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

"That shouldn't be the case. We haven't offended them. It's not like our family is rich and they want to kill us for money."

Qiao Linshu thought about it and felt that what Qiao Linbao said made sense, so the two of them went back.

At Qiao Ji Snack Bar, Princess Han Ling is a troublemaker. After eating noodles, she also wants to eat fruits and snacks, which makes Qiao Linxi very annoyed.

Although Qiao Linxi didn't want to indulge her princess' temper, he was also afraid of her guards with swords. Those people in high positions never treated people at the bottom as human beings. Even if Qiao Linxi gave those guards a bite of hot food, they would still only obey the person who exploited them, Princess Han Ling.

Princess Han Ling can order a minor character like Qiao Linxi to be killed, so don't lose your life for a moment of pleasure. Although the county magistrate of Lanqing City respects him very much, it is also for Gu Changfeng's sake.

Now that Gu Changfeng is gone, if Princess Han Ling killed himself, the county magistrate would not necessarily go against a princess just for a small role like himself.

Even if he was killed by Princess Han Ling, he would never get justice for himself.

Not to mention him, even if it came to the emperor, comparing a commoner with a princess, any smart person would know what to choose.

Night fell, and the temperature was a little low during this rainstorm. Just when Qiao Linxi was wondering when this group of people would leave, the person who was still muttering just now walked into the snack bar in the rainstorm.

"Princess Han Ling, I am the county magistrate of Lanqing City. A few days ago, I received a letter saying that Princess Han Ling would arrive in Lanqing City today, so I arranged the post station early in the morning. I waited anxiously but did not see the princess and others. I asked my men and found out that the princess was here, so I rushed here without stopping."

The county magistrate came in a hurry, his clothes were wet, and he just bowed in front of Princess Han Ling.

"How dare you, a mere county magistrate, neglect this princess like this? Do you believe that this princess will report you to the emperor of your Great Yue Kingdom and make sure that your official hat will be in jeopardy?"

Princess Han Ling's princess-like behavior came out again, and Qiao Linxi, who was waiting nearby, felt a headache.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

The county magistrate did not dare to refute, but just kept apologizing. Although Princess Han Ling was a princess from a foreign country, she came to marry a foreign prince. No matter which prince she married in the future, or whether she became a royal concubine, she was not someone he could offend.

What if Princess Han Ling makes things difficult for him in the future?

"Humph! And this village girl, I came to her place to eat because she had cultivated virtue for several lifetimes, but she was glaring at me. Now you can beat her with dozens of sticks on the grounds that she was disrespectful to me. Then I won't hold you responsible for neglecting me."

Princess Han Ling pointed at Qiao Linxi and said this. The county magistrate was shocked. Could it be that Qiao Linxi really had offended Princess Han Ling?

"Han Ling..." Han Yan coughed and looked at the county magistrate apologetically: "Don't be upset, sir. Princess Han Ling was just joking."

"Then..." The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, "Will you two follow me to the post station?"

Han Yan looked at Qiao Linxi beside him and asked, "Here..."

"The conditions here are simple. You two are distinguished guests of the Great Yue Kingdom. It would be unfair to you if you stayed here."

"My inn is too small and shabby to accommodate you two. Princess and Prince, you should follow the county magistrate to the post station."

Qiao Linxi also refused.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Han Yan stood up and prepared to go out. Seeing Princess Han Ling still sitting there, he glanced at her and said, "Aren't you leaving yet? Haven't you made enough noise yet?"

Princess Han Ling pouted and stood up. The guards and maids, just like before, used wooden benches to build a path for Princess Han Ling to return to the carriage.

It was indeed a treatment only a princess could have. Even in such a heavy rain, she was not wetted by a single drop of rain. The rain on the floor was enough to cover her shoes, but her shoes still did not get any stains on them.

After seeing off the two Buddha statues, Qiao Linxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She lay on the table without any image, propped her chin on the table and stared at the heavy rain outside the door in a daze.

"Miss Qiao?" Qin Xiaoqing had been standing by and watching those people tormenting Qiao Linxi, feeling a little unhappy.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he still didn't dare to offend Princess Han Ling. He had little influence in the court and his father was in a state of guilt. If he angered Princess Han Ling, he was afraid that it would not have any good consequences for their Qin family.

"Ah? Is there something wrong?" It took Qiao Linxi a long time to withdraw her gaze from the heavy rain and looked up at Qin Xiaoqing who was standing next to her.

Qin Xiaoqing shook his head: "Nothing."

Fang Yuting, who had been hiding in the corner, waited until Princess Han Ling and the others had left before she dared to come out.

"Miss Qiao, do you think it's time to prepare dinner?"

Fang Yuting is just a woman who was kicked out of her husband's house and all she cares about is three meals a day.

"Go ahead, I'm hungry too."

There are so many people in the snack bar, and Qiao Linxi will not be the one who stands out and takes on all the responsibilities by himself.

"Hey, I'll go cook now."

Fang Yuting responded happily and went to the backyard to cook for everyone.

In addition to Qin Xiaoqing and his son, there were also the maids and followers he brought with him. Strength lies in numbers. The maids were also smart. They knew that their masters' food and clothing expenses were all paid by Qiao Linxi, so they usually helped Fang Yuting to take care of the store. This time was no exception. They helped Fang Yuting to quickly prepare dinner.

Of course, these dinner dishes were those that had not been sold out today, so they could be served with just some steamed rice. This made the eldest lady, Qiao Wan'er, quite dissatisfied.

Seeing that it was the meat that Fang Yuting had not bought in the morning, Qiao Wan'er drooped her face and said, "Fang Yuting, why are you giving me leftovers again?"

Fang Yuting was also very annoyed with this young lady, but she was older after all and it was impossible for her to argue with a girl of eleven or twelve years old.

"Ms. Qiao, how can this be called leftovers? No one has eaten it. You can see that every time guests come, I use a spoon to scoop out the meat. I don't pour in the leftovers. How can it be leftovers?"

Qiao Linxi was very hungry during the first few days after she came here, so she had already told the people in the store not to waste food. She had people collect the leftovers from the customers and put them at the back door, where the hungry beggars or people who had nothing to eat would take them and eat them.

As for the ones that were not sold out and they couldn't finish them, Qiao Linxi would also leave them there for those in need.

"These were fried this morning and have been on the stove all day. They have gone bad. How can we eat them?"
