Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 58
Chapter 58
(22.2)
He Jinrong frowned a little, went forward and took Xi Xian’s hand. Curling up the corner of her lips, she smiled as she said: “I’m not taking any reward without doing any merit, I have been taught that since my childhood, if I received such a valuable gift for nothing, it would make people laugh at me for being shallow. In terms of age, I am older than you, I can considered as being your half sister, if little sister Xian does not mind, call me sister Rong. ”
Xi Xian was a little pleased, and she immediately and carefully took He Jinrong’s hand, and then wrapped her arms around her soft waist, rubbing herself against her as she said: “Sister Rong……”
He Jinrong’s body stiffened, feeling strange all over her body.
Although this kind of action was nothing out of the ordinary, a soft hug was not much, for in the end Xi Xian was a young girl who had yet to reach maturity, and was naive and reliant on people. But the third miss He had not been embraced by girls of the same age for a long time since she was grown up.
The girls of their age, if they didn’t have the heart to compete, were indifferent. Some were arrogant and pretentious, others wanted reputation, but no matter what, they would not see other noble girls of their age as a good sister to rely on.
Xi Xian was such a sweet and soft small ball, with good skills coming from practice, a sweet mouth and without any hard bone in her body. She was very happy to call other girls slightly older than her big sister, and recognized them as such seemingly without asking for anything in return.
The little girl was standing straight, well behaved, there were tears that had yet to dry in the corners of her eyes, her pair of large and moist almond eyes red were like the eyes of a rabbit, but she was unaware of it, and just obediently followed He Jinrong, like a small tail, full of reliance.
He Jinrong paused, and then took a handkerchief to wipe Xi Xian’s tears carefully.
The two of them were close, and she could smell the warm and childish fragrance on Xi Xian’s body, so she couldn’t help but feel her heart softening again.
He Jinrong also did not know what mood she was in, it was perhaps very strange, but the faint disdain and hostility she felt first, collapsed in just three to five steps, and on the contrary, she willingly got closer to Xi Xian.
Perhaps she had come with a purpose.
He Jinrong persevered in her belief that she was not being sincere, but she was willing to accept Xi Xian, mostly because of that man.
She was going to marry His Highness in the future, if Xi Xian was the girl in the crown prince’s heart, then she could not lose her virtuous attitude, and had to always take care of her and call her little sister, while serving the same husband. She had to do so in order to make the crown prince remember her virtuous conduct.
If her guess was wrong, having one more little sister like a little tail was nothing much, at most she would add to her dowry later when the time comes. When Xi Xian gets married, she estimated that it would not be into a very good family.
Like this, they would not interact with each other, like well water not mixing with river water, and she would also get a good reputation.
As He Jinrong was calculating against Xi Xian according to the usual thoughts of the noble girls in her circle, she had a gentle and sensible smile on her face.
She pulled Xi Xian to her courtyard to eat cold cakes, and even whispered in Xi Xian’s ear: “This weather is the most unsuitable for eating this, so you must not tell my grandmother the fact that I love these cold cakes.”
Xi Xian laughed, there was no fluctuation in her heart, yet she was intimately holding He Jinrong’s arm, shaking her arm as she begged, “Good sister, I also want to try it.”
Xi Xian was really envious of He Jinrong’s courtyard, which was beside the He family’s small lake. When they entered the courtyard, she saw a vermilion building in the center, which was He Jinrong’s boudoir.
They sat in the shade of the bamboos, leaning on lacquered chairs, where they could watch the flowing scenery of the lake outside. There was a swing on top of the grassy ground, with flowers of all colors around it.
She had nothing of these.
She lived in the old matriarch’s courtyard, but no one made a swing for her.
As she ate the cold cake, her snow-white cheeks were slightly puffed out. Her mouth was filled with the taste of cinnamon and honey, and her smile also looked like honey, and she said, lost in thoughts, “It’s so nice, only my eldest sister has such a beautiful courtyard in our family.”
He Jinrong had heard of the legitimate daughter of the Xi family, but she had not seen Xi Heng before, so she said casually and gently, “I do not often see your elder sister.”
Xi Xian did not want to make He Jinrong pay attention to her legitimate sister, to be honest about this matter, she wanted to plan for the marriage of the crown prince and Chong Fei, but she absolutely did not want to involve her legitimate sister into it.
She said softly, “Yes ah, big sister is busy with worshiping the Buddha, and her health is not good, so ……”
He Jinrong was not interested in her so-called legitimate sister, so she skipped over the subject without any interest.
There were all kind of people among the circle of noble girls.
The ones with a slightly better background were too arrogant, they had an eccentric character, and the ones who were sick and had a weak health, it would be difficult for them to achieve great things anyway.
Therefore, she did not need to bother to befriend such a person. It didn’t matter that the gap now between them wasn’t big, once she gets married, they would learn that they were not at all from the same social stratum.
