LOT – Chapter 94 Pretty Sister, I Can!

While drinking her porridge, Lin Mo urgently asked the system about the follow-up.

【Why didn’t you tell me about something this big! It’s been so many days already. You’re really not a qualified system!】

The system replied innocently:

【Well, you didn’t ask me either. Besides, I thought you didn’t care about it anymore.】

It had been following her around every day, busy with all sorts of things. How could it possibly remember such a distant matter?

Lin Mo took a deep breath.

【System, listen up! From now on, no matter what juicy gossip I come across, you must tell me the follow-up. Got it?】

【Got it, got it. Do you still want to hear their follow-up? After the Shaoqing of the Court of Imperial Banquets and the Shaoqing of the Court of Imperial Studs fought, they stood there cursing at each other for a whole hour. Even their families, standing behind them, couldn’t pull them apart.】

An entire hour of trading insults! Everyone couldn’t help picturing that scene in their minds.

Minister Lin had always known the two didn’t get along, but he never expected it to be this bad. It had been nearly twenty years—was the grudge over stealing someone’s sister still not resolved?

He had thought it was simply a matter of political disagreements, but it turned out to be because of that!

Lin Mo clicked her tongue in pity.

【It’s such a shame I didn’t get to see that scene. If you’d told me at the time, I would’ve rushed over immediately. How could we miss something so spectacular? Remember this for the future—moments like this, we absolutely can’t miss. Even if I have to crawl, I’m going to watch it!】

The system was left speechless.

…Was that really necessary?

Everyone listening silently in their hearts also felt the same—going that far just to watch drama was a bit much. Even crawling?!

After breakfast, Lin Mo was forcibly dragged back to have her hair done. She had planned to run outside right after eating, but was yanked back mid-step.

“Going out with your hair sticking out like that—are you trying to make people laugh themselves to death? Get back here and have it done properly!”

Lin Mo had been ready to argue that this was natural beauty, but one look at her parents’ and siblings’ eyes made her swallow her words. She managed a one-second scowl before obediently returning to fix her hair.

The system was nearly in tears from laughing.

【Why are you so timid! I thought you were really going to stand your ground against your parents. Turns out you only dare to keep your angry face for one second.】

Lin Mo quickly found herself an excuse.

【You don’t understand. This is respect for my parents. How could I get angry at them? I’m a filial daughter.】

The system replied in a perfunctory tone:

【Mm-hmm, you’re definitely a “laugh-ial” daughter—the kind who brings joy through hearty laughter.】

The others who overheard the system’s remark almost couldn’t hold back their laughter. This system was getting more and more entertaining.

Lin Mo changed into comfortable clothes and tied her hair into a neat, high ponytail before heading out.

She thought she looked pretty dashing like this, so she kept a pleased expression on her face the whole time.

The street was bustling as usual. No matter what festival it was, the streets were always lively.

Lin Mo strolled from one end of the street to the other, trying every snack stall along the way.

Tsk tsk tsk—this was the life! If only she didn’t have to work every day, it would be perfect.

The Crown Prince and the two other princes also took this time to stroll around, and in the middle of the crowd, they instantly spotted Lin Mo.

Their wives had all gone into the palace to keep the Empress and their mothers company, so the three of them happened to have some free time to walk around.

“Hey, isn’t that Lin Mo up ahead?”

Lin Mo was happily munching on a candied hawthorn skewer. Honestly, that high ponytail she tied today really did the trick — it even made her look taller.

The Third Prince grinned mischievously, tugging his two elder brothers along toward her. “I was just feeling bored, but I didn’t expect to run into her! Let’s follow her — if we stick with her, something fun is bound to happen!”

As Lin Mo continued eating, the street suddenly became lively. The system suddenly exclaimed,

【Host! County Princess Huayao has returned!】

Lin Mo furrowed her brow. Who is County Princess Huayao?

The system spoke excitedly,

【This County Princess Huayao is no ordinary person! Born into a military family, tall and strong, she’s highly skilled in martial arts. She grew up in army camps and on battlefields — a rare heroine and true woman of valor!】

【Strictly speaking, you’re not the only female official. You’re just the only one who works in the court. County Princess Huayao has always been stationed outside — and today, she’s coming back! Not only that, she’s here to choose a husband!】

Hearing that, Lin Mo’s heart couldn’t help but stir. She loved this kind of beautiful big sister!

No sooner had the system finished speaking than a troop of people passed by. At the front rode a woman on a tall horse, her bearing brimming with heroism, her entire body radiating an aura of killing intent — she was dazzlingly handsome!

Lin Mo tried to squeeze closer for a better look, but somehow, someone’s foot shoved her right out of the crowd, and the next thing she knew, she was sprawled in the middle of the street.

“Who kicked me?! Who was it?!”

Lin Mo was about to explode with anger. This was the second time recently! The last time she joined a lively crowd, she’d also been kicked out of the way.

County Princess Huayao saw Lin Mo in front of her and immediately remembered who she was.

Lin Mo was famous in the homes of high-ranking officials, and even those who weren’t in the capital knew of her. The officials of the capital had even circulated her portrait, so that those returning from outside the city wouldn’t accidentally cross paths with this little troublemaker.

“You must be Lord Xiao Lin? Lord Xiao Lin, are you all right?”

The moment County Princess Huayao spoke, Lin Mo’s expression changed in an instant, breaking into a foolish grin. “Hehe, I’m fine, I’m fine.”

County Princess Huayao dismounted and walked over to her. Good heavens — Lin Mo actually had to look up at her.

【Oh my gosh! This County Princess is as tall as my father and brothers!】

Hearing Lin Mo’s awed remark, County Princess Huayao almost couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Lord Xiao Lin, why don’t you come to my residence for a visit? I’ve long heard of your cleverness and quick wit. I’ve been away from the capital for a long time, so I’d like to ask you to brief me on the various affairs of the city.”

How could Lin Mo possibly refuse the request of such a heroic beauty? She absolutely had to agree!

She thumped her chest and declared boldly, “No problem! I’m the walking encyclopedia of the capital! There’s nothing I don’t know!”

The system muttered under its breath,

【Pfft! You’re just relying on me, aren’t you? I’m the real walking encyclopedia here!】

Lin Mo was incredibly envious of County Princess Huayao’s height and figure! With that tall, well-proportioned frame, a slim waist, and long legs, she didn’t even need to touch to know — this handsome, beautiful big sister definitely had gorgeous, toned muscles. Too cool!

In her heart, Lin Mo shouted frantically to the system,

【Aaaahhh! I could totally go for this beautiful big sister! Didn’t you say she’s back to choose a husband? Do you think I’d qualify?!】

Just as County Princess Huayao was about to step down from the stairs, her foot nearly slipped.
