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

Back in the main hall, Qiao Linxi thought for a moment and whispered to Madam Meng, "Aunt, can you send an invitation to Prince Zhao of the Prince's Mansion in my name? Just say that I'm holding a housewarming banquet today and invite him to be a guest."

"Sister Lin Xi..."

Although Qiao Linxi's voice was not loud, it just happened to reach the ears of Qiao Linshan who was sitting next to him. Qiao Linshan was startled and looked shocked. She looked at Qiao Linxi in disbelief and thought, "Is this... so direct?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Qiao Linxi winked at Qiao Linshan to reassure her.

Madam Meng was also stunned: "Today?"

"Yeah." Qiao Linxi nodded.

"Princess, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to invite them today. The banquet has already started. How about tomorrow?"

Qiao Linxi thought about it and realized that it was true. How could one invite guests after the banquet has already started?

Madam Meng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for the princess to only invite Prince Zhao? Why don't we hold a tea party and invite more young masters and ladies? That won't be too abrupt, right?"

"That's good." Qiao Linxi's eyes lit up. Only people born and raised in Beijing would know this. Otherwise, if she followed her own ideas and only invited Zhao Dongqing, it would cause misunderstanding.

"Well, I don't understand these. I'm sorry to bother you, aunt."

"No way, now that we are a family, I naturally have to consider the princess."

Suddenly, Qiao Linxi leaned towards Madam Meng Er, hugged her, and said in a coquettish voice: "Oh, oh, auntie, you are so kind."

Although Qiao Linxi was already over 30 years old in that world, she was still a little princess who would hug her mother and act like a spoiled child. After coming here, she changed from a little princess to an umbrella, protecting her brothers and sisters from the wind and rain.

The motherly love that she had been missing for two years was finally found in Madam Meng Er. She hugged Madam Meng Er, sniffed, and felt a little wronged and wanted to cry.

A person who has nothing to do with her is tied to her because of a calculation. Now she still considers her in everything, which really touches Qiao Linxi.

Mrs. Meng Er is really very nice.

If it was someone else, and someone plotted against her son, she would be lucky if she didn't hate herself. Even if she didn't hate him, she couldn't do what Madam Meng did, abandoning her husband and living in the princess's mansion to take care of her future daughter-in-law.

The people here, let alone the future daughter-in-law who is not married yet, even if she is married, they have to act like a mother-in-law. Not to mention taking care of the daughter-in-law, it is good enough if they don't torture her.

They are all women, and they are all making things difficult for women. Isn't there a saying that most of a woman's suffering comes from another woman?

Mrs. Meng was suddenly hugged by Qiao Linxi, and her body froze. She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to react.

However, Qiao Linxi smells so good and is so soft. Is this my daughter?

Among all the young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, is there any one like Qiao Linxi who still hugs her mother and acts coquettishly at her age?

After the age of three or five, they are forced to grow up, learn rules, etiquette and needlework. Even between the closest mother and daughter, there is a layer of distance called rules.

"Well, this is what a concubine should do. Princess, you don't have to do this. Get up quickly, or you will be laughed at."

Madam Meng patted Qiao Linxi's back gently and said, "There are so many people watching."

Qiao Linxi looked up with red eyes, which scared Madam Meng. Why was she crying?

Then I thought about it and understood a little bit.

Although she had not paid much attention to Qiao Linxi before, she heard some things later. It has been more than a month since she came to Beijing, and the attitude of the Qiao family is really disheartening.

Imagine a girl whose parents have both passed away, who has gone through so much hardship to find her grandparents. But her grandparents have this attitude, how can she feel good?

Now there are rumors that Qiao Linxi is not a child of the Qiao family. If it were her, she would definitely feel that she has been abandoned by the whole world.

Looking at Qiao Linxi's red eyes, Mrs. Meng felt like laughing. Although Qiao Linxi was a princess, she was too innocent, wasn't she? She was moved to tears by just a little warmth. It was easy to be deceived like this.

After all, there are so many people out there who are good at sweet talk.

“It’s just some emotion!”

Qiao Linxi sat up straight, rubbed his eyes casually, and said, "Aunt, you are a person who has no blood relationship with me, but you treat me sincerely. This is my luck."

"Princess, what are you talking about? We are about to become a family. I just hope that you and my son Qingyu will be well in the future. I will be satisfied."

After saying that, Mrs. Meng looked towards Meng Qingyu.

Coincidentally, Meng Qingyu also happened to look over and look at Qiao Linxi.

Looking at that familiar look, Qiao Linxi was startled.

Is he really not Meng Qingyu?

Meng Qingyu would not have such a deep look that could draw people in. Although Meng Qingyu's eyes were not the kind of clear and stupid ones, he was only eighteen years old after all. Even if he was very stable, there was a flickering flame in his eyes, and some restless factors.

Instead of being like it is now, it is like a pool of spring water that has been dormant for a thousand years, without any ripples.

Qiao Linxi's grip on Madam Meng's hand suddenly tightened. She was familiar with that look.

Through his deep eyes, Qiao Linxi saw a white figure.

She has no memory of the period from Qingyun Sword Sect back to the human world, so something must have happened during that time.

She asked the system, but the system was vague and did not reveal any useful information. This made Qiao Linxi more and more certain that Meng Qingyu was not the real Meng Qingyu.

After the Meng family members left, Qiao Linxi saw that it was still early, so he wanted to confirm his thoughts.

"You...are going to the Gu Mansion?"

When Meng Qingyu heard Qiao Linxi say that she was going to find Gu Changfeng, he was surprised, then looked at Qiao Linxi with a half-smile: "Are you so bold? Going to find another man in front of your future husband. Xixi, do you have any place for me in your heart?"

The sarcastic words made Qiao Linxi frown, and he said casually: "What's wrong with you? Have you been possessed?"

Meng Qingyu on the opposite side moved his hand hanging by his side slightly, then raised it and pinched Qiao Linxi's chin, making her look up and look at him.

"You said I was possessed? Then by whom? Or, who do you want me to be possessed by?"

Qiao Linxi slapped Meng Qingyu's hand away, "If you don't go, I'll go by myself."

"Of course I will. As a man, how can I allow my future wife to find another man alone?"

The two got on the carriage. Where Qiao Linxi couldn't see, Meng Qingyu curled the corners of his mouth. It wasn't easy. Qiao Linxi had been in the capital for more than a month, and now he remembered to go to Gu's Mansion.

I wonder if she will be surprised when she arrives at Gu Mansion?
