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

"Manager Gu proposed marriage to the Qiao family. That's a good thing. Before in Baiyun City, they..."

Mrs. Qin, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly interrupted. She realized she had said something wrong halfway through her words and smiled slightly: "They can be considered a perfect match."

Rumors about Qiao Linxi had spread outside the palace. When Madam Qin mentioned it again, everyone knew what was going on. For a moment, everyone looked at Old Madam Qiao with a lot of mockery in their eyes.

"Hey, people from the countryside are from the countryside. She has already given herself to Manager Gu before they even get married. Although she is the eldest grandson of the Qiao family, her behavior is really not worthy of being on the stage."

"It's ok to say that Manager Gu is a normal man, but what exactly is he..."

The other ladies were whispering about it, and for a moment Old Mrs. Qiao's face became extremely ugly.

The Queen Mother suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. They have known each other for a long time. It's not surprising that Manager Gu would propose marriage. But sister, your granddaughter just came back. Are you willing to let her marry off like this?"

"Neither the master nor I can make the decision on this matter. If the princess herself is willing, we, as elders, should not interfere too much."

"Who else could Qiao Linxi marry except Gu Changfeng? She was seduced by the son of the county magistrate of Baiyun City, and her clothes were stripped off and she was sent to Gu Changfeng's bed. There must be no man in this world who can accept a woman who is not innocent, right?"

Qin Wanying's face was filled with resentment as she spoke. She was useless now, so why was Qiao Linxi still so glorious?

Since she entered the palace, she had her hands tucked into her sleeves and placed in front of her belly. Although the ladies noticed something was wrong, they didn't think much of it. They just thought she was acting like a lady from an aristocratic family.

"Wanying!"

Madam Qin pretended to scold Qin Wanying: "You don't even consider the occasion. How can you say such things? Is that what your mother taught you?"

"I think Miss Qin knows something we don't know."

Everyone became curious. Gu Changfeng was just a eunuch, so how could he deprive Qiao Linxi of her innocence?

"Miss Qin, be careful with your words. I'm afraid it's not something that Miss Qin can make up casually about what happened to Princess Huai'an."

Zhao Qinghe had met Qiao Linxi before, and Zhao Dongqing had mentioned Qiao Linxi after he came back. She didn't think Qiao Linxi was the kind of person who would seduce men.

Qiao Linxi is open and honest in her conduct and work, and is not at all comparable to these so-called ladies from famous families.

"Princess Qinghe, everything I said is true, how can it be fabricated?" Qin Wanying immediately retorted.

"This matter dares me to confront Qiao Linxi face to face!"

Qin Wanying's words were so confident that they were like a hammer, finalizing the decision.

"Confront me with what?"

A clear voice came from outside, and Qiao Linxi walked in. After she entered the hall, she saluted the empress dowager and the concubines, and then saluted the ladies.

Finally, he looked at Qin Wanying, his eyes fixed on the sleeve in front of her lower abdomen.

When Qin Wanying saw Qiao Linxi staring at her hands, her face turned pale and she became nervous, fearing that Qiao Linxi would mention that she had no hands.

"Miss Qin, why don't you drink tea? Is the tea in the Queen Mother's Palace not to your liking?"

Qin Wanying's heart skipped a beat. As expected, how could Qiao Linxi give up this opportunity to humiliate her?

"Princess Huaian, please don't talk nonsense. My Wanying has just been feeling unwell recently, and the wife has asked her to eat less snacks."

Mrs. Qin tried to smooth things over and gave Qin Wanying a subtle glare, warning her not to speak carelessly.

"Are you feeling unwell or..."

Qiao Linxi suddenly moved closer to Qin Wanying: "You don't have any hands at all."

"you……"

Qin Wanying's face turned deathly pale. She was so angry at Qiao Linxi that she couldn't speak.

There was also an uproar in the hall.

Qin Wanying actually has no hands. What's the story behind this?

"Why didn't Miss Qin explain to everyone why you have no hands? Do you need me to do it for you?"

Qiao Linxi didn't want to quarrel with Qin Wanying, but she couldn't bear to hear others making up stories about her. Although she didn't care about her reputation and wouldn't lose a single bit of flesh if others said a few words to her, she also knew that this era was harsh on women, and even if she didn't care, she had to consider her brothers and sisters.

If rumors about her spread everywhere, it might affect her younger brothers and sisters.

Qiao Linxi did not give Qin Wanying a chance to refute, and smiled at everyone: "What the ladies and madams are talking about is true. My brothers and sisters were very hungry at the time, so I went to Baiyun City to get some food. I happened to meet Miss Qin, and Miss Qin generously gave me a lot of silver. Later, I was indeed taken away by someone, and as Miss Qin said, I was sent to the bed of Manager Gu. Miss Qin is really my lucky star. When I met her again, she saved me, and then..."

Qiao Linxi said to Qin Wanying with a guilty look: "Miss Qin took my place at that time and saved me from danger, but this angered Manager Gu, so..."

Qiao Linxi gritted his teeth and bowed to Qin Wanying to apologize: "It's my fault that Miss Qin lost both her hands, so I will accept whatever you say. I owe you this."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

Qin Wanying replaced Qiao Linxi's position. Doesn't that mean that Qin Wanying also took off all her clothes and lay on Gu Changfeng's bed, and then Gu Changfeng got angry and chopped off Qin Wanying's hand?

Oh my God, how could Qin Wanying do such a despicable thing?

Qiao Linxi was kidnapped, so you could say she had no choice, but Qin Wanying took the initiative.

Mrs. Qin's face was also very ugly. She wanted to take this opportunity to ruin Qiao Linxi's reputation so as to vent her anger for her daughter. Who could have thought that Qiao Linxi could be so talkative and so tea-like!

Concubine Liang was very excited when she saw Qiao Linxi taking over the role. Qiao Linxi was no pushover. It would be a great help if she could marry the Sixth Prince.

As for the innocence issue, that is not a problem. After entering the royal family, who dares to say anything? The trouble now is Gu Changfeng.

This damn eunuch is so disgusting.

"All right!"

The Queen Mother looked at Qin Wanying and Qiao Linxi with some displeasure, but she didn't scold anyone. She just said lightly: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's go to the theater."

The Queen Mother spoke, and everyone rushed out of Shoukang Palace and went to the Imperial Garden.

Some young ladies were really curious about whether Qin Wanying really had no hands, so they deliberately moved closer to her, pretended to accidentally tie her up, and then accidentally pulled her sleeve.

"what!!"

Qin Wanying was not paying attention and her arm was pulled out, revealing her bare wrist.

Although the wrist was wrapped with a white handkerchief, this still scared the young lady. She had never seen a person without hands, and her face turned pale with fright.

"You fucking bitch!!!"

Qin Wanying was furious, and she could no longer suppress her anger when Qiao Linxi was offended. She raised her foot and kicked the young lady with such force that she was kicked far away and fell to the ground, looking very miserable.

"Ayu," the young lady's mother heard the noise, ran over, helped her up, and then looked at Qin Wanying angrily: "Miss Qin is so arrogant that she actually took action under the Queen Mother's nose."
