Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 75
~End of chapter 74
Now, the selection of women to fill the crown prince’s East Palace was no more, and it was replaced by the immediate rule of the young crown who was holding great power in his hand.
Xi Xian’s heart was burning so badly, with just that one brief news, her entire face turned pale as she was sitting down at the table, uneasy.
She didn’t know from which step things had gone wrong, obviously the one who had been reborn was her legitimate sister, yet every political decision made by the crown prince had also been altered.
Chapter 75
(27.2)
If the one reborn was not the crown prince, if the ones reborn were really only them both, she and Xi Heng, but Xi Heng was still a cousin of the crown prince after all.
In her last life, her legitimate sister died early, but in this life, Xi Xian told everything to her legitimate sister, even though she didn’t want to doubt her, but wasn’t it that her legitimate sister was actually scheming behind the scenes?
But she knew the crown prince very well, in the absence of certainty, he never did anything unnecessary.
It was only after another half a month that Xi Xian was allowed to see her legitimate sister.
Recently, the time her legitimate sister spent worshipping the Buddha had increased, and Xi Xian very often was not able to see her. She knew that her legitimate sister’s temperament was strange and gloomy, she wouldn’t change her mind on the things she had set her mind on, so Xi Xian also never complained.
But now Xi Xian really wanted to see her legitimate sister, she was too eager to know why, even if she only said a few words of explanation, she would be fine with it.
She only wanted her legitimate sister to tell her, that she had not done anything, that she had nothing to do with the crown prince. It could be said that even if the crown prince had also been reborn, Xi Xian would feel a little more at ease if it was so.
Although it sounded like she was forgetting the most fundamental point for some detail, but if it was so, then it would mean her legitimate sister had not betrayed their promise.
She said that she would not help the crown prince to bully her, that she would protect her, and that she would defend her against the annoying crown prince, so how could she break her promise?
Xi Xian went to see her legitimate sister, but this time her legitimate sister was in the Buddha hall, so she had to bathe and purify her body, once she was no longer stained with dust, she would be allowed to enter.
Xi Xian felt that her legitimate sister’s admiration and worship for Buddhism had reached a level that bordered on being a bit insane and stubborn.
She did not understand and wondered exactly what had happened to such a young teenage girl to make her so obsessed with Buddhism.
Her legitimate sister’s Buddha hall was very large, but also very empty, there was only an incense burner table in front of the Buddha dedicated to incense, fruit plates, and yellow curtains which were clean and tidy. There were two knitted futon in front of the Buddha statue, and her legitimate sister’s figure in front of the Buddha was a like straight cedar tree, wrapped in the cold snow, but remaining absolutely still.
Xi Xian hated the fact that she had been reborn, but she also wanted to break out of the muck and see the light of day, so she appreciated and sincerely esteemed the people she met after her rebirth.
But she didn’t want to live again at all, she just wanted to die early and be reincarnated.
Was a person who had been granted a new life really someone intact and whole?
In the same world, she made different choices and got the opposite effects, but the original trajectory still existed in the heart, as if the choices she made after her rebirth, and the good results she got, were but a “favor” granted by Heaven.
As a matter of fact, people who were born again were not worthy of a happy ending at all.
Therefore, even if she was reborn, she would rather not have been, and just wanted to be reincarnated like all the living beings in heaven and earth, and leave all the karmic ties of her past life behind.
Therefore, Xi Xian did not have too much respect and admiration for the Buddha who might have let her live once again.
Xi Xian knew that her legitimate sister believed in Buddhism, so she walked forward and knelt with her, but her heart was getting impatient, she was just waiting for her big sister to be done, to ask her about those things.
Her legitimate sister was wearing simple black clothes, her wide cuffs were pulled up, revealing a section of her arm wearing Buddhist beads, with hanging dark yellow tassels, the side of her face was cold and aloof, her eyelashes were long and thick, her long fingers were slowly twisting the Buddhist beads, her movement was very slow, but very fitting to the rules.
Xi Xian waited for a long time, her legs were already numb from kneeling, her waist was sore and painful, and she hated that she couldn’t stand up immediately. Her legitimate sister was still in her original posture, with her simple clothes, her long hair behind her head, still twisting the beads in her hands, silent.
She felt that her legitimate sister’s body might be made of iron, just before she entered, she asked Zi Yi, and heard that her legitimate sister had entered the Buddha Hall early this morning, so it had already been a few hours now.
Xi Xian only wanted to move a little, but her body was like a clay sculpture, she could not even stand a little movement. Just a little movement of the calves made her feel sore and numb, and she was trembling like she had no sensation left, when the next moment, the wind blew on the falling leaves, it felt like she was going to collapse to the side.
With her eyes still closed, twirling the Buddhist beads with her left hand, she squeezed Xi Xian’s wrist with her right hand to pull her falling body up, the force she used on her wrist could not be described as light, and Xi Xian, who felt pain from her grip, started dropping tears.
