Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 60
Chapter 60
(22.4)
Xi Xian immediately guessed that the man was Zhou Gongwei.
Otherwise, why would the letter be delivered along with the fans?
Zhou Gongwei’s deep love for his late wife, it wasn’t like she did not know about it. But then later, he also remarried by taking a concubine. It was really disappointing.
Xi Xian bit her lip and finished reading the letter.
From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of the two people’s names.
It was a story that was very unfamiliar to her.
They met when they were young, the girl’s status was very low, the man watched her grow up, taught her how to read and write, and then left her.
He originally made the decision to let her marry another man and protect her from everything, but because of all her viciousness and little schemes, he thought that no other man could tolerate her and cherish her.
So the man took her back to his side and married her, gave her the best life, indulged all her bad intentions, but because of her status, he failed to give her what she wanted most.
They had a sweet period of time together, but unfortunately, later on conflicts got deeper and deeper, the love turned into madness and became uncontrollable. The woman died of illness when she was middle-aged, and the man never remarried again, nor did he ever have another woman.
He would write an eulogy for her every year, and the year he passed away, there was a very thick pile of these, as much as the scriptures the girl had been punished to copy when she was little.
The man was also punished by his little girl, he wrote a lot of things, but there was no one to gently tell him that it was enough.
In the end, the man passed away on the day of his wife’s death anniversary.
That day of her death, it was already past half the sixty-year cycle. And he was alone walking in the frost, lonely for years until his death.
(TL’s note : very poetic sentences, which unfortunately don’t translate well in English)
In his lifetime, he built several temples for her, and invited many senior monks to pray for his dead wife’s soul to be reincarnated.
Just for the sake of meeting her again in the next life.

Xi Xian finished reading it, without knowing what kind of feelings she felt.
There was a sour sympathy in her heart, but her heart was frighteningly calm. Then, a strange feeling of absurdity pervaded her heart.
She felt that there was something very odd about this letter, and she needed to read it over again to figure it out.
She was more than sure that it was probably a made up story.
Because if there really was such a man, it would be shocking in this current world.
Through only a few words, she understood that the man was most likely a very powerful, high-status man, whose hands and influence covered the entire sky, but she had never heard of such a man.
In official or unofficial history books, folk stories and miscellaneous records, there was no one like this.
Xi Xian turned to the last page and saw a few words on top: “This story is just meant as a joke.”
Xi Xian breathed a sigh of relief, this was indeed a fake, her legitimate sister was only writing this to tease her.
But it really didn’t sound funny.
She knew that from time to time, sisters would write each other’s folk stories, but she didn’t think that her legitimate sister would be so mischievous.
Xi Xian breathed a sigh of relief, without thinking much about it, then she picked up a brush and added more to the plot to make her legitimate sister’s story more complete.
“The man and his wife were both reincarnated. Later he found that his wife found someone else and that she was living a very happy life, so the man also found a woman who really suited him, and they lived together until all the hair on their head turned white.”
“Thus they all lived happily ever after.”
When Xi Xian finished writing, the corners of her lips slowly curled up, as she set aside her brush in delight, and flipped through the pages again.
She just felt that there was something wrong, and very unusual.
Very quickly, she was no longer able to smile, as a creepy, icy feeling spread through her entire body.
Her fingers were slightly trembling, and her almond eyes widened as she looked over the handwriting style in the letter again.
The font used was the zanhua style, in small script, but it didn’t look like her legitimate sister’s writing.
…… It was more like, more like the font she loved to use before she was reborn.
This might be why, she was feeling uncomfortable now.
After Xi Xian was reborn, she gave up the zanhua small script, and now she was using the yan style, and she never again used the font she used in the past.
She could not imagine that someone would write words in such a similar way to the way she used to before she was reborn, and if she was not very clear-minded right now, she would have thought she had written it herself.
It was such a feminine and delicate style, with gentle and graceful strokes, but it gave off an eerie and treacherous feeling.
Xi Xian sucked in a breath of cold air, and put the brush on the side of the ink stone in a daze. She just felt that her entire body was getting cold, as she sat on the chair for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
