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

When the children learned that Mrs. Qiao was going to look for their father's remains, they felt a little nervous, fearing that their father was not the son of this rich old lady.

Because at present, the old lady judged that they were her grandchildren based on Qiao Linxi's appearance.

What if they see their father's face and find that he is not their son? Then wouldn't they become orphans without family?

Qiao Linxi didn't care. Whether it was or not, it didn't make much difference to her.

Seeing Qiao Linxi's calm look, Old Mrs. Qiao was secretly shocked. This girl wasn't worried about the final outcome at all, nor was she worried that they were not the grandchildren of the Qiao family.

On second thought, yes, what should she worry about? She is capable, rich, and beautiful. Whether she is the granddaughter of the Qiao family or not, she can live a prosperous life.

Old Mrs. Qiao, along with her guards and maids, returned to Luoyue Village along the same path that Qiao Linxi and the others had taken.

Perhaps it was destined, for not long after they set out, Qiao Linxi discovered the two tiger cubs hiding in her carriage.

"Little cub, did you know that we would pass by the place where your father handed you over to me?"

This little tiger cub is bigger than a domestic dog. It was only because Qiao Linxi was the only one sitting in her carriage, otherwise they would not be able to hide.

The tiger cub seemed to understand what Qiao Linxi said. He wagged his tail at her and licked the palm of her hand with his tongue.

"It's time for you to go back to your parents' side."

Qiao Linxi remembered that the tiger cub was found outside a city in front of Baiyun City. He didn't know whether the wolves and the tiger cub's parents were still there when he passed by there.

Along the way, perhaps because she saw that Qiao Linqin and her three siblings were a little nervous, Old Mrs. Qiao softened her heart.

He said: "Don't worry, kids. If it is finally proven that your father is not my son, I will still recognize you as my grandsons, and I will take you back to the capital and include you in the family tree of my Qiao family."

Old Mrs. Qiao had already made up her mind. No matter whether these people were her grandchildren or not, they must be her grandchildren. And her son Qiao Zijin was already dead. As long as she acknowledged him, others would have no evidence to doubt him.

Although the Qiao family is a century-old family, it also needs new blood to sustain it, and these children are the best candidates.

If possible, take the other children away as well, and announce to the public that all of them are Qiao family's children.

As long as the Qiao family recognizes them, no one else will say anything.

Perhaps it was because Qiao Linxi was accompanying them, so the journey was smooth. When they arrived at Baiyun City, they took a short rest and then headed to the next city.

The guards rode horses, and the children and Old Mrs. Qiao took a carriage. They traveled very quickly and arrived at a small town in front of Luoyue Village at sunset.

"Rest here, we can reach Luoyue Village tomorrow."

This remote small town is not as prosperous as Lanqing City. It has been hit by drought and heavy rain. The city is sparsely populated and the streets are littered with debris. It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

"Grandma, are we really going to live here?"

Qiao Wan'er looked at the desolate town and was hesitant. How could people live in such a place? Just looking at it gave her goose bumps.

"It's okay, just stay here for one night. When we get to Luoyue Village tomorrow, we'll get things done and then go back to the capital."

"But this kind of place is run-down and smelly. How can we live there? Look at the rotten houses. Maybe there are dead people there."

"Miss Qiao doesn't want to live here, then we can go out of town and live in the wilderness. I remember there were wolves outside this town when we came here."

When Qiao Wan'er heard what Qiao Linxi said, she wanted to scold her: "Stop talking nonsense. How come the wolves didn't eat you? How can you children still be alive and well?"

"Believe it or not."

As soon as Qiao Linxi finished speaking, a man covered in blood ran towards him from the direction of the city gate, shouting, "Wolf, wolf."

"Master Host, hide quickly. There is a large group of wolves running towards us outside the city."

"Ah! There really is a wolf? What should I do?"

Qiao Wan'er thought Qiao Linxi was just trying to scare her, but she didn't expect there was really a wolf.

Old Mrs. Qiao was also panicked. The people she brought with her were just ordinary guards, only four or five of them. How could they resist the wolves?

"Don't panic, don't panic. We have guards. Hold on to each other and don't get separated."

Although Mrs. Qiao was very flustered, she still pretended to be calm.

"Madam, we need to find a place that is strong and hard to defend, preferably a tall building."

The guards didn’t know how many wolves there were, but judging by the man’s injuries, there might be quite a few of them.

Qiao Linxi was also surprised. No wonder the city gate was unguarded and the city was so deserted. It turned out that there were wolves roaming around.

Qiao Linxi remembered this city. It was the city where Zhao Dongqing went to find a doctor after they encountered the wolf pack.

The place that was once very lively became like a dead city in just a few months. It was all because of the wolves, so all the people in the city fled.

"Follow me." The system has told Qiao Linxi which house matches what the guard said.

Old Madam Qiao looked at the guards, then at the children, and then at the maids. She sighed. Although she didn't want to be led by Qiao Linxi, she didn't want to see anyone get injured or killed.

"Then follow Lin Xi."

Old Mrs. Qiao spoke, and a group of people followed Qiao Linxi.

But their speed was still a little slow, and before they reached their destination, they heard the howling of wolves.

Old Mrs. Qiao has lived in the capital all her life. Old Mr. Qiao has been highly valued by the late emperor since he was young, so Old Mrs. Qiao has enjoyed a good life following him and has never suffered any hardship.

Even this was her first time traveling far away, and she had never seen such a dangerous situation. Maybe it was because she was an old lady, the backbone of this group of people. Old Mrs. Qiao did not see a trace of panic on her face, but just quickened her pace and followed Qiao Linxi.

After the wolves rushed into the city, they scattered, and some people who didn't have time to hide were killed.

"Old lady, please leave quickly. We will cover your retreat."

When the guards saw several wolves chasing after them, they immediately walked to the back, drew their swords and took a defensive stance.

"Sister, I'm scared!"

Qiao Linhua held the rabbit in one hand and was dragged by Qiao Linqin with the other hand as she ran. She started crying as she ran.

Ever since the tomb incident, Qiao Linxi never hugged Qiao Linhua again. Perhaps he had sensed something, and Qiao Linhua no longer dared to stick to Qiao Linxi.

"Don't be afraid of painting. We'll be fine."

The old lady was almost dragged by the maids to run. After only a short distance, she was already out of breath.

"We're here. Let's go in quickly. This City God Temple is very solid."

As soon as Qiao Linxi finished speaking, a huge wolf suddenly jumped out from the side of the City God Temple.
