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

"draw……"

Qiao Linqin was a little embarrassed. Why did her sister have so many questions?

"Your eldest sister lives in the princess's mansion. She has been feeling unwell recently. I will send someone to inform her tomorrow that you have arrived in the capital."

"Does my sister have a big house? Is it bigger than this one?"

Master Qiao looked at his little granddaughter with a sparkle in his eyes and smiled, "Yes, it's very big, even bigger than our mansion."

"I also want to be a princess, wear beautiful clothes, live in a big house, and raise lots of rabbits."

"Lin Hua," looking at the innocent Qiao Lin Hua, Master Qiao said earnestly, "A person's status is tied to responsibility. The higher the status, the heavier the burden. In fact, grandfather does not want you all to stand at the top. I understand that it is lonely at the top. I just hope that you can live a safe and happy life."

To be honest, if he had a choice, Master Qiao really didn't want Qiao Linxi to be a princess. He hoped that she would just be a granddaughter of the Qiao family, find a good family to marry into when she was old enough, and live the rest of her life in harmony with her husband.

But now that she is standing at that high place, the responsibilities she has to bear and the storms she has to go through are several times more than those of ordinary people.

Qiao Linxi is too dazzling now, and many things are beyond her control. Even her marriage is controlled by others.

Fortunately, the Meng family is a good family. Although Mr. Meng has not achieved anything, he is worthy of entrusting your life to.

"Oh."

Qiao Linhua didn't quite understand what Master Qiao meant, but she kept her mouth shut obediently.

After the banquet, Master Qiao sent someone to the Qiao family's hometown to explain the matter, and also hoped that he could come tomorrow to be a witness.

The head of the Qiao family had long since stopped caring about affairs, but when the Qiao family reached the generation of Grand Tutor Qiao, only Grand Tutor Qiao was promising, while the others were mediocre, with no merits or faults.

That night, the Princess Mansion received the news from the Qiao Mansion, but Qiao Linxi had just woken up from a coma, and was weak. She drank the medicine and fell asleep again. Madam Meng decided to suppress the news.

"Hey……"

Mrs. Meng Er looked at the sleeping Qiao Linxi and couldn't help sighing. What evil did her son do or was it destined? He jumped into the trap and got a marriage. Although he was the prince consort, the princess had so many brothers and sisters.

In the capital, if a girl has too many sisters and brothers, it is difficult to find a husband. They are afraid that if they marry a wife, she will have to bring a whole family with her.

Since ancient times, every family raising a daughter is to pave the way for a son. Girls are instilled with the idea from a young age that they should help their brothers from their natal family when they grow up, and that their brothers from their natal family are the only ones they can rely on.

This leads to women devoting themselves to their parents' home after they get married.

Including herself, after marrying into the Meng family for more than 20 years, she is still helping her natal family.

Qiao Linxi's dozen or so brothers and sisters are still young and need someone to take care of them. Shouldn't the responsibility of taking care of them fall on his son?

"Madam, stop sighing. The princess is a good person after all. She doesn't look like someone who would only favor her mother's family."

Seeing her mistress sighing, Madam Meng's personal nanny could not help but advise: "I think the princess doesn't have much affection for the Qiao family, so she probably won't take care of the Qiao family in everything."

"Even if she wants to take care of it, there's nothing we can do, right?" Mrs. Meng couldn't explain how she felt about this marriage.

I don't feel satisfied, nor do I feel it's too bad.

Their Meng family is already very large, with the position of Minister of War already reached, so there is no need for their children and grandchildren to arrange marriages for profit.

She had originally planned to find a woman with a simple family background for Meng Qingyu, but who would have thought that before she could make a choice, Meng Qingyu had arranged a marriage for herself.

The next day, when Qiao Linxi opened her eyes, she saw Meng Qingyu standing beside her.

"Why are you here?"

Meng Qingyu quickly helped Qiao Linxi sit up: "Princess, I have already done everything last night. We are just waiting for Jingzhao Prefecture to interrogate Qiao Wan'er and Xu Yanzhou."

"Ah."

"Princess, last night the Qiao family sent word that your brothers and sisters have come to the capital. Today, the Qiao family has changed the wedding banquet into a family recognition banquet, and they want to put your brothers and sisters on the family tree. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Meng Qingyu knew that the Qiao family had not yet included Qiao Linxi in the family tree, and had not even held a family recognition banquet. He was worried that Qiao Linxi would feel uncomfortable.

"Are they all here?"

Meng Qingyu nodded: "They are all here, all eighteen in a neat row."

Qiao Linxi suddenly became happy: "Of course we have to go, you go prepare the gifts, I'll wash up and we'll set off."

"I knew the princess had to go. I have prepared the gifts, but the princess has to drink the medicine first."

When Mrs. Meng saw Qiao Linxi's happy look, she felt inexplicably depressed.

But he still brought the medicine in calmly.

Qiao Linxi picked up the medicine and drank it in one gulp. At the end, he thanked Madam Meng Er.

"Princess, you are embarrassing me. This is what I should do."

"I still have to thank Madam Meng. You and your son are here to take care of me. I would feel bad if I didn't even say thank you."

Qiao Linxi also knew that Madam Meng felt uncomfortable. She would also feel uncomfortable if she were in his shoes, as her own good son had to humble himself in front of another woman.

After washing up, Meng Qingyu helped Qiao Linxi out of the house. After getting on the carriage, she found that there was a thick layer of cushion on the carriage, and even a soft pillow on the carriage.

This detail made Qiao Linxi feel a little warm in her heart. She thought that this must have been prepared by Madam Meng Er.

This was a blessing in disguise for her. If it were in her world, wouldn't people be envious to death?

Her boyfriend took care of her in every possible way, and even her future mother-in-law came to take care of her. She was really touched.

"What happened to the princess? Did you tear the wound?"

Noticing that Qiao Linxi's eyes were a little red, Meng Qingyu asked hurriedly.

"fine."

Mrs. Meng also got on the carriage and handed Qiao Linxi a heater.

"I don't know why this year, it's only the beginning of September and the weather is already getting cold."

Qiao Linxi and Meng Qingyu looked at each other and recalled what Qiao Linxi had said before.

Extreme weather, snowstorm.

"I wonder if the Qiao Mansion has invited anyone from the Ministry of Revenue today."

She had said before that she wanted to promote a method of storing food, but before Qiao Linxi could do any experiment, she stupidly stabbed herself in the back.

"Princess, you are not well yet, so don't worry about these things."

Watching the conversation between the two, Mrs. Meng was a little confused. "What are you talking about? What Ministry of Revenue?"

"Mother, the princess needs the cooperation of the Ministry of Revenue for some matters."

Meng Qingyu didn't say much. The matter about extreme weather was just Qiao Linxi's guess, so there was no need to say it out loud, lest it spread and cause panic.

At the Qiao Mansion, upon learning that Qiao Linxi had arrived, a dozen children were waiting at the door early.

"Princess Dingguo is here." The servant of the Qiao Mansion recognized Qiao Linxi's carriage because there was a sign hanging on the carriage, and it was built according to the princess's ceremonial style and was extremely luxurious.

"Miss..."

Seeing Qiao Linxi getting off the carriage, Qiao Linhua ran forward happily. Just as he was about to rush in front of Qiao Linxi, he was frightened by the sword drawn by the accompanying guard and his face turned pale.
