Young Master Li rushed out of the door without even wearing his clothes and ran all the way back to their mansion.

Ke Shengming doesn’t understand medicine. It was his first time hearing the term mold sores. He had heard about smallpox but not mold sores.

“Imperial Doctor Xu, is there really no cure for this mold disease?”

Imperial Doctor Xu shook his head: “This disease is not originally from our country. It came from outside of the country. It only exist a few years ago. There is no reliable information about it, so there is no cure. Those who were diagnosed with this disease had already left and died.”

Ke Shengming frowned and asked: “Is it contagious?”

Imperial Doctor Xu nodded his head: “Yes, but only those who had sexual contact with the infected people will get this disease.”

“Just like smallpox, it can be pass from men to women, women to men, nonstop?”

Imperial Doctor Xu sighed and replied: “Yes, that’s right. These young people don’t care about their bodies. They just indulge themselves in these things. But once something happened, they regret it.”

Ke Shengming shook his head: “You can’t live if you do evil!”

Thinking of the mold sores on Young Master Li’s arms and neck just now, Ke Shengming suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, he ran into his second son, Ke Tong, in the courtyard. He was standing in a daze by the lotus pond, looking lifeless.

He called Ke Tong behind. Ke Tong was so scared that he hurriedly bowed his head and shrank his neck. He seemed to have seen two such sores on Ke Tong’s arm. He didn’t pay much attention at the time. He thought it was because he took too much in the winter.

Thinking about it, Ke Tong seemed very panicked at the time, and he seemed to be concealing something. The look on his face while standing on the edge of the pond also made him tremble.

Ke Shengming grabbed Imperial Doctor Xu’s arm and said anxiously: “Imperial Doctor Xu, please come with me to the mansion.”

After saying that, regardless of whether Imperial Doctor Xu agreed or not, he dragged him and left. Imperial Doctor Xu’s entourage quickly picked up the medicine box and followed after them.

When they arrived at the Ke Family Mansion, Ke Shengming asked the servant nearby: “Where is the Er Gongzi?”

The next person replied: “Er Gongzi is in Qingzhu Courtyard. He hasn’t come out for several days.”

Without saying another word, Ke Shengming took Imperial Doctor Xu and went to Qingzhu Courtyard.

Two maidservants were sweeping in the yard, whispering and laughing from time to time.

“Where is Er Gongzi?” Ke Shengming asked.

The maidservant busily pointed her finger on the bedroom and said: “Gongzi is resting in the bedroom. He said that no one is allowed to disturb him. He also didn’t eat breakfast or lunch.”

Ke Shengming came to Ke Tong’s bedroom and knocked on the door: “Ke Tong, open the door!”

Ke Tong, who was in the room, was staring from afar in a daze. When he heard his father’s voice, his body immediately trembled in fear: “Father, I’m sleeping.”

“Stop talking nonsense, open the door immediately.” Ke Shengming was anxious. He wanted to verify something as soon as possible. He hopes things were not as he thought.

Ke Tong was helpless, he had never dared to resist his father.

He didn’t want to wear a cotton robe, but thinking about the sores on his neck, he put the cotton robe on.

After opening the door, Ke Tong’s haggard and languid face appeared in Ke Shengming’s eyes. He looked more haggard than when he saw him last time.

Ke Shengming immediately felt chill. His son’s appearance was similar to Young Master Li, who he had just met.

Imperial doctor Xu looked at Ke Tong’s complexion and then focused on Ke Tong’s exposed skin.

Ke Tong’s collar was very high that it blocked his sight. His sleeves were also not folded.

Ke Shengming entered the room. Imperial Doctor Xu also came in, then took the medicine box from his apprentice and asked him to go to the hall to wait.

If it was that disease, then it’s a family’s scandal.
