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

Chapter 180 Grandma

Luoluo walked into the house and saw her cousin painting at the table. His eyes were focused and his brushstrokes were steady, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

Green ivy stood quietly by, admiring his handwriting.

After a while, my cousin put down his pen, looked up and saw Luluo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Luluo, why are you here?"

Luluo bowed slightly and said softly, "Cousin, my wife asked me to come to Aunt Wen's place to study. I came to say goodbye to you."

A trace of reluctance flashed across my cousin's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He chuckled and said, "I see. Then you must study hard and don't let your wife down."

Luoluo nodded, but she was very reluctant in her heart. She looked at her cousin, a trace of desire flashed in her eyes, and finally she mustered up the courage to say: "Cousin, I have a request, I wonder if you can agree to it."

My cousin looked at Luluo and smiled, "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

Green Radish bit her lip and said, "I want you to teach me how to write."

My cousin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How difficult is that? As long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you anytime."

On the way back to her room, Luluo met Gu Zhiyi. She looked at Madam, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and said, "Madam, you look very tired."

Gu Zhiyi smiled softly and said, "It's okay. I'm just a little tired because I've been busy with work recently. How about you? How have you been studying during this period?"

Luoluo bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I will work hard and live up to your expectations."

Gu Zhiyi looked at Luluo, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She patted Luluo gently and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Madam Gu sighed and said, "Zhiyi, I have inquired about it these days. Your life in Xie Mansion is not easy."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flickered slightly, she slowly lowered her head, and forced a bitter smile: "Grandma, you always care about me so much, I am very grateful."

Madam Gu's eyes were deep and sharp. She stroked her clothes and said slowly, "I know you are a strong-willed child who doesn't want to show weakness in front of others. But in this mansion, you are a woman after all. You must learn to protect yourself."

Gu Zhiyi sighed softly, raised her head and looked at her grandmother, with a bit of helplessness in her eyes: "Grandma, I know you are right. But sometimes, I am really tired."

Madam Gu nodded slightly, with a hint of understanding and love in her eyes: "I know that you have to deal with trivial matters in the Xie Mansion, and also deal with those power-hungry villains. Today, tell me about those things, and let me help you make a decision."

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said:

"Grandmother, ever since I married into the Xie Mansion, there have been constant affairs in the mansion. Although my husband dotes on me, other people in the mansion treat me coldly. Especially the eldest lady, she always tries to exclude me. A few days ago, she even falsely accused me of embezzling the property of the mansion."

Madam Gu frowned, with a hint of anger in her eyes: "This eldest lady is really going too far. Zhiyi, don't worry, grandma will definitely make the decision for you."

Gu Zhiyi shook her head gently, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Grandma, I don't want you to worry about me. I have already thought of a solution, but I am worried that this will affect the relationship between my husband and the first lady."

Madam Gu's eyes softened a little, and she gently patted Gu Zhiyi's hand: "Zhiyi, you are a smart child. Grandma believes that you can handle this matter well."

The two were silent for a while, and Gu Zhiyi continued, "Grandma, there is one more thing I have always wanted to tell you. My husband seems to be worried recently. He often suffers from insomnia at night, and sometimes gets drunk."

Madam Gu's eyes became serious. She thought for a moment and said, "You can't delay this matter any longer. Tomorrow, find an opportunity to have him come to see me and ask him in person."

Gu Zhiyi nodded gently, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Grandma, please take care of your health and don't work too hard for me."

Madam Gu smiled gently, with a trace of kindness in her eyes: "Zhiyi, grandma can still hold on. As long as I can help you solve the problem, it's worth it for me to worry about it a little more."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is Gu Zhiyi's birthday. The Gu residence is decorated with lights and is bustling. Old Madam Gu personally prepared a sumptuous banquet for Gu Zhiyi and specially invited many relatives and friends to celebrate her birthday.

However, in this lively occasion, Gu Zhiyi felt a little heavy-hearted. She knew that Mrs. Xie would definitely take this opportunity to suppress her. Sure enough, at the banquet, Mrs. Xie ridiculed her from time to time, making her feel more pressured.

Gu Zhiyi forced herself to smile and tried not to be affected. However, when she saw her grandmother's worried eyes, she felt a pain in her heart. She knew that she could not let her grandmother worry anymore.

So, after the banquet, Gu Zhiyi found Mrs. Xie and said with a smile: "Madam, I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but please believe that I have never done anything to let the Xie family down. I will do my best to make up for your loss, and I only ask you not to embarrass Grandmother again."

Mrs. Xie's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Gu Zhiyi to take the initiative to find her. She sneered: "Do you think you can let me let you go with just a few words?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled calmly: "I know it's not easy, but I am willing to give everything for my grandmother and the Gu family."

Mrs. Xie was moved by Gu Zhiyi's firm attitude, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Perhaps, she really misunderstood this girl. Looking at Gu Zhiyi's departing back, Mrs. Xie felt a complex emotion in her heart.

……

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect the old lady to like it so much. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner fluctuations, then slowly walked to the old lady and gently called out, "Grandma, do you really like this gift?"

Madam Gu smiled slightly, with a kind light in her eyes. She patted Gu Zhiyi's hand gently and said, "Zhiyi, how can grandma not like your thoughtfulness? This gift is not only exquisite, but also contains your filial piety. How can grandma not be moved?"

When Gu Zhiyi heard this, her heart warmed. She slowly sat down and sat opposite the old lady.

"Grandma, how are you feeling lately?" Gu Zhiyi asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

Madam Gu smiled gently and said, "Zhiyi, grandma is in good health, you don't have to worry too much. But you should pay more attention to your health. After all, you are the backbone of the mansion, and all the big and small affairs of the mansion depend on you."

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Don't worry, grandma, Zhiyi will do her best to manage all the affairs of the mansion and not let you worry."

"Grandma, are you worried about something?" Gu Zhiyi noticed this keenly and asked softly.

Madam Gu was slightly stunned, then she sighed softly and said, "Zhiyi, you know, things have been a little bit turbulent in the mansion recently, and I'm worried that you will be implicated."

Gu Zhiyi felt nervous when she heard this.
