It was childish trying to scare off a child but Si Ning was enjoying every moment of it, they had already gotten to the Jasmine palace and for the past hour, Xiu Junjie was still arguing that Si Ning lied while Si Ning was adamant that he doesn't lie, the child was full of energy because Si Ning was aware they could argue all night with how Xiu Junjie kept acting like he would jump and stomp his feet on the ground.
Si Ning's mouth was starting to get sore, all the tingling effect of the kiss gone and now replaced with a strain due to repeating the same statement to Xiu Junjie over and over again.
"What is the reason you waited for me and followed me here?" Si Ning asked when he realized their argument wouldn't be reaching any conclusion soon so he had to change the topic because he wanted to know why Xiu Junjie was now walking beside him into his bedroom.
He couldnt blame the Queen Dowager for hating him yet he think it was too much because his father didnt commit a sin so the son shouldnt pay.
Here Si Ning was referring to the common words that "A son should pay for the sins of the father."
