LOT – Chapter 43 Teeth Stuck in an Apple, Lin Mo Drools Over a Eunuch

At this moment, the Grand Commandant inside the room was on the verge of a breakdown. That flower thief looked utterly smug and kept chuckling sleazily, saying, “Beauty, turn around quickly. Your back view is stunning, but I also want to see what you really look like.”

“Beauty, I know my reputation isn’t great, but I’m willing to give up all the flowers out there just to turn over a new leaf for you!”

Grand Commandant: …Well, I really appreciate that, thank you so much.

Outside the room, the system mimicked the flower thief’s tone so vividly that Lin Mo could barely keep the smile off her face.

Lin Mo: [My goodness! Is the Grand Commandant really this attractive? He hasn’t even shown his face and already made the flower thief want to change his ways!]

The others couldn’t even begin to imagine what kind of scene was unfolding inside. They were full of sympathy for the Grand Commandant… but also felt lucky the thief hadn’t chosen their house that night. Otherwise, the one in that room might be someone else entirely.

Lin Mo was dying to lean against the window to watch, but her father wouldn’t leave her side. Every time she made a move, he shot her a fierce glare.

Lin Mo: [What should I do? I really want to go over and watch, but my dad is seriously in the way!]

System: [No worries! Even if you can’t see it, I’ll narrate it all for you.]

System, suddenly shouting: [Ah! The Grand Commandant made a move! He grabbed the flower thief’s vital part!]

As soon as the system finished, a scream came from inside the room.

“Aaahhhh! Who are you?! Where’s my beauty gone?! Let go of me right now!”

With a loud crash, everyone outside rushed in. A flurry of chaos followed.

Seizing the chance, Lin Mo dashed inside. Minister Lin failed to stop her.

What greeted her eyes was… quite the intense scene.

The flower thief was completely unable to break free — the Grand Commandant had a death grip on his lower half and refused to let go.

He wasn’t joking around. The Grand Commandant had seriously thought this through. If you grab somewhere else, the guy might escape, but as a man himself, he knew exactly where a man’s weakest point was.

As long as you hold onto that — there’s no way he’s running. No man would sacrifice that part of himself just to get away.

Staring at the scene, Lin Mo exclaimed emotionally, “The Grand Commandant is truly a hero among men! Dresses like a woman and catches thieves like a boss! Amazing!”

The flower thief was losing his mind. “You shameless officials! You even disguise yourselves as women! Where’s the beauty I fell for? Who the hell was it?!”

The Minister of Justice ordered his men to tie him up while laughing, “The beauty you’re looking for is right next to you. Didn’t you recognize that back view?”

“You really have terrible eyesight — couldn’t even tell if it was a man or woman!”

“Good thing our Grand Commandant is both brave and smart. Caught you in one go!”

At this moment, the Grand Commandant was frantically scrubbing his hands. So dirty! So dirty! Did I catch some disease?

Hidden among the crowd, the emperor, crown prince, and two princes stood there completely stunned.

Emperor Xuande exclaimed, “I never imagined he’d actually go through with something like this. Dressing as a woman was already outrageous, but this… this is a whole new level!”

The crown prince added, “Maybe it’s because of little Lord Lin’s influence. Just look at her — not a hint of shame, and laughing so cheerfully. I really wonder who in the capital would dare marry her. Honestly, I don’t think anyone’s worthy.”

At that, the emperor and the other two princes fell silent.

They hadn’t thought about that issue before… but now that it was mentioned, this oddball might actually be impossible to marry off.

Otherwise, she’d spill all your family secrets in no time — and you’d become the talk of the entire capital!

That Night at the Grand Commandant’s Residence Was Incredibly Lively—But One Major Problem Was Finally Solved

That shameless flower thief never expected someone could be even more shameless than him. In moments like this, it came down to who could out-brazen the other.

As Lin Mo followed her father back home, she was still chatting with the system about what just happened.

Lin Mo: [System, do you think news of the Grand Commandant dressing as a woman will spread all over the capital tomorrow?]

System: [Definitely. Those wealthy idle folks in the capital have nothing better to do. Look at you—every time something happens, it spreads like wildfire. Now it’s the Grand Commandant’s turn to take over your spot as the city’s biggest celebrity!]

Lin Mo: [Can’t believe someone actually bumped me off the top of the trending list! Oh well, I’ll graciously give him the spotlight!]

Minister Lin: … I have a feeling you’ll snatch that spot back in no time.

He didn’t fully understand what “top of the trending list” meant, but it probably meant “number one.”

And sometimes, Minister Lin’s intuition wasn’t wrong at all.

The next morning at court, Lin Mo was granted an apple by the emperor. She happily took a big bite——and immediately found herself in an awkward situation.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Lin Mo pointed at the apple still in her mouth and kept letting out distressed sounds. Everyone around her had no idea what was going on.

Lin Mo, mentally screaming: [Help! Help! The apple’s stuck in my mouth! My teeth are caught in it and won’t come out!]

System, exasperated: [I KNEW this would happen! Why’d you bite such a big chunk?! Now look at you—stuck! I’ve never seen anyone manage to get stuck eating an apple before.]

The Emperor Who Gave the Apple: …

The Ministers Watching Nearby: …

This was truly… a one-of-a-kind event—getting an apple stuck in your mouth.

Emperor Xuande waved his hand, and Eunuch Li brought over a small knife.

“Don’t move, Lord Lin. We’ll get your tooth out in just a moment.”

Eunuch Li carefully began slicing the edge of the apple. But halfway through, he noticed something strange—his other hand, the one holding the apple, was getting wet.

He looked down— Good heavens, it really was like a waterfall of drool!

System, shocked: [Are you seriously drooling over a eunuch?! Who are you and what have you done with my host?!]

Startled, Eunuch Li’s hand trembled—and the knife almost slipped into Lin Mo’s mouth!

Watching the knife inch toward her mouth, Lin Mo’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.

Oh my god oh my god—please stay calm! And even in this terrifying moment, she still found the energy to argue with the system.

Lin Mo: [You’re the one drooling over a eunuch! My mouth’s full of apple, and I can’t hold the saliva in! How do you always manage to twist things like this?! Are you a defective system?!]

Meanwhile, Minister Lin had already covered his face with his hand. Utter humiliation…

It took quite a while before Lin Mo was finally freed. The moment she was released, the entire court was dead silent—only the sound of her slurping saliva could be heard.

Honestly, the scene was… not flattering. A beautiful young maiden drooling over a eunuch? No one would believe it even if they heard it—though, to be fair, drooling was really beyond her control.

Emperor Xuande lightly cleared his throat and said, “You don’t have to eat so fast. Slow and steady. Lord Lin, no one’s fighting you for that apple. See, everyone else managed just fine.”

System: [Says who? They didn’t get stuck, sure, but someone did chip a tooth! They’re still holding it in their mouth right now!]

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Lin Mo: [Who?!]

Everyone who had just received an apple suddenly panicked. It’s over! Another one is about to be publicly humiliated!
