I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives
Chapter 5 Let’s wait and see
Chen Jia walked past the crowd and looked into the eyes of Yang Xiu. This was her husband with whom she had lived for many years, the man who had once been her lover. She thought her life would be smooth, but unexpectedly, she met the wrong person.
Chen Jia stood up and threw the handkerchief on the ground, as if she was throwing away her last layer of disguise. She clasped the back of the chair with her hands and threw it slightly, and the chair flew towards Yang Xiu.
Yang Hui protected the old lady and dodged to the left, while Minister Chen and his wife dodged to the right, making way for them.
The chair came towards Yang Xiu's face. Yang Xiu pushed Sima Fei'er aside. He grabbed the chair with one hand and it stopped instantly. He held the back of the chair and looked at Chen Jia with a bad expression.
Yang Xiu said nothing, as if waiting for Chen Jia's explanation.
Sima Fei'er's smile widened, "It turns out that you are still jealous."
Chen Jia didn't even look at Sima Fei'er. She stepped on the handkerchief and said, "Yang Xiu, my dowry is a gift from the emperor. These two can't be my masters."
When Yang Xiu heard the word "imperial gift" again, his heart skipped a beat. When he first heard the word "imperial gift", he thought Chen Jia was talking nonsense. After all, Minister Chen and his wife didn't react at all.
However, Chen Jia said it again by throwing a chair at someone, and he had to pay attention to the authenticity of the imperial gift.
Could it be that... Chen Jia has nothing to do with Minister Chen and his wife?
Chen Jia looked at the people of the Yang family, then at Minister Chen and his wife. She raised her voice and said, "Today he is not divorcing his wife, but I am divorcing her. The dowry is a gift from the emperor, and no one can take it away except me."
Chen Jia looked back at Chen Jue, who ran over with a smile to bring a table and chairs, spread out white rice paper, and ground ink for Chen Jia.
Because of the chair smashing just now, these people all knew how good Chen Jia's martial arts were, and no one dared to get close to him.
Chen Jia wrote the divorce letter, signed it, looked at Yang Xiu, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Sign it, and we can part ways in peace."
He is surrounded by members of the Yang family. If he is beaten by a woman and has to bow his head and behave himself, where will his face be?
Since Chen Jia had humiliated him like this today, he couldn't possibly do what she wanted.
Yang Xiu refused coldly, "Since you don't want to be my concubine, I can only give you a letter of divorce."
Sima Feier sighed softly, "Chen Jia, you just want to leave here anyway. What's the difference between a divorce letter and a divorce? As long as you can leave, why bother about this?"
Chen Jia suddenly smiled. Was she trying to be generous here? The incident started with her, but she became the good person outside the incident.
Chen Jia turned her eyes away from Yang Xiu's face and looked at the woman again, "Sima Fei'er, I understand your self-love for not wanting to be a concubine. As a woman, you shouldn't be an accomplice to a tiger."
Sima Feier looked at Chen Jia as if she were a fool. "Practicing martial arts like a reckless man, without knowing the limits, is like an egg hitting a stone."
"You're already picking fights before you even get started. You really don't know your limits."
"Take the divorce letter and save your dignity."
"Dignity is something you give yourself, not something given by others."
Chen Jia picked up the divorce letter and walked towards Yang Xiu step by step. Sima Fei'er stood in front of Yang Xiu, and Yang Xiu subconsciously pulled Sima Fei'er behind him.
Yang Xiu and Chen Jia looked at each other across the chair. Yang Xiu held the chair in his hand. He smelled the fragrance of Chen Jia. Such a familiar scent, but they parted ways today. For some reason, he felt a little reluctant.
Chen Jia stared into Yang Xiu's eyes and said slowly, "Yang Xiu, she entered the inner house unmarried. If I want, I can ruin her reputation."
Yang Xiu's voice suddenly rose, his brows knitted tightly together.
Sima Fei'er looked at Chen Jia and said sarcastically, "Do you have this ability?"
Chen Jue's voice suddenly interrupted, "The Dali Temple can do that."
Sima Fei'er stared at Chen Jue. After all, a lot of correspondence between Wei Lang and Chen Jia was found here, and Chen Jue followed Wei Lang to work, so she knew that Chen Jue was not lying.
