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

As soon as Chen Jia arrived at the door, he saw Yang Hui yelling like a shrew, her sharp voice seemed to pierce one's eardrums.

"Chen Jia, you are such a heartless person! Return my headdress to me immediately! I had it carefully customized at Biyuzhai!"

Yang Hui put her hands on her hips, the fat on her face trembled with anger, and her eyes were full of greed and arrogance.

"It belongs to whoever paid for it. This headdress is not yours."

Chen Jia frowned, his expression was cold, and there was disgust in his eyes.

"Humph, whoever decides on it owns it. This headdress is mine!"

Yang Hui widened her green bean-like eyes, almost popping out, and stared at Chen Jia as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Chen Jia was so angry that she couldn't help but curse: "Yang Hui, I bought those things, not with your money. Stop slandering me!"

"Slandering me? Chen Jia, you are such a heartless person! You took away my husband's money and now you are taking my head and face. You still have the nerve to scold me?"

When Yang Hui heard this, she became even more furious. She jumped up and down, spitting everywhere and scolding loudly.

"I'm telling you, if you don't give me the headdress today, I'll never let you go!"

Chen Jia took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

"This is the Duke Zhao's residence. If you don't want to be slapped again, get out!"

"I don't care, it's mine, you have to give it back to me!"

"Incomprehensible!"

The generals stood aside, saying nothing, just watching the farce quietly, as if they were waiting to see what would happen.

Just then, Chen Jue came forward with a serious look and a firm gaze.

"Yang Hui, please don't make a fuss here. According to Article 32 of our dynasty's code, anyone who forcibly seizes other people's property without authorization and in large amounts shall be sentenced to imprisonment and have the corresponding property confiscated."

Chen Jue's voice was not loud, but it was clear and powerful, and every word was powerful.

"You are being unreasonable today and forcing this headdress that does not belong to you. You have already violated the law."

When Yang Hui heard this, the arrogance on her face instantly disappeared, and her eyes revealed a hint of fear and panic.

"You...don't scare me!"

"Article 56 of the Code also stipulates that if someone causes trouble and disturbs the peace of others, the offender will also be punished if the circumstances are serious. You are making such a noise in front of my Zhaoguo Mansion, should I bring you to justice?"

Yang Hui's body trembled involuntarily, and she began to retreat in her heart, not daring to act as recklessly as before.

Yang Hui was originally trembling with fear at Chen Jue's words, but when she saw that Chen Jia looked like she was enjoying her show, jealousy welled up in her heart.

"Chen Jia is this shameless divorced woman! She eloped with a strange man without any name or status, and is still fooling around in Shouchun City!"

Yang Hui became more and more excited as she spoke, and put on an attitude that she was doing good for the Zhao family, and continued.

"It is a great shame for the Duke of Zhao to have a woman like her in his mansion. You should kick her out and let her live on the streets!"

After saying these vicious words, Yang Hui raised her face and clasped her hands in front of her chest.

"What I just said was the truth! By the way, let's not talk about that for now. She must give me my headgear!"

She had no idea that she had gone too far, and continued to look at Chen Jue with confidence, as if it was a righteous thing for her to turn back.

"My birthday is coming soon. How can I face people without this? What's mine is mine. It's only natural that she should give it back to me!"

Chen Jue's eyes widened with anger and he yelled at Yang Hui with gritted teeth.

"Yang Hui, listen! Article 85 of the Code states that malicious slander or insult to the reputation of others, if the circumstances are serious, shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane, a fine of one hundred taels of silver, and three years in prison! You have committed a serious crime by slandering my sister today!"

Before Chen Jue finished speaking, Yang Hui's face turned pale.

"Don't think you can escape. The law will not let you go! If you don't repent, I will send you to the authorities immediately. There will be no point crying then!"

Yang Hui was so frightened that she was shaking all over, sweating profusely, her lips quivering, and she couldn't utter a word.

Yang Hui burst into tears with a "wow" sound, tears streaming down uncontrollably, she cried and shouted.

"Chen Jia ran off with a man without any matchmaker or engagement, everyone knows that! I just want my birthday present back, is that wrong?"

She cried so hard that her makeup was smudged and she looked miserable, but she still stubbornly believed that she was not wrong.

Chen Jia frowned and warned Yang Hui seriously and solemnly.

"Don't blurt out some words without thinking!"

However, Yang Hui suddenly put her hands on her hips, glared at him, and retorted in a very arrogant and sarcastic manner.

"Humph, everyone knows that you eloped with that wild man, and you still want to hide it from everyone? Forget it!"

"I was in Shouchun to protect the city and fought bloody battles on the front lines for the peace of the people. Don't talk nonsense here and wantonly tarnish my reputation!"

"Don't try to make excuses here! You were clearly fooling around with a wild man. Those who protected you and the wild man are all accomplices and should be punished!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals were furious. One general glared at them and shouted angrily.

"How dare you! Yang Hui, you are such an ignorant shrew. You are so ignorant and shameless!

Another general pointed at Yang Hui and rebuked her harshly.

"The Yang Xiu family has produced a woman like you who is ignorant of the heavens and earth and acts recklessly. This is a great misfortune for the family and a great shame for the clan!"

"What I'm telling you is the absolute truth! Chen Jia is a slutty, undisciplined woman. How could this be false?"

Her face was extremely distorted and looked hideous. Her sarcastic and unreasonable look was simply disgusting.

Just as Yang Hui had finished speaking, a team sent by the emperor to deliver a commendation plaque to the Female General Protecting the Nation came in a mighty procession, with firecrackers blasting and gongs and drums beating.

When the team arrived at the gate of Duke Zhao's mansion, Yang Hui looked at the plaque in disbelief, her eyes wide open, her mouth open wide enough to fit an egg, and she muttered to herself.

"This is impossible. How can that bitch Chen Jia deserve this honor? This must be a mistake!"

The generals all mocked: "Yang Hui, you are a short-sighted, narrow-minded and ignorant woman. General Chen Jia is defending his country, but you are making trouble. You don't understand the righteousness of the country at all!"

"Do you think you can gain glory with your little tricks? General Chen Jia's bravery and wisdom are beyond your imagination. You are just a pathetic person who is jealous of others!"

Chen Jue walked forward and sneered: "Yang Hui, you are a frog in the well, you only know how to do evil. You don't know your sister's bravery on the battlefield, so you are jealous and slander her, and you will live in a narrow and dark world all your life!"

Chen Jia calmly stepped forward to take the plaque and thanked the team leader with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace and thank you all for your hard work along the way. Chen Jia will definitely live up to your expectations and serve the country."

Afterwards, Yang Hui's legs went limp and she fell to the ground, her face pale and her lips trembling.

"This is impossible, this must be a mistake!"

Yang Hui kept shaking her head frantically, as if she had lost her soul. She was completely frightened by the scene before her.

At this moment, Yang Xiu came running in. His face was full of anger, and without saying a word, he slapped Yang Hui hard.

"You are such an ignorant person, you are always causing trouble for me!"

Then he turned to Chen Jia and his brother, bowed deeply, and apologized with guilt.

"It's my fault for not disciplining this ignorant sister. I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"

Yang Xiu felt extremely bitter inside, as he had never expected that Chen Jia would receive an even greater reward than Sima Fei'er.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up from his dream and realized what a precious treasure he had missed. Regret and loss were intertwined in his heart.
