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

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyi was satisfied and winked at Luluo. Luluo immediately understood and quietly withdrew to arrange the affairs of the servants.

The spring garden was full of life, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Gu Zhiyi walked side by side with Miss Yang, and Li Wenyuan followed closely behind.

Gu Zhiyi asked: "Mr. Li, do you know the talent of Miss Yang?"

Li Wenyuan said hurriedly, "Madam, you are too kind. I dare not comment on Miss Yang's talent. But I heard that Miss Yang is proficient in everything, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is really talented."

Miss Yang smiled softly and said, "Mr. Li, you are too kind to praise me. Miss Yang doesn't deserve it."

Gu Zhiyi turned around and smiled at Miss Yang, saying, "Miss Yang, you don't have to be modest. Mr. Li is a talented person. If you two go together, maybe you can find some common interests and hobbies."

Miss Yang nodded slightly, satisfied with Gu Zhiyi's arrangement. Li Wenyuan was secretly happy, thinking that this trip was worthwhile.

The four of them walked and stopped along the way, chatting happily. Luluo followed silently from a distance, always paying attention to Miss Yang's movements.

The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. Seeing that the time was right, Gu Zhiyi said, "It's getting late, Mr. Li, why don't you stay here for one night and go again tomorrow."

Li Wenyuan was delighted and said yes immediately. Miss Yang did not refuse and nodded slightly.

That night, Li Wenyuan was arranged to stay in the guest room of Xie Mansion.

The next morning, Li Wenyuan got up early and went for a walk in the garden. He saw Miss Yang admiring the flowers in the garden, so he immediately walked over and said, "Good morning, Miss Yang."

Miss Yang smiled gently and said, "Good morning, Mr. Li."

The two strolled in the garden, talking about each other's preferences.

At noon, Gu Zhiyi sent someone to invite Li Wenyuan and Miss Yang to the hall for dinner. The four of them sat together, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the meal, Gu Zhiyi said, "Mr. Li, Madam has done her best to be the host today. I wonder if Mr. Li is willing to go to West Lake with Miss Yang?"

Li Wenyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said hurriedly: "Madam, what you said is very true. I am willing to accompany Miss Yang."

Miss Yang smiled slightly and was satisfied with Gu Zhiyi's arrangement.

Gu Zhiyi smiled and nodded gently, as if she had expected the two's reactions. She turned to Miss Yang and said softly, "Miss Yang, the beauty of West Lake changes with each season. It is spring now, and I believe you will like it."

Miss Yang nodded slightly, her eyes showing anticipation: "Madam, I have heard about the beauty of West Lake since I was a child. I am lucky enough to see it today. It will definitely be worth the trip."

Li Wenyuan also said: "Madam, when do we set off?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, turned around and waved to the maid, whispering a few words. After a while, the two maids prepared the sedan chair and luggage.

The group slowly moved forward in the sedan chair and soon arrived at the bank of West Lake. The lake was sparkling, the spring breeze blew, and the willow branches swayed gently, just like an ink painting.

Gu Zhiyi pointed at the clear water in the lake and said to Miss Yang, "Miss Yang, look at the egrets in the lake. They are so free and unfettered. I really envy them."

Miss Yang looked at the egrets in the lake with a glimmer of envy in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and turned to Gu Zhiyi and said, "Madam, the beauty of West Lake is not only the natural scenery, but also the cultural charm. I heard that this was once a gathering place for many literati and scholars."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "This place does have a rich cultural heritage. Look, the Su Causeway in Spring Dawn is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake."

Li Wenyuan added: "I have also heard of Su Causeway in Spring Dawn. It is said that Su Causeway was built by Mr. Su Shi in memory of his mother. Whenever spring comes and flowers bloom, the willows on the causeway are swaying and the scenery is pleasant."

The three of them walked along in a harmonious atmosphere. At this time, Gu Zhiyi suddenly stopped and said to Miss Yang: "Miss Yang, do you know that there is a touching legend about West Lake?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Miss Yang's eyes, and she shook her head gently: "Please teach me, Madam."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Legend has it that there was a pair of goldfish in the West Lake. They were once a loving couple, but due to bad luck, they were unable to become a couple. Later, they turned into goldfish and stayed together in the lake all day long."

After Miss Yang heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she restrained her emotions and turned to Li Wenyuan and said, "Mr. Li, do you know the meaning behind this story?"

Li Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this story tells us that although love is beautiful, fate is unpredictable. We should cherish the happiness in front of us."

Gu Zhiyi nodded in agreement, and the three of them continued on their way. At this time, they came to a teahouse by the lake, and Gu Zhiyi suggested that they take a break there.

The three of them sat down, and Gu Zhiyi said to the maid, "Go, serve Miss Yang and Master Li a glass of West Lake Longjing each."

The maid took the order and left, and soon brought tea. Gu Zhiyi picked up the teacup and said softly, "West Lake Longjing, the fragrance is overflowing. After taking a sip, it feels like you are in the West Lake."

Miss Yang and Li Wenyuan also picked up their tea cups, sipped them gently, and smiled with satisfaction on their faces.

After three rounds of tea, Gu Zhiyi asked, "Miss Yang, Mr. Li, what do you think of West Lake?"

Miss Yang smiled gently and said, "The beauty of West Lake is indeed well-deserved. The scenery here reminds me of the lake in my hometown."

Li Wenyuan also said: "Yes, the beauty of West Lake is intoxicating. Especially when visiting with Madam and Miss Yang, it is even more beautiful."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "As long as you like it. In fact, I arranged this tour today not only for you to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also for another reason."

Miss Yang and Li Wenyuan looked up at the same time, their eyes focused on Gu Zhiyi.

Gu Zhiyi sighed softly and said, "I heard that the relationship between Miss Yang and Mr. Li is not going well. I hope that through this tour, you can get to know each other better and resolve misunderstandings."

Miss Yang blushed and lowered her head. Li Wenyuan seemed a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay, you young people, solve your own problems. I just hope that you can cherish the happiness in front of you and don't let missing it become a regret."

Miss Yang and Li Wenyuan raised their heads at the same time, their eyes determined.

At dusk, the four of them returned in a sedan chair. Gu Zhiyi looked at the West Lake going farther and farther away, feeling full of satisfaction and expectation.

……

Gu Zhiyi picked up the wine glass and drank it all without saying a word, but Jiang Minjun burst into laughter.

Gu Zhiyi put down her wine glass, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Jiang Minyun who was laughing loudly: "Junior sister, what are you laughing at? Is there some interesting makeup on my face that makes you so happy?"

Jiang Minjun laughed so hard that tears came out. She wiped the corners of her eyes and barely stopped laughing. She pointed at Gu Zhiyi and said intermittently: "Senior sister, you...you were so funny just now!"
