The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 15

Seeing Shen Yue’s expression, Song Jin glanced at the bows and arrows and said, “Lord Shen, don’t you plan to explain this?”

Shen Yue looked up at Song Jin.

With fair skin, delicate features, and dark eyes, even his stone-blue robe couldn’t hide his effeminate aura.

Twitching his mouth, Shen Yue briefly recounted what Lu Zhan had reported today, carefully omitting their true identities.

Upon hearing this, Song Jin’s gaze at Shen Yue turned disdainful.

So, the assassin she defeated at Phoenix Shadow Tower was trying to kill Shen Yue!

Tsk tsk~

Even when gravely injured, he didn’t forget to be flirtatious!

What a lecher!

They both looked at each other with mutual contempt. Song Jin petted the large black dog’s head and said, “So, today the big black dog saved your life, and you wanted to kill it just now?”

As soon as Song Jin finished speaking, the large black dog took a step forward and looked straight at Shen Yue, as if waiting for an answer.

Shen Yue…

You are a dog, not a demon!

However, his actions just now were indeed heartless.

Clearing his throat, Shen Yue said expressionlessly, “Who would have thought a dog could betray its master!”

Even if you saved me, you are still a traitorous dog!

The large black dog immediately bared its teeth, giving Shen Yue a fierce look before rubbing its head against Song Jin’s leg and tugging at her robe.

Song Jin, confused, patted the black dog’s head, “Do you want me to stay away from him?”

Shen Yue…

The large black dog…

Shaking its head, the dog let go of Song Jin’s robe, picked up the small bamboo basket, and nudged her with its head.

Wan Xi, standing to the side, stroked her chin and tilted her head, a sudden gleam in her eyes as she clapped her hands.

“Could it be that the dog wants to lead you to attack the enemy?”

As soon as Wan Xi said this, the large black dog stopped pushing Song Jin, walked over to Wan Xi, and nodded.

Then it wagged its tail.

Wan Xi’s heart melted.

How could she resist the dog’s charm?

Smiling, she squatted down and patted the dog’s head, “So, I guessed right?”

The large black dog stuck out its tongue and licked Wan Xi’s face.

Shen Yue watched with disgust and frowned.

So dirty!

However, this dog wanted to lead them to destroy the assassins.

Wasn’t this betrayal too thorough?

Aren’t dogs supposed to be the most loyal?!

Could this be a trap set by the dog?!

Realizing this, Shen Yue became wary.

However, when he looked at the large black dog, Shen Yue felt an indescribable discomfort.

Was he really thinking that a dog had set a trap for him?!

Was he going mad?!

With a conflicted expression, Shen Yue asked, “You want to lead the way?”

The large black dog turned to look at him with a small but firm look: What else?!

Shen Yue…

…

Despite his shock, the undeniable truth was right before him.

The large black dog had indeed defected.

It wanted to switch masters.

Although he couldn’t understand the dog’s reasoning, Shen Yue confirmed this and immediately summoned his men, instructing them to follow the dog to eliminate the crown prince’s assassins.

Once the dog left, Shen Yue stood with his hands behind his back in the corridor of the study’s courtyard, his brows furrowed.

The crown prince would never have dreamed that his assassins would be killed by his own dog!

The dog, which the crown prince had obtained from the emperor at great cost!

Ha!

Seeing Shen Yue’s expression, Song Jin found it increasingly irritating.

What a scoundrel! A lecherous, heartless scoundrel! He even wanted to kill her dog!

Rolling her eyes, Song Jin asked, “Hey, what did you want to say when you came over?”

Shen Yue, snapping back to reality, looked at the effeminate figure before him. “Your father said you have the ability to identify gold and silver deposits. I want to ask for your help in finding a place.”

The original Song Jin did indeed have such an ability.

The Song family’s business thrived thanks to Master Song’s management skills.

But the capital for their business came from Song Jin’s earnings.

That year, when she was slow to speak, she finally uttered her first words on her third birthday.

At that time, her father was carrying her on the hillside behind Qing’en Temple in Yu County.

Why they were there, Song Jin couldn’t remember, and her father never said. He only mentioned that her first words were: “Dad, there’s gold under that mound.”

And then…

Her father actually dug up a whole jar of gold from beneath the mound, a jar as big as a pickle jar.

Who knows why Master Song listened to his three-year-old daughter and knelt down to dig!

The skills of the original Song Jin were conveniently inherited by her, a time traveler.

However, this ability had always been a secret between father and daughter, known to no one else.

Song Jin had only used this ability once, at three years old, to help her father find that jar of gold.

She never used it again.

As for why…

The original Song Jin had a rebellious streak against her father. Despite his repeated requests to use this ability to amass wealth, she wished she could cut this skill out of herself and would never use it!

She hadn’t expected her father to tell Shen Yue.

How much had Lord Shen paid her father to sell out his child!

Didn’t he fear that her ability would be exploited?

Raising an eyebrow, Song Jin asked warily, “Why should I help you?”

Shen Yue replied, “You could also say it’s to help Wang Fugui.”

Song Jin looked at Shen Yue, waiting for him to continue.

“If Wang Fugui accuses the Duke’s household, you can imagine the consequences. The best outcome is a minor punishment for the Duke’s third son. But if someone points out during the trial that the Duke is secretly mining gold, do you think the situation will remain the same?”

Shen Yue didn’t mind revealing these details to Song Jin.

After all, the Song family and he had long been on the same side.

Only Song Jin didn’t know it.

Song Dingzhong had protected Song Jin too well.

As he rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, Shen Yue thought briefly.

However, if Song Jin knew too much, he might get scared!

It’s better for him to know less.

“So, Wang Fugui is just a pawn to open the door to the Duke’s residence? He’s just bait?”

Song Jin stroked her chin, deducing.

“If you directly targeted the Duke’s gold mine, with his capabilities, you wouldn’t be confident of winning. So, you use a diversion, publicly investigating the Duke’s third son’s murder case, while the gold mine is your real target.”

Shen Yue hadn’t expected Song Jin to deduce so much from his brief words.

Just as he was about to nod, Song Jin added, “Poor Wang Fugui, he really thinks you’re sincerely helping him.”

Shen Yue…

“This is also helping him.”
