When Jian Xi arrived, Jiang Qimeng was still feigning innocence, urging Old Master Si not to take this matter to heart while actually fanning the flames.
"Ha!" Jian Xi scoffed, walking over. "It seems I've arrived at an inconvenient time. Did I interrupt the film queen's performance?"
Jiang Qimeng, furious and agitated, retorted, "Jian Xi, look at the mess you've caused! You still have the audacity to come here?" She was desperate to pin the blame on Jian Xi for harming Si Junyan.
On the way, Jian Xi had already heard the full story from Housekeeper Qi's men.
"Why shouldn't I come? If I truly didn't, wouldn't I be drowned by the slander you've heaped on me?"
Jian Xi approached and knelt halfway before Old Master Si. "Grandfather, this matter has nothing to do with me. However, no matter how I explain, I'll still be under suspicion."
