Li Yun's expression remained impassive. "Shuo Bei?"
The Hidden Guard said, "I heard Hu Erniang say that she recently received a letter. It claimed that as long as the eldest son of the Hu family is willing to pay the silver, their family will no longer be a mere merchant family in the Capital City, but can ascend into the ranks of the elite."
Even at home, Hu Yuwan and Hu Tuchao hadn't spoken too openly, but the meaning revealed in their fragmented conversations was quite thought-provoking.
The Hidden Guard also realized that the matter Her Highness had sent him to investigate was not as simple as it seemed.
Ming Lingyi, who was sitting to the side, was also visibly stunned after hearing the Hidden Guard's report.
'What power could the Qin Family possibly have to elevate the Hu family from merchants to elites just for a bit of silver?'
Ming Lingyi didn't dare to dwell on it.
