Injustice, family affection

Facing Wei Jia's frantic shouts, Yu Mu remained unmoved.

"What? Scared?"

Yu Mu shook her head slightly and said, "Wei Jia, I don't know why you hate your Second Brother so much. Actually, your Second Brother knew you were going to frame him. He knew everything!"

"Impossible! Don't talk nonsense! If he knew I was going to harm him, why would he still get into trouble!"

A strong sense of weakness made Wei Jia support himself with his hands on the ground, half-kneeling, but he still shouted loudly.

"That day, you told your Second Brother that you were in danger, cornered by the Thunder Clan, and asked your Second Brother to save you. Actually, that was all part of your plan, wasn't it? You paid a high price to get the Thunder Clan to put on this act with you. And your Eldest Brother, Wei Ming, was already ambushed nearby, wasn't he? Waiting for your Second Brother to arrive, they would attack together! Then kill your Second Brother, am I right?"

Yu Mu spoke as if discussing an ordinary matter, as if the victim was not her husband, but someone unrelated to her.

In fact, Ye Chen also knew in his heart that Yu Mu's heart must be in immense pain at this moment.

Wei Jia was stunned, clearly Yu Mu was right: "If that's the case, why did he still go!"

"Because he didn't want you to be disappointed in him. If he didn't go, he would make you feel like he didn't care about you, and it would affect your relationship. So, even though he knew there was danger, he still went. You know what happened that day, don't you?"

Wei Jia was stunned, recalling what happened that day.

That day, he was cooperating with the Thunder Clan in their act when his Second Brother arrived, and his Second Brother began fighting with the Thunder Clan members.

Although the Thunder Clan had a restraining ability against wood attributes, his Second Brother still held the upper hand, fighting four against one with no pressure at all.

For some reason, the Thunder Clan members suddenly attacked him fiercely, getting serious, and his Second Brother protected him, covering his retreat.

Then Eldest Brother Wei Ming appeared and told him to retreat first. Wei Jia wasn't very clear about what happened afterward.

At first, he didn't think anything was wrong, but now that he thought about it carefully, it felt more and more off.

Yu Mu continued, "Wei Jia, do you know why your Second Brother still saved you even though he knew there was danger? Why did the Thunder Clan attack you so fiercely?"

"Why?" Wei Jia said subconsciously.

"Because of your Eldest Brother. Among you four brothers, your Eldest Brother is the most cunning. In fact, if your Second Brother hadn't gone that day, you would have been killed by the Thunder Clan!"

Wei Jia quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible! The Thunder Clan and I were just acting, and Eldest Brother had people nearby. How could I have been killed by the Thunder Clan!"

"What if it was Eldest Brother who wanted to kill you? Your Eldest Brother knew all your plans. You paid a price to get the Thunder Clan to help you, and your Eldest Brother also found those same Thunder Clan members, paying an even higher price, to make them kill you. If your Second Brother hadn't gone, you would have been killed. Don't forget, you and your Second Brother are both your Eldest Brother's competitors. It's good for him if either of you dies!"

Yu Mu said coldly.

"Impossible! Impossible! My Second Brother only cares about his family, he doesn't care about me, so why would he put himself in danger for me! This is impossible!"

Wei Jia's body trembled, unwilling to believe it was true.

Yu Mu took a step forward, tears already in her eyes: "You also said that your Second Brother only cares about his family, but don't forget, you are also your Second Brother's family, you are his own younger brother! In his eyes, you are as important to him as I am! He often told me that he envied other families, where brothers were harmonious and fought side by side. He said that this time, since Wei Jia designed to frame him, he had to go. He wanted to negotiate with Eldest Brother.

He was willing to give up the position of the Holy Son, and the person who would lead the Divine Wood Clan in the future would still be Wei Ming. He could also guarantee that you and Wei He would not covet this position, as long as he didn't attack you two and you brothers remained harmonious. I asked him why, why he was so good to you when you treated him like this, and you and Wei He weren't close to him, yet you still treated him like this!"

As she spoke, Yu Mu finally couldn't help but cry.

Yu Mu choked out, "He said, he said you are all his younger brothers. As an older brother, he should protect his younger brothers and be tolerant of them. No treasure, no matter what, is as important as family. He went without hesitation, and you returned safe and sound. I don't know what happened afterward, I only know that your Second Brother can never come back!"

"He said that you and Wei He are both good children, just a little misguided, and eventually you will grow up, become sensible, and understand the importance of family. He clearly remembered that when he was little, when he was bullied, you and Wei He would rush forward with wooden sticks and fight with those people, shouting, 'Don't bully my brother!' Whenever he thought of that, he would feel nostalgic and emotional."

Wei Jia lowered his head, recalling scene after scene from the past. His Second Brother had fought countless times for him. Whenever he was bullied, his Second Brother was always the first to stand up and protect him, no matter how strong the opponent was, he would not be afraid. He, Wei He, and his Second Brother would always come back bruised and injured after fighting with others!

Now, Wei Jia completely understood how good his Second Brother was to him, and yet he, because of jealousy and hatred, had caused his death! In his Second Brother's heart, his Second Brother had never resented him, never hated him, only showed him tolerance.

Drip, drip!

Ye Chen noticed that the dirt in front of Wei Jia was already soaked with tears.

"Ah!" Wei Jia suddenly cried out to the sky, wailing loudly, "Second Brother! Second Brother! I'm sorry! I'm the one who harmed you! Second Brother! I, I was wrong, Second Brother, please come back, Second Brother, I know I was wrong!"

"Ah!" Wei Jia frantically pounded the ground. At this moment, Wei Jia was like a child who had lost something important, lying on the ground, wailing.

Yu Mu stepped forward and took out an object to hand to Wei Jia. It was a wooden horse carved from wood, with a valiant warrior on it.

"This is what your Second Brother gave you. You once said that you wanted to become a brave warrior and lead soldiers to conquer all directions. Your Second Brother was very happy and told me that if he couldn't come back, I should give this to you, hoping that you would become a true warrior in the future."

A gentle breeze blew, and Wei Jia raised his head, staring blankly at the wooden horse in front of him.

The warrior on the wooden horse looked so similar to himself.

From Yu Mu's words just now, Ye Chen also understood something.

"If I can't come back, give this to Wei Jia," meaning that Yu Mu's husband was determined that even if he couldn't come back, he wanted Wei Jia to return.

Wei Jia grew up at this moment, but the price he paid for growing up was painful and immense.

Perhaps, Wei Jia will live his entire life in guilt towards his Second Brother.
