Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 59
~End of chapter 58
Xi Xian 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.
Chapter 59
(22.3)
The two girls talked about the person who gave Xi Xian the set of fans, Xi Xian did not want to make things up, but seeing He Jinrong being so curious and asking so anxiously, she could only thicken her skin and make up a story: “Yes, it is a valuable person who rewarded them to me.”
He Jinrong’s heart was pounding, as she remembered the man’s black clothes with silver patterns, his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Even her ears started to become slightly red.
She said in a calm soft voice: “What kind of valuable person is it? As I see, those aren’t easy to get, how come this person is so generous, and rewarded you alone ?”
This time, Xi Xian was unable to make things up, all the embarrassment in her body went to the top of her head, so her face turned red, and her voice also turned small and soft: “I do not know who that is, that person rewarded me, and also corrected my calligraphy …… I think it is an elder.”
He Jinrong seemingly unintentionally asked about that person’s appearance, Xi Xian thought about it for a moment, and then naturally cooked up a lie: “I do not really remember, I only remember that that person’s eyes were very light, that person rarely smiled, talked unhurriedly, but was sometimes very gentle.”
These words were simple and pure lies, full of omissions, but at least her legitimate sister did indeed correct her handwriting, she just thought of her sister as she said those words, but did not say whether the person was male or female.
Hearing Xi Xian say this, He Jinrong’s heart felt even more sour, the cold cake in her mouth was tasteless, but she tried her best to pull up the corners of her lips as she smiled: “That’s a really good fortune.”
Xi Xian found this comment strange, but only lowered her eyelashes, well-behaved, as she ate the cake with small bites.
He Jinrong looked at Xi Xian from the beginning to the end, sizing her up carefully with her eyes.
Was this young girl stunningly beautiful ? That was not it. Although she was beautiful, but her beauty wasn’t stunning, the aura surrounding her whole body was soft, sweet and pure, like the most clear stream, that would make thirsty travelers not help but bury their heads and drink from it.
He Jinrong could even imagine how the crown prince would hold Xi Xian in his arms, slowly and carefully kiss her eyebrows, and then how the young girl would shyly dodge and bury herself in the man’s arms, causing him to laugh.
She still had that same feeling, that they were a strangely sweet match.
He Jinrong felt a little confused and startled for all of this was just her own imagination.
Xi Xian very quickly became close friends with He Jinrong and walked to the birthday banquet together with her. He Jinrong even introduced her to a few elegant ladies of noble birth.
In the eyes of outsiders, apart from the fact that she was a bit shy, Xi Xian was very good in every other aspect, so she received a lot of praise.
Xi Xian did not take back the fans with her. For fear that He Jinrong would not accept them, she found a topic to distract her attention and then hurriedly left with the old matriarch.
She was jumping with joy in her heart, she had made the right move today, she was able to become friends with He Jinrong, so she could then influence her in the future.
If the emperor could be married to He Jinrong, wasn’t this exactly her wish ?
Xi Xian did not feel sour at all, she was very happy, so happy that she could not sleep at night.
But the next morning, Xi Xian found a set of twenty-four boxes with fans and a letter on the desk, casting an obscure shadow in the sunlight.
She did not bother to wash up, and got down on the ground with bare feet, as her face started to turn pale.
She then realized that the set of fans had been returned intact to her.
When she inquired about it, she heard Qiu Feng say that yesterday Qing Yu came, and only said that she took back the whole set of fans from the Duke of Su’s residence.
This was a great shame.
Xi Xian’s palms turned cold and sweaty, and even her heartbeat was uneven. Whenever she thought about it, she felt so ashamed that she couldn’t stop her tears from brimming in her eyes.
What would He Jinrong think of her?
And then knowing that she had taken her things to give them to others, what would her legitimate sister think of her?
Would she think that her little sister had poor upbringing, and then give up on her, and never dote on her again?
But she was afraid of her legitimate sister, so she did not dare to lose her temper randomly.
Xi Xian wanted to know what was said in the letter that her legitimate sister gave her. She guessed that it might be words of admonition, or perhaps harsh and mean words.
Her legitimate sister did not want to see her, probably because she would feel upset and annoyed by the sight of her, so she wrote a letter and had it delivered to her.
Xi Xian tried to collect her tears, but the tip of her nose was still red, as she opened the letter with apprehension.
To her surprise, there was no preaching, there was just a very short story with no details, no supporting characters, nor names.
There were only brief sentences that outlined a very vague and remote story.
The story of a man and his deceased wife.
