Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 97
~End of chapter 96
Seeing the crown prince carefree and confident, the old matriarch Lin began to sigh again in her heart.
What was this all about?
Lin Zixian thought that the crown prince was speaking for her, so her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head, no longer intervening, as she savored his words in her heart, remembering all the things of their childhood, her feelings started to slowly ferment.
The old matriarch looked at her granddaughter, feeling helpless.
Chapter 97
A woman’s life, when young they thought that finding a good husband was everything, but only when they grew old would they come to realize that everything was false, life was the same no matter who you spend it with.
The feelings and experiences of youth would later set the tone of a lifetime, which was why one should not, because of love, fly into the flames like a moth.
The old matriarch Lin thought for a while, and faintly said to Lin Zixian: “You go to the front of the residence to greet the guests, your older sisters are married now, the family is only left with you as the only miss of the house, before, when your second sister was here, she used to attend to all the ladies of the same age and entertain them, without neglecting anyone, but look at you, you’re still here with grandmother, hiding and being lazy.”
The old lady’s tone was a little reproachful, and also a little helpless.
After all, that was her youngest granddaughter, the other few children after her did not survive, and there were not many boys in the family, so this child had been pampered since birth to the extent where she didn’t know how high heaven was.

(37.1)
Lin Zixian who first returned to the banquet with anger saw Xi Xian sitting alone silently beside her grandmother, without causing trouble and making a disturbance, she was well-behaved and refined, so the angry fire in Lin Zixian’s heart rushed upward.
She couldn’t talk with Taizi gege, but had to go entertain some random girl. Besides, the fact that her grandmother was strangely annoyed with her for no reason, wasn’t it all because she said a few words of criticism about Xi Xian ?
Her grandmother was also really something ! How could Xi Xian be worthy of such a good jade bracelet ? Previously, she had also asked her grandmother for it, but was stopped with a laugh, saying that she couldn’t spoil her, and that she didn’t need to wear these things at her young age.
Then, Xi Xian needed to?
Her gaze moved down, and she saw Xi Xian prettily speaking with her grandmother, having a sweet smile on her lips from time to time, being praised by a few older women beside her, who were saying that she had a blessed face, and because she was the youngest among them, they also started to tease Xi Xian about her marriage.
The old matriarch of the Duke of Su’s residence said with a smile, “With these good looks, now that she has come of age, people who are looking for marriage are going to break the threshold of your door, but I don’t see who is the one older sister has chosen.”
She not only had good looks, but was also talented, and had a good reputation.
Only someone close to the old lady Xi would be joking like this, morever, in this kind of banquet, people with the proper age would all inquire about the news, and with such a mention, the Xi family would have more face in the future when it comes to choosing a son-in-law.
But this made Lin Zixian, who was looking at this scene, feel that Xi Xian was not worth so much in the end.
And then she heard them laugh and count the number of people who asked for Xi Xian’s hand in marriage, some people were of equal status and that could be forgotten, but some people were men of the imperial clan, and although they couldn’t be compared to the crown prince’s imperial majesty, but they really were men that most daughters from noble families would dream of.
However, the old matriarch Xi just smiled without saying anything, not having the intention to explain, which made the crowd extremely curious.
Regarding this topic, other old ladies could speak of it, but Xi Xian couldn’t.
A girl publicly speaking of her own marriage would be judged too shameless, so she could only shyly lower her head, refusing to say anything.
Lin Zixian started to feel it was strange. Xi Xian, a girl with such an origin, it would be reasonable to say that if she reached such a degree, her family should not be picking and choosing, and be so extremely picky about it, for perhaps if they waited for too long, even the families with the intention to marry right now could end up choosing another person.
Unless ……
Unless Xi Xian had the intention to enter the palace.
Lin Zixian was startled by her own thoughts.
But then thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was very plausible.
The Xi family was an ancient clan, so actually the origin of her bloodline was not bad, and since Xi Xian naturally could not possibly become the old emperor’s concubine, then she would enter the palace intending to marry His Highness, the crown prince.
If the Xi family had a daughter which was a favored imperial consort, perhaps recovering the family’s ancient glory was not impossible.
Lin Zixian then started to size up Xi Xian, she looked beautiful, but unfortunately her skin was not snow white, and with such a posture and looks, she could not be said to be outstanding.
His Highness could have any woman.
If Xi Xian entered the palace, she would only be snubbed, besides her family was not powerful, so she could only ever rely on her own appearance.
Lin Zixian’s heart was flooded with disgust.
What kind of woman would dare stick herself to Taizi gege for profit ? In the end, that was the face of someone with insatiable greed, did she really think she was some kind of cinderella or what ?
Pushing away other families using all kind of excuses, taking advantage of that and appearing well-behaved, while thinking with all of her heart of the noble man holding extreme power in his hands, this kind of woman was very much a wh*re.
As Lin Zixian thought so, she leisurely lifted the tea cup she was holding, and smiled generously at Xi Xian: “Sixth miss Xi, I’ll use tea instead of wine to make a toast to you, today when I saw you, it was like seeing an old friend, I only hope we can be good sisters in the future. Please, don’t refuse me.”
