The next day, Si Junfeng still went out early in the morning.

Si Ma called Qi Xuechun and Qin Jia'er to her side, took out more than a dozen invitations, and said, "I have counted the guest list, and these dozen must be delivered. Who of you can help me call an errand."

This trivial matter, Qin Jiaer picked up the phone and did it in two minutes.

But when she flipped through the invitation, she found something, "Auntie, these people are all in City C."

"Yes," Si Ma nodded, "they are all relatives of Xuechun's family."

Qi Xuechun had no memory of her relatives, but she understood that this was the intention of Si Ma, "Thank you, Mom," she said.

"We're a family, we'll see you when you say thank you." Si Ma smiled, her eyes full of love.

Qin Jia'er sneered in her heart, it turned out that Si Ma's original intention was to act for her.

He wanted to tell her that not only did Si Junfeng and Qi Xuechun have a good relationship, but the Si family had a good relationship with the Qi family.

Those who want to do damage, don't be delusional.

Is this a quiet declaration of war, then she is ready to fight.

After sending the invitations away, the three sat on the terrace basking in the sun and drinking tea.

"Jia'er, you've been bothered this time," Si Ma said with a smile, "If you need me to help you prepare for the wedding in the future, don't be polite."

Qin Jia'er also smiled: "I think so too, but I just can't find a marriage partner."

"You're too good, and there are too few people who can match you." Si Ma said, "But then again, no one is perfect. What marriage needs is not perfection, but mutual tolerance..."

But seeing Qin Jiaer staring at her neck, she subconsciously touched the necklace on her neck, "What's wrong?"

Qin Jiaer seemed to have discovered a new world: "Auntie, this bead is different from other beads. The others are ordinary jadeite, and this bead is like an old pit glass..."

"Really!" Si Ma was also very surprised. People who don't understand jade also know how valuable Laokeng glass is.

"According to the price, there will be no such situation." Qi Xuechun was calm and rational.

Qin Jia'er shook her head: "This necklace is more than a hundred years old. It's not new. An old necklace like this is the easiest to miss... Auntie, take off the necklace and I'll take a good look."

Qi Xuechun's eyes moved slightly.

The necklace was in Qin Jia'er's hands.

She picked it up and looked at it carefully, looking at the light and looking closely, very professional.

"How is it?" Si Ma asked with a smile.

"I'm not sure," Qin Jia'er said solemnly, "but I'm sure this bead is not ordinary."

"Auntie," she raised her head, "if you don't mind, I'd like to raise it first so that I can see it more clearly."

"Foster one?" Si Ma didn't understand.

Qin Jiaer placed two glasses of water in the shade in Si Ma's room, a wooden frame was placed in front of the two glasses of water, and the necklace was hung on the wooden frame.

"Jade stones need moisture the most, so after two hours, the beads will be more moist and smooth," Qin Jia'er said. "I also sent people to send testing equipment, and then the accurate results will be known."

Si Ma didn't care whether it was grown from old pit glass or something, but seeing Qin Jia'er in high spirits, she was not inconvenienced to disappoint her.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Qi Xuechun went out.

Si Ma and Qin Jia'er sat in the room for a while, Qin Jia'er said, "Auntie, let it be raised here, let's go downstairs to discuss the menu of the party."

Si Ma nodded and followed her downstairs.

After a moment, a figure came to the door of Si Ma's room.

This is an excellent opportunity for Qi Xuechun.

However, she reached for the doorknob, only to find that the door was locked.

Si Ma is also very attentive and concerned about her necklace.

Qi Xuechun thought for a while, and took out a slender hairpin from her hair.

…

"...Auntie, let's add a steamed abalone," Qin Jiaer gave Si Ma an idea in the restaurant, "This dish is easy to use."

Si Ma nodded and motioned for the nanny who was recording on the side to add it.

The nanny counted, "Ma'am, there are now twenty-six dishes."

The party is buffet style, with fruit drinks and desserts, the proposed food can fill a long table.

Si Ma looked around: "Xuechun, I don't know what Qi's relatives like to eat."

Qin Jia'er sneered secretly, but her expression was also puzzled: "It took too long for her to go to the bathroom just now."

The mother was stunned.

"I'll take a look." The nanny got up and left.

Qin Jiaer continued to examine the menu, and suddenly she remembered something, "Hey, look at my memory, you have to put some oil on it to raise jade."

She pulled her boss' mother: "Auntie, let's go upstairs."

Si Ma was inexplicably uneasy and wanted to see the necklace.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor.

However, Qi Xuechun had just come in and was holding the necklace in his hand.

She hurriedly put the necklace away, but it was too late to go out from the front door...

She hurried to the window and wanted to climb out of the window, but with the sound of "boom", the housekeeper was driving in from the garden.

If she climbed the window now, the housekeeper could see it as soon as she looked up.

"Auntie, did you lock the door just now?" Qin Jia'er's voice already sounded outside the door.

"Yeah, I locked the door..." Si Ma grabbed the door handle and turned it at will, she was stunned, and the door actually opened.

"Aunt?" Qin Jia'er wondered.

"I remember that I locked the door..." Si Ma was also very puzzled.

