Chapter 250: Chapter 252: That Hand Needs Amputation

Chef Liu cried out in pain.

The dish along with the scalding oysters smashed onto Dongfang Li.

“Insolence!”

Dongfang Li kicked over Chef Liu with one foot.

“What’s the matter with you, Chef Liu?”

Feng Ruoyan also stood up angrily.

This damn fool, always causing more trouble than help.

“Ouch, my hand.”

But Chef Liu was already in so much pain that he couldn’t speak, cradling his right arm.

Everyone looked at his arm and saw that from his right hand to his forearm, it was turning purple and black, as if he had been poisoned.

“This thing is poisoned! How dare the Feng Mansion try to poison me!”

Dongfang Li was furious.

“Seventh Prince, please calm your anger. There is absolutely no poison in the shellfish. What are you waiting for? Go and fetch a doctor immediately.”

Feng Zhao’an urged anxiously.

The mansion’s physician arrived quickly, but after diagnosing, he shook his head.

“Chef Liu is not poisoned. He is also not ill. This is indeed a strange affair.”

Chef Liu was already in so much pain that he couldn’t speak.

“There is something I’m not sure if I should say.”

Feng Bailing slowly stood up.

Once again, all eyes turned towards Feng Bailing.

“Feng Bailing, could Chef Liu’s hand injury be related to you?”

Feng Ruoyan was on guard.

Chef Liu used to be the head chef at the Princess’ Mansion and was poached by the Chuyue Tower; Feng Bailing must want revenge.

It must be her doing!

Feng Bailing sneered.

“The man was invited by the Feng Mansion, the ingredients were brought by Chef Liu himself; what does it have to do with me? I’m just showing concern as a Physician would for their patient, and I must kindly remind you that Chef Liu’s hand…”

Feng Bailing paused, and Chef Liu trembled.

“Princess Consort Wu, what’s wrong with my hand?”

“If you want to save your life, this hand…it has to be amputated.”

Feng Bailing’s words were a bombshell.

Chef Liu rolled his eyes back, and fainted!

“You’re spreading alarmist talk. The mansion’s doctor has already said that he’s neither poisoned nor sick. How can you amputate a healthy limb? I think you clearly harbor ill intentions, deliberately trying to harm Chef Liu.”

Feng Zhan Tian said indignantly.

Chef Liu is the head chef of the Chuyue Tower, and if he became disabled in Feng Mansion, they would have to pay a hefty compensation.

Feng Bailing’s mention of amputation wasn’t this trying to bankrupt the Feng Mansion?

“Your statement is incorrect. He is not poisoned and has no other ailments, but the wound is infected with bacteria. If I’m not mistaken, he must have been hurt a few days ago while handling shellfish.”

Feng Bailing’s comment was echoed by two assistants.

“Yes, Chef Liu was cut by a shell a few days ago while opening it. At that time, he didn’t think much of it and only washed it with water.”

As a chef, it’s common to get cuts and injuries; it’s all taken for granted.

But they failed to notice that the injury on Chef Liu’s right hand was not an ordinary cut; Feng Bailing noticed at a glance that he was infected with bacteria from the oyster shells.

This kind of bacteria, known as vibrio vulnificus, is present on the surface of shellfish, and once infected, it can easily lead to bacterial infection in patients.

“What infection?”

The people present didn’t understand anything about bacteria. Feng Bailing simply picked up an apple.

“Simply put, Chef Liu’s hand was punctured, and there’s a poison-like substance on the shell, which infected the wound. Initially, only the surface of Liu’s hand was rotting, but actually, the inside had already begun necrotizing. That’s still mild; without amputation, he might even die. It’s like an apple, if it gets bruised and you don’t cut out the rotten part in time, it will quickly spoil. But if you cut away the bruised flesh, it can be preserved for longer. I’ve said my piece; how to treat it is up to you.”

Feng Bailing said, taking a bite of the apple.

Crunch, the crisp, sweet apple crunched loudly.

“Take him away.”

Feng Zhao’an’s face was grim.

Feng Bailing’s words, Feng Zhao’an didn’t quite understand, but she kind of knew that Chef Liu’s hand was done for.

The atmosphere turned somewhat cold.

Feng Ruoyan saw Dongfang Li’s dissatisfaction and quickly stood up.

“Husband, such a grand feast cannot be without good wine. I had someone buy a barrel of wine from the Chuyue Tower and had it chilled in the icehouse for three hours, especially for you.”

This barrel, why does it look so familiar?

Feng Bailing saw the wine barrel Feng Ruoyan had ordered to be brought out.

“Is this the beer from Chuyue Tower?”

Dongfang Li’s attention finally returned to Feng Ruoyan. He had tasted the beer once before, and it was very delicious.

However, the beer was so popular that even Dongfang Li had only drunk it once.

He had casually mentioned it to Feng Ruoyan before, and she managed to buy some.

“I will pour drinks for my husband and everyone.”

Feng Ruoyan took the role of the hostess, Dongfang Li naturally enjoyed the pleasure of a beautiful woman serving him wine.

Beer that has been chilled for a few hours?

Feng Bailing got a jolt.

Before Feng Bailing could speak, Feng Ruoyan picked up a hammer and started to smash the wooden plug on the barrel.
