To pacify the elderly, weak women, and children, King Huan Residence originally could not come forward. Due to the close relationship with King Huan Residence, it was feared that the Duke of Qi Residence would be manipulated for ulterior motives if it intervened.
The situation might very well backfire.
Relatively speaking, although Shen Cong, Viscount Xishan had a decent relationship with Wei Shu of King Huan, it was far from intimate.
After all, there was Su Luo between them, and both men felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.
Moreover, since Shen Cong came from a common background, he was more likely to win the favor of these women and children.
As Shen Cong prepared to leave, Bai Lu grabbed hold of him, "My lord, are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"
Bai Lu left some words unsaid.
Su Luo was already dead, and your friendship with Su Luo had ended. If you helped King Huan now, you might very well invite trouble upon yourself.
