The Second Prince and the Third Prince also hurriedly followed her. As for why the Crown Prince didn’t go—
Actually, he really wanted to, but since the Crown Princess was pregnant, he felt staying home to accompany his wife was more important.
Anyway, his two younger brothers were already going. Whatever happened, they could come back and report to him.
Lin Mo sprinted all the way to Xiangmanlou, and under Bai Xiao’s guidance, rushed into a private room.
Before long, Xiangmanlou suddenly became much busier. The owner recognized Lin Mo—after all, she was practically a walking fortune.
Who in the capital’s upper circles didn’t know Little Official Lin? And anyone capable of running such a large restaurant here definitely had some ties with important families.
Bai Xiao: 【You’re late. Inside is already a complete mess.】
Lin Mo sucked in a cold breath. 【I ran like crazy and I’m still late?! Is the Ministry of Justice Vice Minister’s second son’s butt still intact?!】
At this moment, the Vice Minister of Justice nearly collapsed.
His son! His carefully raised son—was he really going to be ruined like this?! He would definitely make those people pay!
People with such disgusting character should absolutely never be allowed to stay in officialdom!
But Bai Xiao’s next words gave him hope again.
【Second Young Master is fine. The Peacock and the Silly Beauty are acquainted with him. When they came to drink, they happened to run into each other. So the Peacock and Silly Beauty joined in.】
Lin Mo suddenly felt a very bad premonition.
Those two were also extremely good-looking…
Lin Mo: 【So what you mean is—the ones in danger are the Peacock and the Silly Beauty?! Their butts are okay, right?! They’re even better looking than the Vice Minister’s son!】
The Grand Minister of Justice (Da Lisi Shaoqing) and the Assistant Minister of Personnel both gasped and nearly fainted.
The Vice Minister of Justice relaxed immediately after hearing his own son was fine. He looked at his two old friends with sympathy.
After all, this trouble started because of his son’s presence. He would make it up to those two kids someday.
The Grand Minister of Justice, hot-tempered as always, was about to rush in.
But Bai Xiao’s broken-up storytelling really was agonizing.
Bai Xiao continued: 【Their butts are fine too. Right now everyone inside is just calmly eating and drinking. Those scoundrels don’t dare touch the Peacock and Silly Beauty. Since the two of them got their allowance cut recently, of course they’d take the chance to eat their fill here.】
Lin Mo: …So I panicked for nothing—no wait, worried for nothing.
The officials who followed also sighed in relief.
Lin Mo flicked her sleeves and strode inside. 【Since I’m here, I absolutely won’t let them walk away easily. They dare plot against people? Watch how I destroy them!】
Bai Xiao: 【Destroy them! Destroy them!】
Lin Qi, who had been sent by their father to follow her: …You little disaster, what are you planning now?!
Inside were all men! And she knew her own terrible alcohol tolerance!
Lin Qi wanted to rush in, but someone sensible stopped him.
“Lord Lin, don’t worry. Little Lin will be absolutely fine. And Young Master Xiao is with her. Besides, we’re all standing guard here. If anything happens, we can rush in immediately.”
Eating melons was fine—but making sure those brats were safe was still the priority.
Lin Qi’s eyes were practically shooting fire. He really couldn’t go in now; barging in would expose everything.
Little Bai’s abilities could be trusted. That little system was fiercely protective. But Lin Qi still felt furious.
When Lin Mo pushed the door open, the entire room instantly fell silent.
Those with guilty consciences felt their hearts leap into their throats.
Why was this little hellspawn here?! Did she know what they had planned?!
The Peacock and Silly Beauty were thrilled to see her.
“Little Lin! You’re here—come try these dishes, they’re so good!”
The Vice Minister’s second son also eagerly welcomed her.
This second son had a gentle temperament. Maybe because his elder brother carried the pressure of the household, he grew up carefree and innocent.
And anyone who could play well with the Peacock and Silly Beauty… would naturally have a similar personality.
Lin Mo walked straight to the main seat and began eating and drinking without hesitation.
They wanted to scheme against someone? Fine—she’d use their own method against them. She couldn’t do much while sober, but once drunk—who would blame a drunk person?
She was drunk! Who would argue with a drunk?
Lin Mo comfortably began drinking.
Bai Xiao: 【Don’t think I don’t know you’re just using this as an excuse to drink. Control yourself, will you? If you get too drunk to even crawl later, what will you do?】
Lin Mo happily sipped her wine. 【Relax, I know my limits.】
Everyone at the table: ??
What are they talking about? Why can’t we understand a single word?
They didn’t understand now, but they soon would—because the moment Lin Mo finished a pot of wine, she grabbed a chopstick and tried to poke someone.
And she muttered about “poking chrysanthemums.”
“What? Chrysanthemums? They’re not even in season yet.”
No one understood what she was saying.
Lin Mo waved dramatically and ordered the Peacock and Silly Beauty to hold someone down.
Those two had also had a drink and their minds were foggy.
“Hang him up for me! As someone’s cousin—you live off him, eat his food, and still try to scheme against him! Second Young Master is such a good person, yet you want to poke his chrysanthemum!”
The Silly Beauty knocked the man to the floor with one punch and asked in confusion, “poke his chrysanthemum,what does poking the chrysanthemum mean?”
Lin Mo: “It means poking his butt! These guys are awful. I heard them planning to attack Second Young Master. These people don’t care about men or women—they wanted to stab his chrysanthemum!”
Bai Xiao: 【Don’t touch them! If you hit them yourself, you’ll dirty your hands!】
Lin Mo: 【I won’t hit them. I’m just teaching them a lesson. Looking at them too long already makes me feel filthy!】
All four men were beaten up thoroughly. Once the Peacock and Silly Beauty understood what “poking chrysanthemums” meant, they were so furious they almost shoved chopsticks into the culprits’ backsides.
The Vice Minister’s second son stood there in utter confusion.
Lin Mo stepped on one man’s head, hands on her hips, laughing proudly: “Call me Hero Lin! That’s how righteous I am!”
The Peacock and Silly Beauty immediately cupped their fists: “Greetings, Hero Lin!”
