The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 458 - 431: The Eldest Princess’s Favor

"What instructions does the Princely Heir have?"

Zuo Zhikang looked at Wei Wushang with a smile, his attitude was very appropriate.

As the Left City Guardian of Yunyang City, he had many opportunities to deal with the Wei Family while serving in this position. After Wei Wushang proved himself capable, Zuo Zhikang often dealt directly with him.

Over time, Zuo Zhikang developed a deeper understanding of Wei Wushang.

Though Wei Wushang is much younger than him, treating him like a naive junior was bound to lead this seasoned elder into trouble.

"Left City Guardian, I dare not give instructions!"

Wei Wushang smiled, "It’s just a minor issue, I need your assistance!"

"Please speak, Princely Heir. As long as I am able to do it, you can trust there will be no objections."

Zuo Zhikang observed Wei Wushang, ensuring he wasn’t just making polite conversation, and finally relaxed.

To be honest, he was somewhat afraid that Wei Wushang would ask him to do something difficult.

Now it seemed Wei Wushang truly wasn’t trying to make it hard for him.

Thus, Zuo Zhikang was naturally at ease.

"Here’s the situation!"

Wei Wushang explained the matter briefly, "These three brothers-in-law of mine, they are educated and sensible, but lack experience."

"Therefore, I need to trouble Left City Guardian to find them a suitable position!"

"Of course, let me be clear upfront. If they prove to be useless, you need not consider my face and should dismiss them as required."

"On the other hand, if they show potential, I would request Left City Guardian to cultivate them further!"

For these three brothers-in-law, Wei Wushang indeed put in substantial effort.

By making things clear to this extent, with Zuo Zhikang’s many years of official experience, there’s no doubt he would understand Wei Wushang’s intention.

"Princely Heir can rest assured, I know what to do!"

After hearing Wei Wushang’s words, Zuo Zhikang understood his intentions.

First, it was evident that Wei Wushang genuinely cared about this matter, but this concern was likely because of the Princely Heir’s wife, not for the three brothers-in-law.

As for the Princely Heir’s wife’s brothers?

Being the Left City Guardian, Zuo Zhikang had some understanding.

As a local officer, he had at least a rough idea of the family powers within his jurisdiction, even if he wasn’t entirely knowledgeable.

The Yuan Family is considered an emerging power in Yunyang City.

In just a few years, they have risen from an ordinary household to a prestigious family, an ascent truly remarkable.

Two sons of the Yuan Family have already achieved military honors and are enshrined as marquises.

The youngest, Yuan Yindi, is now a high-ranking Imperial Censor, even surpassing him as Left City Guardian.

As for the first and fourth, they run inexpensive eateries spread across Daxia, truly earning a fortune.

The rise of this family could serve as a truly inspirational tale.

Logically, the positions for the Yuan Family’s young men wouldn’t require intervention from Wei Wushang. Yet, it was Wei Wushang, the rightful heir of the Wei Family, who stepped in.

With Zuo Zhikang’s astuteness, it was impossible not to see through the intrigue in this matter.

"The positions are not easy to arrange!"

Zuo Zhikang quickly understood the situation.

However, since Wei Wushang had already sought him out, Zuo Zhikang could not refuse.

"Left City Guardian, I apologize for the inconvenience!"

"In this matter, I am indebted to you, and shall repay you generously one day!"

Wei Wushang earnestly made his promise.

In his view, someone as capable as Zuo Zhikang remaining as a mere Left City Guardian in Yunyang City was underutilized, and he should be given greater responsibilities.

Zuo Zhikang was unaware of Wei Wushang’s thoughts; if he had known, he surely would have sabotaged Wei Wushang’s request.

...

After seeing off Zuo Zhikang, Wei Wushang returned to his courtyard, only to be informed that Yuan Bao was still at the Eldest Princess’s place.

"What is the Young Madam doing at my mother’s place?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Wei Wushang was genuinely curious.

He knew his mother really liked Yuan Bao, but at this point, it seemed a bit excessive, didn’t it?

Have they truly become like a real mother and daughter?

Isn’t this a mistake? He is the biological child, after all!

Wei Wushang paced around the courtyard several times, deciding to see what his mother and Yuan Bao were doing, given their closeness.

As for the two brothers-in-law brought back yesterday, Wei Wushang had already entirely forgotten about them.

When he reached the Eldest Princess’s courtyard and heard the commotion inside, he was utterly surprised.
