Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 19
~End of chapter 18
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 ……”
Chapter 19
(7.3)
Time passed too slowly, tormenting people until they were about to go crazy, but her legitimate sister enjoyed this process.
Xi Yao’s face turned blue, she wanted to defend herself, but she did not dare to interrupt without permission.
After a long moment, her legitimate sister lightly said: “Every day and night, you will be wearing the same kind of clothes with needles, while copying 500 volumes of Buddhist scriptures.”
Xi Yao’s complexion suddenly turned pale and she knelt on the ground, her aqua-blue dress was like a blossoming flower laying on the ground, as she begged for forgiveness with a sobbing voice: “Sister, I didn’t do it, please don’t easily believe the words of others. I have been with you since I was a child, we ……” Xi Yao shook her head, her knees were too weak to get up, as if she had lost her soul.
Her legitimate sister leisurely sipped a mouthful of tea, Yan momo was already pulling Xi Yao’s arm, dragging her away half-forcibly. The hall fell into a dead silence all around.
Her father and the old lady would not interfere in her legitimate sister’s affairs, although it seemed strange to say it out loud, but in their family, it had been like this since childhood.
Her legitimate sister never used to care about these things, she spent most of her time in the Buddhist praying room inside the courtyard, it was said that she was fasting and chanting sutras for her late mother. She had a very good reputation because of it, but she just never showed her face too much, and never got close to anyone.
In fact, people who really knew her would know that whether a matter was fair or unfair, it made no difference to her, her legitimate sister did not like to have people chattering annoyingly and shouting.
When Xi Xian looked up at her legitimate sister, cold sweat was pouring down her face.
She swallowed her saliva and spoke gently: “Fifth sister is very good, she must not have done it, perhaps you should not punish her?” Her voice was light as a flying feather, not sincere at all.
Her legitimate sister looked at her with a smile, before curling up the corners of her lips and saying, “Sixth miss, you will also copy 500 volumes.”
Xi Xian was speechless for a moment and said with tears in her eyes, “Did Xian Xian do something wrong? My back hurts so much ……”
Her legitimate sister ignored her and continued to give her orders: “Come to the main courtyard tomorrow to copy the volumes, you should reflect on your behavior and clear your mind.”
Xi Xian took a deep breath, telling herself that if she didn’t endure such a small matter, then she would mess up the big picture, so she nodded with tears and said, “…… Alright.”
Back in her room, Xi Xian thought back on the matter. In fact, she had never expected that this matter would progress so smoothly.
Although she was not able to transfer the marriage on Xi Yao’s head, but she managed to have Xi Yao be fully punished.
Her gaze was slightly flickering, as she slowly touched her wounds, her expression looked gentle and calm.
Xi Yao had obviously done something, but someone else got rid of the needles in the dress. Her legitimate sister did not warn nor punish Xi Yao from the beginning, she just waited for her to go plead, only to refuse and mock her.
And yet, she still ended up decisively punishing Xi Yao.
Xi Xian once heard that people from noble clans often trained their pets with punishments and gifts, in order to create a unique meek and dependent pet.
The difference was that her legitimate sister was not so indifferent in this life, where she left her heart to ferment in sourness and resentment, left her to be bullied and humiliated by people to the point where she could hardly bear it.
Rather, she was as fast as thunder in taking care of things for her.
Xi Xian also knew, after her rebirth, her temperament was not as repressed and weak as in the past, perhaps that was also the reason why her legitimate sister had changed her attitude towards her.
But Xi Xian knew better, her legitimate sister was a very dangerous person, and she couldn’t let her guard down just because her legitimate sister wasn’t so appalling in this life. At the very least, on the matter of her marriage, she had to make sure that she could marry someone of her choice before she could relax a little.
Xi Xian was back in the room, her concubine mother’s belly was already very big, it made her feel alarmed just looking at it, but compared to her past life, her concubine mother’s complexion was much better, it was not as yellow and emaciated, she instead looked chubbier, and a smile was always hanging on her mouth.
Xi Xian did not tell her the full truth of what had happened, she only told her that she was going to her legitimate sister’s courtyard to copy Buddhist scriptures, and that she had offended her legitimate sister and had to go to the main courtyard tomorrow to be punished.
To her surprise, her concubine mother did not show any surprise nor fear, but only nodded with a light smile and caressed her temples, saying, “Be more careful in the future, don’t make me worry.”
Xi Xian also smiled and snuggled in her concubine mother’s arms.
The next morning, Xi Xian washed and dressed early in the morning to go into the kitchen to make cakes.
