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

At the beginning, Qiao Wan'er did not take Qiao Linxi seriously, and even thought that Qiao Linxi was just a country girl. How could she compare with her, a delicate lady who was loved by everyone?

But the head yesterday really frightened her. That person was none other than the one she sent to kill the wild children.

The man's head was cut off, which meant that the assassination failed and Qiao Linxi knew that it was her who sent the person.

Did he suddenly come to the capital to seek revenge?

If she and Qiao Linxi stood on opposite sides, whose side would the Qiao family stand on?

"I don't know whether it's true or not. Your grandfather hasn't come back yet, so he only sent a servant to pass on the message."

When she heard that Qiao Linxi was coming to her house, Mrs. Qiao felt a little uncomfortable. That child was full of thorns, and she didn't like him.

"So, grandma, do you want to prepare lunch?"

Seeing that Old Madam Qiao's face was not very good, Qiao Wan'er was happy in her heart, because she knew that Old Madam Qiao did not like Qiao Linxi.

But she still advised Mrs. Qiao: "Grandma, you should tell them to prepare lunch. Qiao Linxi is the granddaughter of the Qiao family and my sister. She came to the capital and cannot be left without a place to eat."

Looking at Qiao Wan'er's sincere face, Old Mrs. Qiao felt more and more upset.

"Grandma, go tell the kitchen staff. I'll ask the servants to clean up a yard. Otherwise, when Qiao Linxi comes back, there won't be a decent yard, and people will gossip about it."

Old Madam Qiao sighed, took Qiao Wan'er's hand, and patted the back of her hand: "Hey, you are still sensible. I don't know how Zijin taught Qiao Linxi. She didn't go back to the mansion after coming to the capital. Instead, she ran to the palace. The palace is a den of dragons and tigers. Can you just enter it casually? I really hope she didn't cause trouble for the Qiao family."

"Don't worry, grandma. Qiao Linxi is a sensible person and won't cause trouble for the Qiao family. If anything does happen, I will share the responsibility."

Looking at the considerate and sensible Qiao Wan'er, Old Mrs. Qiao felt very relieved. She patted the back of her hand again and then stood up to instruct the servants.

The moment Old Lady Qiao left, Qiao Wan'er's face immediately fell and she returned to her own yard.

"You guys, go clean up the west yard and let the village girl live there."

When the maid heard Qiao Wan'er's instructions, she was surprised, because the West Courtyard was the most remote and desolate courtyard in the entire mansion.

"Go ahead, what are you standing there for? Huafang Pavilion in the west courtyard faces south and is quiet, with good lighting. It's the best place for Qiao Linxi to live."

Qiao Wan'er mentioned several advantages, but she didn't mention that the yard had not been taken care of for many years and was in a very desolate state.

The maid didn't dare to go against Qiao Wan'er's wishes, so she took the order and went to Huafang Pavilion with a few people.

Huafang Pavilion, although the name sounds nice, is very desolate. The Qiao family has only three owners, and the servants can't live in so many houses, so no one takes care of it.

Pushing open the door of Huafang Pavilion, we saw weeds growing inside and spider webs hanging under the eaves.

The maid sighed and told the boy who came with her to clean up.

This yard had been abandoned for too long, and it would take a while to clean it up. The maids and servants could only repair the road first, wipe the furniture in the room, and then make the bed.

After doing all this, it was already noon. Qiao Wan'er had sent someone over to tell them to wait in the front yard, saying that Qiao Linxi would be back soon.

The servants were very curious about this young lady whom they had never met before and didn't know what she looked like.

Previously, we only knew that the old master and the old lady had a son who ran away from home for 20 years. But in the past two years, there was suddenly news that there was news about the eldest young master. This year, it was even said that the eldest young master had several children outside and was going to return to the Qiao family this year.

The maids and servants were all very curious. Would a child who was raised in the countryside be rustic? At first glance, he looked like a bumpkin from a remote and poor place.

They would definitely feel a little aggrieved if they had to serve such people in the future. Although they were servants, they were also servants of wealthy families, and their food, clothing and daily expenses were better than those of ordinary people.

In the front yard, Mrs. Qiao watched as the dishes got cold. She had changed the dishes three times, but no carriage came. She became increasingly angry.

Qiao Wan'er supported Old Madam Qiao and looked towards the gate of the mansion, wondering, "Why hasn't he come yet?"

Seeing that Old Madam Qiao looked unhappy, Qiao Wan'er frowned slightly, and then said to Old Madam Qiao in a comforting tone, "Grandma, don't be angry. This is Qiao Linxi's first visit, and she may want to show off her power to the servants. She is afraid that after she enters the mansion, the servants will bully her because she comes from the countryside."

Qiao Wan'er's words seemed to comfort Old Mrs. Qiao, but in fact they were adding fuel to the fire. As a result, Old Mrs. Qiao's face became even uglier.

"Is she trying to intimidate the servants? She is clearly trying to embarrass me. She hasn't even returned to her ancestral home, and she's acting like this. If she enters the mansion, what will happen? She will show off her power over me."

"No, how could Qiao Linxi bully my grandmother? You are the elder."

Old Madam Qiao snorted coldly, "What elder? If she still had me as her grandmother in her eyes, she wouldn't have entered the palace without even saying hello when she arrived in the capital. And she wouldn't have kept us waiting so long now."

"Maybe something delayed him."

Old Mrs. Qiao had a gloomy face and ordered the servants to go and see if Old Master Qiao had returned.

Not long after the servant ran out, he ran back and said breathlessly: "Madam, the old master's carriage is almost at the gate of the mansion."

Old Mrs. Qiao's expression eased a little and she ordered the servants to set the food again.

Outside the mansion, Old Master Qiao got off the carriage first, then walked to the carriage behind: "Princess, we're here."

Although Qiao Linxi is his granddaughter, she is a princess canonized by the emperor and a half-royal member. She still has to be respected by others.

Qiao Linxi lifted the curtain and stuck his head out to take a look, then bent down and got out of the carriage.

"Princess, please..."

Old Master Qiao took a step back and gestured for invitation.

"Taifu, please go first."

Qiao Linxi was humble. This was Qiao Linqin and their grandfather. Although she was a princess appointed by the emperor, she was still a junior. She still understood the principle of respecting the old and loving the young.

Old Master Qiao did not refuse, and took a step forward and led Qiao Linxi through the gate of the Qiao Mansion. Behind him, there were a few people left by Gu Changfeng.

After entering the mansion, Old Master Qiao took Qiao Linxi straight to the flower hall in the main courtyard. By this time, he was already so hungry that stars were appearing in his eyes.

After entering the main courtyard, Old Master Qiao saw that all the servants of the Qiao family were gathered there. He was delighted, because these servants were there to welcome Qiao Linxi.

"Let me introduce to you all. This is the eldest daughter of our Qiao family, Qiao Linxi. You must treat her like you would treat me and the old lady. If I find out that anyone is pretending to obey you but actually disobeying you, don't blame me for being rude."
