The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 12

Song Jin felt uneasy listening to Wang Fugui’s story.

Attacking a court official!

Ha!

What a serious charge!

Instead of solving the problem, they dealt with the person who raised it!

However, despite his anger, Wang Fugui hesitated when asked to testify.

What was he worried about?

Suspicious, Song Jin looked at Wang Fugui and suddenly noticed a broken pinwheel behind him.

It was a child’s toy.

A child…

Song Jin’s heart skipped a beat. Perhaps Wang Fugui had a grandson or granddaughter to care for, and that’s why he was hesitant.

After all, accusing a family like the Duke of An’s could mean losing his life before he even reached the courthouse.

If he died, what would happen to the child!

Moreover, even if the lawsuit succeeded, the worst punishment for the Duke of An would be the disposal of the offending young master, which wouldn’t shake the Duke’s foundation.

As for the old man…

The Duke of An wouldn’t let him live peacefully!

The grievances of the common people were always like this.

In the face of power, they were as fragile as ants.

In modern times, too, if it weren’t for the ants uniting and using the pressure of public opinion, how could they resist corrupt officials and tyrants?

Thinking of this, Song Jin sighed deeply.

Shen Yue turned to look at her.

Song Jin forced a smile. “Don’t mind me, continue.”

Shen Yue said to Wang Fugui, “I’ve arranged for people. If you’re willing to testify, my men will take you to the capital immediately. Rest assured, the journey will be safe.”

“Leave now?” Wang Fugui was startled, a trace of unease spreading in his eyes. He clearly hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

“Your grandson will go with you.”

Wang Fugui stared at Shen Yue. Shen Yue’s feminine makeup made it hard to read his expression, but his eyes were firm, giving a sense of security.

After a moment, Wang Fugui nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you!”

Hearing this, Shen Yue got up and walked to the door. He opened it and whistled.

At the sound of the whistle, two men dressed in light blue robes, looking like noble sons, appeared instantly.

Without speaking to Shen Yue, they headed straight for Wang Fugui.

Wang Fugui stood up shakily. “Xiao Bao is still at his aunt’s house.”

One of the men in blue robes said, “Don’t worry, sir. You and your grandson will safely reach the capital.”

His voice was gentle, calming Wang Fugui’s nervousness.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go with you.”

As he spoke, the old man wiped tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Song Jin watched as the other man in blue robes suddenly struck the old man on the back of the neck.

The old man was still wiping his tears when he fainted.

Song Jin jumped up, pointing at Shen Yue, “What do you mean by this!”

Shen Yue glanced lightly at Song Jin with his coquettish eye makeup. “This way, we can travel faster and avoid accidents.”

He said this while looking into the distance with a deep expression.

While he spoke, the men in blue robes and Wang Fugui disappeared.

Song Jin glared at Shen Yue. “You officials never speak to us common folk properly. You’re always like gods, and we’re just pigs for you to slaughter!”

With that, Song Jin stormed out.

“What are you getting angry about!” Shen Yue called after her.

Song Jin stopped and pointed at Shen Yue. “Don’t forget, the food you eat is grown by us. Without the common people, you would have starved! We are the taxpayers!”

Without caring if Shen Yue understood the term taxpayer, Song Jin huffed and continued walking out.

Shen Yue frowned. “Crazy man!”

Seeing her master storm out in anger, Wan Xi thought Shen Yue had bullied her master. When Shen Yue came out, Wan Xi gave him a big glare.

Shen Yue…

What did he do to deserve this!

Still, he couldn’t help explaining to Song Jin, who was sitting on her white horse. “You misunderstood. I’m not like them.”

Song Jin snorted with her nose in the air. “Then you must be a pristine white lotus in the muddy waters of society!”

Behind Song Jin, Wan Xi echoed, “White lotus, lotus, lotus~”

Song Jin…

Shen Yue…

Why did that sound so strange!

A sissy was a sissy, even his words were so sissy!

With a dark face, Shen Yue climbed into the carriage.

However, before the carriage could depart, Lu Zhan, who had been in hiding, appeared with a complex expression.

Shen Yue lifted the curtain. Lu Zhan stood by the side. “Just now, two men were sent here to follow you.”

“Did you handle them?” Shen Yue’s face showed no special expression.

His mind was filled with Wan Xi’s echo.

“I dealt with them, but I wasn’t the one who killed them. When I was about to strike, they were already dead. Not only were the men following you dead, but also the ones watching Wang Fugui’s house were dead.”

Shen Yue’s eyes filled with shock.

The reason he dared to cross-dress and expose himself was that he knew his men had arranged everything and he was safe.

But now…

A chill ran down Shen Yue’s spine, his hand on his knee clenched tightly.

The people watching Wang Fugui’s house were killed by someone else.

Did the person who killed the First Prince’s men also know his disguise?

Would this bring disaster to the Song family?

For the first time, Shen Yue felt a sense of dread.

Could there be another force involved in this case besides him and the First Prince?

Eliminating the First Prince’s men would be helping him.

He wasn’t popular enough for that, so it had to be someone else wanting to take down the Duke of An.

Who could it be?

Watching Shen Yue’s expression, Lu Zhan hesitated before continuing. “They were all killed with a single bite to the neck, leaving teeth marks.”

Shen Yue’s eyes twitched in shock. “Teeth marks?”

His feminine eye makeup twisted slightly.

Lu Zhan nodded. “I examined them; they were either dog or wolf teeth marks. But there are no mountains nearby, so it’s unlikely to be wolves.”

So it was a dog.

Shen Yue suddenly thought of the big black dog.

His mouth twitched.

“Anything else strange?”

Lu Zhan hesitated before nodding.

“After they were killed, the bodies were dragged to the woods outside the village and buried.”

“Buried?”

“Yes, there were paw prints around the burial site, likely from a dog.”

Shen Yue was completely shocked.

A dog attacked the people following and watching him, then buried the bodies?

Are we sure it’s a dog and not a… dog demon?

“No human traces?”

Lu Zhan shook his head. “No, I thoroughly examined the scene. Only dog traces.”

Shen Yue…

He lowered the curtain with a complex expression.

This… was too strange.

Was he being watched by a dog?
