"It is a blessing to be able to find someone you love and have flowers bloom and bear fruit. Unfortunately, few people can get this kind of blessing," Grandma Si patted her hand, "You must cherish the relationship between you and Junfeng."
She spoke so seriously that Qi Xuechun could not tell the truth to her.
Well, let’s get down to business.
"Auntie asked me to ask you if any of the elders from the Si family want to come?"
Hearing this, Grandma Si fell silent, as if she was making a difficult decision.
After a moment, he said: "I'll let them come, you go find Si Yun and let her prepare."
Qi Xuechun followed her instructions and found the bedroom on the second floor. Before she even knocked on the door, a cry of "lucky" came from inside.
"Who is it?" Si Yun's lazy voice sounded.
"Qi Xuechun."
Soon the door opened, and Si Yun came out with "Lucky" in his arms and a smile on his face, "Xue Chun is here, come in and sit down."
Walking into the bedroom, Qi Xuechun was immediately stunned by the luxurious decoration inside. Even though she was born into a rich young lady, this was the first time she saw rubies and sapphires inlaid on the windows.
Not to mention the furnishings in the room and the materials used for various items.
"You like it here?" Si Yun was very happy.
Qi Xuechun nodded and told the truth: "I have never seen a combination of luxury goods, but it only has beauty, without the feeling of nouveau riche."
"Jiang Wen hired someone to make these. I prefer simpler things, but he said it would be beautiful this way... You think it's beautiful too, and what he said is indeed right." A faint sadness flashed across Si Yun's eyes.
Qi Xuechun shook his head: "There are many kinds of beauty, not just one."
Si Yun smiled slightly, turned around and picked up two hair ties, one inlaid with pearls, the other plain and simple.
She sat down, grabbed a bunch of hair on the top of "Lucky's" head, put two hair bands on it respectively, and then asked Qi Xuechun: "Which one do you think looks better on it?"
Qi Xuechun thinks that "Lucky" is a white dog, and embellishment with pearls will make it look whiter.
Si Yun had an "I knew it was like this" expression on his face, "Jiang Wen used this as an analogy to convince me to decorate the room like this."
Qi Xuechun was stunned. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
But she could tell that Si Yun had a deep dependence on her husband Jiang Wen.
This made it difficult for her to say what she needed to convey.
"Aunt, are you taking medicine?" She saw the medicine bottle on the table. The barbiturate contained in it was sedative.
"I didn't sleep well. I kept hearing noises from the roof," Si Yun replied. "The doctor prescribed this medicine for me."
He added: "But I feel that it was not an illusion, I really heard the sound."
"Didn't anyone go up to the roof to take a look?" Qi Xuechun asked.
"I went. The nanny and driver at home went to see her, and Jiang Wen also went. They all said there was nothing there, not even a wild cat." Si Yun pursed his lips, "I really have a problem with myself."
"How long has this situation lasted?" Qi Xuechun asked with concern.
"It's been several years," Si Yun said. "Not only do I have hallucinations, but I also occasionally experience amnesia. Fortunately, Jiang Wen is very efficient and handles matters at work and at home very well. I just rest in peace and recuperate."
Hearing this, Qi Xuechun became more and more confused. Since Jiang Wen was willing to take care of Si Yun, why did the Si family want to instigate them to divorce?
"Mrs. Jiang," she felt that she could not delay any longer, "Grandma Si asked me to come. Several elders of the Si family will be here soon. She asked you to prepare."
Si Yun was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, "I understand."
With that said, she stood up and walked into the cloakroom. Qi Xuechun was stunned, just like this...
Si Yun's calmness was beyond Qi Xuechun's expectation.
It seems that this matter was not mentioned in a day or two.
"Xue Chun, can you come and help me?" Si Yun shouted.
Si Yun picked out three types of clothes. Although they were not banquet dresses, each set was handmade and each button was very particular.
She wanted to ask Qi Xuechun's opinion, but Qi Xuechun didn't understand. Meeting her elders requires such a grand ceremony?
Si Yun smiled: "As Jiang Wen said, a person's attitude towards things can be seen by his appearance. Since we are discussing important matters, we must first dress up in a grand manner."
While she was talking, she took out several sets of jewelry, either diamonds or emeralds, and each piece was very valuable.
Qi Xuechun gave her advice: when meeting her elders, Jade is more dignified and steady.
Si Yun hesitantly took the jade necklace in his hand, put it down after a moment, and said with a solemn expression: "This won't work."
Then she opened the safe and took out a burgundy velvet box.
When the box is opened, a set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry is stunning.
But Qi Xuechun was no longer surprised. She didn't know how many good things there were in this room, but even if Si Yun took out a diamond of more than ten carats the next second, she wouldn't be surprised.
At this time, Qi Xuechun's phone rang, and Si Junfeng urged her to go back to the restaurant and discuss something urgent with her.
"Mrs. Jiang, please take your time and prepare. I'm going downstairs first."
Si Yun nodded: "See you later."
Qi Xuechun wished her not to be too sad tonight.
