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

Qiao Wan'er had changed from her previous gentle appearance and now stood at the door of the princess's mansion like a shrew.

She hated Qiao Linxi to death.

"Miss Qiao, my princess has been feeling unwell recently. Please don't make any loud noises here, Miss Qiao."

Qiao Wan'er was stopped outside the mansion and her face turned green with anger.

How could Qiao Linxi be so lucky? She was obviously a slut, yet she was given the title of princess, and now she is valued by the emperor.

"She's a princess, so what? Does that mean she can slander others at will? She just opens her mouth and talks nonsense."

I don't know who spread the rumor that she and Xu Yanzhou are siblings. Recently, there are so many students who come to participate in the autumn boudoir, and they are all scholars. They are very enthusiastic about such romantic things. Now she can hear discussions when she walks on the street.

This has led to her becoming famous in Beijing recently. Wherever she goes, people recognize her and come up to her and say all kinds of nonsense.

My grandfather and Marquis Jian'an both had their hair turned a lot whiter because of this matter.

Now that the marriage is imminent, they feel like they are being roasted on the fire.

With rumors spreading everywhere, it was difficult for them to make a choice. If they canceled the wedding banquet, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that Xu Yanzhou and Qiao Wan'er were siblings? But why were they siblings? What else was involved behind this, no one could predict.

But if everything goes as planned, and it turns out that they are siblings, they will be drowned in spit.

Qiao Wan'er knew who spread the rumor just by thinking about it. Only Qiao Linxi had suspected and reminded them, so it was definitely her who spread it.

"Our princess hasn't left the house recently, and she doesn't know what's going on outside. If Miss Qiao continues to slander the princess, don't blame me for being rude."

The doorman of the princess's mansion also came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and their indentures were in Qiao Linxi's hands.

Although there was an element of coercion involved, working in the princess's mansion was indeed not bad. There was only one master, Qiao Linxi, in the huge mansion, and Qiao Linxi was very kind to the servants.

For people like them whose fate is held in the hands of others, it is their blessing to meet a good master, and they will naturally protect their master wholeheartedly.

"What qualifications do you, a dead eunuch, have to threaten me?"

Qiao Wan'er was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. How could these dogs treat her like this? Don't they know that she is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor and the eldest daughter of the Qiao family?

"Princess, go and take a rest. I'll go take a look."

Qiao Wan'er's voice was so loud that it naturally reached the mansion. Meng Qingyu told the maid to help Qiao Linxi back to her room while he went out to take a look.

"I'll go."

Qiao Linxi shook her head and went to the door with Meng Qingyu.

She didn't settle the score with Qiao Wan'er. Did she really think she was a soft persimmon to be squeezed?

Meng Qingyu couldn't persuade Qiao Linxi, so he had to help her walk to the door. Madam Meng sighed and followed them.

Qiao Wan'er was so angry at the doorman that she almost started scratching him, but then she saw Qiao Linxi being helped out by a handsome man.

She recognized Meng Qingyu and Mrs. Meng Er behind him at a glance.

Such a harmonious scene hurt Qiao Wan'er's eyes. She could see that Madam Meng was very concerned about Qiao Linxi. Seeing that she walked a little slowly, she couldn't stop worrying.

In contrast, Xu Yanzhou's mother, or her aunt, was lukewarm towards her and even had a bit of disgust.

Why, why does Qiao Linxi have to suppress her in everything?

"Qiao Linxi, you finally came out. I thought you were going to be a coward for the rest of your life."

As soon as she saw Qiao Linxi approaching, Qiao Wan'er started shouting.

"Paws!"

Seeing Qiao Wan'er jumping up and down, Qiao Linxi thought of those killers last year.

It seemed that she was too kind, which was why Qiao Wan'er played tricks on her again and again.

Qiao Linxi is a princess. Although she doesn't like being served, she is always followed by maids and nannies wherever she goes.

Hearing Qiao Linxi's stern order, two sturdy maids immediately came out from behind her, one holding Qiao Wan'er while the other slapped her in the face.

"Ah!! Qiao Linxi, you bitch, how dare you hit me."

The slap turned half of Qiao Wan'er's face red, and the feeling of humiliation rushed out in an instant. She struggled to hit Qiao Linxi, but you silently held her tightly behind her.

"Fight again!"

The two short words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Qiao Wan'er's heart and making her liver tremble.

"I am the Princess Dingguo, who was personally conferred the title by the Emperor. And you, a mere subject's child, can call me by my name at will?"

Qiao Linxi is a princess, with the title Dingguo, but she is more noble than those real princesses.

"Bah! You? A country girl is worthy of waving the banner of a princess and pretending to be powerful?"

Both sides of Qiao Wan'er's face were swollen. She spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed almost crazily.

"Is this princess worthy of you, a person with an unlucky father, and you're the one who gets to say whether you are worthy or not?"

"This princess was personally conferred the title by the Emperor. Are you questioning the Emperor? Do you think the Qiao family members live too long?"

"Qiao Linxi, what are you so proud of? Isn't it just that you were named a princess? You are really using the tiger's skin as a banner to do such a despicable thing."

Qiao Linxi ignored Qiao Wan'er's madness and looked directly at Nanny Wang beside her and asked, "Nanny Wang, if someone insults the princess in public or speaks rudely to her, what crime should they be punished for?"

Nanny Wang replied respectfully, "Princess, insulting the princess in public is a disrespect for the imperial power. The lighter punishment is thirty lashes of the cane, and the heavier punishment is beheading in public to serve as a warning to others."

Qiao Linxi asked again: "What if it was intentional murder?"

"Oh, that's a serious crime. It has to be handed over to Jingzhao Prefecture. If the situation is true, they will be imprisoned at the least and beaten to death at the worst."

"Stop trying to scare me. I just said a few words to you, but you're trying to link it to contempt for the imperial power."

Qiao Wan'er didn't believe that she would really be killed. She still spoke with a strong attitude.

"I just asked the palace maids to wet your clothes at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. If it weren't for my calculations, how could you have gotten such a good marriage?"

"is it?"

Qiao Linxi had not intended to bring up this matter, but since Qiao Wan'er felt that her crime was too minor and insisted on bringing it up, she had no choice but to oblige her.

"Master Meng, you must take Qiao Wan'er to Jingzhao Prefecture now and accuse her of murdering the princess and the grandson of an important official. And..."

Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "By the way, let Jingzhao Prefecture go to Jian'an Marquis Mansion to arrest Xu Yanzhou on the charge that he intended to murder this princess."

"Qiao Linxi, are you crazy? Xu Yanzhou didn't do anything. Are you trying to frame him?"

"is it?"

Another rhetorical question made Qiao Wan'er swallow her saliva involuntarily.

"Princess, is this true?" Meng Qingyu didn't expect that Xu Yanzhou would be involved. He really didn't know about this before.

"It's true. Xu Yanzhou, the son of the Marquis of Jian'an, deliberately murdered this princess, and this princess has witnesses. Go find a young man named Shi Yiqian, and then go to No. 18, Lane 2, South Street, to find a man named Yang. On August 12, it was he who accepted Xu Yanzhou's bribes and drove his car with the intention of hitting and killing me, who was still a princess at the time."

Hearing Qiao Linxi say the driver's name and address so accurately, Qiao Wan'er's body softened. It was over. It turned out that Qiao Linxi knew everything.
