"If the master is an ordinary bodyguard, then why did they choose you to teach the young madam among so many guards in the Wei Family?" Zhu Lei was busily praising him and said, "The master looks handsome and upright. Though you are not young, you are still highly skilled in martial arts. In addition to this, you are good in character and attach importance to emotion and righteousness. Such kind of man will not be found even if someone is holding a lantern! Otherwise, Granny He has been following the young madam, and it was not that she hadn't seen any big occasions. If this is not the case, how could she have been infatuated with you for more than ten years?"

"Even if this is the case," Zhu Lei was brought up by Jiang Zheng. He knew most clearly that his master was most proud of his own martial arts, and that he was proud of his correct character and was particular about loyalty to friends. This remark went into Jiang Zheng's heart. Jiang Zheng's heart was moved, and subconsciously he raised his hand and touched his old face. And when he thought of the ups and downs of his life, he could not help feeling full of emotions, "But I am also old now."

Zhu Lei immediately said, "Although the master is relatively old, you have been practicing martial arts for many years. So you look like the brother of me, and you don't look old at all!"

Jiang Zheng glared at him and said, "How do you speak? Is me your brother?"

"Master, if you don't believe me, I can ask Xiao Weiwei to come over." Zhu Lei said with a smile, "Children only tell the truth. Just ask Xiao Weiwei whether the master looks old or not." He felt a little remorseful. He should have saved one or two pieces of glutinous rice rose cakes if he had known this situation. But now he might have to run errands for once or twice. Fortunately, Xiao Weiwei was not picky in eating and ate most snacks. What should he buy to coax the little girl later?

The spring cake across the street or the candy cake across the street? Or just bought a roast chicken? Xiao Weiwei was so young that he could just tear up a piece of meat for her and eat the rest of the chicken himself...

"All right!" Jiang Zheng meditated for a moment and said impatiently, "This matter... Well, let's talk about it later! I have to rest to heal my injuries now, these... Um... I can't care about them now. That's it." With that, he laid down.

Zhu Lei was raised by his master as if he had been his own son, so it was so clear to him that Jiang Zheng was a little tempted. He just felt that the matter was too big to make up his mind at this moment.

If he didn't make him make up his mind now, he would have to be heated by his master when the master realized this and recovered from his injuries.

Zhu Lei resolutely stepped up his efforts, "Master, don't you always teach me that we, who practice martial arts, should also be grateful to repay the kindness while having a life of righteousness! Just as the master would put up with the Crown Prince's slander, it is also to repay the Wei Family's kindness for decades! Otherwise, with the martial arts of the master, how can the Crown Prince bully you? You would definitely make him bleed within five steps!"

Jiang Zheng quickly sat up and reprimanded him, "You idiot! Just think about these words, how can you say them out?"

"Master, please forgive me!" Zhu Lei had a good attitude and immediately admitted his mistake, but then he said, "It's just that I don't know what the master means. Since the master has been thinking about the Wei Family's decades of kindness, how can you turn a blind eye to the admiration of Granny He for more than ten years? Is it the work of a real man to leave such an infatuated woman alone and pretend to not know her love?"

Jiang Zheng frowned and didn't say a word.

Zhu Lei added, "Granny He is also getting old. I thought that she looked young, but she should be almost forty. Isn't she? At this age..."

Jiang Zheng said subconsciously, "I have heard from someone that she should be 37 this year."

"Thirty-seven!" Zhu Lei said with a serious face, "Master, how precious is a woman's youth? What's more, Granny He is not young, and the young madam wanted Granny He to remarry since she got married. But up to now, there are no other actions at all. It can be seen that Granny He refused! Granny He is the wet nurse of the young madam. If the news gets out, with Granny He's position as the manager of the young madam's Dowry, I am afraid that many others will have the idea of divorcing their wives and marrying her to please Granny He! If it hadn't been for Granny He loves the master in her heart, would Granny He have refused to remarry again and again?"

"What's more, what Granny Huang meant was that the young madam personally asked Granny He what was on her heart. Master! It can be seen that even the young madam was hurry about this. Otherwise, how can we know about such a thing?"

Jiang Zheng was already a little dizzy by this news, and now he was bitterly questioned by Zhu Lei. He felt confused and also felt that he was a little wrong. He murmured, "But I am old, and I was going to stop talking about getting married in this life. My only aspiration is to raise you into a man and watch you establish your career..."

"Master is too confused!" Zhu Lei almost wept bitterly, "The master considers for me, but do I have the heart to watch the master suffer for the rest of your life? I dare to swear to heaven that I will definitely treat the master filially regarding you as my biological father for the rest of my life! If the master gets married, I will surely regard her as my own mother!"

He then said, "If the master does not want to think about yourself, thinks about the master's father! He only has one son. I want to inherit the Zhu Family's incense, so I cannot change my surname to Jiang. At most, I can only choose one of my sons to be the master's heir. After all, he is not a real member of the Jiang Family. In the past, I had never seen anyone as sincere to the master as Granny He. But now I have known such a person. If I still do nothing and watch the master miss Granny He, how can I have the face to meet the master’s father when both of us passed away? Master, you will miss Granny He forever once you pass by her!"

Jiang Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "But Mrs. He is fierce and vigorous. What if she does not treat you well after she marries me..."

"It's natural for the master's wife to discipline me, and I will never complain!" Zhu Lei said firmly!

