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

"Sister Yi, help me!" Yao knelt down, tears of grief in her eyes, and said, "Please save my daughter Gu Zhiping..."

There was no reason for Gu Zhiyi to accept the courtesy from her stepmother, so she moved aside, looking surprised and puzzled: "Aunt Yao, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Yao was still kneeling on the ground, crying and saying, "I know I am of low status, but I really have no choice. Please save Gu Zhiping."

Gu Zhiyi's face flashed with doubt. Yao had always been very fond of Gu Zhiping, but this matter seemed to be very serious. She sighed and went forward to help Yao up: "Auntie, get up. Tell me, what happened to Gu Zhiping?"

Yao wiped away her tears and said in a sad voice, "Gu Zhiping...she is pregnant."

Gu Zhiyi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. She looked at Yao, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "Whose child... is this?"

Yao lowered her head in shame: "It's... it belongs to the Shen family's housekeeper Maocai."

Gu Zhiyi frowned. This housekeeper Maocai was a servant of the Shen family. His status was very different from Gu Zhiping's. Such a relationship was naturally not allowed. She said coldly, "Auntie, you also know that such a relationship is unacceptable. If Gu Zhiping insists on doing this, it will probably bring trouble to our Gu Mansion."

Yao said hurriedly: "I know, I know. But Gu Zhiping is still young and immature. If something happens to her, how can I face her father and the ancestors of the Gu family..."

Gu Zhiyi was silent for a while, and her eyes softened as she looked at Yao. She sighed and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will find a way to solve it."

Yao suddenly smiled with tears in her eyes: "Really? Sister Yi, I... I know I am of low status, but you are also my daughter, you will definitely help me, right?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Aunt, we are relatives, I will naturally help you. But this matter involves Gu Zhiping's future, so we need to act with caution."

Yao nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know. As long as you can save Gu Zhiping, I am willing to do anything."

Gu Zhiyi looked at Yao and made up her mind. She turned to the house and shouted, "Gu Zhiping, come out."

After a while, Gu Zhiping walked out of the house with a trace of uneasiness on her face. When she saw Yao crying, she suddenly became nervous: "Mother, what's wrong?"

Yao quickly wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Zhiping, your sister has something to tell you."

Gu Zhiyi looked at Gu Zhiping and said in a serious tone: "Zhiping, I heard that you are pregnant?"

Gu Zhiping blushed and lowered her head: "Yes, sister."

Gu Zhiyi took a deep breath and said, "You know this kind of relationship is unacceptable. You must make a choice."

Gu Zhiping raised her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Sister, I know I made a mistake, but I can't give up this child. Please help me."

Gu Zhiyi looked at Gu Zhiping and sighed inwardly. He said in a deep voice, "Zhiping, listen to me. The current situation is very dangerous for you and the baby in your belly. You must leave here and go to a safe place."

A trace of fear flashed across Gu Zhiping's eyes, but she still said firmly: "Sister, I'm not afraid. As long as I can keep this child, I'm willing to go anywhere."

Gu Zhiyi looked at Gu Zhiping and secretly admired her courage. She turned to Yao and said, "Aunt, we need to find a safe place for Gu Zhiping so that she can rest and take care of her baby."

Yao nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Gu Zhiyi then said to Gu Zhiping: "Zhiping, don't worry, I will find a safe place for you. But during this period, you must be careful and not let anyone know this secret."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Gu Zhiping's eyes: "Sister, thank you."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly: "We are sisters, this is what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Yao sighed softly, revealing a bit of worry between her brows: "Zhiyi, this is not an easy matter. After all, there are many people in the mansion and many eyes. If it gets out, not only will Zhiping's reputation be damaged, I'm afraid it will also cause unnecessary trouble."

Gu Zhiyi knew Yao's concerns very well. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I will personally select a few reliable servants and keep a close watch to ensure that the news does not leak out."

Yao nodded slightly, with a look of gratitude on her face: "Then I'll trouble you, Zhiyi."

At this time, Gu Zhiping slowly spoke: "Sister, Auntie, I have an idea, maybe we can try it. I have a cousin in Jiangnan, his place is rarely visited, if I can stay with him temporarily, it should be a good choice."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with approval. She looked at Gu Zhiping and smiled, "Zhiping, your idea is good. Jiangnan is indeed a good place with a beautiful environment and a pleasant climate, which is conducive to pregnancy. I will write to my cousin and ask him to take good care of you."

Yao patted Gu Zhiping's hand gently and said, "Don't worry, Zhiping, we will arrange everything for you."

A few days later, everything was ready. Gu Zhiyi personally selected a few reliable servants and secretly left the Ningguo Mansion with Gu Zhiping.

On the boat to Jiangnan, Gu Zhiyi and Gu Zhiping sat opposite each other. Gu Zhiping looked out the window at the sparkling river, her heart full of anticipation and anxiety.

"Zhiping, don't worry. Once you arrive in Jiangnan, you can rest and take care of your pregnancy." Gu Zhiyi comforted her softly.

Gu Zhiping turned her head and looked at Gu Zhiyi, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Sister, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do right now."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and patted Gu Zhiping's hand gently: "We are sisters, this is what I should do. Besides, Auntie has always been concerned about you. She will be relieved to know that you are safe."

When the boat reached Jiangnan, Gu Zhiyi and Gu Zhiping finally arrived at their destination. Their cousin Zheng Fengyun had been waiting at the dock for a long time, and when he saw them, he greeted them warmly.

"Zhiyi, Zhiping, you are finally here. I have prepared a quiet place for you to stay and ensure that you can rest and take care of your pregnancy." Zheng Fengyun said enthusiastically.

Gu Zhiyi and Gu Zhiping looked at each other and smiled gratefully.

The three of them came to the residence together. Gu Zhiyi took a careful look and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is indeed a good place, Zhiping, you can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy." Gu Zhiyi said to Gu Zhiping.

Gu Zhiping lived a relatively peaceful life in Jiangnan. Gu Zhiyi and her cousin often came to visit her, bringing her some daily necessities and supplements. Yao also often wrote to ask about her recent situation, making her feel the care of her family.

However, she was also worried that once her secret was revealed, not only would she and her child be harmed, but Gu Zhiyi and Yao would also be implicated.
