Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 12
Chapter 12
(4.4)
Her legitimate sister sipped tea, before casually putting the cup aside. She muttered: “He’s but a lackey, he’s not worthy of you. Tomorrow come with me to the banquet, we’ll cancel this engagement.”
Xi Xian was a bit surprised, how could her legitimate sister say this?
At this time in their past life, they had only met each other a few times, and her legitimate sister was not interested in her marriage.
But without thinking about it, Xi Xian shook her head with a smile under the pressure of her legitimate sister’s cold and deep gaze and said, “This is my father’s order, and the matchmaker’s words, how could you do this?”
She didn’t want to cancel the engagement, she even wanted to dig a hole for someone to jump into.
Xi Xian found that it was very funny to be a bad person. In her last life, she had always shown restrain, and it absolutely wasn’t as comfortable and exciting as having bad intentions.
Her legitimate sister didn’t say anything, and just looked at her indifferently. She leisurely smiled: “Sixth miss Xi, you are too stupid to do anything, remember to use your brain more once in a while.”
For a moment, Xi Xian was a bit perturbed and embarrassed, as if her intentions were clearly displayed in front of her legitimate sister, so she turned a bit red from the embarrassment, feeling dejected.
She stared at the tip of her shoes while trying to retort back something, but she found that when a really smart person was in front of her, arguing back would be even more stupid.
Her legitimate sister, however, had the intention to gently let go of the matter, she just looked at her and said slowly: “Do not make me worry, do you understand?”
Xi Xian felt that these words were very strange, but she couldn’t figure out what was strange about it, and she blushed a little.
It was as if she was a little baby who didn’t know about the world, and had to covered by a bib to be fed.
Xi Xian pouted her lips while nodding softly, she said, “I won’t cause any trouble, don’t worry.”
Her legitimate sister did not comment and just smiled, she kneaded the middle of her eyebrows and told her to quickly leave.

Xi Xian did not care anymore about her legitimate sister’s opinion, because her legitimate sister was forever mean when she opened her mouth.
She began to plan how to dig traps for people.
Having been reborn, if she did not use the memories of the past life to take a small revenge, it would be time to immediately become a Buddha.
She and the Xu family second young master only had a secret engagement, because of the two masters’ close relationship, they only exchanged keepsakes, but there was no formal engagement contract, the Xu family only knew that she was the daughter of a concubine, so there were a lot of variables.
In her last life, when she went to the Xu family banquet, Xi Yao had ordered someone to hide a few needles in her clothes, wanting to see her make a fool of herself, so that Xi Yao could covertly expose the secret that she was the daughter of an outside mistress before, to make her lose her reputation and then lose her engagement.
Compared to the dignified beauty that concubine Wang and the other concubines had, their father preferred née Qin’s softness and timidity, besides née Qin was pregnant with a child. Even though Xi Xian was the daughter of an outside mistress, but her father loved her very much and was partial towards her.
Xi Yao was not happy about it, and out of jealousy, she hated Xi Xian.
At first, Xi Xian did not feel anything, but after getting off the carriage and walking a few steps, her skin through the clothes was poked by needles, but she still had to greet the Xu family’s wife and talk with her. Blood was dripping from her arms, but for the sake of her marriage, she had to endure the pain with a pale face.
Only later she found that her all her endurance had been meaningless, it was more like she had dug her own grave.
The second young master Xu died suddenly, and the Xu family insisted that she lives as his widow. Later on, although it was solved smoothly, but inevitably she was mocked by Xi Yao. At that time, Xi Yao had a haughty look when she accused her of coveting wealth, yet of being unwilling to remain a widow for her late husband, and that she was a disgrace to her sisters’ face and reputation.
Concubine Wang also did some pillow talk, encouraging her father to let her live as a widow. During this time, Xi Xian lived her most tormenting days, feeling like she was a good for sale, although her father loved her partially, but more he loved even more his reputation and his benefits.
At that time, Xi Xian realized. When she was a child, she and her concubine mother used to sit in the small courtyard to enjoy the coolness, her father would come with a new kite, they would eat summer cakes together, while her concubine mother leaned on her father. It was so pure and warm that she believed that all emotions in the world were simple and beautiful.
After she started to understand things, Xi Xian realized that she was only the daughter of an outside mistress.
When she left the small courtyard with her bag on her back, looking back at the vermillion door with the two old lanterns, she realized that it was all a sham.
She spent many years to think about it clearly. If back then she had married an honest man from a commoner’s family, with a strong family foundation, she might have been happy for the rest of her life, just like those days in the courtyard with her concubine mother when she was a child. A simple and down to earth life.
So, Xi Xian did not care about the great reputation among the noble circles.
With obstacles (to her reputation), she could stay away from the strife, and marry into an ordinary family. In the future, unless her father committed a capital felony that would condemn the entire family, otherwise nothing could touch her.
As for Xi Yao, since she wanted marry into the Xu family, she would fulfill her wish.
