Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 113
~End of chapter 112
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.”
Chapter 113
(44.3)
“Hongyu, in the future, when you coax the child to sleep, you should be more careful.”
Née Qin’s heart trembled, but she calmed down her mind and expression, and said word after word woodenly: “If the master wills it, this servant is willing to sacrifice this child to the gods, to pray for master’s smooth road ahead.” It seemed that the child was not important to her at all.
The young teenager smiled, a very rare occasion, but gently and slowly refused, “No need.”
She heard Xi Xian crawling on the side of the bed, and that very innocent and small cry.
“Mother ah, Xianxian is so sleepy ah ……”
In the next instant, Xi Xian could no longer see the teenager who seemed to be in the darkness.
The little girl blinked in confusion, her eyelids so sore that she couldn’t even keep them open, but she saw her mother walking under the moonlight, sternly educating her, which she did not often do, “How come you are not sleeping? It’s the middle of the night, what if you end up catching a cold?”
Feeling wronged, Xi Xian closed her eyes and then her mother picked her up from the windowsill.
Née Qin’s voice was still as gentle and watery as ever, but in the darkness of the night it seemed like a cold and boneless snake, “Be good, don’t make mother worry.”
??……
Née Qin, or Hongyu, even in death would never have imagined that the then thin and thoughtful teenager supreme Lord would fall in love with her daughter many years later.
Her daughter’s birth was not simple at all, it could even be said that it was the key point to get to a certain secret, that was why she had gotten pregnant with Xi Xian.
Xi Xian was like a tool that was born out of necessity, not out of love or coincidence, but just a little life born out of objective and cold-blooded calculations.
Regarding her birth, the late empress just told Hongyu to take good care of the child because she was innocent, but the crown prince, when Xi Xian was a child, gave an order, if Hongyu couldn’t keep the secret and let Xi Xian know too much, he would kill the child.
If Hongyu couldn’t do it herself, someone else would, and the result would be the same.
However, the person who finally ended up falling in love with Xi Xian was also him.
Even now, the one who held this young girl in his heart and could not bear to hurt her at all, letting her overturn the sky and the earth, was also him.
Hongyu sometimes couldn’t quite understand the man’s mind, he was so cold and harsh, yet towards a soft and delicate little pet, he would have a never seen before tenderness.
It was not that he didn’t think of killing her at that time, he even wanted to start a killing spree, but the crown prince didn’t choose to do that in the end, so he ended up getting a real secret.
Xi Zhengqing was really a cunning fool.
Now that old man was under her firm control, most of the time, he feared her like a snake or a scorpion, but in front of people, he still had to pretend to be a dignified old master, but he didn’t even dare to remarry a main wife.
Née Qin did not have any sense of accomplishment regarding this kind of thing.
She had been educated to be like that since she was a child. Those delicate women in the backyards or those young masters dressed in fine clothes and jade, she could kill them with just a flick of her hands, and the reason she didn’t do so wasn’t because of love or anything else.
It was just that her master didn’t allow it.

Xi Xian stood in the courtyard, wearing a thick and simple cloak, her black hair was pulled back in a casual and messy manner, her face was bare, white and cold, as if she had discarded everything that happened in the past.
Née Qin somewhat found it incredible that such a thing could happen to her daughter.
She was unable to accept her daughter being with the supreme Lord, but that didn’t mean she could accept her daughter wanting to become a nun.
She had been hoping everyday recently, her only hope was that Xianxian could become more sensible, and stop thinking about things that she shouldn’t be thinking about.
Being the supreme Lord’s woman was not an easy thing to do, not to mention the fact that Xi Xian came from the Xi clan, that would be even more difficult.
Née Qin’s only hope was that Xianxian could live a smooth and stable life, but she never expected that her daughter’s thoughts went beyond what she had thought, that she unexpectedly did not even want her “mother” and younger brother anymore. This really astonished her.
Xi Xian was still no different from before, she just looked like she had grown up a bit.
She invited her concubine mother inside to drink tea.
White smoke floated out of the pot, while Xi Xian examined her birth mother through the light strands of smoke.
Her concubine mother looked much better than before, she was no longer haggard and worried and cautious, but instead she had more of the gracefulness of a noblewoman, and more importantly, her concubine mother no longer had that look of fear and trepidation that she had all the time.
This made Xi Xian feel satisfied, at least even if she left, her concubine mother would still be strong.
Everyone had a destiny that belonged to them, so her decision to leave this profane world would not change because of her concubine mother, just like when the old matriarch threatened her with the future of her concubine mother and brother, she would not be moved.
It was her own path, and she could only walk it by herself.
