LOT -Chapter 295 Lin Mo: Awoo~ My sister is getting married, I’m so sad

After returning home, Lin Mo and the others did not tell Lin Qi the truth. They only said that the girl’s condition wasn’t bad and that she had already been sent to the countryside for treatment.

Lin Qi didn’t suspect anything. Mainly because Lin Mo and Bai Xiao hadn’t mentioned anything about it in their minds, and that matter didn’t leave any impression on either of them.

Lin Mo’s attention was quickly pulled away by her “scumbag brother-in-law.”

“Ji Pitpit! Do you have no shame at all? You moved into our house this fast?!”

Seeing the man carrying bag after bag toward their home, Lin Mo almost wanted to throw him out.

With a big bundle on his back, Ji Qianhua shamelessly said, “Aren’t I just trying to move everything over first? It’ll be more convenient later.”

Lin Mo: “Have you no pride?! There’s still a whole month before your wedding! As a man, can’t you be a little more reserved?!”

【Men who are too eager aren’t worth anything! And Ji Pitpit is exactly that—worthless!】

Bai Xiao touched his nose, awkwardly saying: 【Well… not necessarily. Doesn’t this just mean he really loves your sister? This is practically like becoming a live-in son-in-law already—he’s moved his whole home over.】

Lin Mo, furious: 【You’re actually defending him?! Whose side are you on?!】

Bai Xiao: 【Yours, of course. He really is quite worthless.】

Ji Qianhua: … Brother, you switched sides a little too fast, didn’t you?

As for Madam Lin and Minister Lin, they let the kids handle things themselves.

And seeing how the couple got along, they were both extremely satisfied. Their daughter didn’t even need to marry out. How great was that?

Back in their room, Minister Lin sighed, “Why does it feel like time passes so fast? Our son is already married, and our daughter is about to get married too. The house we bought outside hasn’t even been used.”

Madam Lin chuckled. “Isn’t it better this way? Neither daughter needs to marry out, and both sons-in-law are familiar and reliable. How wonderful.”

No family in the capital had it as worry-free as they did.

Although she said that, Minister Lin still felt a little uncomfortable.
How did the children grow up in the blink of an eye?
Especially Mo’er—she herself was still like a child, yet she was about to get married?

“For Mo’er and Xiao Bai, there’s no need to rush. Let’s talk about it next year.”

Winter was almost here anyway; holding three weddings in a rush wouldn’t be appropriate.

Madam Lin glanced at him and couldn’t help laughing. “Oh please, as if I don’t know what you’re thinking. Even if Mo’er gets married, her personality won’t change. You, as her father, can keep worrying for years to come.”

Minister Lin sighed, unable to smile. He would indeed continue being a worried father, but… this feeling really was different.

Reality soon proved that Minister Lin had been worrying for nothing.

Lin Mo and Bai Xiao’s relationship had indeed changed—but their troublemaking tendencies definitely hadn’t.

Every morning she still had to be hauled off to morning court, And every time they caused trouble outside, he still had to clean up after them.

The month flew by quickly. During that month, Ji Qianhua practically moved his entire household in. The prince’s residence was now an empty shell.

Naturally, there was no hiding such movement. Everyone had different reactions toward the fact that Zhen’nan Wang and his son had moved—family and all—into the Lin household.

Emperor Xuande couldn’t help complaining: “Do they not have a home? Why are they dragging their whole family to live with the Lins? Is that brat Ji Qianhua planning to become a son-in-law?”

The three princes exchanged looks, unable to answer. They liked Ji Qianhua as a friend, but they truly hadn’t expected his shamelessness to reach such heights.

The third prince nudged his brother and whispered, “He really might be planning to become a son-in-law.”

The crown prince said, “He shouldn’t… They’re probably just moving in temporarily.”

The second prince shrugged. “Even if he does, so what? Didn’t he like the Lin family’s eldest daughter since forever? He’s been trailing after her since childhood. Good for him—he waited so many years.”

Everyone had seen Ji Qianhua’s persistence. They’d thought he would get engaged in his teens, but the kid suddenly joined the army. He’d been gone for years—everyone assumed the relationship was over. Unexpectedly, they still ended up together.

Well, of course—he’d been following her like a mad dog since childhood. How could he possibly let anyone else have her?

The whole capital was lively these days. With the Lin family’s happy occasion, everyone wanted to join in. Minister Lin had a headache seeing the swarm of acquaintances and strangers alike.

He didn’t remember being this popular. In the past, only close friends visited during family celebrations—never this many people.

Madam Lin said, amused, “It’s not your popularity—it’s our little Lord Lin’s popularity. Look at her, moving through the crowd like a fish in water.”

Following her line of sight, he saw Lin Mo in a new outfit, thriving as she socialized, laughing and mingling effortlessly.

Everyone praised her endlessly, compliments flying like they cost nothing. Lin Mo was beaming, drinking wine as if it were water.

Bai Xiao tried to stop her, 【Ancestor, stop drinking! If you get drunk and make a scene today—your sister’s wedding—they’ll laugh at you for years!】

Lin Mo impatiently slapped his hand away: 【Do you think I have no self-control? My alcohol tolerance now is way better than before. Two cups won’t get me drunk. What are you imagining?】

Bai Xiao: 【…Please turn around when you talk to me. You’re facing the Grand Preceptor.】

Lin Mo forced her eyes open.

White beard… wrinkled face…

Yep. Definitely not Bai Xiao.

【Hehehe, I was wondering why you suddenly looked old and wrinkly. Turns out I got the wrong person.】

Grand Preceptor: … Do you have any manners?

These two wedding banquets had practically the entire court attending. If not for the Emperor being unable to come, he’d have shown up too.

But he sent the three princes.

When Lin Mo saw her sister being married off, she let out a sudden howl:

“Awwwooo—my sister is marrying someone else! I’m so sad!!”

The guests—previously immersed in the joy of the ceremony—almost burst out laughing on the spot.

The Lin couple had been feeling emotional, but with that one dramatic wail, all their complicated emotions disappeared instantly.