"Necklace! There's a thief!" Qin Jia'er screamed and rushed into the room immediately.

There is indeed someone in the room!

But this man is...

"Qi Xuechun?" Qin Jia'er was stunned.

Si Ma was also stunned: "Xuechun!"

Qi Xuechun stood in front of the closet and sorted out her clothes. She turned her head and smiled slightly when she heard the sound: "Mom, I passed by the laundry room just now, and I brought your laundry here by the way."

Qin Jia'er immediately glanced at the necklace, which was hanging on the shelf intact.

That's right, Qin Jia'er deliberately set a trap. She wanted Si Ma to see with her own eyes that Qi Xuechun had unusual thoughts about the necklace.

Now, after finally blocking Qi Xuechun in the room, it is not so easy for her to remove it.

"Auntie locked the door, how did you get in?" Qin Jia'er asked.

Qi Xuechun shook her head: "I didn't lock the door, she opened it as soon as I turned the lock."

"Auntie, did you lock the door?" Qin Jiaer asked Si Ma to answer.

For a moment, the mother didn't know how to answer.

Qi Xuechun's expression was calm and unhurried, "It's true that the door is not locked. If I break in, the lock will be damaged."

"What's the matter, ma'am?" The housekeeper hurried over when he heard the movement.

"Butler, you came just in time," Qin Jia'er instructed, "check the lock, has it been picked?"

The housekeeper was at a loss, but seeing Si Ma nodded slightly at him, he stepped forward to check.

He checked it carefully, and then said responsibly, "I don't see any signs of being pryed."

Qin Jiaer didn't believe it and refused to accept, "I think it's better to find a locksmith who specializes in unlocking..." "Jiaer," Si Ma interrupted her in a low voice, "I remember correctly, I usually have the habit of locking doors, but today Not locked."

"aunt…"

Si Ma ignored her and said to Qi Xuechun, "Xuechun, you don't need to do things like folding clothes. You and Jia'er can go to rest."

"Go." She didn't give them a chance to say more.

After Qin Jiaer and Qi Xuechun left, the nanny came over.

"I looked around, but I didn't see Miss Qi," she said.

Si Ma motioned the housekeeper to close the door of the room, and then asked, "Housekeeper, is there really no sign of the door lock being picked?"

The housekeeper thought for a while: "Ma'am, someone will deliver the food in just half an hour. I know a professional lockpicker. I asked him to pretend to be the food delivery man to check the door lock?"

Si Ma asked the nanny again: "In the laundry room, do I have a lot of laundry done?"

The nanny replied: "I already packed a batch yesterday, and I only have one coat left, which was ironed in the morning."

In short, there were not too many clothes in the laundry room, and Qi Xuechun couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to do it himself.

Si Ma instructed the housekeeper: "Just do as you say."

Ten minutes later, Si Ma returned to the restaurant, where Qi Xuechun and Qin Jia'er were waiting for her.

"Xuechun, look at the menu, do you have anything to add?" She intentionally turned the page.

Qi Xuechun nodded and picked up the menu.

Qin Jia'er didn't say a word, her expression was gloomy.

She didn't expect Qi Xuechun to open the lock without leaving any traces.

She didn't even expect that after being caught on the spot, Qi Xuechun's face did not change.

Qi Xuechun's opponent was not as simple as she imagined.

Not long after, the sound of a car's engine came from the garden.

The butler opened the side door of the kitchen and listened to what they said, it was the person who delivered the dishes.

"It's sunny outside today," Si Ma suddenly said, "Let's go for a walk in the garden and discuss the party by the way."

Qi Xuechun and Qin Jia'er could only follow.

"Hey!" Qin Jia'er took two steps and suddenly covered her stomach.

"Auntie, I'll go to the bathroom first, and I'll come to see you later." She ran away before Si Ma could answer.

Si Ma took a look and determined that she was just running to the bathroom on the first floor, a little relieved.

Qin Jia'er didn't go to the bathroom, she hid in the corner of the corridor on the first floor, and heard clearly that the housekeeper brought the "food delivery person" to the second floor.

At the end of the corridor on the first floor, there is a small staircase leading to the second floor.

Qin Jia'er has stayed at Si's house for a while, and she knows the terrain very well.

She quietly climbed up the stairs, because Sima's bedroom was by this staircase, so she heard the voice of the housekeeper and the "food delivery person" in the middle of the stairs.

"... Take a good look at it, is there any sign that the door lock has been pried?" the housekeeper explained.

Qin Jia'er sneered, she just said, Si Ma just wanted to maintain the harmony on the surface, but she never suspected that she locked the door.

No, let the housekeeper secretly find a locksmith for identification.

The locksmith observed for a moment, slammed it, and said, "I don't look like I've been picked... Wait a minute!"

**

"Xuechun, I've never heard you say what happened after you fell off the cliff." Si Ma suddenly asked.

It's just the two of them in the garden, and it's a good place to talk about private matters.

Qi Xuechun was puzzled: "Mom, why did you bring this up suddenly?"

Si Ma looked at her distressedly: "I didn't mention it suddenly. In fact, I always thought that you must have experienced a lot of pain to survive if you fell from such a height."
