In order to accompany her father, Bai Zhi'er followed Bai Xilie to the Imperial Study Room.
The Imperial Physician returned with a report after examining the conditions at Prince Kang's Mansion.
It was confirmed that Prince Kang indeed contracted smallpox, the cause being...
"Are you saying Prince Kang caught it at the brothel?!" Bai Xilie confirmed with suppressed fury.
To prevent contagion, the guard responsible for errands outside nodded and said, "That day, the Third Young Master had a quarrel with the Prince, and in a fit of anger, went to the brothel and squandered money lavishly."
"Upon learning this, the Prince went to bring the Third Young Master back home, thus contracting smallpox. We have traced the source and found that most of the dancing girls in the brothel have already fallen ill."
According to the rank, Bai Yaoyu is the Third Young Master.
Bai Xilie slammed the table and angrily said, "Yaoyu, such a good child, was also led astray by Third Brother!"
