Chapter 140 Miscarriage

　　Ji Danqing used all forcible methods in treating the poison when confronting Fang s.h.i.+'s complete breakdown.

　　When she (F) struggled, he let the maids tie her up with a rope.

　　If she refused to take her medicine, they pried open her teeth and poured the medicine inside her mouth. If the amount wasn’t enough, they poured again.

　　Ji Danqing wasn’t gentle and cultivated at all times. At this moment, he was cold-faced and cold-hearted. This let many maids cast a fearful look at him, feeling that his means were too tough. However, to him, he should always try his best to treat the patient. Whether it was medically ethical or not, it was fine as long as he had a clear conscience. He simply didn’t care about what other people would think. As for how to care for the patient's trauma, he had to save their life first. If the life was lost, then everything would be lost.

　　However, as expected, Fang s.h.i.+ had a miscarriage in the end.

　　Although, the amount of white a.r.s.enic consumed wasn’t huge, but as far as Fang s.h.i.+'s current weak body was concerned, it was already not easy to keep her alive. Let alone to save the originally unstable fetus in her belly.

　　When the exhausted Ji Danqing came out of the inner room, he saw Gu Da, who was waiting on the outside with the support of a cane. The head of Gu household suddenly aged so much in one day that he looked like an extremely aged old man. Even standing there, he was unable to stop trembling.

　　"D…doctor Ji…." Gu Da nervously asked, "The child of Xitian…."

　　Ji Danqing shook his head apologetically and said, "Sorry."

　　It was as if the whole world had collapsed and hope had instantly scattered in ashes and dispersed smoke.

• Scattered ashes and dispersed smoke: to vanish/ to be annihilated.

　　Gu Da originally hoped that his eldest son could leave an offspring behind, so that he could take care and see his grandchild grows up, but Ji Danqing's words shattered this last wish in his heart. He suddenly felt empty, stood blankly for a moment and turned his head to look around. He seemed a little confused about where he was and also didn’t understand how all of this had happened in such a way that he couldn’t respond to it and couldn’t ward it off.

　　In the middle of his absent-mindedness, he heard someone shouting anxiously…

　　"Master, master."

　　"Master, wake up, don’t scare us."

　　"Master."

　　The shouts seemed to come from afar but they also seemed close. He couldn’t tell who was calling him and he also didn’t want to know. He just muttered, "Dead, all dead…All had died."

　　As he muttered it, he suddenly broke in laughter, feeling that everything was ridiculous. Two days ago, his eldest son was still alive and well beside him (GD); how could he had pa.s.sed away? How could Fang s.h.i.+, who was still fine a moment ago, got a miscarriage? All of this was a scam, right? This definitely was a scam that they collaborated on it. It must be.
