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

Chapter 232 What does it have to do with me?

When Shi Yiqian woke up in the morning, he touched the jade pendant under the quilt, but he did not take it out.

The jade pendant made him feel warm and comfortable all over.

After several officials left, Shi Yiqian's mother came.

Shi's mother sneakily opened the door and saw Shi Yiqian sitting on the bed. She was stunned at first, and then asked, "Why are you not dead?"

When he saw his mother, there was no expression on Shi Yiqian's face. He did not reply, but got out of bed and prepared to wash up.

"How come you're not dead?"

Shi's mother's face was clearly filled with disappointment. Shi Yiqian was not dead, so... the compensation promised by Miss Li was gone, right?

"Why? Is the mother disappointed that her son didn't die?"

Shi Yiqian did not miss the expression on his mother's face, and he laughed at himself.

How could he still expect his mother to care about him? All she cared about was money.

"no no……"

Shi Yiqian spoke, pulling Shi's mother out of her disappointment. When she saw her son standing in front of the window washing up, something suddenly came to her mind.

She stepped forward, took Shi Yiqian's hand, and said, "Miss Li said that if you wake up, she will ask her father to find you an official position. From now on, I will be the old lady of the official family. Come on, you and I will go to the Li Mansion. You are the lifesaver of their young lady, and they should fulfill the promise they made yesterday."

Shi Yiqian shook off his mother's hand and said coldly: "I won't go to find Miss Li."

"How can that be possible? If you don't go, how will they know that you are awake? If you don't go, how can you get that official position back?"

"Maybe, I can even marry a young lady from an official family as my daughter-in-law."

Mother Shi seemed to have thought of that scene, where a young lady born in a wealthy and powerful family was serving her with her head bowed and her eyes lowered. Those days were like those of a god.

Shi Yiqian ignored his mother who was immersed in her own fantasy. After washing up, he opened the door and walked out.

"where are you going?"

Shi Yiqian: "It has nothing to do with you."

Shi's mother came forward again and held Shi Yiqian back: "You are not allowed to go anywhere today. You must come with me to the Jingzhao Yin's residence. You saved their eldest daughter, so can't you get an official position?"

How could Shi Yiqian listen to his mother? He shook her off with a little effort.

He left the inn regardless of her throwing a tantrum.

In his mother's eyes, money is more important than her son's life.

All the money he got from deceiving those women fell into her hands.

Shi's mother often said that her son was handsome and would definitely marry a girl with a strong background.

But she never thought that with her shameful behavior, which was more disgusting than the rats in the stinking ditch, how could she marry those girls of prominent status?

"sit down."

The gentle voice pulled Shi Yiqian out of his unbearable memories. He greeted Old Mrs. Qiao before sitting down.

Although Mrs. Qiao didn't like Qiao Linxi, she was a stickler for rules and didn't chase Shi Yiqian away.

Looking at the elegant Shi Yiqian, Qiao Wan'er felt a little sour.

When Qiao Linxi first arrived in the capital, she might not have known that Shi Yiqian was the man that all the women in the capital wanted to marry.

He is gentle and has excellent conversation skills, especially his gentle appearance, which makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze and it is very comfortable to get along with him.

Not to mention that he is good at reading people's expressions and knows how to take care of girls' emotions.

If he were not a commoner, the threshold of his house would have been broken countless times.

The saying "not talking while eating or sleeping" does not exist for Qiao Linxi. She feels that it would be very depressing if so many people were eating together without talking.

After she drank a mouthful of porridge, she glanced back and forth between Qiao Wan'er and Xu Yanzhou. She couldn't help but say, "Qiao Wan'er, I think you should seriously consider what I just said."

Qiao Wan'er didn't respond, but Xu Yanzhou became curious. He heard what they were talking about when he entered the room just now, but his arrival interrupted her.

"Mr. Xu, I suggest you go back and ask your father if he knows Qiao Wan'er's mother."

"Puchi..." Qiao Wan'er looked at Qiao Linxi as if she was a fool: "Qiao Linxi, are you stupid? I've already told you that our mothers are sisters. My mother is the sister-in-law of Xu Yanzhou's father. How could he not know her?"

Xu Yanzhou also nodded and said, "Indeed, Wan'er's mother is my aunt, and my father knows her."

"The knowledge I'm talking about is not just simple knowledge, but..."

After a pause, Qiao Linxi continued, "I didn't want to meddle in your affairs and offend you. My brothers and sisters will come to Beijing to live in the future, and it will not be good to offend you. But if I don't remind you, I will feel uneasy."

"Princess, what do you mean by this?" Xu Yanzhou asked.

"What could she mean by that? She's just jealous that I can marry you, so she's spouting nonsense saying that we are half-siblings."

Qiao Wan'er glared at Xu Yanzhou in anger. What was he doing? How could he look at Qiao Linxi like that?

This made her sense a hint of danger.

Men are mainly attracted by sex and can't take their eyes off beautiful women.

She said that Qiao Linxi was jealous. Wasn’t he seducing Xu Yanzhou in front of her?

Xu Yanzhou's face froze. He didn't know Qiao Linxi, and Qiao Linxi didn't look like he was jealous of her as Qiao Wan'er said.

Qiao Linxi would not say such annoying words for no reason. There must be something fishy about it.

It seems that he has to go back and ask his father about it.

If what Qiao Linxi said is true...

that……

Xu Yanzhou thought for a moment and realized that if he and Qiao Wan'er were half-siblings, they really couldn't be together.

Qiao Xu's family is already engaged, so if that's the case, will his bride be changed to Qiao Linxi?

Replace it with Qiao Linxi who has the title of princess.

If I marry a princess, my status in the Xu family will rise greatly, and maybe I will even become the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Xu Yanzhou looked at Qiao Linxi with more eagerness. But his face still fell, and he pretended to be angry and said: "If there is no real evidence, Princess, please don't make up nonsense. Wan'er and I grew up together. That is the relationship between childhood sweethearts. If the marriage is ruined because of your words without evidence, our Xu family will never let it go."

"What if it's true?"

Qiao Linxi looked at Xu Yanzhou and smiled, saying, "The easiest way to test whether there is a blood relationship is to drop blood. Mr. Xu, you know that, right?"

"If it is finally confirmed that I am talking nonsense, then as an apology, I will give Qiao Wan'er a few more dowries."

Xu Yanzhou asked: "If what you said is true, what will you do?"

Qiao Linxi laughed: "If it's true, what does it have to do with me?"
