Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 112
Chapter 112
(44.2)
During this time, Xi Yao got married. She got married in Jiangnan. There just remained Xi Yan that was still waiting to get married in her boudoir, but it was said that Xi Yan’s health was not good, her body was never in a good condition, so most of the time, she was sick in bed.
Since she went back home, Xi Xian had been shutting herself inside her room, had changed all of the food she ate into vegetarian food, and even the clothes she was wearing were plain and thrifty, but she did not have any unusual behavior, her conduct was extremely disciplined, but she lost some of her liveliness.
She seemed to be sincere, she took off all of the decorations and jewelry on her body, she no longer had that natural childishness to her, she suppressed the soft little hook she had in her eyes when she looked at people, and no longer wore any new luxury dresses and coats, just like an ordinary and simple nun.
It was as if she was already no longer expecting the future as a noble lady, so she no longer cared about those things anymore.
The old matriarch simply sighed when she looked at her.
Very soon, during the first snowfall, concubine Qin returned home, after a long and difficult journey.
This was the first time she had returned home this year.
In truth, she was no more than a temporary pawn for the supreme Lord, left unused in the Xi family. Ever since Xi Xian was eight years old, Xi Zhengqing’s secret had already been in the supreme Lord’s hands, so she had no greater use since then.
Her arrival had been an order of the late empress.
It could be said that this secret was very important to the empress and her side, and even the late main wife had gotten married into the Xi family because of that very secret.
It was only after the late empress’ death that the young crown prince took control of everything, including her loyalty.
Née Qin, as a spy who had been truly trained with the strictest of training, looked weak and thin, but in fact, those slender hands could easily break a person’s neck, and she could even do anything, cruel and unthinkable things, for her master, she could let warm blood splash half of her face, and not even feel anything.
She was someone without any self.
The motherly love she had for Xi Xian was fake in the beginning, even when she told Xi Xian about her birth, it was all false.
She did not regard the child she had given birth to as someone of any importance, because even she herself did not belong to herself, and in fact, even for her newborn son, née Qin was still unable to have a loving heart for him.
Originally, this child shouldn’t have been born, because there was no need for her to give birth to him, but the supreme Lord had ordered her to give birth to the child.
It seemed like an useless move, yet it made Xianxian this happy.
Yet only Xianxian accompanied this cold and hypocritical mother that she was through so many years.
So, that was the reason why Xianxian was so important to her, she was like the purest and softest place in her heart, although it was a place too small to hold anything, but it was the place that née Qin was the most reluctant to lose.
That place held images of Xi Xian as a child, the way she cried, the way she acted spoiled, and the way she wrote for the first time. Now the way she used to treat life with such indifference, as well as Xi Xian’s existence, shocked and made her feel at a loss.
She remembered that Xi Xian, when she was still young, and couldn’t sleep at night, used to climb on the windowsill to look at the stars.
But that day, the clouds were covering the sky, she could not even see one tiny bit of the bright moonlight, so the little girl was a bit sad, but in a blurry, she saw a young teenager in black clothes, talking with her mother under the tree, and her mother’s demeanor was docile and humble.
The young Xi Xian’s eyes widened in confusion, thinking she was dreaming.
Née Qin continued to tell all of the clues she had gotten from lurking around Xi Zhengqin for years.
The courtyard was clean, silent and cold, but there were many of the supreme Lord’s secret sentries densely packed around, but he did not care about that child by the window.
And the young teenager seemed to be pondering over something, his thin, clean palm was touching the trees, and his noble face looked sickly.
He would not speak his mind aloud, and his expression made people unable to guess about his true thoughts. Née Qin’s face was wooden and blank, like a puppet assembled with tight seams.
Regarding such a big matter, the late empress had used a lot of means yet was unable to get it, and even though the master was young, but he was extremely suspicious and meticulous, and would never allow the others to hear about that matter, so he came in person.
After a long time, the noble young teenager examined the spy woman under his command, stroked his jade ring on his finger, as the line of his lips vaguely curved, as if he was referring to something, he calmly said : “Hongyu, in the future, when you coax the child to sleep, you should be more careful.”
