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

Gu Zhiyi stood up slowly, her eyes calm and firm. She bowed to her father and then slowly said, "Father, Zhiping is young and ignorant, so I have certainly tried to persuade her. But her character is like that, and it is difficult for me to change her in a short time. Moreover, I think her behavior this time may not be completely unreasonable."

Gu Zhongyu frowned and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Do you think she did the right thing?"

Gu Zhiyi shook her head gently: "My daughter doesn't dare. But my daughter feels that things may not be as simple as they seem on the surface. Ping...she also has her own difficulties."

After hearing this, Gu Zhongyu became even angrier, while Gu Zhiping's eyes flashed with gratitude.

Gu Zhongyu slammed the table and stood up: "Nonsense! What is her reason? She is obviously spoiled and lawless!"

Gu Zhiyi remained calm. She said slowly, "Father, please listen to my daughter. Zhiping lost her mother when she was young. The longing and desire she has for her mother is difficult for ordinary people like us to understand. She may just want to find a kind of dependence, and this method, although a little extreme, is the only way she can think of."

Gu Zhongyu's expression gradually eased. He was silent for a moment and finally sat back in his chair. He looked at Gu Zhiyi, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Gu Zhiping couldn't help crying at this time. She walked to Gu Zhiyi and held her hand tightly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I just... I just miss mom too much."

Gu Zhiyi gently patted Gu Zhiping's shoulder and comforted her: "Silly sister, I know your difficulties. But you must remember that we can't hurt others because of our own selfish desires. In the future, we must learn to be more mature and rational."

Gu Zhongyu looked at the two sisters in front of him and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He sighed deeply: "Zhiyi, you have grown up. You know how to understand and tolerate. This is your strength and also your weakness. But no matter what, I am proud of you."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Father, thank you for your teachings. Your daughter will remember it in her heart."

……

Gu Zhiping frowned slightly, with a look of doubt and fear in her eyes. She looked at her sister Gu Zhiyi, as if she was looking for some kind of answer in her. Gu Zhiyi had a calm face and a faint smile in her eyes, as if she had already seen through her sister's thoughts.

Gu Zhiping finally spoke: "Sister, are you really good at fortune-telling? Then can you tell me what I'm thinking?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Sister, how can I easily pry into the secrets in your heart? However, I can tell you that what you think in your heart is not as simple as what you see."

Gu Zhiping frowned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Sister, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Zhiyi gently patted her sister's shoulder and said, "Sit down, let's talk slowly."

The two found a stone bench in the garden of the Gu Mansion and sat down. Gu Zhiyi looked at her sister and said, "Sister, do you still remember our childhood?"

Gu Zhiping nodded and recalled: "Of course I remember. We were always inseparable at that time."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "We were simple and happy back then, but as time went by, we grew up and the things we faced became more and more complicated."

Gu Zhiping sighed and said, "Yes, what I think in my heart now is no longer the joke I had when I was a child."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she said, "Sister, what you are thinking about is the future of the Gu family?"

Gu Zhiping was stunned, staring at her sister with wide eyes: "Sister, you...how did you know?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled softly and said, "Although I can't predict the future, I can guess a little. Sister, you are worried about the future of the Gu family because you are worried that we will get into trouble, right?"

Gu Zhiping nodded, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Sister, I know you are smart, but can the future of the Gu family really be what you want?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Sister, have you forgotten that the Gu Mansion has me and you as well? We sisters are united and our strength is unstoppable. Why should we worry about the future of the Gu Mansion not being glorious?"

Gu Zhiping's eyes flashed with confidence. She held her sister's hand tightly and said, "Sister, you are right. Together, we sisters will surely restore the glory of the Gu Mansion."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and patted her sister's hand, saying, "Don't worry, sister. From now on, we will work together to make the future of the Gu family better."

Gu Zhiping looked at the account book in her hand and couldn't help but admire: "Sister, you are really amazing. Since you took over the Gu Mansion, our industry has not only not suffered losses, but has made huge profits."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and shook her head: "Sister, this is not just my achievement, you have also contributed a lot. It is our joint efforts that have made the Gu family what it is today."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Gu Zhiping's eyes. She gently held her sister's hand and said, "Thank you, sister. With you, I am no longer afraid of the future."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Sister, we are a family, and we should support each other. However, there is one thing I want to remind you, that is, in the future of the Gu family, you must learn to think independently and have your own opinions."

Before Gu Zhiyi could speak, the emperor's eyes had already turned to Gu Zhiping, with a barely perceptible tenderness in them. He waved his hand gently, asking the surrounding maids and eunuchs to withdraw, leaving only the three of them.

"Zhiping, what do you want to report?" The emperor's voice was calm and deep, but Gu Zhiyi heard a hint of expectation.

Gu Zhiping bit her lower lip nervously, then mustered up her courage and looked directly into the emperor's eyes: "Your Majesty, the Gu family recently discovered a secret underground palace containing relics left by our ancestors. I think it has great significance for the Western Wei Dynasty."

The emperor's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately understood what Gu Zhiping meant. He pondered for a moment, then turned to Gu Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, what do you think?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly. She had expected the emperor to ask her this question. She said softly, "Sister, what you said is true. That underground palace does have great significance. Moreover, I think that sister is qualified and capable to explore that underground palace."

The emperor looked at Gu Zhiyi with admiration in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let Zhiping handle this matter. Zhiyi, are you willing to accompany her?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly. She had already made preparations: "I am willing."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. He turned to Gu Zhiping, his eyes full of expectation: "Zhiping, you must be careful and don't act rashly."

Gu Zhiping replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will be careful."

Seeing Gu Zhiping's serious look, the emperor smiled. He turned to Gu Zhiyi and whispered, "Zhiyi, your sister is really great."

Gu Zhiyi and Gu Zhiping were busy preparing to go to the secret underground palace. They needed to prepare a large amount of supplies and tools, and also be fully prepared to deal with possible situations.
