Following that, Qin Xuewei and Qin Ting clashed back and forth, splitting up and pointing at each other. As the two of them had similar eloquence, it was difficult to determine the victor of this battle, and it took a long time for them to come to a conclusion.
Lin Xi opened her mouth at the same time and stopped the two from speaking: "Not all children are honest and do not lie. Since Qin Xuan and Qin Rui are suspicious, we should look for a lie detector and see who is lying."
After saying that, she turned her head to the bodyguards behind her and instructed them: "In my villa, there is a polygraph machine in the main bedroom. Go and take it over, I want to test Qin Xuan's and Qin Rui's lies."
It was only last night that she found out that there was a lie detector in the bedroom she and Qin Yu were resting in. Because she was curious, she asked Qin Yu a few more questions. Qin Yu said that the device was newly improved by a friend who conducted research on experiments. The accuracy reached as high as 99.9%, but he thought that it was fun to keep one there. That friend had even handwritten a detailed usage instruction manual for him.
Lin Xi had wanted to try that lie detector last night, and it just so happened that she had a good chance today.
Qin Xuewei never thought that Bai Nianxi would suddenly use this move. Previously, she was full of fighting spirit, but after hearing what Lin Xi said, her expression immediately changed.
After the bodyguard heard Lin Xi's instructions, he turned his head and was about to leave, when suddenly, a person walked over from not too far away.
The man stepped forward and said to Lin Xi: "Miss Nianxi, Mr. Qin heard about what happened here from the front hall, and told me to bring you the lie detector in the villa.
Qin Man, who was standing beside Lin Xi, laughed first when she heard this: "Nian Xi, Qin Yu really has the same thoughts as you. Just when you said you wanted to go get the polygraph, he turned around and delivered it to you."
Lin Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, it seemed like Qin Yu had quite a few eyes and ears in the ancestral house, he was actually able to care about what happened after ancestral house even while he was entertaining guests in the hall.
Now that she had the polygraph, Lin Xi told everyone to go into the villa and set up the machine. Following the instructions on the machine, she started to test the lies of the two children.
Qin Rui knew what a lie detector meant. After all, she was still a child. Even if she had known earlier, she wouldn't have been able to control herself now. She stuck close to Qin Xuewei, and burrowed her entire head into's embrace. If one looked closely, one could see that her body was also trembling slightly.
Qin Xuewei was also a little flustered at this point of time, cold sweat covered his back.
Now that the matter had been blown up by her, if it was found out that her daughter had lied later on, it would not be as simple as losing face.
Forget about the necklace, even Qin Ting would not let her off so easily.
While complaining that her daughter had touched someone else's things with her cheap hands, she was also regretting that she had been too proud just now and failed to stop when she was feeling better.
She pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up and carried Qin Rui away, "My daughter is suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable, I want to take her to see a doctor."
Qin Ting snickered as he leaned against the door, trying to expose her: "You can't be trying to run right? I think Qin Rui is doing very well now, as long as you don't hold her so tightly. "
Although Qin Xuan and Qin Ting were of the same father, but their relationship was not any worse than that of an ordinary brother. Just now, Qin Xuewei said that Qin Xuan was very hard to listen to, and he did not want to let him go like this, making his little brother suffer such a loss for nothing.
Seeing that he really couldn't avoid her anymore, Qin Xuewei released Qin Rui who was in his embrace and gave her a look, "Rui Rui, mother will give you another chance. Tell mother, tell everyone, have you stolen Aunt's necklace yet?"
Rather than being found out lying by a lie detector, it would be better to let Qin Rui admit it now.
Qin Rui had been unable to hold back for a long time, she finally burst into tears: "I was wrong, I just wanted to look at the necklace and see how it looked, I didn't want to steal it, I planned to wear it and return it back after a while."
Qin Rui explained in detail about how she stole his necklace. Since she had already admitted it, she naturally wouldn't use the polygraph.
