Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 40

Speaking of the poisoning incident, Felicia turned furious and hated Harper to the bones. For her, the most important thing for a woman was her appearance, but Harper had poisoned her, intending to ruin her beautiful face! If it hadn't been for her elder sister's superb medical skills, she would have been disfigured.

"Mother, Grandma has always been protective of her. If Harper were found to have poisoned the child of His Highness, Grandma would still protect her!" Felicia gnashed her teeth in hatred at the mere thought of how Mavis previously protected Harper. "How ignorant the old woman is! She dared to protect Harper, who is a jinx!"

"Shut up!" Sue cut her off as she got a little worried. She hastily looked outside and heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing no one was around. "From now on, never say such words again. Your father is filial. Hearing you talk like this, he will surely beat you to death!"

"Ok. I will never say that again, Mother," she answered almost immediately. Then in her earnest, she clutched Sue's arm and acted coquettishly. "Mother, tell me, how can I make both of them suffer?"

Sue merely patted her hand and smiled viciously, "You will know when the time comes!"

That night, Sue had prepared a family feast to celebrate the upcoming marriage of the two ladies. She invited all the family members to the banquet. It was Harper's first time to see so many people in the mansion. What surprised her more was that even Joey, Charles' concubine who seldom went out of her room, attended the banquet with her daughter Alexandra.

"Harper!" Alexandra got excited when she saw Harper, breaking free from Joey's grasp and running to her.

Harper's face immediately lit up as she squatted down and held her. "You're getting taller. Have you behaved yourself and be a good girl all the time? Have you eaten well?"

"Yes. I have a large bowl of rice for each meal!" Alexandra excitedly gesticulated with small hands, trying to make Harper understand her meaning. However, Joey was somewhat frightened, especially when Alexandra threw herself in Harper's arms and joked with her.

"Alexandra, come here. Don't bother your sister too much," Joey yelled at her daughter.

Harper held Alexandra up and chimed in, "It doesn't matter. Kids like making trouble. I guess that you've paid a lot of attention to her, Lady Joey."

Joey looked quite uneasy, and she was afraid that Alexandra would come into contact with other ladies. Although Harper didn't get along well with Sue, Joey was still afraid that she would help Sue deal with her and her daughter. She had no one to rely on and had only one child.

Sensing that Joey looked uncomfortable, Harper put Alexandra down and said, "Go to your mother's side. I'll play with you another day. When Father and Grandma come, don't forget to say hello to them."

"Okay, I won't forget that," Alexandra replied in a cute small voice before running to Joey happily. She took her mother's hand when she reached her side. But when she caught Felicia's eyes, she shivered with fear and hastily hid behind her mother.
