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

But at this moment, a crisp voice rang out.

"Fifth brother, are you okay?" A girl in a lavender dress walked out of the crowd with a worried look on her face.

Xie Yunlin looked at the girl, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. This girl was his biological sister, Xie Yuling.

"Yuling, I'm fine, don't worry." Xie Yunlin comforted with a smile.

Xie Yuling looked at the blood on Xie Yunlin's forehead, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. She walked to Xie Yunlin and gently wiped the blood for him.

"Fifth brother, you are always so careless and make me worry." Xie Yuling blamed.

Xie Yunlin gently patted Xie Yuling's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be fine."

At this moment, Gu Zhiyi looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Xie Yuling looked at her brother's nonchalant expression, her brows slightly furrowed, but she said nothing more. She turned her head and happened to meet Gu Zhiyi's gaze, and saw a hint of barely perceptible sadness flash across her eyes.

"Yunlin, you really have to take care of yourself." Gu Zhiyi spoke softly, with a hint of concern in her tone.

Xie Yunlin was slightly stunned. He looked at Gu Zhiyi, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He nodded and smiled, "I know, mother. I will pay attention."

"Mother, fifth brother is so careless, and you don't say anything to him." Xie Yuling couldn't help but speak.

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, looked at Xie Yuling, and said slowly: "Ling'er, sometimes, caring for someone does not require blaming."

Xie Yuling nodded thoughtfully. She looked at Gu Zhiyi and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

As a stepmother, it is not easy for Gu Zhiyi to treat her brother so well.

At this time, Xie Yunlin suddenly said: "Mother, I heard that you are researching a new pharmaceutical method recently. I wonder how the progress is?"

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with pride. She looked at Xie Yunlin and said, "Yes, I am trying a new combination of medicinal materials. If successful, it may be able to cure many diseases."

Xie Yuling asked curiously: "Mother, can the medicine you researched cure my fifth brother's illness?"

Gu Zhiyi shook her head slightly and said, "Yunlin's illness is rather special and cannot be cured easily. But I believe that as long as we work hard, there will be hope one day."

Xie Yunlin smiled and looked at Gu Zhiyi, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that Gu Zhiyi had spent a lot of effort on his prescription.

"Mother, can the medicine you are researching really cure so many diseases?" Xie Yuling asked.

Gu Zhiyi nodded and said, "I believe that as long as we keep trying, there will always be a breakthrough. Moreover, once this pharmaceutical method is mature, it will be of great benefit to the entire family."

Xie Yunlin looked at Gu Zhiyi and couldn't help feeling moved.

……

"Take the second young master to the ancestral hall and make him kneel for two days!" Gu Zhiyi glared at Xie Yunce and ordered.

Xie Yunce's heart trembled, and he instantly knelt on the cold stone slabs of the ancestral hall. He looked up at Gu Zhiyi, and a trace of unyielding flashed in his eyes, but it eventually turned into a low sigh.

Gu Zhiyi's eyes were sharp and her face was stern. She slowly walked up to Xie Yunce and said in a tone full of disappointment, "Yunce, you are the second young master of the Ningguo Mansion, you are of noble status, how can you be so ignorant of the rules and offend the distinguished guest?"

Xie Yunce bit his lip and was about to explain, but his sister Xie Huiyi gently pulled his sleeve. Xie Huiyi's eyes were gentle, and there was a smile on her lips, but she was a little serious: "Yunce, mother is right, your behavior is indeed inappropriate. You should reflect on it and don't do it again."

Xie Yunce stared at his sister with his eyes wide open, but his heart was full of grievances. He understood that his sister was doing this for his own good, but he really felt that he was not wrong. The words and deeds of those VIPs disgusted him, and he just couldn't help but say a few fair words.

Gu Zhiyi looked at Xie Yunce's reaction and felt complicated.

This son has a straightforward personality and a kind heart, but he is also too impulsive and does not consider the consequences. She took a deep breath and tried to make her tone calmer: "Yunce, your sister is right, you should reflect on your behavior. You are the young master of Ningguo Mansion, your words and deeds represent the entire Ningguo Mansion, you can't be careless."

Xie Yunce lowered his head and stopped talking.

His mother and sister are doing this for his own good, and he should listen to them.

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall became silent and depressing. Gu Zhiyi turned and left, and Xie Huiyi followed her, leaving Xie Yunce kneeling there alone.

At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in. Xie Yunce looked up and immediately shouted in surprise: "Grandma!"

The old lady walked slowly into the ancestral hall. Her eyes fell on Xie Yunce, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She walked to Xie Yunce, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Yunce, get up."

Xie Yunce stood up quickly, his face full of joy. He looked at his grandmother, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Grandma, you're finally here." Xie Yunce said impatiently, "I've been waiting for you."

The old lady smiled slightly, she sat on a chair beside her, and motioned Xie Yunce to sit down as well. Xie Yunce carefully sat next to his grandmother, staring at her intently.

"Yunce, why are you punished to kneel here?" the old lady asked in a gentle and kind voice.

Xie Yunce lowered his head, a guilty look on his face. He said softly, "Grandma, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have played in the ancestral hall privately and disturbed the peace of our ancestors."

The old lady nodded slightly, expressing her appreciation for Xie Yunce's honesty. She said softly, "Yunce, do you know? The ancestral hall is an important place in our Ningguo Mansion. It is the resting place of our ancestors. We should respect and protect it."

Xie Yunce nodded, a look of remorse in his eyes. He looked up at his grandmother and said sincerely, "Grandma, I understand. I am willing to accept the punishment to make up for my mistake."

The old lady smiled slightly. She gently patted Xie Yunce's hand and said, "Yunce, I feel your remorse. However, punishment is not the purpose, but to make you understand your mistakes and correct them. You have realized it, and that is enough."

Xie Yunce felt a warm feeling in his heart as he listened to his grandmother's words.

"Grandma, I will be more careful in the future and not make similar mistakes again." Xie Yunce said sincerely.

The old lady nodded, her eyes full of expectation as she looked at Xie Yunce. She said softly, "Yunce, you are the second young master of our Ningguo Mansion. Your words and deeds represent the entire family. I hope you can be proud of being a member of the Ningguo Mansion and always be humble and cautious."

Xie Yunce felt his grandmother's expectations. He straightened his chest, his eyes flashing with determination. He said solemnly: "Grandmother, I will definitely remember your teachings, bring honor to the Ningguo Mansion, and live up to your expectations."
