Hearing that, Yuan Wenye felt heart-broken.
Master Yuan's words made sense. He was already exposed and couldn't get away with it, so it would be the best choice to let him carry the blame, so that Master Yuan and Yuan Wenyue would be safe. He was willing to do that, but it still hurt when Master Yuan said it.
Therefore, Yuan Wenye said nothing.
Yuan Wenyue wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say right now, so he remained silent too.
Although it was ruthless to let Yuan Wenye carry all the blame, they would all be dragged into trouble if they didn't do that. By then, the whole Yuan family would be in a serious crisis.
