Gu Zikai didn't expect that Master Yi would be so open about it. Indeed, isn't the old man's face rather thick?
But even if he complained inwardly, gossip must still be heard and shared; otherwise, how could he obtain firsthand news to clarify his own innocence and stance in front of his cousin?
Gu Zikai's mind was clear; his position had always been firm, that is, to stand by his cousin's side.
At this moment, there was no one around. Since Master Yi knew that Lady Dingguo was aware, and seemed somewhat displeased, he naturally had to use Gu Zikai to express his own feelings.
He spoke frankly: "You should know, ever since I returned to the Capital City to serve my parents, I've retired. I originally planned to lead a leisurely life in the Capital City, to enjoy grandchildren's company in the future, and live as a wealthy idler. If bored, maybe open a study hall and take in a couple of young children for enlightenment, which is also fulfilling."
