"Mother, it is up to you whether or not you want to believe such unfounded gossip, but I am simply stating an objective fact. Whether or not there was an illicit affair is not something that can be decided solely by Wei Qingwan's account. I reminded mother that this matter seems suspicious, if you choose not to consider it, then it remains beyond my control." Wei Ruo said with a stern face.
"Even if something is amiss, so what? This is an edict from the Emperor. Could our Wei family actually defy it?" Yun Shi retorted to Wei Ruo.
Before Wei Ruo could respond, Yun Shi continued, "Do you think I am unaware of the risks involved? Do you think I am ignorant of the fact that it's inappropriate for the Wei family to get involved in the heir's succession disputes? I understand these ins and outs better than you!"
"Since mother knows everything, then I suppose there is nothing for me to say."
