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

Yang Xiu left his sister Yang Hui behind, jumped on his horse, whipped the horse hard, and the horse galloped towards the outskirts of the city like an arrow.

His heart was filled with resentment and sorrow, and he just wanted to find a place to vent.

After a while, he arrived at a tavern on the outskirts of the city.

After getting off the horse, he strode into the tavern, without saying a word, found a seat to sit down, and started drinking one glass after another.

It seemed that only the spicy wine could temporarily numb the pain in his heart.

At this time, a few ruffians noticed him. Seeing Yang Xiu's shabby yet noble appearance, they surrounded him with ill intentions.

Yang Xiu was holding back his anger and didn't want to pay any attention to them.

However, this group of ruffians refused to give in and continued to provoke him.

"Hey, sir, you look like you have something bothering you?"

A thug said with a grin.

Yang Xiu turned a deaf ear and continued drinking.

"Oh, you're quite arrogant!"

Another thug said this and reached out to push Yang Xiu.

The anger in Yang Xiu's heart was finally completely ignited. He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger.

Without saying a word, he started beating up those thugs.

His fists fell like raindrops, and each punch carried the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

The ruffians were caught off guard by his sudden attack and fled in panic.

But Yang Xiu did not stop. He seemed to want to vent all the emotions in his heart through this beating.

After Yang Xiu beat up the thugs in the tavern, they were filled with resentment and soon brought more people.

For a moment, the tavern was in chaos, the two sides fought each other, and the scene fell into chaos.

During this fierce fight, Chen Jue happened to pass by.

He could tell at a glance that these thugs were unusual. After some observation, he concluded that these thugs were closely related to Gao Yan.

Chen Jue acted decisively and took the opportunity to capture a few thugs.

Yang Xiu was already in trouble in the chaos, and Chen Jue came to his aid and rescued Yang Xiu from the chaos.

Yang Xiu looked at Chen Jue and blurted out, "A Jue."

Chen Jue frowned slightly and ignored him.

Yang Xiu ignored her and continued, "Ajue, I regret divorcing Chen Jia."

Chen Jue originally had his back to Yang Xiu. When he heard this, he moved slightly and a ripple appeared in his heart.

Yang Xiu's eyes were red, and he said regretfully, "Seeing her with Wei Lang today was like a sharp knife piercing my heart. I hate myself for being blind and self-righteous. Marrying Sima Fei'er was even more foolish. She abandoned me for military merit, and she only cared about fame and fortune. And I abandoned Chen Jia for her."

Chen Jue slowly turned around and looked at Yang Xiu's painful expression. The dissatisfaction in his heart seemed to ease at this moment.

Yang Xiu choked up and said, "I regretted hearing that Chen Jia united with Shouchun to defeat the Qing army. We worked together to repel the assassins, and we felt a tacit understanding. But now it's too late. There is someone by Chen Jia's side who is beyond my reach. I regret it deeply."

His eyes were empty, as if he was immersed in endless pain and regret.

Those beautiful memories of the past now pierced his heart like thorns.

Chen Jue looked at Yang Xiu quietly, and saw that Yang Xiu's emotions gradually collapsed and tears slowly flowed out.

His voice trembled as he said, "Ajue, you know, I am filled with emotion when I see Chen Jia working so hard for the old Duke. I was promoted to a general by the old Duke, and I have great respect for him. That's why I have always treated you well. However, at that time, I was blinded by fame and fortune, and I completely ignored the marriage that the old Duke had carefully prepared for me. Now, I am full of regrets and regret it. How I wish I could redeem all this, but I also understand that nothing can be repeated, and what is missed is missed after all."

Yang Xiu talked endlessly about all his faults, and regret overwhelmed him like a tide.

He picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Bitterness spread in his mouth, just like his mood at the moment.

"Ajue, I was really wrong. I treated Chen Jia badly, showed little concern for her, and never knew what she wanted in her heart."

Chen Jue frowned slightly, remained silent, and just looked at Yang Xiu quietly.

Yang Xiu poured another glass of wine and drank it. The spiciness of the wine irritated his throat, but it could not overcome the regret in his heart.

"I went to Sima Fei'er out of my mind. How could I be so foolish as to betray my relationship with Chen Jia?"

A hint of anger flashed in Chen Jue's eyes, as if blaming Yang Xiu for his ruthlessness.

Yang Xiu filled his glass with wine again and drank it in one gulp. The wine overflowed from the corners of his mouth, but he was completely unaware.

"I only thought about my career and completely forgot about my family. I was trapped by fame and fortune, but forgot the most precious people around me."

Yang Xiu drank while crying, and the tears mixed with the wine made his face even more haggard.

"I'm sorry to Chen Jia. I failed her kindness and love. Now I regret it deeply."

Chen Jue shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and felt sorry for his sister.

Yang Xiu looked at the wine glass with empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

"Every time I see Wei Lang and Chen Jia together, my heart aches. That should have been my position, but I ruined everything with my own hands."

Chen Jue sat aside, but he did not feel the slightest sympathy for Yang Xiu.

In Chen Jue's opinion, Yang Xiu's current fate was entirely his own fault.

He betrayed his sister Chen Jia and abandoned his family for fame, wealth and Sima Fei'er. Such a person should bear this pain.

However, Chen Jue was a rational person and he knew that it would be useless to reveal his true thoughts at this time.

His face still maintained that complex and solemn expression, but a hint of imperceptible indifference occasionally flashed in his eyes.

Yang Xiu's voice trembled, filled with endless regret and pain, and tears flowed down like a flood.

"Ajue, look at how Wei Lang protects Chen Jia. It's my responsibility as a husband! Today he bought a medicine bag for Chen Jia, and Chen Jia gave him a folding fan in return. It was such a beautiful scene, but all of this should belong to me."

Yang Xiu's tears flowed freely like a flood. He cried out hoarsely, "Ajue, all that should have belonged to me!"

As he spoke, he slapped his chest violently, again and again, and the unwillingness and resentment in his heart seemed to burst out of his chest.

"I once had Chen Jia, and the beauty that was possible, but I destroyed it with my own hands. Now, looking at the little things between Wei Lang and her, I should have been standing by her side, enjoying her tenderness and care."

Yang Xiu's eyes were red and his face was full of pain.

"Why? Why was I so stupid in the first place!"

He patted his chest heavily again, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

Yang Xiu's emotions completely broke down. He pulled his hair frantically with both hands, as if this could alleviate the pain in his heart.

Then, Yang Xiu held his head with both hands, curled up into a ball, and cried in pain. His cry echoed in the air, full of despair and regret.

"Why am I so stupid? Why do I want to destroy all this with my own hands?"

He kept blaming himself, tears soaking his face and his broken heart.

At this time, Yang Xiu was like a child abandoned by the world, lonely, helpless and in pain.
