Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu
Chapter 031 Lotus Seed Candy
As soon as Liu Wenying entered the room, she knew something was wrong!
The little master's face, which was just fair and tender a moment ago, is now flushed red and purple.
Its big, dark eyes were wide open, and its little mouth was agape, but it couldn't utter a coherent cry, only labored gasps.
He choked!
Wen Jingshu was completely disoriented. She hugged her child tightly, tears streaming down her face, crying, "Ye'er! My Ye'er!"
She patted the child's back in vain, without any method, and seeing the child's face becoming more and more frightening, Wen Jingshu almost fainted.
The frail-looking Lin Zhiyao clutched her chest in fright, "W-what happened?"
When Madam Pei saw that Ye'er's lips were starting to turn purple, she was furious and pointed at Madam Liang, scolding her.
"My grandson was perfectly fine just now, how did he become like this in your hands? If anything happens to Ye-ge'er, I'll risk my life to fight you!"
The family members brought by Liang were all cowering and dared not speak.
Startled by the furious roar, she staggered, her face drained of color, and she waved her hands frantically.
"No, I didn't do anything! Maybe Ye-ge'er caught a chill, or maybe he ate something bad earlier. How can you blame it all on me?"
"You're lying!" Madam Pei was so angry that she trembled all over. If she hadn't been held back by the nanny, she would have almost lunged at him.
"My grandson has always been healthy and has never had such a sudden illness before. It's clearly your carelessness and lack of awareness of the seriousness of the situation! Where is the family physician? Why hasn't the family physician arrived yet!"
A nanny knelt down and replied in a trembling voice, "Reporting to Madam, we have already sent someone to invite her."
The hall was in complete chaos. Liu Wenying was afraid that Wen Jingshu would faint from crying, so she quickly comforted her.
"Wenying, I know you're good with children, you must have some ideas, please save Ye'er!"
Liu Wenying was afraid of taking responsibility, but the die was cast, and she could hardly stand by and watch her young master get into trouble without doing anything.
"Then please convince the Madam to trust me."
"I'll do anything to save Ye'er!"
Wen Jingshu handed the child over to her.
Liu Wenying unwrapped the baby and laid Ye'er face down, with her head lower than her body, steadily resting her on her left forearm.
Carefully hold the child's chin with your left thumb and forefinger, while lifting the base of your right palm.
"What are you trying to do?" Madam Pei demanded sharply.
"Stop! How dare you treat the young master like this!"
Several maids and servants also let out a soft gasp.
Tears streamed down Wen Jingshu's face as she tried to stop them, saying, "Mother, wait a little longer. Wenying won't harm Ye'er!"
Liu Wenying ignored the surrounding noise, focusing all her attention on the small body in her palm.
Position the heel of your right palm between the child's shoulder blades on their back, and strike repeatedly with all your might and skill.
"How can you save a child like this? Stop it!" Madam Pei couldn't sit still and was about to order someone to forcibly separate Liu Wenying and the child.
"Wow--"
A loud cry suddenly rang out, followed by a round, wet thing falling out of Ye'er's mouth—it was a candied lotus seed.
As the lotus seed was expelled, Ye'er's terrifying expression gradually returned to normal.
The Heimlich maneuver is a first aid method for choking, applicable to both adults and children.
Liu Wenying had first aid training and quickly brought her young master back to life.
The room, which had been in chaos just moments before, was now completely silent.
Wen Jingshu was the first to react. She took the child from Liu Wenying's hands, hugged him tightly, and cried tears of joy.
"Ye'er, my Ye'er, it's alright, Ye'er..."
Madam Pei was also still shaken; she almost had the wet nurse pulled away, nearly delaying Ye Ge'er's treatment.
Liu Wenying wiped her sweat, and instead of trying to curry favor, she stood obediently behind the First Madam with her head bowed.
The physician finally arrived. Seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, he didn't know what was going on, but his medical instincts made him go forward immediately.
"Quickly, let this old man see the young master."
The maid had already explained the young master's situation on the way he was brought here.
Wen Jingshu hurriedly handed the child over, and the physician examined him carefully, nodding repeatedly.
"Fortunately, the situation was handled promptly and appropriately. Choking on a foreign object is extremely dangerous, especially for an infant whose airway is narrow; even a moment's delay could be fatal. Thankfully, someone induced the vomiting of the lotus seed beforehand, saving the young master's life!"
He had one more thing he didn't say: if they waited for him to arrive before trying to save the patient, it might be too late.
The unspoken words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
The young master was terrified by the suffocating pain he had just experienced and cried his heart out.
Wen Jingshu held him tightly, coaxing him softly and kissing the child's forehead repeatedly.
The physician prescribed a calming remedy and, after careful observation, withdrew only with the master's permission.
The atmosphere inside the house did not truly relax after the child was out of danger.
All eyes were drawn to the candied lotus seed that Ye'er had spat out from her mouth.
Seeing that her masters' emotions had calmed down, Liu Wenying dared to speak in a low voice.
"My lords, nuts such as lotus seeds, melon seeds, and peanuts must never be ingested. If they are accidentally inhaled into the trachea, and if not treated promptly, they can be fatal in an instant."
She was simply repeating what the physician had said, stating a fact, a piece of common sense about childcare.
So here's the question: where did that lotus seed that almost cost him his life come from?
To accommodate guests, each seat has a small table next to it with an exquisite gift box filled with various dried fruits and candied fruits.
There was a wide variety of food available, including candied lotus seeds, salt-roasted almonds, and spiced melon seeds. These were originally meant to amuse adults during their casual conversations.
Only a handful of people had ever met Ye Ge'er.
The wet nurse, Liu Wenying, who had been holding the child, was Liang Shi, who had just played with the child. The child's mother, Wen Jingshu, and Madam Pei had also shown affection for the child for a moment when the child was brought in.
Liu Wenying was a wet nurse and knew the risks involved. She would never have willingly fed the child this, especially since she wasn't present when the incident occurred.
Wen Jingshu is her biological mother, and she loves her son dearly.
With her status and experience, how could Madam Pei not know this simple truth?
So...
Madam Pei's sharp, piercing gaze shot towards Madam Liang.
As the Duchess of the State, her demeanor was far beyond that of an ordinary woman.
Liang was startled by her gaze and began to defend herself in a shrill voice.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I mean this? I didn't feed my son lotus seeds. Perhaps his little hands were grabbing and reaching around, and he somehow managed to grab a handful of lotus seeds and put them in his mouth. He's still young and doesn't understand. He'll put anything he can grab into his mouth."
Madam Liang swallowed hard and continued, "We were all talking and chatting away just now, and no one was really looking at Ye-ge'er's little hand, was they? Maybe it was just a fleeting moment, a complete accident."
"I haven't even said whether it was you or not, and you're already busy disclaiming any responsibility. Who would believe you have nothing to hide?"
Madam Pei sneered, "Today, my grandson is incredibly lucky to have encountered such a bold and meticulous servant, saving his life. If something had truly gone wrong, wouldn't you want to know the consequences, sister-in-law?"
