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

In this reincarnation, with the help of the mysterious power of rebirth, she deliberately put on the same clothes that Gu Zhiyi wore on the day of the rescue, carefully combed her hair into a bun that was exactly the same as Gu Zhiyi's, and then used clever makeup techniques to adjust her appearance to be seven points similar to Gu Zhiyi. Then she hurried to save the person, who was the person Gu Zhiyi had saved in her previous life.

Afterwards, Shen Dingli became suspicious. Why did she look different from that day?

Feeling uneasy, Gu Zhiping had to rely on makeup from then on to make her profile as close to Gu Zhiyi's outline as possible in order to confuse people and cover up the truth.

However, disguise cannot hide the true nature.

Now, whenever Shen Dingli sees Gu Zhiyi, doubts follow him like a shadow.

In addition, when she returned home last night, she was severely reprimanded by Mrs. Shen and was punished to kneel in the courtyard to correct the family tradition. Until now, her knees still hurt slightly.

The accumulation of all these hardships brought her resentment towards Gu Zhiyi to its peak.

Gu Zhiyi keenly sensed the resentment that was about to burst out from Gu Zhiping. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at her lightly, and caught sight of the dark circles under her eyes and the tired look on her face that even thick makeup could not completely cover up.

She smiled slightly and nodded, as if greeting Gu Zhiping. However, only Gu Zhiping herself knew that the smile was full of sarcasm, a mockery of her and a gloating over her misfortune.

Gu Zhiyi was indeed gloating over someone else's misfortune.

She took away other people's lives, but found that this road was not easy.

Wen was a woman with an extremely strong desire for power and excessive need for control. She longed to hold everyone in the mansion tightly in her hands, whether they were the honorable Duke of Zhao, her children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, or insignificant servants.

Before Gu Zhiyi entered into this marriage, Wen had successfully controlled almost everyone except Duke Zhao.

However, when Gu Zhiyi became Wen's daughter-in-law, Wen tried to impose family rules on her more than once. But Wen was neither her biological parent nor had she ever raised her. To Gu Zhiyi, Wen was just a stranger, and she naturally would not obey her rules.

Therefore, whenever Gu Zhiyi was punished, Wen would fall down because of her own misstep.

When she was punished to stand in the rain, Wen would accidentally knock over the hot teapot and get herself drenched in scalding heat.

Every time Mrs. Wen scolded her, she would be severely scolded by Mrs. Shen.

In short, as long as Gu Zhiyi suffered a loss at the hands of the Wen family, the Wen family would encounter even greater misfortune within a day.

And that's not the end.

Whenever Gu Zhiyi encountered trouble at the hands of the Wen family, she would return home and inflict on Shen Dingli exactly what the Wen family had done to her.

At first, Shen Dingli did not object to his loving mother's practice of making house rules for his daughter-in-law, and was even secretly delighted. In his opinion, if the new daughter-in-law was naughty and unruly, he would be relieved and worry-free if his mother, who had been through it, could discipline her.

However, as time went by, whenever the Wen family wanted to cause trouble for Gu Zhiyi, Shen Dingli would always stand up and stop them without hesitation. As time went by, the Wen family gradually restrained themselves and no longer dared to punish Gu Zhiyi arbitrarily.

Gu Zhiping unknowingly stepped into the unfathomable quagmire of the Duke's Mansion. It was truly a case of reaping what she sowed.

"Look at that woman!" Gu Wulang noticed the subtle interaction between Gu Zhiyi and Gu Zhiping, and his face darkened: "Sister Zhiping was so angry that her eyes turned red. That woman is really abominable!"

Except for Gu Yunjiang, the other three showed inconsistent expressions, but there was the same dissatisfaction in their eyes - dissatisfaction with Gu Zhiyi for making things difficult for their beloved sister.

Mrs. Gu was anxious, but she was at the banquet and could not go forward to comfort her precious daughter in person. She could only look at Gu Zhiyi with resentment, hoping that her adopted daughter would stop "bullying" Gu Zhiping after noticing her gaze.

Minister Gu said nothing, but his face was as gloomy as water.

However, Gu Zhiyi seemed not to notice the existence of the Gu family. After retracting her gaze, she sat down in the seat belonging to Duke Ningguo together with Duke Ningguo and others.

At such banquets, family members usually sit behind their husbands or fathers. Since Gu Zhiyi and Xie Xun have not yet officially assumed office, they attended the banquet today as family members and did not have separate seats.

Soon after everyone sat down, members of the royal family, concubines, and the emperor also arrived one after another.

The emperor was in his prime, about thirty years old, with a gentle appearance and exuding nobility, but he did not have the murderous aura of ordinary emperors. Judging from his appearance alone, it was difficult to associate him with a resolute and decisive monarch.

The queen was a dignified and decent woman. Although her appearance was not extremely beautiful, she had the temperament of a mother of the country.

The emperor sat down at the dragon table and began to speak. Although today was his birthday banquet, birthdays come every year, but talents are rare, so he first praised the top three freshly selected candidates and announced their appointment arrangements.

Before that, of course, there is a vision of the prosperity of the Great Sheng Empire.

When the emperor talked about something exciting, he raised his glass and invited everyone present to celebrate together.

Everyone raised their glasses, and no matter whether they could drink or were good at drinking, they all drank with the emperor.

As soon as Gu Zhiyi raised her glass, she felt two secretive and intense gazes cast at her.

Her movements froze in an instant, but the emperor had already raised his head gracefully and drank the wine in the glass. At the same time, the people around him also drank the liquid in the glass without hesitation the moment the emperor put down the glass. This scene made her posture of holding the glass look particularly abrupt.

Before this abruptness turned into embarrassment, she drank the wine in the glass as quickly as lightning.

It seemed as if she didn't notice the abnormality hidden in the cup.

Between the seats and deep in the crowd, two pairs of lips simultaneously curved upward in satisfaction.

Gu Zhiping stared at Gu Zhiyi with eyes wide open.

This woman is really good at stealing the spotlight!

One cup after another, why not drink it all!

How great it would be if that glass of wine was really poisoned.

Unfortunately, she could only bury this fantasy deep in her heart.

Her status was not enough to allow her to do anything at such a grand palace banquet.

At this moment, her eyes caught a figure.

The figure was also staring at Gu Zhiyi closely, with a cruel smile on his face. Gu Zhiping was slightly startled, then smiled in anticipation of a good show.

She loves watching dogs bite each other!

Gu Zhiyi seemed to be unaware of everything around her. After drinking the wine in the glass, she put it down nonchalantly.

At this time, the chief eunuch beside the emperor announced loudly: "Please invite the new champion, second champion, third champion, and Mrs. Xie Gu Zhiyi to come forward to receive the title!"

This series of announcements instantly shocked everyone present.
