Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 937

Beth trembled with anger as she was forced out of the Joy Inn "Shame on you! Do you really think it's only you the Qin Clan can rely on? Just wait and see. You will come begging us someday."

Matthew stood by the window and watched Beth disappear into the crowd. His tone was serious when he said, "Harp, the Qin Clan should still be in Phoenix City, but they are hiding somewhere. This time they came to you, and maybe it's to gauge your limits."

"I agree. But I'm curious to know what drove them to this. After all these years, they should have known by now that I'm not the one who will make compromise easily." Something had been confusing Harper. If Rolando was a threat to the Qin Clan, they would have come back after he escaped. But why were they hiding? Did his escape endanger them? Or was there something else going on?

"You'll find out soon enough." With how powerful Harper was now, Matthew didn't think the Qin Clan would give up. They must have some hidden plans to exploit her with.

Killing intent stormed out of Matthew as he thought of how the Qin Clan planned to take advantage of his wife. He wouldn't allow anyone to use her or bully her.

Harper frowned. "I am wondering if Felton..."

"If Felton behaves like the rest of the Qin Clan, I will kill them all and start with him. You have been too tolerant of them. You should treat them the way you treated the Chu Clan. Then, the Qin Clan wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous with you." Matthew's voice was cold and cruel.

Staring at him, Harper asked, "Do you think I'm that soft-hearted?"

"It's not that you are soft-hearted. You just blindly believe in the Qin Clan. You know nothing about them. Excluding Felton, do you know any of the other power holders of the Qin Clan?" Matthew looked at Harper and asked seriously. He knew she wasn't reckless enough to decide to help the Qin Clan without knowing all their history and background.

Harper smiled indifferently. "Darling, I have you. Besides, I'm not interested in any members of the Qin Clan except Felton, so there is no need for me to contact them. I helped the clan for Felton's sake. It was mutually beneficial. The Qin Clan provided me with the information I wanted and I found a solution. After all, just like them, I need to solve the whole matter."

"What would you do if Felton betrays you and sides with the other members of the Qin Clan?" Matthew asked calmly, looking into Harper's eyes. If Harper showed any sign of hurt over such a thing happening, he would help her get rid of Felton.

Harper replied sullenly, "Then we will no longer be friends."

"It's good that you accept that." Even though Matthew thought it was a cruel thing to say that, he still had to remind Harper. Over the years, she was getting soft-hearted.

Harper lowered her head, deep in thought. She realized that she had been too kind over the years. She had never rejected the Qin Clan's requests, nor revealed that she'd had any contact with them. When they met in public, she pretended she didn't know Felton to avoid exposing the traces of the Qin Clan. But now it seemed that her thoughtfulness had backfired. It became the reason for the Qin Clan's members, those who had been hiding in the darkness all year round, to act shamelessly.

A little after midnight, a man fell into Harper's room. Instead of fighting, Matthew lit a candle in the room and said, "I didn't expect you to come so soon."

The man was dressed in a night suit, looking badly injured. He looked from Harper's sleeping form to Matthew. "Stop staring at her. I knew someone from the Qin Clan would come, so I put her to sleep, and she won't be waking up anytime soon."

The man took off the mask and showed a pale but familiar face. "Your Highness, I'm Samuel, Master Felton's servant. We have met before."

"So, where is Felton?" Matthew asked gloomily. "Using my wife is a serious crime. You know I can't tolerate anyone hurting her, either physically or emotionally. In my book, it's unforgivable to even make her a little sad."

The corners of Samuel's mouth twitched. In his mind, the prince was too domineering. But he didn't dare say that right now.

"Lady Victoria, the old lady of the Qin Clan, has put him under house arrest." Samuel took a deep breath. "Master Felton is in poor health, but Lady Victoria won't let him out. There is no doubt he'll die if he continues like this."

"Why is the Qin Clan treating him like this?" Matthew asked indifferently. He wasn't interested in the Qin Clan. His only interest was his wife, so he had to protect her from those who would mean her harm.

Samuel sighed helplessly. "The inner works of the Qin Clan aren't as harmonious as they seem. Living in darkness for twenty years destroyed the clan's original morals and purpose. Although Master Felton is one of the inheritors, his weak body has left him incapable of ruling the whole clan. So Lady Victoria appointed Douglas, her second grandson, to be the heir. His followers have different ideas from Master Felton's. And Master Felton often traveled outside. That's why things are what they are today."

"That is to say, the Qin Clan has split."