Back at the restaurant, Si Junfeng was still drinking and chatting with Jiang Wen and other elders. It was hard to tell that there was anything urgent.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit next to him. He came over with his hard lips and whispered: "Don't get too involved in the second aunt's family affairs, it will be no good."
Qi Xuechun nodded, but thought in her heart that she was a police officer, and the last thing she was afraid of was meddling in other people's business.
And in a lot of gossip, there is often information that helps her quickly find out the key to the problem.
Half an hour later, several elders from the Qi family came.
They are all uncle-level figures, and the youngest one is in his early sixties.
Qi Xuechun felt that it was ridiculous that they were blatantly using ancient and outdated concepts to interfere in the lives of younger generations.
There is no need for many people to handle this matter. In addition to these elders, Jiang Wen and Si Yun, Si Ma was also roped in, saying that she was asked to accompany Si Yun and take care of his emotions.
Qi Xuechun was invited because of her profession. The signing of the divorce agreement requires a third party, and the police are more effective.
Si Junfeng also entered the small room and ignored it, purely because of his own thoughts.
Everyone is here, waiting for Si Yun.
However, half an hour later, Si Yun still did not show up.
Is she still struggling with what look is more appropriate?
"Go and ask your wife to come downstairs." Jiang Wen ordered a nanny.
"Si Yun pays great attention to appearance," Jiang Wen explained to everyone with a smile. "Not to mention putting on makeup, sometimes it takes her an hour just to choose clothes and shoes."
An elder was displeased: "She has all these bad habits, and it's all because of you."
Jiang Wen shrugged: "I am just a wife. If I am not good to her, who will be good to her?"
Several elders exchanged glances with each other and signaled the eldest to speak: "Jiang Wen, we know you are a kind person, but Si Yun's treatment cannot be delayed. You..."
Suddenly, a horrified scream passed through the villa.
The cheerful atmosphere came to an abrupt end. Everyone followed the sound... The sound seemed to come from the second floor.
"Dong dong dong..." A burst of hurried and panicked footsteps ran into the small reception room. The nanny was panicked, with no color on her face.
"Don't panic, what's going on?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Madam, madam, she...hanged herself..."
When Qi Xuechun rushed into the room, the driver and the housekeeper had already carried Si Yun down, leaving behind a round sleeve hanging on a beam in the cloakroom.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun!" Jiang Wen rushed to Si Yun, wailing in pain, "Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you, why are you doing this!"
"Hurry, call an ambulance... No, the ambulance is too late."
Jiang Wen picked up Si Yun and rushed outside.
The people who rushed in together rushed out again. Only Qi Xuechun sat down, thinking in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, Si Junfeng came to her side, "What are you doing sitting here?" he asked.
"Where is Mrs. Jiang?" she asked.
"He was sent to the hospital, but he couldn't be rescued." Si Junfeng said with a deep look.
Qi Xuechun raised a hand to cover her forehead.
"My aunt's mental state has not been very good. Maybe she just got sick..."
"But ten minutes ago, I talked to her and she was fine."
She couldn't understand what happened in these short ten minutes. Even if Si Yun's mental state was not good, there must be something to stimulate her.
She had never felt like she did today, that a person's life was so fragile.
"Are you lamenting my aunt or Du Ming?" Si Junfeng asked.
Qi Xuechun was slightly stunned. His words were like a revelation, causing the fog of sadness in front of her eyes to blow away in an instant...
She was just manipulated by her emotions and fell into sadness.
But what she should do at this moment is to clarify the facts.
"Did I hurt you by speaking too directly?" Seeing that she fell silent again, Si Junfeng asked again.
She stood up suddenly, "I should be grateful to you."
After saying that, she walked into the cloakroom again.
She had calmed down and scanned the entire room. She saw that most of the things in the room remained the same as when she left.
Even the three dresses chosen by Si Yun were kept in their original places.
Those sets of jewelry were also untouched, so what did Si Yun do in the ten minutes when Qi Xuechun left?
"What did you find?" Si Junfeng walked in and his eyes fell on the opened set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry.
"A top-grade ruby is worth a house in the city," Si Junfeng said with emotion. "A life that ordinary people can't even imagine has made my aunt sick."
As he spoke, he subconsciously wanted to pick up the necklace in the box.
"Don't move!" Qi Xuechun suddenly shouted.
She quickly came to the jewelry box and said, "I'm glad you didn't say why you shouldn't eat minced meat, and you can understand the feelings of ordinary people."
As she spoke, her eyes kept focusing on this set of ruby jewelry.
"What's wrong?" Si Junfeng asked.
"Mrs. Jiang has tampered with this set of jewelry."
This set of jewelry is divided into necklaces, earrings and bracelets, each of which has a specific groove in the jewelry box.
But one earring didn't fit back into the groove perfectly.
Si Junfeng disagreed: "She planned to wear this set of jewelry, so it wouldn't be surprising if it was touched.
What he said was correct, but what Qi Xuechun was confused about was, "Before I left here, my aunt had already decided to wear it, so why did she put it back instead of wearing it after she had already picked it up?
What interrupted her?
At this time, gentle, tentative footsteps came from outside the room...
