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

"Your young master?"

Qiao Linxi wondered who she had offended again?

"Yes, my son went to your restaurant for dinner and is now unconscious. The doctor said he was poisoned."

"No, who is your wife? Who is your son?"

Why does Qiao Linxi have a feeling that there are always villains trying to harm me? I have been living in peace for such a short time, why are there troubles again?

"My wife is Madam Li. My son Li Liangbin vomited continuously after coming out of your store last night. He has now passed out."

Li Liangbin? Did he drink himself to death?

Before Qiao Linxi could say anything, she was rudely dragged to the carriage by the Li family's servant. Qin Xiaoqing also got on the carriage out of concern.

In the car, Qin Xiaoqing asked Qiao Linxi: "Miss Qiao, what's going on?"

Qiao Linxi shook her head: "I don't know either, but Li Liangbin did eat at our restaurant yesterday."

"Isn't it the same as what happened to Fang Yuting and the others before?"

Qiao Linxi shook his head again and said, "It shouldn't be. Li Liangbin is not that kind of person. Maybe he really got into trouble."

After saying that, Qiao Linxi recalled the details of Li Liangbin's visit to the store yesterday. After thinking it over again, he did not find anything unusual. The dishes they ordered were nothing special, so how could they be poisoned?

After much thought, the only possibility is that Li Liangbin is suffering from alcohol poisoning. He drank a lot yesterday and is now drunk.

The Li family servant didn't say much. He drove the carriage very fast and soon arrived at the Li Mansion.

The Li family is worthy of being the richest family in Lanqing City. This house looks magnificent at first glance.

The carriage stopped and Qiao Linxi was dragged away again. During the whole process, the Li family servants treated Qiao Linxi like a prisoner, which made Qiao Linxi even angrier.

The servant dragged Qiao Linxi into the Li Mansion and to Li Liangbin's yard.

It was already past the middle of the Chou hour (2 a.m.), but Li Liangbin's yard was still bustling with activity. The lights were on, and maids, old women, and servants were kneeling all over the yard.

The most eye-catching person was the woman kneeling in front of the crowd. She was only wearing a thin middle shirt, her face was pale, and her lips were purple. It was obvious that she had been kneeling for a long time. If she continued to kneel, she might die.

But this is not what Qiao Linxi cares about. She only cares about why Li Liangbin was poisoned.

"You'd better tell the truth. If I torture you, it won't be as simple as making you kneel down."

This was Li Liangbin's mother, as Qiao Linxi remembered. She stood under the eaves with a chill in her body, looking at the servants in the yard.

Li Liangbin is the eldest son of the Li family and will inherit the Li family business in the future, so Mrs. Li is naturally very nervous.

"Madam, please understand. How could we, the servants, poison the young master?"

The old woman in charge of cooking kept kowtowing, and she didn't stop even after her forehead was broken.

"Madam, I have followed the eldest master since I was young, and we have a deep relationship. How could I possibly poison him?"

All the kneeling servants said that they did not poison, but Mrs. Li didn't believe it. If no one poisoned, how could her son be poisoned?

"It's you, right? It's you who is serving the young master in the room tonight." Mrs. Li pointed at the pretty woman and cursed.

"Madam, please understand. How could this servant of mine possibly poison you, young master?"

The woman kowtowed quickly. One could tell that her body was starting to stiffen, and her speech became less clear. She stumbled as she spoke: "Madam has promoted me to be the young master's maid. I am also hoping that I can get pregnant and have a child, so that I can win Madam's favor with the child. I don't expect to become his wife, but it would be good to stay by his side as a concubine."

"But my son was fine when he came back. How could he be poisoned? You were the only one in his room. Who else could it be if not you?"

The woman was indeed the maid that Madam Li arranged for Li Liangbin. That was because Li Liangbin took them to see Qiao Linxi tonight, and he was in a good mood and drank a little too much. So Madam Li took advantage of his happiness and gave him someone, and he did not refuse.

Who could have thought something like this would happen.

A maid, as the name suggests, is a person who has no name or status and voluntarily follows her master to satisfy his desires.

This is the sadness of the old times.

"Ma'am, Boss Qiao is here."

Qiao Linxi was dragged to Madam Li by the servant. Just as she was about to speak, Madam Li slapped her so hard that she saw stars and her cheeks immediately became red and swollen. It can be seen how angry Madam Li was.

"You vicious woman, you actually poisoned my son."

Now Madam Li is like a mad dog, biting whoever she catches. Just now she said that it was the maid who poisoned her, but now she says it was Qiao Linxi.

Qin Xiaoqing, who was behind him, quickly supported Qiao Linxi and said, "Madam, how can you hit someone when you haven't figured out what happened?"

"My son ate everything from her store from the afternoon until the poison broke out. If it wasn't her food that was poisonous, what could it be?"

Madam Li looked at Qiao Linxi, who was also dressed in thin clothes, and said, "Originally, I said that my son liked you and that you were not bad looking. I sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to my son in a few days. Although you were born in the countryside, it would be fine for you to be a concubine. But you actually dared to poison me. On the way back, my son and I discussed that even though you are a concubine, we cannot treat you badly. We will use fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift to bring you into the mansion."

Qiao Linxi was shocked by Madam Li's words. Want to marry her as a concubine? And only offer fifty taels?

"But now my son is in trouble. It would be best if he could wake up. Forget about your marriage. If he doesn't wake up, not only will you not get a penny, but you will also have to be buried with my son."

"No," Qiao Linxi was so angry that she laughed. She looked at Madam Li with a ferocious face and said, "Madam, why are you so sure that I was the one who poisoned her?"

"He only ate at your place today. There must be something wrong with your food."

"If my memory serves me right, you also had dinner at my restaurant last night, right? How come you are fine, but your son is dying?"

Mrs. Li certainly knew this, but now her son's life was hanging by a thread, and she just wanted to find someone to take on this responsibility.

"Hey, what's going on? Madam is punishing the servants in the middle of the night for fun?"

A gorgeously dressed woman walked in from outside the yard with her slender waist twisting.

"Why is Aunt Wang coming here to join in the fun instead of accompanying Master?"

The Li family has more than one son, Li Liangbin. Several concubines have given birth to sons, so the competition is fierce. Mrs. Li wants to find a woman with a good family background to marry Li Liangbin. So this is why Li Liangbin has not married a wife even though he is in his early twenties.

"Oh, this is the recently famous Boss Qiao. She is indeed a top-notch beauty, but what's wrong with her face? It's so pitiful to look at."

Aunt Wang looked distressed as she held Qiao Linxi's hand and said, "Boss Qiao has not promised her yet, so why not marry my son? I am willing to pay a hundred taels of silver to marry you as my son's legal wife. What do you think?"
