feng had not held her arms tightly, she would have fallen to the ground.
"What does Madam Liang mean?" Lord Feng's face showed confusion, and just the right amount of anger.
"Although my nephew is a bit unruly, he has never offended Madam Liang, right?"
"Oh, it's just a bowl of goat milk porridge for him, why should Lord Feng be so nervous?" Madam Liang sneered and pointed at the empty pot, "Didn't your kid want to drink it before?"
"Mrs. Liang, if you have anything to say, please speak up." Lord Feng said solemnly, "Everyone has just seen what happened to your young master, and I have also heard a little about the doctor's diagnosis. Did Mrs. Liang suspect our Feng family because of the problem with the goat's milk?"
Mrs. Liang cast a cold gaze on Lord Feng's face.
Lord Feng continued to explain slowly, "I admit that I have some complaints about what happened in Yueheng Mountain. But I also know that your family is not to blame for this. We can only blame those vicious mountain bandits. If Madam Liang suspects that we have developed a vengeful heart and attacked your young master because of this, then we are really wronged!"
Wei Yunlan watched this scene coldly and couldn't help but sigh that this Lord Feng really had a big heart and a great mouth.
I'm afraid that even the owner of the Huangli troupe in Beijing can't act as well as he does!
Mrs. Liang, who was originally furious, had her anger extinguished a little after hearing a few words from Lord Feng, and was replaced by a hint of suspicion.
"Mrs. Liang, you can have someone investigate. Although my mother spilled the goat milk porridge today, she also gave the children boiled goat milk yesterday. If you pin the crime of poisoning goat milk on our Feng family just because my mother accidentally spilled a pot of goat milk porridge today, it would be unfair."
At this point, Lord Feng changed the subject and said, "Besides, our Feng family does not raise livestock, and has never been close to your horses or sheep. If someone really wants to poison the young master of the Liang family, and Madam Liang points the finger at us, wouldn't that mean she is letting the real culprit go, giving the other party more opportunities to take advantage of her?"
What a good trick to divert trouble!
It was obvious that only two families in the team had been to the stable yesterday, the Liang family and the Wei family.
Unexpectedly, at this point, Lord Feng still wanted to put the blame on their Wei family.
If I hadn't been on guard yesterday, I would have been caught off guard and this guy would have succeeded today!
Seeing Madam Liang's eyes glancing towards her family, Wei Yunlan stepped forward and said, "Ningshuang, go get the herbs that Madam Feng sent yesterday."
"You personally delivered this herb yesterday, right?"
Old Mrs. Feng watched vigilantly as Wei Yunlan took the bamboo basket and walked towards her step by step. She lowered her head and saw that the basket was full of two kinds of medicinal herbs. They were exactly the ones she had exchanged for goat's milk yesterday!
The vigilance in Mrs. Feng's eyes instantly turned into fear and confusion.
Hasn't this herb been fed to mules a long time ago?