When the other children saw Qin Rui crying, they were all frightened. When Qin Ting saw this, he waved his hand at his brother and said: "Qin Xuan, didn't you want to eat the egg soup just now? Your aunt has already steamed it for you. Bring your little friends to eat with you. "
Qin Xuan replied obediently and left with the other children.
After sending away the child, the only people left in the room were the Master and Qin Rui.
Qin Rui looked at Lin Xi timidly. She was obviously a little afraid of Lin Xi, but after Qin Xuewei gave her a push, she forced herself to walk in front of Lin Xi and said while wiping her tears, "This is all my fault. It has nothing to do with mother.
Lin Xi could not help but snort coldly. Since Qin Xuewei did not succeed in flinging the pail at Qin Xuan and wanted his daughter to shoulder all the responsibility, it was as if the person who was so arrogant to the point of throwing the necklace on the ground was not her.
Qin Rui cried pitifully, but Lin Xi still did not say that he would forgive her. She cried in front of Lin Xi for a while, then helplessly retreated back to her side.
Qin Xuewei wasn't sure about Lin Xi's thoughts right now, but he was sure that as long as he pushed all the responsibility to his daughter, they wouldn't do anything to a child.
So, she hardened her heart, suddenly raised her hand and slapped Qin Rui: "You damned girl! It's one thing to steal things, but you actually dared to lie to me. You didn't usually teach me how to teach you, but now you've learnt it from someone else and become a thief! "
The child's skin was tender. Even though Qin Xuewei had withdrawn all of his strength in this slap, it still left four clear finger marks on his face.
Qin Rui groaned, holding onto half of her face, tears flowing even more fiercely, but she did not dare cry out loud, and could only use her eyes to look at Qin Xuewei's face.
This was not the normal reaction of a child who was doted on by his parents.
Of course, Qin Xuewei blamed all of his responsibilities on his own daughter. After what happened, he didn't care about his daughter at all, other than beating her up.
Obviously, compared to his daughter, Qin Xuewei loved him and his face more. It was likely that she would frequently attack her daughter, so after Qin Rui was beaten up, she did not dare to cry loudly, but instead carefully observed her expression.
Lin Xi suddenly thought back to when she was young, she had also used such a cautious gaze to look at Hu Yunrong. She carefully curried favor with Hu Yunrong, hoping that she would love her a little more …
Lin Xi looked at Qin Rui again, and her heart suddenly softened.
Qin Xuewei who was at the side scolded Qin Rui: "Why are you standing beside me? Why aren't you asking your aunt, and what do you want before you are willing to forgive? "
Lin Xi frowned. On the surface, it seemed like Qin Rui was going to admit her wrongs, but listening to her carefully, she was criticizing her for purposely targeting and making things difficult for a child.
Had she been robbed of her necklace because she was a child, and now it was her fault?
"It's Qin Rui's fault for stealing things, but don't you, as a mother, have any responsibilities?"
Before Lin Xi could say anything, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open by the person outside. Qin Yu stepped into the room and walked straight in front of Lin Xi.
Probably because he was walking in a hurry, a strand of hair fell down from Qin Yu's forehead. Although it did not look tidy, it made him seem more sexy and uninhibited.
When Lin Xi saw him, he subconsciously held onto the Heart of Water in his hands tightly.
She asked Qin Yu: "Shouldn't you be in the lobby right now? "Why did you suddenly come here?"
Just then, another person suddenly walked in from the door, and answered for Qin Yu: "Didn't I hear about your matter? I was afraid that you would be bullied, so he left a room full of customers and ran over."
The person who spoke had a pair of peach blossom eyes, with a teasing look, it turned out to be Xing Lie.
Lin Xi was a little surprised to see him. She did not expect that he would actually come to the Qin Family ancestral house today.
Qin Yu agreed tacitly. His gaze swept across Qin Xuewei and then said to Lin Xi: "I'm afraid that there are people in the ancestral house who do not know your identity and thus would offend you without any rules, so I came over to take a look."
