Since You’re So Eager to Walk to Your Death’s Door, I’ll Watch from the Side (2)

Wei Xiao Hua put on an astonished face. "I'm glad that nothing happened to you, Father."

Wei Hong smiled. "Of course not. However, my brother is involved in a corruption case. Tomorrow, he'll be executed along with other officials."

"Uncle Wei Lu?" Wei Xiao Hua asked in astonishment.

"Yes. He's too greedy and begin to make his move too early. There's a report about him from other officials, so he can't get out," Wei Hong replied. Recalling the scene in the palace, he felt glad that he was able to get out before the situation turned worse. If he stayed there any longer, he believed that he would never be able to get out safely.

He was thoroughly glad that he was not close with his younger brother or it would be messy.

"Executed?" Wei Xiao Hua asked again.

Wei Hong nodded. "Yes. His Majesty is decisive and ruthless in his decision, so he will not let anyone stay alive this time."
