Gu Kaiyuan didn't know about these events after his departure, and even if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He didn't return directly to the Third Branch's courtyard.

"Third Young Master, where are we going?" Lin Hua asked as soon as Gu Kaiyuan got into the carriage.
"To the bookstore first," Gu Kaiyuan instructed. He sat back in the carriage and rested his eyes.
