If you're talking about the movie, it isn't until several minutes AFTER all this that Kay comes to the realization that Michael did indeed order Carlo's murder. And even though she does, she has been told by now (twice that we know of) to NOT ask Michael about 'the business'. By the time of the Senate Hearings years later it can be assumed that whatever she's surmized on her own and kept to herself...she has dutifully honored Michael's wishes.
It's probably also safe to assume that she's tried her best to shield her children, especially Anthony...from the business of their father. One of the several reasons for her eventually deciding to leave him may be a concern for Anthony coming to an age where he's naturally going to be exposed more to the Family Business.
You appear to be mixing up timeframes simply in order to keep this discussion going.
