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

"Madam, you can't be wrong. This is the way to the Qiao Mansion."

The coachman drove the carriage, moving with difficulty in the snow. The snow never stopped falling, and the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, not even halfway across the wheels, so the speed was very slow.

In such a snowstorm, there was no one on the road. Looking around, it was all white. If it weren't for the trees, the driver wouldn't be able to tell where the road was.

"Mrs. Li, if you had known this would happen, why did you do this in the first place? If you had allowed your son to marry Qiao Linxi as his legal wife, we wouldn't have to come here today."

The matchmaker was wearing a bright red coat, with her hands tucked into her sleeves, and her whole body curled up into a ball.

The wind and snow outside were so strong that the charcoal fire in the carriage was blown out by the wind. At this moment, the temperature inside the carriage was almost the same as outside, which was icy cold.

The matchmaker had no regard for Mrs. Li's face and kept complaining.

"You said you are a person of some importance in Lanqing City, how could you be so confused? If you didn't look down on Boss Qiao and humiliate her by marrying her as a concubine for fifty taels, your Li family wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"Your Li family's shops are almost all closed, right? Regardless of whether this trip is successful or not, I can't lose my money."

Mrs. Li ignored the matchmaker's words and kept staring outside.

But I couldn't help but wonder, could this Qiao Linxi be a monster? Otherwise, how could a little girl have so many good things? Otherwise, why didn't she buy a mansion in Lanqing City and live in a place like this?

Although the road was difficult to travel on, the coachman still drove the carriage to the gate of Qiao's house diligently.

When they arrived at the place, in order to show her sincerity, Mrs. Li got out of the car and went to knock on the door with the matchmaker and maid.

Before the door opened, Mrs. Li heard the laughter of children inside.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it. She continued to knock, and the sound became louder and louder. Mrs. Li's hands turned red from clapping, but no one came.

Just when she was about to give up, she heard footsteps.

The heavy door was opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was none other than Qiao Linxi.

"Boss Qiao."

When she saw Qiao Linxi, Mrs. Li's face looked unhappy.

"Hey, the Li family is still in Lanqing City? It seems that my people are not strong enough."

Mrs. Li was so embarrassed by Qiao Linxi's sarcasm that she wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought of the impending decline of the Li family, she held back.

He forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about, Boss Qiao? We are here today to apologize to you, Boss Qiao."

"Apologize?" Qiao Linxi leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking at Mrs. Li, who had a fake smile on her face and was holding something in her hands.

"Oh my, Miss Qiao is indeed a stunning beauty."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so the matchmaker stepped forward to smooth things over, "She's a good match for Master Li."

After that, the matchmaker rubbed the back of her hands and said, "We are all family, there is no need to make things so awkward. Let's go inside and talk. It's really cold out today."

Qiao Linxi looked at the matchmaker, then at Madam Li, and asked, "Who is a family member of yours?"

"Oh, we are not a family now, but we will be a family in the future. We are here today, firstly to apologize to Miss Qiao, and secondly, to propose marriage to Miss Qiao. The Li family wants to marry Miss Qiao as the legal wife of the eldest son of the Li family."

The matchmaker looked at Qiao Linxi with a smile on her face and said.

"What the Li family means is that after Miss Qiao enters the Li family, the store under Miss Qiao's name will still be managed by you. You see..."

"Did I say I was going to marry Li Liangbin?"

"Qiao Linxi, don't be ungrateful. Our Li family is a well-known family in Lanqing City. They think highly of you by letting a girl like you from the countryside enter the Li family."

Mrs. Li saw that she had come to apologize and agreed to let Qiao Linxi be his legal wife. However, Qiao Linxi was still so ungrateful that she suddenly became angry.

"Haha," Qiao Linxi suddenly laughed, looking at Madam Li and said, "Madam Li, don't you understand the situation? What qualifications does the Li family have to come to my house to propose marriage?"

"Qiao Linxi, aren't you pushing me so hard just for the position of legal wife? Now our Li family has agreed, what else are you dissatisfied with? If our Li family is not as good as before, do you think you can enter our Li family? People who want to marry my son are lining up from the east to the west of the city."

"Then go find those people. What are you doing here?"

Qiao Linxi's patience had run out, and she was about to close the door. The matchmaker knew that this marriage was hopeless when she saw Qiao Linxi's attitude. But the Li family was in such a bad situation now that they were afraid that they couldn't even afford the matchmaking fee. She quickly pulled Madam Li and asked her to apologize to Qiao Linxi. Maybe Qiao Linxi would agree to this marriage because of her sincere attitude?

"Don't make any wishful calculations. Even if Madam Li kneels down and begs me today, I will not agree to marry into your Li family."

Mrs. Li was very angry at this. She pointed at Qiao Linxi and scolded, "Qiao Linxi, don't be so arrogant. If you miss my Liangbin, you will never find someone better than my son in your life. People like you who were born in the countryside are only worthy of marrying a lowly farmer."

"What?"

A burly man walked out of the door. He looked at Madam Li and said, "Madam Li, what did you say? My eldest daughter is only worthy of marrying a lowly farmer?"

The word "young lady" made Mrs. Li sneer: "Young lady, you think you can become a noble and rich lady by making some money. How ridiculous. If it weren't for my Li Liangbin, I wouldn't even look at a girl like you."

"Madam Li, you must have heard that there are always people better than you. Do you know the identity of the person you are constantly belittling?"

"What kind of status does she have? She is just a poor person who has to drag 18 brothers and sisters around to make a living. What kind of status does she have?"

"You'll be scared to death if I tell you." The man straightened his back and said, "My eldest daughter is the granddaughter of the current crown prince's tutor. Not to mention your son, even if it's the crown prince, as long as the tutor says so, he will have to marry my eldest daughter."

"Alright, alright," Qiao Linxi said with an annoyed look on her face, "If you have nothing else to do, just go back. I don't agree with the marriage you're talking about."

After saying that, Qiao Linxi turned around and went back into the house, and the man followed her into the house.

The loud sound of the door closing brought Mrs. Li back to her senses.

"Who is he saying Qiao Linxi is? The granddaughter of the Crown Prince's tutor? That must be fake, right?"

Madam Li didn't know the prince's tutor at all, let alone the matchmaker. She only knew that she had made a wasted trip today.

"Madam Li, I say you can't just give in. Even if Qiao Linxi doesn't agree to marry your son, at least she won't target your Li family. Your Li family's foundation of more than ten years won't be ruined just like that, right?"

"No wonder," Mrs. Li was dumbfounded. Now she completely understood who she had offended.
