Marriage in Troubled Times

"Governor, you seem to be in a good mood recently."

Xiao Bai looked at Tang Youchen who was sitting on the office chair, he seldom drank at night recently.

"I feel that you are in a good mood recently, why are you with Li Shu?"

"How did she confess to you?"

"No, governor, Li Shu and I confessed."

Tang Youchen really didn't expect that this tree would also bloom. From his usual appearance, he had a haughty expression on his face, as if he lived the same life with anyone, but it doesn't seem to be the case now.

"Oh? It's really a strange thing."

"However, Governor, you should be more careful recently. The Fang family can't find anyone. You may be the next one to be called on a blind date."

Before Tang Youchen understood what Xiaobai meant, the chief pushed open the door of Tang Youchen's office. He said it would be a few days later, but he wanted to see how Beicheng would become under Tang Youchen's governance. what it looks like.

"Chief, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came?"

"I informed you, I informed you that I will be there the day after tomorrow."

Tang Youchen got up hurriedly, but the chief still sat on the sofa opposite him.

He didn't come here specifically to laugh at him. He heard that Li Sisi and Shang Yu were married, and a relative in his family had a business relationship with Shang Yu, but he didn't know what was going on.

I thought it was because Li Sisi didn't want to wait for Tang Youchen to get married, and that's why he was going to laugh at Tang Youchen soon. Some people believe that love is not terrible, because they don't believe that they can't limit others, but for this, they put their own It's a pity that the future has been missed.

Thinking back then, he was also from Beicheng, and his life was different from Tang Youchen's in that he could not have such a position in four years, so from the day he left Beicheng to today, he just came back.

Those people and things from the past probably all blown away with the wind. After all, it is absolutely impossible for one person to wait for another person for decades.

"You still like to joke so much."

"Oh, my incompetent nephew is still here, and he still has the face to come to work. Miss Fang has sued my family."

The chief has never been married in his life, so he doesn't know who he is waiting for or what is going on, but Tang Youchen really didn't know that Xiaobai was his nephew, so he told himself that Xiaobai was absolutely sincere.

That's why.

"Uncle, I already have a girlfriend."

"You have a girlfriend, and you're still on a blind date. Haven't you been beaten recently? Your skin is tight."

"No, it was only after I got in touch with Miss Fang that I discovered the person who can walk with me for the rest of my life."

"You talk a lot of bullshit. If you have nothing to do, get the hell out of here. I'll be annoying when I see you."

When the chief was in Beicheng, Xiaobai was always taken by the chief. Later, after the chief left, it was the former governor who took Xiaobai with him. The previous governor was also regarded as the person who promoted the chief. That's why Xiaobai treated Pei Zhou so well. Big grudge.

Looking at it this way, it's simple and clear that the chief wants Pei Zhou's life, in the name of rebellion, for personal gain.

"The chief is here this time, what's the big deal?"

Xiaobai poured tea for the chief and left.

"I just heard that you were dumped, so I came to see if you regretted going to Beicheng, but Beicheng was managed very well by you, and I saw it too."

"I am an adult, and I have never regretted my choice."

"Aren't you angry that the girl from the Li family betrayed you? I heard that the Li family has surrendered to Pei Zhou. Do you want to use the power to trip up Pei Zhou to wipe out the Li family?"

"At the beginning, I was afraid of your suspicion. If I married a girl from the Li family, would you think that I have formed an alliance with Pei Zhou?"

"You know I won't."

"I know you will, you don't believe that love in this world is great, because you have experienced betrayal, so you think that people who believe in love are stars, isn't that what you think?"

Although the relationship between the two is good, it is normal to strengthen the gang when talking.

It's because the chief doesn't believe in love, so he feels that Tang Youchen has been wronged in Beicheng, but after looking at the current situation, it's hard to say what the relationship between the two of them is like, so I have to ask Xiaobai personally when I have time.

"What's Pei Zhou doing recently? I heard that Shang Yu married a girl from the Li family. Will there be any relationship between him and Pei Zhou..."

"I don't know Shang Yu's thoughts yet, because although he said that he would support my influence in Beicheng, we have no real contact. When you come this time, I will prepare a party to test him."

"Good boy, even I counted."

"I have no other way to hold a banquet. You know that. When you come to Beicheng, do you need Adjutant Bai to show you around?"

"No, I have an appointment. You should be busy first and go to bed early."

It's getting late. Although the old chief said that he had a date, he didn't. He wanted to find someone to fulfill the only regret in his life.

