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

The maid knelt down and saw Qiao Wan'er's appearance. She understood why her mistress was doing this. Qiao Wan'er had no idea of ​​the importance of this.

"I'm sorry Miss Qiao, my young lady was beaten by the master, I have to go and see."

The maid stood up and walked a few steps into the mansion. Seeing Qiao Wan'er's confused look, she felt bad and stepped back, quietly telling her, "Miss Qiao, I want to remind you not to offend Qiao Linxi."

After saying this, he returned home without caring about Qiao Wan'er's reaction.

Inside the mansion, Li Luoyun was sitting in his room, drinking tea leisurely. When he saw the maid come back, he asked, "How is it? Is she gone?"

The maid laughed and said, "Should we go now?"

Li Luoyun sneered: "What a thing! She is worthy of me standing up for her."

"Miss is wise."

Li Luoyun took a sip of tea, looked at the maid and said, "Father told me about Qiao Linxi when he came back from court earlier. Qiao Wan'er was the only one who was stupid enough to confront her head-on. Also, Qiao Linxi must be someone favored by the emperor to be canonized as a princess. Even if she grew up in the countryside, she is still a princess, and we ladies who live on our father's glory cannot compare. The most important thing is that she has Gu Changfeng by her side. How did she offend him?"

"Miss is still very insightful."

When the maid smiled, she pulled the wound on her face and she cried out in pain.

"You are too cruel. Go down and apply medicine."

The maid laughed and said, "How can it be realistic if it's not a little cruel?"

Not long after the maid left, Li Luoyun's father came to her yard.

"Luo Yun, go pick out some gifts, send a letter to the Qiao Mansion, and go meet that Qiao Linxi."

Lord Li couldn't help but shudder when he thought of what happened in the court. It was really not easy for a wild girl from the countryside to receive the emperor's title in her first appearance.

"She has just arrived in the capital. It is not beneath your status to take the initiative to show your good will to her. After all, she holds the title of a princess."

Li Luoyun agreed. She also wanted to see who the woman was who could wear a dragon-shaped jade pendant openly.

Even if her father didn't say it, she had this plan. Gu Changfeng had never seen him care so much about any woman, maybe Qiao Linxi was special.

Since no reinforcements could be found at the Li Mansion, Qiao Wan'er went to the homes of other close sisters, but their situations were the same as Li Luoyun's. Those young ladies found various reasons to send Qiao Wan'er away.

Feeling isolated and helpless, Qiao Wan'er's sense of grievance was infinitely magnified. She squatted in the corner of the street and cried, feeling very pitiful. She became homeless when Qiao Linxi came.

After a long time, Qiao Linxi stood up and walked towards the Xu Mansion.

With Xu Yanzhou's servile attitude, he will definitely help me vent my anger.

The capital city is located under the feet of the emperor and is a gathering place for dignitaries. The Xu family is a marquisate family, but Xu Yanzhou is not the eldest son of the marquisate, so he is not the crown prince.

Moreover, his mother was not the wife of the Marquis, but only a concubine. With this background and status, she was not suitable for the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. But behind the scenes, they were quite compatible.

Although Qiao Wan'er bears the title of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, only her mother knows whose daughter she is in private.

But her mother never mentioned Qiao Wan'er's background, so no one knew who Qiao Wan'er's father was.

Arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, Qiao Wan'er wiped her tears before walking in. The concierge saw that it was Qiao Wan'er and did not stop her.

Xu Yanzhou was preparing gifts in his yard, planning to go find Qiao Wan'er later.

He truly loved Qiao Wan'er. He never despised her background and was tolerant of her.

After Qiao Wan'er entered the yard, she went straight into the house and sat down next to Xu Yanzhou without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Are you crying?"

Xu Yanzhou put down the box in his hand and looked at Qiao Wan'er distressedly: "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"

Qiao Wan'er pursed her lips and said nothing, which made Xu Yanzhou very anxious.

"Be good, tell me what's wrong? I'll take care of it for you."

Qiao Wan'er finally reacted. She raised her face and looked at Xu Yanzhou. Her tearful eyes made Xu Yanzhou's heart ache. He said, "Who bullied you? Say something."

"You..." Qiao Wan'er looked at Xu Yanzhou's anxious expression, and the grievance in her heart was much less. She asked tentatively: "Are you really willing to make the decision for me?"

"Silly boy, we are already engaged. You are my wife-to-be. I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

Xu Yanzhou gently rubbed Qiao Waner's head. Qiao Waner instantly felt that someone was caring for her. She couldn't help but hugged Xu Yanzhou's waist and rubbed against his waist: "Xu Yanzhou, you are so nice."

Xu Yanzhou was not restrained either, but patted Qiao Wan'er on the back: "You are my wife-to-be, so I regard you as a treasure in my hands."

"Okay, tell me what happened."

Qiao Wan'er then told the whole story again with exaggeration. She had told it many times today, so when it came to Xu Yanzhou, it completely changed its meaning.

Originally, she wanted to let Qiao Linxi live in a run-down courtyard, but when she came to Xu Yanzhou, Qiao Linxi became arrogant and domineering. As soon as she entered the Qiao family, she took her courtyard and drove her to live in that run-down courtyard. She also said something like she was the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.

"The Grand Master and the Old Madam don't care either?"

Xu Yanzhou was furious when he heard this. Are Master Qiao and the old lady just going to watch Qiao Linxi bully Qiao Wan'er?

"That Qiao Linxi used her status as a princess to pressure my grandparents, and she even asked my grandfather to beat me."

As Qiao Wan'er spoke, she started crying again.

This time she learned her lesson and did not mention Gu Changfeng again. Before, those young ladies were afraid of Gu Changfeng, so she did not mention him.

"Don't cry, your eyes will be swollen soon, I feel bad." Xu Yanzhou comforted Qiao Wan'er: "I will take you home after dinner, and I will seek justice for you."

"Aren't you afraid of Qiao Linxi?"

Xu Yanzhou sneered: "What's wrong with the princess? Can the princess use her power to oppress others?"

Looking at Xu Yanzhou's appearance, Qiao Wan'er was delighted, and she said that this lickspittle would stand up for her.

Because of Qiao Wan'er's arrival, Xu Yanzhou did not go to the front yard to have dinner with his father and others, but had the food delivered to his room.

In the flower hall of the Marquis' Mansion, when the servant came to report that Xu Yanzhou would not come for dinner because he wanted to accompany Qiao Wan'er, Marquis Xu's face changed, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and agreed.

Madam Hou looked at Xu Yanzhou's mother, the Second Madam, with some joking: "Sister, you have to talk to Yanzhou. He hasn't gotten married yet. Don't do anything that crosses the line."
