The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 44

As long as there was food, Wan Xi’s world was filled with sunshine.

The master and servant joyfully headed towards Pine Fragrance Courtyard.

At this moment, Lu Zhan was hesitantly bringing out the boiled fish he had packed from Phoenix Shadow Tower.

Seeing the chef carrying the dish out, Wan Xi’s eyes lit up. She immediately abandoned Song Jin and ran straight to Lu Zhan.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

Lu Zhan raised his chin. “After this pot of boiled fish, I consider my great debt to you repaid.”

Wan Xi pouted unwillingly. “What I gave you was my last leg, while what you gave me was just something you could make effortlessly. It’s like I gave you all my ten taels of silver, while you gave me only ten taels of gold from your gold mine. It’s not the same.”

Lu Zhan… What more do you want!

Wan Xi took the large pot of boiled fish from Lu Zhan’s hands and walked towards the house. “Considering my great debt to you, I’ll let you in on something.”

The aroma of the chili peppers made Wan Xi swallow her saliva as she spoke.

Lu Zhan… That bad feeling returned.

Staring at Wan Xi, Lu Zhan’s heart raced. After serving as a guard for so many years, he hadn’t felt this nervous in a long time.

Carrying the large pot, Wan Xi stepped over the threshold and said without turning her head, “Your Fourth Highness signed and sealed a document for my young master. My young master plans to use that document to exchange for you.”

Lu Zhan… “Are you serious?” Lu Zhan took a step to stand in front of Wan Xi.

Wan Xi looked up at Lu Zhan. “Why would I lie to you? Besides, although the Song family isn’t royalty, we’re still a wealthy family. You won’t be mistreated in our household.”

Lu Zhan… He turned sharply and looked at his master sitting in the room.

Shen Yue… He had heard Wan Xi’s words clearly. Was Song Jin, that effeminate person, really going to use the signed document to exchange for Lu Zhan? Was she out of her mind! Why did she always come up with such strange requests! But if Song Jin really did that, how could he refuse! It was… Driving him crazy!

Song Jin followed Lu Zhan into the house. Seeing Wan Xi carrying the boiled fish towards the left room, Song Jin called out to her. “Go to the right.”

Wan Xi obeyed and turned into the room where Shen Yue was.

Shen Yue looked at Song Jin. “What is the meaning of this, young master? This is my room.”

Song Jin spat directly at Shen Yue’s face. “Pah!” Perfectly, the saliva sprayed in a radial pattern, evenly distributed on Shen Yue’s face.

Lu Zhan… Oh my heavens! What just happened!

Shen Yue felt he couldn’t even catch his breath. Slamming the table, Shen Yue stood up abruptly. “Song Jin, do you have a death wish?”

Saying this, he grabbed Song Jin’s neck. He had wanted to snap this delicate neck for a long time! Now it was delivered to him!

Song Jin calmly met Shen Yue’s fiery eyes and then turned her attention to Lu Zhan’s calf.

Lu Zhan… Not knowing what was going to happen, instinctively clamped his legs tight. Somehow, it felt safer that way.

However, in the next instant, the dagger hidden in his calf sheath sprang out. The dagger turned in mid-air and flew straight toward Shen Yue’s throat.

Lu Zhan broke out in a cold sweat, forgetting to keep his legs tight, and rushed towards Shen Yue, reaching out to grab the floating dagger. How could he forget that the young master could control weapons!

However, even with his considerable strength, the dagger hovered at Shen Yue’s throat, completely unmoved.

Song Jin’s eyes glinted coldly, and she spoke clearly and slowly. “Your Highness, didn’t you just swear on your princely honor not to reveal my secret of controlling weapons? Why don’t you care about your own son’s future?”

Lu Zhan… What kind of reference was that?

Wan Xi’s eyes shone with excitement. I know, I know, but now isn’t the time to say it! I really want to say it! The feeling of knowing a secret but not being able to share it immediately was too frustrating!

Wan Xi clenched her fists, restraining herself from blurting out the reference at this moment.

Shen Yue was stunned, staring at Song Jin with a dark expression. “What madness is this? When did I reveal your secret?”

“You told my father!”

Shen Yue… What?

Pausing for a moment, his thoughts shattered. Shen Yue suddenly realized. Damn! Song Dingzhong, that old fox, didn’t originally know! No wonder he reacted that way! That sly old wolf!

Clenching his fist, Shen Yue said to Song Jin. “But that’s your father!”

Song Jin raised an eyebrow. “Is my father not a person?”

Shen Yue… “I didn’t know your father didn’t know your secret.”

Song Jin sneered. “That’s your excuse? Even if my father knows my secret, you think you can talk about it freely? Why do you love gossiping so much! Are you a gossiping old woman?”

Shen Yue… With a knife at his throat, he couldn’t break this effeminate person’s neck. After all, breaking this effeminate person’s neck would mean losing his own life as well. Not worth it. But not breaking it was infuriating. He was about to explode! He couldn’t outtalk this effeminate person. He really wanted to stuff something in her mouth!

“What do you want?” Shen Yue finally chose to compromise. Of course, it wasn’t a choice. He had no other option.

Song Jin pointed at Lu Zhan. “I want him.”

Lu Zhan shivered.

“Tomorrow, when you leave Yuzhou for the capital, I want you to leave Lu Zhan behind. Of course, if you can’t bear to part with Lu Zhan, you can send someone with cooking skills equal to his. I’m very reasonable.”

Shen Yue… Finding someone with cooking skills equal to Lu Zhan’s was easy! But it was Lu Zhan’s cooking that was top-notch. In all his life, he had never met anyone whose cooking surpassed Lu Zhan’s! Where could he find such a person! If there were, would he have to cook every meal himself!

“No, pick another condition.”

“No, I won’t!”

“Pick another!”

“No!”

…

Lu Zhan had already given up. Leaning against the doorframe with a face devoid of hope, he looked sorrowfully at the ceiling beams. Based on his master’s past encounters with Song Jin, his master had never won. So, this time, he was definitely staying.

Wan Xi joyfully patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder and then, with a brotherly expression of loyalty, said, “Tomorrow I want to eat noodles with mutton sauce!”

Lu Zhan… Whatever, I can’t do anything anyway.

Song Jin stared at Shen Yue. “Now, can Your Highness remove your hand from my neck? You’ve already harassed my chin several times, and now you’re touching my neck. People might get the wrong idea about us!”

Shen Yue hadn’t planned to let go immediately. After all, he was furious and wanted to squeeze a bit harder. However…

As soon as Song Jin spoke, Shen Yue let go as if shocked. Two grown men, what could be inappropriate! Besides, this was an effeminate person!

Song Jin looked at Shen Yue’s reaction, smiling slyly and contentedly. By law, this Fourth Prince should fall again. Serves him right! Who told him not to keep his promise!
