Gu Changqing was able to redeem his daughter and place her on the estate because of a woman, and it didn't affect any major affairs.
However, Master Yi was different, there was possibly something between him and the Second Prince, and who could predict what would happen then?
At that time, Gu Changqing wouldn't be able to take action either.
Moreover, if the situation arose and Gu Zikai dismissed Master Yi, it would make Gu Zikai appear heartless. But now it's Master Yi who is resigning voluntarily, which makes it unrelated to Gu Zikai.
As long as Gu Zikai handles things beautifully in the end, providing Master Yi with ample travel expenses and various gifts, it would achieve a good reputation and also resolve the crisis around Gu Zikai—why not?
Gu Zikai also thought of this, so he promptly agreed.
Master Yi couldn't fathom this at the moment, but once he figured it out, it would be too late to regret.
The Gu Family has done everything they could, beyond reproach.
