Chapter 18

(7.2)

For a proud legitimate-born daughter, whose maternal family was related to the emperor, and who had grown up with high honor and a golden spoon, her legitimate sister was born with too much, and most of what she had were things that other people could hardly ever hope for in this life. But, if her roots were refuted, then as long as she was human, she would be utterly wretched, both anxious and furious.

The faint pleasure in Xi Xian’s heart spread uncontrollably, just like after opening a door, the things she used to think were vicious had now become extremely interesting.

With innocent malice, she warmly said: “Sister, in fact, you should think about yourself occasionally, you know many secrets of the backyard, nothing is long-lasting, if one is too fair, one will be unable to live well.”

Her legitimate sister did not say anything, it seemed like she couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her, which made Xi Xian a little at a loss, like she had just landed a punch on cotton. But she still had to pretend that she was very calm, with her weak and innocent appearance, no matter what bad things she did, she could still pretend to be calm.

The carriage arrived at the Xi residence.

Her legitimate sister was fiddling with the string of beads on her wrist, and slowly opened her eyes, before saying in a slow and gentle voice: “Let me guess, sixth miss must have a bargaining chip in her possession.”

“Otherwise, with your timid and delicate nature, you wouldn’t dare to talk to me like this.”

Xi Xian’s eyes widened in surprise.

Her legitimate sister, using a soft and slow voice, commented with a smile, “You are timid by nature, and you do not like to cause trouble, and yet you still want to threaten me, is that right?”

Her legitimate sister raised her eyes, her sharp eyes narrowed slightly, as she moved a little closer to Xi Xian, until Xi Xian could smell the deep and profound sandalwood fragrance on her legitimate sister’s body.

Xi Xian’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she revealed a composed and shy smile: “What is sister saying, I do not understand anything.”

Only to see her legitimate sister’s thin lips curve up, as she said, with an oddly doting tone: “You are still so disobedient, what should I do with you? Hmm?”

Her legitimate sister’s lips overflowed with a cold smile, even if she had guessed very accurately that Xi Xian had a card in hand, she had no intention to retreat, this was probably the difference in their nature.

Xi Xian’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t say anything for a while, but her legitimate sister was already lifting the curtain of the carriage to go down.

She didn’t know what the attitude of her legitimate sister meant, but she didn’t dare to act rashly.

Regarding this matter, she hadn’t thought things through, the decades of separation from her legitimate sister surprisingly made her forget what kind of person she was. She was insane and crazy to the extreme, how could she be completely shackled by such a secret?

It seemed that only a verbal threat alone wasn’t enough.

Xi Xian, with an ugly complexion, followed her legitimate sister into the guest hall.

Xi Yao was already sitting in the hall, and when she saw Xi Xian’s complexion, she knew that she was definitely not very happy. With a hypocritical gentleness, she said: “Sixth sister, what is wrong, you look downcast, at the banquet I saw you had poor manners, in fact, it does not matter, you did not learn well in the past, from now on, as long as you’re willing to work hard to the right path, it will be fine. In the end, we are all father’s children, do not be too sad. ”

While Xi Yao was speaking, she took Xi Xian’s hand, and said: “Later, you come to my room, I will teach you, as long as you are willing to learn, no one is stupid and everyone can learn.”

As she spoke, she also looked at their legitimate sister, desperate to find some praise.

Xi Yan’s eyes followed their legitimate sister’s movements, remaining silent.

Their legitimate sister seldom made an apparition, sometimes for entire months, she wouldn’t see her sisters in the backyard. there were times when they would see her outside, at a banquet, but they had never seen her go to the banquet of a family of the level of the Xu family.

It was not that the Xu family was bad, but their legitimate sister was a little picky when she made trips outside, in the eyes of outsiders, she was spending most of her time praying the buddha and restoring her health, not involving herself with the profane world.

Naturally, only Xi Xian knew how ridiculous this rumor was, the profane and foul air surrounding her legitimate sister’s body was dense like hell.

Xi Xian was listless, Xi Yao grabbed her to talk, Xi Xian was uncomfortable and dejected, her heart was in chaos, she was breaking out in cold sweat from the fear caused by her legitimate sister, and was now as obedient as a quail, not even raising her eyes, with a slightly pale complexion.

After a long time, Xi Yao’s mouth was dry from speaking too much, and felt it was odd, the hall was surrounded by an eerie silence. That’s when she saw their legitimate sister, supporting her jaw, looking at her with a dark and icy indifference. It was unsure how long she had been looking at her, and after a pause, she slowly said: “You have said enough?”

With embarrassment, Xi Yao let go of Xi Xian’s wrist and politely said: “…… Yes.”

Their legitimate sister slackly hooked her slender fingers, hinting at Xi Yao to come forward.

Xi Yao didn’t understand, and Xi Xian also didn’t know what it was about.

Only the third sister, Xi Yan, appeared slightly surprised, she turned to look at Xi Xian, with a deep consideration.

Her legitimate sister’s dresses were always extremely luxurious, setting off her beautiful and high nose bridge. She had an unfathomable and calm face, but the smile on her lips was very cunning.

Her legitimate sister pondered for a moment, before saying with an elegant and polite smile: “Since you like to put needles in the clothes of other people, then you will be punished ……”
