~End of chapter 16

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.

Chapter 17

(6.4)

Women were made of water, and Xi Xian was the most clear and profound well water, it was possible to fish her up from the bottom with one hand, but that would not be interesting. The emperor would rather have her committing wrongs and have her cry, rather than to have her behave.

Her legitimate sister remained silent for a moment, her slightly cool hand slowly wiped the tears away on her face, and she commanded with a bland voice: “You’re not allowed to cry anymore. ”

Xi Xian thought in her mind “why should I listen to you, you vicious woman.”

Her legitimate sister let go of her. It seemed like her anger had inexplicably subsided a little. She coldly said, with some annoyance: “Take off your clothes so I can see.”

Xi Xian wasn’t embarrassed, they were both girls, there was no need to act embarrassed.

She was surprisingly very obedient and immediately took off her clothes while crying.

Her legitimate sister didn’t move from her seat, sitting still with a straight neck, there was a fine gold buyao hairpin in her bun, with slowly swaying tassels. The corner of her lips twitched slightly as she indifferently said: “You’re unexpectedly straightforward when it comes to undressing.”

There was still a river of tears in Xi Xian’s eyes. When she heard these words and looked up, her tears started falling down again, she remembered how terrible her legitimate sister was, while being busy with taking off her sleeves. She softly said: “I’m in a lot of pain……”

She turned her back, silver needles were half-pierced diagonally into her skin, crimson blood was dripping down from her creamy white smooth skin, the scene looked alarmingly sensual.

She cherished her life, so she had tied her clothes very firmly, she had just been pierced twice by the needles and it didn’t actually look so painful.

Her legitimate sister did not speak again.

When Xi Xian looked up, she saw her legitimate sister’s dark and cold eyes, that was looking at her with a flat gaze, seemingly not intending to help her at all.

Xi Xian froze, she slowly blinked in confusion, and bowed her back while begging her legitimate sister: “I can’t reach, sister, give me hand……”

There was some candid hesitation in her tone, and she softly bent her spine further, while looking at her legitimate sister with an inclined neck.

Her legitimate sister, supporting her jaw, calm and undisturbed, said, “Do it yourself.”

Xi Xian felt a little wronged, and relying on the hidden card in her hand, she refused to speak gently, as she said softly, “Sister ah, you don’t treat me like your own sister at all.”

Her legitimate sister slowly smiled: “Go ahead, say even more words of nonsense.”

Xi Xian had the sense to stop talking at once.

She twisted her arm, to try by every mean to grab the needles. She easily found the needle and hissed in pain. Gritting her teeth with a white face, she pulled the needles out, while slowly rubbing her skin with her long white fingers.

Her face turned red from the pain, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but her legitimate sister wasn’t looking at her anymore, and instead began to slowly turn the pages of a book, with her legs folded.

Xi Xian, resenting her legitimate sister’s insensitivity, said softly, “Sister, I am in a lot pain ah…… I don’t know who is trying to harm me, you must find justice for me.”

Xi Xian’s eyes contained tears, her legitimate sister smiled, and said slowly, “Has the sixth miss turned arrogant from being over spoiled, or does she think I’m easy to fool?”

Xi Xian knew that her legitimate sister was not that easy to convince. She had to make her happy in order to get what she wanted.

But she deliberately did not do so.

Xi Xian also smiled, while slowly and leisurely straightening up. She lowered her eyes on her body that was only covered by a dudou, her almond eyes flooded with softness as she said, “Sister, I haven’t done anything …… please, for the sake of our sisterly love, find justice for me.”

Xi Xian felt that with the wisdom and discernment of her legitimate sister, she naturally would know what this was about, even if she herself wasn’t aware of it, the possibility (that her legitimate sister wouldn’t know) was not high.

Her legitimate sister finally put down the book, but she said indifferently: “Properly put on your clothes, what kind of appearance is that.”

Xi Xian’s smile gradually disappeared, and then she softly lowered her eyes, the tone of her voice was calm and leisurely as she said: “You don’t want to help me?”

After properly tying her belt, she tilted her head and said, “How can you be like that?”

The young girl’s eyes were shining with innocent malice, as if, if she did not get her way, she wouldn’t let heaven and earth be in peace.

Xi Xian knew that things were not simple, her legitimate sister was not the kind of person who could be fooled just because her concubine-born sister acted pitifully and coquettishly, but she also wasn’t a person of integrity either.

She could reveal her secret, so that they could discuss on a high level.

This way, her legitimate sister would definitely have fear in her heart, and would at the very least quietly let this matter rest, and would not go as far as to hurt her. This way, the next thing she was going to do would be much more convenient, and her legitimate sister would not dare to hinder her.

If she was confident she could do this, it was also because her legitimate sister would not really do anything to her.

In her past life, no matter how much her legitimate sister despised her, treated her coldly and made things difficult for her, she never touched even one of her fingers, although the flesh that had been cut from her heart couldn’t be returned to her, but Xi Xian knew very well that her legitimate sister was not a completely heartless kind of person, and that was why she dared to have the intention to threaten her.
