Come Back to Prince Leonard's Manor With Me

Li Yanhao looked at her adorable baby face and swallowed nervously, "You come back to the prince's mansion with me, be the chef. Food and lodging are guaranteed, the treatment is generous, and you can even, even bully others with my backing..."

Lingdang looked at Li Yanhao and suddenly burst out laughing, pulling her wrist free and standing up. "Young master, you still aren't serious, just fooling around with me. Alright, after today, the Zhang family definitely won't mistreat Zhang Zhaocai anymore. When Zhang Zhaocai turns eighteen, he'll be independent, and Zhang Zhuzi and Qin Sanniang won't be able to bully him either. Lingdang thanks you for your righteous help."

"No need to thank me," Li Yanhao scratched his head and murmured.

"Hmm, for tomorrow's feast, just tell me what you want to eat. I owe you a meal." Lingdang tilted her head, smiling as she ran out the door, leaving Li Yanhao standing there dumbfounded, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite place.

Early the next morning, officials from the yamen came to notify that the appointment letter for the village head had arrived. This afternoon, the prefect himself would come to the village to officially announce Zhang Mu as the village head. Su Li was advised to prepare accordingly.

"Quick, Zhang Mu probably hasn't left yet. Hurry to his house and share the good news! The prefect personally coming to appoint him is a huge honor. Everything must be well prepared!" Su Li said excitedly.

The family's servant Qingmu immediately ran out to deliver the news to Zhang Mu's house.

When Qingmu arrived at Zhang Mu's house, Zhang Mu was just about to leave and was stopped by Qingmu.

Qingmu clasped his hands and joyfully said, "Congratulations to the village head, this afternoon the prefect will personally come to the village to present the appointment letter to Village Head Zhang Mu. Our lady asked you to prepare early."

"What? The prefect is personally coming to give my husband the appointment letter!?" Wu Caiwei heard this and happily ran out of the house, grabbing Zhang Mu's sleeve. "Zhang Mu, having a fifth-rank prefect appoint you is truly a huge honor!"

Zhang Mu was pleased and quickly rewarded Qingmu, telling him to go back and inform Su Li that he would prepare well.

Wu Caiwei was ecstatic, pulling Zhang Mu back home to dress up properly.

"Ah, the prefect personally coming must be because of the young master. After all, it's thanks to Ali that the young master helped. The young master only did it because of Ali's face," Wu Caiwei said with a smile while combing Zhang Mu's hair.

Zhang Mu nodded and said, "Yes, the prefect must be trying to curry favor with the young master by giving me this honor."

Wu Caiwei said, "Having the prefect personally appoint you as village head is really impressive!"

The young couple chatted and laughed, when Doctor Wu came in holding Xiao Chouchou, smiling, "We must thank Ali and the young master properly. I'll prepare the best tonic herbs from the shop and send two portions to them."

"Alright, then that’s a favor to you, father," Wu Caiwei said with a smile.

Doctor Wu happily prepared two generous gifts and cheerfully set off to Su Li's house. Shortly after leaving, he saw a large group of villagers gathered by the roadside, curious about the commotion.

Doctor Wu squeezed through the crowd and saw Zhang Zhuzi and Qin Sanniang, the couple, inside. Zhang Zhuzi was proudly shouting to those around him, spitting everywhere, "...The official appointment letter from the yamen will soon be delivered to the village. From now on, I, Zhang Zhuzi, am the village head! I’m the biggest official in the village now. Those of you who have offended me, I know who you are. Go home and think it over!"
