Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 11
~End of chapter 10
At night, as Xi Xian laid in bed, she felt sad.
Her legitimate sister was so tough and powerful, she lost to her in terms of strength.
The night was cool like water. Xi Xian fell asleep, revealing half of her white and tender arms, as her fingers were strongly squeezing the brocade quilt, which became wrinkled. She was frowning, uneasy even in her dreams.
It felt as if someone was gently caressing her face, holding her jaw to slowly look at her, the palm of that hand was hot like fire, yet the fingertips were cold, making her feel even more uneasy.
Chapter 11
(4.3)
When Xi Xian woke up in the morning, she found that she had wrapped herself up in a ball, lying peacefully in the middle of the bed, but she had a good and refreshing sleep.
She sat down to wash up, and while she was sitting in front of the bronze mirror to do her makeup, she heard a maid outside lifting the curtain to come in, before saying to her respectfully, “Sixth miss, the main courtyard invited you, the fifth miss and the third miss to have a meal.”
Xi Xian who was looking at her reflection in the bronze mirror, blinked her eyes. Her eyebrows slowly furrowed, and she finally replied, “I got it.”
That maid was a smart person. When she first invited the two other two girls according to their seniority, both were eager to accept the invitation, and even stuffed a few coins in her hands.
This sixth miss was the only one who was slow and did not care, but the momo on charge had specially instructed her that the sixth miss’s temperament was slow, and that she wasn’t allowed to rush her.
But this was not a slow temperament, this was clearly disrespect.
She didn’t know where she got her confidence from.
Meanwhile, Xi Xian was busy picking the color of her lipstick.
In her past life, after her fifteenth birthday, at the prime of her youth, she loved to dress up with flowers, she spent a lot of money to fill her trousseau with lipsticks and rouge of all kinds of colors.
But her legitimate sister always said that her painted face wasn’t as good-looking as her white face.
There were clearly different shades of red, pink, and orange, and she had never gone outside with a white face.
But it was as if her legitimate sister was blind, and she insisted that everything she painted on was the same color.
What else was that if not jealousy?
Xi Xian faced the bronze mirror as she chose a deep pink color that she applied on her lips. This made her look much brighter than usual, and less frail and sickly.
Her legitimate sister hated her beauty, so she was going to dress and make herself pretty, to make her angry to death.
She was also reflecting on the fact that she had been too much of a coward yesterday, which was not good. Thinking back on it, her legitimate sister hadn’t done anything too overboard, so how could she be such a chicken?
This was not good.
When Xi Xian arrived, it was already late, but her legitimate sister was not there as usual. A few servants had served Xi Yao and Xi Yan breakfast, which was light and delicate, and much better than what they were used to have in their courtyard.
It was only when they were taking their leave together that they saw Xi Xian, who had come late.
Xi Yao did not say anything, but only smiled sinisterly as she said to Xi Yan: “This is our sixth sister, I don’t think you have met her yet.”
Her third sister Xi Yan also smiled and just nodded her head in silence, before passing by her.
Xi Xian sat down in the guest hall and then she saw her legitimate sister, who also arrived late.
Her legitimate sister was rather thin, but her constitution was strong, she liked to dress in monotonous dark colors, sometimes she would wear blue and white, usually with intricate gold embroidery and a variety of inlaid precious stones. In her past life, Xi Xian always envied these luxurious dresses of hers, but for her legitimate sister, these were just simple commodities that she was used to.
Her legitimate sister’s personality was too rigid and grave, if not for that cold and mocking face, she would have thought that her legitimate sister was going to enter a nunnery to be a nun.
Xi Xian was sitting down silently. The flower jewelry on her forehead was shining bright, and the young girl’s lips were full of deep pink, most probably unimaginably soft to the touch.
When she was a young girl, she was not that sickly and feeble, it’s just that her health wasn’t too good, she was often sick, but when she had energy, she looked like a plump fruit full of honey, she could make men daydream in numerous ways, and cherish her endlessly.
Her legitimate sister looked at her, with a deep gaze: “How come you are dressed like this today?”
Xi Xian revealed a light smile, she raised her eyebrows, slowly biting the words, “Because I like it.”
Her legitimate sister smiled faintly, her eyes slightly darkened, as she said with an approving tone, “Mmh, I like it very much too.”
Xi Xian was confused: “……???”
After the breakfast, her legitimate sister’s slender fingers slowly held on to the edge of the table as she told her indifferently: “Father has secretly arranged a marriage for you, do you know of it?”
Xi Xian nodded silently.
The reason she had entered the residence was not only because her concubine mother was pregnant, but also because of her beauty, plus the fact that her father always treated her concubine mother a little differently from others, so her father wanted to use her to rope in noble and important men like the one from the Xu family. This would be considered a good marriage for her.
Because of this, her fifth sister Xi Yao repeatedly got in her way, embarrassed her, and even went as far as to use dirty means to covertly snatch her marriage.
But in her last life, the young master of the Xu family died a sudden death, and so she failed to get married.
She was instead forced to be young master Xu’s widow, and after crying and begging her legitimate sister, for many days in a row, making her eyes red and swollen, in the end her legitimate sister used her contacts to help her, and so the matter was resolved quickly and decisively.
