Li Yun nodded. "He's been at the border for three years. He should come back for a visit this year."
Ming Lingyi leaned back in her chair. 'Hu Tuchao has been so quiet lately.' Although the Hidden Guards hadn't reported any more of the conversations between Hu Tuchao and Hu Yuwan, she still had a clear picture of his daily movements.
"No wonder Hu Tuchao and Hu Yuwan have been meeting more frequently," Ming Lingyi said. "Before, Hu Yuwan would just send her personal maid, but now she's going to see Hu Tuchao in person. Also, I heard the Hu family's businesses have been making frequent trips toward Shuo Bei. It seems Hu Tuchao has boarded the Qin Family's treacherous ship."
'He's probably too busy with his "legitimate business" to bother causing trouble for me anymore. After all, if that "legitimate business" of his really takes off, then wouldn't the shop on Vermilion Bird Street become the Hu family's just by his say-so?'
