Madam Wei sighed, then turned to her two sons, "Don't go blaming others. You chose this path, and you can't complain about the consequences."
"Mother..."
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong were indignant, but didn't dare to argue with their mother.
"What you need to consider now is what you're going to do next, not who to blame," Madam Wei said. "Pointing fingers doesn't help the situation."
The brothers remained silent.
After a while, Wei Mingyong reluctantly spoke, "I came to father and mother for advice because I don't know what to do. Being such a minor player, the Emperor's investigation shouldn't reach me, right?"
Wei Minghong added, "Yes, I've already been dismissed. Other than being the Heir Apparent to the Duke, I have no other official position."
Madam Wei said, "How can I possibly know? If trouble comes, you can't escape it. All you can do now is wait. If you survive unscathed, good; if not, there's nothing you can do."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale.
