Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 2
Chapter 2
(1.2)
Xi Xian did not know how, but later she caught the eye of her legitimate sister.
Her legitimate sister kept her by her side, for her own good on the surface, but in fact, she was ordered to wait on her everyday, serving tea and water, massaging her legs and reading books for her. Once, she said a few extra words to her elder brother’s classmate, maybe because she had put on her face a bit of makeup and looked a bit more beautiful, that classmate looked at her in bewilderment.
Following that, her legitimate sister did not show her a good face for several days in a row, and did not say a word to her.
She didn’t understand why her legitimate sister was so mean, but she got used to this kind of life, so much so that when she entered the palace, she also meekly submitted herself to whatever treatment she received.
Su mama was walking ahead, she talked about the things that she had to be aware of in the residence while taking a few glances at Xi Xian.
This girl looked charming, her skin was white like transparent crystal, her waistline was soft and slender, she looked like her mother, she had a pure face, but her body was born with seductive charms, even though she wasn’t yet grown up, her face and eyes already were full of seductive water.
Fortunately, that sixth miss was extremely courteous, she knew everything about etiquette, even trivial details, and did it elegantly without making mistakes.
Back then, Xi Xian was young, it was her concubine mother who had taught her etiquette, so inevitably, her every move carried the aura of a low birth. However, she had lived in the palace for many years in her past life and was personally taught by the emperor himself, so after being reborn, naturally there wouldn’t be even a slight mistake in her conduct and behavior.
Since her childhood, her concubine mother told her that she was the daughter of an eminent clan, that she was a lot more noble than the daughter of the Lu family, their neighbor across, on the Qingliu lane. She had learned to play the qin and chess, she had learned calligraphy and painting, and also learned to conduct herself elegantly. Xi Xian did not know anything at that time, but she did as she was told.
However, she later found that all the discipline and manners she relied on, were not enough in front of her legitimate sister.
Her legitimate sister didn’t speak much, but her eyes were always clear, with a sharp alertness that could see through everything. Talking too much in front of her was wrong, and only working a lot was right.
It seemed that today was different.
The door of her legitimate sister’s main courtyard was open, and she unexpectedly even received her.
Xi Xian was a little surprised, in fact, she had long since made plans for herself, if her legitimate sister wouldn’t see her today, then she wouldn’t come and pay her respects to her every day, licking her boots, like she did in her past life.
It was fine not to have this kind of backing at all.
Her legitimate sister was having her meal when she entered the courtyard, Xi Xian washed her face and mouth in the outer room and was then brought in.
As a rule, one didn’t speak while eating, nor sleeping. Her legitimate sister did not speak, and she also just sat silently across from her, with her eyes downcast, remaining silent.
The atmosphere gradually became frozen, but Xi Xian was used to it.
In her past life, her legitimate sister liked to give her the cold shoulder, sometimes she ordered her to sit for a few hours, and she obediently sat straight like a ramrod like this, while her legitimate sister did not say a word, with a gaze so gloomy it was terrifying.
Xi Xian couldn’t understand it, even if her legitimate sister suffered the death of her mother, she did not have to be so cold and gloomy.
Her legitimate sister finished her meal quickly. She did not hear the sound of a cup, and after a pause, a hand appeared in Xi Xian’s field of vision. With long and well-defined knuckles, it was a very good-looking hand, that belonged to her legitimate sister.
Her legitimate sister took a handkerchief and slowly wiped her hands, and spoke in a flat voice: “Your name is Xi Xian?”
Her legitimate sister’s voice was always a bit hoarse, it wasn’t delicate and weak like the voice of a young lady, it was more like an unrestrained, soft music, and the more she grew up, the better it sounded.
When Xi Xian was not so afraid of her, she loved to listen to her legitimate sister’s voice.
Xi Xian was startled, and she bowed her head. She gently said, “Mmh”.
From her legitimate sister’s point of view, Xi Xian only revealed a delicate neck, with loose strands of hair falling beside her ears, looking extremely uneasy.
Her legitimate sister smiled, and her long, slender knuckles knocked on the edge of the table to make her look up. She slowly asked, “You’re very afraid of me?”
Xi Xian’s heart trembled, and she said softly, “No ……”
Xi Xian met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling.
The color of her legitimate sister’s eyes was very dull, which made her look abnormally dominating. During her last life, when she was punished by kneeling outside the courtyard, her legitimate sister also looked at her with that kind of look. Like a cruel superior looking at an ant, without any care, nor concern whatsoever.
Her legitimate sister did not pursue the matter, and only said slowly: “There isn’t any empty courtyard as of yet, so I can only trouble you to live with me.”
Xi Xian only felt it was strange and unusual in her mind.
In her past life, she had not met her legitimate sister for a long time, and because she was conscious of her low status, she was restricted by her concubine mother to the small courtyard every day, and could not go out. Although she wasn’t slighted regarding food and accommodation, but she lived a very suffocating life.
But in this life, her legitimate sister unexpectedly was asking her to live with her.
