The water was calm and peaceful. Two old men were playing chess against each other on the boat, looking relaxed. However, Wei Bingyan was not as relaxed as them. She just leaned against the window, looking at the rippling river water.

Bai Binghui and Anxiang were beside her, wanting to say a few words to comfort her but not knowing how. They had said everything they needed to say, but the young mistress seemed not to hear a word.

Aunt Yin came in from outside, holding a bowl of soup in her hand.

"Madam, have some soup. You haven't eaten much in the past few days." Aunt Yin advised with shame in her eyes.

"Leave it there." Wei Bingyan said calmly.

Aunt Yin sighed, "Young Madam, please don't torture yourself like that. It makes me feel bad when I see you like that."

Wei Bingyan said, "Don't say that, Aunt Yin. If it weren't for the young master, how could you dare to give me that medicine? I don't blame you, I just don't have much appetite."

"I just wanted you to complain to me. If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't be so angry." Aunt Yin said.

Wei Bingyan smiled and said, "That's not what I'm angry about. Okay, bring the soup over."

"Madam, if you follow the old master out like that, the young master will be very anxious. Should we..." Bai Binghui whispered softly.

"Let him be anxious." Wei Bingyan snorted. She should let him know how it feels to not explain anything clearly and make the other person anxious. She knew that he felt sorry for her, but he never thought about her feelings.

Bai Binghui glanced at Aunt Yin and sighed.

From the winding Yujiang River into the inland ocean, the sturdy ship sailed through the wind and waves for a long time before finally arriving at Xiangmu Island.

Even though Wei Bingyan was feeling depressed at the moment, she couldn't help but feel excited when she saw the tranquil island scenery.

The endless blue sky, the green island surrounded by green mountains and clear water, the boundless sea, the white waves... It was like a beautiful picture scroll that slowly unfolded around them. Wei Bingyan and the others grew up in the south and had never seen such ocean scenery. They couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The fishermen are not out today, so it's quite quiet." Old Master Fu said with a smile. After they got off the boat, two or three men dressed as fishermen came to greet them.

I'm here to pick up Old Master Fu.

"Let's go. My house is over there. It's just a few steps away." After signaling the fishermen to help carry the bags, Old Master Fu took Wei Bingyan and the others onto the long sandy beach.

The ocean water is very clear, the endless beach and the tiny grains of sand are like exquisite jewels... This is truly a treasure place to spend the rest of your life.

Old Master Wei and Old Master Fu were walking together, discussing whether they should go fishing at the beach the next day...

The only residence on the island is the small courtyard where Grandpa Fu spent his old age. It is a two-story house. The fishermen on the island live a simple life and live in fishing houses. There is a courtyard in front of the house where they graze horses and dry fishing nets.

Wei Bingyan and the others walked up along the lush, gently sloping beach. They saw many fishermen drying their fine fishing nets. There were also clean shops on the main street of the island, which made it look like a small town.

Looking from a distance, the fisherman's house has long and thin walls with neat gaps and a large scale, giving people a solid and warm feeling.

"Grandpa!" Not long after I stepped onto the beach, I saw a young man running hurriedly towards me. The burly man came over under the scorching sun.

Wei Bingyan stood upright under the umbrella held by Bai Binghui, and looked at the person who came with her eyes slightly closed.

"Grandpa, you are finally back?" The man walked up to Old Master Fu and spoke intently with a frown on his face.

It was obvious that this guy was Old Master Fu's grandson. Wei Bingyan saw that he looked hurried and had a distracted look in his eyes, and thought that he was looking for Old Master Fu urgently.

Old Master Fu probably didn't expect to see his grandson on the island. He looked at him strangely, "Why are you here?"

The young man glanced at Old Master Wei and the others, then looked at Old Master Fu hesitantly, as if he had something very important to say.

"Go back and tell us." Old Master Fu said, and after taking two steps, he said to the young man, "This is your great-grandfather Wei. He was the one who gave you your name."

Old Master Wei smiled and said, "Is this Youqi?"

Fu Youqi's eyes suddenly brightened up, and his young and handsome face could hardly hide his surprise, "Is... is it General Wei?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to Old Master Wei.

When he was young, Old Master Wei once led the army to fight with the late emperor, and was later made a general. However, ever since the Wei family has been quiet in the past few years, many people have gradually forgotten about Old Master Wei, the cruel and powerful man before that.

However, Fu Youqi has never forgotten. Since he was a child, he has heard Old Master Fu tell many rumors about Old Master Wei, and he admires Old Master Wei very much.

"Get up, get up." Old Master Wei pulled Fu Youqi's arm and pulled him up. "You're still called the old general. You're no longer useful."

Fu Youqi looked at Old Master Wei with excitement, "The old general is still strong despite his age. Even though he has returned home in glory, his heroic demeanor in the strong field at that time still makes us admire him very much."

Old Master Wei laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He patted Fu Youqi on the shoulder and said, "I heard from others that you are already a light vehicle admiral? Not bad, you are young and strong."

Receiving praise from the elder he had always admired, Fu Youqi pretended to be calm and steady, but his joy could not be concealed on his face.

Old Master Fu twirled his beard and smiled faintly, indicating that Fu Youqi should continue to consult Old Master Wei sincerely after returning home.

Wei Bingyan followed closely behind Old Master Wei with her head lowered and listened attentively. Although she was puzzled by Fu Youqi, she just glanced at him indifferently. She felt that this young man was full of masculinity, sincerity and passion.

At this time, Fu Youqi turned around and looked at Wei Bingyan, with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

After returning to the Fu family's small courtyard, Old Master Wei asked Wei Bingyan to rest first, while he went to the study with Old Master Fu's grandson.

Fu Youqi, as the admiral of light vehicles, was not in the military camp at this time. He certainly did not come to Xiangmu Island for leisure and vacation. As expected, Fu Youqi's face became heavy as soon as he entered the study.

"Grandpa, over the past year, I have been ordered to secretly investigate the robbery of government silver more than 30 years ago. Not long ago, I finally made some progress," said Fu Youqi.

When Old Master Wei heard this, his originally relaxed expression changed. "Do you have any clues about the government silver that was stolen by Japanese pirates in the inland ocean thirty-five years ago?"
