Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 50
Chapter 50
(19.2)
Her legitimate sister was now confined, and not seeing anyone, she heard that a high monk from the temple had been invited to correct the Buddhist sutras she wrote. The Xi family’s eldest legitimate daughter was obsessed with Buddhism, it was a news that all the noblewomen in Chang’an had heard of, so even if Xi Heng became a nun in the future, no one would find it strange.
But the fact that the Xi family was allowing her to do so revealed how high of a status Xi Heng, the eldest legitimate daughter, had in the Xi family. Even the old lady was not correcting her legitimate sister’s behavior.
Whenever Xi Xian mentioned her legitimate sister to the old matriarch, the old lady always laughed and at most, she would say, “People have their own destiny, your sister likes it, so let her be.”
(TL’s note : the old lady actually uses the masculine form here to speak about Xi Heng)
Xi Xian was even more sure that her legitimate sister’s identity was not ordinary.
During the past life, her fifth sister Xi Yao with whom she used to always fight, during this period of time remained very well behaved, there was almost no movement on her side, which was a great relief to Xi Xian. After all, no one liked to always meet and talk with someone annoying, who was hiding needles in her clothes, how tiring ah !
Xi Yao had already been punished for her bad intentions, her legitimate sister always kept her words, she wanted her to wear clothes with hidden needle inside while copying sutras, and had no intention to spare her, so there was no need to mention the pain and suffering she was going through right now.
Xi Xian saw her in the garden two days ago, but she was much thinner. She silently lowered her head and brushed past her, not saying a word.
Xi Xian turned her head to look at Xi Yao’s back, but she only slightly tilted her head, there was no regret in her heart.
Xi Yao’s schemes were not high-level, Xi Xian framed her in order to counterattack, naturally, the two people’s level of schemes wasn’t far apart, but about the same.
Yet they both thought they were great. But, if it was not for Xi Heng, who intervened to pull Xi Xian up, it was unsure who would be the one being miserable now.
At that time …… Xi Xian and her legitimate sister had not met each other a lot, it couldn’t be said that they were familiar with each other, yet no matter how mean and mocking she was, she still helped her, and remained indifferent towards Xi Yao.
Xi Xian was a little proud inside her heart, and she slowly sighed.
The affinity between people couldn’t be determined according to the length of time spent together. In the end, sure enough, Xian Xian was the most liked one.
Xi Xian shook her tail, which did not exist.
Since the day the last time they parted, they had not seen each other for a few days, Xi Xian had the time to go visit her with pastries, but in the end she could only turn back after drinking tea, without seeing the shadow of her legitimate sister, so she gave up like that.
Her legitimate sister had instructed Qing Yu to serve her. Every time Qing Yu remained very professional but she never got intimate, she even said to Xi Xian: “If the sixth miss really has no urging matter, then there is no need to come to this courtyard to drink tea, this is a waste of time.”
After saying this, she removed the tea cup, and asked her to leave. Xi Xian felt a little puzzled, how was visiting her sister a waste of time ?
Qing Yu herself certainly would not dare to say this, and thinking about it, this tone was the one her legitimate sister was used to use.
Xi Xian could not help but roll her small white eyes, biting his lips as she left. She never went to look for her legitimate sister again for the next few days after.
Anyway, her legitimate sister was unpredictable and had a mean and spiteful mouth, she was not going to wait upon her then.
She would come to her when the time comes. Was there a reason for one sister to rush to make friends with the other, while the other sister was treating badly the other one like this ?
Very soon, the day of the birthday banquet of the old matriarch of the Duke of Su residence arrived. The old lady took Xi Xian out to the banquet with her.
The night before, the old lady talked to Xi Xian about some affairs of the Duke of Su’s residence.
But in fact, Xi Xian was not unaware of these affairs, and she knew no less about them than the old lady.
The previous empress died young, so the crown prince was without a mother since birth. After ascending the throne in his last life, he conferred to the next empress (his stepmother) that remained in the palace the title of Empress Dowager, and then the Empress Dowager’s niece entered the palace as a consort.
The Empress Dowager and the noble imperial consort were both from the Duke of Su residence.
Xi Xian had seen that noble imperial consort, she had big eyes and a slender face, red charming lips she was straightforward in her speech and her actions, she had an inner gracefulness and generosity, but she wasn’t like those who would do things straight right in your face without any consideration, she was a smart person.
She entered the palace much earlier than Xi Xian, and with this background, after the crown prince ascended to the throne, it was her turn to be named empress.
It was a pity that it got delayed until Xi Xian’s death, it was just like this.
The current crown prince was a cold-hearted person, the noble imperial consort certainly accompanied him for a long time, he gave her all the honors, they even had a son and a daughter, but she failed to reach the last step.
Xi Xian and she were not familiar, it was not that the noble imperial consort wasn’t warm enough, it was Xi Xian that was not willing to socialize with all of them.