Jiang Zheng then said, "I am old now. Even if I marry a wife and have children now, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to live until my children grow up in the future."

"Master is old yet strong. What is there to be afraid of?" Zhu Lei asked, "If the master is not at ease, I can take another oath. The sons of the master will be my lineal brothers, and the daughters of the master will be my lineal sisters! In the future, if the master has any inconvenience, I will certainly raise them just like how the master raised me! If I break this oath..."

Jiang Zheng could not help but shout, "I'm just saying! There is no need for you to take such an oath!"

Having said this, Jiang Zheng was still much moved. He meditated for a long time and said, "All right, you beg me so hard and not to mention the fact that Mrs. He has been in love with me for many years. It is really pitiful for her. So I will be kind-hearted and propose to Mrs. He when my injury gets better!"

Zhu Lei almost wept with joy and repeatedly praised, "My master is a real man!"

"Well, it's almost time for you to practice martial arts. Don't let your skills go to waste because of these matters." Jiang Zheng looked at the copper water clock in the corner of the room, and hurriedly sent him away, "You can go now, and I will lie down for a while."

After sending Zhu Lei away, Jiang Zheng thought about it himself. Because he was previously instilled by Zhu Lei in one breath, Jiang Zheng also felt that Mrs. He must have been secretly in love with him for many years. For anyone, especially in his twilight years, it was extremely exhilarating and proud to find a ten-year younger heterosexual who had had a crush on him for more than ten years, whose status was not under him, and who was not bad-looking.

When Zhu Lei was there, Jiang Zheng pretended to be reserved. Now his apprentice was thrown out. Jiang Zheng imagined that Mrs. He, who had always been domineering and fierce in front of him, would instead stand in front of him shyly, greet him in a soft voice, and serve him with great hospitality... He just felt that the bad mood from the scolding of Mrs. He for more than ten years that he would have a headache whenever he saw her and would immediately turn over when he heard her voice was swept away!

Guard Jiang, who was nearly fifty years old, hid in the quilt, was happy like a child, and said, "Mrs. He, although there are words in the community that beating is a sign of affection and cursing is a sign of love, it's just that you are such an awkward woman. For so many years, if you just handed me a mandarin duck handkerchief when no one was around, how could I not understand that since I am not a fool? Instead, you scolded me for so many years, and you were still unwilling to tell me about this before the young madam asked you about this? Although I am a real man, it is not proper for me to argue with you… But when you marry me, let's see how I will laugh at you in private! Ahem!"

Then he thought again, "I have planned to grow old alone in my life, and I don't have any savings. I spent it all on Lei'er. Originally, it doesn't matter too much… But now that I'm marrying Mrs. He, I have to save some of the salaries. Otherwise, Mrs. He will have to use her money to purchase the household essentials. How ashamed I will be if this is the case?"

Thinking about the future, he thought, "It would be nice to have a son or a daughter. I see Lei'er as my own child. He is an orphan, and his relatives are like strangers. If he can have a brother or sister, it will be easy for him to travel around and not be lonely."

Because he was bored by the long time of healing his injuries, Jiang Zheng thought back and forth about all kinds of matters after marrying Mrs. He. Although he had married before, he was used to being a bodyguard. So he was used to figuring out all kinds of details and situations over and over again with relish. He thought that his immutable life had suddenly come to a turning point. He might be a blessed person with children and grandchildren in the future. If it hadn't been for the sincere advice of Zhu Lei, he would have been too embarrassed to get married at this age. He couldn't help but feel relieved, "Lei'er is really a good apprentice. A good apprentice!"

At this time, Zhu Lei, the good apprentice, was secretly rejoicing in a cold sweat: "Fortunately, I am eloquent! So I was able to encourage the master to marry that Mrs. He! Otherwise, if that fierce woman knows that I came up with an idea to ruin her reputation to make her not come to scold the master again, she will peel off my skin! Well, I'm not afraid of her. But as a man, how humiliating is it for me to fight with a generationally older woman than me? How can I achieve chivalrous fame in the future? It's just that I didn't expect it. I said it casually, and I was right! This Mrs. He is really in love with my master… That's just right. It's just that my poor master will have such a fierce wife. I don't know how my master will be bullied in the future. No, I can no longer stay in the capital. I have to think about it quickly and find a place to hide! Otherwise, if his wife bullies the master, he will surely beat me up all day long when he comes to his senses."

As soon as he thought about this, he had an idea of where to go. "Yes, there have been many chivalrous people since ancient times in Youyan. The master has taught me for many years. Didn't he hope that I can become famous in the Jianghu and promote the reputation of the Jiang Family's martial arts? What's more, every time the army invades the north, I am afraid that many chivalrous men who serve the country gather in the land of Youyan. I'll go and see. If I am capable enough, I can get some fame… Even though it is necessary to rely on the relations of the master to work in the Shen Family or the Wei Family to become an official in the future, my master will be happy if I have some fame."

Zhu Lei was thinking secretly at the moment. When he went back, he managed to persuade Jiang Zheng to take him to the area of Youyan, "When the master recovers from your injuries and marries Mrs. He as your wife, I must leave immediately! The master will drag me back and beat me three times a day if I leave too late!"

Wiping off his cold sweat and praying with lingering fear, Zhu Lei thought, "Heaven! Please pity me and let me live through these days in peace!"
