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

After Gu Zhiyi left, Xie Huiyi and Xie Huixuan were speechless. They looked at the beautiful scenery in the garden, each with their own thoughts.

After a while, Xie Huixuan couldn't help but ask, "Sister, do you want to be like mother?"

Xie Huiyi was slightly stunned, looked at Xie Huixuan, and asked, "What about you?"

Xie Huixuan smiled and said, "Of course I want to be like my mother. She is smart and strong, and can handle any difficulties calmly. I think becoming a person like my mother is my lifelong goal."

Xie Huiyi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "In fact, I also aspire to be like my mother. I deeply admire her wisdom and ability."

Xie Huixuan gently held Xie Huiyi's hand and comforted her: "Sister, no one is perfect. Mother also has her difficulties. We must learn to understand her and tolerate her. Only in this way can we become people like our mother."

Xie Huiyi looked at Xie Huixuan, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes. She nodded slightly, and the two sisters smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations for the future.

Gu Zhiyi was busy with housework. She looked out the window at the garden and prayed silently in her heart that her two daughters could resolve their misunderstandings and grow together.

As the sun was setting, Gu Zhiyi came to the garden again after finishing her work. She was relieved to see Xie Huiyi and Xie Huixuan walking hand in hand with smiles on their faces.

She walked over, patted Xie Huiyi and Xie Huixuan on the shoulders, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have resolved the misunderstanding. Very good, from now on, we must work together and become a family."

Xie Huiyi and Xie Huixuan responded in unison: "Yes, mother."

At this time, Xie Huiyi suddenly said: "Mother, I have a question. I have always wanted to know how you maintain such a high status in the mansion and how do you deal with these complicated interpersonal relationships?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a gleam in her eyes: "Huiyi, this is a good question. In fact, the reason why I can gain a foothold in the mansion is because of my wisdom and ability. I always believe that only if I am strong enough can I gain a firm foothold in this mansion."

Xie Huixuan's eyes flashed with longing, and she asked softly: "Mother, we also want to be like you, can you teach us?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled and nodded: "Of course. From now on, I will slowly teach you how to manage the affairs of the mansion and how to handle interpersonal relationships. But you must also remember that at all times, you must maintain your kind nature and not let power blind your eyes."

The two daughters responded in unison: "Daughters will remember this."

In the garden of Duke Ningguo's mansion, the three of them smiled at each other, enjoying themselves.

……

The next day.

In the clan school classroom, Gu Zhiyi sat in the last row of seats, looking at her eldest son Xie Yunchen with a kind look.

Xie Yunchen straightened his back, listened attentively to the teacher's explanation, nodded from time to time, and was serious and sincere. Gu Zhiyi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

After class, Gu Zhiyi walked over, patted Xie Yunchen on the shoulder, and said, "Yunchen, you performed very well in class today. I am very pleased."

Xie Yunchen raised his head, looked at Gu Zhiyi, and smiled: "Mother, I have never forgotten your expectations of me."

After a while, Gu Zhiyi asked softly: "Yun Chen, why do you look so tired recently? Is there something bothering you?"

Xie Yunchen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect his mother to be so attentive. He sighed and said, "Mom, I am indeed a little tired. I have not been sleeping well at night recently."

Gu Zhiyi frowned and said with concern: "Health is the capital of revolution. How can you do this? I'll give you half a day off so you can have a good rest." Xie Yunchen looked at his mother gratefully, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Mom, I want to use this half day off to visit my wife Wu Jingying."

Xie Yunchen was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Mother, I know you care about me, but I am indeed a little tired. It may be because of the academic pressure recently, and Jingying moved into the main house to take care of the baby, so I am a little worried."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "So that's how it is. I understand. You are a good and responsible husband, but you should also take care of your body. How about this, I will allow you to take a half-day off to relax and see Jingying by the way."

A glimmer of joy flashed across Xie Yunchen's eyes, but he soon regained his composure. He asked cautiously, "Mother, do you really agree that I should go see Jingying?"

Gu Zhiyi nodded and said, "Of course, you are her husband, so it is your duty to care about her. However, you must remember not to give up your studies. After all, you still have a longer way to go."

Xie Yunchen nodded quickly and said that he would balance his studies and family.

Gu Zhiyi asked softly: "Yun Chen, have you ever thought about why I am so concerned about your studies?"

A hint of humility flashed in Xie Yunchen's eyes, and he replied, "Mother, I know very well that you expect me to succeed in my studies and bring glory to our family."

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly, and her tone became softer: "You are right, but I hope you can become a responsible man. Your recent performance has made me see the potential and hope in you."

Xie Yunchen responded sincerely: "Mother, I will work tirelessly to live up to your expectations. However, I am always worried that my wife Wu Jingying will be alone in the main house to take care of her pregnancy. I am afraid it will be inconvenient."

Gu Zhiyi patted his hand comfortingly: "You don't have to worry, I have sent trustworthy servants to take good care of her. She moved into the main house so that she can get better rest. You just need to concentrate on your studies, and you don't need to be distracted by other matters."

A trace of determination flashed in Xie Yunchen's eyes: "Mom, I understand. But even so, I still hope to find time to visit her. After all, she is in the time when she needs care the most."

Gu Zhiyi nodded in understanding and said gently, "I understand your intentions, which is why I agreed to let you visit her this afternoon. However, you must remember that academic studies are the most important thing, and you must not let personal feelings hinder your future."

Xie Yunchen stood in awe and said firmly: "Mother, I will remember your teachings in my heart. I will put my studies first, but I will also take care of my family and live up to your expectations."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and patted Xie Yunchen on the shoulder: "Okay, I believe you. Then go visit Wu Jingying this afternoon. However, I want to remind you not to show too much excitement in front of her, so as not to affect her mood."

Xie Yunchen nodded and agreed: "Mother, I will pay attention."

In the afternoon, Xie Yunchen came to the main house and saw Wu Jingying lying quietly on the bed with a happy smile on her face. He walked gently to the bed, held her hand, and said softly: "Jingjing, I'm here to see you."

Wu Jingying opened her eyes and saw Xie Yunchen, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Yunchen, why are you here?"
