The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 20

The blood-spitting woman…

That woman, according to the situation in the dream, should be the mother of the newborn baby.

She had just given birth.

And the man in the bright yellow robe…

Only the emperor could wear such a robe.

But why were the emperor and his woman both spitting blood?

And who was that man who came in later, slaughtering everyone? Was he usurping the throne or seeking revenge?

How strange!

To dream of something so unrelated, and in the dream, she was the baby.

What happened to that baby, and why were the midwives so horrified when they saw her?

Was she born too beautiful, like a celestial being?

Song Jin pondered for a while, then got out of bed.

It was just a dream; she couldn’t dwell on it forever.

Dressing in ancient clothes was cumbersome, especially the chest binding, which was torturous for Song Jin.

Struggling with it, she muttered, “If the chest is not flat, how can one conquer the world! If the chest is not flat, how can one conquer the world!”

The original owner’s figure was too good, making it extremely difficult to bind her chest flat.

Indeed, when a woman is determined, she spares no one, not even herself!

After much effort, she finally got it right and sighed in relief, picking a stone-blue robe to wear.

Just as she finished, there was a knock at the door.

“Young Master Song.”

It was Lu Zhan’s voice.

Although she had no fondness for Shen Yue, this servant with excellent culinary skills left a good impression on her.

She opened the door with a smile, “Are we leaving now?”

Lu Zhan shook his head respectfully, “I need to trouble Young Master Song to apply makeup for my lord.”

Song Jin…

“Didn’t Yuan Bao and the others wipe out the assassins? Why does he still need makeup?”

Is he addicted to dressing as a woman?

Lu Zhan bowed his head, “To be honest, Young Master Song, my lord is also being watched by Duke An’s people. If they find out he’s traveling with you, it could bring trouble to your family.”

His explanation made sense to Song Jin.

“If you’re worried about troubling my family, we can travel separately. Just give me the destination, and we’ll meet there.”

Lu Zhan glanced at Song Jin, opened his mouth but hesitated, looking troubled.

Seeing Lu Zhan’s difficulty, Song Jin ignored it and started walking out.

She liked Lu Zhan for his culinary skills but wasn’t naive.

She couldn’t stand those who acted noble while hiding their true intentions.

Just as she was about to leave, Shen Yue’s voice came from inside.

“Young Master Song, the gold mine is in deep mountains and forests. It’s not safe for you to go alone. Traveling together is better for your safety.”

Shen Yue spoke with a tone of concern for her.

Song Jin paused, then turned and walked towards Shen Yue’s room.

Shen Yue was having breakfast at the round table.

After what happened yesterday, there was no way he would make the same mistake twice.

He decided to eat breakfast before applying makeup.

Song Jin sat across from Shen Yue, smiling.

Shen Yue gently placed his chopsticks on the bowl, wiped his mouth with a cotton handkerchief, and looked at Song Jin with a genteel expression, “Young Master Song, traveling together is for your own good.”

The stone-blue robe made Song Jin’s neck look even whiter. Shen Yue clenched his hand involuntarily.

So effeminate!

Song Jin tilted her head, smiling at Shen Yue.

“Lord Shen, are you worried about my safety or about being discovered by Duke An’s people, making it hard for you to investigate the gold mine?”

Shen Yue, who was staring disdainfully at Song Jin’s neck, froze and met her eyes.

This effeminate person actually had brains!

Song Jin raised an eyebrow, still smiling, but with a mocking edge.

“You came to Yu County to investigate the gold mine, using Wang Fugui as a cover. Now, you dare not go to the mine as yourself, correct?”

Song Jin didn’t give Shen Yue a chance to speak and continued, “So, Lord Shen, you want me to disguise you as my wife to visit the mine. Does that bring trouble to my family or not?”

She waited for Shen Yue to answer!

Hmph!

Shameless Shen Yue.

Using my family’s name to act, and claiming it doesn’t bring us trouble. Does he think everyone is a fool?

Meeting Song Jin’s mocking gaze, Shen Yue felt… humiliated.

His scheme had been exposed.

So bluntly and without mercy.

He…

His eyes fell on Song Jin’s neck again, wanting to snap it.

Lu Zhan, seeing his prince’s embarrassment, couldn’t bear it and covered his face.

He couldn’t watch anymore.

I’d better leave.

With that thought, Lu Zhan turned and left.

Shen Yue…

He wanted to leave too.

The atmosphere in the room was suffocating.

But Song Jin’s eyes were like hooks, holding him in place.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yue forced a smile, “This investigation is a joint effort with your father. Both he and I need to investigate Duke An’s household.”

Song Jin raised an eyebrow and waved her hand.

“Stop with the excuses. Just tell me if the makeup is for your benefit or mine!”

Stop pretending to be noble. I will tear down that façade!

When you ask for help, act like it!

Shen Yue hesitated, “It’s for my benefit and yours. After all, if I’m safe, you’ll be safe.”

Song Jin…

Why does this sound like an advertisement slogan for herbal supplements?

What a lecher!

She frowned disdainfully at Shen Yue, “Choose one. Either I don’t do your makeup, or you stop using my father to pressure me!”

Shen Yue…

Why is this effeminate person so difficult!

If he said it was for Song Jin’s benefit, she would make him explain in detail.

But the investigation must go on; it can’t be delayed by makeup!

After a long pause, Shen Yue, his face darkening, gritted his teeth and said, “It’s for my benefit.”

Outside, Lu Zhan rolled his eyes.

He had already advised his prince to be honest about the makeup request, but he didn’t listen.

Now look!

He’s shot himself in the foot. Must be painful.

Whether it hurt or not, Lu Zhan didn’t know. But Song Jin’s next words made him tremble.

“I want a bowl of lamb noodle soup for breakfast, made by Lu Zhan. If it’s good, I’ll do your makeup. Consider it compensation for deceiving me earlier.”

Song Jin’s words made Shen Yue stiffen.

Lu Zhan couldn’t even light a fire, let alone cook!

I’m the one who can cook!

But yesterday, I claimed Lu Zhan made the boiled pork slices. Now, Song Jin’s request isn’t unreasonable.

But…

Shen Yue felt like he was about to explode.
