The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 49

This was truly asking too much of her.

Who was Duke An? Although she had never met him or knew him personally, based on her experience from reading novels, anyone with such a title must be a prominent figure. And she was just a simpleton. Not really fit to engage in battles of wits and courage with such high-level individuals.

Shen Yue looked at Song Jin disdainfully. “She really doesn’t understand anything.”

Song Dingzhong said, “It is precisely because Jin’er doesn’t understand that you need to be by her side at all times. Only the status of a princess consort can achieve that. Otherwise, what can we do?”

Shen Yue…

Song Jin rolled her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then smiled at Song Dingzhong. “Father, our goal is to kill Duke An, right?”

Kill?

Shen Yue raised an eyebrow at Song Jin. Such crude words.

But Song Dingzhong nodded. “Does Jin’er have a plan?”

Song Jin grinned. “I can control weapons. Just get me close to Duke An, and I’ll use my spiritual power to control a weapon and slit his throat!”

Lu Zhan trembled all over. As a killer who had taken many lives, he had always prided himself on being emotionless and ruthless. But hearing Song Jin say this sent a chill through him. So, to Song Jin, killing someone was this easy. Lu Zhan couldn’t help but touch his own neck.

Shen Yue rolled his eyes at Song Jin. “If killing Duke An directly could solve the problem, do you think we wouldn’t have the ability to kill him?”

Song Jin… It seemed that the road ahead was long and arduous.

Taking a deep breath, Song Jin made a grand gesture, waving her hand heroically. “Alright, if that’s what fate has in store, then I’ll follow father’s arrangements! Just let me know when we’re heading to the capital. I’ll go get some sleep!”

With that, Song Jin turned and walked away. Shen Yue was momentarily stunned, watching Song Jin. But Song Jin had already walked out.

Shen Yue… Just a moment ago, she was fretting with them, discussing the matter. Now she’s walking away just like that? Has she already adapted to her new identity? Such a carefree attitude!

However, as Song Jin left, Song Dingzhong did not stop her. Wan Xi followed Song Jin out.

Once Song Jin was gone, Song Dingzhong stood up. “If Your Highness has a better plan, we will follow it. After all, I am reluctant to let Jin’er take risks in the capital. But if Your Highness has no better plan, then this is settled. We will depart at dawn.”

Shen Yue’s expression darkened as he looked at Song Dingzhong, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “Could it be that Song Jin is the person the emperor is looking for?”

Song Dingzhong’s heart trembled, and he turned sharply, his gaze piercing as he looked at Shen Yue. “Your Highness, you can take medicine indiscriminately, but you cannot speak recklessly.”

Shen Yue chuckled. “Why is Master Song so nervous? Just a joke.”

“It’s not funny.” Song Dingzhong’s face darkened. “So, Your Highness, don’t say it again.”

“Why did you have Song Jin disguise as a man, and why is she exactly sixteen years old?”

Song Dingzhong’s face turned grim, his eyes like hooks fixed on Shen Yue. “Your Highness, it’s best not to pry into the Song family’s affairs. It might lead to trouble you can’t escape. We are merely partners. For the sake of our cooperation, I’m already making a great sacrifice by letting my child accompany you to the capital. You should be grateful.”

With that, Song Dingzhong left in a huff. Shen Yue was not angered. A smile even played at his lips.

He was eighty percent sure that Song Jin was the child the emperor was looking for. This was… interesting! He had thought Song Dingzhong was just an ordinary businessman with a grudge against Duke An’s family. Who knew he was such a significant figure! With Song Dingzhong, such a significant figure, on the same boat, his actions would be even more assured.

And then there was the matter of the wild man. Since Song Jin was going to the capital with him and would have to handle many of his responsibilities, Song Dingzhong would undoubtedly provide detailed information about the wild man.

This… Could be a blessing in disguise! Thinking about this, Shen Yue’s smile grew wider.

Lu Zhan stood by, trembling as he looked at his master. Has she gone mad from suddenly turning into a woman? “Your Highness?”

Just as Lu Zhan spoke, Song Jin rushed back in. Lu Zhan immediately flinched, looking at Song Jin, afraid she might pull out a knife in a moment of excitement. Having someone like her around was really terrifying.

Shen Yue snapped back to reality and looked at Song Jin. “Miss Song, is something the matter?”

Song Jin looked at Shen Yue, her face flushed, wringing her hands, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Shen Yue… Seeing his own face used like this by Song Jin, Shen Yue wanted to strangle her again. But he couldn’t.

“Miss Song, just say what you want.”

Song Jin bit her lip. “Now that we’ve swapped bodies, to respect each other, I won’t look at your body, and you shouldn’t look at mine.”

She had a pristine young woman’s body, now used by a man. Just thinking about how this man could see everything he wanted by looking down made Song Jin feel both ashamed and angry. Not to mention, this man might do some outrageous things. But… There was nothing she could do. Why did the heavens keep striking lightning?

After speaking, Song Jin looked at Shen Yue earnestly, her sincerity shining through.

Shen Yue… It dawned on him belatedly. Song Jin’s female body was being occupied by him, and she was afraid he would see her body.

Pfft! He wasn’t a pervert. Why would he want to look at her body! But…

Shen Yue chuckled mischievously, looking at Song Jin. “I can agree not to look, but what about bathing? Aren’t you afraid of smelling bad? But if I bathe, I’ll have to touch your body.”

Lu Zhan’s eyelid twitched as he looked at his master. Such boldness! Aren’t you afraid of flying daggers? Daggers have no eyes!

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Yue finished speaking, Song Jin’s face turned livid with shame, anger, and helplessness. “What did you say?” she spat through gritted teeth.

Shen Yue shrugged with a smile. “One must bathe. Do you really want to let this body stink?”

Seeing his master courting death by provoking Song Jin, Lu Zhan’s knees trembled, and he quickly added, “Miss Song, rest assured, I will never assist him in bathing, never.”

Shen Yue…

Song Jin glared at Shen Yue, her eyes shining. “Are you even a man? Don’t you know what ‘courtesy demands that you don’t look’ means?”

Shen Yue smiled leisurely. “Miss Song, if you feel wronged, you can look at my body too. After all, my body needs to bathe as well!”

Lu Zhan… For heaven’s sake. He had followed his master for so long and never realized he could be so low! How could he say such a thing? This was outright harassment of Miss Song!

Lu Zhan watched Song Jin with trepidation. Song Jin’s temples throbbed with anger. “Shen Yue, you want to die!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a dagger sprang from Song Jin’s calf. Gleaming with cold light, the dagger flew straight at Shen Yue. But Shen Yue didn’t even blink and continued to smile. “Miss Song, have you thought it through? This is your own body. Do you really want to harm it?”
