Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 16
Chapter 16
(6.3)
In her past life, Xi Xian, feeling uncomfortable because of the needles, had gotten away from the banquet for a moment, and had seen this young master from afar.
At that time, she did not know that this second young master would very soon, and suddenly, pass away because of typhoid fever, so she had been shy and unable to speak, so much so that even when she got back home, her face remained red. Any discerning eyes could see that her heart had been moved, with her head down from shyness, and her fingers twisted around her handkerchief, and with her not saying a word.
Her legitimate sister had watched her with cold eyes, without saying anything.
But then the young master Xu died.
Xi Xian did not know how much this had to do with her legitimate sister, but it probably didn’t have anything to do with her, because her legitimate sister didn’t hold the young master Xu in high regard.
A few days after the banquet, her third sister, Xi Yan, told her that she had heard that this young master Xu was a drug addict and that he was addicted to women, so she told her to be careful.
Xi Xian did not believe it and thought that Xi Yan was on Xi Yao’s side, that she was deliberately telling her this to make her unhappy.
But then it turned out that perhaps Xi Yan had been right, because very quickly there were rumors that the young master Xu died suddenly while on the bed with a woman in a brothel house, his face had turned yellow, with dry lips, black and blue sunken eyes, he had died from overindulging in debauchery.
No, it was not one woman, but several of them.
But the news was very quickly suppressed, and then later, no one cared about it except Xi Xian.
Xi Xian did not know how Xi Yan heard such news in the first place and why she had to tell her, but now she felt a little sick to her stomach whenever she thought about the young master Xu.
Xi Xian took a sip of tea and silently lowered her thick eyelashes, without saying a word. Unexpectedly the mistress Xu talked to her: “Sixth miss Xu, what is wrong, is the meal not to your liking?”
Xi Xian’s face turned pale, and when she got up, the needles behind her back pierced her skin, causing a stabbing pain. But she smiled and walked closer, saying slowly, “It’s nothing, I was just thinking about something.”
The Xu’s family wife liked her, so she beckoned to her and said, “Come closer.”
As Xi Xian slowly walked up to her, her back and waistline felt even more painful, she suspected that the needles were now stuck into her skin by half, but this time she didn’t hold it in, her ankle turned weak and then she screamed in pain, as she fell softly on the ground, startling the Xu’s family wife. All the people beside who were having their meals paused.
The Xu’s family wife said with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Xi Xian raised her teary eyes, bit her lip, and shook her head, “Nothing.”
She wanted to get up again, but her arm was unexpectedly grabbed by someone, and she was lifted up like a baby, she heard behind her the cold voice of her legitimate sister, Xi Heng: “Mistress Xu, she has her period today and is not feeling well.”
The Xu’s family wife knew that Xi Heng’s maternal family was the Lin family, so she let it go, and only gave them a few concerned instructions before letting them go.
Xi Xian was a bit lost, because the Xu’s family wife was not disappointed in her at all. This way she would probably have to be forced to be a widow again, so she started to struggle a little, but her legitimate sister’s hands were like cast iron, steady and unmoving, and she used a gloomy and gentle smile to warn her: “If you dare to randomly act again, I’ll break your legs when we go home.”
Xi Xian was afraid of having her legs broken, she knew her legitimate sister was capable of doing such a thing, so she changed her face, and no longer dared to make any move, just like a quail.
Xi Yao, who was watching the joke, and Xi Yan, who never spoke much, followed behind them.
Her legitimate sister easily avoided the place where Xi Xian was stuck by the needles, and basically carried her all the way to the carriage, her hands were so strong that it was unbelievable, causing Xi Yao at the back to let out a laugh.
Xi Xian was thrown into the carriage. She lifted her sleeves with red eyes, and saw the deep red marks on her arms.
She had a weak constitution and was very unusual, whenever she was pinched, even just a little, her skin would turn red and swollen, so she lowered her eyes and slowly started to knead on her arm, regardless of her legitimate sister’s ugly face.
Her legitimate sister’s thin, cold fingers squeezed her jaw, forcing her to look up, she sneered: “I warned you, and I gave you a chance, but you didn’t listen. You would ruin your own reputation to frame others, you tell me, what are you thinking about in that brain of yours?”
Xi Xian, of course, couldn’t tell her what she intended to do, and was even less ready to reveal the cards in her hands so quickly, so she just innocently said: “I, I do not know what you are talking about. I am extremely in pain, like I’m being stabbed by needles……”
As she kept on talking, she could not help but shed tears. Xi Xian’s tears would fall very easily. She was also like this in her past life, as long as she cried, the emperor couldn’t bear to reprimand or punish her, no matter what she did wrong, he couldn’t bear to.
