Chapter 137: Returning To The Capital

Su Wen's gaze swept past everyone from the Martial Inspectorate before finally landing on Xue Wanjun.

He sat on his horse with a cold expression.

It was as if he was not the least bit curious about Lu Qingcai's death. He was only interested in discussing the arrangements with the assistant.

Su Changqing rubbed his glabella before walking out of the room. He looked at him and said angrily, "What are you shouting for?"

"I have something to ask you!"

Su Wen entered the room and the father and son sat down. Su Changqing casually asked
