Ji Mingxuan became annoyed as soon as he saw Gu Chengyu. Why didn't Gu Chengyu show up for the appointment? And how did he appear in the room? It's obvious there's something fishy going on.
He had personally seen Kong Shuhuan enter the room, yet the person lying beneath him wasn't Kong Shuhuan. If someone told him Ji Yuying orchestrated this, he'd find it hard to believe.
Ji Yuying, a woman without even a maid by her side, how could she possibly plot against him?
Could it be that Gu Chengyu had seen through his plan and used it against him? Taking advantage of his inattention to knock him out, leading to what followed.
But how did Gu Chengyu see through his plan? And where did Ji Yuying come from? He found it quite baffling.
Gu Chengyu pretended to be puzzled and said, "Heir Qin, feel free to ask; I certainly won't hide anything. But I still don't know what happened here. Please enlighten me, Heir Qin."
Qin Min didn't answer Gu Chengyu's question but instead asked directly.
