LOT – Chapter 68 Help! I’m Stuck in a Dog Hole!

Third Young Miss was beginning to lose face now. She could hear all of Lin Mo’s inner thoughts and naturally knew that everything Lin Mo said was true.

After all, Lord Lin had never eaten a fake melon in her life.

Still, she couldn’t believe her own judgment had been so terrible—Li Mingen actually had a venereal disease!

Lin Mo glanced at Third Young Miss’s expression, and suddenly a bright idea popped into her head. She looked at the three blockheads standing nearby, quickly darted to their side, and whispered: “You guys aren’t married yet, right? What do you think of Third Young Miss?”

The system immediately caught on to her intention: 【Aiya! You’re trying to play matchmaker for them!】

Everyone: !!!

Lin Mo: 【Exactly! Look how well these jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards match each other!】

The “jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards” trio: …

Excuse you! Who are you calling wild beasts?!

Third Young Miss took a deep breath. Right now, what she really wanted to know was what kind of image she had in Lord Lin’s mind—did she have to find a man no matter what?

“Lord Lin, I appreciate your good intentions. I also now realize that Li Mingen is no decent man. But as for these three gentlemen, I don’t really have any connection with them, so let’s just drop the matter.”

She even gave the trio a glance—an inscrutable one with a hint of… meaning.

The trio: …

Why does it feel like you’re looking down on us? And what’s with that look in your eyes?!

When Lin Mo and the three were finally sent out, they all had the same blank, dazed expression on their faces.

Lin Mo asked the system in confusion: 【So… we’ve basically been kicked out, haven’t we?】

System: 【Seems like it.】

Lin Mo: 【They’re using us and then tossing us away like worn-out donkeys!】

The trio vigorously nodded in their hearts: Exactly! Used and discarded!

Onlookers: …

That idiom sounds a bit off, but we can’t quite put our finger on what’s wrong with it…

Seeing the current situation, the trio suddenly felt like this was the perfect opportunity to make their exit.

“Um, well… since there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave now.”

They still had to go find the beauties! They really didn’t have time to waste here.

The capital was huge, and who knew if those beauties could even be found?

Lin Mo wanted to stop them, but she was a second too late—because her old man had already grabbed her.

“Enough of your nonsense! Time to go home!”

Minister Lin directly picked her up, sat down on the wheelchair, and placed her across his lap.

“Tell your rake to take us home!”

Lin Mo: …

Everyone else: …

System: 【Tsk tsk, your dad’s changed too. Even he’s been conquered by the rake.】

Lin Mo replied in agreement: 【Tell me about it—he even snatched my wheelchair.】

Those behind them watched as Minister Lin sat in the wheelchair being pulled by a pig and couldn’t help but sigh.

Lord Lin’s influence really was too powerful. Just look at Minister Lin—he was no longer that old, rigid, rule-abiding man from before.

As Lin Mo lay across her father’s lap, her inner voice never stopped. The two of them chatted from the southern seas to the northern plains. Minister Lin’s head was buzzing.

People in the capital who witnessed the scene had very strange expressions on their faces.

“What in the world is going on lately? Why are all the nobles riding pigs now?”

“No idea. How could we possibly understand the minds of the high and mighty?”

Minister Lin had already grown accustomed to these bewildered stares.

Lin Mo, rocked gently by the bumps along the road, was slowly falling asleep. Hearing the braying of the donkey coming from her lap, Minister Lin let out a sigh.

What a sin! Thankfully, they’d be home soon—any longer and this would’ve truly been humiliating.

While things had wrapped up on this end, Qin Zheng’s side was still unresolved.

The three men continued digging for information, and, surprisingly, they really did manage to find out which family’s young lady had been dragged home by her ear that night.

“Is this really the right place? The Assistant Minister of Personnel doesn’t have a daughter, does he? Isn’t Qin Zheng his only child?”

The three of them stood hesitantly outside the Assistant Minister’s residence.

The young master in white pondered, “Could it be the Assistant Minister had a daughter out of wedlock, and she’s only recently been found and brought home?”

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

He explained to the other two, “Look, if it was a girl who grew up in the capital, who else but Lord Lin would dare step foot in a brothel? But if she grew up elsewhere, then it all makes sense.”

It really did make sense. The other two were immediately convinced.

Mustered up with courage, the trio knocked on the door.

At that moment, Qin Zheng was helping his mother dress up. These past few days, he’d been forced to change into women’s clothes daily just to entertain her. He was getting so sick of it, he was about to swear off crossdressing forever.

When the servant answered the door, they explained their purpose.

“Young miss? We don’t have a young miss in this household—just our young master. If you’re talking about who was dragged home that night… that was our young master.”

Upon hearing this, the three men were struck as if by lightning.

S-So… the beauty they saw that night… was Qin Zheng?!

Zhu Yeqing screamed and bolted, while the other two rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.

The servants of the Assistant Minister’s residence: …

This might have been a bit too much of a shock.

After Lin Mo woke up, the system quickly updated her on everything that happened.

【Hahahahaha! What a blow! You think they’ve bent now?】

This was exactly what Lin Mo was most curious about.

System: 【No idea! But if they have turned gay, can Qin Zheng handle all three of them? One guy divided among three? Not enough to go around!】

Lin Mo thought for a moment and immediately began planning their schedule: 【One per day. Two turns each per week. On the last day, Qin Zheng gets a break. Perfect!】

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Ah! She really wanted to see their chaotic love triangle unfold. If only she could watch it live!

The Lin family members standing outside the door: …

What do we do about this slightly deranged daughter? Can we shove her back and rebuild her from scratch?

The more Lin Mo and the system talked, the raunchier it got. Their shared laughter was utterly lewd and scheming—it felt like they were plotting some devious midnight escapade.

Minister Lin gritted his teeth, eyes shut tight: “Keep a close watch on her. And someone go inform the Assistant Minister—tell him to keep his gates locked tight. If he sees this girl near the place, tie her up and send her straight back!”

Lin Qi and Lin Ran: …

Dad, isn’t this a bit much? No matter how unreliable Mo’er is, she’s not about to sneak out and kidnap someone in the middle of the night.

But facts proved Minister Lin’s concerns were not misplaced.

Lin Mo, too excited to sleep after all the chatter with the system, conspired with it and decided to sneak out nearby to get some gossip firsthand.

“Ahhh! Help! I’m stuck in the dog hole! Help me!”

The system complained: 【I told you to climb over the wall! But nooo, you insisted on crawling through the dog hole!】

Lin Mo: 【How was I supposed to know it got so narrow?! I could totally fit through it a few years ago!】

System: 【Exactly! A few years ago! You were barely ten! You think your body hasn’t changed?! Wake up!】

The Lin family rushed over: …Damn it. You actually were planning to sneak out in the middle of the night!
