The servant did what Bai Zhi said, he pinched his young master’s nose and blew air into his mouth. Then Bai Zhi began to press on Ke Tong’s left chest again. After repeating this several times, Bai Zhi was tired and unable to press.

Madam Ke hurried to her son. Seeing this, she rushed to beat Bai Zhi. Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Xu stopped her from the side.

“Madam, what are you doing?”

Madam Ke couldn’t stop her tears. She pointed her finger to Bai Zhi and said: “Where did this madman come from? Why do you treat me like this? My son has already died, why does she still humiliate him like this?”

Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Madam, although I don’t know what Miss Bai is doing, I believe that there must be a reason for her to do this.”

“What reason? People are already dead. What is she doing?”

Ke Shengming shouted to his wife: “Shut up, Miss Bai is here to save people. She is a good girl. What humiliating your son when he’s dead? What good will she get for doing this?”

It seems right when he said that. Who would bother to humiliate their son who just died in their home? And she was a young lady. She had no reason to do this.

Madam Ke shut her mouth, took the veil from her maidservant and wiped away the tears on her face, then stared at her son vigorously.

At this time, Ke Tong, who had been unconscious, suddenly coughed violently. After coughing, he spat out a large mouthful of water and then panted heavily.

The frightened servant sat down on the ground, his mouth open wide for a long time.

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and pulled back her hands that had been trembling due to excessive force.

“He’s alive, he’s alive!” Imperial Doctor Xu looked at Ke Tong, who came back to life, with surprise. A person who lost his breath survived with just a few presses like that?

Madam Ke rushed to her son’s side and started crying again. She cried as she said: “You unfilial son, why did you do this all of a sudden? Do you want your white-haired parents to send a black-haired son to burial?”

Ke Tong’s breath hasn’t slowed down yet. He only knew that he was still alive. He didn’t die.

He struggled to get up and pushed his mother away from him: “Mother, don’t touch me. Just let me die, I have no face to live in this world.”

Madam Ke rushed forward again and caught him: “If you die, I will die with you.”

“Mother–” Ke Tong also cried, his purple-colored lips trembled together with his body, as the water kept dripping from his face. No one knows if it was the water in the pond or his tears.

“Mother-I will die sooner or later. Instead of being ridiculed by the world and hurting the reputation of the Ke family, it’s better to die now and end everything.”

Madam Ke didn’t understand what he was talking about. What ridicule? What die sooner or later? She didn’t understand at all.

Ke Shengming stepped forward and said to Ke Tong, “That’s why you want to die? Okay, go and die. I’ll stand here and watch you die.”

Ke Tong lowered his head. He opened his trembling lips, but couldn’t utter a word.

Bai Zhi sighed and said to Ke Tong: “Your life doesn’t belong to you alone. Your parents will also be affected if you kill yourself. Suicide is the most cowardly and most contemptuous way to die. If you really want to die, you go and join the army and die on the battlefield. That’s what a real man is. It is also worth it for your parents for bringing you up. And do you think that when you die, the Ke family’s reputation will not be affected? You just get sick and you want to die. Have you ever thought about the pain of your parents who have worked so hard to raise you to this age? They will be white-haired people burying a black-haired son. How much pain do you think they will suffer from it?”
