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

Gu Zhiyi's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Yao, anger rising in her heart.

But now is not the time to be angry. She took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, and said calmly: "Mother, I know you hate me, but you can't deprive me of the rights I deserve just because of your personal grudges."

Yao stared at Gu Zhiyi, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes: "Zhiyi, do you think you can escape from my grasp? I tell you, in this Gu Mansion, no one can protect you."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes were firm. She looked at Yao and said coldly, "Mother, you are wrong. In this Gu Mansion, there is still Green Radish."

Luoluo stood behind Gu Zhiyi and looked at Yao with firm eyes.

Yao looked at Luluo with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She didn't expect that this usually docile maid would have such a firm look in her eyes.

"Luoluo, do you think that a mere maid like you can protect your lady?" Yao sneered.

Green ivy straightened her back with a firm look in her eyes: "Madam, even if I am just an insignificant blade of grass, I will use my life to protect my lady."

Yao's face changed. She didn't expect that this usually timid maid would be so bold. She stared at Luluo and said coldly, "Luluo, are you looking for death?"

A hint of emotion flashed across Gu Zhiyi's eyes. She looked at Luoluo and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Mother, Luoluo is right. In this Gu Mansion, as long as I am still alive, I will not let you hurt her." Gu Zhiyi looked at Yao with firm eyes and a cold tone.

Yao stared at Gu Zhiyi, anger welling up in her heart. She didn't expect Gu Zhiyi to dare to challenge her so openly. She sneered and said, "Okay, I'll see how you protect her."

After saying that, Yao turned and left, leaving Gu Zhiyi and Luluo in the hall.

Gu Zhiyi looked at Luluo, patted her shoulder gently, and said firmly: "Luluo, we will not lose."

Luoluo smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

From then on, Gu Zhiyi and Luluo's life in the Gu Mansion became more difficult. Yao Shi kept making trouble for them and tried to force them to leave the Gu Mansion. But Gu Zhiyi and Luluo gritted their teeth and persevered.

On this day, Gu Zhiyi and Luluo were walking in the garden. As they looked at the spring scenery in the garden, they felt a surge of emotion in their hearts.

"Miss, look, these flowers are blooming." Green ivy pointed at the flowers in the garden with a joyful tone.

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, "Yes, green ivy. Just like us, even in difficult situations, we must strive to bloom."

At this moment, a figure came from a distance. Gu Zhiyi and Luluo looked up and found that it was Gu Zhiyi's cousin Zheng Fengyun.

Zheng Fengyun looked at Gu Zhiyi and Luluo and smiled: "Zhiyi, Luluo, what are you doing here?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Cousin, let's take a walk in the garden."

Zheng Fengyun nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing across his eyes: "You really have the leisure time."

Zheng Fengyun walked slowly, his clothes fluttering, looking very elegant.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyi blushed slightly, lowered her head quickly, and said softly, "Thank you for the compliment, cousin. It's just an ordinary walk."

Zheng Fengyun smiled, his eyes stayed on Luluo for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, you are becoming more and more like a great person. Luluo, you also take good care of her."

Green Lotus bowed hurriedly: "Thank you for the compliment, young master. This is my duty."

Zheng Fengyun nodded slightly, with approval in his eyes. He turned around and sat down on the bench in the garden, inviting: "Since you are here, why don't you have a chat together?"

Gu Zhiyi and Luluo smiled at each other, then sat down next to Zheng Fengyun.

Zheng Fengyun looked at Gu Zhiyi and asked with concern: "Zhiyi, have you been doing well at home recently? How is the old lady of the Ningguo Mansion doing?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "The old lady is still in good health, but she has been busy with affairs recently and is a little tired."

Zheng Fengyun frowned and said thoughtfully: "Zhiyi, you should pay more attention to the old lady. You don't have to worry too much about the affairs of the family."

Gu Zhiyi sighed softly: "My cousin is right, but as the wife of Duke Ningguo, I have to share the worries of family affairs."

Green Rose interjected, "Madam is indeed very hard-working, but she always faces it with a smile, which makes people feel distressed when they see her."

Zheng Fengyun's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he looked at Gu Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, you are always so strong, which makes people admire and feel distressed."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a blush on her cheeks: "Cousin, you are too kind. I am just doing my best to contribute to the family."

While the three of them were chatting, Zheng Fengyun suddenly changed the subject: "Zhiyi, do you know what's new in Beijing recently?"

Gu Zhiyi shook her head gently: "I seldom go out, so I don't know much about what's going on in the capital."

Zheng Fengyun's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing: "Then do you know that recently there is a young man named Hou Yifeng who has become famous in the capital?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Hou Yifeng? I seem to have heard someone mention him. Isn't he the son of the Minister of Rites?"

Zheng Fengyun nodded: "That's right. This young master is talented and elegant, and many people praise him highly."

Luoluo asked curiously, "My cousin, is this Mr. Hou Yifeng expected to become the top scholar?"

Zheng Fengyun smiled and said, "That's hard to say. But he is definitely a popular candidate this year."

Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy: "Cousin, what do you think of this Mr. Hou Yifeng?"

Zheng Fengyun pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Hou Yifeng is indeed talented, but his personality is a bit too flamboyant. I don't know if he is suitable for such an important task."

Gu Zhiyi sighed softly: "My cousin is right. I also think there are some problems with his character."

Green Rose couldn't help but ask: "Madam, who do you think is more suitable for the important task?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and shook her head: "I don't know either. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

……

After returning to the Ningguo Mansion, Luluo helped Gu Zhiyi get out of the car, but she hadn't yet stood firmly.

Nanny Yang came out in big strides and said, "Madam, you are finally back. The wife of Marquis Zhaoping sent a letter inviting you to go to appreciate the chrysanthemums in the middle of the month."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes, and said: "Madam Yang, thank you for your hard work. Luluo, let's go change clothes first, and then go to the living room to meet the guests."

Luoluo carefully supported Gu Zhiyi, and Nanny Yang followed beside her, and walked into the mansion. The servants in the mansion saluted one after another, and Nanny Yang's face was full of pride. She whispered to Luoluo: "Look, the Madam is back, and everyone in the mansion is much more energetic."

Luoluo nodded gently, feeling proud of the lady in her heart. The three of them came to the inner room, Gu Zhiyi sat in front of the mirror, Luoluo carefully arranged her hair accessories, and Yang Ma Ma reported the affairs of the mansion to the side.

"Madam, the wife of Marquis Zhaoping invites you to appreciate chrysanthemums this time. It is said that she specially transplanted more than a dozen precious chrysanthemums from Jiangnan. She also wants you to taste her newly acquired Pu'er tea." said Madam Yang.
