I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Stop messing around," Qin Guozong thought of his daughter, but he couldn't say anything in front of Qiao Linxi, so he could only remind Qiao Wan'er implicitly.

"When you're out, it's naturally different from when you're at home. You're the apple of your family's eye, but when you're out, not everyone will pamper you or spoil you."

"Uncle, look at her, she won't give me food."

"Qiao Wan'er, do you think it would be useful for you to complain to Lord Qin?"

Qin Guozong felt a headache when he saw Qiao Wan'er making a fuss. He didn't understand why Qin Xiaoqing brought her here.

"Miss Qiao, don't be willful. Be obedient." Qin Guozong was really worried that Qiao Wan'er would end up like him if she offended Qiao Linxi.

Although his crime was determined by the emperor, there was an important role in this, that is Gu Changfeng. He raided the Qin family to vent his anger on Qiao Linxi and to avenge Qin Wanying's private detention of Qiao Linxi.

Gu Changfeng is the synonym of a devil. He has great power in the capital and is deeply trusted by the emperor. Countless important officials of the court have died at his hands.

Qin Guozong didn't want the Qiao family to get into trouble because of the quarrel between Qiao Wan'er and Qiao Linxi.

Seeing that Qin Guozong was also scolding her, Qiao Wan'er pouted and stood up: "I won't eat anymore."

"That's perfect. We can save one person's food ration." Qiao Linxi didn't care at all whether Qiao Wan'er ate or not. The title of Crown Prince's Tutor had no deterrent effect on her at all.

"Let's all eat."

Without Qiao Wan'er, the trouble maker, the meal went quite harmoniously.

After lunch, Qiao Linxi gave Qiao Linshan some instructions and left. Fang Yuting took the initiative to take care of the hygiene of the snack bar.

Qin Guozong looked at Qin Xiaoqing and said, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."

Looking at his father's solemn expression, Qin Xiaoqing knew that what he was about to say was very important.

In the backyard, Qin Guozong sat in his room and looked at his son whom he had not seen for several years. The first thing he said was: "What do you think of Miss Qiao?"

"Miss Qiao?" Qin Xiaoqing repeated. He knew that the Miss Qiao his father was referring to was Qiao Linxi, not Qiao Wan'er.

"Miss Qiao, she is very special. I always feel that she has abilities that other girls don't have."

What happened today made Qin Xiaoqing look at Qiao Linxi with new eyes. When he was in the capital, he worked in the Dali Temple. Although his position was not high, he was familiar with the basic reasoning of solving cases.

He didn't expect that Qiao Linxi also understood all these. She remained calm when encountering problems and her thinking was clear and logical. She must not be an ordinary farm girl.

Qin Guozong nodded: "Well, she is a child who brought her eighteen brothers and sisters here from far away. She must have some skills."

"Eighteen?" Qin Xiaoqing only knew that Qiao Linxi had many brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect there were actually eighteen.

"Yes, I've seen them all." Qin Guozong saw that the topic had gone off topic, so he quickly pulled it back and said to Qin Xiaoqing, "You can't have any other thoughts about her. Have you seen those boxes of gold and silver?"

Qin Xiaoqing naturally saw it, and he was still wondering how Qiao Linxi, a snack bar owner, could have so many boxes of gold and silver.

Qin Guozong said: "That was given to her by Gu Changfeng. Although I don't know what conflict she had with Gu Changfeng recently, one thing is certain, she and Gu Changfeng have a special relationship."

Qin Xiaoqing was a smart man and knew what Qin Guozong meant by this. He nodded and said, "Father, I understand. Actually, I just admire Miss Qiao and think that I can get along well with her. I don't have any other ideas."

Qin Guozong sighed: "The reason why the Qin family has fallen into this situation is largely because Gu Changfeng wanted to vent his anger on Miss Qiao."

Then, Qin Guozong told Qin Xiaoqing what had happened in the past few days. He did not mention these things in the letter, only saying that he was fine.

"I see. But why didn't father mention it in his letter?"

Although Qin Xiaoqing heard some rumors when he was in the capital that the emperor wanted to harm Qin Guozong, it was just rumors in the end and no action was taken.

While there was no movement from the emperor's side, Qin Guozong, who was far away at the border, was thrown into prison.

"Sister, you are too ignorant. Who is Gu Changfeng? Is she someone she can play tricks on?"

Qin Xiaoqing felt somewhat resentful towards Qin Wanying. If it weren't for her narrow-minded desire to take revenge on Qiao Linxi, the Qin family wouldn't have been punished.

"Maybe this is the fate of our Qin family. Don't blame her. Your sister has already received the punishment she deserves. She lost both hands, and she will never be able to marry a man of her dreams in this life."

Speaking of Qin Wanying, Qin Guozong just felt a little powerless. He also blamed himself for not teaching Qin Wanying well, which led her to do something that brought shame to the family.

"No matter what, this incident was caused by her, so she should be taught a lesson."

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Qin Guozong took out a book from his arms and handed it to Qin Xiaoqing: "Take a look at this book, it was given to me by Miss Qiao."

Qin Xiaoqing turned the book over and took a look. He was surprised and said, "Father, where did you get this book? This book records in detail what kind of crops to plant under what conditions. It is of great help to us."

"Miss Qiao gave it to me. I have already opened up a few plots of farmland in Baiyun City and have been planting according to the instructions in the book. I believe it won't be long before it grows."

After saying that, Qin Guozong sighed again: "I always feel that one day this Miss Qiao will go to the capital."

"Father, you mean this Miss Qiao is..."

"That's right," Qin Guozong nodded, "She is most likely the granddaughter of Master Qiao. Don't you think her features are somewhat similar to Master Qiao's? And her last name is Qiao."

"Father, you said that Qiao Zijin ran away from home because she was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her family. It has been almost 20 years now. Maybe Qiao Zijin has already married and had children outside."

The first time Qin Xiaoqing saw Qiao Linxi, he felt that she had the temperament of a lady from a noble family, not at all like a country girl.

"If they are really Qiao Zijin's children, then your Grandpa Qiao will probably be very happy for days and nights."

"Of course," Qin Xiaoqing agreed with Qin Guozong's statement: "Having more than a dozen grandchildren is something worth showing off no matter where you live."

"A-choo..." Qiao Linxi kept sneezing while walking on the road. She rubbed her nose and muttered, "Maybe I have a cold?"

"Oh no, it's not like that. It's not that you have a cold just because you sneeze. It could also be that someone is saying bad things about you behind your back."

"Really?" Qiao Linxi asked the system in confusion.

"It's possible. I heard Qin Guozong and Qin Xiaoqing discussing the identity of the host."
