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

"Master Jiang, can Huiyi's issue really be properly resolved?" Yu Jinghong couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling a little.

Jiang Minjun raised her head, her eyes like water, gently brushed across Yu Jinghong's face, and said in a firm tone: "Jinghong, don't worry, since I am her master, I will naturally give her a fair judgment. But you and I know this matter, and it is indeed not appropriate to publicize it."

Yu Jinghong bit his lower lip tightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"No, we can't let this happen." Yu Jinghong frowned and said in a serious tone: "Huiyi, why don't you explain it yourself, but insist on asking Master Jiang to tell the truth? Are you afraid that you will say something wrong and make us laugh?"

Xie Huiyi's face flushed slightly, and she explained nervously: "Sister Yu, I am indeed afraid. I don't know the rules of adding color, and I am worried that I will be laughed at by everyone if I tell them. I am even more afraid that the master will think I am ashamed and don't want me anymore."

A trace of fear flashed across Xie Huiyi's eyes. She bit her lips tightly and her face turned pale. Her explanation aroused sympathy from everyone, and the originally serious atmosphere gradually eased.

Du Yusheng stroked his long beard, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Huiyi, your innocence is touching. In this world, who hasn't been ignorant? Facing it bravely is the truth of growth."

Jiang Minjun gently patted Xie Huiyi's hand and smiled, "Yes, Huiyi, you don't have to worry. How could I, your master, give up on you because of such a small matter? On the contrary, I cherish your sincerity even more."

"Huiyi, you have a pure heart, how can you say that you are ashamed? Adding color to things is just a spur of the moment thing, there is no need to worry too much. Your master Jiang Minyun is not such a heartless person."

Xie Huiyi's female teacher Jiang Minyun heard this and showed a complicated expression on her face, with both blame and relief. She walked forward, gently patted Xie Huiyi on the shoulder, and said:

"Huiyi, you are a good child. I never thought of blaming you. But, you do need to be careful when adding color. Let's let today's incident pass. I will teach you slowly in the future."

Everyone around nodded, and the atmosphere gradually became cheerful. Xie Huiyi looked at Du Yusheng gratefully, bowed to Jiang Minjun, and said:

"Master, thank you. I will remember today's lesson and will never make the same mistake again."

Du Yusheng smiled and said, "Huiyi, your innocence is touching. In this world, it is not easy to keep a pure heart. Jiang Minyun, you should cherish such a disciple."

Jiang Minjun nodded, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, Headmaster, I will definitely teach her well."

At this time, everyone in Yipinju gathered around, comforting Xie Huiyi with laughter. Xie Huiyi looked at everyone gratefully, and the fear and anxiety in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm current.

Jiang Minjun returned to Yicuixuan on the second floor, only to see Gu Zhiyi sitting by the window, holding a glass of green plum wine in her hand, looking out the window with deep eyes. Jiang Minjun walked gently to her side, also picked up a glass of wine, and whispered: "Junior sister, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, turned her head and looked at Jiang Minjun, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Senior sister, I was wondering if someone deliberately plotted against Xie Huiyi this time."

Jiang Minjun was stunned, then frowned: "I also feel something is wrong. But who could it be?"

The two looked at each other and saw the confusion and contemplation in each other's eyes. Gu Zhiyi shook her head slightly: "I don't know, but I think this may be a method used by some literati to enhance their reputation."

Jiang Minjun nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Then what should we do?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "We might as well let the manager of Yipinju investigate this matter. They are experienced in this area and should be able to find out the truth."

Jiang Minjun's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said, "Junior sister is really smart. I feel relieved."

At this time, there was a cry, the sound was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door of Yi Cui Xuan in Yipinju. The door curtain was gently lifted, and a girl with tears on her face walked in.

"Master, mother, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Xie Huiyi's voice was tearful. She walked to Jiang Minjun and Gu Zhiyi and bowed deeply.

In Yicuixuan, the mahogany furniture exuded a faint fragrance, the exquisite screen blocked the cold wind outside the window, and the warm yellow candlelight illuminated the entire room. Xie Huiyi's tears slid down her cheeks. She knelt on the floor and said in a trembling voice: "Master, mother, I was wrong. I admit my fault and almost ruined the reputation of the Duke's Mansion."

Jiang Minyun and Gu Zhiyi looked at Xie Huiyi but pretended not to notice her arrival and continued drinking and chatting.

Jiang Minjun chuckled and said, "Zhiyi, I heard that Du Yusheng, the headmaster of Bailu Academy, will come to see you soon. The poetry gathering is about to end. You must leave as soon as possible to avoid being discovered by him."

In the elegant pavilion of Yicuixuan in Yipinju, the warm breeze blew gently, the green bamboos swayed, and the tranquility could not hide the impending storm. Gu Zhiyi hurriedly left with her eldest daughter-in-law Wu Jingying. As soon as her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Jiang Minjun continued to leisurely sip the wine in the glass, her eyes deep and calm.

Xie Huiyi stood opposite her, with a hint of worry between her brows. She looked at Jiang Minjun, with a thousand thoughts in her mind, but she didn't know where to start.

Jiang Minjun took a sip of wine and looked at Xie Huiyi with a serious look in his eyes. His tone was full of seriousness and sternness: "Huiyi, you know that Gu Zhiyi's prestige in the Ningguo Mansion is extraordinary. If she really wants to harm you, I am afraid that even I will have to think carefully."

Xie Huiyi bit her lips tightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Master, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I... I really can't believe that my stepmother would do something bad to me."

In Yicuixuan, the warm yellow candlelight shone on the faces of the two people, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy. Jiang Minyun put down the wine glass, and his eyes showed concern: "Huiyi, don't you understand? In this deep house, people's hearts are unpredictable. Gu Zhiyi's methods are clever. If you don't deal with it carefully, you may fall into danger."

Xie Huiyi raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes: "Master, I understand. I will go to verify your words. If it is really as you said, I will find a way to coax my stepmother so that she will no longer have evil thoughts about me."

Jiang Minjun nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Okay, it's good that you have this determination. Remember, it's not easy to coax people. You need to understand Gu Zhiyi's preferences and cater to her preferences, so that she can change her mind about you."

Xie Huiyi looked determined and walked with firm steps to the secret door of Yicuixuan.
