The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 6

Seeing the bride sitting like a fortress in the bridal sedan chair without moving, Song Jin tilted her head and frowned. Could it be that her father had kidnapped this bride?

Why else wouldn’t she get out of the sedan chair?

To alleviate the bride’s fear, Song Jin bent over, leaned closer to the bride, and whispered gently, “Don’t worry, I won’t bully you. If you’re unhappy in the future, I agree to a separation and won’t make things difficult for you.”

The bride…

The matchmaker beside them…

Seeing that the bride still didn’t get out of the sedan chair, Song Jin grabbed her hand, saying, “You can’t stay here forever!”

Oh my~

How big is this hand!

Clearly, it was Song Jin who grabbed the bride’s hand, but it felt like the bride was holding hers instead.

The knuckles were big.

The palm was big.

The fingers were long.

And… very strong!

The grip hurt Song Jin’s hand!

…

Just as Song Jin’s mouth twitched, the bride finally came out of the sedan chair.

Song Jin couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly like Jia Qi: “Oh my god!”

The bride not only had big hands, but she was also tall, seemingly around six feet tall.

As the bride stepped out, the surrounding onlookers burst into laughter.

“So the eldest son of the Song family really likes this type!”

“No wonder none of the marriage proposals for the Song family succeeded in recent years!”

“This little body…”

First, there was the tall, plump beautiful woman yesterday.

Now, there’s the tall bride today.

Tsk tsk~

Amidst the countless laughs, Song Jin walked side by side with the bride over the threshold. (Side by side? That’s impossible.)

After the ceremony, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, and Song Jin followed Master Song to entertain the guests who came to congratulate them.

For a while, the Song family’s courtyard was filled with joy and laughter.

In the capital, at the eldest prince’s residence.

The northern cold wind made the branches in the courtyard tremble. The eldest prince stood by the window and sighed.

The book was finished.

He had nothing to read.

It was so uncomfortable.

Rubbing his temples, the eldest prince turned to walk to his desk when he heard footsteps at the door, followed by the voice of his attendant outside, “Your Highness.”

“Come in.”

As the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in.

Wrapped in cold air, the attendant stood a meter away from the eldest prince, “Your Highness, news has just come from Yu Prefecture that the fourth prince is missing.”

The eldest prince frowned and looked back at the attendant, “Missing?”

“They searched everywhere in Yu Prefecture but found no trace of the fourth prince.” The attendant cupped his fists, looking respectful, “It’s as if he vanished into thin air.”

The eldest prince tilted his head, staring at the attendant for a moment before a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

“According to the story, in such situations, there’s usually a girl who appears.”

The attendant…

Huh?

The eldest prince continued, “That girl must have been obscure or very foolish at first. She saved the fourth prince by some coincidence, and then she started an invincible mode.”

As he spoke, the eldest prince’s fingers gently and rhythmically tapped on the table beside him.

“Tell them to focus on investigating any girls in Yu Prefecture who have been acting unusually.”

The attendant…

Was his highness addicted to storybooks?

Could such a matter be speculated based on the plot of a storybook?

But the master’s orders were not to be disobeyed. With a respectful attitude, the attendant asked, “Your Highness, what counts as unusual?”

The eldest prince thought for a moment and smiled, “There’s no absolute definition of unusual, but the girl should either be stunningly beautiful or extremely ugly, or suddenly become proficient in medicine overnight. As for her identity…”

As if thinking of something amusing, the eldest prince’s lips curled up, “Since you can’t determine who she is, why not guard a few key points of the case? That girl will surely run errands for him.”

Seeing his highness’s confident look, the attendant took the order and left.

The night wind in the north was biting, and the cold was unbearable.

The cold night in the north was tough, but the late night in the south might not be any better.

For example, Song Jin at this moment.

The wedding feast lasted until midnight, finally coming to an end.

After seeing off the last guest, Master Song, with his hands behind his back, looked at Song Jin, “Are you satisfied with the bride your father chose for you?”

Facing her father’s gaze, Song Jin blurted out her confusion, “Father, where did you find the bride? She doesn’t seem very willing!”

Master Song…

Nonsense!

At this point, Master Song finally accepted a fact.

He had beaten Song Jin into a change of character with a round of caning.

Song Jin really didn’t go against him anymore!

Taking a deep breath, Master Song said, “There’s a problem with the business in Huzhou. I originally planned for you to rush there overnight, but now that you’ve had some wine, it’s inconvenient. You should leave for Huzhou first thing tomorrow morning.”

Song Jin…

What?

Master Song patted Song Jin on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, “I know you’re a sensible child now. I won’t say much more. It’s too late now. Don’t go back to Pine Scented Courtyard. Rest in the outer courtyard and leave at dawn.”

Song Jin…

What?

Before Song Jin could ask, Master Song quickly disappeared.

Watching her father leave, Song Jin fell into deep thought.

Could this be the legendary pain that the second generation of wealthy families must face?

To sacrifice personal feelings for the sake of family interests, entering a marriage of convenience, bringing prosperity to the family while her own happiness could only be found in a life of indulgence?

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Song Jin quickly made a decision.

“Wan Xi, we’ll leave for Huzhou at dawn. Remember to bring more silver notes!”

Since she could only indulge in luxury, she wouldn’t let heaven’s will go to waste.

Forgive her for having no great ambitions.

After all, according to her memory, there was an all-fish feast in Huzhou!

Facing her master’s somewhat expectant look, Wan Xi secretly admired her. The master was indeed the master, remaining calm and composed in such a situation.

As her master’s attendant, she naturally had to stay calm as well.

“Young Master, Miss Sun said before that if you go to Huzhou, she would like you to help her get a peace amulet from Clear Spring Temple. The incense money she gave is still in Pine Scented Courtyard. I need to go back and get it.”

This Miss Sun, Song Jin remembered.

She had admired the original owner for two years and once declared that she, Sun Qiyao, would marry no one but Song Jin.

In Yu Prefecture, who didn’t know that Sun Qiyao had a deep affection for Song Jin.

However…

Song Jin sighed helplessly, “Alright, you go ahead.”

After speaking, Song Jin turned and walked towards the outer courtyard.

She could still sleep for an hour, better make the most of it.

Wan Xi had only taken a few steps when she suddenly exclaimed, “Young Master, I think I drank too much, and the cold wind has made my stomach hurt. Oh, Young Master, I can’t hold it in anymore!”

With that, Wan Xi ran towards the nearest latrine, clutching her stomach as she went.

Song Jin…

Did you drink too much? Clearly, you ate too much chicken!

Watching Wan Xi’s retreating figure in disbelief, Song Jin had no choice but to go to Pine Scented Courtyard herself.

The incense money needed sincerity.

Since Miss Sun had given the silver herself, it would be more sincere to use Miss Sun’s silver to request the peace amulet.

This way, it could also comfort Miss Sun’s broken heart.

Before long, Song Jin arrived near Pine Scented Courtyard.

Her eyelid twitched as she was almost shocked to her knees by what she saw.

Not far ahead, partially obscured by willow branches, she saw her father entering Pine Scented Courtyard.

The woman her father originally wanted to marry had become her bride.

Now her father was making her sleep in the outer courtyard and go to Huzhou, while he went to her courtyard?

This…
