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

Gu Zhiyi couldn't help but frowned when she heard this. She looked at her makeup, then at Jiang Minjun, and became even more confused. At this time, the housekeeper of the Xie Mansion came in and said respectfully, "Madam, the distinguished guests have arrived. Should we start the dinner now?"

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly, turned to Jiang Minjun, and said with a smile: "Sister, since you are smiling, it means you are in a good mood. How about you co-host the dinner with me tonight?"

Jiang Minjun was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily: "Don't worry, sister, I will do my best to make this dinner a complete success."

The dinner started, and the banquet hall of Xie's house was brightly lit and filled with laughter. Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minyun stood in the middle of the hall, welcoming and seeing off guests with a smile on their faces, handling the situation with ease.

Jiang Minyun whispered to Gu Zhiyi: "Sister, do you know? When I first saw you, I was attracted by your charm. At that time, I thought, how great it would be if I could become your junior sister."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a hint of emotion in her eyes: "Yes, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, we have known each other for many years. Looking back on those years, we learned from the master together and experienced ups and downs together. That friendship still makes me feel warm."

As the two were talking, a figure suddenly broke into the banquet hall. It was a woman in black, with a beautiful face and a cold temperament. She held a dagger in her hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense. Everyone stood up and stared at the woman in black warily. Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minyun also clenched their fists nervously.

The woman in black walked up to Gu Zhiyi and sneered, "Gu Zhiyi, do you think your Xie Mansion can protect you? Today, I want to let you know how dangerous the world is."

A trace of anger flashed in Gu Zhiyi's eyes, and she asked coldly: "Who are you? Why are you targeting me?"

The woman in black laughed: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I want you to pay the price. Back then, you caused my family to be destroyed. Today, I want you to pay with blood."

Gu Zhiyi's face changed, and she remembered what happened back then. It turned out that the black-clothed woman's family was once a powerful force in the martial arts world, but due to a misunderstanding, Gu Zhiyi's master ordered the extermination of her family. And the black-clothed woman was the survivor of that tragedy.

Jiang Minjun looked at Gu Zhiyi nervously, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She quietly held Gu Zhiyi's hand tightly, and squeezed it hard, as if to tell her: "Sister, don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

Gu Zhiyi felt Jiang Minjun's warmth. She smiled and said to the woman in black, "I feel deeply guilty about what happened back then. But it's over now. Why do you still cling to hatred?"

The woman in black sneered: "Guilt? Do you think a word of guilt can make up for the loss of my family? Today, I will make you pay the price."

As she spoke, the woman in black swung her sword and stabbed at Gu Zhiyi. Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minyun reacted quickly, fighting side by side and engaging in a fierce battle with the woman in black.

In the banquet hall, swords flashed and wine and food were scattered everywhere. Everyone was panicked and hid in the corners. However, Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minyun were like gods of war, marching forward bravely.

After a fierce battle, the woman in black was finally defeated. She stared at Gu Zhiyi with wide eyes, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes: "I failed, but I will not let you go. One day, I will make you regret it."

Gu Zhiyi looked at her coldly: "You can try it. As long as I am still here, the Xie family will protect me. And you will never be able to defeat us."

The woman in black snorted and turned away. Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minyun breathed a sigh of relief. They smiled at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes.

In the banquet hall, everyone gathered around them, asking them if they were injured. Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minyun smiled and shook their heads, then continued to host the dinner.

……

"I'm not drunk, not drunk..." Jiang Minyun waved her hands desperately, with a determined light in her eyes. However, her cheeks were flushed unnaturally, and there were still wine stains on the corners of her mouth.

Gu Zhiyi smiled and shook her head, with tolerance and love in her eyes. She slowly walked to Jiang Minyun and patted her shoulder gently: "Minyun, if you are really drunk, take a good rest. If you are not drunk yet, come and have a good chat with your sister."

Jiang Minjun stared at Gu Zhiyi with eyes wide open, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Sister, I'm really not drunk. I'm just... just a little happy and excited."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and pulled Jiang Minyun to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion.

At this time, night fell, and the garden of Xie Mansion was brightly lit and filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The two of them sat in the pavilion, bathing in the moonlight, like a beautiful painting.

"Minjun, do you know why today's banquet is so lively?" Gu Zhiyi asked softly, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes.

Jiang Minjun thought for a moment and shook her head: "I only know that today is the Xie Mansion's celebration, but I don't know exactly why it is so lively."

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the pavilion, and their junior sister Xiao Xiying walked in. She looked at Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minjun, smiled and said, "Senior sister, Minjun, you are here. I was just looking for you."

Gu Zhiyi turned her head and looked at Xiao Xiying, with a hint of kindness in her eyes: "Xiying, you're here. It's so late, haven't you rested yet?"

Xiao Xiying shook her head slightly, worry in her eyes: "Sister, I heard that someone was dissatisfied at the banquet today..."

As soon as Xiao Xiying finished speaking, Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minjun looked at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. Gu Zhiyi sighed softly and said slowly: "There are indeed some unpleasant things, but we are already dealing with them."

Jiang Minjun gently patted Xiao Xiying's hand and said with a smile: "Xiying, don't worry. With Senior Sister here, everything will be fine."

Xiao Xiying nodded slightly, but she was still a little worried. The three of them walked into the pavilion together and sat down as host and guest. The moonlight shone on the stone table in the pavilion, reflecting the different expressions of the three people.

Gu Zhiyi picked up the teacup on the table, blew on it gently, and then handed it to Xiao Xiying: "Xiying, you are tired all day today, have a cup of tea."

Xiao Xiying took the teacup and thanked him softly: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. Actually, I came to see you tonight, not only because I am worried about the banquet, but also because I want to discuss something with you."

Gu Zhiyi and Jiang Minjun looked at each other with curiosity. Xiao Xiying bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind and said, "I would like to ask Senior Sister and Minjun to help me introduce a distinguished guest."

Gu Zhiyi smiled lightly, her eyes full of teasing: "Oh? VIP? Could it be that it is our Xiying's sweetheart?"

Xiao Xiying's face immediately turned red with shame. She gently hit Gu Zhiyi and said shyly, "Senior Sister, you are making fun of me."
