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

"This..." Meng Qingyu hesitated.

Qiao Linxi asked: "Is it inconvenient?"

"It's convenient. I'll go back and let Grandfather know right away."

Meng Qingyu went out, but Qiao Linxi still looked at his back. The morality in her heart was gradually disintegrating.

She is now rich and powerful, so it is not difficult for her to keep a few handsome boys around her. She is a princess now, so it is normal for her to have several lovers, right?

She loves noble scholars, upright generals, gentle and elegant sons of poor families, and both wolf cubs and puppies.

"Princess……"

A nanny brought a group of servants from the princess's mansion to the main courtyard to meet Qiao Linxi.

"Madame Wang."

"Princess, I will bring all the servants of the Princess's Mansion to meet you."

Nanny Wang was sent by the Palace's Internal Affairs Department and was also the head nanny of the Princess's Mansion.

"This servant and the people here were assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the princess. They were sent here by the Gu Mansion."

Looking at the dozen maids and servants on the right, Qiao Linxi was a little confused: "Gu Mansion?"

There were also several elderly maids among the servants from the Gu residence. One of them knelt down and said, "Princess, we were assigned by General Manager Gu to serve you."

"Oh." Qiao Linxi nodded. It turned out that it was sent by Gu Changfeng. "I don't know much about the internal affairs of the mansion, so I'll leave it to you. Nanny Wang, please discuss who will be in charge of which courtyard."

"I will arrange it."

Nanny Wang brought everyone to see Qiao Linxi because she wanted Qiao Linxi to give her a lecture and to establish her authority at the same time. However, seeing that Qiao Linxi didn't seem to have that intention, she had to speak bluntly and asked her if she had anything to say.

Qiao Linxi shook her head. "I don't have anything to say. Just let Nanny Wang decide everything. However, although I don't have any requirements for you, and I don't ask you to be loyal to me, I don't want you to do anything that will cause me trouble or hurt me."

"Hey, Qinghe?"

Only then did Qiao Linxi notice that among the people sent by Gu Changfeng there was a maid with a familiar face.

When the maid heard Qiao Linxi mention Qinghe, she walked out of the team, knelt on the ground and replied: "Princess, I am not Qinghe, my name is Qiusui."

"You two look alike."

"Qinghe and I are twin sisters."

Qiao Linxi nodded: "What about Qinghe?" Could it be that she really died after being hung up and drained of blood by Gu Changfeng?

"Qing He didn't serve the princess well, so she was punished by Steward Gu."

Qiu Sui couldn't help shaking when she said this. She and Qing He were twins, and Qing He's death was so tragic that whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of that look.

"Ah? Is she really dead? But she didn't do anything wrong to me. Why was she executed by Gu Changfeng?"

Qiu Sui raised her head sharply and looked at Qiao Linxi with hatred in her eyes. "You'll have to ask the princess about this."

"Snapped!"

Among the group of people sent by Gu Changfeng, the nanny who had just given an answer turned around and slapped Qiu Sui.

"You can question the princess? If you don't know the cause of Qinghe's death, I will tell you that as the princess's servant, she was derelict in her duty by not serving the princess closely. After returning to the palace, she made irresponsible remarks about the princess, which is a serious crime. It was only because of Gu's kindness that only Qinghe was executed. Otherwise, based on the mistakes she made, her entire clan would have been executed."

That slap made Qiu Sui's body tilt to the side, and also made Qiao Linxi's heart tremble.

Just because the two maids didn't follow her, they were executed by Gu Changfeng. Is this life so cheap in Gu Changfeng's eyes? Just like the flowers and plants on the roadside, he can crush them at will.

"Mrs. Lu, please stop hitting me."

After Nanny Lu slapped Qiu Sui, she didn't stop.

"If you question the princess, you deserve to be killed. Come, drag him away and beat him to death!"

"what?"

Qiao Linxi was still in a daze when he saw several strong guards coming forward and dragging Qiu Sui out.

No one looked at them, they just lowered their heads and said nothing.

"and many more……"

Qiao Linxi hurried down and ran in front of the few people: "It's just a small matter, there's no need to execute her."

But Nanny Lu did not give in. She said, "Princess, there is no order without rules. The princess was personally conferred the title of Princess Dingguo by the emperor. This criminal slave questioning the princess is equivalent to questioning the emperor, which is a serious crime. If Chief Steward Gu knew about this, I'm afraid he would have her cut into pieces."

The "thousand cuts and pieces" that Aunt Lu mentioned really meant a thousand cuts and pieces. She had seen a servant who had made a mistake being sentenced to a thousand cuts and pieces. An executioner with great knife skills was found to cut a thousand pieces of flesh from the servant's body.

Finally, a bloody skeleton was revealed, and one could see the heart inside the skeleton still beating slightly.

"I did this for her own good. A beating is more comfortable than being cut into pieces."

Qiao Linxi's face turned pale in an instant, because the system read Nanny Lu's memory and found the scene of "being cut into pieces".

She swayed her body, looked at Qiu Sui who was being dragged like a dead dog, and said, "Let her go."

"Princess." Nanny Wang saw that Qiao Linxi was unsteady on her feet and came over to support her: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Let her go, Nanny Wang. Find her indenture and return it to her."

Then, Qiao Linxi looked at Qiu Sui and said, "I'm sorry. Although Qing He's death was not caused by me, she died because of me. I can't make up for your pain of losing your sister. I can only let you go. Nanny Wang, give her some money from the public account and let her go."

"And whoever of you wants to leave can leave today, and I will give you some money to settle down."

Qiao Linxi was really scared, afraid that Gu Changfeng would find another excuse to kill these servants. They were pitiful enough to be sold as slaves, and they couldn't lose their lives for some unfounded crimes.

Then, the atmosphere at the scene fell into an eerie silence.

"What's wrong? If you want to leave, just get the indenture from me and leave. I won't make it difficult for you."

Qiao Linxi didn’t understand why they couldn’t leave but kept on leaving?

"Please, Princess, leave me alone."

Wow, what a neat sound.

"Princess, if they leave now, their lives will be in danger as soon as they step out of the Princess's Mansion. As for Manager Gu..."

Nanny Wang’s words made Qiao Linxi understand that it was like this again.

"Princess, if you keep them, it will be like giving them a life-saving talisman. This way, Manager Gu will not find a reason to deal with them. Please be kind and keep them."

Gu Changfeng is really...

Qiao Linxi gritted her teeth. These were living people. She just didn't want to see these innocent people lose their lives because of her.

"In that case, then let them all stay. Nanny Wang, take them downstairs and make some arrangements."

After sending that group of people away, Qiao Linxi's face darkened. This really proved the saying, "The scourge will last for a thousand years."

Why doesn't a demon like Gu Changfeng just die?
