Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1363

Seeing that Shi Chengyi had not returned home yet, Yu Sujun couldn't help but feel anxious.

Shi Yunzhou comforted his mother, "Father is a sensible man. He must have encountered something, that's why he didn't come back. Mother, don't think too much."

Shi Anxue also nodded, her eyes were watery and shiny like grapes, "Now our North Wing is peaceful and safe."

Yu Sujun's mood immediately relaxed after hearing this, and she touched her daughter's face, "Oh, the little girl also knows 'Seas are peaceful and rivers are clear', amazing."

Shi Anxue raised her chin, "I know a lot. Isn't that how Sister Xia'er got her title of 'Princess Haiyan'? Everyone is guessing if there is also a 'Princess Heqing', hehe!"

In this way, Yu Sujun slept peacefully all night with the comfort of her children.

It was daybreak and Yu Sujun was no longer sleepy. She had just sat up and was getting dressed in the dark when she saw a beam of light.

She lifted the curtain and poked her head out to look, "Madame Yu, didn't I tell you not to keep watch?"

Nanny Yu was her personal nanny and also the nanny in charge of the entire house. "I am old and have a light sleep. I can't fall asleep even if I lie down. I came in when I heard the noise. Madam, you got up so early, are you worried that the master didn't come back all night?"

"Master hasn't come back yet?" Yu Sujun put on her clothes and got out of bed.

During the period of mourning, the couple slept in separate rooms.

Yu Ma replied, "I have been guarding here because I am worried that the master will come back suddenly. It is dark and it would be bad if he stumbles and bumps into something."

The mansion had always lived frugally, and many servants had been dismissed. Now, except for the gatekeeper, there was basically no one to serve in the yard at night.

Yu Sujun sat in front of the bronze mirror and murmured, "My husband didn't come home all night, and he didn't need someone to come back and tell me. He usually tells me where he goes and how long he will be back."

Nanny Yu was silent for a moment, and while she was tying up her master's hair, she said, "Madam, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Just let Madam tell you." Yu Sujun turned around and said, "Just sit down and talk."

Nanny Yu sat down as she was told, lowering her head, "Old slave... Old slave..."

Yu Sujun frowned, "Madam, what is it that is so difficult to say?"

Nanny Yu was silent for a moment before she took out a crumpled piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Yu Sujun. "This is what I found when I was cleaning the study, and I hid it away."

Yu Sujun didn't know why her heart was beating violently.

When I opened the paper, I saw it was a casually drawn portrait.

With just a few strokes, the image comes to life.

At first, what she was thinking was, was the person her husband was painting Xia'er?

The girl in the portrait has a very beautiful face and her features are vivid.

Anyone who knows him would think that the portrait is Shi Anxia.

Only Yu Sujun knew that the person in the portrait was not Xia'er, but Tang Chujun.

Because the girl had her hair in a crescent-shaped bun, which was the most popular hairstyle for girls in Beijing twenty years ago.

Yu Sujun put the portrait into her sleeve and said to Nanny Yu, "Has anyone else seen this portrait?"

Yu Ma shook her head. "The master's study has always been cleaned by me personally. The master has always been very clean and has always kept everything in order. This piece of paper may not have been thrown into the dustbin at that time, but rolled to the side and was discovered by me." She was very embarrassed. "Madam, I saw on the portrait that it was, it was the second..."

Yu Sujun lowered her eyes and interrupted, "Mammy, no matter who you see in the portrait, it's all in your stomach."

Nanny Yu replied, "Yes." She couldn't help but sigh at the end of the sentence, "I just feel that Madam..."

Yu Sujun raised her eyes and said, "Mammy, I'm a little thirsty. Please boil a kettle of water for me to make a cup of hot tea."
