The Fong Family scandal had become too huge to simply foist the blame on a few scapegoats to pacify the public. Therefore, the ones who could take responsibility would have to be from the Fong Family themselves. Among these people, it was certain that someone related by blood to Fong Laiyi would be included.
In Fong Laiyi's generation, there were only Fong Laiyi and a cousin, Fong Wanling, who had long been married off to the Chang Wealthy Family. It was impossible for Fong Laiyi to make Fong Wanling take the fall.
That left only Fong Laiyi's father's generation and her son, Fong Yixiu, as those who could bear the blame.
Fong Yixiu was out of the question for Fong Laiyi, not even worth considering, which only left her true eldest son Fong Yiping and second son Fong Yiqii.
