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

There were really a lot of people in the Qiao Mansion. In addition to Qiao Linxi and his 19 siblings, there were also the old couple Wei Cailan, Fang Yuting, and the coachman Zhang Huawei. Together with the people from He Jiangsan's caravan, there were more than 30 people.

With so many people, eating is a big problem, but there is no pressure here for Qiao Linxi. She doesn't even use the food in the system to fill everyone's stomach.

He Jiangsan and his companions were originally members of the Qiao family caravan, but they were not taken seriously and were assigned to Qiao Linxi. However, Qiao Linxi gave them all the tasks and made them important, which made He Jiangsan and his companions completely regard Qiao Linxi as their master.

Therefore, He Jiangsan was in charge of all matters in the mansion. After the academy was closed, Wei Cailan became the housekeeper and managed the mansion in an orderly manner. Qiao Linxi didn't have to worry about anything at all.

There are not so many rules in the Qiao family, so the children are like wild children, running around everywhere.

This made Li Liangbin, who was standing at the door and had not yet walked in, inexplicably envious of them.

And he also saw another side of Qiao Linxi.

Qiao Linxi, who always had a hairstyle like everyone’s best friend, was now pressing a little boy into the snow. She seemed to have become the child who had not yet grown up.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Li? Why are you here at the Qiao Residence?"

A sarcastic voice made the smile on Li Liangbin's face suddenly disappear.

He put his hands in his sleeves, walked around Li Liangbin, and said, "What? Are you planning to come to our house and be our son-in-law?"

"Hey, your mother is really something. If she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place? She only thought of proposing marriage after the Li family has already failed. Do you really think we don't know what your Li family is planning?"

He Jiangsan completely disregarded Li Liangbin's face and said bluntly: "You just want to marry our eldest daughter, and then your Li family's business will not go bankrupt, and the shop under our eldest daughter's name will also move into your Li family. What a pity..."

He Jiangsan sighed, "You two are not destined to be together. My eldest lady might not be interested in you, let alone the young master of the declining Li family. Even when your Li family was at its peak, she might not be interested in you. The man our eldest lady wants to marry must be the best man in the world."

"Well," Li Liangbin said with difficulty, "Boss Qiao deserves the best man in the world. It's me who doesn't deserve it."

"What nonsense are you talking about here?"

After Qiao Linxi and Qiao Linshu had made enough noise, they remembered that they had guests, so they turned back.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Mr. Li is a good man. It's just that we are not destined to be together."

This can be regarded as a positive response from Qiao Linxi to Li Liangbin.

At the dinner table, Li Liangbin's servant wanted to plead with Qiao Linxi many times to let the Li family go, but Li Liangbin kept silent about it, and as a servant he was not in a position to interrupt.

It was not until after dinner that the servant asked Li Liangbin in the guest room arranged by Qiao Linxi: "Sir, why don't you ask for mercy? Boss Qiao is not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong. If you ask for mercy, maybe Boss Qiao will let the Li family go."

"It's useless." Li Liangbin sat on the bed in a daze. "Some things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme. The Li family was prosperous for a while, which made my mother arrogant. There will definitely be a day of decline, but the process has been greatly shortened."

……

It was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was coming tomorrow, but Li Liangbin left. Qiao Linxi did not try to persuade him, because she knew that for some people, it was useless to keep them when their fate was over.

But before he left, Qiao Linxi gave him a secret bag and told him to open it when he couldn't hold on any longer, which might be useful.

Holding the brocade bag that was still warm, Li Liangbin felt like there was something stuck in his throat, but he just nodded and turned to leave the Qiao Mansion.

Looking at the thin back, Qiao Linxi felt a little uncomfortable. When she first met Li Liangbin, he was dressed gorgeously and had a bright look in his eyes. He knew when to advance and retreat, and was a very comfortable person to get along with.

pity……

"Master Host, don't feel sorry for it. If this peach blossom fades, there will be another one. Didn't Master Host say that he would make a lot of money and support an 18-year-old boy?"

Qiao Linxi: So, her next love interest will be an 18-year-old handsome boy?

"Oh, Xiaojiujiu can't reveal the plot in advance."

Qiao Linxi: ...

She never expected that the peach blossoms the system was talking about were not newly blooming, but had always been there, just disappearing and reappearing.

The moment she saw that man, Qiao Linxi finally understood why it had been so successful for her to suppress the Li family over the past two months.

It's all because he was behind the scenes fanning the flames.

On New Year's Eve, Qiao Linxi got up early for the first time ever, asked the children to hang up red lanterns, and cleaned the Qiao Mansion from top to bottom.

She also prepared a lot of fireworks. In her world, fireworks were banned long ago because it was in a big city. Now that she was here, she had to make up for those regrets.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was also very sumptuous. Four tables were put together and everyone sat around it, making it very lively.

After dinner, the children moved a table, put many snacks on it, and gathered around the fireplace waiting for the arrival of midnight. This is called "Shousui".

Everything was normal. Qiao Linxi never expected that when the bell rang at midnight, the children would set off fireworks and a person would be blown up.

A person who disappeared for a very long time, so long that Qiao Linxi almost forgot about him.

"Oh!"

The brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, adding some warmth to this cold day.

"Oh!"

A black shadow fell at Qiao Linxi's feet as the fireworks disappeared.

Qiao Linxi looked at the man in surprise: Can a firework blow up a person?

The person on the ground lay face down for a while before turning his head to look at Qiao Linxi: "Xixi."

"Fuck..."

Qiao Linxi couldn't help but swear. Why was this person here?

"Ah, isn't this that guy? That handsome uncle?"

The man on the ground slowly stood up, looked at the little girl who was covering her mouth, and said with a smile: "Call me brother."

"Gu Changfeng, why are you here?"

This was none other than the perverted eunuch Gu Changfeng. He left in a rage because Qiao Linxi was rumored to be pregnant. How could he appear again?

Is this Gu Changfeng a sticky person? He can't be shaken off no matter how hard he tries?

"Master Host, Gu Changfeng seems to be injured."

As soon as the system reminded him, Qiao Linxi smelled a faint scent of blood and noticed that Gu Changfeng, who always wore a white robe, was now wearing black clothes.

If she remembered correctly, Gu Changfeng's martial arts skills were very high, so how could he be injured?

"This Gu Changfeng is very strange. He doesn't seem like a normal person."

Qiao Linxi: Hmm? Not a normal person, could it be a fox demon?
