Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It will suffice for you to return the money to your relatives without disclosing the reasons for giving them the money. You may even state that you are giving them a gift.
And Allah knows best
Wassalam
