With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 53 Distance Produces Beauty

After returning to the Cangyu Pavilion, Nan Xu waited for Su Junning to wash and lie down, and asked worriedly.

"Miss, you said that the second miss is watching Qingming outside, why does she always get next to Mrs. Gao, as if she has been fascinated by her mind."

"You've said that many times."

Su Junning wiped her face with rose dew and embellishing jade ointment, and said.

"People in the world are always prejudiced against their stepmothers. No matter how good they are, they can be easily wiped out. The sentence of no blood relationship seems to turn those good things into profit goals. Little Lu has been doing it for many years. Instill this idea in her, and she will naturally have a deep prejudice against my mother and me."

One is an aunt who is related to him by blood. He has never met his own mother. This aunt is a half-mother, so she is naturally closer than the strange stepmother.

Moreover, the little Lu family did personally bring Su Yuzhen and Su Zhiyi from birth to almost three years old. Later, after leaving Su's residence to marry, they were still in Bianjing at first, and often came to Su's residence until Su Zhiyi was almost ten years old. Only at the age of [-] did he go to other places with his husband.

After so many years of indoctrination and brainwashing, no matter how intelligent people are, they will be affected.

There is a saying that distance produces beauty.

During Su Zhiyi's rebellious period, Cui's stepmother was often seen by her side. Occasionally, there were one or two things that she didn't do as she wanted, so naturally there was more estrangement.

And little Lu Shi is far away, and there are only sweet words in the letters, which makes her aunt even better.

Hearing Su Junning's words, Nan Xu also sighed and shook his head.

I thought that the second young lady should be careful, that little Lu is really not a good person.

But after thinking about it, Xiao Lu has returned to Beijing, and after getting in touch with him a lot, maybe the second lady will gradually discover Xiao Lu's true face.

Master and servant are the same.

Su Junning also thought the same way, but if Su Zhiyi really regarded Xiao Lu as her aunt and aunt she could rely on and trust, then she would suffer a loss in the future, and she should suffer the blame herself.

After skin care, Su Xiaosi touched his smooth face and rolled onto the couch in satisfaction.

She still remembered that she was going to invite Shen Qianwei to dinner at Yipinju the next day, and she didn't know what interesting things would happen then.

Aside from the cultivation of manners, Shen Qianwei is quite fun to get along with.

At a young age, he had the rough air of a military camp, yet he could blush.

Tsk tsk, isn't it quite innocent?
Thinking of this, Su Junning couldn't help smiling, and rolled around on the bed again, before falling asleep with the soft pillow embroidered with Su.

What she didn't know was that she was sleeping happily on the soft couch in the boudoir, but at this moment Shen Qianwei, together with a dozen officers and soldiers, was ambushing in secret and staring at a black powder workshop, preparing to arrest the people inside.

"My lord, my subordinates have seen clearly that there are only eight people inside, five are from the workshop, and three are here to buy gunpowder. They are the ones we followed."

A slender and thin officer came back to report after investigation.

Shen Qianwei clenched the saber at his waist, nodded, and signaled him to return to the team first.

"Boss, how do we do it?" Zheng Han asked in a low voice beside him.

In this matter, as long as the criminal is caught, it is another meritorious service.

"Don't act rashly, we only have knives in our hands, and they inevitably have firearms, which are too lethal." Shen Qianwei's eyes were sharp and gloomy, and after a little thought, he said, "You send someone back to the infantry office to report, please People come to support, I'm afraid that if there is a fight, they still have people in the dark, so they can't let the brothers die in vain."

Zheng Han nodded, moved his position silently, found a reliable person at the back, and let him go back.

Speaking of which, it was Shen Qianwei's keen intuition that he was able to discover the clues today.

Today happened to be their night patrol, and they found three people dressed very low-key, walking on the street with their heads buried. After seeing the officers and soldiers, they seemed a little nervous.

After Shen Qianwei stepped forward to inquire, the other party said that it was a fast-moving peddler, there was something wrong with the goods, and they had just gone to check and went back to the inn.

After questioning, Shen Qianwei let him go, but when he left, he immediately ordered his subordinates to follow.

It turned out that he had just smelled the smell of gunpowder on those people.

Nowadays, gunpowder is something that is controlled by the state. It is mainly used for making ammunition and fireworks, but without exception, it is controlled by the government.

Those people claimed to be businessmen on horseback, but they smelled of gunpowder, which made Shen Qianwei suspect that they were smuggling gunpowder.

According to the laws of Beidi, smuggling gunpowder is a felony for the imperial court. Naturally, Shen Qianwei couldn't ignore such a thing.

So he quietly followed those three people all the way, and unexpectedly found this black workshop for making gunpowder in a deserted house on the outskirts of the city.

What these people do is lick blood with the tip of a knife, and they are all desperadoes. Once they startle the snake, they will run away without a trace, so they must be caught on the spot.

After Zheng Han came back, he happened to see the three people who came to buy gunpowder coming out of the workshop, but they were still empty-handed, which was strange.

"The business has not been negotiated?" Zheng Han lowered his voice, "Boss, let them go?"

Shen Qianwei's long and narrow eyes showed a bit of chill, and he grasped the handle of the knife.

"Take four or five brothers and follow those people quietly to see where they are going. There may be big fish behind them."

Zheng Han nodded, immediately counted a few people, and went to follow the three people.

And Shen Qianwei continued to lie in ambush, ready to wait for the support from the infantry yamen to arrive before making a move.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after, a black-covered carriage drove into the small yard of the workshop, and immediately after, the coachman and the thin man who jumped out of the carriage dragged two little girls from the carriage.

"Boss, I picked up something good today, and I specially sent it to the boss to relieve his boredom!"

the man shouted.

Then I saw the people in the room come out, the leading man was tall and strong, he was tall and thick, he had a beard, and there were several deep or shallow scars on his face.

"Yo, where did you get it?" The man seemed very satisfied, and he laughed loudly, "Business is busy these days, and I'm worried that I won't have time to go out to the brothel, but you are sensible, so you brought it to me."

"To you, brother, I naturally think about it all the time. I met these people in the suburbs. They seem to be picking herbs to sell for money. I will bring them back to serve my brother. I don't need them to work hard anymore. no."

The thin man flattered him.

Then I saw the burly man with the beard walking towards the two shivering girls huddled together.

After a few glances, he grabbed the one on the left and put it on his shoulder.

"I want her. I will reward you for the rest. Play lightly, don't kill people, and save my life for us to wash and cook. We just need a maid."

After speaking, he laughed and was about to enter the house, and the men behind him also quickly surrounded another girl.

The two girls were so frightened that they cried out for help and struggled desperately, but it was of no avail.

How could Shen Qianwei bear it, she took out two iron marbles from her purse and shot them out as hidden weapons.

The person who was hit immediately looked up and looked around in shock.

"Who, who is hiding in the dark and attacking me!"
