Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 27
~End of chapter 26
Xi Xian wanted her legitimate sister to spoil her like she was her own little sister.
Xi Xian immediately went forward and hugged the waist of her legitimate sister, while rubbing her soft white cheeks on her, she sullenly said: “Sister, before, it was all Xian Xian’s fault, please don’t blame Xian Xian anymore.”
She squeezed her eyes, and then a few tears fell down, wetting her legitimate sister’s clothes. Her thin shoulder blades were also trembling slightly, wrapped in the quilt, she looked like a shivering dumpling.
Her legitimate sister’s waist was very hard, but also very narrow, Xi Xian slowly raised her face to look up, and saw Xi Heng’s dark eyes gazing at her, while his long and cold fingers covered her neck and suddenly lifted her up, throwing her back onto the bed.
Chapter 27
(10.2)
Xi Xian was like a rabbit who had been lifted by its long ears, she moved her legs, cowering a little.
She opened her eyes wide, and her tears immediately rolled down her cheeks, as she said softly, “I’ll just leave if you want me to, no need to be like this.”
But Xi Heng stopped her and said flatly, “You wanted to sleep with me, did you not? Are you regretting it now?”
Xi Xian bit her lip, looked at her legitimate sister innocently, and shook her head foolishly.
The candle flames were extinguished, and Xi Xian slept inside while her legitimate sister slept on the outside of the bed. The curtain on top of the bed was embroidered with intricate patterns, that looked like a spider web in the darkness.
They were both covered with two separate quilts, and no one spoke a word.
Xi Heng’s posture never changed, as if she was avoiding her out of disgust, as if she was not prepared to pay any attention to this annoying sister.
Xi Xian gritted her teeth, twisted her body to get out of the quilt and pulled on a corner of her legitimate sister’s quilt with her fingers, muttering in a whisper: “Sister, sister, I still can’t sleep.”
Xi Heng was silent.
Xi Xian’s words were soft and naive, and she curved the corners of her lips in the darkness as she said: “Let’s talk for a moment, we are sisters, but we have never talked heart to heart, I have a lot of things I want to say to my sister.”
Xi Heng ignored her, but also did not tell her to shut her mouth, so it instead encouraged her insolence and fueled her courage.
So, Xi Xian just cared about herself and started talking.
“Since I was a child, I have lived in a small courtyard, and I always thought that I was a legitimate miss of a proper household, but the Luo family across Qingliu lane used to always look down on me and my Yiniang, and in the summer, they even poured excrements on our door, and they even paid money to hire beggars to wander around the lane every day, if not for the fact that daddy sometimes came back, we wouldn’t even dare to go out the door. ”
No was paying attention, so Xi Xian continued to say: “At that time, I didn’t understand why, but when I grew up, I found out it was because my mom is an outside mistress, that is even worse than being a concubine…Therefore, they all looked down on us, thinking that having any interaction with us mother and daughter was a filthy and condemnable thing.”
“Tell me, what on earth did I do wrong ah?” I haven’t done anything bad, I just want to live life well…”
Her tone was carrying a slightly powerless sorrow and was softly shivering.
But Xi Xian’s eyes were bright in the dark, the corners of her lips were happily curved, while her voice was depressed and sad.
As she expected, Xi Heng finally spoke, with a little hoarseness in the voice: “People should look forward, don’t punish yourself for the mistakes of others.”
Xi Xian’s smile became even bigger, the corners of her eyes slightly raised up, and her voice sounded helpless and fragile: “I don’t… I don’t have such a good state of mind as yours, fifth sister also looks down on me, the old matriarch has only met me a couple of times so far, and sometimes I feel like even you don’t like me either…. Sometimes I even feel…”
She paused, rolled her eyes slowly, and whispered, sorrowfully: “… I feel it would be better to be dead.”
The young girl’s voice was like a soft breeze, an illusion passing through Xi Heng’s ears.
He knew what kind of woman Xi Xian was.
She was soft and weak, with a heart that harbored many sensitive and dark thoughts.
He never thought about how the state of her mind was when she was young, he only remembered that, at that time, she was too young and beautiful, so much like a bird that wanted to break free of its cage. He went to great lengths to keep her confined, not allowing her to see the light of day.
But the Xi Xian, who became a young woman, was even more gentle and silent.
Her beautiful eyes were somber, even if she sat down in silence for half a day, she wouldn’t feel bored, when she laughed, she looked very cheerful and her cheeks and eyebrows would curve, but this was all fake.
It was not to reassure him, but to curry favor with him.
But then, so what?
All beautiful women lied, they would always say one thing and then do another, they could easily achieve their goal like this, but only because they were deliberately being indulged and shielded.
So he smiled slowly, and just said blandly in the dark: “You won’t be bullied anymore, and you don’t need to care about them either.”
Xi Xian blinked and said softly: “Then who is worth caring about ah? Are the people who treat me well worth me caring about them and reciprocating their care back?
Xi Xian rubbed against her legitimate sister’s shoulders and said softly: “Then I, in the future, will care for my sister all my life, because you are the one who treat me the best, I like my sister so much.”
Her legitimate sister didn’t answer her again, and even removed her hands aside.
Xi Xian bit her lip and slightly snorted in her mind.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, she sweetly fell asleep, while holding the brocade quilt, quite at ease.
Xi Xian felt that everything was under her own control.