I heard that I got married a few years ago, I don't know who I married, but the family was a big family at the beginning, so let's go and have a look.

The Lan family was not considered a big family in Beicheng back then, but they also had strict disciples, so they lived well off.

But what I see now is a dilapidated house overgrown with weeds. The former lake has dried up, and the once small trees have grown taller than the sky.

He walked in, walked through the long corridor, and came to the door of the room that he always thought about day and night. He arranged his clothes, which were the same clothes as Tang Youchen's. He was wearing Martin boots, gently Flicked the dust off the clothes.

"Squeak."

The old wooden door rattled, like the voice of a hoarse old man.

Everything inside was crumbling like nothing of value was left.

The bed was full of tattered cobwebs, and the bedding on the bed was moldy.

Heavy footsteps sounded behind him, it was a very old woman.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old woman spoke, but the sound was like a wooden door, creaking.

"Is this family already in decline, or do they have no descendants?"

The chief looked at the old man in front of him, and he didn't look familiar at all. When he was there, all the servants in the family knew him.

"There's no one there for a long time, and everyone who should go has gone."

The old man leaned on crutches and was about to leave, but was stopped by the chief.

"What is your relationship with this family?"

"The former owner of this house was kind to me, so I would come here when I was free. When I was young, I would often come to clean the room, but now I can't, I am old."

"Then do you know where the former eldest lady is?"

"Miss, is it Miss Lan Jing?"

When this name was mentioned, the old man's face seemed to have a little more melancholy, even more sadness, and even some anger. I don't know what she thought of, and he let out a long sigh.

"Yes."

"Miss is a very good person, but she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have fallen in love with. Otherwise, life would not be easy now. The little helper Bai Yu back then was the one who harmed Miss."

"At the beginning, the young lady had a very good family to marry, but the master and wife found out because of her affair with Bai Yu, the little worker. After the little worker found out, he ran away overnight, leaving the young lady alone. The Lan family has a strict family style. .”

When the chief left that house, his head was full of the woman's words.

The Lan family has a strict family style, so they beat Lan Jing half to death. At that time, the Li family was very rich, and they fell in love with Lan Jing's beauty. Li Wen vowed to die.

Although he helped her raise children, but he didn't have half an heir. I heard that Li Wen never spent the night in Lan Jing's room.

After Pei Zhou took control of Beicheng, he asked Li Wen for Lan Jing. Only with Lan Jing could he keep the Li family's position in Beicheng. In the past, they gave away secretly. Now Li Wen directly announced that Lan Jing was divorced, so that She followed Pei Zhou.

The chief extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He felt that Lan Jing had betrayed him, but he was the one who really betrayed this relationship. How much wronged she has suffered in these years.

Without even thinking about it, the chief went directly to Pei Zhou's house, but the servants were saying that the master was with the newly married concubine.

If you want the address, you have to go to that place. As long as the chief himself and Pei Zhou ask for someone, he dare not give it. If he asks for someone in person, he can give Pei Zhou benefits. As long as Lan Jing can come to his side, he is willing.

"The chief is coming to Beicheng soon, what do you think I should say in front of the chief to make Tang Youchen go away."

"I'm a woman, and I don't understand what you said."

"You still know that you are a woman, so shouldn't you do something that a woman should do, and serve you well, is it bad for you?"

Pei Zhou took off his belt, he was always beaten anyway, Lan Jing was used to it, and there was nothing in his life to cheer him up.

The two people are in the courtyard, but there is no servant, and no one will pass by here. Even if someone passes by, it will only make Pei Zhou more excited.

The chief hid behind the tree, looking at everything in front of him, his Lan Jing, who used to be so proud, now she seems to be a corpse, if Pei Zhou wants her to go east, she is obedient, like a rag Like a puppet, it follows its master.

Although it was in the yard, she didn't seem to care anymore. She would do whatever Pei Zhou asked her to do. After a few minutes, Pei Zhou didn't seem to be very happy. He didn't like Lan Jing's resignation, but he didn't either. One more reason to hit her.

"Chief, why did you arrive in Beicheng?"

"I came here specially to see you."

"Chief, if you have anything to say, hurry up and pour tea for the chief."

When Lan Jing saw Bai Yu, she couldn't tell what emotion was in her eyes, there was both hatred and love.

It's not like the two people met before, as if they were really strangers.

"When did you arrive in Beicheng?"

"It's been a few hours, and I heard that you have married a new concubine."

When Lan Jing heard this sentence, she was obviously taken aback, what is this, Jin Yi returned home to mock herself?
