1697 Has Never Thought About Marrying A Concubine
“I’m really happy now, Big Sis.” Ji Lingxiu did not deny it.
Ji Linghui sneered. “I think you’re delusional. That brother-in-law of mine is mediocre and incapable. All you can do is lie to yourself about it. You know the truth better than anybody else.”
“It’s not like that, Big Sis. Being happy has nothing to do with one’s capabilities. It’s enough that he treats me well.” Ji Linghui frowned and paused before continuing, “Besides, you’re not me. How would you know if I’m happy or not?”
Ji Linghui choked and pressed her lips as she stayed silent.
Ji Lingxiu sighed. “A person can only be happy once they recognize the reality of life and be content with what they have. It’s true that Zhiyang’s capabilities aren’t above average and he is not super intelligent, but he treats me very well. I’m the only wife he has after all these years and he has never thought about marrying a concubine. Moreover, I have a good relationship with my in-laws and I think that’s enough.”
“So, you’re here today to show off to me?” Ji Linghui’s face turned dark.
Ji Lingxiu shook her head. “I’m not showing anything off today. I just want you to be able to let things go and save yourself. Stop torturing yourself.”
Ji Linghui suddenly punched her legs, her eyes full of hatred. “Look at my legs. Do you think I can let this go? I can’t go anywhere and I need help no matter what I do. I’m just a useless person. Would I be in this predicament if it wasn’t for Lu Liangwei?”
This shocked Ji Lingxiu as she lowered her voice and said, “Forget about this, Big Sis. Let’s stop talking about it…” She panicked every time her older sister began to curse Lu Liangwei. She wished fervently she had something to gag her sister’s mouth.
How could she be cursing Lu Liangwei? Did she remember Lu Liangwei’s status in the country?
It was lucky their father arranged trustworthy people to serve her. Otherwise, her big sister would not be the only one in trouble if word got out. Even the entire Duke Ji family would be in trouble.
“What are you so afraid of?” Ji Linghui’s face was filled with anger as her expression turned vicious. “It’s her fault that I’m in this predicament.”
“Why are you holding on to this grudge when everything happened so long ago? Besides, you were the one who had struck her first.” Ji Lingxiu could not help saying this as she could not stand listening any longer.
All these years, her sister would curse Lu Liangwei whenever they met.
“What are you talking about?” Ji Linghui was enraged. “You’re my sister. How can you side with an outsider?”
Ji Lingxiu felt tired and frustrated, so she said, “I’m not siding with anyone. I’m just stating the facts.”
If her sister had been able to let this go after being exiled from the Palace and found herself a good man to marry, she might be living a happy life right now.
However, she was not able to let this go and ended up this way in the end.
At the end of the day, she had brought all of this onto herself. Who could she blame for it?
“To think I treated you as a sister, Ji Lingxiu. Yet, you’re hurting me where it hurts most. You’re truly heartless!” Ji Linghui shouted as she grabbed a platter of fruits next to her and threw it at Ji Lingxiu.
Ji Lingxiu did not expect her to do this and was not able to avoid it in time. A gash appeared on her forehead from being hit and she took a sharp breath from the pain.
She touched her wound and when she saw the blood on her fingers, her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Are you crazy, Big Sis?”
Ji Linghui was taken abacka s well. She quickly flung the platter in her hands away and took out a handkerchief to wipe away Ji Lingxiu’s blood.
“I didn’t mean it, Xiuxiu. I got agitated and hit you when you said those things about me. Does it hurt…” Tears fell from Ji Linghui’s eyes as she looked at Ji Lingxiu sadly.