When Qin Xuewei heard this, his entire body could not help but tremble.
Everyone in the ancestral house said that Qin Yu and Bai Nianxi's engagement was only a formality, he actually did not like Bai Nianxi at all, but hearing Qin Yu's words, they seemed to care and liked him a lot.
However, the more Qin Yu cared about protecting Bai Nianxi, the more she couldn't be kind about it today.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Qin Xuewei heard Qin Yu say, "The one who threw the necklace was you, then you can take care of them."
Qin Xuewei trembled even more.
Lin Xi looked at Qin Xuewei, who had his head lowered and did not dare to breathe too loudly, thought for a moment, then turned to Qin Yu and said: "I will take care of this big one, you can have it."
Then she bent down and asked Qin Rui, "What's your favorite toy?"
Qin Rui was a little confused by Lin Xi's sudden question. She turned her head to look at Qin Xuewei, wanting to find the signal from his face to tell her how to answer.
Qin Xuewei said somewhat impatiently: "What are you looking at me for? "You can answer whatever Auntie tells you to, and you can do whatever she tells you to do."
Qin Rui turned her head and replied Lin Xi in a low voice: "The doll that I like the most is the one that Grandma gave me."
She had slept in the same room as her parents. Because she was afraid of the dark, her grandma had bought it for her. She had to have the baby with her every night to sleep.
Lin Xi said: "Just now you stole my most beloved necklace, as punishment, I want to take away your most beloved doll, okay?"
Qin Rui pursed her lips and did not say a word, obviously unwilling.
However, Qin Xuewei did not care whether his daughter was willing or not. She heard Lin Xi say that he wanted Qin Rui's doll, and without saying a word, he instructed the servant beside his: "Go to my villa, Qin Rui's doll is lying on her bed. Quickly go and get it."
Hearing her mother's orders, Qin Rui hesitated to look in the direction of the servants before leaving. She summoned up her courage and said to Lin Xi: "But you took away my doll, I won't be able to sleep at night."
"I just want you to remember this feeling." Lin Xi said, "When you stole my necklace, I was also sad, that's why I made you feel as sad as I did.
"If you steal from someone else, you will be discovered sooner or later. So next time, before you can't help but want to take something from someone else, think back to how you feel right now, think about how sad the person you stole will be, and think about how she will punish you like I did. You'll know what to do. "
Qin Rui nodded as if she understood something.
Lin Xi did not know how much she listened to or remembered, but it had nothing to do with her anymore.
Qin Xuewei's mother's and daughter's residence was not far from Qin Xuan's home. Not long later, Qin Rui's doll was brought over by a servant, and Qin Rui looked at it with tears in her eyes, unwilling to part with it. She wanted to hug it again, but Qin Xuewei pushed him away and gave the doll to Lin Xi.
Qin Xuewei looked at Lin Xi and said: "This is all because the child is insensible. You have already punished her before, so let's just forget about this matter."
Lin Xi took the doll and ignored her. Instead, she turned her head and glanced at Qin Yu, indicating that he had already punished a child, and it was time for him to take action.
Qin Yu looked at her spirited eyes and could not help but laugh. He stared at her for a while, then said to Qin Xuewei: "Today is the new year, I don't want to bother with you too much, take Qin Rui home now."
"No, I can't leave now!" Qin Xuewei suddenly shouted out in a shrill voice, "On the first day of the new year, I was chased back home before it was over, my family will definitely laugh at me! Furthermore, it's not like I made a mistake, if you want to go back, then send Qin Rui back alone, I'm not leaving! "
Seeing that she was starting to make a scene, Qin Yu's face darkened.
He said coldly: "After grandfather passed away, the ancestral house was recorded in my name. This is my property. If I tell you to go, you have to go. If you dare to shout again, then you will not need to go back to ancestral house to celebrate the new year. "
