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

"What nonsense?"

Master Meng slapped Meng Qingyu on the back of his head. "Even if your sword manual is a peerless sword technique, our Meng family will never let your eldest brother, who is already married, become a husband. Since ancient times, only sisters have married together, how can brothers marry together?"

"Ahem..." Minister Meng coughed and said, "What I mean is that our Meng family's side branches also have some talented children. They can enter the princess's mansion."

"Grandfather..." Meng Qingyu looked at Minister Meng in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"The princess likes young and handsome men. The men of our Meng family are all good, so there is no need to give them to others. Besides, they can help you a little when they enter the mansion."

"Grandfather, do you mean to send a few Meng family members to the princess's mansion to consolidate my favor? Oh my God, Grandfather, your idea is too horrifying."

"Ahem," Minister Meng's face turned red, but he still refused to admit that this was his idea. He also said, "What do you mean by consolidating your favor? This is called... keeping the good stuff within the family."

To be honest, the sword manual also tempted Shangshu Meng. If more people could learn it, they would be able to create a magical weapon belonging to the Meng family. This would make the Meng family's position in the capital more stable.

"The princess is not that kind of person."

Meng Qingyu was unhappy. What was this saying? Is Qiao Linxi the fat water? Fortunately, my grandfather could come up with this idea to stuff the Meng family's children into the princess's mansion.

"Why not?"

Minister Meng looked Meng Qingyu up and down and said, "Although you are not very capable, your appearance is still ranked among the best among the young masters in the capital. Isn't it because of your appearance that the princess is willing to accept you?"

"No, no!" Meng Qingyu firmly refused to admit that Qiao Linxi accepted him as her consort because of his appearance.

"The princess is a very principled person. Although the marriage between us was not very pleasant, she has chosen me since it was arranged. My appearance has nothing to do with it. Although she likes handsome men, it is just a liking, not a desire to possess them. The guards and servants in the princess's mansion are all first-class in appearance, but the princess has never done anything out of the ordinary. The most outrageous thing she does is probably that she likes to sit in the corridor and stare at those people."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother."

Finally, Meng Qingyu added another sentence.

"Speaking of your mother, she has been in the princess's mansion for a few days. Now that the princess has woken up, you should ask her to come back when you return to the princess's mansion. Otherwise, when I return from the army, there will be no one to make tea."

Mentioning Mrs. Meng Er, Mr. Meng Er was a little angry. What kind of future mother-in-law would stay at the woman's house for several days?

Meng Qingyu was puzzled: "Don't you have a maid?"

Master Meng was angry: "How can a maid compare to your mother?"

"If father misses mother, just go and bring her back. Why are you angry with me?"

Master Meng seemed to be deflated. He said, "What's the point of bringing her back? Won't she still live there after you get married?"

"Father, you can go too? The princess's mansion is so big."

"You..." Master Meng's face turned pale: "You look like a live-in son-in-law, and you even brought your parents with you."

"It's not impossible. Besides mother, there are other aunts and sisters-in-law in the family who can serve grandparents. Father and mother live together in the princess's mansion, so they can help the princess a little."

Such a bastard remark made Mr. Meng raise his foot and kick Meng Qingyu on the butt. "Go back to your princess's mansion, you ungrateful bastard."

Meng Qingyu left in a hurry, but Minister Meng was considering whether Meng Qingyu's words were credible. Their Meng family did have a large population, and they were not short of the second master Meng's family of three to serve them. It would be better to let them go to the princess's mansion. On the one hand, they could help Meng Qingyu, and on the other hand, they could gain face in front of the princess, and maybe Gu Changfeng would take care of the Meng family a little more.

Minister Meng was really moved by that sword manual.

However, this can only be said after Meng Qingyu and the princess are married. Otherwise, letting Mr. Meng move to the princess's mansion too early will make people laugh.

Qiao Linxi in the princess's mansion did not wait for Meng Qingyu's reply, but instead received an uninvited guest.

Mrs. Meng Qingliang submitted a visiting card to the princess's mansion early the next morning, dressed up a little and went to the door.

After entering the princess's mansion, Madam Meng introduced herself. When Qiao Linxi learned that she was Madam Meng Qingliang, she quickly asked whether Meng Qingliang had returned home last night.

"My husband returned home at noon."

"That's good, that's good," Qiao Linxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was really worried that he would go somewhere else. Then I wouldn't be a sinner."

Madam Meng was about to ask about the medicine when Qiao Linxi spoke again, "I told you not to take medicine carelessly. Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

Madam Meng was puzzled and asked Qiao Linxi: "Did the princess give you the medicine?"

Qiao Linxi also nodded honestly: "Yes, I gave it to you."

Madam Meng's face froze. This Qiao Linxi really had no guilt at all. A princess, a future sister-in-law, actually gave her eldest uncle that kind of medicine. Did she have any sense of shame?

"Why would the princess give her husband that kind of medicine?"

Faced with Qiao Linxi's frankness, the tone of her questioning became softer. Madam Meng thought that there might be some hidden story behind this.

"My medicine is for healing. If you are not injured, there will be side effects if you take it. I tried to stop Master Meng yesterday, twice, but failed."

Mrs. Meng became more and more confused. Her husband didn't know Qiao Linxi, so why would he ask her for medicine?

"If that's the case, then it's not the princess' fault. It's my husband who is greedy."

Mrs. Meng apologized generously. If that was true, she would have seemed aggressive by rushing to question him.

But she was very angry if he didn't come to her house. Whose prospective sister-in-law drugged her eldest uncle?

"Sister-in-law, there is no need to be like this. Qingyu and I are about to get married, and we will be a family from now on. I am very happy that you are here. Nanny Wang..."

Qiao Linxi asked Nanny Wang to go to the storehouse and pick out a few pieces of jewelry as a gift to Madam Meng when they met.

Finally, Qiao Linxi got up and went back to her room to get a box of South Sea pearls and handed it to Mrs. Meng.

He said, "Sister-in-law, this pearl was given to me by the Emperor. I am giving it to you now. You can take it back and grind it into powder and take it or you can add eggs or honey to mix it and apply it on your face to improve your skin."

Afraid that Madam Meng would misunderstand her and say that she was old and ugly, Qiao Linxi emphasized again: "Brother Meng and sister-in-law have a deep relationship. Sister-in-law must take good care of herself."

Qiao Linxi spoke in an obscure way. Madam Meng uncomfortably adjusted her collar and asked the maid to take the pearl. She sat for a while and then left.

In the carriage, Madam Meng Shao looked at the jewelry boxes and the box of pearls, feeling melancholy. She asked her maid Cui Yu, "Cui Yu, what do you think Princess Dingguo meant? Are you mocking me for not being as young and beautiful as her?"
