Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 9
~End of chapter 8
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.”
Chapter 9
(3.4)
Her legitimate sister looked very malicious and eerie. This scene seemed like a handy chiffon doll suddenly refused to let her owner play with her, making the owner’s heart give birth to evil intentions, and wanting to tear apart the doll’s four limbs, to reveal the white cotton wool and threads inside. The gentle smile on the corners of her lips looked dark and terrifying.
Xi Xian was so frightened that her hands started to slightly shiver, and her back turned cold and damp.
She thought she wouldn’t be afraid of her legitimate sister anymore, but now she realized that when she was actually facing her legitimate sister, she was still very terrified of her.
Although her legitimate sister never hit her, nor scolded her, nor even used insults to humiliate her, but the cold and gloomy aura surrounding her body always made Xi Xian want to avoid her.
Xi Xian took two more steps back, her wrist loosened and the bowl fell down at once, shattering into pieces, splashing the turmeric-yellow colored medicine on her pale-colored skirt and embroidered shoes.
Her apricot eyes were filled with tears as she gathered her hair and lifted her skirt to hurriedly flee, as if her legitimate sister was some kind of man-eating beast, and as if, if she didn’t leave right this instant, she would be held by the neck and choked to death.
Outside, the rain had stopped, Xi Xian hastily ran out of the courtyard door on her own, while hugging her arms. She was so tired, her chest tightened as she gasped for air, when she turned her head back, she found that her legitimate sister had not run after her.
She breathed a sigh of relief and covered her eyelashes with her white hands, before taking a deep breath.
Xi Xian told herself not to be afraid anymore, her legitimate sister did not do anything in this life, as long as she didn’t try to flatter and curry favor with her like she used to in her past life, maybe her legitimate sister wouldn’t dislike her so much.
When she opened her eyes again, Xi Xian found out that her legitimate sister was standing by the vermilion-colored wall of the courtyard, dressed in an azure luxurious long dress embroidered with gold, slender and tall, with her long black hair scattered behind her. She was playing with the silver comb in her hands. She revealed to her an elegant and relaxed smile.
Xi Xian suddenly noticed that only one half of the comb in her legitimate sister’s hand was left.
How could such a hard silver comb, with several precious stones embedded in it, end up broken like this?
Her complexion paled and she pursed her lips while she looked at her legitimate sister. From afar, she looked like a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered, the corners of her eyes were red, appearing both pitiful and cute.
And then her legitimate sister smiled, a smile that carried a doting undertone.
But in Xi Xian’s eyes, that smile looked somber like hell.

Xi Xian finally took a step back, her lips looked ghastly white and helpless, and she turned to leave.
She knew that her legitimate sister was very haughty, she couldn’t tolerate even the slightest disobedience, if she offended her, it wouldn’t end up well for her.
She could even think of the ways her legitimate sister had in store to punish her.
Xi Xian was very scared, she felt that she was stupid, if she had been as obedient as before, she would not have provoked her legitimate sister’s anger.
But after taking a few steps, she clenched her fist, and then felt that she had done the right thing.
When Xi Xian returned to the courtyard, she found Chun Cao and Qiu Feng waiting with their heads held high. She frowned slightly and asked, “Why didn’t I see you before when it was raining?”
Chun Cao and Qiu Feng looked at each other before saying, “The servants from the main courtyard told us servants to return first, saying that you had someone to take care of you, and they ordered us to come pick you up later.”
Xi Xian listened to the end before saying, “You can’t be like that in the future, without my permission, even elder sister’s words don’t count.”
Chun Cao nervously replied yes.
In fact, just before, those weren’t maids nor servant boys, they were two tall and sturdy men in black, with faces like demons, wearing long and eerie swords on their waist. Their iron arms held their shoulders back, telling them to stay away, saying that the main courtyard would take charge of escorting back their miss Xian’er, and that they weren’t allowed to mention this matter in front of miss Xian’er later when seeing her.
The aura surrounding their body was violent and carried the faint smell of blood, Qiu Feng’s two legs almost started shaking, and she couldn’t even speak one word.
The two of them did not dare to do anything, but they were afraid in their heart, so they waited here for a long time before they finally saw miss Xian’er come back. Seeing that her eyes were red, and her hair was a bit messy, they were so scared they were shivering.
Chun Cao hurriedly took a slightly thicker cloak to cover her, seeing Xi Xian’s thin, weak and pitiful look, she said: “Sixth miss, what did the eldest miss do?”
Xi Xian shook her head, unwilling to say more, but she said: “I angered that person in the main courtyard.”
Seeing her pale complexion, and her slightly disheveled hair, Qiu Feng had some guesses in her heart. What kind of person was Xi Heng?
