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

Si Ma called Qi Xuechun and Qin Jiaer to her side, took out more than a dozen invitations, and said: "I calculated the guest list. These dozen must be delivered. Can any of you call an errand boy for me?"

Qin Jiaer picked up this little thing and took care of it in two minutes.

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

"Yes," Si Ma nodded, "They are all relatives of the Xuechun family."

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

"We are a family, so just say thank you and we won't show up." Sima smiled, her eyes full of love.

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

I want to tell her in a subtle way that not only Si Junfeng and Qi Xuechun have a good relationship, but the Si family and the Qi family also have a good relationship.

Those who want to cause destruction should stop being delusional.

Is this a quiet declaration of war? Then she should accept it.

After sending away the invitations, the three of them sat on the terrace drinking tea in the sun.

"Jia'er, you took the trouble this time," Si Ma said with a smile, "If you need my help in planning your wedding in the future, don't be polite."

Qin Jiaer also smiled: "I want to, but I just can't find a marriage partner."

"You are too good, and there are too few people who can match you." Si Ma said, "But having said that, no one is perfect. What is important in marriage is not perfection, but mutual tolerance..."

But seeing Qin Jiaer staring at her neck, she subconsciously touched the necklace around 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. This bead looks like Laokeng glass..."

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

"Based on the price, this won't happen." Qi Xuechun said calmly and rationally.

Qin Jiaer shook her head: "This necklace is more than a hundred years old. It is not new. Old necklaces like this are the easiest to pick up... Auntie, please take off the necklace and let me take a good look."

Qi Xuechun's eyes moved slightly.

The necklace was in Qin Jiaer's hands.

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

"How's it going?" Sima asked with a smile.

"I can't say for sure," Qin Jia'er looked solemn, "but I'm sure that this bead is extraordinary."

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

"Raise?" Si Ma didn't understand.

Qin Jiaer placed two glasses of water in the shade of Sima's room. There was a wooden stand in front of the two glasses of water, and the necklace was hung on the wooden stand.

"Jade needs moisture the most. If you leave it like this for two hours, the beads will be more hydrated and smooth," Qin Jiaer said, "I also sent someone to send a testing instrument, and I will know the accurate results then."

Si Ma didn't care if it was grown from Laokeng glass or something, but seeing Qin Jiaer's high interest, she didn't want to be disappointed.

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

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

Si Ma nodded and followed her downstairs.

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

This is an excellent opportunity for Qi Xuechun.

However, she reached for the doorknob and found that the door was locked.

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

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

…

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

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

The nanny counted and said, "Madam, there are now twenty-six dishes."

The party was a buffet, with fruit drinks and desserts, and the planned food could fill a long table.

Si Ma looked around: "Where's Xuechun? I don't know what the relatives of the Qi family like to eat."

Qin Jiaer sneered secretly, but her expression was also confused: "She just went to the bathroom, it must have been too long."

Si Ma was slightly stunned.

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

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

She pulled Si Ma: "Aunt, let's go upstairs."

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

Footsteps sounded in the corridor.

However, Qi Xuechun had just entered and was holding the necklace in her hand.

She quickly put the necklace away, but it was too late to leave through the front door...

She quickly came to the window and wanted to climb out of the window, but there was a "boom" sound and the housekeeper was driving in from the garden.

If she climbed out of the window now, the housekeeper would be able to see her as soon as she raised her head.

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

"Yes, I locked the door..." Si Ma grasped the door handle and turned it casually. She was stunned when the door opened.

"Aunt?" Qin Jiaer was confused.

"I remember I locked the door..." Si Ma was also confused.

"Necklace! There is a thief!" Qin Jiaer screamed and rushed into the room immediately.

There is indeed someone in the room!

But this person is...

"Qi Xuechun?" Qin Jiaer was stunned.

Si Ma was also stunned: "Xue Chun!"

Qi Xuechun was standing in front of the closet arranging clothes. When she heard the voice, she turned around and smiled slightly: "Mom, I just passed by the laundry room and brought your washed clothes over."

Qin Jiaer immediately glanced at the necklace, which was hanging on the shelf intact.

Yes, Qin Jiaer 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 easy for her to remove it.

"Auntie locked the door, how did you get in?" Qin Jiaer asked.

Qi Xuechun shook her head: "The door was not locked. As soon as I turned the lock, she opened it."

"Auntie, have you locked the door?" Qin Jiaer asked Si Ma to answer.

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

Qi Xuechun looked calm and unhurried, "It is true that the door was not locked. If I broke in, the lock would have been damaged."

"What happened, madam?" The housekeeper heard the noise and hurried over.

"Butler, you came just in time," Qin Jiaer ordered: "Check the lock, has it been broken?"

The housekeeper was confused, but when Si Ma nodded slightly at him, he stepped forward to check.

He inspected it very carefully, and then said responsibly: "I don't see any signs of being pried."

Qin Jia'er didn't believe it and was not convinced, "I think it's better to find a locksmith who specializes in unlocking..." "Jia'er," Si Ma interrupted her quietly: "I remembered wrongly. I usually have the habit of locking the door, but

It’s unlocked today.”

"aunt……"

Si Ma ignored her and turned to Qi Xuechun: "Xuechun, you don't need to do the folding of clothes. You and Jia'er can go and rest."

"Go." She didn't give the two of them a chance to say anything more.

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

"I looked around and couldn't find Miss Qi," she said.

Si Ma signaled the housekeeper to close the door to the room, and then asked: "Butler, are there really no signs of the door lock being broken?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Madam, someone will deliver food in exactly half an hour. I know a professional locksmith. Should I ask him to pretend to be a food deliveryman and check the door lock?"

Si Ma asked the nanny again: "Are there many clothes I have washed in the laundry room?"

The nanny replied: "I packed a lot yesterday, and there is only one coat left, which I ironed in the morning."
