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

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin looked determined and spoke calmly, "My Lord, I made this decision after careful consideration. The problems between us are irreparable, and divorce is the best choice for both of us."

A trace of doubt flashed in Yongxin Hou's eyes, and his tone slowed down: "Is the problem between us really unsolvable? Can you give me another chance and let us start over?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin shook her head gently, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes: "My Lord, the rift between us is too deep and can no longer be repaired. Divorce is the best relief for us."

At this time, the steward of the Yongxin Marquis's Mansion walked in with a letter in his hand.

The housekeeper said respectfully: "My Lord, Madam, this is a letter sent by the old lady. Please take a look."

Yongxin Hou took the letter, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly became even gloomier. It turned out that this letter was written by the old lady to Yongxin Hou, severely blaming Yongxin Hou for his indifference and ruthlessness towards his wife, and asking him to save the marriage immediately.

Marquis Yongxin angrily threw the letter on the table and said sternly: "The old lady is getting more and more confused as she gets older. Who does she think she is? What qualifications does she have to interfere in the affairs between us?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin smiled calmly and said calmly, "My Lord, please calm down. The old lady is also concerned about me, and her original intention is good. However, our marriage has come to an end. It will not benefit anyone if we continue to force it."

Yongxin Hou was silent for a while, with a trace of struggle in his eyes. He knew that he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise it would only damage the reputation of Yongxin Hou Mansion and even affect the future of the family.

Marquis Yongxin said in a heavy tone: "If that's the case, then we can divorce as you wish. However, I hope you can promise me one thing."

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the wife of the Marquis of Yongxin, and she said calmly, "Please speak, my Lord."

Yongxin Hou said in a serious tone: "I hope that after you leave Yongxin Hou Mansion, you will no longer be concerned about worldly affairs and live a peaceful life. As for everything in Yongxin Hou Mansion, arrange for the servants to handle it."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin nodded gently, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. I will keep your instructions in mind. From now on, we will go our separate ways. I wish you happiness."

Marquis Yongxin and his wife finally reached an agreement and signed a divorce agreement.

The servants and maids of the Yongxin Marquis' Mansion looked at this scene, feeling both emotional and helpless.

……

That night.

Inside the Yongxin Marquis's mansion, the blazing fire lit up the dark night sky, and the smoke billowed, as if a raging dragon was circling in the mansion. Yongxin Marquis clenched his fists and looked anxiously in the direction of the fire. His heart was filled with worry. The wife of Yongxin Marquis had just left, would the fire affect her?

Yongxin Hou quickly summoned the servants in the mansion and ordered them to put out the fire with all their strength. At the same time, he sent several servants to look for the wife of Yongxin Hou. He stood at the fire scene, nervously waiting for the servants' report.

Soon, a servant came back breathlessly and reported: "My Lord, the Madam has been evacuated safely and is now staying at a manor outside the city."

Yongxin Hou breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried. He turned back to the study, which seemed particularly deserted at the moment, as if even the air had frozen.

Yongxinhou sat at the desk, his hands supporting his forehead, lost in thought. At this moment, Yongxinhou's wife pushed the door open and walked in. Her face was covered in dust, her clothes were disheveled, but her eyes were still firm.

"Madam, are you okay?" Marquis Yongxin asked with concern.

Madam Yongxin shook her head gently and said, "I'm fine. I'm just a little worried about you."

Marquis Yongxin stood up and held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude: "This fire came too suddenly, I was worried that you would be hurt. I am relieved that you are safe and sound."

The wife of Marquis Yongxin gently leaned into the arms of Marquis Yongxin and said softly, "My Lord, does this fire mean that the fate of our Marquis Yongxin Mansion has come to an end?"

Yongxin Hou frowned and was silent for a moment, then said: "Madam, I believe this fire was just an accident. Our Yongxin Hou Mansion has been built for hundreds of years, and it will not be destroyed by a fire. I will find out the truth and give us an explanation."

The wife of Marquis Yongxin looked up at Marquis Yongxin, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "My Lord, could this fire be related to our political enemies?"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Yongxin Hou, and he said in a cold voice: "Madam, I will investigate this matter personally. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will make him pay the price!"

The two were silent for a moment, and the wife of the Marquis of Yongxin suddenly said, "My Lord, should we temporarily leave the Marquis of Yongxin's mansion to avoid any more trouble?"

Yongxin Hou pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. We will leave for now and make plans after we find out the truth. I will arrange for the servants to protect Yongxin Hou's mansion to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack."

So, the Yongxin Marquis and his wife left the Yongxin Marquis Mansion with their servants and came to the manor outside the city. Although the place was simple, it was safe and worry-free.

The couple of Yongxin Hou slowly stepped down from the carriage in Zhuangzi's courtyard. The lady gently brushed the dust off her clothes and looked around with a worried look on her face. Although Zhuangzi's garden was simple, it was quiet and pleasant with lush flowers and trees, and it had some pastoral poetry.

Marquis Yongxin looked at his wife, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Madam, although this place is not as luxurious as the Marquis' Mansion, it is quiet and comfortable, which is also a good thing for us."

Madam nodded slightly, but her brows could not hide her worry. She replied softly: "My Lord, I understand what you mean. However, this incident has forced us to act with caution. We will stay here temporarily, but we must find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

Marquis Yongxin nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Madam, don't worry, I have sent people back to inquire about the news. As long as there is a clue, I will know it immediately."

As they talked, they walked into the main hall of the manor. The servants of the Yongxin Marquis's mansion had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw the Marquis and his wife, they all bowed and greeted them. The wife smiled and said to them, "You have worked hard. Please stay here for the time being. I will arrange for the servants to prepare food and drink so that everyone can rest assured."

The servants all responded in unison, with expressions of gratitude on their faces. Marquis Yongxin looked at his wife and secretly admired her in his heart. Although his wife was in a difficult situation, she was able to remain so calm and composed. It was really admirable.

As night fell, the lights in the manor were bright. Marquis Yongxin and his wife sat in the main hall, facing each other in silence. His wife occasionally looked up at Marquis Yongxin, with concern in her eyes. Marquis Yongxin also felt his wife's gaze, he smiled slightly and gently held his wife's hand.

“Madam, I know you are worried, but I promise you that no matter what happens, I will protect you.” Marquis Yongxin said in a firm tone, with a determined light in his eyes.

A touch of emotion flashed in the lady's eyes. She gently leaned into the arms of Marquis Yongxin and whispered, "My Lord, I know you have always been thinking about me. But I am worried that all this is a conspiracy against us. If we can't find out the truth, I am afraid that we will not have peace in the future."
