The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 2
Awakening suddenly, Song Jin was distressed that she was a woman disguised as a man. She couldn’t help but shout to the sky, “It’s too hard for me!”
Wan Xi looked at his master with a complex expression. “Young Master, it gets even harder.”
Song Jin…
How could they get along happily now!
“You’ve been unconscious for three days, and just yesterday, Old Master decided to remarry.”
Song Jin was so shocked she rolled over and got up, yelping in pain from her still-sore buttocks.
“I slept for three days?”
Wan Xi stared at her wide-eyed. “Shouldn’t your focus be on Old Master remarrying?”
Song Jin…
From the memories left by the original owner, Master Song was a devoted and affectionate man. His first wife passed away after giving birth to the original owner. Now that the original owner was sixteen, Master Song had remained single without even a concubine to warm his bed.
And suddenly, he wanted to remarry? Was this a plot twist or a change in his nature?
Coughing twice, Song Jin got out of bed. “Of course, my focus is on the remarriage. Let’s go see my father.”
The most important thing in life is to quickly adapt to plot developments!
With such explosive news, as a son, she naturally had to check it out.
Wan Xi glanced at his master suspiciously, then handed her a robe to help her dress. Her buttocks still hurt, making it difficult to walk properly.
With Wan Xi’s support, wearing a long robe and walking with a twist, Song Jin headed straight for Master Song’s study, under the astonished gaze of the numerous household servants.
When she entered, Master Song was frowning over a letter. Hearing the commotion, he glanced at her, then nonchalantly pressed the letter under a book.
“You’re awake?” His voice was devoid of warmth as he picked up the teacup beside him. “I suppose you’ve heard about my decision to remarry.”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Song Jin to gauge her reaction.
Song Jin…
Why was this old man so adorable!
Clearly, he cared deeply for the original owner, but always kept a stern face. And the original owner, clearly cared about this father, yet stubbornly refused to speak kindly to him.
What a pair of foolish father and son!
Sighing inwardly and feeling a heavy responsibility, Song Jin grinned at Master Song, then moved closer and spoke softly, “Father, if you want to remarry, just go ahead. You don’t need to consider my feelings. I support whatever you do!”
She clenched her fist and made a cheering gesture. She was sincere. Her father had built such a large business, proving he was a shrewd person. Shrewd people always acted after careful consideration. As someone who was still inexperienced, she should listen to her elders.
Song Jin’s sudden gentle words nearly made Master Song drop his teacup. He stared at her for a long moment, his lips trembling several times without saying a word.
Song Jin squatted beside him, holding his arm, and continued, “Father, I was unfilial before, always opposing you. The recent beating has made me see the light. From now on, I’ll do as you say.”
Master Song…
Was this child possessed?
Following his orders?
He knew Song Jin’s stubborn nature, which was why he feared her participating in the imperial exam and proposed it first. After all, she had always opposed everything he arranged. But now…
Twitching his eye, Master Song looked at her with a complicated expression. “You agree to take the imperial exam?”
Song Jin nodded, squatting like a little rabbit beside him. “I’ll listen to you, Father.”
Master Song couldn’t help but shiver. “Aren’t you afraid that exposing your identity could get the whole family executed?”
Song Jin chuckled. “Since you’ve arranged it, I believe there’s no chance of failure. I was ignorant before. Please don’t be angry, Father.”
Master Song shivered several times.
Did he just set up Song Jin to take the exam?
Master Song felt a lump in his throat, looking at Song Jin with melancholy. Suddenly realizing that she was squatting beside him like a girl, his face turned dark.
“A man should stand tall and dignified!”
He always feared someone finding out Song Jin was a girl, waking up in the middle of the night in terror many times. Raising a daughter disguised as a son wasn’t easy!
At his shout, Song Jin immediately responded, “I understand, Father. Rest assured, outside, I’m very manly. Only in front of you am I like this.”
Master Song…
Glancing at her thin shoulders, he couldn’t help but touch her forehead. Was she feverish from the beating?
Overwhelmed, Master Song took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “Alright, you may leave. I have matters to attend to.”
He needed to digest this. It was too terrifying. How had his stubborn child suddenly become so obedient! Moreover, why did she suddenly want to be close to him! Too scary.
Song Jin immediately stood up. “Alright, Father, I’ll leave now.”
Watching her departing figure, Master Song couldn’t regain his composure for a long time.
What should he do now!
The exam was manageable; before the test, he could just feed her something to make her sleep through it. But the remarriage…
Initially, he only wanted a concubine. He announced remarriage knowing Song Jin would oppose it. Now it backfired!
With plans changed, he downed his cold tea and ordered, “Go to Phoenix Shadow Tower and inform them it will be a remarriage.”
His servant, Han Bo, left to carry out the order.
Han Bo exited through the main gate, while Song Jin and Wan Xi left through the back gate. Having slept for three days, she was starving and needed to replenish.
“Did you bring money?” Song Jin asked Wan Xi.
Wan Xi patted the purse at his waist. “Rest assured, Young Master. I always have money on me.”
Song Jin smiled, satisfied. “Let’s go eat something good!”
Wan Xi, worried, suggested, “Young Master, you’re still injured. Perhaps it’s better to rest at home. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll have the kitchen prepare it.”
Song Jin shook her head. Her father was remarrying tomorrow. The kitchen must be overwhelmed with preparations for the wedding feast. She couldn’t add to the chaos! As a filial child, the best she could do was spend her family’s money on a feast elsewhere.
“Let’s eat out.”
A proper servant must be: Whatever the master says, goes. Without further ado, Wan Xi followed Song Jin out.
After a few steps, he couldn’t contain his curiosity. “Young Master, aren’t you worried about the remarriage?”
Song Jin shook her head. “Why should I be? I’m not the one remarrying!”
At sixteen, she couldn’t be a hindrance to her father’s happiness in his later years! Respect the elderly’s right to love freely! She had this understanding. Even though her father wasn’t that old.
Wan Xi stared at Song Jin. “Young Master, you’ve changed.”
Song Jin felt guilty under his gaze. “Do you like me like this or the way I was before?”
Wan Xi blushed, leaned in, and whispered shyly, “Young Master, we’re both girls. We can’t like each other.”
Song Jin…
Sorry for bothering you.
