Zheng Chenyi almost spilled the teacup in his hands, as he heard her words.
Getting married and fathering children?
He smiled bitterly. True, he was already in his adulthood and it was time to get married. The girl he liked was already engaged and he was never going to be able to marry her in his life. That was the reality.
Mother had become better the day she heard that he got the rank. She was no longer worried and anxious or unable to live a peaceful life.
Currently, what his mother wanted was that he could get married and father children.
He was definitely going to do that, sooner or later. So if that could make his mother happy… He did not have to turn her down right now.
He just hoped that what Lady Chaoyan gave his mother would not come into use.
Zheng Chenyi forced a smile. “Okay, I already became an adult at the beginning of the year and I should get married, but the rank was not granted yet. I always worried that you would not be able to get a girl for me since they were not willing to marry me. However, now the rank has been granted to me and it is the right time to get married. Someone will keep you company after the marriage. I don’t have much demand, as long as she is someone you like and is able to get on well with you.”
When Mrs. Duke North heard Zheng Chenyi’s words, she was extremely pleased. She had been planning to find a suitor the moment Zheng Chenyi became an adult, but he kept turning her down. She was worried that it would be long before she was able to meet her grandchildren, but now Chenyi had nodded.
That was great! It was happiness that returned! How wonderful!
After more than a decade, Duke North’s Mansion was finally living up to its name.
Zheng Chenyi felt his heart stinging with pain at the sight of his mother’s sincere smile. He took a sip of tea, then he got up.
He said with a smile, “Mom, just look through the ladies. I will visit Dali Temple to deal with the tribe matter. Since the Tribe Chief has no justice, I will take this opportunity to remove us from the family tree and establish one ourselves.”
“Duke North’s Mansion is no longer like before, and we will have military achievements. If we are still connected with the Zheng Family, they would ruin us! I remember clearly how they treated us in the past few years, so we should no longer be tied to the family for so long. We will never be able to stand out by sticking to them. I have to get it done fast and cleanly this time,” Zheng Chenyi said carefully.
That was what had been baffling his mother in the past, something mother was so worried about. He would make it clear so that his mother would understand that they were not to be bullied again, and no one had the right to do so.
If they were away from the family.. If something happens to him in the future… The rank would not fall into the hands of the Zheng Family. And they would not plan some terrible trick to get the rank!
Mrs. Duke North felt really happy and said with a smile, “Just do that, I will get down to finding the girl for you!”
Zheng Chenyi nodded.
Mrs. Duke North was smiling sincerely, but he just could not utter a real laugh as he turned around.

At the mansion.
Sword Three was back. He had been assigned to do the business in the Feather Mulberry Land, so now that he was home… it basically meant that the business was done..
