Chapter 235 He couldn't get away, so she sent someone to go
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid you've wasted your life. You're such a kind boy, you should live a happy life in the second half of your life, not full of sorrow and resentment."
Xie Tianyou didn't know whether to be sad or happy.
At least, my sister still cares about him, right?
He tried to comfort himself, then shook his head at Shen Yuanwei.
He whispered, "Sister, I won't lie to you. I am indeed looking for a candidate in the minister's house, but not for my princess."
Shen Yuanwei was a little surprised, "So what you are looking for is..."
Xie Tianyou whispered, “Sister, don’t tell anyone, including Brother Xiao—this is my secret, I can tell you, but I don’t want others to know, okay?”
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "Okay, I promise not to tell anyone."
Xie Tianyou then revealed his real purpose.
"I'm actually looking for a handsome young man. I think my mother is too lonely, so I want to find a few male lovers for her..."
Shen Yuanwei was stunned.
Oh my God, were there such open-minded boys in ancient times?
Even in modern times, many men are unwilling to let their widowed mothers remarry, let alone in ancient times when people value being faithful to one partner until death?
Shen Yuanwei thought, could it be that she had influenced Ayou's thinking over the years?
Xie Tianyou took in Shen Yuanwei's surprised expression.
He said, "Sister, do you think that what I did is too unorthodox? Do you think that I shouldn't do this?"
Shen Yuanwei pondered for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
"No, I don't know what others think, but I support you."
"Your mother is blessed in her previous life to have a good son like you who understands her loneliness and is willing to find a companion for her. Put yourself in her shoes. If I had a scumbag husband, and my child and I were deeply hurt by him, and after he died, I would still have to remain a widow for him due to the secular world, then I would really feel wronged and aggrieved—"
"If one day my son secretly surprises me by finding a handsome, beautiful and charming male companion to accompany me, I will be so moved that I will cry. I will feel that it is worth it to raise such a son in this life!"
When Xie Tianyou heard his sister say this, he immediately smiled shyly.
He is a little bit proud.
His sister praised him for doing a good job.
Then he will have to carry this matter through to the end.
Not far away, Nanny Cui shouted, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is still waiting for you."
Xie Tianyou thought of his mother who was not feeling well, and reluctantly said to Shen Yuanwei, "Sister, my mother is not feeling well, I'm going to see her first——"
Shen Yuanwei responded, "Okay, go ahead. As long as you are fine, my sister and Brother Xiao will be relieved."
Xie Tianyou said goodbye to Shen Yuanwei obediently, nodded to Xiao Lingzhao, then turned and left.
Shen Yuanwei walked back to Xiao Lingzhao.
She told Xiao Lingzhao, "Don't worry, Ayou is not looking for a princess."
Xiao Lingzhao was a little puzzled. "What is he looking for?"
Shen Yuanwei curled her lips, "This is his secret. Once he finishes this matter, you will be able to hear some news from other people in a few months."
She thought that if Queen Mother Jiang really had a male lover, news of this would definitely spread. Although it might not be known to everyone, the powerful and influential people would definitely hear some news.
Xiao Lingzhao was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's secrets. When he heard Shen Yuanwei say that this was Xie Tianyou's secret, he stopped asking any more questions.
He and Shen Yuanwei turned back.
Shen Yuanwei said as she walked, "Do you think Queen Mother Jiang is really unwell or is she pretending? Is she calling Prince Rui away as part of her plan to harm me?"
Xiao Lingzhao nodded, "Very likely."
He turned his head to look at the direction where King Rui left. "King Rui has been called away first. If someone comes to call you again later, then there must be something fishy going on."
Shen Yuanwei deeply agreed with this.
Back in the hall, Shen Yuanwei suddenly looked at Xie Congyuan, who was sitting on the throne with his little feet raised and nestled in the Queen's arms.
Queen Wei herself didn't eat much. She was peeling shrimps and picking fish bones for Xie Congyuan. Seeing Xie Congyuan eating happily and contentedly in her arms, she also smiled heartily.
Shen Yuanwei narrowed her eyes slightly.
She walked to a place not far from the queen and bowed.
"The Queen."
Queen Wei raised her eyes and looked over.
Seeing that it was Shen Yuanwei, she smiled happily and greeted, "Sister, do you want to talk to me? Okay, I'll wipe my hands and we'll go to the back -"
Shen Yuanwei nodded and said yes.
She looked at Xie Congyuan again and asked the Queen, "Why is only Yuan'er here and not Yun'er?"
Queen Wei said, "Yun'er went to his royal grandmother's bedroom. He said he would come when the banquet started, but he hasn't come for such a long time. Maybe his royal grandmother is not feeling well, so he stayed there to accompany her."
Queen Wei held Shen Yuanwei's hand and joked, "I don't know how you are so good at giving birth to children. Yun'er is so sensible that he doesn't seem like a child. He is really worry-free."
Shen Yuanwei held Queen Wei's hand and said with a smile, "It's not my credit. It's obviously because my sister knows how to teach children. That's why she brought up the two children so well and they are loved by everyone."
Queen Wei could also be proud.
These two children are indeed her greatest pride.
Just as she was about to take Shen Yuanwei to the back, Shen Yuanwei bent down and took Xie Congyuan's hand, and gently told Xie Congyuan -
"Yuan'er, mother misses brother. Can you go to the Royal Grandmother's bedroom to look for brother? If brother is not busy, you can let him come with you. If the Royal Grandmother does not let brother go, you can come back to accompany mother, okay?"
Xie Congyuan nodded obediently.
"Okay, mother!"
He happily hugged Shen Yuanwei's legs, then turned around to hug Queen Wei's legs, raised his head and acted coquettishly, "Mother, mother, please ask my cousin to carry me. It's dark and I don't want to walk."
Queen Wei tapped his little brow and said, "You, you just like to pester your cousin to carry you on his back."
Having said that, Queen Wei was happy to see her adopted son getting close to her nephew from her mother's side, so she immediately asked someone to call her eldest brother's youngest son over.
Young Master Wei was fourteen years old this year. He was a bright and cheerful young man. He came forward to pay his respects to Queen Wei and Shen Yuanwei, then picked up Xie Congyuan in a familiar manner and said with a smile, "Come on, cousin will hold you!"
Xie Congyuan lay on his cousin's shoulder, feeling very happy.
Watching the two cousins walk away, Shen Yuanwei smiled with relief.
"The Queen and Prime Minister Wei have indeed done what they promised me. They treat the two children as their own children. The Wei family also treats them as their own family. If you didn't really treat the two children well, Yuan'er wouldn't be so attached to my cousin and wouldn't act like a spoiled child to him like this."
Queen Wei smiled.
She said, "Sister is a good person, and the two children are so obedient and well-behaved. We certainly hope that all of us will be well. None of us will play tricks on the two children, so you can rest assured, sister."
Shen Yuanwei was naturally relieved.
As she walked, she looked in the direction where Xie Congyuan left.
I don’t know if Yun’er overheard anything when he helped her monitor Nanny Cui and Queen Mother Jiang today.
She deliberately let Yuan'er go over there, just to see if she could bring back any news...
…
The Queen Mother's bedroom.
Xie Chengyun was so exhausted that his scalp was almost peeling off, but he couldn't think of a way to escape smoothly.
He was very anxious.
He just wanted to ignore everything and run away!
Just when he was getting anxious, he suddenly saw his little cousin coming with Yuaner. His eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed!
Ahhhh that's great!
His fat brother is here, and his reliable cousin is here. He can tell Yuan'er and his cousin what he overheard, and Yuan'er can go back and tell his mother!
