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

Advice always makes people unhappy. Xie Xun frowned, obviously unhappy.

But he remembered that he had said something similar just now, so he didn't get angry after all: "Don't worry, Yunxuan is very smart and creative, she will definitely make the bookstore profitable."

Gu Zhiyi did not refute, but smiled calmly: "In that case, I wish you good fortune in advance. You will surely reap a lot of rewards by then, and your bonus will surely be considerable. Remember, don't forget to buy a few exquisite gifts for your mother."

Xie Xun always felt that there was a different meaning hidden in these words.

However, Gu Zhiyi's smile was so frank and sincere that he could not get angry. He could only groan and turn back to his room.

Chao Yunxuan endured the severe pain in her body and came forward: "What's the situation?"

Upon seeing his beloved, Xie Xun's mood improved slightly: "Mother has agreed. I will ask the butler to take you to get the official seal later. You can make all the decisions yourself."

Chao Yunxuan was overjoyed and, ignoring the looks of others, she gave him a deep kiss on the lips.

Although the servants had long been accustomed to the unique way in which the young master and Miss Chao interacted with each other, they still felt that this was too intimate.

The housekeeper also quietly looked away, ashamed to witness it.

Chao Yunxuan, however, didn't care at all about other people's eyes.

Her lips were hot, but her eyes were cold as ice.

How dare that greedy woman say that she only relies on men?

She wants to show that woman what she is capable of!

Xie Xun felt his lover's joy and threw Gu Yi's advice to the back of his mind, nor did he remind Chao Yunxuan.

Even if I remind you, I'm afraid it will be of no use.

……

In Jinghong Garden.

"Miss, let's also formulate a profit strategy. We must defeat her completely!"

Ever since learning that Chao Yunxuan took over Nanfeng Bookstore, Luoluo has been in a state of extreme excitement.

She may not care whether the young lady is favored or not, after all, the young lady herself does not care about these things, but she will never tolerate that woman surpassing the young lady in other aspects.

Especially money!

Gu Zhiyi was a little confused and didn't understand her excitement: "Isn't it good to maintain the status quo? Why do you want to compete with her?"

than what?

Who is better at losing money?

Although she didn't think she would lose, after repeated persuasion from Luluo, she decided to go to the store in Beijing to inspect it.

Of course, her move was not entirely to appease Luoluo, but more to give Gu Zhiping a chance.

And Gu Zhiping also successfully seized this opportunity.

Recently, Chao Yunxuan has been bedridden. Although she can barely get out of bed and walk around, she will be out of breath after more than a quarter of an hour and has to go back to bed to rest.

Gu Zhiyi went out to inspect the store again.

If we don’t take action now, when will we wait?

Knowing that the young master would not go out today, Gu Zhiping asked for leave from Nanny Wen and dressed up carefully.

She looked at herself in the mirror and saw that this sixteen-year-old girl had a rosy face and spring-like eyes.

She turned around in front of the mirror and saw that the girl had a slender waist, like a willow swaying in the wind.

How could this look be compared to that conceited peasant girl and that empty-headed fake?

If the young master saw her like this, he would be completely fascinated by her.

She had already found out about the young master's itinerary for the day, and specially set up a desk in the pavilion where he would pass by. She held a book in her hand, but her eyes kept glancing towards the end of the path.

Why don't you come?

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

he came!

She quickly lowered her head, held up the "Three Character Classic" and began to read aloud.

"In the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

close!

Closer!

Gu Zhiping's voice became louder and louder, and her tone became more charming.

Then there is no more then.

Xie Xun walked past the pavilion without looking around, and didn't even notice that there was someone in the pavilion.

Gu Zhiping watched the heroic man gradually disappear from her sight. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide, full of disbelief.

In a moment of hesitation, she suddenly stood up.

How could she give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Son..."

At this moment, Xie Xun was contemplating the upcoming imperial examination.

Although he has been well-read since childhood and is quite confident in his knowledge, in this imperial examination he will face top students from all over the Western Wei Dynasty.

There are many talented people among them, and even though they are far away in Shengjing, they have already become famous.

They are all strong opponents that he must take seriously and he cannot afford to slack off in the slightest.

Suddenly, a female voice abruptly broke the silence.

The sound was like a duck being ruthlessly strangled by the neck, and the quacking sound was unbearable to the ears.

Xie Xun couldn't help but frown and turned his head to look, only to see a maid walking towards him with a swaying waist.

The twisting of her waist was like a broken branch that seemed like it would break at any time. As she swayed, she accidentally tripped over her right foot and fell to the ground without a sound.

Xie Xun was used to seeing all kinds of falling postures, but this was the first time he had seen such a unique way of falling.

He put his hands behind his back, tilted his head back slightly, and frowned into a knot.

Gu Zhiping suppressed the shame and anger in her heart, got up from the ground, and continued to walk towards Xie Xun with her waist swaying.

This time, the amplitude of her twisting was significantly reduced, for fear of making a fool of herself again.

"Sir..." She pinched her throat again, and her voice sounded strange and harsh.

Xie Xun couldn't help but yelled, "Stop!"

Gu Zhiping almost sprained her waist due to inertia.

She looked at Xie Xun with a look of grievance.

Xie Xun was completely confused and turned to ask the housekeeper: "When did the maids in the mansion become so unruly?"

The housekeeper took one look at Gu Zhiping and recognized her son. This was the maidservant beside the lady, who was recently sent to Nanny Wen to learn the ways of housekeeping. "

Xie Xun's face darkened: "Madam has high hopes for you, and this is how you repay her?"

He said sternly, "Housekeeper, go ask Nanny Wen how she taught people. How come she only learned this frivolous attitude of not knowing the difference between respect and inferiority!"

After that, he walked away.

The butler cast a gloating look at Gu Zhiping and left in response: "Yes!"

Gu Zhiping opened her eyes wide in shock.

This was not the scene she had imagined!

"Young Master!" She stopped twisting her waist and quickly chased in the direction Xie Xun left.

However, she ultimately failed to catch up with Xie Xun, and instead met Nanny Wen who had hurried over.

Nanny Wen was so angry that her face turned blue: "You told me that you had something to do today and needed to take a leave, but I didn't expect that your so-called 'something' was to come and seduce the young master?!"

"You vixen, is this how the Yu family taught you the rules?!"

"It seems that before I teach you how to be a housekeeper, I must first teach you how to be a qualified servant!"

"I'll give you one day to memorize the rules of the mansion. If you can't, I don't mind suggesting to Madam that you replace her with a more obedient servant!"

After returning from inspecting two shops in Shengjing, Gu Zhiyi heard about the scandal of Gu Zhiping trying to seduce Xie Xun but being punished by Nanny Wen.

Green Rose was indignant: "This damn girl, why didn't she take a look at herself in the mirror? How dare she dream of getting close to a rich man?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled softly: "Everyone has their own aspirations. You should always have dreams, just in case they come true."

Just like her, when she was helping her ex-husband build his empire in her previous life, she never thought that the stable life and wealth she had dreamed of would one day become her reality.
