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

Wei Lang trapped Chen Jia in the courtyard, and he returned to the courtyard eagerly, holding a beautiful lantern in his hand. The light of the lantern flickered in his eyes, as if it was the last ray of hope in his heart.

He wanted to gain some forgiveness from Chen Jia, even if it was just a little bit.

When he entered the courtyard, he began to busy himself with hanging lanterns all over the yard. The colorful lanterns swayed gently in the breeze, like dancing hopes.

However, when Chen Jia saw this scene, she did not feel the slightest joy in her heart.

She glared at Wei Lang and accused him, "Wei Lang, how could you trap me like this?"

Wei Lang's eyes were filled with pain and pleading, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have done this, but I'm really afraid of losing you, and even more afraid that you'll leave me. I have no other choice, I just want you to stay with me."

"The problems between us cannot be solved by trapping me."

"Please believe me, I will take care of everything. Give me some time, and when I have dealt with everything, we can start over."

"I have my own life, you can't force me."

"I want us to be together. Can't you just give me a chance?"

"Wei Lang, your love is too heavy for me to bear. The gap between us is too big, we can't be together. You should let me go."

"Chen Jia, I won't give up. I will use my actions to prove that I am worthy of your love."

Wei Lang sat alone all night on that quiet night.

The night breeze blew gently, but it couldn't calm the waves in his heart.

The little details of his time with Chen Jia kept emerging in his mind, and he finally figured out the problem between him and Chen Jia.

He knew that the root of all this was the contempt of Chen Jia by the Wei family. The concept of family status in the Wei family was deeply rooted, and they could not accept a remarried woman to become a member of the Wei family. As for Chen Jia, she had a strong self-esteem and had been tortured by Yang Xiu's extramarital affair, which made her full of fear and distrust of love.

Wei Lang knew that he had to get rid of Chen Jia's inner demons. He couldn't let Chen Jia live in the shadow of the past. He wanted her to believe in love and herself again. He decided to have a good talk with the Wei family and let them put aside their prejudices and accept Chen Jia.

The next day, Wei Lang found his sister Wei Yue. Wei Yue was pruning flowers in the garden, and when she saw Wei Lang coming, she frowned slightly.

"Wei Lang, what are you doing here again? I've told you that Chen Jia is not suitable for you." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Wei Yue's tone.

Wei Lang took a deep breath, walked slowly to Wei Yue, looked at the branch in her hand, and said softly: "Sister, look at this flower, no matter where it grows, it has its own unique beauty. Chen Jia is just like this flower, she may have a not-so-perfect past, but she is brave, strong and kind."

Wei Yue put down the scissors in her hand and looked at Wei Lang, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Wei Lang, why don't you understand? That Chen Jia is a second-married woman. She will bring trouble to the Wei family. Our Wei family has a prominent position in the capital. We can't let the family's reputation be ruined because of a woman."

"Sister, the world is different now. There are constant disputes among countries. Although our Wei family is prominent, we also need support from all parties. As a female general who protects the country, Chen Jia has deep connections and prestige in the army. If she becomes a member of the Wei family, she will definitely bring more opportunities and guarantees to the Wei family."

"Even if she has these advantages, what can she do? Her identity will still have a negative impact on the Wei family. Don't forget that what our Wei family needs is a marriage between people of equal status, so that we can consolidate the family's position."

"Sister, can a good match guarantee the family's eternal prosperity? Chen Jia fought bravely on the battlefield and made great contributions to the country. Her courage and responsibility are not possessed by many ladies from noble families. Moreover, sister, have you ever thought that if our Wei family always stays closed-minded and only values ​​family background, we will be eliminated by the times sooner or later."

"Wei Lang, you are too naive. Love is not the only thing in this world. We also have family responsibilities and missions. We can't make the wrong choice because of a momentary impulse."

"Sister, I know that family responsibilities and missions are important, but love is equally important. We can find a balance between the two. Chen Jia is not a weak woman. She has her own ideals and pursuits. She can work with me for the future of the family instead of becoming a burden to the family."

"Wei Lang, how can I support you? My father and the elders of the family will not agree that you and Chen Jia are together. You are asking for trouble."

"Sister, I will convince them with my actions..."

"Okay, Wei Lang. I can help you put in a few good words in front of your father, but you also have to be mentally prepared. This may be a tough battle."

"Thank you, sister. I will definitely work hard to make Chen Jia a member of the Wei family."

In the Wei family's meeting room, the atmosphere was solemn and serious.

Wei Lang stood in front of a group of family elders with a determined look. He knew that this was an important conversation concerning his and Chen Jia's future.

"My dear elders, please allow me to analyze the current war between Qing and Liang today."

Wei Lang's voice was steady and powerful, and could be heard clearly in the quiet meeting room.

The elders nodded slightly, signaling Wei Lang to continue.

Wei Lang took a deep breath and began to speak: "Now the war between Qing and Liang is at a stalemate, and the forces of both sides are evenly matched. In such a situation, the role of military generals becomes more prominent. We all know that the victory of a war depends not only on the number of troops, but more importantly on the command ability and strategic vision of the generals."

An elder frowned slightly and said, "Wei Lang, what does what you said have to do with you and Chen Jia?"

Wei Lang replied calmly, "Please listen to me, elders. Although Chen Jia is a woman, she is an outstanding female general. In previous wars, she has shown extraordinary courage and wisdom. Take the last border conflict between Qing and Liang as an example. Chen Jia led her subordinates to defeat the enemy with fewer troops and successfully repelled the attack of Liang. Her military talent and leadership ability are obvious to all."

Another elder shook his head and said, "Even if she has some talent, she is a remarried woman after all. This will still affect the reputation of our Wei family."

Wei Lang's eyes flashed with determination, and he said: "Elders, the times are different now. We can't deny Chen Jia's future just because of her past. In this war-torn era, military generals are of great significance to the family. Although our Wei family has a prominent position in the capital, it is difficult to gain a foothold in this turbulent situation without strong military support. As an excellent female general, Chen Jia can bring more opportunities and guarantees to the Wei family."

Wei Lang paused and continued, "Chen Jia has deep connections and prestige in the military. She can establish a closer connection between the Wei family and the military. In times of war, this connection can provide the Wei family with more intelligence and support. Moreover, Chen Jia's bravery and responsibility can also inspire the younger generations of our Wei family, letting them understand that no matter whether they are men or women, as long as they have talent, they can contribute to the family and the country."

The elders fell into deep thought, and they began to re-examine the woman Chen Jia.

Wei Lang was delighted to see that the elders' attitudes had softened, and continued, "My dear elders, I know you are worried that Chen Jia's identity will bring trouble to the Wei family. But I believe that as long as we give her a chance, she will be able to prove her worth. I hope the elders of the family can support me and let Chen Jia and I be together. I believe that our love will not be a burden to the Wei family, but will bring more glory to the Wei family."
