Chapter 75: Chapter 77: Refusing to Help the Dying Chapter 75: Chapter 77: Refusing to Help the Dying Qin Liuxi entered without an invitation, with Mrs. Zhou barely having ti to hastily follow.
Qi Qian was sowhat astonished; he had clearly heard Qin Liuxi’s soft murmur, “an air of resentful evil spirits?”
“This room is so cold, it slls so bad,” Ding Suman muttered, clinging closely to Old Mrs. Ding’s side, unconsciously rubbing her arms.
Old Mrs. Ding furrowed her brows as well, touching the Buddha Beads on her wrist. Sohow, upon entering this room, she felt completely uncomfortable and just wanted to turn around and leave.
Qin Liuxi, undisturbed by the cold aura of the room, as if already knowing the inner part, headed straight for the bedroom upon entry. Her fingers ford a mantra, her lips slightly moved, and the spell spilled from her lips.
Entering the bedroom, she stopped in her tracks, raising an eyebrow.
“Upon waking, did your husband ntion anything?” Qin Liuxi asked Mrs. Zhou who followed behind.
Mrs. Zhou was displeased by Qin Liuxi’s uninvited intrusion, but her question made Mrs. Zhou hesitate for a mont.
“Did he say anything about difficulty breathing, a heavy heart, as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on him or being strangled around the neck, unable to breathe?”
Mrs. Zhou’s complexion changed dramatically, her eyes filled with horror. How… how could she know?
Qin Liuxi sneered, glanced at the head of the bed, then looked towards the emaciated man on the bedstead and said, “Is such a person truly worth risking your life for?”
Mrs. Zhou thought she referred to how thin the man had beco from sickness and said, “He is just this thin because of illness. Are you, are you really a doctor? Can you save him? If you can save him, I will pay you any amount.”
“No cure,” Qin Liuxi said, her eyes showing a trace of disgust, and she spoke coldly, “Within three days, he is bound to die beyond doubt.”
Everyone was stunned.
Is it possible, just by looking, she can tell? She hasn’t even observed his appearance, listened, asked, or felt his pulse!
“You… you…” Mrs. Zhou trembled with rage.
How can there be such a malicious person in the world, and a doctor at that? Are all doctors as nasty as she is in their words?
Without even taking his pulse, she curses a living man?
Old Mrs. Ding also frowned and said, “Young sir, without having observed, listened, asked, or felt the pulse, how can you be so conclusive?”
“Those who must atone for their karma are beyond help, why need to diagnose?” Qin Liuxi said coldly, “Even if he could be saved, I wouldn’t do it. He is not worth it!”
“So you just watch him die?” Ding Suman exclaid, thinking this person to be extrely cruel.
Qi Qian cast a cold glance towards her.
Ding Suman felt petrified by the look, her face turning deathly pale.
Qin Liuxi sneered, “Just watch him die? You can put it that way.”
Saving such a person laden with karmic debts, she feared for her own fortune.
“Enough!” Mrs. Zhou, overwheld with anger, stood in front of her husband’s bed, pointed towards the door, and commanded, “I do not need you to save him, please leave.”
Qin Liuxi left without another word. After two steps, she stopped again and said, “You say your husband is deeply devoted to you, preferring to adopt orphans from the Charitable Hall rather than take a concubine to have children? But how do I see that he not only has children, but two at that. Did he tell you, he has taken a liking to one of the kids, just five years old, who shares a special bond with him?”
Mrs. Zhou was dumbfounded.
“Furthermore, did he ever tell you he once had a wife? And now, another woman on the side?”
After dropping these remarks, Qin Liuxi said, “If you had known these things, could you still risk your life for him?”
Mrs. Zhou slumped to the ground, her face stricken with shock, while Old Mrs. Ding and the others were full of questions. What did all this an?
They looked towards the horrified Mrs. Zhou, then at Qin Liuxi’s indifferent, non-joking deanor, suddenly feeling a chilling terror, a coldness shooting up from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads, and felt even colder.
