Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 87
~End of chapter 86
When she ordered her daughter to please Xi Heng, it was just because she wanted her to have a better life, after all, Xi Xian was young, she was a child alike a soft bun, very lovely.
But née Qin didn’t dare to have any improper thoughts, for it would make her feel like she was backstabbing her master.
How could the daughter of a spy be with her superior lord?
It was too taboo, something even she didn’t even dare to think about.
Chapter 87
(32.3)
Xi Xian, however, did not understand anything, she was just lazily leaning on the couch, with her silky black hair spread out on her dark red satin embroidered with gold dress, and when she opened her eyes, from her side face, the meridians on her slender neck were faintly visible.
She looked so delicate and incomparably fragile, like a gift given to née Qin by the heavens.
Née Qin had never imagined that someone as humble as her could give birth to a girl so loved by heaven.
Xi Xian propped up her body. Seeing her concubine mother with a dazed expression, she tilted her head in confusion, “Mom …… you’ve been unhappy these past few days, what is it about?”
Née Qin gently stroked Xi Xian’s head and held her in her arms, softly saying, “Nothing, Xian Xian don’t worry.”
Xi Xian arched her eyebrows and smiled. Tilting her head, she rubbed her head against her concubine mother’s hand, and didn’t say anything else.
Xi Xian’s coming of age hairpin was a gift from her legitimate sister, but her legitimate sister herself did not come.
It was a very simple white jade hairpin. The surface of the hairpin was carved with fine vines, and Xi Xian could not recognize which kind of plant it was. The head of the hairpin was a small rabbit, with a plump body, its eyes were embedded with two tiny rubis stone, glowing with a deep luster.
Xi Xian liked this hairpin too much, it was completely different from the one she got in her previous life.
In her last life, Xi Xian’s coming of age ceremony was very simple, compared to today, it was incredibly simple. Her legitimate sister was worshipping the Buddha, and as usual didn’t care about such a small matter, but what was similar was that her coming of age’s hairpin was also a gift from her legitimate sister.
The young girl at that time felt that the hairpin was really too gorgeous, made of fine gold and very delicate, carved with phoenix feathers, and a phoenix neck wrapped around the hairpin with cold blue eyes. When she weighed the hairpin in her hands, it was quite heavy, and didn’t match at all with how weak and petite she was.
Her face even turned a little pale and numb, as she held that hairpin, feeling like she was holding someone else’s thing.

After Xi Xian’s coming of age ceremony was finished, she became a young woman.
Her first menstruation also arrived half a month after her coming of age.
Before it came, the pain in her chest was stifling, her mood was extremely irritable, and occasionally when she practiced writing, she would end up tearing the paper after two words to rewrite the words again.
In fact, the large characters that Xi Xian practiced writing, as well as everything she copied, Ziyu collected them all.
She did not know what Ziyu was collecting them for, for she did not think that her legitimate sister would have the time to look at her words, or to care about whether or not she was serious in her writing practice, so she did not care.
Whether it was in her previous life or in this life, Xi Xian’s first menstruation came very late, and perhaps because she was born with weak bones, even if her first menstruation came late, she was not able to get taller in size.
The first day, it hurt like hell. She thought it would be better in this life, and never expected it to be still as painful. Her face was deadly pale, she couldn’t control her breath, and her head was extremely dizzy.
So the Xi old matriarch was also very busy on her end, looking for famous doctors to examine Xi Xian and prescribe her medicines to nourish and warm her energy.
Xi Xian thought it was nothing. In her last life, she had been in pain for so many years and had never been able to get better. She heard that it would be better if she had a child, but she did not have the chance to give birth to one.
Thinking about it, Xi Xian became even more unhappy.
At this moment, Ziyu lifted the curtain and came in, respectfully handing a stack of paper to Xi Xian on the bed.
Xi Xian’s silky black hair was loosely tied, her body was draped in a honey-colored smock, her face was unpowdered, revealing her simple and weak nature, her thick eyelashes were drooping, creating a small shadow on her pale face, she slowly looked through the papers and said: “…… This is?”
Ziyu immediately replied: “Mistress is busy, a few days ago, she looked at all the scriptures and large characters you sent, but did not write any comment.”
“But the mistress circled some insufficiencies in the scriptures and the large characters you wrote, to warn you to correct your attitude.”
Xi Xian looked through a few sheets of paper. All of them were circled with vermilion ink at the places where the writing was crude and not serious enough.
Each character that was circled was very correct, but each circle was coldly rigorous and critical, not even bothering to comment on her mistakes.
Xi Xian’s face turned even paled, and unable to resist the painful itch, she coughed delicately twice, and covered her forehead to softly suppress her cough, “So, what does this even mean?”
Ziyu said: “The mistress said, if you have time then rewrite it, you can forget about everything else, but your writing skills can not fall short.”
