I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Wei Lang made a gesture to Chen Jia to invite him in. Chen Jia sat opposite Wei Lang and Wei Lang poured Chen Jia another cup of tea.

Chen Jia took a sip, cleared her throat and said, "Can you tell me now?"

"There is a clue about the battle where the old Duke died for his country."

Chen Jia's eyes widened slightly, "Where does the clue point to?"

"Sima Fei'er."

"she?"

"Don't you want to know where her reputation as a female military advisor comes from?"

Of course Chen Jia knew where Sima Fei'er's reputation as a female military advisor came from. After all, this woman had once destroyed her marriage. How could she not investigate?

Sima Fei'er was born into a commoner family. In the battle when Yang Xiu came to support her master, Yang Xiu accompanied her master to defend the city. It was an extremely difficult battle to defend the city.

In this battle to defend the city, Sima Fei'er, as a commoner, brought many women to help. She discovered that the city wall was damaged and built a temporary 30-meter-long protective wall there.

It was also because of this protective wall that the enemy army prevented from rushing in, giving Master and Yang Xiu a chance to catch their breath.

Master and Yang Xiu used the formation and a strong wind to kill the enemy, not only protecting the city but also protecting the people.

It was also during this battle to defend the city that her master admired Yang Xiu and wanted her to marry him.

The master also admired Sima Fei'er's bravery and fearlessness, and wrote to the emperor to commend Sima Fei'er. This is how she got the title of female military advisor.

It was also during this battle to defend the city that Yang Xiu was deeply impressed by Sima Fei'er, and the two developed a close relationship.

Later, the master was ordered to go to Shouchun to take over the city defense, leaving Yang Xiu to guard the city. Not long after the master came to Shouchun, Shouchun was suddenly captured. She and Ajue begged all the way back to the imperial capital of Daliang.

But, it is strange. Huaiyang where Yang Xiu was located was not far from Shouchun, so why did Yang Xiu's reinforcements not arrive yet?

Chen Jia frowned. Could it be... that Yang Xiu did something?

Chen Jia spoke after a long while, her voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor, "Is this a clue that Shouchun City was broken, and Yang Xiu did not rush to help?"

Chen Jia stared at Wei Lang's eyes, trying to capture enough information from him, but he still looked unhurried and gentle.

"No. Shouchun was destroyed, Huaiyang was also destroyed. Yang Xiu also escaped death, it was not intentional not to save him."

"So what are you going to tell me?"

"Sima Fei'er once appeared in Shouchun."

"She's not in Huaiyang!?"

"The Dali Temple has found clues. She may be related to the tragic case of your mentor."

“Is the evidence sufficient?”

Wei Lang shook his head. He looked at Chen Jia, as if inviting or pleading, "You and I have been exchanging letters for many years. We know each other's abilities. Why don't we work together to investigate Sima Fei'er? If the evidence is conclusive, let her get what she deserves, how about that?"

"Why didn't you tell this to Jue?"

Wei Lang's smile paused, and a hint of reluctance finally appeared on his gentle face, "He is not your biological brother. I don't like being with him."

Sure enough, Chen Jue still angered Wei Lang, and Wei Lang didn't want to continue cooperating with Chen Jue.

Chen Jia picked up the teapot and poured tea for Wei Lang. Wei Lang just watched her. He did not stop her, but the smile on his face completely disappeared, and his gentle expression turned into an expressionless one.

"I know you don't like what Jue did today, and I gave Jue a good lesson."

Chen Jia sighed softly, her voice was very gentle, but Wei Lang refused to say anything.

"Ajue is my master's only child. The Duke Zhao's Mansion cannot be destroyed like this. I hope you won't be angry with a half-grown child. I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to you on his behalf. From now on, he will never do this again. I promise."

Wei Lang looked at the teacup that Chen Jia handed to him with both hands, and his brows slightly frowned. She really had the ability to make his good temper disappear.

"For Chen Jue, is it worth it for you to beg me like this?"

"I was raised by my master, and he taught me all my skills. Without my master, you might not even look at me. This kindness is like a second life, which is greater than the sky."

"Yes, you are loyal enough to the old Duke."

Wei Lang took the teacup, tilted his head back and drank it. Chen Jia smiled. It seemed that Wei Lang was not difficult to talk to.

"The matter of Chen Jue is over now."

"Well, thank you."

"I don't want to turn the page on our collaboration."

"Where are the clues? When and where should I see you again?"

"The clue is in the imperial capital, at Huajinfang, at dusk."

"Okay, tomorrow, I'll be there on time."

"Yiyi..."

"Um, what?"

"I hope you give me a chance, not just cooperation. I said I will show you my actions, but I hope..."

Wei Lang glanced at the door, and Chen Jia followed Wei Lang's gaze and found Chen Jue standing at the door with red eyes.

Wei Lang wanted to tell Chen Jue directly. In order to stop him from thinking about it, Wei Lang also became stingy, "Your brother is just a brother."

Chen Jue opened his mouth, but after being scolded by Chen Jia, he didn't dare to say anything and could only look at Chen Jia aggrievedly.

Chen Jia stood up and said to Wei Lang with a smile: "I will definitely not break my promise tomorrow. My brother is just a brother."

"Well, have a good sleep."

Wei Lang took the tea from Chen Jia's hand, and he drank it from the place where Chen Jia had drunk before, and his bright eyes regained their gentleness.

Chen Jia blushed. She didn't expect that Wei Lang, who came from a wealthy family, would be so reckless.

Chen Jia didn't know what to say, so she just bowed and dragged Chen Jue away.

Wei Lang looked at the brother and sister who were leaving. He played with the teacup in a good mood and thought to himself: Chen Jia, the woman I like cannot fly away so easily.

Chen Jia dragged Chen Jue back to the room. Her temper instantly flared up. "I told you to sleep, why didn't you sleep?"

Chen Jue bit his lower lip. What did he hear today?

Sima Fei'er might be the one who killed his father! Wei Lang was not happy with him, so he didn't plan to tell the victim!

Wei Lang was even more disgusted with him being targeted today because of his sister, and even asked his sister to stay away from him so that there would be no so-called love between men and women anymore!

So, is this what being strong looks like? In front of him, Chen Jue is nothing, just a piece of fish to be slaughtered!

"I'm asking you something!"

"Sister, if Sima Fei'er really killed my father, I should be the first to know, but he didn't tell me!"

"He is the eldest son of the Hedong Wei family. What can you do to compete with him now?"

"I, I have nothing."

"He gave us a clue. Our top priority is to find evidence of Sima Fei'er. As for other love affairs..."

Chen Jia slapped Chen Jue on the back of the head. Chen Jue covered his head and looked at Chen Jia.

"Put aside those insane thoughts of yours. Nothing in this world is more important than revenge for Master! Don't be an unfilial son!"

Tears welled up in Chen Jue's eyes, but he held them back stubbornly, "Yeah, I know."

"Wei Lang must have some things he didn't say. What you need to do is to use your identity as the Junior Official of the Dali Temple to find them out. Don't rely on others for everything. There are always some things that you need to make a living on your own. Do you understand?"

"I know."
