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

Yang Xiu followed the servant to the mansion of Duke Zhao. Through the wall shadow, behind it was a spacious hall, with summer eaves, blue bricks and white walls. The beauty of Hui-style architecture caught his eyes at this moment.

It was the first time that Yang Xiu, a man who had climbed up from the bottom of society, saw the building of the Principality Palace.

The more he looked, the more he regretted that he had abandoned Chen Jue and his sister. The more he looked, the more he regretted that he had abandoned Chen Jue and his sister. Why didn't he wait a little longer? Why did he have to be so anxious to marry Sima Fei'er?

As soon as Yang Xiu arrived in the hall, he saw Wei Lang holding a teacup, sitting in the upper left seat like the male host. There was no one sitting in the main seat. Chen Jue sat attentively at the seat below Wei Lang and poured him tea.

Wei Lang heard footsteps, he didn't even raise his head, "Are you here?"

"Hello, Lord Wei."

"Your sister is lacking in discipline. Don't forget the advice of His Majesty. If family traditions are not cultivated, disasters will spread far and wide."

"Here."

Wei Lang did not ask Yang Xiu to sit down, and Chen Jue acted as if he didn't see it, and he refused to be polite.

Yang Xiu was standing there, after all, his position was lower than others, so he could only take it.

"You gained your military merit in Huaiyang City, right?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about this battle so I can talk to the Minister of Revenue about your past and give you a raise."

Yang Xiu did not believe that Wei Lang had such good intentions, but he knew that even though it was just a polite remark, he could not avoid answering the question about the Huaiyang Campaign.

"The old Duke and I defended the city side by side. I defended the city under the command of the old Duke. If I really want to talk about merit, it was given by the old Duke."

Yang Xiu was also good at speaking nice words, but unfortunately, Chen Jue had long lost his affection for Yang Xiu, so no matter how nice his words were, they were useless.

"What were you doing, that day, guarding the city?"

"As the memorial states, I led thousands of soldiers to put up a strong resistance and was responsible for the archer defense of the city."

"Was the plan of Jin Juice yours or the old Duke's?"

"Old Duke."

“Who implemented it?”

Yang Xiu paused, and looked at Wei Lang in confusion, "Sir Wei, are you doubting Fei'er? Fei'er was commended by the old Duke."

"I don't suspect anyone. I'm just curious about how long you and Sima Fei'er have known each other."

"Did she do anything wrong?"

"It's not a big deal."

"That's a crime."

"You should answer my questions, not me answering yours."

"I am overstepping my authority."

Wei Lang put down his teacup and leaned forward, as if he was very interested. "There are quite a few people in Huaiyang City. Are you sure you have enough golden juice?"

"Yes."

"What about Shouchun City? They should be self-sufficient, right?"

"At that time, I was fully focused on defending Huaiyang and was unaware of the situation in Shouchun."

"On the day Shouchun was attacked, did Sima Feier help you again or not?"

"Fei'er fought for several days, and she rested that day." Yang Xiu realized that something was wrong, "Lord Wei, do you suspect Fei'er went to Shouchun City?"

"I heard that earlier, she went to Shouchun specifically to purchase feces and urine, isn't that right?"

Yang Xiu replied without thinking: "All the men in Shouchun City went up to the city wall. The women did not know how to make the golden juice, so Fei'er went to help teach them the method. But on the day Shouchun City was captured, Fei'er had already returned to Shouchun."

“Just because she’s not in Shouchun doesn’t mean she didn’t do anything.”

"I stood guard outside her door that day and watched her fall asleep before I left. Could she have the ability to clone herself?"

"I said, not being in Shouchun doesn't mean I didn't do anything."

Wei Lang's face was cold. Yang Xiu suddenly paused. He shouldn't have said such a thing. He immediately controlled his temper and bowed his head to admit his mistake. "I have overstepped my authority. Please forgive me, Lord Wei."

"I have asked everything I should ask. I suggest you think about everything she did back then." Wei Lang stood up and moved closer to Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu felt a cold wind blowing into his neck. "Don't let a pretentious woman ruin your future."

Wei Lang patted Yang Xiu's shoulder and said calmly, "Okay, you can go back now. I won't leave any food for you."

At this time, footsteps sounded, and as if to deliberately provoke Yang Xiu, Chen Jia came over with a smile, "It's time for dinner, let's put aside the business and fill our stomachs first."

Wei Lang took a step forward, blocking Yang Xiu's gaze, and also blocking Chen Jia's sight of Yang Xiu, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Yang Xiu took a deep breath. His ex-wife was so gentle and considerate in front of other men, but he could only leave like a stranger.

The huge sense of gap made him feel very uncomfortable. He could only grit his teeth and endure it, and leave holding his breath.

During the meal, Chen Jia curiously asked Wei Lang, "What did you say that made him look down?"

Wei Lang took a bite of his meal and said with a smile, "Give him a heads-up and ask him to find a way to investigate Sima Fei'er."

"He trusts that woman so much, will your method work?"

"There are only two possible outcomes for the Dali Temple's investigation. Either the woman herself is guilty, or he shielded the woman and is considered an accomplice. Yang Xiu is not a fool, so he will definitely choose the second option."

Chen Jia smiled and nodded, what he said was absolutely right.

Chen Jue was only responsible for eating. He learned his lesson and stopped talking nonsense.

At night, Chen Jia said goodbye to Wei Lang. Chen Jue came to his sister's side. He frowned and finally expressed his true thoughts.

"Sister, although Wei Lang is a good choice, his family will not tolerate you."

"I know. I told him today."

"Knowing this, why do you still choose to throw yourself into the fire?"

"I don't know why, I just want to give it a try. After all, he is one of the best. I can't give up a beautiful relationship just because of the uncertainty, right?"

"Sister, what will you do if his family doesn't tolerate you?"

"I asked Wei Lang to help me gain military merit. As long as I become stronger, it's still unclear how his family will treat me."

"You want to go to the front? No, I don't agree!"

Chen Jue suddenly grabbed Chen Jia's arm, and Chen Jia turned her head away unhappily, "Jue, I'm a second-married woman, do you want me to live a useless life?"

Chen Jue suddenly let go of her hand. Was she good for nothing? He didn't want to. If she was good for nothing, his Zhaoguo Mansion would not be able to protect her for a long time, and it would be even more difficult for him to marry her.

"But if you go to the front line, what if something happens?"

"It's not good or bad. I just know that this is a desperate road, there is no other way."

"Sister, maybe you are right, but I am powerless to persuade you."

Chen Jue lowered his head. It seemed that he had to find a way to gain the recognition of his father's former subordinates as soon as possible, to help his Yi Yi have a good record on the front line and keep her safe.

"You should go to sleep now. I will practice for a while. I can't let my martial arts become rusty."

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia who was practicing martial arts hard under the moonlight, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he thought he could live with her like this. Once upon a time, he thought that when his father returned to the country, he could marry her.

However, all his hopes were shattered with the destruction of Shouchun City and the massacre of his entire family.

Chen Jue's hands gradually clenched into fists. Sima Fei'er, I heard from Wei Lang that you plotted against my father in Shouchun? Good, very good. I will dig three feet into the ground to find out what you did in Shouchun City. You ruined my marriage and destroyed my family. I will definitely settle this account with you!
