Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 84
Chapter 84
Xi Xian’s skin was as white as a porcelain doll, her eyes were pure and innocent, and her face was filled with a softness that would make men want to abuse her.
Xi Xian grunted, and extended her arm out to show her legitimate sister the red cinnabar dot she had just painted on it, crossing her fingers, as she softly said: “I have long since ceased to be, I’m not innocent at all.”
Her legitimate sister smiled slightly and nodded her head, “That’s right.”
That being said, Xi Xian didn’t think about actually finding an innocent girl for the crown prince.
She clearly knew that she was a bit stupid, so it would be embarrassing if she ended up shooting herself in the foot. It would be better for her to stay quiet and live well on her own.
When He Jinrong once again sent her another message, Xi Xian just replied to her: “The precious guest did not come, little sister is ashamed.”
This precious guest was a lie she made up, but thinking about it, who He Jinrong was going to get married to had nothing to do with her.
Whoever led her on this road to ruin, it was not her, so what should she be ashamed for ?
Alright, she was a bit ashamed for lying.
But Xi Xian had no connections and no means, how could she make such a big family as the Duke of Su give up the idea of marrying off their daughter? So she could only elude the matter again and again, and hint to He Jinrong to find someone else to help her, for she really didn’t have such ability.
Inside the residence of Duke of Su, He Jinrong nearly broke her teeth by clenching them too hard, as she crumpled the letter and threw it on the ground, so angry her eyes turned blood red, and her breath short.
Xi Xian simply did not want to help her ! At first she thought that she would be easily manipulable, but the letters she did not want to reply to one after the other couldn’t be more perfunctory, she was really a b*tch.
Her pure and pitiful look was only a pretense for other people to see, she had really been blind before to see Xi Xian as a little white flower.
He Jinrong was not willing to get married just like that. In fact, she could still go beg the empress. She was her aunt, would she not speak up for her?
She just wanted to make Xi Xian fall into a pit. If she succeeded, it would mean that Xi Xian was really valued by the crown prince, and through this opportunity, she would be able to get closer to Xi Xian.
If she failed, He Jinrong could still go and beg the empress, and Xi Xian, even if she wasn’t hated and abandoned by the crown prince, the road ahead for her would not be easy to walk either.
But she didn’t expect that Xi Xian couldn’t even be bothered to beg on her behalf. The casualness in her tone wasn’t even hidden either.
Very well as, it was really very good, were all the little b*tches so arrogant now?
He Jinrong gritted her teeth and entered the palace, going directly to see the empress, née He.
The empress, née He, was not very old, her deep-black hair was fixed by hairpins and head ornaments made of jadeite, with pure gold tassels at the end that were slowing swaying along with her movements. She was elegant, with the full charm of a mature woman.
The empress ordered a pot of tea for He Jinrong and closed her eyes to listen to He Jinrong, who was in tears, finish her speech.
Only then did she say, “Jinrong, aunt taught you that you must not panic when facing a problem, you must never let others see what’s in your heart, I guess you didn’t bear it in mind.”
He Jinrong lowered her head and obediently received the lecture.
The empress leaned back on the embroidered couch and looked at He Jinrong, while supporting her own jaw. She was wearing an embroidered golden and dark red dress on her body, her curves undulating like waves.
Her voice was gentle and wise: “Your father instructed you to get married, aunt will add more to your dowry, so that you can get married with honor and dignity. In the future your husband will also get promoted, so you can rest assured and just prepare for your marriage.”
He Jinrong’s chest rose and fell. She just refused to believe it, her aunt cherished her the most, could it be that she wasn’t even going to speak up for her ?
After hearing her plead for mercy, the empress smiled and said: ”Since your father is willing to let you come to the palace, I’ll explain the problem. The crown prince won’t accept any girl from the He family, so other than being married off far away, there is no other place for you to go.”
The crown prince’s rejection was simple and clear, and there was no room for maneuver.
He Jinrong was a high official’s daughter and a member of the empress’s family. Which noblewoman in Chang’an would not understand that a girl who had received such a harsh and exceptional upbringing was meant to be offered to one of the emperor’s son, to become a link between the He family and that man.
Therefore, if she couldn’t marry the crown prince, He Jinrong couldn’t stay in Chang’an either, because anyone who understood even a little bit of the key connections between the families wouldn’t be willing to marry her.
A woman that the crown prince didn’t want, other men would not dare to want her either.
