Chapter 753 Who is it aimed at?
After smelling Qiao Qinghe, Lian Qiao smelled everyone else in the room one by one, and finally her gaze fell on the wet nurse, Wang Shi.
"The root of the problem lies with her and the old lady."
Before Qiao Qinghe could react, the wet nurse, terrified and furious, vehemently denied it, saying, "You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
"I've been breastfeeding the young prince since he was born! How could I possibly harm him?"
At this point, as if she had just remembered something, she pointed at Qiao Qinghe and shouted, "It was the old lady! It must have been the old lady who made you slander me, right?"
"You were sent by the old lady. It must be the old lady who sent you to slander me, right?"
"If you get rid of me, the old lady can find someone of her own to be the young master's wet nurse!"
"That must be it!"
The wet nurse became more and more agitated as she spoke, and finally rushed to Su Rongrong's feet, knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Madam! Did you see that? The old lady has ulterior motives!"
"Madam, please wake up! Quickly recognize whether the person in front of you is a human or a ghost!"
"Madam, my loyalty is entirely for your and the young master's sake! You must believe me!"
The wet nurse was in tears, displaying a sincere demeanor of loyalty and unwavering devotion to her master.
But Su Rongrong kept a cold face, frowned, and took two steps back to avoid the wet nurse's attempt to hug her leg.
"Lian Qiao hasn't finished speaking yet, and you're already so quick to try and clear your name?"
Su Rongrong looked at the wet nurse suspiciously, "What are you feeling guilty about?"
The wet nurse was taken aback. "I...I didn't!"
Su Rongrong said coldly, "We didn't hold it against you for questioning the old lady before, thinking that you were wholeheartedly thinking about the young master."
"But now, before the doctor has even finished speaking, you're already rushing to clear yourself again and shift the blame onto the old lady."
"What? Do you think I look like a fool?"
The wet nurse turned pale, and large tears streamed down her face.
Su Rongrong didn't even glance at her, turning to Lian Qiao instead, "You continue."
Lian Qiao nodded and quickly told everyone about her discovery.
The baby's incessant crying is a complex issue, but in short, it's because the wet nurse took a lot of tonics and supplements to increase milk production.
Some of the tonics interacted with each other and entered the child's body through breast milk, affecting the child's senses.
As for why the child stopped crying when he was in the old lady's arms, it was because the old lady's recent diet contained calming and soothing medicinal ingredients, which made the child feel comfortable and relieved his restlessness.
"So, the problem lies in the wet nurse's and my diet?" Qiao Qinghe grasped the key point.
Lian Qiao nodded with great certainty: "They are all tonics, which are good for the body, and there is nothing wrong with them on their own."
"But when both are applied to the young prince at the same time, problems become apparent."
By the end, Lian Qiao's eyes were filled with admiration, "This person is definitely no less skilled in medicine than my master!"
"His expertise in the properties, efficacy, dosage, combination, and use of various medicinal materials has reached a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
"I really want to have a proper discussion with this person if I have the chance..."
Lianqiao's eyes were filled with anticipation, but the topic had already veered off to Java.
Forsythia!
Shui Su knew this was an old problem of hers and got annoyed, so she quickly shouted to stop her.
She is usually timid and not good at socializing, but when it comes to her expertise in medicine and poisons, she becomes a completely different person, her mind and eyes are full of research, learning, seeking advice and improving her skills, and she ignores everything else.
Lianqiao snapped back to her senses, glanced timidly at Shuisu, and then cautiously shrank behind Shuisu.
Qiao Qinghe didn't think anything of it; people like Lian Qiao are often the most likely to achieve success in a specialized field.
Now that we've found the reason for the child's crying, is there a solution?
Qiao Qinghe looked at Lian Qiao expectantly.
Lianqiao poked half her head out from behind Shuisu and said timidly, "Just don't eat those things from now on."
"That's not right either. It's not that those things can't be eaten, it's just that they can't be eaten in the exact proportions they used to be."
Do you understand what I mean?
Lianqiao was somewhat troubled, unsure how to explain.
Finally, he said helplessly, "Let's find out which food combinations caused the problem first, and then avoid eating them in the future."
"Let it rest for half a month, until the residue in the young prince's body is completely expelled."
Su Rongrong was shocked. "It'll take another half a month?"
Won't this little thing cry and fuss for another half month?
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Lian Qiao muttered to herself, "The old lady is the antidote. Wouldn't it be better to let the young master stay by the old lady's side for half a month?"
Su Rongrong was overjoyed and looked at Qiao Qinghe with anticipation.
Qiao Qinghe glared at her, annoyed. "Alright, once you've dealt with it, tell Marquis Enping that you can take the child back and stay for half a month."
Su Rongrong was immediately delighted, and her voice rose several decibels.
She replied cheerfully, "Okay! I'll tell Brother Yan when he gets back!"
Su Rongrong smiled helplessly, then quickly composed herself and turned to look at her wet nurse, Wang, who had already collapsed to the ground.
"The problem has been found. Take the wet nurse away for a thorough interrogation."
"As for me..."
She looked at A Shuang.
Ah Shuang quickly replied, "I'll go back and report this to the First Madam, and have her arrest and interrogate all the cooks in the mansion's large and small kitchens."
Qiao Qinghe nodded: "The procurement of supplies in the manor should also be brought under control."
"Yes." Ah Shuang hurriedly went out.
Su Rongrong hurriedly ordered people to take the wet nurse away for questioning, and also ordered the procurement staff in the mansion to be taken into custody.
If there's a problem with the food, besides the chef being at fault, the most likely culprit is the procurement department.
Shui Su interjected, "Madam, let us go with you. We know about medicinal herbs and ingredients; perhaps we can find the problem more quickly."
Qiao Qinghe nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."
So Shui Su led her three junior brothers and sisters in two groups to help the Qiao family and the Enping Marquis's family investigate the cause of the disaster.
Yan Jin returned at this time.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the steward came up to them and told them what had happened inside.
Yan Jin's already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.
He waved the butler away and hurried into the backyard.
"My lord, you're back?"
Su Rongrong watched the person enter with delight, then pulled them towards Qiao Qinghe, who was holding Xu Ge'er.
Yan Jin shook his head at her and stood still.
He then greeted Qiao Qinghe from a distance, saying, "Please wait a moment, Madam. I'll go change my clothes and come back later."
Qiao Qinghe nodded, "Go ahead."
Coming back from outside looking travel-worn isn't good for the child.
You really should change your clothes.
When Yan Jin returned after changing into some casual clothes, the group reiterated the child's problem.
Yan Jin remained silent for a long time before rising and bowing deeply to Qiao Qinghe, saying, "Thank you, Madam!"
Qiao Qinghe waved her hand, "Speaking of which, this matter is still directed at me."
Yan Jin shook his head and said with absolute certainty, "They're here for me."
