Chapter 185 Returning to Beijing Together

After frolicking for a while, the two sat down to talk.

Su Junning called Nan Xu to come in and serve tea.

The maid was not allowed to come in just now because Shen Qianwei wanted to take the medicine shirtless, and it would be more convenient now.

"The fugitive told me to kill him, how do you explain to the court?" Su Junning asked this first.

After all, it was the imperial court who wanted to commit crimes, and there was no way he would have to be interrogated. This would mean that the person would be gone, and he was more or less afraid that the higher-ups would blame him.

However, Shen Qianwei looked calm, and seemed to have nothing to worry about.

"It's okay. Everyone else in this case has been arrested. Only Qian Huan is a variable. This is a common thing in hunting fugitives. As long as you are sure that the person is captured, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive."

Anyway, Qian Huan was sentenced to death when he was arrested and returned to Bianjing.

As for the evil things he has done, his henchmen will also speak out for him.

After hearing this, Su Junning felt relieved and nodded.

Then Shen Qianwei said.

"It's hot, the prisoner's body can't be saved. I'm afraid I'll be returning to Beijing tomorrow. How about you? When are you going to leave?"

Su Junning frowned, then shook her head.

"I have to ask my mother what she means. I originally planned to stay here for a few more days before going back, but now that these things are happening, I don't know if I will stay or not."

When she said that, Shen Qianwei nodded and said in a deep voice.

"If you are willing, you can come with me, and we will go back to Beijing by water."

"That's much more convenient. Let's talk to my mother when I go back." Su Junning's eyes lit up.

It would be safer if he could walk with Shen Qianwei.

After talking for a while, Su Junning told Cui about it after returning home.

"Mother, what do you think? Let's go by ourselves, or go with the official boat tomorrow?"

Cui put down the teacup in her hand, and immediately said, "Let's go with the official boat."

After a pause, he added again.

"In case our mother and daughter make any mistakes on the road, both sides will be worried. I will send someone to tell your uncle and aunt later."

"That's what I mean too, then I'll go back and pack my luggage now." Su Junning said.

Out of the yard, back to his residence.

Passing by Su Wanyin's courtyard, Su Junning paused and went inside.

When he came in, he saw Su Wanyin writing.

"What did my sister write?"

Hearing her voice, Su Wanyin paused the pen in her hand, looked up to the door, saw that it was her, and smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm copying some Buddhist scriptures, and I'm going to burn them in the small Buddhist hall later."

Aunt Liu believes in Buddhism and has a small Buddhist hall in her home.

Su Junning chuckled, walked over and picked up the paper to read.

"Why did you suddenly think of copying this?"

"I still wish."

Su Wanyin put down her pen, and took the handkerchief from her maid Jinsui to wipe her hands.

"This time we encountered such a dangerous situation. My parents, my aunt, and I kowtowed in front of the Bodhisattva. Now that we have survived this calamity without any danger, we have to burn a few volumes of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures." , offering to Bodhisattvas is not."

Su Junning naturally understands religious beliefs, and from this she can see that the second uncle's family really care about her.

It made her a little embarrassed to say that she was going to leave.

But Su Wanyin saw that she came here because of something, so she took the initiative to ask.

While pulling someone to sit down on the couch by the window, he opened his mouth.

"Didn't you go out to find Lord Shen? Why did you come back so soon? I thought you were going to have dinner outside."

"It's convenient, he's still injured, and he's not finished with his official duties. The person who kidnapped us is a wanted criminal by the court." Su Junning picked up a snack.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyin's eyes widened in shock.

"Ah? A wanted criminal by the imperial court? No wonder my father refuses to talk to me. If this criminal is caught, why not return to Bianjing immediately to return to his life?"

Su Junning nodded, "Yes, I guess we will leave tomorrow, and we will also take the waterway. My mother and I discussed it. It's better to go back with him. It's safer to go with the official ship as a companion."

When I met water bandits when I came here, I was also scared to death.

When she talked about going back, Su Wanyin's complexion really collapsed quickly.

"Then you have to leave tomorrow? It's hard to come here, but I haven't stayed for a few days. I still want to take you out for a stroll and buy some delicious food."

"I miss you too."

As Su Junning said, she took Su Wanyin's arm and leaned forward, acting like a spoiled child.

The two sisters linked arms and leaned their heads together, both reluctant.

"I want to keep you, but it's safer to go with the official ship." Su Wanyin sighed, "After you leave, I don't know when we will meet again. When you were here before, the two of us How nice to play together."

Speaking of this, Su Junning's eyes suddenly lit up.

He sat up and said immediately.

"How about you follow me to Bianjing to live for a few months, you haven't been to Bianjing yet."

The second uncle came to Lin'an to be an official after he obtained his honor in the examination, and married an aunt who was also a local girl in Lin'an. Su Wanyin was born and raised in Lin'an, and she had never been to Bianjing.

As soon as she mentioned it like this, Su Wanyin's eyes lit up quickly.

Hold Su Junning's hand and laugh.

"This is a good idea. I always hear you say how prosperous Bianjing is, but I haven't seen it myself!"

"Then tell uncle and aunt about it." Su Junning pulled the man to stand up.

The two sisters went happily.

The daughter's family is not like a man's. It is not easy to travel far and often. It is a rare opportunity for her daughter to broaden her horizons and learn more. Su Hua and Liu's couple naturally agreed.

That night, the two sisters packed up and saluted together, looking forward to returning to Bianjing the next day.

The next morning, while having breakfast, Shen Qianwei sent someone to the mansion to deliver a message, saying that they would meet at the pier in an hour and set off.

After eating breakfast, Cui took the two sisters and set off.

Su Hua, Liu Shi, their son Su Yuren, and their daughter-in-law Lan Shi, the four of them also followed them to the pier, and they felt relieved after watching them board the boat.

But Shen Qianwei was not on the same boat as them. As the chief general, he naturally wanted to lead the battle on the official boat.

Just walking like this, starting in the morning, and mooring the boat to rest at night.

Su Junning was lying on the small bed, and she could still feel the waves rippling and the boat shaking slightly.

After all, the room here is smaller and there is no place for servants to stay. Nan Xu wrapped up the quilt and slept at the door to watch the night, and now she has fallen into a deep sleep.

Su Junning couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned, her mind was full of what happened during this period.

After lying down for a while, I couldn't fall asleep, so I simply got up.

He took a piece of clothing and put it on, and walked to the small window to watch the night scene outside.

After standing for less than a cup of tea, a black shadow suddenly jumped up on the deck, and then another dodged, and disappeared.

Su Junning's heart suddenly rang out.

Could it be another water bandit?
And just when she was about to turn around and call for someone, she suddenly heard slight footsteps on the small corridor outside the window, and leaning forward to take a closer look, a familiar face flashed in front of her eyes.

It was Shen Qianwei.

At this moment, Su Junning breathed a sigh of relief.
