Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 23
~End of chapter 22
Xi Xian looked up, and saw her legitimate sister walking in, with her long black hair loose and scattered. Her face was cold, with sharp edges. There was a very light red mole at the corner of her eye, which made her legitimate sister look a little evil.
Her legitimate sister inclined her head, and the maid behind her held out a sword box.
She looked coldly at the second young master Xu and slowly took the sword in her hand, with a thin, cold smile on the corner of her lips: “Let’s bet on the jade hairpin on her head.”
“As well as on your marriage.”
Chapter 23
(8.4)
The second young master Xu was stunned, “This ……”
Xi Xian also wanted to refuse.
Her legitimate sister was a girl, how could she compare with the brute strength of a man? Let’s not mention the what if, the probability that she was going to lose was too high, and Xi Xian did not want to take the risk.
Xi Xian pouted unhappily, and was about to get up and refuse, but Xi Yan pulled the hem of her skirt and coaxed her in a low voice, “He won’t lose.”
Xi Xian was so anxious that she didn’t know who Xi Yan was talking about, the corners of her eyes were red, and her body was tense and trembling all over.
(TL’s note : Xi Yan uses the masculine form to talk about their legitimate sister, and this time I kept it in the masculine form, because there is an ambiguity, for Xi Xian doesn’t know whether Xi Yan is talking about Xu Lishan or Xi Heng.)
Xu Lishan was flirtatious and loved women, but he was not interested in Xi Heng.
Because even though Xi Heng was the eldest and legitimate daughter of the Xi family, but her aura was too domineering and cold, standing there, she was half a head taller than him.
They were all teenagers, yet whenever the second young master Xu looked at Xi Heng he would feel depressed and timid, so there was no romantic interest to mention.
But Xi Heng proposed to compete with him, such words sounded like she wanted to get his attention. Thinking about it, he really had a great power of attraction for women, and as he thought so, he felt satisfied in his heart.
On the side, Xi Hui didn’t stop them, and just looked at Xi Heng with a slight disapproving look but seeing as he was being ignored, he could not help but rub his nose and laugh bitterly.
The second young master Xu wanted to show off, so he folded his hand in front of him and said gently: “I’ll let you strike two moves ahead, how about that? So that when you lose, you won’t be able to say that I’m bullying a woman.”
But Xi Heng laughed slightly, her voice was elegant and cold as she replied: “No need, I will let you strike eight moves ahead.”
The second young master Xu had never encountered such a person, so naturally he could not allow it.
As he glared at her, he saw the other party slowly wiping the sword sheath, it seemed to not have been used for a long time, the surface was covered with dust, but Xi Heng just slowly wiped it with her own hands.
He shook his head and said, “It’s not right for you to do this, I can tell at first glance that you don’t know martial arts, and you still want to let me strike first ……”
But he heard Xi Heng say carelessly, “Because this sword hasn’t been sharpened, so it’s not been used.”
Xi Xian also widened her eyes, she simply found it unbelievable, and her breathing also started to tremble, as if it was difficult to even stand by.
How could this be done?
Letting him eight moves ahead, then using a sword that wasn’t sharpened, her defeat would be inevitable.
Remembering all the events of her past life, Xi Xian could not suppress the malicious thoughts overflowing from her heart: her legitimate sister just did not want to let her live well, this vicious person.
Xi Heng seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, and flatly said: “Sixth miss, your eyes are about to come out of your sockets from all that glaring, pay attention to your manners.”
Xi Xian was so angry that the corners of her eyes turned red, and she pursed her lips, feeling very wronged. Gritting her teeth, she was about to leave, anyway there was nothing good to see here.

But Xi Yan stopped her, and she said slowly: “It won’t happen, he will never lose, sixth sister don’t get angry.”
Xi Xian only felt ashamed and weird, her almond eyes filled with tears, she pursed her lips not saying anything, and remained standing silently with her head down. Her hand was being held by her third sister, as tears dripped down her cheeks.
What kind of person was she? That her wedding would be something to bet on, if her legitimate sister lost, what would she do? She was not asking Xi Heng to help, she was just asking for her not to drag her feet.
In Xi Xian’s opinion, her legitimate sister was bound to lose, the second young master Xu looked like he had been practicing martial arts for years, his posture as he was holding the sword was extremely fitting.
In fact, the best swordsmanship Xi Xian had seen in her past life, was the emperor’s, the one who was still the crown prince today.
Every move and strike was clear and neat, his body was like wind and thunder, even if he didn’t add any fanciness to his moves, but his swordsmanship was still filled with fierce beauty.
While Xi Xian was crying, she became distracted out of nowhere. Xi Yan on the side couldn’t help but sigh.
The second young master Xu and Xi Heng were facing each other, the both of them saluted each other, the light breeze was swaying Xi Heng’s clothes, the advantage of her height made her look like she was standing from above and looking down at him, her long and icy-cold eyebrows raised, as the corners of her lips slightly curved. She said: “Xu gongzi, please.”
Xi Xian followed the crowd to the open space, the young beauty was in a slight state of confusion, her face was pale and delicate, there was an inclined jade hairpin inserted in her cloud-like black hair, making her look even more exquisite and soft.
She seemed like she was looking at something, her eyes looked they were full of autumn water, but in fact she wasn’t looking at anyone, she looked in a trance, very fragile.
The second young master Xu only took one glance at her, but he was stunned, his mouth slightly opened, and his red tongue could be seen.
On the opposite side, Xi Heng had a sinister smile on her face, as her eyes gradually turned cold.
