The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 60

Song Jin shrugged her shoulders and grinned at Shen Yue. “You continue cooking. I’ll go next door and not disturb you.”

With that, she swiftly exited.

Shen Yue gritted his teeth as he watched her leave, calling after her, “Don’t use it again!”

“I know, I know.”

By then, Song Jin had already disappeared.

However, Shen Yue didn’t dare to get up hastily. What if he fell again?

He looked up at Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan…

“Uh, Your Highness, I swore I wouldn’t touch Miss Song’s body. How about I get you a chair, and you can use it to help yourself up?”

Shen Yue…

His chest hurt! Song Jin was going to be the death of him! Dying young with great ambitions unfulfilled.

Despite his anger, Shen Yue still had Lu Zhan fetch a chair. Carefully, he used it to stand up, stepping firmly on the ground to make sure it was stable before finally feeling relieved.

Seeing his master’s condition, Lu Zhan couldn’t help but speak up. “Your Highness, now that you and Miss Song are tied together, I think if you talk things over, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Miss Song seems easy to talk to.”

Shen Yue…

“So, you want to be like Yuan Bao?”

Lu Zhan…

Defect? Even if I side with Miss Song, it’s not defecting! After all, Miss Song is using your body!

Lu Zhan dared not say this.

Shen Yue glared at Lu Zhan, “Stand guard and don’t let anyone in!”

He had already lost enough face. How could he let Song Jin know that the food she was eating was cooked by him?

Lu Zhan obeyed, standing guard at the door.

Shen Yue washed his hands and resumed cooking. Meanwhile, his mind was occupied with thoughts about Yuan Bao.

Logically, if Yuan Bao had defected to Song Jin and was loyal to her, now that he had become Song Jin, shouldn’t Yuan Bao be loyal to him? Yet, even Song Dingzhong had been taken aback, and Yuan Bao had wavered only for a moment before wagging his tail and running to Song Jin.

Song Jin was using his body! Could it be that the dog could see beyond appearances?

Shen Yue’s hand trembled as he chopped the onions.

A demon dog!

Moreover, this further made him suspect that Song Jin might indeed be that child from back then.

Otherwise, how could she be exactly sixteen, able to use spiritual power to control weapons, and be disguised as a man?

But how could someone like the late Empress have any connection with someone like Song Jin?

Also, it was said that the Princess born to the late Empress was covered in bruises, yet Song Jin’s body…

While he hadn’t seen her whole body, her arms and neck were fair.

This was very contradictory! The Thousand Mechanisms Poison was incredibly lethal. No one who had been infected survived.

Shen Yue was again unsure.

If Song Jin were truly the Princess, how could she not exhibit any symptoms of the poison? If she wasn’t, how could these coincidences be explained?

As Shen Yue pondered, Lu Zhan was also deep in thought.

Miss Song seemed like such a nice person. Why couldn’t his master see that?

Sigh! As a bodyguard, he felt despondent!

…

The inn’s roof was damaged by the assassins, the beams were damaged, and the furniture was damaged. Shen Yue’s guards worked through the night to repair the roof. As for the beams and furniture, they had to compensate with silver.

The innkeeper was quite understanding. After all, in the martial world, running an inn meant this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. The world was dangerous, and fights were common.

While receiving the silver, the innkeeper even advised Lu Zhan to be careful on the road.

…

Song Jin sat on a chair, her chin propped up, lost in thoughts about the capital.

Time was limited, and she needed to quickly absorb and digest all the matters that Shen Yue was supposed to handle.

But she was just a simple girl! This was so hard!

Five years of high school exams and three years of practice tests weren’t this hard! After experiencing the college entrance exam and avoiding repeating a year, she didn’t expect to face this!

She leaned back, took a deep breath, and ran her hands through her hair, letting out a groan of frustration.

The door creaked open.

Wan Xi entered, beaming, holding a roasted lamb leg.

The aroma immediately wafted to Song Jin’s nose.

A moment ago, she felt life was bleak, but now she turned, eyes shining, looking at Wan Xi.

Wan Xi grinned and handed over the lamb leg, “Young Master, eat some. There’s nothing a good barbecue can’t solve! This roasted lamb leg is hardcore barbecue!”

She then pulled out a small gourd from her waist. Opening it, she held it to Song Jin’s nose, “It was quite intense earlier, so I bought some wine to calm our nerves.”

Song Jin…

How could there be someone as wonderful as Wan Xi in the world!

Yuan Bao sat next to Song Jin, staring intently at the roasted lamb leg. Though his performance in the earlier fight was mediocre, he still deserved to eat the lamb leg! After all, his lackluster performance was not because he was weak but because his master was too strong.

Wan Xi sliced off a piece of meat for Song Jin, who took a bite and said, “Go invite the Fourth Prince over to eat too. We don’t know when the pork knuckle and fish will be ready, and they just fought a tough battle.”

Wan Xi looked like she was ready to die. If it weren’t for the greasy lamb leg, she would have clung to it tightly.

Of course, the main reason she didn’t was that she didn’t want to dirty the lamb leg.

She shook her head, “No!”

Song Jin…

“This lamb leg is so big. If we both eat it, we won’t have room for the pork knuckle and boiled fish. Inviting the Fourth Prince will not only help us build a better relationship but also leave room for more delicious food.”

Of course, the main reason was she needed to take care of her own body.

Wan Xi rolled her eyes and pondered.

Build a better relationship with the Fourth Prince?

Impossible!

Now that her master was using the Fourth Prince’s body, technically speaking, her master was the Fourth Prince.

So, it should be the Fourth Prince trying to build a relationship with them.

But saving room for more good food made sense.

After thinking it over, Wan Xi said, “Alright, for the sake of harmony, I’ll go invite him.”

With that, she stuffed a large piece of meat into her mouth and left.

Lu Zhan was standing guard at the door when he heard a knock. He immediately asked, “Who is it?”

Wan Xi was startled. Through the door, she asked, “Lu Zhan, why are you standing at the door instead of cooking?”

Lu Zhan…

He immediately stepped back a few paces. “I am cooking. What’s the matter?”

Wan Xi…

“I can see the light through the door. I saw you step back clearly.”

Lu Zhan…

He wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Really!

Lu Zhan turned to Shen Yue, seeking help with his eyes.

Shen Yue put down his work, “What is it?”

He calmly asked Wan Xi.

Wan Xi hesitated.

If she directly mentioned the roasted lamb leg, wouldn’t it be too cruel since Lu Zhan was here cooking and wouldn’t get to eat any?

“My young master has urgent matters to discuss with the prince.” Wan Xi lied tactfully.

Shen Yue turned to the small pot in front of him. The pork knuckle was at a critical stage of seasoning. If he left now, how could it be seasoned properly?

After a moment’s hesitation, Shen Yue said, “The food is already in the pot, just waiting to be cooked. I’ll keep an eye on it. You go see what Miss Song wants.”

Lu Zhan immediately understood Shen Yue’s intention. “Alright, I’ll go. Your Highness, please watch the fire.”

Shen Yue…
