After beating up the unreliable disciple to vent out the anger, the master and apprentice had to discuss together how to solve this matter...

To atone for his sins, Zhu Lei said generously, "I will go and make it clear with the young madam. No matter how the young madam punishes me, I will absolutely not let the master suffer this grievance!"

He was about to go out after saying that, and Jiang Zheng was so angry that he scolded to stop him, "Get your ass back here!"

He called Zhu Lei back to the bedside and scolded him seriously, "Idiot! Do you think the young madam is like me? Will she do whatever you say? Do you think she will beat you up and let this matter pass? Mrs. He is the young madam's wet nurse! Otherwise, why do you think she could be so arrogant and domineering to me for all these years? It all depends on the trust of the young madam! She has been a widow for many years, and she even refused the offer from Madam Song of the Wei Family, who wanted to be a matchmaker for her! Now that you fool has mentioned this to her, if you go and tell the truth to the young madam, how could the young madam not think that you are deliberately teasing her and trying to damage the reputation of Mrs. He? Do you think you will have a good end?"

Zhu Lei smiled obsequiously and said, "But the master is afraid of Mrs. He, and if I don't do so..."

Before he had finished speaking, Zhu Lei was hit on the head by Jiang Zheng again. Jiang Zheng was furious and said, "I will be afraid of Mrs. He?" Did this apprentice know how to speak or not? Although the master was careless just now, he did show his fear towards Mrs. He to the apprentice in his words. But as an apprentice, he should never say it directly, even if he knew it!

When the apprentice wanted to help the master vent out the anger and deliberately misinterpreted why Mrs. He stared at the master everywhere and scolded him, why was the apprentice so smart? Why was he so confused now!?

Jiang Zheng was exasperated at his apprentice's failure to make good!

Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Zhu Lei said hurriedly, "My bad. I mean, the master is a true man; how can you haggle over with a woman like Mrs. He? However, Mrs. He is fierce and tough. So, if according to the young madam's wishes that master marries Mrs. He, there will never be a peaceful day at home. For the sake of the master's future, if I don't apologize to the young madam now and the young madam makes a direct agreement with Mrs. He, what should we do then?"

Jiang Zheng was relieved and hummed, "You're right. Mrs. He is just an ordinary woman no matter how fierce she is. If I really want to deal with her, I can point at her and make her fall down with one finger! It's just a matter of self-identity so that I don't quarrel with her!"

Zhu Lei thought that if he was really so domineering, why should he be like sitting on pins and needles when he heard that he might marry Mrs. He?

But afraid of being beaten again, he didn't dare to speak bluntly. So he said, "So if I don't explain to the young madam..."

"It's better for me to tell this to the young madam." Jiang Zheng hesitated for a moment but said, "You don't have much affection in front of the young madam, yet I have been teaching the young madam for more than ten years."

Zhu Lei said, "But master, your injury..."

"..." Jiang Zheng was speechless for a moment and said, "Let this matter be now. Didn't the young madam ask Mrs. Huang to come over and ask me to take the initiative? I will ignore Mrs. He, and I think this should be the end of the matter."

Zhu Lei said cautiously, "But according to Granny Huang's words, because Mrs. He has been widowed for many years, the young madam felt sorry for her being so alone that she had been in favor of her remarriage since the young madam got married. So..."

Jiang Zheng said seriously, "What?! Doesn't this mean that the young madam wants her to marry here as soon as possible? What am I supposed to do?"

Looking at Jiang Zheng, who immediately panicked, Zhu Lei sighed deeply and said, "Master, I have another idea."

Jiang Zheng hurriedly asked, "What ideas?"

"What Granny Huang means is that she told the young madam about it when she went back yesterday. The young madam personally went to test Mrs. He, and the young madam said that Mrs. He was indeed interested in you." As a matter of fact, Zhu Lei had just said this, but Jiang Zheng had been scolded and scared by Mrs. He for many years. As soon as he heard that he would be tied up with Mrs. He, he immediately blew up. Only now did he notice his words. He could not believe what he heard and said, "Mrs. He is interested in me? Did you listen to that wrong? Maybe, in fact, she has a grudge against me?"

Zhu Lei said, "I was standing face-to-face with Granny Huang at that time. How could I have misheard her? Besides, if that's the case, Granny Huang just came here yesterday. Then why did she come again today? She came here to convey this, of course." He also said that Mrs. Huang brought some snacks here, "Glutinous rice rose cakes are good and exquisite snacks, but glutinous rice is not easy to be digested. And the master is now recovering from injuries. Miracle Doctor Ji personally told us to eat a light diet and not eat anything that is not easy to digest. Granny Huang used to study from Miracle Doctor Ji, how could she not even know such common sense? It can be seen that the so-called giving snacks to the master under the orders of the young madam are just a cover, so Granny Huang just took a basket of snacks randomly from the kitchen and took them with her. This basket of snacks also means that Granny Huang feared that the master and I were not sure so that she deliberately chose something that was not suitable for the master."

