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

Wei Lang straightened his back and looked at the family elders with a firm gaze. He knew in his heart that every word he said at this moment might determine his and Chen Jia's future, and also affect the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Wei family.

"My dear elders, the border between Liang and Qing is the Yangtze River. However, Liang is ambitious and will not be satisfied with this. They will definitely fight to the north of the Yangtze River in the future."

Wei Lang's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the silent meeting room. He paused slightly and observed the reactions of the elders. They had different expressions, some frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, while others showed worry.

Wei Lang continued, "Under such circumstances, military commanders are the foundation for a family to build a career. Nowadays, all the major families are trying their best to place people in the newly established Northern Army, and some are even recruiting the Beggars Army. Why? It is because they see the value of military commanders. If our Wei family sticks to the old ways and only values ​​family background and the path of civil servants, we will be eliminated by the times sooner or later."

A white-haired elder raised his head slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Wei Lang, what you said is somewhat reasonable, but the road of being a military commander is full of risks. If you are not careful, it may bring disaster to your family."

Wei Lang did not flinch. He took a step forward, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Elder, risks and opportunities coexist. In the current situation, if we do not take the initiative, what awaits us will only be being surpassed by other families, or even becoming victims in the war. Think about the witchcraft disaster of the prince after the death of Marshal Wei and General Huo two hundred years ago. What a tragic history that was."

Wei Lang's words seemed to open a dusty door, bringing the elders back to that period full of blood and turmoil.

Two hundred years ago, the Wei family was extremely powerful in the court, and Marshal Wei and General Huo were even more powerful.

However, the prince's witchcraft scandal was like a sudden storm that swept the entire court.

At that time, the crown prince was falsely accused of practicing witchcraft, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The incident quickly spread, and countless people were involved. As supporters of the crown prince, the Wei family was naturally not immune.

In this political storm, Marshal Wei and General Huo did not hesitate to fight against other forces in order to protect the prince. However, their efforts ultimately failed to change the prince's fate. The prince was deposed, and Marshal Wei and General Huo also exhausted their energy in this struggle and eventually passed away.

With the death of Marshal Wei and General Huo, the Wei family instantly lost its pillar.

Those who once envied the power of the Wei family began to add insult to injury, and the Wei family fell into an unprecedented predicament. After going through many hardships, the great-grandson of the crown prince returned to the palace with difficulty. The emperor, thinking of their old friendship, showed special favor to the great-grandson of the crown prince.

However, the Wei family could never regain its former glory.

"My elders, do you still remember the time when the great-grandson of the crown prince returned to the palace with great difficulty? At that time, the Wei family had no strong generals to support them. Once the general arrived, everything would be reset to zero. Are we going to repeat the same mistake?"

The elders fell into deep thought, with complicated expressions on their faces. That period of history was the eternal pain of the Wei family, and they knew very well that what Wei Lang said was not alarmist.

The current situation is strikingly similar to that of 200 years ago. The threat from Liang is like a sword hanging over one's head, which may fall at any time. If the Wei family does not make changes, it is likely to fall into despair again.

Wei Lang looked at the expressions of his elders and knew that their hearts had begun to waver.

He struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Chen Jia, although she is a woman, she is an outstanding female general. Her performance on the battlefield is obvious to all. Her bravery, wisdom and leadership are what our Wei family urgently needs right now. She can bring us closer ties with the military and help our Wei family find a foothold in this turbulent situation. We can't miss this opportunity because of some outdated ideas."

A middle-aged elder nodded slightly and said, "Wei Lang, what you said makes sense. But Chen Jia is a remarried woman after all, which is always a problem."

Wei Lang took a deep breath and said, "Elder, we can't lose sight of the big picture because of the small. In this war-torn era, a person's talents and values ​​are far more important than her past. Chen Jia's second marriage may cause some controversy, but her military talent and contributions to the Wei family will gradually make these criticisms disappear. We should accept her with an open mind and let her contribute to the future of the Wei family."

The meeting room fell into a long silence. The elders weighed the pros and cons in their minds and thought about the future of the Wei family.

Finally, a respected elder slowly spoke: "Wei Lang, your words make us think deeply. We can't forget the lessons of the past, nor can we miss the opportunities in front of us. But this matter is of great importance, and we still need to think long-term."

Wei Lang was delighted, for he knew that the elders had been gradually convinced by him.

He said respectfully: "Thank you elders for listening to me. I believe that as long as our Wei family can seize this opportunity, we will surely be able to create glory again in this chaotic world."

After successfully persuading the elders of the family, Wei Lang was filled with emotion and relief. He knew very well that his sister Wei Yue played a crucial role in this process.

So, he came to Wei Yue's residence and said with gratitude: "Sister, this time thanks to you for speaking for me. Without your support, I really don't know what to do."

Wei Yue looked at Wei Lang, with a complex emotion in her eyes. She sighed slightly and said, "Wei Lang, I envy you for fighting so hard for Chen Jia. When I was young, it would have been great if I had a man like you who would fight for me."

There was a hint of melancholy in Wei Yue's words, as if he was recalling his past.

At this time, a breeze blew outside the house, blowing down a few leaves. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming spots of light.

Wei Lang's heart tightened; he could sense the regret in his sister's words.

He gently held Wei Yue's hand and said, "Sister, let the past be the past. Now I just hope you can be happy for me. I have found the person I truly love."

Wei Yue looked at Wei Lang's determined eyes, and the melancholy in her heart gradually dissipated.

She smiled and said, "Wei Lang, you must cherish Chen Jia. She is a good woman, you must not let her down."

Wei Lang nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry. I will definitely treat Chen Jia well."

After saying goodbye to Wei Yue, Wei Lang couldn't wait to return to the yard.

In the yard, several flowers are in full bloom, their colorful petals sparkling in the sun, and the breeze brings bursts of floral fragrance.

Chen Jia was sitting there quietly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Wei Lang walked over to her, sat down gently, and then repeated to Chen Jia word for word what he had said to his elders.

"Chen Jia, the Wei family is willing to be with you because you are a female general. The Wei family needs your strength and your support. We can no longer remain silent for a hundred years like the Crown Prince and Marshal Wei did 200 years ago. We must bravely face the current situation and work hard for the future of the family."

Wei Lang's eyes were full of anticipation, he hoped that Chen Jia could understand his feelings.

At this time, a butterfly flew over and danced among the flowers, as if it was also blessing their future.

Chen Jia listened to Wei Lang's words quietly, with waves of emotion in her heart.

She always thought that the Wei family looked down on her because of her second marriage status.

But now after hearing what Wei Lang said, she realized that the Wei family did not look down on her, but did not know the importance of the current situation.

Wei Lang looked at Chen Jia's thoughtful expression and continued, "Chen Jia, I know you have concerns in your heart. But please believe me and the Wei family. We will work together to face the challenges of the future."

Chen Jia was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Wei Lang, can I really trust the Wei family?"

At this time, a few white clouds floated in the sky, and the sunlight shone through the clouds, covering the entire yard with a layer of warm glow.

Wei Lang held Chen Jia's hand tightly and said, "Chen Jia, I will always be by your side, protecting you and supporting you. The Wei family will gradually recognize your value, and we will create a beautiful future together."

Wei Lang's words were like warm sunshine, gradually melting the ice in Chen Jia's heart. She looked at Wei Lang's sincere eyes, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Wei Lang, I am willing to believe in you and the Wei family. Let's work together."

Chen Jia's eyes were full of determination; she was finally convinced by Wei Lang.
