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

After all, Gu Zhiyi is the savior of their Yongxin Marquis Mansion.

Thinking of this, a trace of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the wife of Marquis Yongxin. She hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare tea and came out to greet him in person.

The garden was shaded by green trees, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Gu Zhiyi was wearing a lavender silk dress, and her steps were light, like a lotus in spring. When she saw the wife of the Marquis of Yongxin personally coming to greet her, she smiled just the right amount and said, "Sister, you are so polite, it really makes me ashamed."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin smiled and said, "Sister, you are too kind. If it weren't for your help, our Marquis of Yongxin Mansion would have ceased to exist. I am grateful to see you today."

The two sat down in the pavilion in the garden, and the maids brought tea. Gu Zhiyi took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Sister, how have you been these years?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin nodded slightly, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "Sister, you know that the crisis back then was actually a conspiracy. If it weren't for your timely rescue, my family would have been destroyed long ago."

Gu Zhiyi sighed softly: "Sister is right. When I learned about this, I was also extremely worried. Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin looked at Gu Zhiyi with respect: "Sister, you not only saved our Marquis of Yongxin Mansion, but also helped us resolve the crisis. I can't express my gratitude in words."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and shook her head: "Sister, you misunderstood. What happened back then was out of kindness. We are both women, and we should support each other."

While the two were talking, the maids brought cakes and fruits one after another. Gu Zhiyi took a piece of cake and said softly, "Sister, I heard that you have been studying medicine in recent years. Do you have any experience?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin's eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly, "Sister, you are too kind. I do know a little about medicine. Over the years, I have been taking care of the health of the Marquis and the children. If you have time, I would like to discuss this with you."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with joy: "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will agree. We women should not only take care of our husbands and children, but also learn to take care of ourselves. I really want to learn about your medical skills."

At this time, a maid ran over and said to the wife of Marquis Yongxin, "Madam, the Marquis asks you to come over."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin frowned slightly and said to Gu Zhiyi, "Sister, the Marquis seems to have something urgent to do. I have to leave first."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, sister. I'll wait for you here."

The wife of Marquis Yongxin left in a hurry. Gu Zhiyi sat alone in the pavilion, gazing at the spring scenery in the garden, and secretly sighed in her heart: The Marquis Yongxin Mansion is indeed a place full of vitality.

Soon, the wife of the Marquis of Yongxin came back with an anxious look on her face. She sat next to Gu Zhiyi and whispered, "Sister, the Marquis's health seems to be getting worse."

A trace of worry flashed in Gu Zhiyi's eyes. She gently patted the hand of the wife of Yongxin Marquis and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister. I will do my best to help you find a solution."

……

Marquis Yongxin covered his face, feeling a little ashamed: "Sorry, I was rude." Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, and that smile showed both tolerance and indifference. She waved her hand gently, indicating that Marquis Yongxin didn't need to take it to heart.

"Marquis Yongxin, you are too polite. This is just a misunderstanding. But since you are here today, why not stay and have some tea and snacks? I want to have a good chat with you." Gu Zhiyi's voice was gentle, like a spring breeze.

Yongxin Hou nodded and followed Gu Zhiyi into the inner room. There were several pots of orchids in the room, and the fragrance was lingering, making people feel relaxed and happy. Gu Zhiyi personally poured a cup of tea for Yongxin Hou, handed it to him, and then slowly sat down.

"Marquis Yongxin, do you know why I am holding a banquet at Xie Mansion?" Gu Zhiyi brushed her sleeves lightly, a deep look in her eyes.

Yong Xin Hou thought for a moment and replied, "Could it be to celebrate the first birthday of the young master of the Xie Mansion?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Yes, but this is not the only reason. I actually want to take this opportunity to show the world the harmony and tranquility of the Xie Mansion. Although the Xie Mansion is not as prominent as the Yongxin Marquis Mansion, we have always adhered to the principle that a harmonious family brings prosperity."

Marquis Yongxin nodded and said with emotion: "Madam is really wise and righteous. It is admirable."

Gu Zhiyi observed the expression of the Marquis of Yongxin from time to time. She found that although the Marquis of Yongxin appeared to be amiable on the surface, there was a hint of worry hidden in his eyes. She was moved and asked, "The Marquis of Yongxin seems to be worried. Can you tell me what's on your mind?"

Yongxin Hou was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Madam, to be honest, I have indeed encountered some troubles recently. I have a distant relative who tried to usurp my family's property, which gave me a headache."

Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the officialdom. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Lord Xin, this matter is indeed tricky. But I think you should be patient and not act rashly for the time being."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yongxin Hou's eyes. He didn't expect Gu Zhiyi to give such a suggestion. He asked, "Madam, do you want me to observe for a while?"

Gu Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, observe their movements and find out their weaknesses. At the same time, you can also secretly collect evidence and defeat them in one fell swoop."

A trace of approval flashed in the eyes of Marquis Yongxin, and he said with emotion: "Madam, you are really smart. I didn't even think of this method."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "You are too kind, Lord Yongxin. This is just my humble opinion. However, you need to be careful about this matter to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Yongxin Hou's mood gradually improved. He stood up and said to Gu Zhiyi: "Madam, I have benefited a lot from chatting with you today. I will follow your advice when I return, and I believe that the problem can be solved soon."

Back in the room, Gu Zhiyi sat in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside, but couldn't help thinking of her husband. He was now fighting outside, when would he come back? She sighed softly, with endless longing in her eyes.

At this moment, a maid came in with a letter in her hand. Gu Zhiyi took the letter and opened it. It turned out to be a letter from Ningguogong to her. She couldn't wait to read it, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

In the letter, Duke Ning told her that the war had been won and he would be back home soon. Gu Zhiyi was so happy that she couldn't help but shed tears.

This family will be reunited soon.

……

The next day, the wife of Marquis Yongxin divorced Marquis Yongxin.

The atmosphere in the mansion of Marquis Yongxin was solemn. The servants and maids were whispering, not daring to discuss this sudden incident.

Marquis Yongxin and his wife sat face to face in front of a desk in the main hall, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Yongxin Hou's face was gloomy and his tone was cold and hard: "Madam, have you really decided to divorce? This concerns the reputation and status of the entire Yongxin Hou Mansion."
