Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Harper remained in the Emerald House after the poisoning incident. Those who wanted her dead

couldn't find any chance to do

anything to her.

Yvonne's wedding dress had finally arrived. Prince Kevin's servants delivered the dreamy red dress.

When Yvonne tried it on

along with a crown of pearls on her head, her entire being glittered and moved Carrie to tears. Who

would have thought that her

daughter would find herself getting married in such a lovely gown and to a prince's heir no less? It was

one of those things she

did not let herself imagine as a concubine.

"Oh, my dear daughter! You look so beautiful in your wedding dress." Carrie couldn't help but admire

Yvonne. Say anything you

want about Charles and his shamelessness, but it couldn't be denied the good looks he had passed

down to his daughters.

Yvonne's happiness radiated from her. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she began to realize how

far she had come. She

was going to marry the heir of Prince Kevin tomorrow! After tomorrow's ceremony, no one would dare

insult her as the daughter

of a concubine. No one would dare beat her blue and black. She was going to step up in ranks and

become a member of the

imperial family.

"Mother, nobody would dare step on us now!" Yvonne said excitedly. From now on, her mother's status

in the Chu Clan would

improve. And even better, she wouldn't have to bow down to Sue anymore. She would outrank that

bitch from tomorrow.

Carrie grinned. "Prince Kevin's family still thinks highly of you. Take a look at the wedding dress, the

crown and the jewelry! They

all look so expensive, especially the wedding dress. It smells so good!"

Yvonne smelled the wedding dress on her body. It surely smelled nice. Prince Kevin's servants must

have sprayed some kind of

high-class perfume on the dress. How considerate they were! At midnight, a number of maids were

sent from the Prince Kevin's mansion to begin preparing Yvonne for her big day. Even though she

wasn't of noble birth, she was carrying Hansen's child. Besides, Kate had already felt attached to the

unborn child, and therefore, she treated Yvonne like a fragile glass. Because she had begun amassing

a considerable amount of money since taking over the family affairs of the Chu Clan, Carrie had some

money to spare. She gave the maids who attended Yvonne some silver to give thanks for all their hard

work. In turn, the maids expressed their gratitude. "Congratulations to Lady Yvonne!" Yvonne was

beside herself with joy and excitement. She couldn't believe how her life would turn out to be. Every

moment felt light and magical. It felt like she was in a dream she never wanted to end.

Charles' son was not in the Chu Clan mansion. So instead, Charles himself led Yvonne out of the

mansion. Watching as Charles led Yvonne, Carrie couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by emotions. Her

daughter would enter Prince Kevin's mansion now! She was going to be the wife to an heir of a real

prince! If she made good use of this new rank, she could wield unbelievable power within the Chu Clan.

Harper stood quietly along the sidelines, watching as servants lifted Yvonne into the bridal sedan chair.

Beside them was

Hansen, who was riding on a horse. A faint smile appeared on Hansen's face. Harper also caught a

glance of Felicia, who was

peeping at the door. Hatred distorted Felicia's face, which made Harper very happy.

Sue naturally noticed that Felicia sneaked out. In order not to offend Charles, Sue secretly sent the

servants to take Felicia away.

She cast a meaningful look at Carrie after making sure the servants did as told. Harper caught this little

interaction and realized

that she was not the only one who did something to Yvonne. It would be an eventful night tonight,

which was for sure. She could

only hope that Prince Kevin's mansion could withstand the chaos it was about to see tonight.

Charles and Carrie came back to the Chu Clan mansion first. Harper trailed behind them and so did

Sue. "You have tried so hard to help Yvonne. But it seems that Yvonne and Carrie don't appreciate

your kindness at all," Sue said mockingly. "What are you talking about?" Harper asked Sue with an

innocent look. Sue sneered and said, "Harper, don't make a mistake. A concubine can never break free

from who she truly is. And so do her daughter. The elders have this saying: A sparrow will never

become a phoenix even after it ascends unto a higher branch." Harper smiled and looked at Sue with

an odd expression that irritated Sue. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Sue asked,

doubt creeping in.

"Your words reminded me of something," Harper replied.

Even though her gut told her Harper couldn't have meant it as anything good, she couldn't help but ask,

"What do you mean?"

"Once a concubine, always a concubine," Harper said clearly. Sue's face instantly paled. She almost

wanted to slap Harper in

her face, but she held back. She used to think that Harper was an arrogant girl. Sure, she had

admirable medical skills. But she

wasn't too smart. And arrogant people like that were easy to control.

But after Harper came back from the place of execution, she had changed completely. She was no

longer arrogant and

aggressive. She became a considerate person. But there was something about her kindness that made

Sue wary.

"My Lady." Ruby pulled the sleeve of Sue as a warning. Sue drew her attention from Harper and went

inside the mansion.

'Things have just begun. And if Carrie thinks that everything will be just fine after her daughter marries

His Highness, then she's

simply stupid!' she thought angrily to herself. Carrie and Yvonne's bright future hung on Yvonne's

unborn child. If something were

to happen with Yvonne's child, there would be hell to pay.

Thinking of this, Sue looked resentfully at Harper's leaving figure. If it weren't for Harper, that bitch

wouldn't have become

Hansen's wife. This was unacceptable to her. She had once thought Carrie was a wise woman who

could do her a good favor in

the future. But it turned out she was also useless. In that case, there was no need to keep her alive.

The whole Chu Clan celebrated Yvonne's wedding. All of the family members gathered together for

dinner. At the party, Charles

was very happy and had a drop too much. Mavis was also very happy. But her old age seemed to

catch up with her and she got

tired easily after a short while. Annie helped her go back to her own room.