At the same time, he reached out and took a piece. As for the food in the prestigious families, chefs always paid attention to the full range of color, smell, and flavor, with particular attention to the exquisite appearance. These glutinous rice rose cakes were all made into the shape of roses, one by one spread on the leaves. The color of red and green was intertwined and looked very lovely.

However, Zhu Lei was eating it casually. As soon as he pinched the cakes with two fingers which were as thick as a radish, he pinched a lovely rose out of shape, but he didn't care. He threw it into his mouth, and he thought one mouthful was not enough. He just stuffed a few into his mouth and said vaguely, "The snack from the young madam is really delicious. But master, you can't eat now, so I can only eat it for you..."

Jiang Zheng kept a cold face and shouted, "Have you had enough, you fool?" He scolded him, "Don't you see that your master is in a critical situation now? How can you still have the mood to eat?"

Zhu Lei swallowed the cake and said, "I said I would apologize to the young madam, but the master refused. Otherwise, will master really propose to Mrs. He? Although Mrs. He is a widow, she was a wet nurse in the high family. She is beautiful and looks younger than the village girls who are eighteen or nineteen years old in Fengzhou. I think she must be meticulous to be able to serve the young madam... Master has been lonely for most of your life, but now it will be nice if someone serves you."

Jiang Zheng's eyes were almost staring out, "Hadn't you seen the fierceness of Mrs. He that day? If I marry her, will she serve me or I serve her?"

"Master, why are you so unconfident?" Zhu Lei said plausibly, "Master, please think about it. Why doesn't Mrs. He let go of the master everywhere? If you didn't know what she was thinking before, you should be able to imagine that now since you know that she cares about you in her heart. It's all because the master doesn't understand her mind, and a woman like Mrs. He's embarrassed to say clearly so that her love towards you becomes hate. That's why she always picked at you!"

Jiang Zheng was stunned and said, "Is this... possible?"

"Master, let me ask you. Did Mrs. He treat the young madam the same way she did to the master?" Zhu Lei rolled his eyes and asked.

Jiang Zheng said without thinking, "How is this possible? Although I have never been in the inner courtyard, I still know that Mrs. He dotes on the young madam so much that even the Old Madam Song and Madam Song of the Wei family sometimes couldn't stand her doting."

"Then what Granny Huang said is even more credible." Zhu Lei picked up the plate, poured it into his mouth, chewed it down randomly, took several mouthfuls of tea from the teapot directly, raised his sleeve, and wiped his mouth. A few drops of tea stains dumped Jiang Zheng's face. Jiang Zheng glared at him. But Zhu Lei didn't know it. He touched his belly, belched contentedly for a few hiccups, and then continued, "Master, think about it. Granny He is a young widow and is a popular person in front of the young madam. If she has fallen in love with you, would she have the nerve to talk about it? She doesn't have the nerve to talk about it, but she wants you to know about it. Wouldn't she stare at you all day and pick at you?"

He now even changed his appellation for Mrs. He.

Seeing that his apprentice had not noticed the tea stain at all and that he had been staring at him in vain, Jiang Zheng had to raise his sleeve and wipe it off angrily, and said, "She was only scolding me all the time!"

"Alas!" Zhu Lei said, "Master, you think about it. Granny He is a young widow. If she often talks to you, will she not be discussed by others? Only by scolding you, others will not find out what she is thinking!" He then said, "Anyway, I think that if Granny He is not interested in you, for her position in front of the young madam, why she would always haggle over with you?"

Jiang Zheng never married all his life. When he was young, he was busy traveling around with his father. Later, when his father died, he was busy paying off his debts. When he got older, he devoted himself to cultivating Zhu Lei. He had never married and didn't have a chance to fall in love with a woman. He was ignorant of the matter between men and women. When Zhu Lei said this, he was still a little suspicious and confused, and said, "Then when she began to scold me, she was interested in me?"

Zhu Lei nodded seriously, "I think it must be the case!"

"But Mrs. He hasn't had a good face since she saw me for the first time!" Jiang Zheng murmured that he always felt that something was wrong...

When Zhu Lei heard the words, he immediately admired him and said, "Master, no need to doubt it! This exactly shows that Granny He fell in love with you at first sight! Granny He is a popular person in front of the young madam. Someone like the young madam who has such a distinguished background, how can the people around her even not know the etiquette and have such a bad attitude towards master without any previous resentment?"

Jiang Zheng said, "Isn't it because she is resentful to me for teaching the young madam martial arts?"

"The young madam can practice martial arts only with the permission of Old Madam and Madam of the Wei Family. If the master didn't have the permission of the elders of the young madam, how can you see the young madam?" Zhu Lei asked back, "How could Granny He not even understand this? Even if she doesn't understand for a while, how could she still not understand this after all these years?"

And he then said, "Think about this, master. If you really don't like a person, you can scold him for a few days. Who will have the patience to continue for a long time? Granny He has been scolding you for more than ten years and she seems to hate you very much. But in fact, apart from scolding you, had Granny He ever done other harmful things to you? It can be seen that for more than a decade, she has been hoping that the master will understand her love!"

Jiang Zheng could not help but be moved and said, "Mrs. He has been secretly enamored me for more than ten years... This is really... I'm just an ordinary bodyguard!"
