Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and told Lin Guokun in detail what happened to Xie Huixuan. After hearing this, Lin Guokun's face became solemn.

"This matter is indeed very serious. Huixuan is a good child. We can't just sit back and watch." Lin Guokun said in a deep voice.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Father, I would like to ask you to help them get through this difficult time."

Lin Guokun was silent for a moment, then said, "This matter involves a lot of things, and we need to think about it carefully. You go and make the arrangements first, and I need to think about it carefully."

Lin Yuan responded and turned to leave. Lin Guokun looked at Lin Yuan's back, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

On this day, Lin Yuan came to the study again to report the progress to Lin Guokun.

"Father, I investigated and it seems that someone is behind this matter. They want to use Xie Huixuan's family to suppress our Lin family." Lin Yuan said in a heavy tone.

Lin Guokun nodded slightly and said, "I feel the same way. We can't fight head-on in this matter. We must outsmart it."

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "But if we don't take action, what will happen to Huixuan's family?"

Lin Guokun pondered for a moment and said, "We can temporarily help their family avoid the limelight, and then I will think of a way to resolve this crisis."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Father, what you mean is..."

Lin Guokun smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I can use my connections in the officialdom to keep their family safe for the time being. As for the person behind this, I will slowly find him and bring him to justice."

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father, don't worry, I will do my best to assist you."

……

The next day.

Wu Jingying came in with Xie Huiyi and Xie Huixuan, bowed to Gu Zhiyi, and said, "Greetings to mother."

Wu Jingying's voice was gentle and respectful, and her eyes showed deep respect. Gu Zhiyi smiled and nodded, her eyes gently moving between her three daughters, her eyes full of warmth.

"Get up, my daughter-in-law." Gu Zhiyi said softly, in a gentle tone, "Huiyi, Huixuan, you also come here, let your mother take a good look at you."

Xie Huiyi and Xie Huixuan walked up to Gu Zhiyi as instructed, bowed together, then looked up at their mother with anticipation in their eyes.

"Mother, you look more energetic." Xie Huiyi said softly, her voice clear and pleasant, like the song of a nightingale.

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, with you around, mother will naturally be in a good mood."

At this time, Wu Jingying gently pulled Xie Huiyi's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, look at mother's eyes, are they a little wet?"

Xie Huiyi nodded slightly.

Gu Zhiyi looked at her daughters in front of her and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Jingying, you are a smart child. Since you entered the Xie family, this family has become more lively." Gu Zhiyi suddenly said to Wu Jingying, her tone full of gratitude.

Wu Jingying blushed and said quickly, "Mother, you are too kind. I am just doing my best to show my appreciation."

"Okay, let's stop talking about these polite words." Gu Zhiyi waved her hand and turned to Xie Huiyi, "Huiyi, how are you doing recently? Have you made any progress in your studies?"

Xie Huiyi lowered her head slightly, a blush appeared on her face, she bit her lips lightly and replied:

"Mother, my studies are going well. I have finished reading the Book of Songs and the Analects, and am now studying the Book of Changes. It's just... sometimes I find it a little difficult, and some parts are quite hard to understand."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "It's a good thing to work hard, it means you are studying hard. However, don't overwork yourself, although study is important, health is more important."

At this time, Xie Huixuan interrupted and said, "Yes, sister, you look a little tired recently. Mother, should we give sister a holiday so that she can have a good rest?"

Gu Zhiyi gently patted Xie Huixuan's hand and smiled, "You little one, you always care about your sister. However, mother thinks Huiyi can arrange her studies and rest by herself. Huixuan, what about you? Do you have anything new to share with mother recently?"

Xie Huixuan's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Mom, I found a kitten in the garden a few days ago. It seemed to be lost, so I brought it back to my room. It's very cute, and I want to give it a name."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with relief. She looked at Xie Huixuan's serious expression and couldn't help but smile: "Then you can give it a name. However, the responsibility of taking care of the kitten will also fall on you in the future."

Xie Huixuan widened her eyes and looked at her mother expectantly: "Really? I can give it a name and take care of it?" Seeing her mother nod, her little face instantly brightened like a spring flower.

Gu Zhiyi looked at her daughter's cheerful appearance, her heart filled with joy. She chuckled and said, "Of course, you are its owner, so it's up to you to take care of it."

Xie Huixuan nodded heavily, with an expression that said "I understand", then she tilted her head and began to think about the name of the kitten. Gu Zhiyi looked at her and couldn't help but think of her own childhood, when she also had such innocence and joy.

After a while, Xie Huixuan's eyes suddenly lit up and she said happily: "Mom, I've got an idea. I'm going to call it 'Snowball'! Because it's furry, just like a small snowball."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, looking at the garden outside the window, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes. She remembered that when she was a child, she also had a kitten and had given it a name. She said softly: "Snowball, this name is very nice."

As soon as Gu Zhiyi finished speaking, a smug smile immediately appeared on Xie Huixuan's face.

She walked to her mother excitedly, took Gu Zhiyi's hand and said, "Mom, you know what? Snowball is really cute. He always looks at me with his big eyes, as if to say, 'Master, I need your love.'"

Gu Zhiyi gently patted Xie Huixuan's hand, her eyes full of warmth.

The two walked to the window and looked at the beautiful scenery in the garden. Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with contemplation, and she asked softly: "Xuan'er, do you think that life in our Xie Mansion is a bit restrictive for you?"

Xie Huixuan was slightly stunned. She looked at her mother with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "Mother, I know that the Xie Mansion has many rules, but I don't feel constrained. Here are my dearest ones, my most respected elders, and my favorite Snowball. I am very satisfied."

Gu Zhiyi looked at her daughter. She gently stroked Xie Huixuan's hair and said with a smile, "My good child, you have grown up."

Suddenly, a maid came in with a plate of snacks in her hands and said softly, "Madam, Miss, these are the new snacks made in the mansion. Please taste them."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said to the maid, "Put it down. Thank you for your hard work." The maid nodded, put the snacks down, and quietly left the room.
