Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 32
Chapter 32
Li Yu coughed lightly while looking at his nose.
Xi Xian felt again that she was too useless, she secretly hated her legitimate sister in her heart, as she bit her lip. Taking two steps back, she ran away while lifting the corners of her skirt.
Xi Heng, playing with the chess piece in his hand, lifted his eyelids and opened his lips: “Let’s continue ah.”
Li Yu: “………”
Now Li Yu knew, the fact that the crown prince was staying in the Xi family, he didn’t know the deeper reason, but at least part of it was for that little lady he just saw now.
It was obvious that he had good feelings towards her and wanted to keep her for himself.
Pulling so tightly on the crown prince’s heartstrings, this girl would at the very least become a favorite concubine of the eastern palace in the future.
(TL’s note : the eastern palace is the crown prince’s palace)
But even if he liked the person, how could there be such a way of liking?
Li Yu really couldn’t deal with this.
Although he was an ordinary man, he had the identity of being the crown prince’s dependent, so there were many things that he needed to do. Such a young girl, he really couldn’t put her in his heart, even if at the beginning he regarded her as a girl, now he regarded her more as a female master.
At this time, Xi Xian returned to her room, and saw her concubine mother coming out with her protruding belly, Chun Cao quickly went forward, and helped her concubine mother to slowly sit on the chair.
Her concubine mother was prone to being sleepy ever since she became pregnant. Usually, she should already have washed up at this point, but today she was still waiting for her to return.
Xi Xian couldn’t help but feel guilty, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Yiniang, go and rest, how come you’re still waiting for me at this time?”
Née Qin sighed, with concern in her eyes, and slowly shook her head. She said, “Let’s not mention the fact that you’re the child I gave birth to, what’s wrong with your eyes, did you just cry?”
Xi Xian served water to her concubine mother and looked at the white smoke coming out of the pot, as she slowly replied: “No, it’s just that the wind blew on my eyes, and it blinded my eyes.”
As Xi Xian said so, she brought the water to her concubine mother, and carefully helped her concubine mother to lie down on the couch.
Née Qin smiled and said, “You ah, your eldest sister often invites the doctor to come treat me, and I’m very clear about my own body, everything will be fine.”
As née Qin said those words, she held her hand. Fines lines appeared at the corner of her eyes, as she sighed slightly: “Yiniang is really worried, after the New Year, it will be your coming of age’s ceremony…”
Xi Xian suddenly had a headache, she helped née Qin to get up and wash, before saying: “Yiniang, you don’t have to worry about any of this, naturally someone will take care of it for me.”
That being said, her concubine mother still told her to get closer to her legitimate sister. The old matriarch of the Xi family, née Zhou, didn’t ask about family affairs. She also didn’t often see the master (i.e. Xi Xian’s father) and didn’t care too much about her grandchildren. She only saw Xi Xian a total of two times, and every time her face was kind but indifferent, as if fasting and chanting sutra was the only important thing.
It wasn’t like Xi Xian didn’t try to think of a way, she had tried to serve her closely, but it was like a stone falling into a deep pool, without the slightest response.
Under such circumstances, Xi Xian also knew that if she wanted to have a way out, she could only climb on her legitimate sister’s branch.
But her goal was different, she no longer wanted to get any benefits from her legitimate sister, as long as her legitimate sister did not make trouble for her, she would be fine as long she could marry someone.
As for Li Yu, in Xi Xian’s opinion, it was too early to give up now.
She admitted that she was not a good person, but if she could marry Li Yu, she would not do worse than others, but on the contrary, she would cherish her hard-won marriage.
Xi Xian was willing to stay in a small backyard, to serve her husband and educate her children, and see her descendants flourish and prosper, wishing that person great achievements, that his name be remembered in history, and that they all rejoice in their lives, and all follow their long-cherished wishes.
Therefore, compared to marrying a rich party whom she didn’t know, Xi Xian thought that Li Yu was better, for she knew his temperament was noble and honest, upright and not twisted. She also knew that he had not married a wife in his past life. No matter what the reason was, even if Li Yu had homose*ual tendencies, Xi Xian was willing to accept it.
Because what she asked for was never love.
Not two days after, her concubine mother began her labor in pain.
Xi Xian was sitting outside. She still remembered that day in her past life. Her palms turned cold and sweaty, and the person was sitting, in a daze, in front of a daughter’s wall.
(TL’s note : there’s some kind of poetic phrase in Chinese which doesn’t translate well in English)
The moon was silent outside. It was unknown where her father was wandering at this time. She saw the people in the delivery room coming out with fabrics, and copper basins full of blood-colored water. In the moonlight, it looked strange, beyond belief.
