"County Magistrate, where have you been?"

Li Yuanlang was very surprised and asked Chang Ming, "Are you also in the provincial capital? At your father-in-law's house?"

"No, I'm in the capital..." Chang Ming seemed puzzled, "You didn't come to the capital?"

"Why am I going to the capital? I'm in Yunyang. I just had some drinks with Ni Yizheng and are walking home."

"Oh, that's it." As Chang Ming spoke, he said that Ye Wenqi had called him and hung up in a hurry.

Li Yuanlang was wondering, what did Chang Ming's meaningless words mean?

Under the influence of alcohol, Li Yuanlang did not think deeply, stepped up his pace, and walked into the house twenty minutes later.

It was just in time for dinner, and still only Gu Hongyan, Shui Tingyue and her mother were eating.

By the end of the year, Shui Qingzhang was so busy that skipping home for dinner became a common occurrence.

"Why do you smell like alcohol?" When his wife was getting him clothes, she smelled Li Yuanlang's alcoholic odor, so she squealed, covered her mouth and hurried into the bathroom.

Gu Hongyan was so angry that he put down his chopsticks, glared at Li Yuanlang, and followed him to help his daughter.

When Shui Tingyue vomited, Gu Hongyan scolded Li Yuanlang with a cold face, "It's not your first time to be a father. Xiaoyue is pregnant and needs companionship the most. You said you would come back with great difficulty, but you won't go

Look at your son, instead of staying with your wife, he went out to drink. Li Yuanlang, I find that you are getting more and more outrageous. Don’t think that a small-time county magistrate is such an official. In our Gu family, the main hall

The deputy director is considered a child, let alone you."

These words are not only harsh but also heartbreaking.

Since Gu Hongyan was his mother-in-law, and his wife and children had been living in his natal family for a long time, Li Yuanlang felt inferior to others. His face turned red and he was holding his breath. He gritted his molar teeth and did not refute.

Indeed, no matter how busy you are, you should first see your wife and son when you come back, and say hello. He ignored it, and he knew he was in the wrong.

"Mom, why are you talking about Yuen Long like that? He is busy at work and drinks to socialize. Don't blame him."

After all, Li Yuanlang is Shui Tingyue's husband. Talking about Li Yuanlang makes Shui Tingyue uncomfortable.

"Okay, I won't say it anymore. I'll keep the unpleasant words. If Li Yuanlang does something excessive again, I won't be merciful."

After Gu Hongyan finished nagging about this matter, he suggested that in view of Shui Tingyue's physical condition, Li Yuanlang and his wife should sleep in separate rooms.

He also said: "Anyway, there are plenty of empty rooms at home. You can live in the one next to Xiaoyue's father, so as not to get drunk and get excited and hurt the child in Xiaoyue's belly. Guyu was born prematurely and has always been weak.

, I don’t want my second grandson to have any more accidents.”

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Shui Tingyue raised her eyebrows and became angry.

"Bah, bah, bah! It's my fault for talking nonsense, I take it back." After hearing this, Gu Hongyan quickly blew out a few symbolic breaths of air on the ground.

Li Yuanlang frowned and his face was as dark as water. He really couldn't stand Gu Hongyan's behavior, but he couldn't get angry.

After all, he is also an elder, not to mention that there is no reason to talk to an unreasonable person like Gu Hongyan.

Without saying a word, he walked up the stairs angrily and went to see his son first.

"He's not happy even after saying a few words. Who are you showing off your face to?" Gu Hongyan looked at Li Yuanlang's back and continued to mutter, "Drinking is a credit to the family. How many times has he taken care of this family? How much effort has he made?

It’s not all supported by me and your dad.”

"Mom, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are. Don't look for trouble." Shui Tingyue was very angry and gave her mother two white eyes. After that, she went upstairs to chase Li Yuanlang.

Gu Hongyan was so angry that he stopped eating and just sat on the chair sulking.

It's really the water thrown away by the married daughter. She doesn't have the same heart as her at the critical moment, so she loves her in vain.

No matter how good Li Yuanlang is, without our Gu family, he is nothing.

Not mentioning what Gu Hongyan was thinking, Shui Tingyue walked into the baby room and saw Li Yuanlang playing with little Guyu. She walked over quietly, supported him and said gently: "Husband, don't be like my mother. She is like that."

Son."

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly, "Honey, what your mother said is not entirely wrong. At least I owe you and your son."

