Chapter 188
His mother was the best woman in the world.
A gentle breeze swayed the woman, who wore a long green robe. A simple jade hairpin adorned her hair, and two small white flowers in her black hair added a touch of softness to her appearance. She was aloof and proud, yet still possessed a beautiful charm.
Shen Qingnian gently stroked Xiao Yanqing's soft little face and said with guilt, "Yanqing, your mother is not that good. Your mother deceived your father back then, which is the same as deceiving you."
She felt that Yan Qing should know the truth.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanqing shook his head: "Mother, I believe you must have your reasons. Father is not a heartless person. He has missed you very much during the years you were gone. If you apologize to Father, he will forgive you."
He understood his father's feelings for his mother from birth. Even though his mother faked her death and left the palace, he felt that his father was angry with his mother, but also loved her!
Hearing what Xiao Yanqing said, Shen Qingnian felt that the child was simple-minded and said, "Yanqing doesn't blame her mother for what she did wrong. Her mother is already very happy."
As for the man, she only needs to wait for him to punish her. She is already satisfied and has no regrets that she was able to see Yan Qing in her lifetime.
Shen Qingnian's only wish in life was to have her own mother. After giving birth to two children, she had two more. As for her feelings for Song Xuan, she did have them, but she also felt guilty towards him.
The man was the crown prince, and she knew he could never forgive her, so she suppressed her thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
In the following days, the Shen family was unusually peaceful. Song Xuan did not come, nor did he send anyone. Xiao Yanqing went to the school to find Shen Qingnian every day.
In just a few days, the mother and son became much closer. Blood ties are an unbreakable bond, not to mention that their mother-son relationship has never been severed.
Shen Qingnian also heard from Xiao Yanqing that Song Xuan had gone to handle some business, which was why he hadn't appeared and hadn't come to deal with her and the Shen family.
Upon seeing her beloved mother, Xiao Yanqing wanted to go home with her to see her maternal grandmother and her younger sister.
However, Shen Qingnian rejected his request.
"Yan Qing, it's not the right time yet," Shen Qingnian said, stroking little Yan Qing's head.
Xiao Yanqing was obedient by nature. Since his mother said it wasn't the right time, he obediently waited.
The sun is setting.
Shen Qingnian escorted Xiao Yanqing back to the inn. On the bluestone path, the shadows of the mother and son stretched very long.
At the entrance of the inn, Shen Qingnian handed the calligraphy book to Xiao Yanqing and gently gestured, "Go in."
This calligraphy copybook was handwritten by her while she stayed up all night these past few nights. There were many great scholars in the palace, and she knew she couldn't compare to them. She only wanted Xiao Yanqing to keep it as a memento.
Xiao Yanqing took the calligraphy book that Shen Qingnian gave him and hugged it tightly to his chest. His eyes were slightly red, but his tone was very happy: "Thank you, Mother. I like it very much!"
This is a calligraphy copybook that his mother wrote for him by hand, something he never dared to dream of before.
Shen Qingnian watched Xiao Yanqing return to the inn, then stood at the door for a while before turning to leave.
Inside the guesthouse room on the second floor.
Song Xuan's gaze passed through the wooden window and settled on the slender, bluish-green figure on the street.
As the sun sets, that figure gradually disappears into the distance...
The guard beside him presented a letter from the capital: "Your Majesty, this contains all the deeds of the Empress, including everything she did in the Shen residence."