Yang Xiu's voice sank a little. He couldn't help but think about the relationship between Wei Lang and Chen Jia. "Wei Lang comes from a famous family, and a second-married woman can't enter. Chen Jia, don't dream of a place you are destined not to enter."
Chen Jia raised her eyebrows, and the old lady suddenly interrupted, "Even if it was granted by the emperor, you seduced a wild man, which is a violation of the seven causes of divorce! A divorced woman cannot take her property with her, this is the law!"
Mrs. Chen Shangshu saw the opportunity and echoed, "Mother-in-law is right, Chen Jia, you have to admit your mistakes. Even if His Majesty comes in person, you can't take your dowry away."
Minister Chen had long been unhappy with Chen Jia and Chen Jue. Since the old prime minister had not come, he did not mind stepping on these two siblings who had been bullying the Chen family for a long time and humiliating them severely. "Daliang values etiquette and law. Chen Jia, you have violated etiquette and law. It is useless to quibble."
Minister Chen paused, looked at Yang Xiu, and deliberately raised his voice so that Chen Jia could hear clearly, "Son-in-law, no, General Yang, my daughter grew up in the countryside and is used to being unruly. She doesn't understand the law, but it doesn't mean that we, as parents, don't understand it. This dowry, even if it is a gift from the emperor, according to etiquette, she can't take it away."
Yang Xiu followed Chen Shangshu's intention and continued, "Chen Jia, take the divorce letter. I won't sue you for intentional injury."
Chen Jia was so angry that she laughed again, "You let me get away with it, and you still want me to be grateful to you?"
Yang Xiu said impatiently: "Chen Jia, don't force me."
"Force you? I'm penniless and sleeping on the streets, that's not forcing me?"
"The law is the law. You made a mistake, and there is nothing I can do about it." Yang Xiu took out a bunch of money and threw it on the chair. "Take this money, find a place to stay, and live a good life."
"Hahaha, ridiculous, really ridiculous. Yang Xiu, don't act so kind and helpless! You, you took away the foundation of my livelihood. The wealth that could support me for thirty years was taken away by you, but you gave me less than ten days' expenses, and you still force me to be grateful to you?"
Chen Jia glared at Yang Xiu, her voice rising unconsciously as she poured out all the anger that had been pent up in her heart for years.
"You guys treat me like fools? Why should I give up my own property just because of your so-called etiquette? Why should I give up the support my family left me for a shady and unscrupulous person? Who are you? Are you the king or the emperor? What qualifications do you have to decide my future?"
"Chen Jia, my father-in-law is the Minister of Rites. No one here knows the law better than him!"
"Haha, Yang Xiu, can the Ministry of Rites just talk nonsense? Can the Ministry of Rites always be right?"
Minister Chen stared with his eyes wide open and raised his voice. He was fed up with Chen Jia, this fake daughter. "Chen Jia, I am an official of the dynasty after all. How can I allow you to criticize me like this? Don't think that just because you are Prime Minister Cui's illegitimate daughter, I can indulge you forever!"
As soon as Chen Shangshu finished speaking, Yang Xiu looked at him in disbelief.
Yang Xiu's heart beat faster again. He looked at Chen Jue. He had to re-examine Chen Jue and wondered: Could it be that Chen Jue and Chen Jia are both Prime Minister Cui's children? Why was Minister Chen willing to help Prime Minister Cui raise his illegitimate child?
Prime Minister Cui is the most trusted person around the emperor. If... Chen Jia and Chen Jue are really Prime Minister Cui's illegitimate children, why hasn't the prime minister come today when the divorce has caused such a big fuss?
Minister Cui saw that Yang Xiu looked unhappy and explained hesitantly, "General Yang, I didn't want to say it, but this unworthy girl has gone too far."
The old lady seemed to have grasped some key words. She gloated and said, "Haha, it turns out that you and your brother think you are the children of the Qinghe Cui family, that's why you are so unscrupulous! If the Prime Minister really loves you so much, why hasn't he come to help you until now?"
Just as the old lady finished speaking, Prime Minister Cui led a group of people into the inner house. Prime Minister Cui's voice, like a loud bell, rang out from behind the old lady, "Who said I didn't come?"
