Chapter 40 Going to the Imperial Capital



After registering, Su Jianwei found his seat and sat down.

Her seat was by the window, and next to her was a silver-haired old lady who was about seventy years old, with a gentle and elegant temperament; the seat by the aisle was a handsome man in his thirties, wearing a black suit.
