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

Chapter 138 One-sided words

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "I know, but I'm always worried. Madam Yang, do you think I'm a failure as a mother?"

Nanny Yang said hurriedly, "Madam, please don't say that. You are an excellent mother. It's just that the world is dangerous and children will inevitably encounter some setbacks. You have done a good job."

Gu Zhiyi sighed and said, "I know, but I just feel uncomfortable. By the way, Madam Yang, do you think I have become too sentimental recently?"

Nanny Yang thought for a moment and said, "Madam, you have always been very gentle. It's just that you have been feeling unwell recently, so you are a little sentimental. When you are well, you will return to your previous self."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "I hope so. Madam Yang, how do you think I should deal with these troubles?"

Nanny Yang thought for a moment and said, "Madam, you can speak out your worries. Maybe you will feel better after speaking them out. Of course, you can also find something to do to distract yourself."

Gu Zhiyi nodded and said, "That's right, I should find something to do. Mammy, how do you think I should arrange my time?"

Nanny Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, you can consider picking up your hobbies again, such as painting, writing, playing the piano, etc. These hobbies can make you happy and also help you forget your troubles temporarily."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes gleamed, and she said, "You're right, I should give it a try. Madam Yang, do you think I'm in good enough physical condition to start practicing now?"

Nanny Yang carefully observed Gu Zhiyi for a moment and said, "Madam, your body has almost recovered. You can practice some relaxing hobbies appropriately. But remember not to overdo it."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "I know, I will pay attention. Thank you, Madam Yang."

Madam Yang said hurriedly, "Madam, this is what I should do. As long as you are happy, I will be relieved."

On this day, Gu Zhiyi was painting in the garden. Nanny Yang came over with a hint of joy on her face and said, "Madam, the eldest lady is back and is waiting for you in the hall."

Gu Zhiyi put down the paintbrush in her hand, her eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly said, "Really? Come on, take me to see her."

Nanny Yang hurriedly helped Gu Zhiyi walk towards the hall, secretly feeling happy for Gu Zhiyi in her heart.

Gu Zhiyi walked into the hall with the help of Nanny Yang. Xie Huiyi was sitting on the chair dignifiedly, still looking elegant and refined, but with a hint of calmness in her eyes.

Gu Zhiyi quickened her pace and walked to her daughter excitedly. She looked her up and down, her eyes full of concern and joy: "Huiyi, you're back. Mother missed you so much."

Xie Huiyi quickly stood up, tightly holding Gu Zhiyi's hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mom, I miss you too."

Gu Zhiyi patted her daughter's hand gently and asked with concern: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Xie Huiyi smiled slightly and said, "This time when I come back, I plan to stay for a while to accompany my mother and family."

Gu Zhiyi felt warm at the words. She patted her daughter's shoulder and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good. During this time, mother will accompany you to travel around and relax."

Nanny Yang looked at the mother and daughter and felt happy for them. She said softly, "Madam, the young lady is tired from the journey. Why don't you let her rest for a while and have dinner together in the evening?"

Gu Zhiyi nodded and said to Xie Huiyi, "Then you should go and rest first. We will get together as a family tonight to celebrate your return."

Xie Huiyi responded and turned to walk towards her room.

In the evening, the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion was brightly lit, and the hall was filled with sumptuous dishes. The family members of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion took their seats, waiting for the dinner to begin. Gu Zhiyi sat in the main seat, and Xie Huiyi sat next to her. Nanny Yang stood behind Gu Zhiyi, always paying attention to her needs.

As the dinner started, Gu Zhiyi and Xie Huiyi talked more. They talked about the changes over the years and each other's lives. Gu Zhiyi asked with concern: "Huiyi, have you been doing well these years away from home? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Xie Huiyi smiled and said, "Mom, my daughter is living a good life out there. Although I sometimes encounter some difficulties, I have survived. Moreover, these experiences have also made me grow a lot."

Gu Zhiyi nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Do you have a crush on someone? When do you plan to get married?"

Xie Huiyi blushed slightly, lowered her head and said softly: "Mother, I don't have a favorite person yet, and I don't plan to get married in a hurry. Now, I just want to be with you and be filial to you."

Gu Zhiyi looked at her daughter, feeling both moved and relieved.

Suddenly, Gu Zhiyi turned around and said to Madam Yang, "Madam, you have been with me all these years, helping me take care of this family. You have worked so hard."

Nanny Yang said hurriedly, "Madam, you are too kind. This is what a servant should do. As long as Madam is happy, I will be satisfied."

Gu Zhiyi gently patted Madam Yang's hand and said, "Madam, you are a good person. In the future, I hope to be with you and watch Huiyi get married and start a family, and watch her be happy."

There was a touch of emotion in Nanny Yang's eyes.

……

"I didn't lie." Xiang Zhu slowly sat down on the couch, his tone firm and calm.

Gu Zhiyi sat on the rosewood chair opposite, her brows slightly furrowed, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Xie Yunce stood behind his mother, looking at Xiang Zhu sharply, and weighing the situation in his mind. He knew that his mother was very thoughtful, and she would not easily believe the words of this stranger unless she was absolutely sure.

"Xiang Zhu, do you know that you are now in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, not a place where you can talk nonsense at will?" Xie Yunce said coldly, his eyes revealing his wariness towards this stranger.

Xiang Zhu smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Second Master Xie, I naturally know that this is the Xie Mansion, but every word I said is true. Otherwise, how dare I speak frankly in front of Madam?"

Gu Zhiyi pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Xiang Zhu, since you said this, it proves that you have evidence. Otherwise, how can I believe you based on your one-sided words?"

Xiang Zhu nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Zhiyi: "Madam, I got this letter from a reliable person. The letter records the whole story in detail. I believe that after reading it, you will understand it."

Gu Zhiyi took the letter, slowly opened it, and quickly scanned the letter paper. Xie Yunce also stared at his mother nervously, secretly guessing the contents of the letter.

After a moment, Gu Zhiyi raised her head, with a flash of astonishment in her eyes: "This...how is this possible?"

Xiang Zhu smiled slightly: "Madam, this is the truth. This secret is hidden too deeply. If I hadn't discovered it by chance, I'm afraid it would never be revealed."

Xie Yunce frowned: "Mother, can the contents of this letter be trusted? How can we be sure that this is not a trick of Xiang Zhu?"
