Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 834

Giggling behind her hand, Harper said, "Marquis Travis, please don't tease me. Every time your son sees me, he's always so attentive and vigilant, as if he's afraid that I might trick him. How could he have affection for me? Back then, the reason why he agreed to go to the north domain as I had required was that your clan was having a hard time. I knew that it was like walking on thin ice despite all of your glories on the surface. He wanted to take another route of retreat by cooperating with Matthew and me."

At this point, Travis was becoming a little furious. He knew his own son too well. Once Shawn blinked his eyes, he would immediately understand what he was thinking. It was impossible for Shawn to be vigilant against Harper. Travis was afraid that even if Harper told him to die, Shawn would court death without a single thread of hesitation. Moreover, every time he spoke ill of Harper, Shawn would be so upset very quickly and would even brutally argue with him. All facts that he had were leading to one thing, that his only son loved Harper very much.

"What I'm saying is true. My son really—"

"What about me?" Shawn's voice was suddenly heard out of the blue, interrupting his father. "What are you two talking about? You look quite happy. Why did you mention me?"

At his son's sudden appearance and questions, the expression on Travis' face gradually changed. At the same time, Harper smiled and replied, "Marquis Travis was telling me about the interesting stories of your childhood."

"Interesting stories of my childhood..." Shawn slowly repeated. As soon as Travis saw the subtle expression on his son's face, he realized what Shawn had remembered. Beaming with joy, Travis immediately said,

"Well, we just talked about that time when I threw you into the military camp for the first time. I told her how you were picked on by the soldiers to the point that you teared up."

Upon hearing that, Shawn blushed in embarrassment. "I didn't know there was such a thing."

A faint smile flickered across Harper's lips. She looked around, but didn't find any physician with Shawn. Immediately, she silently asked him with her eyes why he hadn't brought Physician Gore back with him.

"Physician Gore was out collecting medicinal herbs. The people there said that he would come back tomorrow. I have already planned to personally come to him again." As soon as the topic of conversation was shifted to business, Shawn regained his composure and calmness in an instant.

Nodding her head, Harper said, "If Physician Gore refuses to come, you can tell him that I will write down the silver needle acupuncture method for him if he agrees to take care of Lady Wendy. He has been very eager to learn the method for a long time."

A glimmer of light flashed in Shawn's eyes. In the end, he only said two words. "Thank you."
