Xiao Jinghong's letter didn't mention the recent major events in Shu State.
Either the news was delayed and she hadn't yet heard about Lv Jiunan's death and King Landu of Poshisu Country's impending arrival.
Or she was intentionally omitting them to avoid worrying the family back home.
As Chen Yi speculated, a gentle smile touched his face.
Even without her saying so, he knew what her days were like at the Wu Mountain Mutual Market.
Allocating lumber and stone, finishing construction on various buildings, assigning manpower, contacting nearby merchants who wanted to trade at the mutual market, and so on.
And on top of all that, there were the military affairs of the Three Towns.
Xiao Jinghong was anything but idle.
'She's working so hard. I really should apply myself more.'
Just as the thought crossed his mind, Chen Yi heard Xiao Wan'er speak.
"Brother-in-law, you've been out every day lately. I haven't had a chance to ask how you're preparing for your studies."
