Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 47
~End of chapter 46
At the same time, Xi Xian gained an additional layer of fear.
Her grandmother was not that easy-going of an old lady, she had heard how her grandmother used to fight with her son’s main wife in her last life, now that the main wife had passed away, her grandmother should not be so kind like a Buddha, yet she unexpectedly did not say even one word of blame, that couldn’t be ah.
Xi Xian was afraid that née Zhou would remember this matter in her heart, so she was even more frightened. Lowering her neck, she said, “Grandmother’s kindness to Xian Xian is unforgettable, I would like to copy Buddhist sutras for the old matriarch for the rest of my life, so that your mind can be free from worry and blessed with peace.”
Chapter 47
(17.3)
The old lady looked at the little girl and started to find her lovable, so she personally pulled her into her arms and said, “If you believe in Buddha, then you will be blessed, but you are not well, Buddha will not want you to aggravate your condition to copy Buddhist sutras, hmm?”
Xi Xian was even more puzzled, but she just laid in her grandmother’s arms, with downcast eyes. She remained silent, with the childish attitude of a little daughter.
The old lady stroked her fine black hair and slowly sighed, seemingly helpless.
Née Zhou just slowly said: “If you get married in the future, remember to come visit your grandmother often, remember the good children of the Xi family, grandmother would be satisfied with just that. Your father also treats your concubine mother with great importance, it’s just that before he could not bring her into the residence because of some circumstances, you have to understand that being the head of the family is not easy.”
Xi Xian felt that the old lady understood everything. She didn’t have to see anyone to be very clear about the minds of all the women inside the residence, she just never intervened.
Now she was telling her not to resent her father, and was even using a somewhat helpless pleading tone.
Xi Xian suddenly had the misconception that the old lady was not that much willing to raise her under her wings, that she would actually prefer to spend the rest of her life in the courtyard like she did in her previous life, without needing her children and grandchildren to entertain her, just wishing for peace for the whole family, and that now she had no choice but to take her under her wings, to find some way out for her, this unworthy granddaughter.
But the old lady had no reason to do so, so Xi Xian felt that she was overthinking the matter.
When Xi Xian came out of the old matriarch’s courtyard, she felt that her body was now relaxed. Then she thought of her legitimate sister, feeling that since she had now changed her mind, then she could not ignore her legitimate sister.
Her legitimate sister was leaning on the couch, with her eyes closed. She opened them slowly when she saw her, smiling slightly, not surprised at all: “Xian Xian is here.”
Xi Xian gave a slight salute to her legitimate sister and said softly with lowered eyes, “Sister, my Yiniang went to Jiangnan and asked me to go and spend some time in the old matriarch’s courtyard.”
Her legitimate sister looked at her with some interest and said gently, “What else?”
Xi Xian clenched her teeth and further lowered her face: “I have thought about it, I wasn’t mature enough before, I have contradicted you and the old madam, I beg sister to forgive me, for being too childish and insensitive.”
Her legitimate sister did not pursue the matter.
She just seemed very curious, her eyebrows lightly lowered, and she said slowly, word after word: “How come you’re relenting?”
Xi Xian thought about it and said cleverly, “Because I’m willing to believe in sister’s vision, I’m not young anymore, I’m about to reach adulthood, it’s good if I can get married early, so I don’t annoy sister all the time.”
Her legitimate sister nodded her head, tapping on her jaw with her long slender fingers, she said gently, “You want to get married early ah ……”
Xi Xian said softly, “Mmh.”
Her legitimate sister did not speak again, her light-colored eyes slowly scanned her and then she laughed, seemingly finding it very amusing.
Xi Xian’s eyes looked at her legitimate sister innocently, but then she saw her legitimate sister reach out and beckon to her. She gently stroked Xi Xian’s forehead, meticulously tidying up the loose hair around her ears, before pinching Xi Xian’s soft cheeks and saying, “So cute ah……”
Xi Xian was a little confused. She bit her lip, and didn’t say anything.
(18.1)
Xi Xian did not understand what was so cute about what she said, she was just cautiously stating her wishes.
But her legitimate sister withdrew her smile and her face turned cold. She just told her slowly, “Alright, it’s late now, go and do your filial duty with the old lady. If you have any difficulties, find Qing Yu, she will solve them for you.”
Xi Xian didn’t know what kind of difficulties she could find Qing Yu for, so she asked the question carefully.
Her legitimate sister, as if there was a deeper meaning in her words, said indifferently, “Anything is fine.”
Xi Xian thought to herself that this would not be possible. If she wanted to slap the crown prince, it wouldn’t be possible.
…… Even if she was given ten guts, she would not dare to ask so.
Xi Xian stared at her toes and said softly, “What about sister? Are you going to concentrate fully into worshiping the Buddha again ?……”
Her legitimate sister looked at her and said, “You can’t bear to part with me?”
Xi Heng’s voice was a little hoarse, with a very casual tone.
Xi Xian slowly blinked in confusion, suddenly remembering that in her past life, her legitimate sister had asked her similar words. She did not give her an answer, because she did not know what to say, so she lowered her neck, not feeling like saying coquettish words. And the very next day, her legitimate sister died.
This result always seemed to have some kind of strange and coincidental connection with the question that her legitimate sister asked her, and always made Xi Xian feel that it was her hatred for her sister, that it was her aversion for her sister, which made her sickly sister die like this.
It seemed to be an unfathomable misconception, but Xi Xian always had some inexplicable guilt and sadness in her heart whenever she thought of her legitimate sister’s gloomy and delicate face, and her desolate and detached appearance.
