The old lady raised her voice. She wanted to make things clear with her daughter-in-law today. "Chen Jia, since you are in contact with a man outside, you can no longer manage the family's money. Hand over the key to the storehouse. From now on, you will stay in the inner courtyard. The Yang family will not lack food and clothing for you and Chen Jue."

Chen Jia was so angry that she laughed, "I'm about to marry Sima Fei'er, and you want me to hand over money at this time? Oh, the betrothal gift is not enough to marry her, use my dowry to supplement it."

The old lady's thoughts were guessed by Chen Jia, and she felt a little embarrassed. When she thought of Sima Fei'er being praised by the emperor as a female Zhuge Liang, she knew that with a daughter-in-law like Sima Fei'er who was praised by the emperor, their Yang family would surely rise to prominence.

Look at Chen Jia, the woman who dragged her brother to marry. Apart from a little dowry, how can she compare to Sima Fei'er? No, she must help her son marry Sima Fei'er! No matter what Chen Jia thinks, Sima Fei'er is the most important.

The old lady winked at her daughter Yang Hui, who cleared her throat, "Sister-in-law, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, Sister Fei'er has been commended by His Majesty, and marrying her into our family will bring honor to our family. As a member of our family, you have to consider the overall situation."

The second sister-in-law interrupted and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, it is a great fortune for our Yang family to marry Miss Sima. She is willing to marry us, which is what we want. We must bring her home at all costs."

Chen Jia smiled and looked at her second brother's wife. This second brother's wife usually looked weak. All the clothes and jewelry from head to toe were given to her by Chen Jia from her dowry. Unexpectedly, some people were ungrateful and could not be tamed no matter how much she was fed.

"Sister-in-law, the price of all costs is me. Are you sacrificing me to help Sima Feier get married? That's a really good plan."

The second brother's wife's face changed slightly. She looked at the old lady aggrievedly, and the old lady's face immediately turned cold.

"Chen Jia, don't change the subject. You must hand over the key to the warehouse today! We in the Yang family don't dare to hand over so much money to a woman like you who is so cunning!"

Chen Jue was also amused by the Yang family, "How funny, old lady, if you want to swallow my sister's dowry, just say so. You look so righteous, and if you don't know, people would think that it is natural for you to rob her by force."

"you!"

The old lady was so angry that her hands were shaking. She pointed at Chen Jue for a long time without saying a word.

Yang Hui yelled angrily, "Chen Jue, this is my home, don't force me to use a broom to kick you out!"

Chen Jue pointed at his nose, and a hint of murderous intent appeared on his handsome face. "You can try."

Yang Hui was shocked by Chen Jue's eyes. Yang Xiu knew exactly what this look was. He had seen this look countless times on the battlefield. He knew that Chen Jue had blood on his hands! But... he never knew how Chen Jue got blood on his hands! Could it be...

Yang Xiu looked at Chen Jia with disappointment on his face, "Chen Jia, why did Chen Jue have blood on his hands? How did you teach him?"

Although Chen Jia didn't want to be with Yang Xiu, she admired Yang Xiu's sharpness at this moment.

She didn't want to waste time talking to the old lady and the others, but women are better at spreading rumors than men, and she didn't want these women who already hated Ajue to spread gossip and cause infuriating criticism.

Chen Jia stared into Yang Xiu's eyes and said calmly, "Ajue worked for the Dali Temple Junior Official, so he must have learned some trial skills. If you want to see his talent, you can give it a try."

Chen Jia gave Chen Jue a look, and Chen Jue took out a silver needle from his waist. He held the silver needle in his hand, swung his hand, and the needle flew into the wooden chair.

Yang Hui widened her eyes and took a few steps back. Yang Xiu narrowed his eyes. With Chen Jue's abilities, he shouldn't have been easily subdued by him yesterday.

How could this be... Yang Xiu looked at Chen Jue in confusion, while Chen Jue put away the silver needle and tilted his head to look at the woman walking behind him.

Chen Jia also heard the footsteps behind her. She turned her head and saw a woman with a beauty so stunning that she should be Sima Feier.

There was a soft color between Sima Feier's brows, as soft as a hot spring, her phoenix eyes were shining, and her smile was like blooming spring flowers.

Indeed, Sima Fei'er is a sweet-talking girl. Even Chen Jia thinks Sima Fei'er is likable.

