As the owner of the Qin’s, Qin Yu naturally had to attend to all sorts of things. He knew that Lin Xi did not like these, so after waiting for the matter at the Ancestral Hall to come to an end, he directly sent her back to the villa where they rested last night.

Qin Yu instructed her: "The Qin family has a lot of things to do. If anyone comes to find you for social meetup, if they don't want to go, then just reject them. Don't worry about anything. I'm going to the front hall to meet some guests. I'll come back for lunch at noon. "

Lin Xi nodded her head carelessly. Coincidentally, she could use this period of time to look for her necklace.

After Qin Yu left, she started rummaging through the living room.

She had thought that she had accidentally knocked the necklace onto the carpet when she put it down last night. However, even after she had gone through the entire living room, she still could not find any traces of the necklace.

She was sure that she remembered correctly. She did place the necklace on the tea table in the living room last night. Even if she had accidentally broken the necklace, it should still be in the living room.

Lin Xi had to think more. Was there someone who took advantage of her lateness to get the necklace?

Ever since Qin Yu gave that necklace to her, she had always been wearing it on her body other than when she was bathing. Now that she could no longer find it, she felt that her heart was a little empty.

The nanny was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties, and her face looked very friendly. She had always been in the villa, and this morning, she had even woken up earlier than Lin Xi and Qin Yu.

Lin Xi asked her: "When you came to clean this morning, did you discover a blue diamond necklace in the living room?"

The nanny shook her head. "When I was cleaning up in the morning, there was nothing on the table."

Lin Xi asked again, "Then between last night's twelve o'clock and this morning's eight o'clock, who came to the villa?"

The nanny first shook her head, then suddenly remembered something, and said: "This morning at around seven o'clock, there were a few Young Master s and young ladies who came over to play, but I was afraid that they would disturb your sleep with the Mr. Qin, so I only let them stay for a little while to coax them to leave. Other than these children, no one else has come. "

Lin Xi: "Then do you still remember who they are?"

She couldn't help but feel anxious. If she only lost a small item, then she wouldn't pursue the matter. But that necklace was the only gift Qin Yu had given her after her rebirth, she didn't want to lose it like this.

The nanny thought for a while and said: "I remember that there is the youngest son of Mister Qin Li, and the daughter of Miss Jiu Biao, Qin Rui. There are four or five other children, but they can't remember their names. "

She sighed with embarrassment. "I'm already old. My brain is no longer as sharp as when I was young."

Even if one had a bright mind, remembering all one hundred or so people in the ancestral house in one go would still take some effort. As a result, Lin Xi did not make things difficult for the nanny. She replied and got the driver to drive her to Qin Li's villa to look for his youngest son, Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan was Qin Ting's younger brother, and they had already eaten dinner together last night. However, Qin Yu had only introduced his to a small group of people with ancestral house at the dining table, so she did not know any Miss Jiu Biao.

When she arrived at the entrance of Qin Xuan's family's villa, Lin Xi just got off the car, and saw a woman in her twenties walking out of the house with a little girl in tow. The two of them looked very similar, so it was easy to recognize that they were a mother and daughter.

There was a large group of children following behind the girl. They chatted non-stop around the little girl as they walked. Lin Xi couldn't help but to glance at them, but when she looked again, she discovered that the little girl was wearing a diamond necklace on her neck.

The design of the necklace was very simple. At the bottom, there was a sapphire. The color of the sapphire was shallow and deep, shaped like a drop of water. The sunlight shone on the sapphire, sparkling.

Isn't that the necklace I lost?

Lin Xi walked forward a few steps, and stopped the mother and daughter before asking them: "The necklace on your daughter's neck is really pretty, I wonder where you bought it from?"

The woman who was stopped was the Miss Jiu Biao mentioned by the nanny. Her name was Qin Xuewei and the girl she was holding in her hand was her daughter, Qin Rui. Her daughter had been surnamed Qin ever since she was born. Because she was surnamed Qin, she could be considered a descendant of the Qin family, and could also receive a share of the dividends from Qin’s.

Qin Xuewei had only just brought his daughter out of Qin Xuan's house when he discovered that there was an additional necklace on her neck.

When she saw the necklace, she knew that it was a good item. At that time, she asked her daughter where she got it from, and her daughter said that it was from her auntie who gave it to her, and when she asked who her daughter was, her daughter said that she didn't remember.

Because there were indeed a lot of people in the ancestral house, even Qin Xuewei herself could not remember all of them, so when Qin Rui said that she did not remember her, she did not care too much and only treated her daughter as someone looking at her daughter's adorable appearance and gave her a greeting gift. She told her daughter that if she saw the auntie who gave her the necklace next time, she must definitely point it out to her.

