Gu Kaiyuan received the letter from the capital and tossed it straight to the side. He was happy to hear that Rong Ruiyuan was living miserably. It seemed that without the Gu Family's support, he was nothing at all.
In this life, he had ruined his own chess pieces. It wouldn't be so easy for him to gather people's loyalty again.
Now, he could just sit back and watch the royal family fight amongst themselves. After all, the royal court would remain in this state for many years to come, so there was no need to pay much attention to it anymore.
The Gu Family was already on the fringes. No matter which prince ascended the throne in the future, they would not remember small fry like them.
In a cheerful mood, Gu Kaiyuan prepared to go see his wife and brother-in-law beachcombing.
Today happened to coincide with a massive low tide, and anyone with free time had gathered at the seaside. In his wife's words, it would be a crime against heaven to turn down free things.