No wonder... Chen Jia looked at Yang Xiu, she had to admit that Yang Xiu had good vision.

Sima Fei'er walked in front of Chen Jia. She ignored Chen Jue's defensive movements and spoke softly and firmly, "You practice martial arts and teach your brother to follow Wei Lang. It seems that you are determined to let him serve as an official in the court."

Chen Jia raised her eyebrows and listened quietly to Sima Fei'er finish her long speech. She also wanted to see how she could lose to Sima Fei'er, the female Zhuge Liang.

"It seems that what I said was right." Sima Feier glanced at Chen Jia, picked up the letter on the ground, opened a few pages at random, tilted her head and looked at Chen Jia, "The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple writes congratulatory letters during festivals? You have a good relationship with him."

Yang Xiu closed his eyes. He also knew that Wei Lang's words showed a man's preference for a woman. Although the letter was not about romance, the unmissable birthday wishes for Chen Jia said it all.

Yang Xiu sometimes had to admit that he also cared about this nominal wife, and no man wanted to be cuckolded.

"I see a hint of heroism between your brows. You must be a proud woman. You and I are both proud, and we are unwilling to humble ourselves. I won't tolerate you, and you won't tolerate me either."

Chen Jia looked at Sima Fei'er with admiration. She was a good girl and she could see clearly.

The old lady was afraid that Sima Fei'er would think too much, so she immediately said in a loud voice: "Fei'er, she is not presentable. Don't worry, after you marry Xiu'er, she will only stay in her own yard and will never come out to bother you. Besides, she can't give birth to a child, so you can just give your child to her for adoption."

Chen Jue suddenly laughed, "Haha, old lady, your dream is really beautiful! My sister used money to help Yang Xiu marry another woman, and also used money to help other women raise children! You are really a kind person!"

The old lady angrily scolded loudly: "Shut up! Adults are talking, and you, a child, have no right to speak!"

Chen Jia interrupted the old lady and stared at Sima Fei'er. "In a family like Yang Xiu's, even if you are the only one, you will be drawn blood by them. Are you willing?"

The old lady's eyes widened, wishing she could whip Chen Jue, "Chen Jia, my Yang family has treated you well! How dare you slander me!"

Chen Jia ignored the old lady and continued to stare at Sima Fei'er, looking at her with a smile, "He divorced his wife and remarried. Once there was a second time, when you were worthless, did you ever think about the future?"

Yang Xiu couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Chen Jia, stop trying to sow discord here! The love between Fei'er and I is witnessed by heaven and earth, and I will never leave her until death!"

Sima Feier straightened her back confidently and replied with a smile: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

Chen Jia nodded and looked at Yang Xiu, the smile on her face not fading, "Yang Xiu, you have good taste. Since she insists on being your wife, let's get a divorce."

Peace and separation? !

Everyone was stunned. The old lady didn't want to bear the cost of losing Chen Jia's dowry. She said sternly: "Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. What's wrong with your man marrying someone more capable than you? She is a female Zhuge Liang who was praised by the whole country. What do you have? You are jealous and insult your parents-in-law. You...you...Xiu'er, you just stand there and watch? Why don't you divorce her!"

Chen Jia still ignored the old lady. She turned to look at Yang Xiu. Although she was not actually married to Yang Xiu, she had lived with Yang Xiu for half a year before marriage. They discussed military books together, annotated military books together, and they had talked about everything.

Chen Jia looked at Yang Xiu steadily and said slowly, "Yang Xiu, are you going to divorce me?"

Yang Xiu may have felt that Chen Jia's gaze was too intense. He turned his head away, not daring to look her in the eye. "You are jealous and disrespectful to your parents-in-law. I have no choice but to divorce you."

Chen Jia felt her heart sink. She didn't expect that she and he couldn't break up peacefully. "We were husband and wife, and you want to hurt me like this?"

The old lady was pissed off by Chen Jue just now. She didn't want to let go of any chance to step on Chen Jue and Chen Jia. "I've asked my father-in-law to come over. They will witness with their own eyes how you were divorced by our Yang family!"

Yang Hui added, "Minister Chen said that the dowry is something you bring with you. Once you marry here, the dowry will stay here!"

Chen Jia looked at Yang Hui. She had picked the latest styles of clothes and jewelry for her every season in the past year. Chen Jia always felt that Yang Hui was going to get married and couldn't be like her, with no one to see her off, so she placed her feelings on Yang Hui to make up for herself.

