By the river, the breeze was still blowing gently. Chen Jia stood up, his eyes full of determination.

She looked at Wei Lang and said firmly, "Wei Lang, let go. This is a good choice for both of us."

When Wei Lang heard this, he instantly fell into madness. His eyes were full of pain and unwillingness, "No, I love you, you can't just leave me like this."

Wei Lang's voice was almost a roar, he couldn't accept Chen Jia's rejection.

Chen Jia was also struggling painfully in her heart, but she knew that their love was so fragile in the face of reality.

She said firmly again: "Wei Lang, we are really not suitable. Your family will not accept me. If we continue, it will only make each other more miserable."

However, Wei Lang simply couldn't hear what Chen Jia said.

He suddenly stepped forward and forcibly took Chen Jia to the carriage. Chen Jia struggled, but Wei Lang was so strong that she couldn't break free.

The carriage galloped away, taking Chen Jia to Wei Lang's villa.

Wei Lang locked Chen Jia in a room in the villa.

His eyes were filled with madness and persistence. "Chen Jia, you are mine. No one can take you away, including you."

At this time, Wei Lang was already overwhelmed by love. He didn't know how crazy his behavior was, but he only knew that he couldn't lose Chen Jia.

Wei Lang turned around and went to Wei's house. He wanted to find Wei Yue to argue.

Along the way, his heart was filled with anger. When he arrived at the Wei family and saw Wei Yue, his anger instantly erupted.

"Wei Yue, why do you want to destroy my love?"

"Wei Lang, calm down. What's so good about Chen Jia? She is not worthy of you at all."

"Not worthy? What makes you say that?"

"She is a second-married woman, what use can she be? She will only bring trouble to the Wei family."

Wei Lang became even more angry. "You are wrong, Wei Yue. Chen Jia has the reputation of a female general who protects the country. She has made great achievements in the defense of Xia Pi and Shouchun. She has military merits and connections behind her, which are what the Wei family needs. And you, you only have the interaction between civil officials in your mind, but you don't know that military generals also have important significance to the Wei family."

"Wei Lang, how much can a woman do? Even if she has some military achievements, what good can it do? Her identity will still have a negative impact on the Wei family. Our Wei family's position in the capital is very important, and we can't ruin the family's reputation because of a woman."

"Family reputation? Is it more important than love?"

"In this family, reputation is everything."

"Wei Yue, if family reputation is more important than anything else, then why didn't you marry Prince Liang? Why would you let me, your brother, do something that you yourself can't do?"

Wei Yue's face turned pale in an instant. She opened her mouth slightly but didn't know how to answer.

Wei Lang did not intend to let her go. He continued, "Wei Yue, you should think about your own affairs. When will you get married? You have reached the age to get married, but you are still stirring up trouble in your parents' home and ruining my marriage. Do you know your own identity?"

"Wei Lang, how can you say that to me? Everything I did was for the Wei family."

"For the Wei family? Are you really doing this for the Wei family? Or for your own benefit? You said Chen Jia is a second-married woman, useless and will only bring trouble to the Wei family. What about you? As a woman, what use are you? You only know how to manipulate the relationships between those civil officials all day long, but you can't see the value of military generals. Do you think that relying on the flattery of those civil officials can make the Wei family prosperous forever? As a female general who protects the country, Chen Jia fought bravely on the battlefield and made great contributions to the country. And what about you? Apart from the intrigues in this backyard, what meaningful things have you done? You are just a delicate woman protected by the family. Do you think you understand what the interests of the family are? Everything you do is just to satisfy your own vanity."

Wei Lang's eyes were full of contempt. He continued, "Look at yourself. You wear gorgeous clothes and expensive jewelry. You only attend various banquets and chat with those noble ladies all day long. Do you think you can bring glory to the Wei family? You are wrong. The real glory is won by strength and courage, not by these superficial things. When Chen Jia faced the enemy on the battlefield, she did not retreat or fear. She used her life to defend the country and the people. And you? What are you doing? You are arguing with others for some boring things and calculating others for some insignificant interests. What qualifications do you have as a woman to judge Chen Jia? What qualifications do you have to decide my love?"

Wei Lang's words were like heavy hammers, hitting Wei Yue's heart.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Wei Lang and said in a trembling voice, "Wei Lang, why do you want to humiliate me like this? I am your sister."

Wei Lang said mercilessly: "You said that women are useless. I just treat you the way you think. Why do you feel wronged? I will use my own way to protect my love and Chen Jia. You'd better not interfere in my affairs anymore, otherwise, I will not be polite to you."

Wei Lang's words made Wei Yue completely collapse. She had never thought that her brother would treat her like this.

In the hall of the Wei family, Wei Yue burst into tears, still trying to explain: "Wei Lang, I really want to do this for the good of the Wei family. I don't mean to destroy your love." Wei

Lang was not moved at all, and warned again with cold eyes: "Wei Yue, I warn you for the last time. If you dare to interfere in my affairs again, I will make you marry badly."

Wei Yue was frightened by this sudden threat and her face turned pale instantly. Her body trembled involuntarily, her legs softened, and she collapsed to the ground. She had never seen Wei Lang so cold before. She knew that Wei Lang was serious and if she dared to interfere with his love again, he would really do what he said.

At this time, Wei Lang walked out of the Wei Mansion angrily. As soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by Chen Jue.

Chen Jue's face was filled with anxiety, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed determination and courage.

He asked anxiously, "Brother Lang, where is my sister? She disappeared after returning from the teahouse."

Wei Lang frowned and did not answer Chen Jue's question.

Chen Jue became even more anxious when he saw this. He continued, "The last person my sister saw was Wei Yue. If the Wei family hid my sister, then you must have done it."

Chen Jue stared at Wei Lang closely, as if trying to find a flaw in his face.

Wei Lang said forcefully: "Chen Jue, there is a misunderstanding between Chen Jia and me. You don't need to ask where Chen Jia is before the misunderstanding is resolved."

Wei Lang's tone was firm and indifferent. He couldn't let Chen Jue know that Chen Jia was locked in the villa by him, otherwise it would only make things more complicated.

"Wei Lang, I hope you can resolve the misunderstanding with your sister as soon as possible and let her return safely. Otherwise, I will not let it go."

"Chen Jue, I know you are worried about Yi Yi, but you have to believe me, I won't hurt her. Once the misunderstanding is resolved, I will let her come back to you."

"Wei Lang, I hope you will do what you say. If anything goes wrong with my sister, I will never let you go."

After Chen Jue finished speaking, he turned and left.
