"Princess, this person claims to be your sister. Do you want to see her?"

Probably Qiao Linqin and the others, Qiao Linxi immediately had someone bring them in happily.

It turned out to be the four siblings of Qiao Linqin.

"Wow, big sister's mansion is so big, it's really bigger than Qiao's."

When Qiao Linhua entered the mansion, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. "Big sister is so lucky to live in such a big mansion and have so many servants to serve her. These maids are more than those in the Qiao family. I really envy her."

At the end, Qiao Linhua sighed: "It would be great if I were a princess too. If I came to the capital first, could I also be a princess?"

“When you paint, don’t look left and right as if you have never seen the world.”

Qiao Linqin was keeping her composure, but seeing Qiao Linhua looking around, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"I have never seen such a big house. How can our mansion in Lanqing City be this big?"

Qiao Linhua didn't feel ashamed at all, she just felt amazed. The maids and servants in the princess's mansion were all so well-mannered and walked so gracefully.

Moreover, they didn't look around and didn't show any curiosity when they saw the four of them.

They soon arrived at Qiao Linxi's yard, and the four siblings were very happy to see Qiao Linxi.

"I was in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't have time to talk to you properly. Please sit down. Nanny Wang will prepare some snacks."

Qiao Linxi sat up from the bed, walked to the outer room, took Qiao Linhua's hand and looked left and right, jokingly saying: "Oh, our Huahua has grown taller. After getting dressed up, she looks like a real little princess."

"I am originally a little girl."

Qiao Linxi smiled: "Yes, still a little princess."

"Big sister, you can only see the painting, not me. I am now... a handsome young man."

Qiao Linshu raised his head proudly, as if to say, "Praise me now, praise me now."

Qiao Linxi laughed, reached out and touched Qiao Linshu's head, and said, "Yes, our Linshu is now a young master."

Several children chattered about what happened during the time when Qiao Linxi was away, and naturally they also mentioned that Qiao Linqi passed the provincial examination and was now a scholar.

"Wow, Lin Qi is amazing. He is already a scholar at the age of nine. He is truly a genius."

Qiao Linxi couldn't help but marvel that Qiao Linqi had done a great thing without making any noise.

She also asked whether he was used to living in the Qiao family.

Qiao Linqin hesitated to speak, which made Qiao Linxi laugh: "Linqin, just say whatever you want to say, don't be hesitant. In my place, as long as it's not outrageous, you can say it."

Qiao Linqin thought for a moment and said, "Sister, everything is fine in the Qiao family, except that grandma fell ill today."

"Fell sick?" Qiao Linxi was surprised, then she looked at Qiao Linqin and suddenly laughed. Could it be what she guessed?

Sure enough, Qiao Linqin spoke again.

"Sister, grandma has fallen ill because of Sister Wan'er. You see..." Qiao Linqin hesitated for a moment: "Can you talk to the government and have Sister Wan'er released? This way, grandma's heart knot will be untied and she will naturally get better."

"Qiao Linqin, do you know what you are saying?" Qiao Linxi frowned, "Did Old Madam Qiao ask you to say this?"

Not only Qiao Linxi frowned, Qiao Linqin did the same. She added, "Sister, when we first arrived in the capital, our grandmother fell ill. Outsiders will inevitably spread rumors that we are siblings and that we are not related. This will have a bad influence. On the other hand, if you just say a few words and are willing not to hold Sister Wan'er responsible, Sister Wan'er will be able to come out. Grandmother will be cured. If others knew that Sister was unwilling, they would probably say that Sister was unfilial. If rumors of the Qiao family's grandson being unfilial spread, it would have a huge impact.

The other siblings have grown up and are going to discuss marriages one after another. If they are labeled as unfilial, it will probably have an impact. The older generation values ​​filial piety. Who would dare to marry the unfilial children of the Qiao family? "

Qiao Linxi was amused and looked directly at Qiao Linqin: "Do you know what you are saying? You want me to let go of the people who hired someone to kill you? Qiao Linqin, stop joking. I had Qiao Wan'er arrested to kill her."

"Although Sister Wan'er did something wrong, she must have known it was wrong. Besides, we are fine, aren't we? Big sister, go and ask the government to release Sister Wan'er. Isn't it good for the family to live in harmony? Not to mention Sister Lin Shan, she is already fourteen years old and will be a marriageable girl next year. If others spread the rumor that the daughter of the Qiao family is unfilial, her marriage will be bumpy."

"Haha, Qiao Linqin, I didn't expect you to be so saintly that you would actually let go of the person who killed you. Have you ever thought about this? At the beginning of the year, if Yue Li and I hadn't arrived in time, the grass on your grave would have been taller than the people."

Qiao Linqin wanted to say something, but Qiao Linqi quickly pulled her sleeve and said, "Second sister, stop talking."

"I don't think Qiao Linshan's marriage will be affected. Are you afraid that it will affect you?"

Qiao Linxi rubbed her chin and said, "Let me guess. You are not Xinyue Xiao... the Sixth Prince, right? You are worried that you will be accused of being unfilial and will not be able to marry the Sixth Prince and become a royal wife, right?"

Qiao Linqin didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement with Qiao Linxi's words.

"Qiao Linqin, you must be out of your mind. How dare you covet the Sixth Prince? You don't deserve it!"

Qiao Linqin was not convinced by this. She raised her head and said, "Why am I not worthy? I am the grandson of the Grand Tutor. Why can't I covet the Sixth Prince?"

"Look, you're so proud. Have you forgotten who your mother is?"

Qiao Linqin was stunned: "Mother..."

"Do you know who Yue Qingrong is? She is the granddaughter of the high priest of Dongyue. She attempted to murder the emperor at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and was captured by the emperor and sent back to Dongyue."

"What does this have to do with our mother?" Qiao Linqin was puzzled.

"Then let me be frank. Your mother is also from Dongyue, and she is the daughter of the high priest. You have Dongyue blood in your veins. The Sixth Prince may try to seize that position. Do you think he will give up a legitimate Kyoto noblewoman and marry you, a fake daughter from the countryside with Dongyue blood in your veins?"

"I...I am a legitimate descendant of the Qiao family."

Qiao Linxi looked down on him again, "What's so great about Qiao's grandson? Is he superior to others? I advise you to give up this idea, because Da Yue and Dong Yue have already torn their faces apart, and they will probably go to war soon. Do you still think that the Sixth Prince will marry a woman from the enemy country? He is not stupid."

Qiao Linqin was stunned by what she said, her eyes slightly red, but she still didn't want to give up, and said persistently: "Big sister, you can't become a princess and ignore grandma's life or death. This will make people poke your back. You only need to say a few words, and you can easily let sister Wan'er come out and grandma recover. Why don't you want to?"

"Shh!"

Qiao Linxi swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground and asked Qiao Linqin sternly: "Are you questioning me? What qualifications do you have to question me?"
