Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 3
~End of chapter 2
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.
Chapter 3
(1.3)
Xi Xian didn’t want to live in that small courtyard she was already familiar with, but she didn’t want to live with her horrible legitimate sister even more, she would go crazy.
So she calmed down, pretending to plead, as she softly explained: “I’m well aware of my low status, I am not worthy of living with you, as long as there is some courtyard at the back of the residence where I can stay, I will not mind it.”
Her legitimate sister leisurely supported her chin, her light smile carried an unknown meaning: “Are you, bargaining with me right now?”
Xi Xian’s voice became smaller and smaller: “I’m not.”
Her legitimate sister stopped talking to her, only nodded her head and gave her orders, “Lead her outside, take good care of her, I don’t want to see such a thin and bony appearance again.”
The orders her legitimate sister gave were unquestionable, and no one ever dared to disobey.
Xi Xian gulped and refused, “I want to live with my other sisters. When father saw me last time, he told me to learn calligraphy and painting with my third sister and my fifth sister. So, please don’t make things difficult for me anymore.”
Her legitimate sister paused, slowly examining her, with a slightly dark gaze.
Xi Xian told herself not to be afraid, so she opened her eyes wide and looked up at her legitimate sister.
Xi Xian’s eyes were beautiful, they were a very pure black, the black was very distinct from the white, and they looked clean and innocent.
In her past life, when she looked at the emperor like this and begged him with a small voice to take her out of the palace to visit the temple, she was also like this. The emperor looked at her for a long time before finally nodding his head and promising her.
His fingertips were slightly rough, it was tingling when he lightly caressed her eyelashes, making her have to close her eyes, with a trembling heart. But the man lightly smiled right beside her ear and said, “My precious Xian’s eyes are too beautiful, I can’t bear for other people to look at them.”
He said these words and fulfilled his promise to her, but Xi Xian never dared to look at him that way again.
Although she knew that the emperor was a wise ruler and had never done anything absurd except when it concerned her, Xi Xian could not help but be terrified, for he was a little abnormally dark at times, not like who he appeared to be outside.
Her legitimate sister looked at her for a while, her face unexpectedly turned gentler, making Xi Xian break out in goosebumps.
She heard her legitimate sister giving her permission with benevolence, “Alright then, if you like it, you can live with them.”
But the look in her legitimate sister’s eyes carried a deep meaning.
Xi Xian did not want to cause any trouble, she had come back to life, and she was extraordinarily aware of the chance it was. She wanted to give her legitimate sister a taste of the sorrow and despair she had felt in her last life, but she did not dare to reveal her face too soon.
When Xi Xian reacted, she realized that her mind had been wandering again, she immediately blushed a little from the embarrassment. Lowering her eyes, she replied, “Thank you, elder sister.”
Her legitimate sister did not pay attention to her again, and only told the old momo to take Xi Xian away, and also ordered people to prepare some jewelry and furniture for Xi Xian.
Although the small courtyard had all the furniture required, but this time her legitimate sister had an extraordinarily generous attitude and was willing to prepare new ones for her.
Xi Xian guessed that perhaps it was because when she came back, after her rebirth, when she went to see her concubine mother who was seriously ill and met her father, she did not behave as panic-stricken and nervous as she did in her past life, with a lot of complaints that she did not dare say. In this life, she was a lot more dignified, although she still felt sad, but not one word of complaint came out of her mouth.
So, it might be that father had a favorable opinion of her and told her legitimate sister about it.
Since the chain of events only changed due to her performance, then perhaps her future fate would also be different.
Xi Xian, however, did not feel anything.
Because she knew that the Xi family’s belongings would be confiscated because of embezzlement within three years after her legitimate sister’s death.
She knew nothing of what happened back then, her father didn’t treat her and her mother well, their father-daughter bond was weak, but she still felt sad that the Xi family had fallen to such a state.
She knew a secret regarding her legitimate sister.
Her legitimate sister was not a child of the Xi family, they weren’t real biological sisters. It was very likely that the Xi family’s deceased wife gave birth to her after committing adultery. That was a big scandal.
Because her legitimate sister’s maternal family was also the current emperor’s family in-law, their family was unable to touch her, that kind of noble, big character.
She followed the old momo without a word, but there was a big scheme in her mind.
She was not afraid of her legitimate sister.
In this new life, as long as she used this secret as a card to threaten and bribe, if she used it properly, her legitimate sister would not dare to make things difficult and be as mean as she used to in her past life.
In this life, she would make her legitimate sister willingly find a husband for her as soon as possible.

The courtyard where Xi Xian lived was still the same as in her past life.
Yan momo smiled at her and said, “Sixth miss, this courtyard is close to the master’s main courtyard, so it will be convenient for you to move around in the future.”
Xi Xian nodded with a smile.
Because her mother, surnamed Qin, was an outside mistress, the Xi family wanted to save face. If it wasn’t for the fact that née Qin was pregnant with another child, she and her concubine mother would not have been allowed to enter the residence.
