Chapter 268 Sick and Fat

"It's great to not have to attend court this way! I hope I can play forever!"

Minister Lin and his wife were just about to come and see this troublesome girl, but they heard this cheerful voice as soon as they entered the yard.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at your daughter. She got sick and made us worry to death, but she herself is very happy. She looks so energetic, she doesn't look like a patient at all."

Minister Lin rubbed his eyebrows and sighed helplessly, "This girl is in good health now, she should not have a fever anymore."

He was so tired of her. He was worried to death every day, but this little bastard was immersed in the happiness of not having to attend court.

"Don't worry, the doctor said there's nothing wrong with her, and she doesn't have any sequelae. I have someone watching her every day. Xiaobai is also a sensible person. She hasn't been allowed to leave the room during this period."

"She will be almost fully recovered in two days, so let her be happy for two more days."

As soon as the couple opened the door, they saw Lin Mo lying on the bed with his legs curled up and looking at a sketchbook. That posture was really comfortable.

Bai Xiao was lying on the edge of the bed peeling melon seeds, and after peeling them, he had to deliver them to this ancestor.

The Lin family couple: ...

Why does Xiaobai look so much like a little eunuch? It's so natural for him to peel melon seeds for this little ancestor.

"Ahem," Minister Lin coughed, "I've told you so many times not to eat in bed, and your throat is hoarse now, don't eat melon seeds or dried fruits, don't you really want your throat?"

After saying that, Minister Lin took the plate of melon seeds and placed it in front of Madam Lin.

Lin Mo: ...

Bai Xiao: ...

Madam Lin smiled and picked up a seed and put it in her mouth, "Your father is right, you can eat whatever you want when you are well, but it's better to eat something lighter now."

"You are almost well now, and many people have been worried about you during this period. Even the emperor has sent people here. When you go to court in two days, you must thank all the adults and the emperor."

Go to court in two days! Lin Mo almost jumped up from the bed when he heard this.

"Mom! How can I go to court when I'm not well yet? What if I infect other adults? Let me rest for a while. I'll go after I'm well again."

Just kidding, she wanted to continue living such a good life and didn't want to go to court.

Although she couldn't go out now, she could read novels and play with Xiaobai in her room, which was also good.

Minister Lin sneered and patted her forehead, "What are you thinking about? You are dreaming again. We know your physical condition better than you do. It will be almost healed in two days. You are a court official after all. Do you feel embarrassed to stay at home and get paid every day?"

Lin Mo: "I feel embarrassed, why should I feel embarrassed?" [It's useless for me to go to court. I will just stand there to make up the number of people. I will eat melons and doze off every day. It's not very beautiful to have one more dozing person in a row of neat people. I am getting paid for nothing. What does it matter whether I go or not?]

Bai Xiao unconditionally agreed with Lin Mo: [That's right, I don't have to work and I have to punch in every day. It's really too troublesome!]

The two looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes.

Minister Lin was speechless when he saw the two of them. You two may have the same brain.

"No, you have to go to court when you are well. You should have a good rest in these two days. You will be back to your old self after these two days."

This matter was not discussed at all. Even if Lin Mo was throwing a tantrum, she would not be discussed.

After all, she had already thrown a tantrum when she was first asked to be an official.

In the afternoon, Hua Kongque and Ben Meiren came to see Lin Mo, and were dragged by Lin Mo to complain for the whole afternoon.

Qin Zheng: "That's right, how can Lord Xiao Lin go to court when he is not in good health? What if he gets sick again?"

Wei Zhengan: "Well, take care of your own body. You can just pretend to be sick when the time comes."

These two people gave Lin Mo bad ideas, and Bai Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's no use pretending to be sick, the imperial physician will know it once he comes." The most important thing is that Lin Mo's acting skills were not good at all when she pretended to be sick.

She said her stomach hurt, but when she touched her stomach and asked her where it hurt, she couldn't tell. Her eyes were still moving around, afraid that others didn't know that she was smart since she was a child.

With such acting skills, she asked her to pretend to be sick. Isn't that asking for a beating?

Lin Qi was standing at the door listening to their conversation and almost laughed to death.

Xizi just couldn't figure out what was going on. What kind of methods were they talking about? They were all bad ideas.

It turns out that those who can play together are all of the same talent.

Two days later, no matter how much Lin Mo objected, he was still packed up to go to court.

When Lin Qi carried her away, he also took a coat for her and wrapped it around her.

Lin Mo touched his brother's head and said, "Brother, do I need to praise you for being considerate at this time?"

Lin Qi took off the claws on his head and said expressionlessly, "No need to praise, just be quiet and don't mess up my hair."

Lin Mo snorted unconvinced and closed his mouth, then put his hands on his brother's head.

Lin Qi: ...The more you are told not to do something, the more you do it, right?

"Oh, Lord Xiaolin, how come you have lost so much weight? You must take good care of your body after you get sick. You can't think that your body is not important just because you are young."

"Yes, when you are old, all these sequelae will come out."

"Look at how thin Lord Xiaolin is. It must be very uncomfortable when you are sick. Alas, young people should also pay attention to their bodies."

Listening to the caring words of the adults, Lin Mo bowed and walked forward with a stiff smile.

To be honest, she didn't recognize all these adults yet. She only knew a few of the more senior officials.

But since they all cared about her, she had to be polite.

Bai Xiao: [Someone actually thought you lost weight. You did lose weight in the first two days of your illness, but you gained it back later! You are now two pounds fatter! 】

Lin Mo: [Shut up! No one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak! 】

What's wrong with gaining two pounds? People's weight fluctuates within a day. When she is hungry, the two pounds will go back.

Minister Lin almost couldn't help laughing. This girl has been eating and drinking in bed every day. It would be strange if she didn't gain weight.

But two pounds is really nothing. She lost weight too fast during those two days of illness. It's heartbreaking to see her.

It's good to be a little fat. It makes you look blessed.
