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

As soon as Gu Changfeng opened his mouth, the two kneeling family members felt their blood solidify instantly, their hearts stopped beating, and their whole bodies became cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Princess Dingguo has promised the Meng family, so what about North Vietnam..."

The emperor waved his hand, "We'll talk about this later. This matter is settled. I'm tired, and it's time to rest."

"I will send you off to the emperor respectfully."

After the emperor left, the ministers and their families also left the palace and returned home.

At the Meng Mansion, as soon as he entered the door, Minister Meng could no longer suppress his anger. Meng Qingyu was kicked by him before he even entered the door.

This kick was so powerful that it sent Meng Qingyu flying some distance and making him lie prone on the ground.

"You...you really piss me off."

Minister Meng was so angry that his beard was shaking. He looked around, then picked up the stool next to him and smashed it at Meng Qingyu.

The Meng family did not dare to persuade him and allowed Meng Qingyu to be beaten.

Meng Qingyu did not cry out in pain and let Minister Meng vent his anger.

"Old man, it's alright."

Old Mrs. Meng and Old Meng Qingyu only started to persuade them after they were beaten and covered in blood.

"Father, please, please show some mercy. Now that the matter is settled, it will be useless even if you beat him to death."

Meng Qingyu's mother knelt down with tears in her eyes: "Yu'er is your legitimate grandson. You know him. He is definitely not the kind of person who is reckless. He was also plotted against."

"Mother, what happened tonight was my own will."

"You also said..."

Minister Meng, who had calmed down a little, was provoked again by Meng Qingyu's words.

"Father, listen to what Yu'er has to say."

Meng Qingyu's father was also a military general and served in the army. Although his son was not very successful, he was not the kind of person who would put the family in danger.

"Tell me, if you can't tell me the answer, I'll beat you to death."

Minister Meng was helped by Old Madam Meng to sit in the main seat, and a maid immediately brought in a cup of cooling tea.

"This game tonight was made by Manager Gu."

Meng Qingyu threw a bomb, blowing the Meng family to pieces.

"You said it was Manager Gu who set this up?" No one believed it. How could it be possible?

"Yeah." Meng Qingyu nodded, and then told the Meng family what had happened.

After hearing this, the Meng family was extremely surprised. This, this, was simply unbelievable.

Meng Qingyu said, "I was drinking at the palace banquet, and a palace maid called me out, and I saw Steward Gu. Steward Gu asked me if I was willing to marry Princess Dingguo. I had no intention of doing so at first, because Princess Dingguo was so favored by the emperor, and I was afraid that marrying her would bring disaster to the Meng family, so I didn't agree. But Steward Gu later said that as long as I did what he said, he would keep the Meng family safe."

At first, after hearing what Gu Changfeng said, Meng Qingyu was also very surprised. Why did Gu Changfeng do this?

He asked the question, but Gu Changfeng just smiled and said, "Because you are good-looking and you are just eighteen years old, Princess Dingguo must like you."

Gu Changfeng had known that Xiao Simin would attack Qiao Linxi tonight, so he simply played along and called Meng Qingyu over, letting Meng Qingyu and Qiao Linxi...

At first, Xiao Simin and Qiao Wan'er did discuss ruining Qiao Linxi's reputation, but Xiao Simin was not stupid enough to find a guard or someone of low social status to ruin Qiao Linxi. If she had found a guard, the emperor would surely be furious, and she would be in trouble.

It's just that Xiao Simin is looking for someone else, who is quite old and has a legal wife. If something really happened between him and Qiao Linxi, then Qiao Linxi can only be a concubine. If that man divorces his wife for Qiao Linxi, then Qiao Linxi will also be hated by his legal wife.

Who would have thought that Meng Qingyu would get a bargain? Qiao Linxi really got a bargain.

"In that case, our worries are unnecessary."

Minister Meng breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Are you really with Princess Dingguo..."

Meng Qingyu's blood-stained face turned red and he hummed.

"Okay, in that case, go down and deal with it."

Meng Qingyu was helped down by his mother, but Minister Meng's brows did not relax.

"Father……"

Father Meng looked at Minister Meng and said, "What happened tonight is indeed strange."

Minister Meng nodded and said, "It's only a matter of time before we go to war with Dongyue. Perhaps Chief Steward Gu is doing this just to make our Meng family join forces with Princess Dingguo."

Although the matter was clear, Minister Meng still didn't feel at ease. He was really afraid that Gu Changfeng would go back on his word.

……

At the Qiao family, Qiao Linxi slowly woke up under the gaze of everyone.

"I……"

Whenever she moved, she felt a severe headache and her memory was lost.

"What's wrong with me?"

Old Madam Qiao had a gloomy face, and then asked the doctor to check Qiao Linxi's injuries. After a while, she called another nanny in.

"Test her."

The nanny looked at Old Lady Qiao with some embarrassment: "Madam, this..."

This is the newly-appointed Princess Dingguo. How dare she examine the princess' body?

"Test."

Mammy was in great trouble. She looked at Old Master Qiao with an embarrassed expression: "Master, look, this..."

Master Qiao sighed: "Forget it, whether it is true or not, now that the matter is settled, whether it is verified or not, what can it change?"

Qiao Linxi was confused. What test? Blood test?

If she does a blood test, wouldn't it be revealed that she is not of the Qiao family's bloodline?

[Master host, the old lady wants this nanny to examine your body to see if you are still that, a virgin... intact.]

Qiao Linxi’s brain exploded all of a sudden. What happened to her? What happened after she was attacked?

"Grandmother, since my sister has already had physical contact with Master Meng, and the Emperor has granted us the marriage, there is no need for a physical examination, right?"

Qiao Wan'er looked at Qiao Linxi with eyes full of resentment and jealousy.

This country bumpkin is so lucky that she can escape this! And she even got such a good marriage.

"What physical contact? What happened?"

Qiao Linxi was still confused and asked the system, but the system pretended to be dead and didn't say a word.

"You, don't you feel like there's something wrong with you?"

Qiao Wan'er had experienced this before, and she reminded Qiao Linxi implicitly.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Linxi moved, "I just have a headache."

"You have a headache, but don't you feel something wrong somewhere else? For example, your legs..."

When Qiao Wan'er said this, Master Qiao had already left. At this point, it was no longer important to worry about who designed this or whether Qiao Linxi lost her virginity.

What’s important is Gu Changfeng’s attitude. Let’s see how he treats the Qiao and Meng families.

"leg?"

Qiao Linxi moved: "I don't feel anything wrong."

Qiao Wan'er opened her mouth, wanting to speak more carefully but afraid that Old Lady Qiao would suspect something, so she stopped talking. But it was Old Lady Qiao who spoke first.

"What happened tonight? How did you get robbed and drugged? Now everyone in the capital knows that you and Meng Qingyu, the son of the Meng family, are married, and the palace guards saw it with their own eyes. Do you... have anything to say?"

Mrs. Qiao's words made Qiao Linxi pale. She...
