387. Profit or Propriety

Inside Wang Shujun's Mansion.

As soon as Wen Ranran walked away, the old housekeeper came to report.

"Master, King Qingyun is here!"

Wang Shujun calmed down and said, "Please come in quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice with a bit of chicness.

"Master, now that he has a junior sister, he won't remember me anymore!"

Wang Shujun laughed and looked at Xia Liyuan who came in, "Where are you talking!?"

Xia Liyuan smiled, his brows filled with pride and high spirits.

Thinking of Wen Ranran's shy look running away in a panic just now, she couldn't help but feel very good.

He sat down without hesitation and allowed the butler to fill himself with tea. Xia Liyuan paused with his fingers and placed a small celadon bottle on the table.

"This is a nourishing elixir refined by Taoist Xuanzhen. It is good for Master's health."

Wang Shujun smiled and said, "It's hard for you to have such intentions!"

While talking, I remembered what Wen Ranran said just now.

"Do you know about Feng Cheng?"

Xia Liyuan was stunned and nodded.

"The prince can no longer hold back... As long as Feng Cheng falls, Lao Qi will probably suffer a big loss this time!"

Wang Shujun frowned slightly, "What do you think?"

Xia Liyuan shook his fan and didn't care.

"Feng Cheng is just a reckless general who is illiterate. If you sacrifice one Feng Cheng, you can get evidence of the prince's rebellion, that's not bad."

Wang Shujun frowned.

"I plan to report to His Majesty to protect Fengcheng!"

Xia Liyuan's hand suddenly stopped shaking the fan.

Wang Shujun continued, "Feng Cheng and I have been friends for a long time! This guy is a general and is naturally upright. There is no way he can embezzle military pay!"

Xia Liyuan stopped talking.

The two were silent for a long time, and Xia Liyuan still disagreed with Wang Shujun's suggestion.

"Master, there is no need to protect Fengcheng. He has offended many people in the court. The evidence for this matter is unclear. I'm afraid it will be difficult to overturn the case!"

Wang Shujun frowned and looked at Xia Liyuan. For some reason, he felt for the first time that the Wen Ranran just now was closer to him than the Xia Liyuan he had taught since childhood.

"Does the prince still remember the etiquette and righteousness I taught him since childhood?"

Xia Liyuan was stunned and said nothing.

"Brotherhood is worth a thousand pieces of gold. How could I just watch my loyal ministers be wronged and my good generals be humiliated?!"

"However, Master's polite friendship will not help us achieve great things!"

Xia Liyuan frowned, his usually lazy brows showing a bit of strength.

"In today's situation, there are bound to be choices. Commander Wang, please think twice!"

Wang Shujun's face darkened and he looked at Xia Liyuan in front of him, feeling a little strange for the first time.

The words "Wang Commander" pierced Wang Shujun's heart.

Xia Liyuan was also a little angry.

I heard from the mother-in-law that the queen recently intended to appoint Ran Ran to Xia Lishuang as the royal concubine. If she didn't take action...

If Feng Cheng's drinking with Xia Lishuang before the incident could be used to suppress Xia Lishuang, it would be beneficial to them.

Why doesn’t Master even understand this level?

Wang Shujun looked stubborn, Xia Liyuan's eyes darkened, and he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

"I hope Commander Wang will be careful! I'll come see you another day!"

Wang Shujun stared at Xia Liyuan's back, feeling suddenly heartbroken.

This...is this really the good disciple he taught?

There is no distinction between right and wrong, loyalty and treachery. In this case, do you actually help the evildoer?

Wang Shujun was furious. He looked at the nourishing pill left by Xia Liyuan and threw it out without saying a word.

When the celadon bottle shattered, the pills rolled all over the floor.

Wang Shujun's heart sank to the bottom.

However, Wang Shujun knew clearly in his heart that if the person standing in front of him was Wen Ranran, he could beat or scold him, just because Wen Ranran was just his apprentice.

To him, Xia Liyuan was not only a master and disciple, but also a master and servant.

Do you...do you really want to support such a person to rise to power?
