Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 6
Chapter 6
(2.4)
But Xi Xian said innocently, “My intentions are good, why say I would be disturbing her?”
After saying these words, she tugged on her handkerchief and sat there. At just one glance, she looked like she wasn’t easy to get along with at all.
At most, she would be punished to serve tea and dishes, or to sit upright for an entire day. But she had gotten used to being tired and sore all over her body in her last life, it was nothing to be afraid of.
In this life, even if she had to act as a harsh shrew, she did not want to let people bully her again.
In addition, she had her legitimate sister’s weakness in her hand, her goal was to step on her legitimate sister’s bottom line.
When their legitimate sister could no longer tolerate her, she would then show her cards, so that even if their legitimate sister was angry to death, she would have no choice but to swallow her anger, not daring to touch her at all.
Xi Xian had wanted to see her legitimate sister suffer defeat for a long time.
She really wanted to see her legitimate sister’s haughty and indifferent face, revealing a miserable and enduring-anger look.
Xi Yao’s expression carried along a slight mockery, as she picked her nails slowly, she was waiting to see a good show.
She was but the daughter of an outside mistress, did she really think she was a thing?
This kind of slight and minor unfairness, what did it matter? Since she had come to their backyard, she had to understand what patience was, and what was the way of survival. Her legitimate sister absolutely would not interfere in these matters.
But who would have expected, very quickly, their legitimate sister had people deliver a whole bucket of lychees, and they were iced.
There was no trace of the oranges from just before.
Because they were located in the north, even the emperors and the concubines in the palace mostly wouldn’t be so extravagant, but when Xi Xian in the past had a look of sadness on her face, the emperor, in order to make her happy, would deliver lychees to her as well like that. That made many onlookers’s eyes red with blood from the jealousy.
Her legitimate sister’s maternal family was very powerful, and her legitimate sister was their most beloved granddaughter, so it was not surprising that such an important minister would have such extravagant pleasures.
But Xi Xian only wanted to know what her legitimate sister’s intentions were.
Yan momo said respectfully, “Sixth miss, our mistress said, eating lychee in summer makes one comfortable, but you should not eat too much, it’s easy to fall ill.”
Xi Xian’s face changed slightly, and she asked with a smile, “What about the oranges, was elder sister happy to eat them ?”
Those were low quality oranges.
Yan momo did not expect this little concubine-born daughter who looked like a white rabbit to be so good at overstepping the line, so she gave her a bland look and said respectfully, “Mistress liked it very much.”
Xi Xian’s smile gradually disappeared and she lightly commented with a “mmh”.
As soon as Yan momo had finished her sentence, she turned around, frowned and coldly rebuked: “Who allocated the fruits? How come sixth miss’s share was of low quality, who gave you the courage to do that?”
Née Qin, who was scared half to death, hurriedly stepped forward and said: “It’s not a problem, it’s not a problem, we can eat every kind of fruits, Xianxian is not that delicate ……” but she was stopped by a look from Yan momo.
When that momo was done speaking, she immediately proceeded to punish several servants, by beating each one of them with a plank, dozens of times. Even their families were included in the punishment, and they were all together dismissed, and sent to the western courtyard.
They were all weeping and begging for mercy, all of a sudden, it actually turned into a panic scene, where everyone was in danger.
Most of them were the servants of concubine Wang and Xi Yao.
The people with discerning eyes could see who Yan momo was doing this for, only Xi Xian was unable to understand.
Xi Xian looked at the lychees wrapped in her silk handkerchief, her slender and fingers took one of them, which she put under her nose to smell. She slowly furrowed her eyebrows, thinking about her legitimate sister’s intentions.
In the end, was she enticing her, or warning her, or was she just temperamental and doing whatever she felt like doing at the moment ?

It was not that Xi Xian was suspicious of anything, but the backyard was a sinister and unfathomable place, her concubine mother had died in childbirth during her previous life, how could she not have a cautious heart ?
Xi Yao beside her would never have expected that this sixth sister, with her small voice and small aura, would throw such a tantrum, and yet, against all odds on earth and heaven, that her legitimate sister would still indulge her.
Could it be that her legitimate sister really had developed a deep sisterly love with this lowly daughter born of an outside mistress?
Xi Yao found it a bit unbelievable.
Xi Xian, in the end, couldn’t figure it out.
She had never been able to understand the logic behind her legitimate sister’s actions, she had always been unpredictable with her moods, she gave her a lot of hope, which she would then extinguish in the blink of an eye.
So she would not be foolish and be grateful to her for such a thing. There was definitely some kind of reason behind it, which she didn’t know.
