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

"It's ready. My husband and I have discussed it and are going to prepare a separate courtyard in the mansion to enshrine the tablets of my brother and sister-in-law. Now we just need to find a reliable gentleman to place the tablets of my brother and sister-in-law on an auspicious day."

I have to say that the work done by the third house was so beautiful that Qiao Linbao and his siblings were deeply moved.

Over in the fourth room, Qiao Lingji seemed to be quite interested in food. After moving into the mansion for a few days, he liked to hang around in the kitchen.

This made the two lonely old people in the fourth room very distressed. They kept saying that they didn't need him to cook, but Qiao Lingji just liked it.

"Grandma, not everyone has a future only by studying. If I can cook well, I will also be very lucky."

The fourth old lady looked lovingly at Qiao Lingji, who was less than twelve years old, and said in agreement: "My dear grandson is right. When the cooking skills reach a certain level, those big families will spend a lot of money to hire him. Even the chef in the palace is more appreciated by the emperor than many masters."

It seems that everyone in the Qiao family is very nice to these cheap grandchildren, except for Old Mrs. Qiao, who is obsessed with getting Qiao Wan'er out.

Is it possible to figure it out?

With the people sent in by Qiao Linxi and the emperor's intervention, Qiao Wan'er's life was in danger.

In the past few days, Qiao Linqin still came to the princess's mansion tirelessly, intending to persuade Qiao Linxi to release Qiao Wan'er, which made Qiao Linxi so annoyed that she simply asked the doorman to stop her from entering the mansion.

Qiao Linqin couldn't get into the princess's mansion, so she went to find the young ladies from the noble families who had been friends with Qiao Wan'er before, hoping to ask them to help rescue her. Among them was Li Luoyun, the daughter of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Seeing Qiao Linqin coming to her with the airs of a legitimate daughter of the Qiao family, Li Luoyun laughed in her heart. Why did she feel like she was looking at Qiao Wan'er when she looked at Qiao Linqin?

"Ms. Qiao, Qiao Wan'er and I are indeed good friends, but there is nothing I can do about this matter."

Li Luoyun looked at Qiao Linqin in distress: "I once went to my father to try to plead for Qiao Wan'er, but he scolded me. He said that as a girl, I should not interfere in these matters."

Li Luoyun interrupted Qiao Linqin's words. After hearing this, Qiao Linqin felt it was not easy to ask Li Luoyun to go find her father again, so she had to think of other ways.

She also looked for many people who had connections with the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, but without exception, they all said they could not help. They also praised Qiao Linqin for her loyalty and righteousness. Qiao Wan'er had occupied the title of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family for twenty years, but she was not angry and even worked hard for her.

In the praise, Qiao Linqin almost lost herself. She felt that Qiao Linxi was sarcastic and mean now. It was just a matter of one sentence, but she insisted on holding on to it.

Maybe Qiao Linqin didn't know that as soon as she left those mansions, those people started to laugh at her mercilessly.

Laugh at her stupidity, laugh at her self-righteousness. Laugh at her inability to distinguish between relatives and strangers.

Qiao Linxi is a princess, and she is a sister of blood. She did not say that she stood on Qiao Linxi's side, but she was still jumping up and down to rescue Qiao Wan'er. Isn't this to make Qiao Linxi an enemy?

Some smart young ladies from aristocratic families have already smelled the scent of conspiracy. Qiao Wan'er can be implicated in the Marquis of Jian'an. Who is behind this? They know it without asking.

Qiao Linqin naively thought that Qiao Linxi was vain and was using a tiger's skin as a banner.

Qiao Linxi still wanted to go to Yunqi Academy to watch the competition. How could she miss this real-life poetry competition?

But there was a small incident before she left. Her personal maids saw that Qiao Linxi didn't use them much and didn't take them with her when she went out, so they knelt in front of her in fear.

The three maids Chunhe, Xiazhu and Qiugui were not from the Imperial Household Department. They were bought from outside by Nanny Wang to serve Qiao Linxi.

She didn't use the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prevent being bribed by others in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After all, Qiao Linxi is now the popular Princess Dingguo, and people who are at the center of the storm will naturally be watched by many people.

When the human traffickers bought the children from the sellers, they would teach them how to serve the masters of the rich and powerful families. The children who were sold had to study hard in the traffickers. If they didn't learn well, they would be sold to the lowest place.

Girls in particular would be sold to prostitutes, so they were all very careful.

Chunhe, Xiazhu and Qiugui are considered to be the best learners. They are smart and pretty, which is why they were bought by Nanny Wang to be Qiao Linxi's personal maids.

"Princess, is it that we have done something wrong and made you unhappy? Please let me know."

Chunhe asked tremblingly.

Qiao Linxi had a headache, looking at the kneeling children. She pulled them up and said, "You did nothing wrong, but I don't like too many people serving me."

"On the one hand, you are still young and should be having fun. The other aunts and uncles will do the waiting work."

They were only eleven or twelve years old. In that civilized era, they were still primary school students who burned their mouths while eating. If Qiao Linxi ordered them around, she would feel guilty about employing child labor.

"But we were bought into the princess's mansion to serve her. If the princess doesn't let us serve her, we will feel uneasy."

Serving people is the maids' job. If they fail to do their job well, they may be sold again, so they are terrified.

Although these children matured early, in Qiao Linxi's mind, she was already in her thirties, both physically and mentally. If she had married earlier, her children would have been as old as these maids.

She was really uncomfortable letting maids who could be her own children wait on her. She was even more uncomfortable to take them with her when she went out, just like taking her own children out.

"Princess, I know you feel sorry for them because they are young, but serving others is their duty. If you don't use them, I'm afraid they will be sold. If they are sold again, they will only end up in prostitution or become wives of poor families."

Nanny Wang had been with Qiao Linxi for more than half a month, and she knew Qiao Linxi's character. She knew that she couldn't bear to use a young maid, but this was the way the world was, and she couldn't change anything.

"If I don't sell it, would anyone dare to interfere in the affairs of my house?" Qiao Linxi was puzzled.

Nanny Wang smiled and said, "Others may not, but I can't say for sure about Manager Gu."

Qiao Linxi: ...

Ahhhh! Damn Gu Changfeng! Like the water from a stinky ditch, it stinks wherever it goes!

Qiao Linxi once again had the urge to escape. She asked the system in her heart if it could take her to another world. A world without madmen. Even a world of beasts would be fine.

Here, it felt like Gu Changfeng was like a virus, everywhere. But he hadn't done any substantial harm to her yet. She felt like she was going crazy.
