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

Ye's face became more and more ugly. She stared at her daughter Jiang Minyun's back with wide eyes. The anger in her heart was like a burning flame, making her unable to calm down. She bit her lower lip, suppressed the anger in her heart, turned around and followed.

"Jiang Minjun!" Ye's voice was cold and full of unquestionable majesty.

Jiang Minyun stopped, turned around and looked at his mother with a hint of unyielding in his eyes.

"Mother, is there anything else you need?" Jiang Minyun asked calmly.

Ye pursed her lips tightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then she said in a serious tone: "What you did just now is challenging my authority. Do you know where this is? This is Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, not a place where you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Minjun smiled slightly, with a hint of irony in her eyes: "Mother, Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is indeed noble, but I am not a pawn that can be manipulated by others. I have my principles and my friends, and I will not give up my beliefs because of your authority."

Ye was so angry that she was shaking all over. She didn't expect her daughter to contradict her like this. She stared at Jiang Minyun, with disappointment and anger intertwined in her heart.

"You...you..." Ye pointed at Jiang Minjun, but couldn't say a word.

At this time, in the hall of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, everyone looked over here and whispered. Ye's face became even uglier. She was worried about being laughed at, but she still suppressed her anger and said in a low voice: "Minyun, do you know what you are saying? You are destroying your future."

Ye quickened her pace and followed closely behind her daughter Jiang Minyun, but she felt uneasy in her heart. The hairpin flower party at Dingyuan Marquis's mansion should have been a lively occasion with laughter and joy, but at this moment, she felt an unprecedented embarrassment and worry.

"Mother, you really don't have to do this." Jiang Minjun turned her head, frowned slightly, and her tone was firm.

"Mother, I advise you not to go to see the old lady." Jiang Minjun's voice was soft but full of determination.

Ye stopped walking, and the embarrassment on her face became more and more obvious. She looked around nervously, worried that someone would notice their conversation. She lowered her voice and said angrily: "Minyun, how can you say that? The old lady is an elder, how can we not respect her?"

Jiang Minyun shook her head slightly, worry in her eyes: "Mother, don't you understand? The old lady's ideas are completely different from ours. If you go to see her, you will only bring shame upon yourself."

Ye bit her lip, feeling conflicted. She knew her daughter's words made sense, but she was also worried that people would laugh at her and say that the people in Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion didn't know how to respect their elders.

"Mother, think about it. The old lady has always believed that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. How could she accept a granddaughter like me? If I go to visit her, she will only look down on us even more." Jiang Minyun persuaded patiently.

Ye was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She sighed, "I know what you said makes sense, but I still think that as people from the Marquis' Mansion, we should go and pay our respects to the old lady."

Jiang Minyun was anxious. She held Ye's arm tightly and said, "Mother, why can't you understand me? I learn knowledge to better serve the country and bring honor to the family. If I go to see the old lady, all my efforts will be wiped out."

Ye looked at her daughter's cold eyes and felt a little regretful. She remembered that in order to let her daughter learn knowledge, she had spent a lot of money to invite a teacher to teach her poetry and songs, but she didn't expect that it would become an obstacle between mother and daughter.

Ye stopped and looked at Jiang Minyun's back unwillingly, regretting that she had let her daughter learn knowledge, which led to her becoming disobedient. Her heart was filled with helplessness, but she could do nothing about it. Ye was glad that she had been prepared and believed that her daughter would change after the hairpin flower party.

"Minyun, do you know? Wearing flowers in your hair is a great opportunity for you to show your talent." Mrs. Ye tried to persuade her daughter.

Jiang Minjun curled her lips in disdain: "Mother, those so-called talents are nothing but a joke to me."

Ye explained patiently: "Minyun, you misunderstood. The hairpin flower party is not only a talent show, but also a great opportunity for you to meet ladies and expand your interpersonal relationships."

There was a hint of hesitation in Jiang Minjun's eyes, but she quickly regained her indifference: "Mother, I don't need those false relationships, I just want to be myself."

Ye sighed in her heart. She knew her daughter's character had already been determined, but she was still unwilling to give up: "Minyun, you will only make people misunderstand you. Look at those ladies from wealthy families, which one of them is not gentle and virtuous?"

Jiang Minyun sneered: "Mother, those so-called young ladies are nothing more than vixens in gorgeous clothes. I would rather be myself than be their shadow."

In the back garden, spring is in the air and flowers are in full bloom. Gu Zhiyi and her senior sister Jiang Minyun walked side by side on the winding path. Gu Zhiyi looked concerned. She looked at Jiang Minyun and found that there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Gu Zhiyi said softly: "Senior Sister, you look dazed, what happened?"

Jiang Minjun sighed and said, "Junior sister, I have actually been hesitating whether to tell you. Mother...she actually wants to marry me into the Ye family."

Gu Zhiyi looked at Jiang Minjun in surprise and said, "The Ye family? But the Ye family's character is not very good. Why did your mother make such a decision?"

Jiang Minjun's face flashed with anger, and she said, "My mother said that the Ye family is very powerful, and marrying into our family will be beneficial to the development of our family. Moreover, although the Ye family's son has a bad reputation, he is at least powerful. She thinks that only in this way can I have someone to rely on for the rest of my life."

Gu Zhiyi frowned and said, "Such a reason is too absurd. How can we be so careless about marriage?"

Jiang Minjun nodded and said, "Yes, Junior Sister. I strongly oppose this marriage, but my mother insists on it. She even..."

Gu Zhiyi asked nervously: "Even how?"

Jiang Minjun's eyes flashed with fear, and she said, "She even threatened me with the family's interests, saying that if I didn't agree, she would expel me from the family."

Gu Zhiyi's face changed and she said, "How can this be possible! How can they treat you like this? You are the pride of the Ye family."

Jiang Minyun sighed and said, "Junior sister, I know you care about me, but I have made up my mind. I can't let my mother succeed, and I can't let her insult my dignity. I have already reported this to my father."

Gu Zhiyi looked at Jiang Minjun in surprise and asked, "You told your father? What did he say?"

Jiang Minjun showed a relieved smile on his face and said, "After hearing this, my father immediately rejected the Ye family's marriage proposal. He said that the family's honor and interests are important, but my happiness and dignity are more important. He will not let me suffer any grievances."

Gu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. Your father is indeed a wise man. Senior sister, don't worry, I will stand by you and support your decision."
