The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 5

Pulling the pillow over her ears, Song Jin mumbled, “What’s going on outside so early in the morning?”

Wan Xi sat on a small stool by Song Jin’s bedside, resting her chin on her hand.

“Young Master, you’re getting married today.”

Hearing the voice coming from right above her, Song Jin turned over, nearly bumping noses with Wan Xi.

Springing up, Song Jin looked at Wan Xi up and down. “Why are you so close to me!”

Wan Xi…

“Didn’t you say you wanted me to guard you at dawn every day?”

Her eyes screamed: Do you think I enjoy this?

Song Jin…

What was wrong with the original owner?

Sleeping with a servant guarding the bedside?

Pulling a face of disdain, Song Jin said, “You don’t have to do that anymore. Just sleep soundly in your own bed. By the way, when is the new lady arriving?”

“She’s already on her way. She should be here in about half a stick of incense’s time.” Wan Xi hesitated, biting her lip as she looked at Song Jin.

Song Jin understood what was on her mind and patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. If Father approves of her, I will too. As long as the old man is happy.”

Wan Xi’s hesitant gaze turned to one of shock, and then to one of complex emotions.

With a twitch of her eye, Wan Xi handed over the wedding robe. “Then, Young Master, please change by yourself.”

Song Jin…

She stared blankly at the wedding robe.

What?

She was the one getting married?

Her bewildered gaze moved from the robe to Wan Xi.

Wan Xi forced a grim smile. “I just said, today is your wedding day, Young Master.”

Song Jin jumped off the bed, pointing at herself. “Me? Isn’t it my father? How did it turn out to be me? Didn’t he say yesterday that he was remarrying?”

Wan Xi nodded.

“Yesterday, Master Song did say he was remarrying, but after a night of careful consideration, he decided to let you marry instead.”

Song Jin…

What?

A giant question mark seemed to plaster itself on her face.

“Me? Marry?”

Song Jin paced in place.

“Are you sure you didn’t mishear?”

Wan Xi shook her head. “I asked Uncle Han Bo seventy-two times. No mistake, it’s you marrying.”

Song Jin…

She wanted to scream to the heavens.

“I’m going to ask my father what’s going on!”

What kind of situation was this!

The person originally meant to marry her father was now to marry her!

Moreover, she was a woman!

Wasn’t this person going to end up a widow?

She couldn’t do such a beastly thing.

Grabbing her usual robe, Song Jin stomped out the door.

Wan Xi quickly followed.

However, Song Jin stopped abruptly after a few steps.

Wan Xi hurriedly braked. “Young Master?”

Song Jin pressed her lips together and shook her head, turning back. “No, my father must have his reasons for doing this. If I go and make a scene now, it will only make us a laughingstock. If I’m getting married, the house must be full of guests. I can’t embarrass my father.”

Wan Xi was dumbfounded.

When had her master started considering Master Song’s feelings?

This was… touching.

While Wan Xi was moved, Song Jin had already dressed herself in the wedding robe.

“Let’s go, we need to see my father.”

Overnight, the entire Song residence was decorated with red lanterns and silk, full of festive cheer.

Dressed in her wedding robe, Song Jin stepped out. The servant stationed at the courtyard gate immediately ran to the study.

“Master Song, Master Song, the Young Master has put on the wedding robe and come out.”

The study door was open, and the panting servant rushed in.

Master Song, who had been sitting at his desk, jumped up in shock. “What did you say?”

The servant caught his breath. “Master Song, the Young Master is wearing the wedding robe.”

Master Song…

How could this happen!

He had said he was remarrying, and Song Jin didn’t object.

But he couldn’t actually remarry. If he did, the new wife would be the legitimate Mrs. Song, and the local ladies would definitely visit.

So, he could only take a concubine.

But the prospective bride refused to be a concubine.

After a night of pondering, wasting three strands of hair, he came up with the perfect plan.

Let Song Jin marry.

Given what he knew of Song Jin, she would never agree to marry.

But the bride was already on her way, the arrow was on the bowstring. The final result would be Song Jin storming off, and the bride being left alone.

That way, everyone would be happy.

But now, Song Jin agreed?!

Why did she agree?

Master Song felt like screaming to the heavens!

Life was too hard!

But before he could scream, Song Jin, dressed in bright red, had already entered the study.

Master Song…

His eyes twitched as he looked at Song Jin with a melancholic expression.

What should he say?!

The father and son stared at each other, the air thick with tension.

Song Jin broke the silence first. “Father, I don’t blame you. You must have your reasons. I said yesterday that I would listen to you from now on.”

Master Song…

Who told you to listen to me!

Why abandon your rebellious ways to be an obedient child!

Why!

And you are a woman, why marry a wife without this basic understanding!

Yesterday…

Yesterday, I thought you were just being stubborn. After leaving me, you went to Prosperity Tower and found a beauty.

Looking at his son with twitching eyes, Master Song felt a pang in his chest.

But what could he do now?

As they stared at each other, Han Bo entered.

Seeing Song Jin in her wedding robe, Han Bo frowned and said to Master Song, “Master Song, the bridal sedan is at the alley. It will be here in half a stick of incense.”

Before Master Song could speak, Song Jin turned and walked out.

“Don’t worry, Father. I will bring the bride home properly!”

Wan Xi hurried to follow.

Watching Song Jin’s departing figure, Master Song felt like he had smashed his own foot with a heavy iron.

It really hurt!

Taking a deep breath, Master Song rubbed his forehead.

Never mind, after the bride enters, he would find an excuse to send Song Jin away for a while.

Outside the Song residence, the sound of firecrackers filled the air.

Watching the flashing lights, Song Jin finally understood something.

Why firecrackers were used at weddings.

Perhaps it was to boost courage.

After thirty-six strings of firecrackers went off, the bridal sedan stopped at the Song residence gate.

Song Jin stepped towards the sedan.

As the sedan curtain was lifted, Song Jin sensed the person inside stiffen.

I haven’t stiffened, why are you stiffening.

Rolling her eyes inwardly, Song Jin reached out to the bride. “Let me help you out.”

The bride inside the sedan…