But I didn't expect... Yang Hui... Haha, the human heart of this world... is really ridiculous...

As soon as Yang Hui finished speaking, Minister Chen and his wife hurried over. Chen Jia and Chen Jue turned around to look at Minister Chen and his wife, but Minister Chen ignored them.

Come to think of it, it makes sense. Today we are going to the brothel to kill the enemy soldiers. This is top secret and the Dali Temple will not let anyone know.

As for her and Chen Jue going to the palace to meet the emperor, that was top secret, so it was normal that Minister Chen didn't know about it.

Minister Chen said politely to the old lady, "Father-in-law, although Ajue and Ajia are my family, married daughters are like spilled water. You can do whatever the world's good customs dictate. We have no objection."

Chen Shangshu's wife followed suit and said, "My master is right. The Chen family is well-educated and well-mannered. If Ah Jia makes a mistake, we will not protect her."

Chen Jue smiled and looked at the Minister of Rites who had always treated them as if they did not exist. They were not Chen's blood relatives, so they did not care, which was right. However, they should not ignore the facts and ignore his sister's future life and death just because Yang Xiu was a general and did not want to offend the general.

Chen Jue reminded Chen Shangshu unhappily, "Marriages and funerals do not necessarily require divorce. There is also the possibility of divorce. I hope you don't forget that you are the Minister of Rites."

Minister Chen's expression changed immediately. He was still Chen Jue's father in name only. "You are talking nonsense! You have no right to speak here!"

Chen Jia took Chen Jue's hand, patted Chen Jue's hand, looked at Minister Chen, bowed, and said gently: "I wonder if you two are here to watch the fun or to help the evil?"

Mrs. Chen suddenly raised her voice, "Chen Jia, how can you talk to the master like that! You are so disrespectful to your parents-in-law, you deserve to be divorced!"

Sima Feier chuckled, approached Chen Jia, and said softly: "With a family like Chen Shangshu, even if you destroy the Chen family, you will be drawn blood by them. Are you willing?"

Chen Jia didn't say anything. The elders of the Yang family came in from outside the door. Chen Jia looked back and she looked at Yang Xiu deeply.

Yang Xiu avoided Chen Jia's gaze, his heart suddenly beat very fast.

Chen Jue crossed his arms across his chest in understanding. It looked like today was going to be a rough day.

Chen Jia looked at Sima Fei'er with a playful smile, and said to Yang Xiu nonchalantly: "Since you have invited Minister Chen and his wife, and called the elders of the Yang family, why not do it here..."

Chen Jia pulled a chair over and sat on it. She looked like a lady in charge of a clan. She spoke calmly and without fear or haste, "Let's talk about whether we should divorce or divorce. By the way... let's talk about who wants to take my dowry. How about it?"

Sima Feier raised her lips and smiled lightly, she seemed not to care, "Brother Xiu, this is your family matter. I hope..." She glanced at Chen Jia, then looked at Yang Xiu again, and said meaningfully, "Don't forget what you said to me."

Yang Xiu shook hands and looked at Chen Jia, "Chen Jia, your father is here too. I don't want to say something too unpleasant. You'd better listen to your mother. Otherwise..."

Chen Jia frowned and said nothing. Seeing that Chen Jia didn't seem to want to respond at all, Yang Xiu suddenly felt a little displeased.

Since marrying Fei'er is a foregone conclusion, he and Chen Jia should make a clean break.

"It seems that you are deliberately pretending not to understand. Chen Jia, no matter how you pretend not to hear, you are an evil woman who is unfilial to your parents-in-law and parents. You are so unfilial that your parents' dowry to you is not yours to decide. Only your father-in-law has the final say." Yang Xiu looked at Minister Chen and said politely, "Father-in-law, please give me some rules on what to do with the dowry."

Minister Chen held Madam Chen down and said without hesitation, "Since the dowry was given by us, Chen, and our daughter is unfilial, there is no need to take it back. Just consider it as atonement for her unfilial behavior."

"Chen Jia, you heard what your father-in-law said. You have to keep this dowry."

"My dowry, Minister Chen said he didn't want it, so he just gave it away? Could it be that the things bestowed by the emperor can be easily given away? Aren't you afraid of being punished by His Majesty?"
