Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 61
~End of chapter 60
Xi Xian 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.
Was it him?
Was it His Majesty ?
Chapter 61
(23.2)
The man could even use dozens of calligraphic styles on a single page without a hitch, without stopping, his strokes were sharp and smooth, but he never used her script. Because zanhua small script was used mostly by women, and a man like him would not learn this style of writing.
For Xi Xian, the content of the letter was no longer important.
Although the story was saddening, it had nothing to do with her. Only the zanhua small script on the letter that was identical to the one she used to write, was the key to her confusion.
She recalled all kinds of things that happened in this current life, like a thunderstorm in her brain, and for a moment, she was no longer able to remain still.
What if the one reborn was …… her legitimate sister?
Her legitimate sister also knew how to write this style, even in small script, for it was her legitimate sister who, holding her hand, taught her one stroke at a time, making her learn by heart.
Even though her legitimate sister treated her harshly, for a long period of time, she was also her elder and teacher.
She would never forget how, a long time ago, her body was held in her legitimate sister’s cool embrace, and the steady and deep sandalwood fragrance coming from behind her, as her taller sister was holding her wrist, teaching her how to write a beautiful zanhua small script, one stroke at a time.
When Xi Xian managed to learn a word, she would turn to her sister and smile brightly, while her eyes looked like a sky full of stars.
Sometimes, her legitimate sister was also gentle, she wasn’t always mean and vicious.
As for Xi Xian, what she feared most was the current crown prince. If he was reborn the same as her, then the consequences would be unfathomable. With his ability, if he still had her in his mind, then Xi Xian had no other way to escape but to die.
He Jinrong was her last resort, but that was only under the condition that the crown prince was not reborn. If he was reborn, Xi Xian believed that He Jinrong would then be useless.
If he was reborn in this life, no matter what kind of justification the crown prince uses, she believed that they could never go back.
Both of them were at fault, no one could distinguish clearly whose fault it was, in the end, they were just not suitable for each other. He was too domineering and insane, Xi Xian knew she was too crafty, but she was absolutely unable to change her bad temperament.
She admitted, she still could not forget the emperor.
The night before, when Xi Xian thought of He Jinrong and the crown prince, she felt that if he ended up growing old together with her, being sweetly in love, not remembering that he used to have a woman named Xi Xian, she would nevertheless feel sad for a while.
But she would never look back.
If he forcefully took her into the palace, Xi Xian would rather dig her own grave and simply die, than to be with him again.
They indeed had a sweet time together, but he also brought her more than ten years of darkness, a life where she was his exclusive domain. That was a shadow that Xi Xian was unable to dissipate.
That dignified man was even willing to kneel on one knee and slowly kiss her toes, as devoted as a believer under the moonlight. But when he raised his eyes, that pair of light-colored eyes turned dark, and when he smiled, he looked like a bloodthirsty beast.
With a smile, and half his face hidden in the shadows, his slightly cool fingers were stroking her trembling eyelashes. His voice was taut but elegant: “Xianbao’s eyes are so beautiful ah…… it’s a pity, they can only see me.”
Xi Xian cried and avoided him, kicked him with her feet, and crawled towards the bed, but he took hold of her ankles like a shackle.
Xi Xian was as light as a kitten, the man sat her on his lap, laughing in her ear as he said coldly: “Isn’t that what you wanted? I have given it to you, why are you still unhappy?”
His voice was low and magnetic, but it scared Xi Xian very much. The man combed her messy hair, pinned it behind her ear, and softly coaxed her: “Baobao, smile a little for me, okay? Mmh?”
So, when Xi Xian was eating a meal, she was fed by him, spoonful by spoonful with the utmost tenderness. He even wiped her mouth, treating her as if she were a baby or a precious and delicate piece of porcelain.
If His Majesty was not present, then it would be the turn of the maidservant who had served her for many years to do so.
Xi Xian did not blame him, she was the one who had been too much.
When he was suppressing his temper, not intending to do such crazy things, it was she herself who ignorantly and unconsciously provoked him, even taking advantage of his favor to act recklessly, threatening to jump off a building over nothing, acting crazy and relying on his indulgence to refuse to come to reason, desperately seeking a sense of security and love.
She always thought that everyone was normal, but she didn’t know that the emperor was just holding back and restraining himself, because he couldn’t bear to hurt her.
So, she hoped that the one reborn was someone else, not him.
How nice it would be if that person was her legitimate sister.
