The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 33

A pair of hands slowly lowered, and Song Jin coughed.

“I want to remind Fourth Highness that Yuan Bao is your life-saving dog. If you hurt him, what would that make you? So just now, I was accumulating virtue for you, Your Highness.”

After saying this, Song Jin shook her sleeves and walked ahead.

Wan Xi immediately caught up with Song Jin.

Passing by Shen Yue, she added, “Such a great kindness, Your Highness must remember it well, and repay it when necessary.”

Shen Yue…

Could he explode on the spot?

After speaking, Wan Xi followed Song Jin.

Yuan Bao followed Wan Xi, barking once at Shen Yue, then wagged his tail.

And then… released a loud dog fart!

Shen Yue…

He must be the unluckiest prince in history!

Song Jin walked ahead briskly, feeling uneasy.

Today, she had already used her mind control on the dagger three times.

The first time she used it, the misfortune that followed was being captured by the savages.

What would the misfortunes be for the second and third times?

Before Song Jin’s thoughts could form, she heard a loud thud behind her.

Everyone turned around.

They saw Shen Yue with a few leaves in his mouth, lying face down on the ground like a dog eating dirt.

Lu Zhan’s eyelid twitched, and he quickly went back. “How did His Highness fall?”

Wan Xi couldn’t hold back and laughed heartily, “Oh my, a prince fell like that! If word gets out, how will you face people in the future!”

Song Jin…

Though it was funny, she rationally tugged Wan Xi’s sleeve.

“Such thoughts are best kept to yourself. After all, he’s a prince. If he gets angry, we’ll be in trouble!”

Wan Xi immediately shut her mouth tight, blinking her big eyes. “I understand, Master. Next time I’ll whisper it.”

Song Jin nodded.

The master and servant duo continued down the mountain, their shoulders shaking as they walked.

Lu Zhan sympathetically looked at his master.

Song Jin and Wan Xi’s whispers were too loud!

Shen Yue felt like dying inside!

With his high martial arts skills, in broad daylight, it felt like seeing a ghost, how did he fall?

And such a bad fall…

Lu Zhan reached out to help Shen Yue, but Shen Yue pushed him away with a dark face and stood up on his own.

However, just as he pushed Lu Zhan away and managed to stand halfway up, it was as if a ghost grabbed his leg.

Thud!

Halfway up, he fell again.

In the same position as before.

Song Jin and Wan Xi turned back at the sound.

Seeing Shen Yue sprawled on the ground again, Wan Xi couldn’t hold it in, pitifully looking at Song Jin. “Young Master, if I hold it in any longer, I’ll release all the gas in my stomach!”

Song Jin…

“Then laugh.”

Hahaha~~~

In the silent mountain forest, two loud laughs echoed.

Song Jin laughed while wiping her tears, sympathetically glancing at Shen Yue.

This guy’s misfortune was identical to hers whenever she used mind control!

A grown man falling twice in a row!

With Song Jin and Wan Xi’s unrestrained laughter, Shen Yue didn’t refuse Lu Zhan’s help this time and stood up steadily.

He even carefully stamped his foot on the ground, ensuring he was firmly standing.

Lu Zhan felt a pang in his heart for his master.

What sins did his master commit to deserve this!

After this incident, Shen Yue had a sullen face all the way down the mountain.

With the savages in tow, their descent slowed, and they reached the foot of the mountain by the following evening.

Early in the morning, guards had gone down to send word, and now ten carriages awaited them at the foot of the mountain.

The guards stuffed the savages into the carriages, leaving one guard in each to watch them, and the group set off back to the city.

Meanwhile, the Prefect of Yuzhou had led a team up the mountain to search as soon as the explosion occurred.

At this moment, the officers of Yuzhou were gathered around the gold mine entrance.

They were stunned by the sight before them.

They never dreamed that Linglong Mountain in Yuzhou had a mine!

And a gold mine at that!

If it hadn’t been for the hunter using explosives to blast the tiger’s den, they wouldn’t have come up the mountain, and wouldn’t have made such a discovery!

The Prefect of Yuzhou, Zhao Jide, stared intently at the mine entrance, taking a deep breath.

Perhaps, before long, his decades-long career would see a promotion.

“This gold mine is not registered with the Yuzhou government, it must have been secretly mined by thieves for profit! Seal it immediately!”

“Yes!”

The officers obeyed, stepping forward at once.

The miners had already been captured and were lined up to be taken down the mountain.

A fat man ran out of the crowd, rushing towards Zhao Jide, raising his hand to slap him.

“How dare you! How dare you be so arrogant in front of Lord Zhao!” A guard beside Zhao Jide grabbed the fat man’s hand, shouting angrily.

The fat man panted heavily, dust falling with each breath.

He had just received an order from the heir apparent and was heading to the mine when he was knocked out from behind.

He woke up to the sound of a huge explosion, and when he finally dug his way out, this was the scene before him.

Furious, the fat man pointed at Zhao Jide, “Do you know whose mine this is? How dare you seal it!”

Zhao Jide coldly looked at him, paused, then pointed to the left, “Let’s talk over there.”

The fat man snorted, arrogantly shaking the dust off as he walked towards Zhao Jide.

“Whose mine is this?”

The fat man rolled his eyes, saying proudly, “If I tell you, you’ll be scared to death. This mine’s owner is someone you can’t afford to offend. If you want to save your life, stop immediately and give me a thousand taels of silver. I’ll put in a good word for you.”

Zhao Jide rubbed his chin.

“A thousand taels of silver!”

“That’s right!”

“How about this…” Zhao Jide said, suddenly pointing behind the fat man, “Is that the mine’s owner?”

The fat man quickly turned around.

Slap!

The moment he turned, Zhao Jide struck the back of his neck.

However…

The fat man’s neck was too thick, and though he was in pain, he didn’t faint. Instead, he turned back, enraged, “How dare you, Zhao Jide! You dare to trick me and attack me! The Duke of An will never forgive you!”

Zhao Jide rubbed his nose, “Forget it, you handle this,” he said to a guard.

Then Zhao Jide walked away.

The fat man was stunned, “Zhao Jide, where are you going! I tell you…”

Before he could finish, another blow landed on the back of his neck.