He refrained from saying the rest of the sentence. He was born into an ordinary family, and even if he became famous in the future, I believe that Gu Hongyan would still look down upon him due to the aura of his high-ranking family.

"If you want to pursue an official career, naturally you can't take care of both. You will get something if you give up. If you have something, you should do a good job. Guyu, I, and this little guy will be counting on you in the future."

Li Yuanlang watched his wife touching her slightly bulging belly, and couldn't help but touch it too, and asked softly: "How are you doing, little one?"

"It's only that small, and it's still fully formed." Shui Tingyue gestured with her thumb and index finger, "It's only about ten centimeters, so it's early."

"Yes, it's early." Li Yuanlang said sadly, feeling a lot.

And asked: "Your second uncle hasn't had any more ideas for him lately, has he?"

Shui Tingyue hesitated for a moment and shook her head in denial, "No, it's just that my uncle called and asked us all to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year. He also said that this year is the first Spring Festival after the death of grandpa, and the family gathering together is what the old man wanted most during his lifetime.

Seen.”

A family?

Li Yuanlang thought to himself, does the Gu family regard me as a family member?

So he said: "Forget it, you are inconvenient, Xiao Guyu is not in good health, and the journey is long, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Let's stay in the provincial capital and go to my dad's place to celebrate the New Year with his old man."

Shui Tingyue was very confused, "My uncle said that no one is allowed to be absent. My parents have already agreed..."

"It's your uncle again." Speaking of Gu Zhengchuan, Li Yuanlang couldn't help but think of Gu Chuang's backache.

Although he was not harmed in the end, it became an entry point to open a gap and eliminate Lei Zhen's group.

But Li Yuanlang was still worried about this matter after all.

What he was thinking was that if Gu Chuang harmed him regardless of family ties, the first time would lead to a second and third time.

If he wasn't worried about his wife, Li Yuanlang would definitely go to Gu Chuang to settle the score.

Moreover, he also believed that if Gu Chuang did this, if Gu Zhengchuan didn't know, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

The main reason why he didn't agree to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year with the Gu family was Gu Zhengchuan and his son. He didn't want to see them.

From beginning to end, Li Yuanlang did not tell anyone about this matter, including his wife and his father-in-law and his mother-in-law's family.

What would happen if she told her? With Gu Hongyan's temper, in her eyes, her parents' family was much better than her uncle, who she looked down upon.

Li Yuanlang will solve it in his own way. In short, this matter is not over yet.

Shui Tingyue hesitated, but Li Yuanlang didn't want to force her or influence her decision. Anyway, there were still a few days left, so let his wife think clearly on her own.

Li Yuanlang will not go.

At least I won’t go to the Gu family in Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Of course, he had to go there on the second day of the new year to attend the wedding of Chang Ming and Ye Wenqi, which had been decided long ago.

As a result, this decision actually changed after Shui Qingzhang returned home.

He called Li Yuanlang out of the guest room and said he was waiting for him in the study downstairs if he had something to say.

Li Yuanlang and his wife began to sleep in separate rooms. Even if Gu Hongyan didn't say it, Li Yuanlang had this plan.

The first three months is a dangerous period. If you are not careful, there is a high chance of miscarriage.

For the sake of his wife and the child in his belly, Li Yuanlang could only suffer a little.

Walking into the study, Shui Qingzhang motioned for him to sit down and asked slowly: "I heard from Xiaoyue that you don't plan to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"

"Yes." Li Yuanlang nodded, but did not explain the reason.

"Did you send Qin Jing?" Shui Qingzhang asked again.

He was able to mention Qin Jing's name, so it was obvious that Shui Qingzhang probably knew about it.

"Yes." Li Yuanlang nodded and admitted without hesitation.

"Alas!" Shui Qingzhang sighed: "Yuen Long, what you did caused a misunderstanding between Akihito and your uncle, and now the two of them are at a standstill."

"Dad, it has nothing to do with me whether they are stiff or not. Gu Chuang is plotting against me and looking for someone to frame me. He doesn't care about family ties. I'm already giving him an advantage by not settling the score with him now."

Li Yuanlang was filled with indignation, thinking that when Gu Chuang and Gu Han were imprisoned by Amethyst's boss Pei Tiande, it was Li Yuanlang who came forward to help them get out of trouble.

There is no need for him to repay, but he repays kindness with hatred, and his conscience is eaten by dogs.

Shui Qingzhang nodded, "I understand your mood and your anger. Alas, it's just that Akihito and the others don't understand, so they won't inform you..."
