The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 21

Song Jin smiled slowly, “Don’t tell me Lu Zhan only knows how to make boiled pork slices. From yesterday’s dish, both the taste and the knife skills were evident. He’s a master chef, so my request shouldn’t be difficult for you!”

Shen Yue…

If this isn’t difficult, what is!

He, a dignified prince, has to cook for this effeminate person twice!

But he couldn’t say that!

One lie requires countless actions to cover it up.

“Also, have Lu Zhan make extra. Wan Xi and Yuan Bao haven’t had breakfast either.”

Shen Yue…

Not only does he have to cook for this effeminate person, but also for his servant and his dog?

“Song Jin, don’t go too far!” Shen Yue said, his face darkening as he looked at Song Jin.

Song Jin smiled like a master, “Too far? How am I going too far? Lord Shen, why don’t you explain, so we can compare whether it’s more excessive for me to ask for a bowl of lamb noodle soup or for you to deceive me early in the morning. Besides, you still need my help!”

Shen Yue…

Lu Zhan, standing under the eaves, hurried inside, fearing his prince might explode on the spot.

“If Young Master Song wants lamb noodle soup, I will make it.”

Shen Yue…

His eyes darted to Lu Zhan.

You’ll make it?

Lu Zhan…

I can’t cook, please don’t joke!

Shen Yue…

If you can’t cook, why did you agree!

The prince’s refined eyes almost cursed.

Lu Zhan…

If I don’t agree, am I supposed to watch you get humiliated? I can’t do that!

Shen Yue…

Should I thank you?

For making me cook for two effeminate people and a dog!

Lu Zhan…

We have no choice!

Shen Yue…

After a series of eye exchanges, Shen Yue, with a face about to crack from anger, stormed out.

As he stepped out, Wan Xi approached with the large black dog, Yuan Bao.

Seeing Shen Yue, Yuan Bao rushed forward and barked at him.

Shen Yue…

It’s bad enough being bullied by people, now I have to be bullied by a dog!

But can he hit this dog!

No!

Not only because the dog helped him kill yesterday, making it a benefactor, no, a bene-dog.

But also because, according to the hidden guards, even if he fought the dog, he probably wouldn’t win!

Fuming, Shen Yue headed straight to the kitchen.

All Lu Zhan could do was lock the kitchen door to prevent the Song family from seeing his prince cooking.

Watching his prince chop meat angrily, Lu Zhan rubbed his chin and brought up a topic.

“Your Highness, why does that large black dog seem so strange? It’s a rare breed the crown prince begged from His Majesty. These dogs are said to be proud by nature, loyal only to the royal family, and never betray once they recognize a master. How did it turn out like this?”

Not only did it betray its original master, but it also killed all the original master’s men.

Too ruthless!

Lu Zhan’s topic successfully diverted some of Shen Yue’s anger.

The same questions puzzled Shen Yue.

He had been collaborating with Song Dingzhong for five years.

Before collaborating, he had investigated Song Dingzhong’s background—just a merchant.

As Song Dingzhong’s son, Song Jin couldn’t possibly be from the royal family of Great Yan.

After all, sixteen years ago, the lost one was just a princess.

A princess born with severe poisoning, and even if she had survived then, she would have died long ago!

Could the royal family have fabricated the tales about the black dog?

Shen Yue couldn’t think of a better explanation.

However…

The emperor had ordered an investigation of all sixteen-year-old girls, even deceased ones.

Does age make one more insecure? Issuing such an order!

As he chopped meat, Shen Yue’s eyes grew cold.

With the lamb cut into small pieces, Shen Yue began to cook the meat.

The aroma of lamb mixed with the pungent scent of chili quickly filled the kitchen.

Lu Zhan couldn’t help but swallow but didn’t dare ask Shen Yue to make a bowl for him.

Smelling the fragrance, Lu Zhan silently vowed to learn how to light a fire.

“Your Highness, Song Dingzhong only agreed to let Song Jin find the way to the gold mine, not to accompany you. If you take Song Jin while Song Dingzhong is away, once he finds out…”

Shen Yue sneered.

“Let him find out. What can he do to me!”

He said it boldly, but he knew how protective Song Dingzhong was of his effeminate son.

However, if Song Jin didn’t go to the gold mine, it would take half a month for his men to search.

He couldn’t stay in Yu County that long.

“Ensure his protection on the way! If there’s any danger, evacuate him first.”

Shen Yue added irritably.

Lu Zhan nodded and accepted the order.

After about half an hour, three bowls of steaming lamb noodle soup were ready.

“Take them over and tell them I can’t stand the smell of lamb.”

Lu Zhan obeyed and carried the tray over.

In the main hall.

Song Jin and Wan Xi were waiting eagerly.

Seeing Lu Zhan come in with the noodles, they both swallowed hard.

The large black dog, sitting beside Song Jin, eyed Lu Zhan warily. Could it be spicy again!

Lu Zhan stood at the door with the tray, “Young Master Song, my lord can’t stand the smell of lamb. Please have your meal here.”

Song Jin rolled her eyes.

White lotus indeed, so many problems!

If he couldn’t stand the smell, why did he come out earlier!

Although complaining internally, her feet moved happily.

Once Song Jin and Wan Xi were inside the room, Shen Yue quickly entered the other room and shut the door.

He needed to change clothes.

He couldn’t go out smelling like lamb!

As the first bite of the spicy, flavorful lamb noodle soup entered her mouth, Wan Xi excitedly pounded the table.

Chewing the noodles, she said, “Young Master, this is delicious! I’ve never had such tasty noodles in my life!”

Song Jin buried her head in the bowl.

Not only Wan Xi, but even she, before and after crossing over, had never eaten such delicious noodles.

This Lu Zhan is truly remarkable!

“Young Master, how about we find a way to keep Lu Zhan here?”

Wan Xi, having finished her bowl in a few bites, suggested with shining eyes after drinking the last drop of soup.

Song Jin also finished her soup.

“I’d love to, but Shen the White Lotus won’t give him up!”

Wan Xi wiggled her eyebrows, “Didn’t Lord Shen agree to grant you a condition yesterday? He even signed and stamped it. How about using that to make him leave Lu Zhan here?”

Song Jin’s eyes lit up, and she patted Wan Xi’s shoulder, “That’s a great idea!”

Wan Xi beamed with pride, “Right? After eating these noodles, I feel like my brain is working faster!”

Song Jin…

Lu Zhan, leaning against the wall outside, felt despair.

Would his prince really leave him here as a cook!
