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

Li Luoyun's face turned red.

Isn’t Qiao Linxi really that good?

After several rounds, it was finally the turn of the Sixth Prince Xiao Ji. The task he drew was to ask everyone present a question that concerned him the most.

He turned his gaze to Qiao Linxi.

He has always been curious about how Qiao Linxi, who was clearly buried under an ancient tomb, could still be alive and reborn.

"Then let me tell you a story."

Qiao Linxi took a deep breath, then slowly began to tell his story.

"In another world, everyone is equal. Women can go to school, take the imperial examinations and become officials. There is no hereditary system in the powerful families there. If you want to have something, you must work hard for it. The transportation there is convenient. It only takes half an hour to travel a hundred miles, and it only takes two or three days to travel a thousand miles. It is especially convenient to communicate with each other there. You only need a thing as big as your palm. Even if you are at the ends of the earth, you can talk and meet at any time. There are dozens of floors of buildings there, and people can live in the sky, in the sea, and underground..."

"There was a girl who was the only daughter in the family and was the apple of everyone's eye. She was over 30 but still unmarried. Her parents urged her to get married, which gave her a headache. In order to avoid her parents' nagging, she left home, but she didn't expect to get into a car accident."

"She came to a different world. There had been a severe drought for many years and the people had no harvest. The girl came to a family whose parents had both passed away. As the eldest sister, she took her younger brothers and sisters to escape the famine. On the way, her team was joined by other brothers and sisters, a total of 18 people..."

……

"That time, she failed to escape and was buried under the ancient tomb. It was this disaster that allowed her to return to her world again and bid a final farewell to her parents. Then she came back again."

Qiao Linxi's speech was neither fast nor slow, nor did it have ups and downs, but was very calm. But everyone around was fascinated by what he said.

"So, what about the girl who was originally my alien sister?" someone asked.

Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "She went to that girl's world and was taken home by the girl's parents."

When Qiao Linxi thinks of his story again, his heart still aches.

Under the table, Qiao Linshan held Qiao Linxi's hand. She knew that Qiao Linxi was telling her story.

"So, back then..."

Before Xiao Ji could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiao Linxi: "Okay, next round."

After several rounds of preparation, it was finally Qiao Linshan's turn. She was so nervous that her palms were sweaty.

The task she drew was to express her love to any member of the opposite sex present.

She slowly stood up, placed the cards in front of Zhao Dongqing, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Zhao, I like you."

"Oh……"

Everyone around started to make a fuss, and some even asked Zhao Dongqing to agree to marry Qiao Linshan directly.

Zhao Dongqing clenched his hands under the table again and again, he was struggling.

"Okay, next round."

Qiao Linxi felt that since Qiao Linshan had spoken, there was no need to continue the topic. She thought that she should give Zhao Dongqing some time to think about it.

After playing a few more rounds of the game, the group dispersed.

Meng Qingyu brought a group of people back to the princess's mansion and started practicing swordplay in a wide and flat area, which drew cheers from everyone.

"Oh my god, Master Meng can actually fly with a sword!"

"Is this the immortal sword technique? It's so powerful. I want to join the Qingyun Sect and take Master Meng as my master."

In a quiet place, Zhao Dongqing and Qiao Linshan stood face to face.

"Brother Zhao, I, what I said just now was sincere. I am happy with you."

Qiao Linshan has said this twice, so it is not so difficult to say it again.

"I……"

Zhao Dongqing looked at Qiao Linshan, a girl who was still under the age of marriage. He...

He thought for a long time, and then answered Qiao Linshan very seriously.

"Miss Qiao, do you really like me?"

Qiao Linshan nodded. "Although I come from a humble background, I really like Brother Zhao. Sister Lin Xi told me that your status does not allow you to marry a woman of high status. Would you consider me? Although I was born in a peasant family, I will work hard to improve my value and expand my business. Although I am not as capable and ambitious as Sister Lin Xi, and I cannot become the richest person in Daiyue, I can be a woman with a little money and can be independent."

"Brother Zhao, who would be afraid of your status, but if you marry me, who would be more assured of your palace? Just imagine, if you have a prince's consort like me, even if you want to do something, who will support you? I don't have a prominent status, nor countless wealth. I just have a little money, just enough to be an idle rich man."

Qiao Linshan really mustered up a lot of courage and said a lot. After she finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes and waited for Zhao Dongqing's answer.

"But, I'm so much older than you, seven years older."

Qiao Linshan shook her head: "I don't care."

"But what if I treat you badly in the future?"

Qiao Linshan shook her head again: "I'm not afraid either. I have money and I can make a living."

"Why do you like me?"

"Because you are my light."

……

When Qiao Linxi saw Qiao Linshan again, she saw that her face was blushing and her eyes were flashing with excitement. She knew that Qiao Linshan's matter was settled.

It was worth it that she spent so much effort to set up the stage for her.

Qiao Linshan quietly pulled Qiao Linxi's sleeve and whispered to her, "Sister Linxi, Brother Zhao didn't explicitly agree to my marriage. But he said he won't arrange a marriage this year and will wait until I reach the age of 15 before asking for my opinion. If I still like him next year, he will ask someone to propose marriage."

Qiao Linxi nodded. This was indeed common sense. After all, Zhao Dongqing was the prince, so it was impossible for him to agree to marry Qiao Linshan just because she confessed her love to him.

Oh... did another good thing.

I feel a little happy!

Regardless of whether the matter between Qiao Linshan and Zhao Dongqing was a game or not, it was spread and reached Qiao Linqin's ears.

On the day of the tea party, Qiao Linqin was indeed unable to go to the princess's mansion because of something. That was because Old Madam Qiao heard that Qiao Wan'er had been exiled, and she was so sad that she fell ill.

Wanting to show that she was filial, Qiao Linqin naturally took care of her without taking off her clothes.

Old Madam Qiao's condition improved slightly, and she immediately rushed to the princess's mansion to question Qiao Linxi.

"You know I like Brother Xiao, why don't you help me?"

Qiao Linxi glanced at her and said, "Why should I help you?"

"You are my sister."

"Ah!"

Qiao Linxi sneered: "Really? Who spread the rumor that I'm not the eldest daughter of the Qiao family? Besides, have I ever told you that you and Xiao Ji are not suitable for each other?"

"Why is it not suitable? We have been through life and death together and we know each other well, so why is it not suitable?"

Qiao Linxi rubbed his forehead and analyzed it for her again: "Your mother is from Dongyue. Now the two countries are about to go to war. Do you think he, as a prince, will marry a woman from the enemy country? Besides, the old man is the prince's tutor, which means he is a prince's party. And if you want to marry the sixth prince, you will marry the prince's rival. Do you think the old man will agree?"
