Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 123
~End of chapter 122
Xi Xian also did not remember how her third sister ended up in her past life, it seemed that for her, this memory was as thin as gravel, simply not even worth remembering, so she very quickly forgot about it.
Xi Yan just smiled, pulled Xi Xian’s hand and said: “I am too sick to get up, I can’t see you get married, I hope you won’t blame me.”
Xi Xian just shook her head and slightly lowered her eyelashes.
Xi Yan said, “It’s good to get married, it’s very good to get married, big sister hopes you’ll have a good life.”
When she said this, her eyes were crystal bright, as if she was having a long awaited beautiful dream.
Chapter 123
(48.2)
When Xi Xian came out of her third sister’s room, she felt physically weak as well.
Her health was really not good these days, and she would often lie in bed, with chills and fever, she did not seem like a young girl in her teens at all, but was the same as in her previous life.
Xi Xian thought that this might just be that the knot in her heart wasn’t untied yet, she felt depressed in her heart, no matter what, she could not be happy and her mind was also so very sensitive, if she went on being so sad, she would end up passing away very young.
So she began to yearn for marriage.
She wasn’t afraid of death, but no one would refuse a chance to live happily and at ease.
On the day of Xi Xian’s marriage, it was just the beginning of summer, and it was the first time she had ever gotten married in both of her lives.
In her previous life, Xi Xian had also secretly worn a wedding dress, which she had embroidered herself, stitch by stitch.
But she realized, the feeling she had when wearing the dress on her body was really bad, and later she stuffed that wedding dress at the bottom of a chest and never touched it again.
The embroidered patterns on the dress were not that exquisite, but they really depicted the hope she had for marriage.
In this life, Xi Xian didn’t finish embroidering her wedding dress by herself, she just touched it two or three times, and then handed the dress over to the embroiderer. In a trance, she felt that her dress looked very similar to that one in her last life. Xi Xian did not remember too clearly, and just felt that her thoughts were really ridiculous.
Because what she was hoping for was no longer to marry a good man who she could open her heart to, to love and to be loved.

Xi Xian didn’t know how that day’s events came to pass.
Her concubine mother stayed in the Xi residence and never left a step.
Xi Xian had been hoping for a long time, but in the end never saw her legitimate sister.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she had an exquisite deep red wedding dress, a neckline that was revealing a delicate and slender neck, and a pair of melancholic eyes that were aimlessly hoping for future happiness.
Wearing a red wedding dress, she wanted to see her legitimate sister.
At the very least, she wanted her big sister to cover her head with the red veil and kiss her forehead gently at the end, wishing her a lifetime of success and happiness.
She knew that her legitimate sister was cold-hearted, and that she could never have such thoughts again.
Her concubine mother was not the main wife, but since this wedding was so simple, so she was able to send off Xi Xian away herself.
Née Qin was not sad at all, she was just worried because her daughter did not know anything, and was only afraid that Xianxian would make a mess of everything.
Although Wang Cong was also a native of Chang’an, but actually, the place he lived was far away from Chang’an.
The Xi family’s residence was already not in what could be considered a good location, and the place where Wang Cong lived was on the outskirts of Chang’an. Most of the people who lived there were ordinary merchants or rich families, and Xi Xian had never been to that area in her life.
It was a place only for the common people, and the roadside was filled with the crude smell of food and people yelling.
As for high officials, there was not a single one living there.
She heard that when you walk out of the mansion, you could see the green and blue scenery of Huangjue Mountain from afar, with vibrant life in the spring, and early in the morning you could hear the birds singing freely.
Xi Xian thought it was very good, her husband wouldn’t be often at home, and she would have the company of the birds, it sounded very comfortable, better than being a nun.
She was wearing a red veil and was carried out of the carriage.
The person who carried her was a slender and tall man, wearing black boots. Lowering her eyes, she could still see the corners of his deep red and gold embroidered coat, but it seemed that the force of the man’s wrists was a bit heavy, which made Xi Xian feel uncomfortable.
She then thought, this husband of hers, perhaps was a little clumsy.
She held one end of the red silk, while the man held the other end. He did not have parents, and couldn’t be bothered to invite his relatives, and only invited two or three friends, so the two just simply and quickly knelt before heaven and earth, and got married just like that.
This was also what Xi Xian wanted.
Since she was marrying someone she didn’t like, she prepared herself to endure many things she didn’t like, but she found that all those processes made her feel very comfortable and didn’t make her feel scared nor panicked.
Since not many people were invited, they quickly entered the bridal chamber.
Xi Xian saw the man’s hands, they seemed a bit rough, but his bones were slender and clearly well-defined.
He must have, once upon a time, done a lot of menial labor.
In her mind, she depicted a pitiful and diligent son of a poor family willing to climb up the ladder at all cost.
The man’s hand on the wedding veil lifting cane was a little unsteady, and it took two attemps for him to lift the red veil.
Xi Xian heard the sound of the feast slightly clearer, she slowly looked up, and saw a face belonging to a young man.
His looks were ordinary, but his eyes ere as bright as the light of snow in winter, cold but about to melt.
He smiled, a little shy and silent.
Xi Xian didn’t know what to say and lowered her head once again, her heart not having a single beat.
The matron of honor waited for them to drink the nuptial wine, then left with the maids, leaving the newly married couple alone in the room.
