Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 113

After thinking long and hard, Hailey glanced at Sue, who was still lying unconscious, and said through her gritted teeth, "I have no choice but to make a plan for myself."

"My Lady?"

Giving Sue one final glance, Hailey had made up her mind. Sue was going to die if things went on like this. Hailey was still young and she had her whole life ahead of her. But now, all of that had a possibility of going down the drain. She had to come up with a plan, and she had to do it quick. She had to find a way to get herself registered as the legal wife's daughter on the official records. Otherwise, she would remain inferior to others all her life.

Hailey went to meet Charles and told him that her future would be ruined if she were to remain as a concubine's daughter on the official records.

"Father, Mother is seriously ill, and on the official records her is still a concubine. I'm afraid that I will have no chance to be the crown prince's wife as long as I'm a concubine's daughter. For the future of the Chu Clan, I hope you can find a way to register me as Lady Kelly's daughter on the official records." Hailey was straightforward. "I hope you can agree with that."

Thinking about it for a while, Charles came to the sudden realization that Hailey was trying to make a bargain with him. She would stop pursuing the matter regarding Sue being poisoned, but in turn, she wanted to be registered as Kelly's daughter. This condition sounded fair enough to him. "Alright," he nodded.

"What if Grandma and Harper...?"

"I'll take care of them. Don't worry, I will handle this."

"Thank you, Father. I'll be leaving now."

In truth, Harper was aware of Hailey's every move, but she had no intention of stopping her whatsoever. Anabel, on the other hand, couldn't help feeling worried. "How could you be so calm, My Lady? Lady Hailey wanted to besmirch your name in front of your father. She actually claimed that it was you who poisoned Lady Sue!"

As she looked at the coat which was just about finished, Harper simply smiled and said, "Don't worry. Father isn't going to believe her. She can't influence Father's decision."

"My Lady, aren't you worried at all that Lady Hailey might do something to put you in a bad light?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Father knows the truth and I believe he won't let her accuse me of something I didn't do. If she is smart enough, she should realize that the best course of action to take is to simply let it go. She's only going to make Father hate her if she tries to find out more about the truth of Sue being poisoned." Making a knot at the end of the thread, Harper put away the needle. With that, this coat was finally done, just in time before autumn arrived.

"The coats for Lady Mavis and Prime Minister Charles are finally ready," Nina exclaimed. "Would you like to have the clothes sent over right now?"

"I'm going to pay Grandma a visit first thing tomorrow morning. I'll take the clothes with me," Harper said with a big smile on her face. Hailey was a crafty person. Now that she knew Charles wasn't interested in investigating about Sue's illness any further, she would definitely try to find another way out of this predicament she was in. To make the most of what was happening, she would ask Charles to have her registered as Kelly's daughter, and he would have no other choice but to approve it to make sure Hailey would stop questioning Sue's illness. Both of them would benefit from this arrangement. Harper definitely wouldn't let something like that happen.
