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

"Are you threatening my mother?"

Mrs. Li never expected that Li Liangbin would threaten her by shaving her head and becoming a monk.

"I don't dare. I just think that I asked Mr. Qiao for the persimmon cake myself, and the poisoning has nothing to do with Mr. Qiao. If you embarrass her like this, you are personally severing your son's marriage fate."

……

The weather was getting colder and colder, cold to the bone, so Qiao Linxi stayed at home and didn't go out. Since that night, she didn't go to the second store.

As we entered the twelfth lunar month, snowflakes actually started falling from the sky.

Unlike the other stores, which had slow business, the second store was doing very well. The hot pot that Qiao Linxi ordered had also arrived, and Liu Yongkang and his wife were busy as hell.

However, as they saw the silver in the money box increasing in amount, the couple were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

The income of the second store far exceeded that of the first store, but Qiao Linxi didn't care about it. She planned to go somewhere else after the New Year. If she wanted to expand her business, she couldn't just stay in Lanqing City, right?

When Qiao Linxi went to make the pot, he did not tell the blacksmith not to make the blueprint public, so other restaurants took advantage of the situation and also launched hot pot. However, the business was far less than that of Qiao Ji Snack Shop.

Madam Liu looked at the snow outside, which was getting heavier and heavier, and felt a little puzzled. "Hey, how many days has it been since Boss Qiao was seen? And Master Li didn't come to eat either."

Since the second store opened, Qiao Linxi went to check on it almost every day. After not seeing him for several days in a row, Madam Liu felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hey... Madam Boss."

A customer who was eating heard Mrs. Liu's mumbling and called her softly, "Come here, I'll tell you."

When Lady Liu walked over, the man said mysteriously, "You don't know yet, something happened in Master Li's family."

"What? Something happened? What happened?"

Seeing Madam Liu like this, the man knew that she didn't know what happened in the Li Mansion.

He looked outside, confirmed that there were no people from the Li family, and continued, "Young Master Li ran away from home."

Madam Liu was stunned: "What?"

"I heard from the Li family's servants that after they came to your place for dinner that night, they went back and vomited all over the place. They later passed out. The doctor came to see them and said they were poisoned."

Madam Liu was anxious: "How could he be poisoned? Everything in my house is clean and hygienic. How could he be poisoned by eating it?"

The man said, "Who said it wasn't true? The servants of the Li family also said that after Master Li fell unconscious that night, the servants of the Li family went to capture Boss Qiao. Madam Li threatened to make Boss Qiao be buried with Master Li, and I heard that they even beat Boss Qiao."

"Is there such a thing? But how come we can't hear anything about it?"

"Mrs. Li deliberately concealed it, how could you possibly know? Mr. Li had a falling out with Mrs. Li because of this matter, and he said that if he couldn't marry Boss Qiao as his principal wife, he would become a monk."

Madam Liu knew that Li Liangbin liked Qiao Linxi, but she didn't expect that he liked her to such an extent that he would insist on marrying her.

"Mrs. Li is really something. Our boss Qiao is such a beautiful and capable person, but she only wants to marry her to Mr. Li as a concubine for fifty taels of silver."

"What? A concubine?" Madam Liu exclaimed, "Does the Li family think they are a great family? They actually want Boss Qiao to be their concubine."

"Who says it's not true?" someone nearby said, "Rich families like the Li family care about family background. In their eyes, Boss Qiao is a person without a family background and is only fit to be a concubine. I heard that the concubine of the Li family asked Boss Qiao to be the legal wife of his son, but Boss Qiao refused."

This is how big families work. If someone without status or background wants to enter a big family, they either have to be a concubine to the legitimate son or the wife to the illegitimate son. In short, they place great emphasis on family background.

After hearing the whole story, Madam Liu was vaguely worried about Qiao Linxi. The Li family was one of the largest families in Lanqing City, and she was worried that the Li family would hate Qiao Linxi because of this.

"If you ask me, what kind of poisoning is that? It must be that Master Li has a low alcohol tolerance and vomited after drinking too much. The Li family said it was poisoning because they were afraid that Master Li would lose face."

"It's possible. Sometimes when we drink too much, we vomit and feel dizzy. After vomiting, we fall into a deep sleep and sleep until noon."

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Madam Liu was worried that the Li family would blame Qiao Linxi for this and would attack her. She wanted to go find her, but she was too busy in the store and couldn't get away.

This matter turned out to be just as Madam Liu had guessed. The Li family blamed Qiao Linxi for Li Liangbin's running away from home.

They were just discussing this topic, and not long after, Madam Li came in with the Li family servants in a threatening manner.

Arriving at the door of the store, Mrs. Li ordered her servants to smash things without saying a word. The servants rushed into the store with sticks and smashed everything, scaring the people who were eating and making them run away.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Madam Liu wanted to stop them, but she was alone and there were more than a dozen servants. How could she stop them?

"Don't smash it, don't smash it, let's talk it over."

Liu Yongkang also ran out of the kitchen, but no one listened to him, so he could only protect his wife from being beaten.

The smashing and looting process lasted for a long time, until there was no good item left in the store, and then Mrs. Li shouted for people to stop.

She walked forward, took a look at the mess on the ground, and said viciously: "Tell Qiao Linxi that this is the result of offending our Li family."

After saying that, Madam Li was about to take her people away. Madam Liu broke free from Liu Yongkang's hand, rushed forward to stop her, and asked, "Madam Li, I don't know how we have offended you. Are you going to bring people to smash our store?"

Madam Li sneered and said, "Go ask Qiao Linxi."

"How did Boss Qiao offend you?"

Madam Li said, "If she hadn't seduced my son, why would he have insisted on marrying her? And now he's run away from home because of her."

"Mrs. Li, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to do this? Your son likes Boss Qiao and wants to marry her, so this is also her fault?"

"Who made her look so seductive? My son wants to become a monk because of her, so she can't stay in Lanqing City anymore."

After saying that, Madam Li raised her chin and said, "Let's go to Changfeng Academy..."

"Oh my god, Madam Li, you are going too far. Not only did you smash someone's store, but you even went so far as to smash Changfeng Academy. There are children everywhere there. Is there any law here?"

A customer who was kicked out questioned Mrs. Li angrily.

"The king's law? In Lanqing City, my Li family is the king's law. Let's go to Changfeng Academy."

"Mrs. Li is so arrogant."

After a loud shout, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves.

Looking back, I saw a woman in red and a white robe riding a horse galloping towards me on the snow.

"It's Boss Qiao!"
