Chapter 4170 Her Trap

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," Sima 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. Just say thank you and you will be ignored." 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.

She wanted to tell her in a subtle way that not only Si Junfeng and Qi Xuechun had a good relationship, but the Si family and the Qi family also had a good relationship.

Those who want to cause destruction should stop being delusional.

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

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 know much about 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 newly made. 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 you can see it more clearly."

"Raise him?" 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 couldn't 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 was also very 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 Jia'er continued to look at the menu, and suddenly she remembered something, "Hey, look at my memory. To raise jade and 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 come in 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's 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 sound, 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.

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 Jiaer asked.

Qi Xuechun shook his 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 Sima 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 picked?"

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, is there really no sign that the door lock has been broken?"

The housekeeper thought for a moment: "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 that 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."

In short, there weren't that many clothes in the laundry room, and Qi Xuechun couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to do it herself.

Si Ma told the housekeeper: "I will do as you say."

Ten minutes later, Sima returned to the restaurant, where Qi Xuechun and Qin Jiaer were waiting for her.

"Xue Chun, take a look at the menu. Is there anything you want to add?" She turned the page intentionally.

Qi Xuechun nodded and picked up the menu.

Qin Jiaer said nothing, her expression undisguisedly gloomy.

She didn't expect Qi Xuechun to be able to open locks without leaving any traces.

She never expected that Qi Xuechun would not change her expression after being caught on the spot.

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

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

The housekeeper opened the side door of the kitchen and listened to what they were saying. It was the food delivery person who came.

"The sunshine outside is nice today," Sima said suddenly, "Let's go for a walk in the garden and discuss the party."

Qi Xuechun and Qin Jiaer could only stand up.

"Hey!" Qin Jiaer took two steps and suddenly covered her stomach.

"Aunt, I'm going to the bathroom first, and I'll come find you later." Si Ma ran away before she could answer.

Si Ma took a look and made sure that she was just running to the bathroom on the first floor, so she felt relieved.

Qin Jia'er did not go to the bathroom and hid in the corner of the corridor on the first floor. She clearly heard the housekeeper leading the "food delivery man" 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 Jiaer had stayed at Si's house many times and knew the terrain very well.

She quietly climbed up the stairs. Because Sima's bedroom was adjacent to this staircase, she heard the voices of the housekeeper and the "food delivery man" in the middle of the stairs.

"...Take a good look. Are there any signs that the door lock has been broken?" the housekeeper asked.

Qin Jiaer sneered, she just said that Si Ma was just trying to maintain the superficial harmony, but in fact she never suspected that she had locked the door.

No, let the housekeeper secretly find a locksmith to identify it.

The locksmith observed for a moment, then smashed his mouth, "It doesn't look like I've been pried...wait a minute!"

**

"Xue Chun, I have never heard you say anything about what happened after you fell off the cliff." Si Ma suddenly asked.

They were alone in the garden, which was perfect for chatting about personal matters.

Qi Xuechun was confused: "Mom, why did you mention this suddenly?"

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