I was going to save that for Shai's Mangekyō Application, but I can explain here. Even though the father was a high ranking advisor in the village, they in fact did find out about them being Uchiha. The father was ordered to give up the Sharingan when the whole family had awakened it. The father took them in hopes of keeping in good terms with the Head Ninja, since he would ruin his clan's name. He didn't discover the fact that his son Shai had the Sharingan, until one day he saw the two training. He secretly contacted the Head Ninja, and planned to take both of them out to save his own life. The father cared more about his Clan and status even though he loved his family dearly.
