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

Sima Fei'er was held tightly by the guards, her eyes full of despair and pleading, "Yang Xiu, please save me."

When Yang Xiu heard Sima Fei'er's plea, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

After all, facing such earnest pleas, he was not heartless and unmoved.

However, reason kept reminding him that what Sima Fei'er had done was too serious and far beyond his ability, and he was simply unable to help.

He clenched his teeth tightly and said, "I can't save you. No one can save you from what you have done."

Sima Feier saw that her pleading was in vain, and her eyes, which were originally full of pleading, were instantly filled with anger.

She was furious and began to blame Yang Xiu desperately: "Yang Xiu, your whole family is extremely shameless. You took Chen Jia's dowry and you didn't stop it. Your coldness is simply outrageous! Look at the ugly faces of your family, greedy and selfish, and you let them do whatever they want."

Yang Xiu's face instantly turned pale, and he shouted, "Sima Fei'er, stop talking nonsense!"

Sima Feier sneered and continued, "I lied? Yang Xiu, you know it clearly!"

Yang Xiu was so shocked by this sudden accusation that he clenched his hands into fists unconsciously, and his joints turned white from the force.

I felt a strong sense of anger and shame in my heart, but I didn't know how to refute it.

Sima Feier turned to Chen Jia and cried, "Chen Jia, you were right at the beginning. Yang Xiu is a heartless bastard."

After being accused by Sima Fei'er, Yang Xiu unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, the veins on his arms bulged, and even his breathing became rapid.

His eyes were filled with panic and shame after being exposed, and he shouted, "Enough! Stop talking!"

Sima Fei'er was not afraid at all and replied, "What? You can't stand it because I hit you right in the gut? Yang Xiu, you're a bastard!"

Yang Xiu was angered by Sima Fei'er's accusation and shouted, "Sima Fei'er, stop slandering me here! It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of my Yang family!"

Seeing Yang Xiu like this, Chen Jue waved his hand to signal his men, "Come here, force Sima Fei'er onto the prisoner cart!"

The guards received the order and dragged Sima Fei'er towards the prison van without any courtesy.

Sima Feier struggled hard, and kept cursing: "Yang Xiu, you will die a miserable death! There is no good person in the Yang family!"

Although she resisted desperately, she was ultimately no match for the guards and was forced into the prison van.

Sima Fei'er in the prisoner car still didn't stop, and continued to curse: "You will be punished, and I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Chen Jue frowned and said to Sima Fei'er in the prison car, "You'd better save some strength. You will have a chance to speak in court."

Sima Fei'er turned a deaf ear and continued to hear the scolding.

In the court of the Ministry of Justice, the joint trial of the Dali Temple officially began. Wei Lang and Chen Jue sat in front of the case, staring at Sima Feier seriously.

Wei Lang was the first to ask, "Sima Fei'er, what is your relationship with that dye shop? Tell the truth!"

Sima Feier raised her head and pretended to be calm and argued: "Sir, I have nothing to do with the dyeing shop. I don't know why you are questioning me like this."

Wei Lang snorted coldly, slammed the file in his hand heavily on the table, and said, "Don't quibble! We have already found out that Blackwater Bay is closely related to you, and your mother's family is from Blackwater Bay."

Sima Fei'er's face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her refusing-to-admit look and continued to argue: "Sir, even if my parents' home is in Blackwater Bay, it doesn't mean that I have anything to do with the dyeing shop. There must be some misunderstanding."

Chen Jue looked at Sima Fei'er and said sternly, "At this point, you are still trying to flatter me. The evidence is irrefutable and you cannot deny it!"

Sima Feier bit her lip and still refused to give in: "Sir, it is true that my mother is from Blackwater Bay, but what is the relationship between Blackwater Bay and the dyeing shop? You can't wrongly accuse a good person for no reason!"

Wei Lang looked serious, his eyes were like torches, and he said coldly: "The raw materials of the azure dye are only produced in Blackwater Bay, and we have found out that the dye shop uses this raw material. Do you still want to deny the connection?"

Sima Fei'er's eyes flickered and her heart was in a panic, but she still tried to struggle desperately.

Suddenly, she pointed at Chen Jia and said loudly, "Sir, the owner of this dyeing shop is Chen Jia, I have no right to interfere! I am just an innocent person who was dragged into this.

Chen Jia, as the victim, was listening to the trial. At this moment, she could not help but stand up and say, "The account books are from a few years ago. I was not in charge at that time."

Sima Feier was still quibbling: "I only married into Yang Xiu's family later. If the shop was not managed by you, Chen Jia, then it must be Yang Xiu's mother or sister. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

Chen Jia's eyes were determined. She produced the evidence and said sternly, "The azure dye has always been provided by your cousin. Since you left and married into Yang Xiu's family, why has your cousin always been the one who supplied the dye? Can you deny the connection?"

Sima Fei'er's face turned pale instantly, and she stammered, "This... this is just a coincidence."

Chen Jia snorted coldly: "Coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences in the world!"

Sima Feier continued to argue: "I have been staying in Huaiyang and have never contacted my cousin. My cousin just happened to be selected."

Chen Jia was not moved at all. She took out the account book and asked, "Then why is the price your cousin offered so much higher than the market price?"

Sima Fei'er tried to shirk responsibility and said, "You have to ask Yang Xiu's family. I know nothing about this."

Chen Jia took out the account book again and said, "Sima Fei'er, the first year your cousin provided the dye, you bought this piece of cloth in the shop. How do you explain this?"

Sima Fei'er's eyes were flustered, but she still said stubbornly: "So what? What does this prove?"

Chen Jia glared at her and said, "This is enough to prove that you are involved in this matter! How long do you want to deny it?"

At this time, everyone in the court was angry and dissatisfied with Sima Fei'er's various excuses, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to her.

Sima Feier questioned angrily: "Why is the customer's name recorded in the account book? This is obviously a fake account!"

Chen Jia looked at her sarcastically and said, "Sima Fei'er, you didn't want to pay at that time, and insisted on putting it on Yang Xiu's account. The shopkeeper didn't dare to make the decision privately, so he asked you to give a token, but you used your own name as collateral and asked Yang Xiu's personal soldiers to testify. It was because you were greedy for a small advantage at that time that the shopkeeper recorded that Yang Xiu helped you pay the bill. You have planned everything, but there is one mistake!"

Sima Fei'er's face flushed red, but she still argued: "You are talking nonsense, there is no such thing!"

Chen Jia sneered and said, "The facts are there, you can't deny it. Your denial is just a last-ditch effort."
