"Yes, Master, I will go with you then. It has been five hundred years since I last went to the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. There happen to be some old friends there, and this time we can just meet them..."

When Hua Yueying talked about that old friend, her eyes were different, even with a bit of joy. This made Zhang Fan a little curious. Who was this old friend of Hua Yueying from the Western Liang Women's Kingdom?

"Okay, let me first check whether Chen Guangrui has arrived. I have a feeling that something bad will happen to him in the next day or two..."

After Zhang Fan said this, he stood up and went to the huge wall of Tiandi Pawnshop.

Then he wrote the three big characters "Chen Guangrui" with a brush.

After the three words fell on the wall, they quickly disappeared. Then, it was as if ripples were spreading on the wall, and the original wall turned into another scene.

I saw Chen Guangrui discussing with his wife that since his wife was pregnant, he would bring more servants with him this time, and also brought two servants and guards who knew martial arts.

Plus one is the housekeeper of a retired veteran on the battlefield.

Originally, Chen Guangrui had no plan to take these people with him, because his father-in-law was Prime Minister Yin, and he was born in poverty and always wanted to take up the office, so he must have a group of yamen runners and servants in the local area.

And that was his hometown, and he could recruit some servants there to be his family and maids, which was better than bringing some servants from thousands of miles away from his father-in-law's place.

After all, these servants have followed his father-in-law for many years. Asking them to leave their hometown and follow him to take up the new post always makes people feel a little bit like separation from their family. However, since Chen Guangrui had that dream.

He did not refuse his wife's suggestion and his father-in-law's kindness. For his wife's safety on the road, he even asked his father-in-law to send more people to serve his wife.

After all, the wife is a double-bodied person.

Chen Guangrui's thoughtfulness made his father-in-law overjoyed, and he generously gave the housekeeper's family to Chen Guangrui. The housekeeper's surname was Shen. His son accompanied him as a guard, and his wife served the pregnant Miss Yin. The whole family happily followed the son-in-law and the daughter-in-law to take up the post.

There was also a little maidservant, another guard, and one of Chen Guangrui's servants accompanying him, making a total of eight people in the group, who took three carriages to take up their posts.

On the way to take office, because they had to travel by boat, Butler Shen chartered a boat. Chen Guangrui didn't pay attention to these things. He just accompanied his wife and read some books to learn about the humanities and geography of Jiangzhou where he was going to take office.

But one day, a boatman presented a very beautiful and plump grass carp. Miss Yin was very happy to eat it and mentioned it to Chen Guangrui. Chen Guangrui then called the boatman to reward her.

But he saw two boatmen kneeling on the ground, one was tall, older, about forty years old, and the other was younger, about twenty years old. The young man in his twenties had fair skin. At first glance, Chen Guangrui even had some illusion.

That's the person in front of me. Why does he look somewhat similar to me?

"Thank you for the fish, both boatmen. This is just a small gift. I hope you will accept it. If there is a fresh big fish next time, I can give it to Madam to try..."

Considering that his wife had a poor appetite due to pregnancy, Chen Guangrui generously rewarded the two boatmen with one or two taels of silver.

The two boatmen saw a fish and exchanged it for one or two taels of silver. They were overjoyed.

I just feel that this official is really generous. The reward he gave them was enough to pay for their long-term hardship on the water. Officials are really rich. It's really enviable.

"I, Liu Hong, thank you for your reward, sir!"

The young boatman was more agile. He rolled his eyes and kowtowed to Chen Guangrui to express his gratitude.

At this time, Miss Yin came to see Chen Guangrui with a bowl of Tremella soup in her hand. When the boatman Liu Hong was about to leave, he secretly glanced at Miss Yin.

It was like being struck by lightning, and he was stunned for a moment. This Miss Yin was so beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.

Normally Miss Yin rarely shows up on the boat, and it was the first time that boatman Liu Hong saw her. Looking at the gentle and beautiful Miss Yin serving Chen Guangrui soup, Liu Hong was so envious that he was going crazy with jealousy.

It felt like a thousand ants were crawling in my heart. My life should be like this great official, with a lovely wife by his side, countless silver, and he was about to take office as a high official...

How nice it would be if all of this were mine!

An evil thought flashed through Liu Hong's mind. Even though he had already started sailing, the thought became stronger and stronger. He even felt that as long as he seized the opportunity, he might be able to replace him!

After all, Chen Guangrui took office with only paperwork, no one had ever seen him, and he and I were somewhat similar. If...

"Liu Hong? This name sounds familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere. Was it in a dream? It's really strange..."

Chen Guangrui was muttering to himself in his heart, so much so that he was absent-minded when Miss Yin talked to him.

Suddenly he seemed to remember something?

In that dream, he went to the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth, where a god once told him that he would be harmed by Liu Hong, pushed into the lake and drowned, and his wife would be taken away by others, and even his child would recognize the thief as his father?

Chen Guangrui shuddered at the thought of this.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Miss Yin, sensing that Chen Guangrui was abnormal, asked with concern.

"It's okay. If you're okay, don't be alone by the boat. Be careful!"

Chen Guangrui couldn't help but remind Miss Yin, and the two of them became very careful, but the waterway was too long. Although they were careful for a few days, on this day, the night of August 15th.

Miss Yin insisted on worshiping the moon on the boat, saying that she had made a wish on August 15th last year, hoping to find an ideal husband. This year her wish came true, so she must worship the moon again.

It was already midnight when they worshipped the moon, and for the sake of sincerity, there could not be too many servants present, so Miss Yin insisted that Chen Guangrui accompany her to worship and appreciate the moon.

Looking at the full moon in the sky and thinking about his wife who had been locked up in the cabin and looking unhappy for the past few days, Chen Guangrui felt sorry for his wife.

This time he was staying with his wife, and the two of them were looking at the moon in the sky and whispering to each other.

Butler Shen was old and tired, so he went to bed early. The two guards drank some of the wine sent by Liu Hong and were also groggy. As for the maid and the book boy, for some unknown reason, they went to bed early like pigs!

Only Chen Guangrui, who was standing by the boat, was talking with his wife about what name to give their future child!

Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Chen Guangrui was wondering, and just as he was about to turn his head to look, he felt someone push him hard, and he fell into the lake.