Qin Xuewei had an extremely good face, he had given her daughter a precious treasure, she had to return the favor, so that she would not be scolded by others.

Qin Xuewei had met Bai Nianxi at the New Year meal yesterday, and now that she was stopped, he recognized her with a glance. She was Qin Yu's fiancee.

Qin Xuewei, hearing Bai Nian Xi's question about the necklace, replied enthusiastically, "Rui Rui has always been charming since she was young. This was given to her by an elder who saw that she was adorable, and I think it looks pretty good, but it's still too mature for a child. I was planning to keep it for her until she grew up.

As she spoke, she pushed Qin Rui in front of her as if showing off.

While speaking, Lin Xi took the opportunity to closely examine the necklace on the little girl's neck. She was almost certain that it was her.

She frowned and asked again: "May I know which elder gave this to your daughter? I just happened to have an identical necklace, but it suddenly disappeared this morning. "

"What do you mean?" When Qin Xuewei saw that she was Qin Yu's fiancee, he wanted to please her a little, but he didn't expect her to suspect his daughter the moment she opened her mouth, and actually hinted that his daughter stole her necklace!

Qin Xuewei's face immediately changed, his expression turning 180 degrees.

She coldly snorted and said, "It's really funny. If you say that this necklace is yours, then it will be yours? Could it be that Miss Bai had taken a fancy to this necklace and wanted to snatch it? If you really like it, I can persuade Rui Rui to give it to you, but you are going too far in slandering my daughter for stealing. My family shouldn't be unable to afford such a small diamond necklace! "

"You really can't afford that necklace on your daughter's neck." A voice spoke from far to near.

Lin Xi turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see that Qin Man had walked over at some point.

Seeing Lin Xi looking over, Qin Man nodded slightly at her, then walked forward and continued speaking: "The blue diamond on this necklace is called the Heart of Water Refinement, it is a heirloom of the European royalty, and is known as one of the most precious gems in the world, it has a price but no market. Just this one, even the richest person, if they don't have a way, might not be able to buy it."

As she said that, she looked at Qin Xuewei and her daughter: "It's not that I look down on your husband's family background. Looking at the entire ancestral house, the number of people who have the ability to buy this diamond can be counted on ten of my fingers."

When Qin Xuewei heard the name Heart of Water, his right eyelid involuntarily jumped twice.

Usually, when she was having tea with a bunch of her sisters, she would listen to the story of the Waterdrop's Heart. When she first saw the necklace, she thought that it must be very valuable, but she didn't realize that it was actually the legendary Waterdrop's Heart.

She looked again at the necklace around her daughter's neck. It was indeed very similar to the Heart of a Water Droplet she had heard of.

However, the Waterdrop's Heart was so precious that no one would give it away so easily. So, if Qin Man didn't lie to it, it meant that her daughter had lied to her just now …

Lin Xi was shocked when she heard Qin Man's words. She did not expect that the necklace Qin Yu had given her was actually the Heart of Water.

Aside from its value, the Heart of the Water Drops has a beautiful legend.

Legend has it that a long time ago there was a beautiful queen, and all the kings of the surrounding countries wanted to marry her, and each of them was trying to win her heart.

In order to test them, the Queen had them help her find a sapphire she had once lost, the Heart of the Water. The Queen will marry whoever finds the Heart of the Water first.

However, the drop of water that the Queen had left was in the hands of a bad Magus. The bad sorcerer said to the kings who had come in search of the gem: The drop of water is so precious that if you want to take it away, you must exchange it for the king's kingdom.

All the kings did not want to give up their country for a jewel, and so they all returned without success.

But one of the kings, after returning home, led his knights to find the bad wizard again. He killed the bad wizard with all his might, took back the sapphire, and gave it to the queen. At the same time, his own country was being offered.

He said to the queen, "I do not want to give up my country, but I am willing to pay my respects to you because you have already conquered my heart."

Because of this story, the heart of the drop of water was bestowed with a beautiful allegory-- "I have been conquered by you, I am willing to give you my all."

Lin Xi didn't know whether or not Qin Yu had thought about the meaning of this necklace when she gave it to him. Had he deliberately chosen this necklace to give him, or had he unconsciously chosen it?

Lin Xi recalled the words that Qin Yu said at the entrance of the Ancestral Temple, a crazy thought suddenly popped into his mind: Could the words at the entrance of the Ancestral Temple be true? Could it be that Qin Yu already recognized her?

She subconsciously touched her chest, but she didn't reach for the diamond that she always wore on her chest. She panicked and took a long time to react. She had lost her necklace this morning and it was on the neck of a little girl.
