Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 689

"No way!" Francis said decidedly. "I lost her once and I don't want to lose her again. Jason, don't you feel regretful?"

"No!" Jason exclaimed in a cold tone, hiding his emotions deep in his eyes.

Francis coughed, his hands tightly clutching his chest. "When your master accepted a junior disciple, you couldn't stop talking about your junior brother. And later when you found out that the junior brother was in fact a junior sister, you came to me in the middle of the night looking so flustered. You were beside yourself with happiness that you could not speak coherently. You even carved a jade pendant for her with your own hands. I remember she always wore the jade pendant every day."

When Jason heard that, it felt like something was about to spill from his eyes, but he managed to close them in time and said, "Francis, it's already too late! We have to accept the fact that she's Uncle Matthew's wife and our Aunt!"

"So what?" Francis said coldly. "Knowing that I love her, I should strive for her love. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"You could only strive for her love before she got married. Now, she has already become someone else's wife!" Jason felt so helpless at that moment. This was how Francis was. He was so stubborn that no one could convince him to stop once his mind was made up.

"Jason, even though she is married, she can still get a divorce peacefully. Other than that, she can become a widow as well," Francis whispered under his breath, but Jason was able to hear it anyway.

"You still want to take action against him?" Hearing him say such a thing, Jason couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, Matthew was not Lucas. The reason why Lucas could be dealt with so easily was mainly because of his limited ability and poor popularity. In comparison, Matthew was far from being like that. He was meticulous and had many talented followers. If Francis were to try to kill Matthew, he had to consider if he could bear the repercussions of his actions in case he failed to kill him off.

Turning around, Francis answered, "I won't take action against him. It will be the emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom who's going to do that. The emperor and Matthew have been sworn enemies. If he keeps Matthew detained in the Great Jade Kingdom, it won't have anything to do with me."

Looking at the receding back of Francis, Jason shook his head in disappointment. The reason why they decided to take action against Lucas was because they were afraid that there was a testamentary edict in Lucas' hands. Now that Lucas was already dead, even if the testamentary edict to appoint him as the heir of the late emperor really existed, it would not mean a thing anymore. However, Matthew was an entirely different matter. Once Matthew raised his arm in a call for action, countless people would echo with and follow him. If Francis really took action but failed to kill Matthew, his attempt to take Harper away from Matthew would definitely be a more than enough reason for Matthew to kill him.

"Chief."

"What's the matter?" Jason asked, trying to hold back his emotions. Hope was not yet lost. If he were to inform Harper about it in advance, the result might be different.
