Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 78
Chapter 78
(28.3)
Xi Xian could not understand, her thick eyelashes trembled, a thin gasp of bemusement escaped from her lips, and for a moment she closed her eyes tightly, with a snow-white crease between her eyebrows, unwilling to look at her legitimate sister for a moment longer.
She could hear that her legitimate sister was more or less telling her that she could break her promise at any time, and that she would do irrational things at the risk of breaking her peace of mind.
But she didn’t understand, what was that?
The words of her legitimate sister were like fog, it was hard for her to see the cause even if she dispelled it away.
Her legitimate sister smiled faintly as her slender fingers gently stroked her cheek, softly coaxing: ”But don’t worry, I also loathe the crown prince, sometimes I even wish to see him die. We’re very similar in that regard, aren’t we?”
Xi Xian opened her eyes at those words, and just like that, she tilted her head slightly to look at her big sister, losing speech for a moment.
She believed that her legitimate sister was speaking sincerely, but the very important link of cause and effect seemed to be some missing.
Xi Xian finally opened her mouth, her voice dry and timid: “Is it that the crown prince forced you to do something? Or, was your death in your past life related to the crown prince?”
Her legitimate sister let go of her, and had Xi Xian sit on the futon, she inclined her head to look at the thin daylight outside, and said coldly and indifferently, “No.”
Xi Xian did not know why, but she felt relieved in her heart, but she just whispered, “Then why do you hate him?”
Her bright eyes were full of doubt, her eyes were red, but because of her doubts, she forgot her resentment. Her white fingers were resting on the corner of her lips, unconsciously curved, her jade-like face was tender, seeming like a little rabbit just taken out from the nest, not knowing how to take cover, and not knowing how to protect itself.
Human nature was evil, and she was kind even when she was being evil, innocent and ignorant to the point of being cute.
Her legitimate sister’s eyes were silent and deep, and the simple black clothes on her body and Buddha beads on her wrists all made her look harmless and peaceful, like an ascetic monk who practiced abstinence.
But her reply was bone-chilling, though her voice was carrying an elegant and gentle smile, “Because, I want to replace him ah.”
Xi Xian looked at legitimate sister in shock, the teardrops in her eyes that hadn’t yet fallen, slid down her cheeks as she slowly said, “You said, you want …… to replace him?”
Her legitimate sister smiled faintly, her slender fingers pressed on her pale lips, signaling her to be silent, but the color of her eyes grew deeper and darker.
Xi Xian did not know what she was feeling at this moment, but a strange and gloomy coldness was overtaking all her body.

Under Xi Xian’s stunned gaze, her legitimate sister’s black clothes unfolded as she got up, and a string of Buddha beads was vaguely visible in her wide, broad sleeves.
Xi Heng unexpectedly started to laugh, she extended her hand to dry the teardrops on Xi Xian’s cheeks, while Xi Xian stared at her dumbfounded, seemingly extremely frightened.
Her legitimate sister pinched her cheeks and softly and gently laughed, “Silly girl, believing everything people say.”
Xi Xian then realized that she had been tricked by her legitimate sister. She perhaps really never thought of replacing the crown prince, but at the same time, she felt a feeling of uneasiness coming from the bottom of her heart.
How did her legitimate sister want to replace the crown prince? Kill the crown prince and then become a female emperor herself?
No matter how one thought about it, it was all very strange, at the same time, making people unable to believe it but also feel that it was absurd and so bizarre it was ridiculous.
So Xi Xian did not pay attention to her words, and followed her legitimate sister out of the Buddha Hall. She then realized that she still had many things she had yet to ask, but all of her questions were brushed off by her legitimate sister with cold ridicule and sharp words.
Xi Xian didn’t get any answers, but her face ended up full of tears.
She glanced at the back figure of her legitimate sister, straight and tall, with an innate aloofness and pride.
Her legitimate sister most likely wasn’t doing it on purpose, at least that what Xi Xian believed.
At this point, Xi Xian no longer wanted to discuss about the crown prince with her legitimate sister anymore.
Xi Xian felt that, if she ignored some of her legitimate sister’s excessive and horrible words, her legitimate sister was actually a good person.
Thinking about this, Xi Xian also felt a bit sorry for herself, how could she be so forgiving? As long as a person had a little good in them, she would desperately think of the bright side of that person, wasn’t it tiring, wasn’t it difficult?
She even suspected that her legitimate sister’s personality had issues.
On any matter, normal people would forever see things differently from her. Her legitimate sister wasn’t being negative, she just saw everything from another perspective that was diametrically opposite, extreme and carrying an evil intent.
Xi Xian did not doubt for a second that if her legitimate sister had not been born a girl and had not been trapped in a boudoir, in such a man-oriented era, Xi Heng would have been an unscrupulous and cold-hearted man.
Remembering her legitimate sister’s appearance, and the grim look on her face as she smiled a smile that didn’t look like one, Xi Xian got goosebumps all over her body.
