Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 110
Chapter 110
(43.2)
Xi Xian sat there for a long time, right where her legitimate sister had been fishing, until Chun Cao and Qiu Feng realized in the early morning that she had disappeared and hurried out to look for her, only to find that Xi Xian had fallen asleep by the lake, her lips purple and bruised from the cold and sparsely wrapped in a cloak.
No one knew that Xi Heng had come, her legitimate sister seemed like a dream she had, and even in her dreams, she was indifferent like this.
Mean like this, cold like this, yet strangely reassuring.
She did not understand why, in the past, when she wanted to get someone’s love, it was always at her fingertips, even the most difficult man to get was also in the palm of her hand, treating her like the most precious treasure he was infatuated with, and she was quite proud of herself for it, but when she found that his hand was too ardent and burning, Xi Xian started to be disgusted, and wanted to shake off his hand and get away.
But she was never able to do so.
But in this life, everything was not going well for her, her legitimate sister loved and cared for her, but it was always as if she was not there, and when she was stopping here, she was detached and indifferent.
Xi Xian understood very well that she could not go on like this, she wanted to save herself.
She was no longer avoiding a certain man, she was just seeking a water-like state of mind, for only a truly peaceful person could get happiness and peace, and that meant putting aside the happiness of material possession and feelings, to find the true fortune coming from true clarity and innate understanding.
In the profane world, for a woman like her that was born with such insatiable greed, it would always be difficult to reach.
Wrapped in her cloak, she walked back step by step, slowly thinking things over in her mind, letting cold shivers and sleepiness spread all over her body.
Xi Xian fell seriously sick and couldn’t leave Huangjue Temple.
The old matriarch Xi had to invite a doctor to go up the mountain to come examine her.
She didn’t want to live, but longed for the will to live.
When the blue gauze curtain dropped down, sparse shadows sprinkled on the young girl’s pale face, the old lady Xi wearily looked at her little granddaughter while leaning on the side of the embroidered couch.
If it wasn’t for the crown prince’s demanding it, she probably wouldn’t care about this granddaughter.
She was old now, since the death of her daughter-in-law, she had lost the will to fight, thinking about it, it was strange, but she just wanted to worship the Buddha. Doing so the rest of life, how good would it be.
Later on, for the sake of the Xi family, the old matriarch was willing to educate Xi Xian personally, but in the end, she realized that Xi Xian was not the little girl that she had imagined to be, that would let others torment her.
She was weak and vulnerable, but her limits were unusually high, and whenever she was offended, the first thing she would do was to punish herself.
She put down the scriptures in her hands and silently chanted the Buddha’s name, when she heard Xi Xian’s faint moans.
“Big sister …….”
The old lady frowned.
“Don’t …… I beg ……”
The old lady only heard blurry words, Xi Xian’s sobbing voice was too pitiful, her face was burning red, and she would not wake up.
Pondering over it, she could only sigh and go out.
At night, Xi Xian was curled up on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, and her legitimate sister sat beside her, her cold hand covering her forehead and tucking in the corner of the quilt for her.
Xi Xian made whimpering sound with her throat, seemingly realizing that her big sister had come, she wanted to make her stay with her.
Her legitimate sister smiled hopelessly and fixed her messy hair behind her ears for her, revealing her bare forehead.
The side of the young girl’s face was still a little full and plump, and on closer inspection there were some tiny fluffy hairs, although she was a bit pale and pinkish, but she had a luster unique to a young body.
She was completely different from her previous life.
?
At that time, she was grown up, her makeup was exquisite and mature, she had learned what posture to use when tasting wine, how to smile with the most appropriate arc, just like an elegant noblewoman, though the shell was still hiding the soul of a capricious little girl, in the end, she would never admit defeat in front of anyone, and would compete with others to the point of making her spirit and body both become gloomy and depressed.
So the man decided that he could allow Xi Xian to be a little more capricious. She could even stay out of the palace for the rest of her life if necessary.
She could even marry a “husband” who was completely different from the emperor.
Who had different looks and a different temperament, but who only favored her alone.
That man would take her to the mountains to pick herbs and to walk barefoot through the clear streams, carrying her to sit on the branches of the trees, watching the distant golden red sunset slowly fall into the horizon, he would accompany her until old age, to live and die, and in the cold winter nights, under a red lamp, he would tell her stories of a long time ago.
Although that “husband” might not spend much time with her, he would give her everything she wanted.
Falsehood could also be true, and when falsehood lasted forever, it would become the truth.
