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

Yang Xiu looked at Chen Jia who was so close to him. Once upon a time, he and she shared a candle by the west window, and she talked to him about everything.

Before he met Sima Fei'er, he would take walks with her under the moon, and she would sew clothes for him. The two of them were so close.

It's not that he has no feelings for her. Even before marriage, they had a period of sweetness.

However, everything changed after Sima Fei'er appeared. He began to be obsessed with the honor brought to him by the world-famous woman, and he began to reject Chen Jia, who was content with staying in the back house and could not bring him the opportunity to move to the next level.

But he forgot that Chen Jia’s background meant his capital for advancement. His marriage was originally the best capital for advancement, but he destroyed it with his own hands.

Yang Xiu looked at Wei Lang unwillingly. If those letters could only prove that Wei Lang was in unrequited love, now, the two people walking side by side told him with facts that Wei Lang and Chen Jia were in love with each other.

He couldn't compare to Wei Lang in terms of background, and he couldn't give Wei Lang everything he could. The damn desire to win made his heart ache.

Yang Xiu asked Chen Jia in a low voice, "On the second day after the divorce, don't you want to hide it at all?"

Chen Jia was so angry that she laughed. If he hadn't divorced his wife and remarried, why would she leave the Yang family?

If the Yang family hadn't wanted to seize her dowry, why would she hate the Yang family so much?

She remembered clearly what she had gone through in her previous life when she lost her dowry and her younger brother. Now, God has mercy on her and given her a chance to live again, and she will never make the same mistake again.

"General Yang, you've gone too far. Since we've parted ways, it's none of our business whether a man gets married or not. I don't care about you, and you don't have to be sentimental."

Chen Jia's voice was so cold that it was difficult for him to adapt for a while.

She used to pour him hot tea, put on his coat, care about his joys and sorrows, and analyze his future.

But now she says he is being too sentimental?

Resentment and regret lingered in his heart.

"Yiyi, I am yours..."

When the words came to his lips, he was suddenly stunned. Yes, they were divorced. What right did he have to control her?

"General Yang, Ruiqing and I have something else to do, so I'm sorry we can't keep you company." Chen Jia tugged at Wei Lang's sleeve and said gently, "Ruiqing, let's go."

Wei Lang smiled and nodded. After taking a few steps, Yang Xiu couldn't help but block their way. Wei Lang looked at Yang Xiu with a sullen face.

"General Yang, you seem to have not forgotten what happened this morning."

Yang Xiu was so jealous that he answered without hesitation, "Sir Wei, I want to say a few words to my ex-wife. Does this violate any laws?"

Wei Lang took a step forward, isolating Yang Xiu and Chen Jia, and spoke in his usual overbearing manner, "Obviously, Yi Yi doesn't want to talk to you anymore."

"Master Wei, Yi Yi and I have indeed divorced, but a night of marriage is a hundred nights of love, and some relationships cannot be severed just like that."

"It's as if you have some great affection for her. When the entire Yang family forced Yi Yi to give up her dowry yesterday, where was your affection?"

Wei Lang's sharp words left Yang Xiu speechless for a moment. Yes, what the Yang family did yesterday was too much.

Chen Jia's eyes brightened and she felt a little better. After all, he was the man she liked, and she knew exactly where to hit him when confronting him.

"General Yang, since you don't know what to say, then don't get in the way."

Wei Lang stretched out his hand to push Yang Xiu's arm away, and deliberately held Chen Jia's hand in front of Yang Xiu, with their fingers intertwined.

Chen Jia did not resist at all, and Yang Xiu's eyes instantly turned red with jealousy.

Yang Hui couldn't stand it any longer. This was embarrassing her brother in public. "Master Wei, you are so intimate with a second-married girl. Aren't you afraid that the Wei family in Hedong will dislike her? I heard that the Wei family only wants girls with a clean family background. A twenty-year-old woman can't be your clan wife. Besides..."

Yang Hui glanced at Chen Jia's smug face. She was determined to trample on her dignity to avenge her stabbing with the silver hairpin in the morning. "She keeps saying that she doesn't want to be demoted to a concubine. As the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhao, she doesn't want to be your mistress. What's the point of you being close to her now? She can't be your wife, nor can she be your concubine. She doesn't even want to be your mistress. It's a futile effort. I advise you not to do it."

Chen Jia smiled gently. She had just analyzed the future with Wei Lang when Yang Hui stated her conclusion in public.

Well, she also wanted to see what Wei Lang would say. With so many onlookers, they would definitely tell the elders of the Hedong Wei family about what happened today. She wanted to know what Wei Lang would do in the future.

Although we should judge a person by what he does rather than what he says, sometimes what he says in front of outsiders is important.

Wei Lang slowly held Chen Jia's hand tightly. He stared at Yang Hui. Yang Hui was not afraid for a moment, but straightened her chest instead.

"Girl of the Yang family, are you eager to get married before you even reach the age of 15? You care so much about other people's marriages. Do you want to be an old maid and act as a matchmaker for others?"

Yang Hui's face suddenly changed. What nonsense was he talking about? What about an old maid who couldn't get married and being a matchmaker? !

Yang Hui's face turned blue with anger. "Master Wei, I am just kindly reminding you that she is not worthy of you and there is no future for you two."

"Oh, it seems that you know a lot about the relationship between men and women. Is it because you have seen so many men at such a young age that you have some special experience?"

Yang Hui's chest heaved with anger. "Master Wei, I'm trying to help you consider a marriage. How can you humiliate me like this?"

"Humiliation? Do you know what humiliation is? If someone says something you don't like to hear, you say it's humiliation. If you say something others don't like to hear, you say it's righteousness? Where do you get the confidence to think that what you say is right?"

"But I'm talking about public order and good customs. She herself has repeatedly said that she will never be a concubine. Can you, the Hedong Wei clan, really tolerate a twenty-year-old second-married girl?"

"Our Hedong Wei family rose to prominence thanks to a second-married daughter, and everyone knows this. Are you humiliating our Hedong Wei family?"

Wei Lang took a step forward, and Yang Hui retreated in panic. Yang Xiu pulled Yang Hui behind him, and Yang Hui's heart was beating like a drum.

The Empress Dowager was Wei of Hedong. Not only was she a second-married woman, she also married the emperor and gave birth to the emperor emeritus. This is a well-known fact.

Chen Jia's heart beat faster. It turned out that Wei Lang had already thought of a reason to talk to Hedong Wei about her identity as a second-married daughter?

Chen Jia looked at Wei Lang's back, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Wei Lang was indeed working hard for their marriage.

But... Chen Jia was not optimistic about the future. The Empress Dowager was a thing of the past decades, and the current Hedong Wei family might not accept her.

Wei Lang sneered a few times, "Haha, your sister seems to be very concerned about who I marry. So, does she have the final say on any decision I make?"

Yang Xiu's voice was calm, not as nervous as Yang Hui, "Master Wei, I didn't mean it, please forgive me. The Yang family doesn't dare to question the Hedong Wei family."

Wei Lang shouted with a face, looking at Yang Xiu, "Since so many people are watching, why not explain what happened today to everyone."
