Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 41
~End of chapter 40
Xi Xian woke up from her dream, her face covered in sweat.
She saw the azure color of the canopy on top, and the auspicious cloud-like embroidery on it, while the daylight floated in through the curtains. She looked at her hands before slowly sighing with relief.
What happened in the dream was just the beginning of all the unhappiness, she didn’t understand so much back then, but she thought it through at the time, and felt that having children later would also be good.
After all, the emperor pampered her so much, she had to hold on to his favor, and if she was pregnant with a child, she wouldn’t be able to serve him in bed.
Chapter 41
(15.2)
When Xi Xian was a child, she was a very silly and naïve girl, with a sesame seed-like small thoughtfulness, but with bigger schemes than sesame seeds, she was not a good person, but she was far from being a bad girl, she was just short-sighted and foolish.
Xi Xian covered her eyelashes with the back of her hand, slowly inhaled, and exhaled out her depressed feeling, and then she gradually remembered what had taken place before she passed out. Her legitimate sister…. Her legitimate sister, she was crazy.
Xi Xian knew that the place where she was lying down now was not her own room at all, it seemed more like the old matriarch’s Shoukang courtyard, the wood was a little old, with a deep and elegant fragrance, it was a place that would make people feel at ease.
But it didn’t put her at ease.
Xi Xian began to think about what she should do next.
She couldn’t disobey her legitimate sister’s request, Xi Heng was really too insane, so much so that she couldn’t go against her at all.
She really couldn’t imagine that there would be a person like Xi Heng in this world, she didn’t care about her own marriage at all, and even coldly kicked away her original fiancé, yet she was being particularly attentive to the marriage of her little concubine-born sister, and even wanted to turn her into a perfectly packed and most perfect gift, as if she was doing her a favor.
Xi Xian knew that her legitimate sister was not her biological sister, she was a child born of adultery by the main wife, the stigma of shame in her father’s life.
This matter, it might be that her father knew about it, but he never revealed anything from beginning to end, and even indulged her legitimate sister, letting her do whatever she wanted.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and Xi Xian felt as if she had grasped something.
Even if the main wife was from a noble background, but with the kind of shameful bloodline that her legitimate sister had, at most her father would only let her live in peace. Yet, not only was he letting her live in peace, he was also giving her legitimate sister authority and freedom, which was a little strange.
Xi Xian felt that the identity of her legitimate sister was probably not so simple.
But after thinking about it again, it actually had nothing to do with her.
She didn’t want to get involved in those things, and even if she knew the reason, she couldn’t actually do anything to her legitimate sister.
Now, perhaps her only way was to choose to compromise and adapt to all changes.
She could go stay in the old matriarch’s courtyard, but on other things, she couldn’t ensure that she would be very clever and well-behaved… After all, her legitimate sister would not have the time to watch her every day, she just had to not be very cooperative, and even if she made a little spectacle, no one would dare do anything to her.
Just as she was thinking about this matter in a trance, the door creaked and was gently pushed open. A faint halo of light fell on the floor and wall.
Xi Xian looked sideways with vigilance, but she saw her legitimate sister standing in the light and shadow with a bowl of medicinal soup in her hand.
Her legitimate sister was wearing a light, purple-colored dress, embroidered with floral motifs made of gold threads on top, with pearls and gold beads to match the dress. There was an unspeakable luxury in her leisure. There wasn’t any jewelry in her pitch-black hair bun, it was only casually tied up and her large sleeves were loosely rolled up her arms. Her legitimate sister’s face pale carried tenderness, the end of her long eyebrows turned light.
Xi Xian shrank back on herself with some fear, grabbed the brocade quilt and whispered: “I ……”
But she found that her voice was a little hoarse, with a natural timidity.
Her legitimate sister, however, looked at her gently and slowly sat on the edge of her bed, putting the medicine aside casually.
Xi Xian seemed to have smelled a strange blood odor coming from the medicine bowl that somewhat entered into her nose.
Finding it a bit unbearable, she coughed a bit, revealing panic in her eyes, like a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered.
Her legitimate sister gave her a strange look, she slowly raised her long eyebrows and revealed an odd soft smile, “Xian Xian must have been too tired and ended up fainting.”
Xi Xian didn’t know what she wanted to say, she just shook her head somewhat helplessly, with some hope in her heart.
She endured the dryness in her throat and said softly, “No …… it was sister who forced me to faint, I really had a hard time. Please sister, please sister don’t force me anymore, alright?”
Her legitimate sister looked at her fixedly, slowly shook her head and reached out to touch Xi Xian’s cold white cheek, but Xi Xian shrank back in fear, as if she had been burned.
Her legitimate sister withdrew her hand and closed her eyes as she said softly and slowly: “I shouldn’t have forced our Xian Xian like this.”
“It’s all my fault ah …… As long as our Xian Xian lives a long and healthy life, I won’t force you to do anything.”
She smiled lightly and when she opened her eyes, her eyes were a very light color, which made her legitimate sister look very cruel, but also oddly sincere and tender. All these aspects intertwined together made her appear a million times stranger.
Her legitimate sister gazed at her and promised with a smile, “I can die, but our Xian Xian must live a very long life.”
She seemed like a stiff wooden puppet, that was speaking of a destiny that had been injected deep into her soul.
