Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 76
Chapter 76
(23.3)
Xi Xian didn’t want to cry, but her hands and feet were sore and numb, all her body was uncomfortable, heyetr legitimate sister was still ignoring her, without any intention to pay attention to her.
Xi Xian then got up with the support of her hand, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then walked to the window, limping with one foot.
She did not want to continue kneeling, her legitimate sister did not seem to care whether or not she was pious, the hand she gave her just a moment before, it was unsure how much force she had put into it, but she was most likely tired of her being troublesome while sitting next to her.
Unfortunately, there were no chairs inside the Buddha Hall, Xi Xian did not understand what thoughts her legitimate sister had in her mind.
When coming to the Buddha Hall, if one does not kneel, then one has to stand, exactly which Buddha set up this rule ?
Xi Xian was again reminded of the crown prince, and her heart immediately started to panic, even her breathing was uneven, one moment light, the next moment heavy, and all of her body was restless.
After a long time, her legitimate sister finally got up, she slowly arranged her cuffs, remaining silent, before she coldly said, “Xianxian, you coming to the Buddha Hall, is it regarding the matter of the crown prince?”
Xi Xian looked back at her legitimate sister in surprise, she didn’t expect that her legitimate sister would be able to guess her mind so accurately. She hurriedly came forward and tugged at Xi Heng’s sleeve, softly but eagerly saying, “This matter has nothing to do with big sister, right?”
Xi Heng swept a glance at her, rather surprised.
He never expected that the reason Xi Xian was so anxious and uneasy, was only because she was afraid that her “big sister” was involved in the matter, and that her focus would not be on the crown prince at all. Her legitimate sister’s face in front of her turned cold, there was no smile inside her eyes, but she smiled with interest, “Xianxian, I can agree to your request, and not push you into the crown prince’s arms.”
“But you have to know that everything around you is imperial ground, everyone is a servant of the imperial dynasty, what matter in the world has nothing to do with him?”

Under the light of the Buddha Hall, Xi Xian’s eyes widened. She was unable to react for a moment.
Her legitimate sister’s words were very sensitive, like a sharp pair of scissors, cutting right through Xi Xian’s naive thoughts one by one, carrying a thin layer of sarcasm, and a sigh of tenderness.
It wasn’t that Xi Xian did not understand.
The crown prince was now holding a great power in his hands, and apart from having the legitimate title, he wasn’t missing anything else, he was just like an uncrowned emperor.
Under the sky, there was no place other than the emperor’s land, where could Xi Xian escape to?
Before Xi Xian was reborn, when she was still a young girl, and had to face the strong pressure of the imperial power, and her family’s fall, her heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness, but she didn’t have the slightest bit of resentment.
She was unable to hold any grudge.
From the bottom of her bones, she was a servant of the dynasty, and she did not even have a spark in her, so how could anger and resentment erupt in flame?
Regarding the imperial power, and that man holding the power in his hand, not only her, but all the people in the empire were full of admiration and respect, he was not the sky, but a transcendant and bodyless god.
But she had actually kissed the man’s thin lips, she had entwined her lips and tongue with his in an inextricable manner. She then realized that he was no more than a man, not as majestic, not as divine as people thought.
Occasionally, he loved to say dirty things to her in bed, making her blood boil in shame, until she flushed pink like a shrimp.
He also had selfish desires, so grim and obsessive that he failed to live up to all the admiration and allegiance he was receiving.
Therefore, Xi Xian could no longer have any admiration for the imperial power, and she did not want her legitimate sister to talk like that.
It was as if a boundary had been drawn between them, with her on the far side and her big sister standing on a high place looking down on her, believing in completely different beliefs, forever unable to understand each other.
Even though her legitimate sister loved and indulged her, but in the end they were not the same kind of people and were incompatible.
After a long time, Xi Xian, with trembling eyelashes, hesitantly and softly said, “Big sister, what are you saying? How can you think like this? You are not this kind of person.”
Her legitimate sister raised her eyes, her light-colored eyes were somewhat somber in the light, and she said as if she was pondering, “Then, in your eyes, what kind of person am I?”
Xi Xian retreated half a step back, her face turning pale as she said, “Big sister will protect me, protect me with all her heart, and will never break the promises made between us ……”
Her legitimate sister lowered her eyes and slowly turned the Buddha beads wrapped around her wrist, the sandalwood-colored bead strings made one circle after another around the honey-colored wrist, the dark yellow tassels trembled, as Xi Xian saw her legitimate sister’s lips seemingly smiling, like she was trying to repress an infinite and large desire to laugh.
Xi Xian stared at her legitimate sister and whispered, “Big sister, why are you smiling?”
When her legitimate sister raised her eyes, the smile on the corner of her lips was already evident, carrying a slightly mean brightness, “Xianxian, you think I’m your servant? Mmh?”
