Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 8
Chapter 8
(3.3)
Her legitimate sister covered her as they walked, her shoulders got wet, but she only coldly criticized her: “In this kind of weather, how can you think about walking around the garden, how can you be so stupid?”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, her legitimate sister squeezed Xi Xian’s arm, easily shackling her body that wanted to escape towards the outside and said coldly: “Don’t move around.”
Xi Xian’s eyelashes dropped, her face was a little pale, but she just pursed her lips, unwilling to speak.
She was waiting for the maids to come and get her, but somehow, both Chun Cao and Qiu Feng didn’t come even after she waited for a long time.
When they reached the small courtyard, her legitimate sister put away the oil paper umbrella. Xi Xian then realized that her legitimate sister’s clothes were mostly wet, her long black hair was also drenched by the rainwater.
However, her legitimate sister only gave her a side glance. There was no fluctuation in her light-colored eyes as she calmly said: “Why are you standing outside like a pillar?”
This small courtyard was a remote courtyard, no master was living in it, and most of the maids and servant boys were lazy. Seeing that Xi Heng was here, they were now hurrying to boil the ginger soup, and also prepared a change of clothes. Xi Xian leaned on the couch, dizzy, as she listened to the sound of the thunderstorm outside, with her wet clothes sticking on her body.
But very quickly her legitimate sister lifted the curtain and came inside, she had already changed her clothes and her long black hair was loose, scattered on her back. She was holding a bowl of ginger soup in her hand, which she put down as she told Xi Xian: “Get up and drink ginger soup, you are lazy like a piglet.”
Xi Xian sullenly refused, saying, “My head is dizzy.”
Her legitimate sister seemed to be quite annoyed that she was unwilling to do anything, so she said with mockery, “I told you to change your clothes, how many times do I have to tell you? Mmh?”
Xi Xian sluggishly raised her eyes, her grape-like eyes were flooded with water, appearing innocent and pitiful. Finally, she slowly began to untie the knots on her clothes, before tugging on her collar, revealing a creamy white smooth skin and a distinct collarbone line.
A young girl, a little older than ten years old, although she didn’t have yet the lush and appealing figure that she would have years later as a young woman, but now there was a special kind of youthfulness and delicateness, that she had never revealed to anyone, and that she didn’t care whether her legitimate sister would see or not.
Her legitimate sister frowned, as her light-colored eyes turned deep, before she very soon turned around, and said: “Hurry up, you have to drink the ginger soup after changing your clothes.”
Xi Xian took a look at her legitimate sister and thought in her heart that she was really demanding.
She was harsh, haughty, and too focused on the rules, she was really very annoying.
Xi Xian’s movements were slow, she did everything very slowly, she was clumsy with her feet and her hands were not dexterous either. She wasted those delicate hands and feet she had been born with, for no matter what she did, she couldn’t do it well.
When Xi Xian was done changing her clothes, she said softly, “I’m done.”
Xi Xian’s hair was disheveled and scattered, her personal maids weren’t here, and she also couldn’t be bothered to call on the servants with rough and crude hands and feet to serve her personally, so she just sat there in a daze with the bowl of medicine, bowing her head and drinking silently.
Her legitimate sister disliked that she was too lazy, as she took a clean cloth to wipe her hair.
Her legitimate sister’s fingers were long and strong, when she wiped her hair, it felt like she was pulling on her hair like it was lamb’s wool, though her movements as she rubbed her hair strands were slow, they were powerful, which made Xi Xian feel a little pain, so after swallowing a mouthful of ginger soup, she complained, “It hurts.”
Her legitimate sister’s action paused, and she curled up her lips, mocking her: “You’re too delicate.”
Xi Xian’s neck shrank, in fear that she would be punished by her legitimate sister. Her fingernails pierced the skin of her palms, hating herself for being too cowardly.
In the past, when she did something wrong, she used to be punished and would have to massage her legitimate sister’s legs for an afternoon. Her legitimate sister’s legs were hard, different from the softness of ordinary girls, when she massaged them, her hands felt sore and painful. Her legitimate sister closed her eyes to rest, while taking hold of her small hands to rub them, when her slender fingers were done rubbing her hands, she would squeeze her jaw and casually tease her: “Come again tomorrow.”
Xi Xian then knew that her legitimate sister did not like her at all, she was always harsh and always made things difficult for her.
However, her legitimate sister’s movements turned gentle, and the way she was serving her now felt very comfortable. When she was done drying her hair, she wanted to brush it.
Xi Xian hastily tried to avoid it, still holding the bowl of ginger soup, she said, “No need, I’ll do it myself later, you can go back first.”
She looked like she was dying to avoid her, as if the person in front of her was some kind of ferocious beast. The young girl was probably unaware that the way she was clenching her fingers revealed her fear and hatred.
Her legitimate sister, however, took the comb, with a cold frown. She narrowed her eyes and fiercely said, “Sit down.”
