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

Gu Zhiyi sighed softly: "Mammy, you are right. I also feel that something is wrong, but I haven't figured out what it is."

Nanny Yang pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Madam, I think we should strengthen the defenses in the mansion. After all, the situation in the mansion is so complicated now. If there is any accident, how should we deal with it?"

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mammy is right, I will ask the servants to strengthen their defenses. At the same time, you should also pay more attention to the movements in the mansion, and tell me in time if there is any abnormal situation."

Nanny Yang nodded slightly, unable to help but feel worried.

Gu Zhiyi gently blew away the steam rising from the teacup, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes. Nanny Yang stood quietly by her side, her eyes full of concern.

"Madam, you seem to be worried about something?" Nanny Yang asked softly, her tone revealing concern and caution.

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, hiding her worries: "Mammy, you are always so considerate. Indeed, I am worried about some things."

Nanny Yang sighed softly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Madam, if you have any worries, just tell me, maybe I can help you share some of them."

Gu Zhiyi put down the teacup, her eyes became deep: "Do you still remember what I told you not long ago? About the future of Ningguo Mansion..."

Madam Yang nodded, her eyes showing understanding: "Madam, are you referring to the eldest young master's marriage?"

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly: "Yes. The young master has been smart and talented since he was young. I naturally hope that he can find a suitable partner to spend his life with."

Nanny Yang frowned slightly, seeming a little worried: "But, Madam, the eldest young master doesn't seem to have his heart set on the eldest young lady."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes narrowed, and the tea leaves in the teacup seemed to sway in her eyes: "Mammy, what you said makes sense. I have also privately observed the relationship between the young master and the young lady, and there is indeed a lack of tacit understanding between them."

Nanny Yang sighed softly, with worry in her eyes: "Madam, what should we do? The eldest young master's marriage is a major event for the Ningguo Mansion. If it is not handled properly, it may cause family disputes."

Gu Zhiyi was silent for a while, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Mammy, I have an idea, but I need your help."

Madam Yang nodded immediately, her eyes full of determination: "Madam, just give me your orders."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "I want to arrange a banquet, invite some young men from aristocratic families, and let the young master choose his favorite person at the banquet."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Ma's eyes, and then she nodded: "Madam, this is indeed a good idea. But will the young master accept it?"

Gu Zhiyi patted Nanny Yang's hand gently, her eyes full of trust: "I believe in the young master, he is a sensible child. As long as we give him enough freedom, he will definitely find his ideal partner."

On the day of the banquet, the Ningguo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and was bustling with activity. Officials of all ranks and children of noble families came to the banquet. Gu Zhiyi and Nanny Yang stood at the door to welcome the guests.

The eldest master Xie Yunchen looked exceptionally handsome in his gorgeous brocade robe.

Halfway through the banquet, a young woman slowly walked into the hall. She was wearing a light blue dress, with a beautiful face and elegant temperament. Her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xie Yunchen's eyes were also attracted by this woman, and he could not help but be stunned. Seeing this, Gu Zhiyi's heart moved, and she secretly winked at Yang Ma.

Nanny Yang understood, walked gently to the woman, and whispered, "Young lady, my wife wants to see you."

The woman smiled slightly, nodded gently, and followed Nanny Yang to come in front of Gu Zhiyi.

Gu Zhiyi looked at the woman, secretly praising her beauty and temperament in her heart. She smiled and said, "Hello, young lady. I am the wife of Duke Ning. I have specially arranged a game for you at the banquet today. I wonder if you are willing to participate?"

The woman smiled slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Madam, I am willing to try."

Gu Zhiyi turned to Madam Yang and said, "Madam, go and prepare the game."

Nanny Yang took the order and left, and soon returned with a group of maids. They held some small gifts in their hands, ready to distribute to the guests participating in the game.

The game started, and the guests joined in, creating an extremely lively atmosphere. Xie Yunchen's eyes were always fixed on the woman, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must win her heart.

At the end of the game, only Xie Yunchen and the woman were left. Gu Zhiyi looked at her son's expression and couldn't help but feel relieved.

The woman smiled slightly and took the gift, with gratitude in her eyes. Xie Yunchen took the opportunity to talk to her, and the two soon fell into a pleasant conversation.

Gu Zhiyi looked at her son and the woman, feeling relieved. She turned to Madam Yang and said, "Madam, look, the young master has finally found his ideal partner."

Madam Yang smiled slightly, her eyes full of joy: "Madam, congratulations, the eldest young master's marriage is expected."

Gu Zhiyi walked out slowly, yawned lazily, and said, "Madam Yang, is the medicine ready for today?"

Nanny Yang was sitting at a small table in the corridor, holding a medicine bowl in her hand. When she heard Gu Zhiyi's voice, she stood up quickly, with a respectful smile on her face, and said, "Madam, the medicine has been boiled. You just got up, so you should drink a glass of warm water first."

Gu Zhiyi nodded, walked to the table and sat down, took the warm water handed to her by Madam Yang, blew it gently, and then slowly drank a sip. She put down the cup and looked at Madam Yang, with a trace of fatigue in her eyes, but still gentle: "Madam Yang, you have worked hard too, sit down and rest for a while."

Madam Yang said hurriedly, "Madam, you are the one who has worked the hardest. How dare I sit down? As long as you can get better, it will be worth it even if I am more tired."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "I know you are loyal, but people always have to learn to take care of themselves. How can I feel at ease if you collapse from exhaustion?"

A touch of emotion flashed in Madam Yang's eyes, and she said hurriedly: "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. But Madam, you..."

Gu Zhiyi sighed and said, "I know my body well. I'm grateful for your careful care during this period. But there are things in my heart that I can't let go."

Nanny Yang asked cautiously, "Madam, is it because of the eldest lady's matter?"

Gu Zhiyi nodded, her eyes dim: "Yes, she seldom comes back since she got married. I know she is not happy, but what can I do?"

Nanny Yang comforted her, "Madam, don't worry too much. The eldest daughter is a blessed child. She will definitely get through this difficult time. Besides, the second daughter and the young master are both doing well. You should pay more attention to them."
