LOT -Chapter 306 Untitled Draft

When Lin Mo heard that, she cried even louder. He hadn’t shown up for the entire day, and he had never come home this late before. Her father was really letting himself loose!

This dynasty allowed men to take concubines—could it be that he had been charmed away by some other woman?

She had to help her mother keep a close eye on her father. If he ever dared betray his conscience, she would run away with her mother when she grew up and find her a better husband!

(Minister Lin: Truly… what a filial daughter you are.)

As soon as Minister Lin approached the room, he heard the familiar voice inside.

After returning home, he first went to check on the other two children. Both were already asleep. Looking in on them every night had long become his habit.

But now the youngest one had settled herself into their room instead.

“Sighhhh~~~”

That long sigh said everything about his mood.

“Madam, I’m back. There was a lot to handle today, so I returned later than usual.”

Madam Lin welcomed him and helped remove his official hat as she said, “You’re finally back. Your daughter nearly worried herself sick. She’s been restless ever since dusk fell. Even when she was drinking milk, her eyes kept drifting toward the door.”

Hearing that, Minister Lin’s heart warmed immediately.

Though this girl caused chaos, she really was quite sweet. It made all the daily cuddling worthwhile.

“Mo’er, come here. Let Daddy hold you. Did you miss Daddy today?” He picked her up.

Lin Mo: Activate super sense of smell! Sniff for traces of another woman’s perfume! No—wait, in this era it should be called fragrance!

Lin Mo started burrowing everywhere—one moment rubbing against his face, the next burrowing into his neck— and worst of all, she drooled while doing it.

Minister Lin instantly had his face and neck smeared with drool. One could say he received a full drool facial.

Madam Lin was laughing so hard she almost collapsed. “Mo’er really does like you best. She’s never this enthusiastic with us.”

Lin Mo: That’s different. With Mother I don’t have to worry about wild men!

Mm. Dad smelled clean and nice—no unfamiliar scent at all.

Minister Lin wiped his face. Honestly, he had three children now, yet neither of the older two had ever covered his face in drool. At most, they’d get a little on him.

But now he had gotten so used to this girl using her drool to wash him daily that it was no wonder people said he carried a lingering milk scent. How could he not smell like milk at this rate?

While rocking Lin Mo to sleep, Minister Lin talked to his wife about what happened today.

“I’ve been going to court every day smelling like milk. This won’t do. I’m a grown man, yet I carry a milk scent every day. I already made up an excuse, but I’m sure there are people who don’t buy it.”

Madam Lin’s cheeks were flushed from laughing. She wiped away tears of amusement, spring light dancing in her eyes, and said, “What can you do? This child just loves sticking to you.”

Seeing his wife looking like that, Minister Lin pulled her close and kissed her naturally.  “Madam~, help me think of a solution. If this continues, I’ll lose all dignity.”

The little lightbulb between them was already asleep. A dad-shaped cradle—whoever used it would know! Absolutely top quality!

The parents were all lovey-dovey, and Lin Mo’s drool was also stretching in strings. Babies truly produced an incredible amount of drool. She herself sometimes wondered why she had so much—she simply couldn’t control it.

Madam Lin leaned against her husband and thought for a bit. “Why don’t you bathe after waking up every morning before leaving? Use more scented soap. That should cover up the milk smell.”

Minister Lin held her with a helpless expression. “How do I have time to bathe in the morning? This little ancestor starts causing trouble the moment she wakes up. I have to spend time soothing her. I’m rushing every day just to get to court on time. There’s no time to bathe.”

Unless he stopped holding her in the mornings—but that was absolutely impossible.

Madam Lin stroked his cheek with a laugh. “She’s your daughter—what can you do? Just endure it. You already made an excuse. Whether others believe it or not is their problem.”

The parents’ night was full of tender affection; Lin Mo’s night was full of thunderous farts.

“PUPUPUPUPU~~~”

Just after the couple finished being affectionate, a rumbling blast sounded, startling both of them.

The bed even shook.

Looking at the tiny person sleeping beside them, the Lin couple: “…”

How could someone so small let out something so loud? Her belly must be full of nothing but gas.

Suddenly, Madam Lin remembered something important.

“That medicine… it does work, right? You’re sure I won’t get pregnant again?”

This little one was an accident. They had originally decided to stop at two children since they already had both a son and a daughter.

But she still ended up pregnant. Now Minister Lin had thickened his skin and gone to the Imperial Medical Bureau to request a certain medicine—a contraceptive pill for men.

It had no side effects, since it used to be prepared for emperors.

Some emperors didn’t want certain concubines to get pregnant…
