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

"Why can't Wan'er be included in the family tree? Our Qiao family has raised her for twenty years, and she has long been a member of the Qiao family. Isn't the relationship of twenty years stronger than that of them just coming here?"

Old Mrs. Qiao pointed at Qiao Linshan and the others and asked.

"Qiao Qingrong, is this the family education of your family? How dare a mere woman question the clan leader in public?"

The old patriarch didn't like Old Lady Qiao in the first place, but since she didn't do anything wrong, he could tolerate her.

But since Qiao Linxi came back, her behavior is really chilling. It would be fine if she didn't care about Qiao Linxi, but now she is even going to put a person with an ominous father on the family tree. Isn't this nonsense?

Although these children have just arrived, they have clean backgrounds and a good relationship with Qiao Linxi. People from other families have agreed, so what else is there to say?

"Don't be angry, Fourth Uncle. She also feels sorry for Wan'er. After all, she has raised her for twenty years and still has feelings for her."

"Feelings are feelings. If you want to raise her, then keep her. No one else has the right to interfere. If you want to put her in the family tree, I will be the first to disagree. What if they find out who her biological father is in the future? Wouldn't that cause chaos?"

The clan leader had also heard the recent rumors, which was why he disagreed to include Qiao Wan'er in the family tree.

"I."

"Well, on such a happy day, don't make everyone unhappy."

Master Qiao interrupted his old wife and told her not to say anything more.

"Now that you are descendants of the Qiao family, you must consider the Qiao family in everything you do in the future. Remember the Qiao family motto and do not do anything that will bring disgrace to the family."

"We will keep in mind the teachings of our great grandfather."

At this point, the family reunion banquet came to a successful conclusion.

After seeing off the guests, Old Mrs. Qiao looked at those smiling faces and felt it was glaring.

When she thought of her precious granddaughter still suffering in prison, she couldn't help but tear up.

"Qiao Linxi, today's matter is over. Go talk to the people in Jingzhao Prefecture and bring Wan'er back."

Old Madam Qiao said to take her away instead of letting her go. In her heart, she believed that it was Qiao Linxi's idea to capture Qiao Wan'er just to resolve today's embarrassment.

"That's probably not possible."

Qiao Linxi's tone was very calm, and he was not affected at all by what Old Lady Qiao said.

"Why not? Didn't you send her in specifically to ease the awkwardness?"

"No." Qiao Linxi shook her head. "Qiao Wan'er threw a tantrum in my princess's mansion last night, insulting me as a princess, so I naturally had to teach her the rules. Also, in addition to insulting the princess, she was also charged with premeditated murder. I'm afraid she won't be able to come back for a while."

"Murder?" Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned. "You didn't have anything to do at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet? How did it become about murder?"

"Mrs. Qiao..."

Meng Qingyu couldn't bear to see Mrs. Qiao's aggressive look, so he stepped forward and bowed before saying, "At the beginning of the year, Miss Qiao sent assassins to kill the children who had just come out of Lanqing City and were preparing to go to the capital. I have found some evidence of this. If the evidence is conclusive, she may be beheaded."

"This... is nonsense."

Old Madam Qiao slammed the table and pointed at Meng Qingyu, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about. My Wan'er is the most obedient, how could I possibly send someone to kill a few wild children."

"Snapped!!"

Master Qiao slammed the table even louder. He glared at Old Madam Qiao and said, "They are already in the family tree and are the grandchildren of our Qiao family. Who are you bullying by calling them wild children?"

After taking a deep breath, Master Qiao continued to ask, "Have you forgotten the human head gift box?"

Old Mrs. Qiao's face turned pale instantly. Of course she had not forgotten.

"So, Wan'er, she really... could this be a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Qiao Wan'er has been targeting me time and again. Are you backing her up behind this?"

"No, I..." Old Mrs. Qiao was speechless. Although she did not instigate Qiao Wan'er to target Qiao Linxi, she always said that she was the eldest daughter of the Qiao family and Qiao Linxi could not compete with her.

"What do you want?"

"I want her to pay for what she did, and that is... death."

Originally, Qiao Linxi didn't want Qiao Wan'er's life, but now that the children were here, she had to clear all obstacles for them.

"You...you...she is the future daughter-in-law of Marquis Jian'an. How could you be so vicious? Aren't you afraid that Marquis Jian'an will cause trouble for you?"

"Him?" Qiao Linxi sneered, "Marquis Jian'an can barely take care of himself, how can he care about an illegitimate daughter who can't be seen in public?"

The whole place was silent. Then Old Mrs. Qiao stood up like crazy and tried to rush to Qiao Linxi, but was stopped by several sturdy old women.

"Did you spread the rumors outside?"

Qiao Linxi did not deny it and admitted it directly.

"How can you be so vicious? Qiao Wan'er is your sister."

Qiao Linxi sneered: "Sister? My father didn't give birth to such a shameless sister. I only have brothers and sisters, and I am the eldest daughter of the Qiao family."

Master Qiao closed his eyes and felt his head buzzing. Judging from Qiao Linxi's tone, Marquis Jian'an might be in big trouble.

"Madam Qiao, you may not know yet, but Xu Yanzhou, the Marquis of Jian'an, was arrested last night on charges of premeditated murder of a member of the royal family, that is, murder of the princess. I believe that Jingzhao Prefecture has already investigated the matter today."

Qiao Linxi did not suddenly target Marquis Jian'an. It was just that the system suddenly reminded her last night that Marquis Jian'an was in trouble and hoped that Qiao Linxi could help.

In this way, the only crime charged against Marquis Jian'an was Xu Yanzhou's intentional murder of Qiao Linxi. After he was imprisoned, he would protect the Marquis Jian'an Mansion from some of the disasters.

This scene is very similar to the method used by Gu Changfeng to frame the Qin family last year when Qiao Linxi first came. Before the emperor took action, he first found a reason to lock people up and then made things worse. Later, it was too late for the emperor to take action. He took the high ground and let them go, and finally saved the Qin family.

"You, you..." Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Linxi in horror. Through her, she seemed to see the moody Gu Changfeng.

"Master, the people from Jingzhao Prefecture have arrived. Please ask the young masters and young ladies to go to Jingzhao Prefecture."

“What is supposed to come, will come.”

Master Qiao sighed, stood up and patted his clothes, "Let's go."

The Qiao family's carriage stopped at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the prefect, Lord Li, was already waiting.

"Your subordinate welcomes the princess."

Qiao Linqin once again witnessed the noble status of Qiao Linxi. Even such a high-ranking official bowed to her, and she felt a little jealous for no reason.

"First of all, congratulations to the Grand Master on the birth of his grandson."

Master Qiao had a dark face: "It's such a strange time, and you're still talking nonsense. Take us in and see what's going on."

"Yes, yes, this is not the right time to congratulate. Let's go in."

Lord Li led everyone into the government office and said as he walked, "Last night, a horse from the Meng residence came to report to the authorities, saying that Miss Qiao Wan'er sent someone to assassinate the descendants of the Qiao family. I immediately went to investigate and have found some evidence. Now I would like to ask the Grand Tutor to come and identify the person."
