Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 121
~End of chapter 120
Compared to the power she could get, the phoenix crown she could have, Xi Xian’s existence was simply worthless.
She even thought that later in the future, perhaps no one would know that Her Highness, the empress, once had a young girl in her heart, that she had protected that young girl like a powerful man, not letting her suffer, and wanting to let her live a life free of worry.
But at that time, her legitimate sister would already have her own crown prince, would have the emperor’s respect, although she and Lu Zongheng might not be in love, but they would be a couple evenly matched.
Her legitimate sister and Lu Zongheng might be the same kind of person, focusing on power and honor, with rigorous demands regarding love, but able to detach themselves and withdraw at any time.
Chapter 121
(47.3)
Xi Xian suddenly understood.
Hiding wasn’t the most useful thing, becoming ruthless like those two sc*mbags would be the most useful thing.
She was also capable of remarrying or having an extra-marital affair.
Perhaps it wasn’t appropriate to use these words, after all she had never really gotten married to anyone at all, but she felt joyful thinking like this, like the forbidden feeling of being unfaithful to those two, which was oddly soothing to her.
She really wasn’t suited to be a nun.
It seemed that the slightest ruffling of her feathers would reveal her perverse nature, and that was something that the cold, clear and peaceful Buddhist purity could not tolerate.
Her legitimate sister knew her better than she did, Xi Xian was not a Buddhist after all, she was a flower born in the vulgar world and raised in a withered soil, silent, deeply rooted and difficult to uproot, yet she still had the vain hope of becoming the pure snow on the snowy mountains.
What a ridiculously pathetic idea.
Once Xi Xian figured it out, everything just fell into place.
She chose to get married.
It was so rash and sudden, it might be her ultimate end. She was truly the most useless reborn person.
Xi Xian wanted to find out what kind of man she was going to marry.
Although it was possible that in this life, she would never see her legitimate sister again, but her legitimate sister still left Ziyu with her, but Xi Xian knew that her legitimate sister would not go back on her words, since she had said that they would never see each other again, so Ziyu was just a caretaker at her side.
That might be her legitimate sister’s only explanation and warmth for this unclear relationship.
Xi Xian asked about his family background, his appearance, and many other things.
Ziyu’s answer was very simple.
“He does business, he doesn’t have parents above him, no juniors below him, there’s only him.”
“His appearance is commonplace and regular, he is tall, his temperament is just a little wooden and he is slow of speech.”
Xi Xian did not believe it, how could he be a businessman with a wooden temperament?
As she saw it, he might be quite cunning.
She just wanted to know these things in advance, but how this person was in the end, in fact, Xi Xian did not care much, even if he had three wives and four concubines left and right, it did not matter to her.
Xi Xian then asked, “What’s his name?”
Ziyu paused, thinking that this miss was really a bit unreliable, she still did not know the man’s name after asking so many questions.
She replied, “Wang Cong.”
Xi Xian asked : “Which character for Cong ?”
Ziyu said, “The character for prince as the radical, and then ancestor as component.”
Xi Xian did not care much, and just nodded her head, having finished asking questions.
She just said to Ziyu: “Can you tell big sister, I really don’t want to get married so soon, can it be next year?”
Ziyu sighed: “After you agreed, the other side also agreed. Wang Cong will marry you as his wife at an auspicious time next month. It’s not easy for him to come from the south, and he still has stores over there to manage.”
Xi Xian’s heart began beating in her chest. For a moment she thought she had been too rash, marrying to a man she didn’t know the next month, a mediocre-looking merchant she had never met before, it sounded a bit strange.
Besides, her husband was a world apart from the two people she had loved in the past.
She wasn’t sure if she could accept it.
Zi Yu could see that her face was white from nervousness, so she tried to comfort her, saying: “This servant has not been married, but I heard that it’s nothing to be afraid of. He is someone the mistress chose for you, he will not dare to make you unhappy, you just have to live comfortably and at ease, and even if you do not want to consummate the marriage, that is all right.”
Xi Xian felt that this wasn’t very good, marriage wasn’t something where one could cheat like this.
Ziyu smiled, a rare occurrence: “This servant doesn’t mind telling you everything, his business and everything he has, it was the mistress who gave it all to him, how could he not treat with you respect?”
Xi Xian felt that this was even worse, this meant that she and her future husband perhaps would never have a day in their lives where they would open their hearts to each other.
But then again, she felt that it was not bad either, each of them was getting what they wanted
No matter what her choice would be, her purpose was the same.
Xi Xian was silent for a while and revealed a coy smile, her thick eyelashes covered her almond pupils, making it hard to see what she was thinking, “Alright, everything is fine by me.”
She no longer let her mind wander like a lonely ghost, she wanted to have a place where she could have peace of mind.

The tall and beautiful legitimate sister walked into the magnificent palace, and looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror for a long time.
When the sun began to set, she started to remove the jewelry in her hair, taking them off one at a time, her buyao made of emerald and gold swayed as she placed it in front of the black case, the light-colored pupils were covered by the woman’s soft eyelashes, but there was not the slightest expression on her face, like a stiff and cold dead body.
As the sun continued its slow descent, the legitimate sister’s movements were so leisurely and slow that it was beyond belief, but very quickly, she removed the trimmings from her face as well, like she was taking off a mask.
And underneath the mask was a similar face, but it was belonging to a man, angular and cold, with pale pupils that were an odd shade of blood, as if his soul had been torn in half.
Just as quickly, the man put on another mask on his face.
