Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 29

"Don't worry about that. No one can bully Hailey." Mavis patted on Harper's hand softly with a confident smile on her face. They
had sent Hailey to Imperial Academy of Medicine to acquire knowledge and upgrade herself. They wanted to make Hailey
absolutely suitable and up to the mark in every way before she would marry the crown prince in the future.
"Right," Harper agreed. Then she helped Mavis out of the bedroom. Just after Mavis washed her face, Sue came with Ruby. She
didn't look angry.
"Good morning, Mother," Sue greeted Mavis.
"I heard Hailey would come back today?" Mavis took a cup of tea from Harper and took a sip from it.
"Yes, Mother. Hailey wrote to say that she had been missing us and would come back to live with us for a few days." Sue knelt
on the floor to show her regards to Mavis.
"Where is Felicia?"
"Felicia's rash hasn't recovered yet. The doctor advised her to stay indoor as coming in contact with the wind may aggravate her
skin condition. So she couldn't come to see you. Please forgive her, Mother."
Just then, several concubines came in with Yvonne and Alexandra to pay respects to Mavis.
"Good morning, Mother."
"Get up, all of you." Mavis intended to make things difficult for Sue, but she didn't want to embarrass her in front of the other
concubines, so she asked Sue to get up as well.
"Good morning, Lady Sue, Harper," the concubines greeted.
"Good morning," Sue said in a displeased tone casting a glance at Yvonne.
Yvonne flinched. Carrie instantly dragged Yvonne behind her, afraid that Sue would do something to her daughter. Alexandra

had been hiding behind Joey all the time. She was so timid that almost no one noticed her.
Harper sat beside Mavis, playing with the tassel on her jade pendant quietly as if she saw nothing. Mavis uttered a few words
and asked them to leave. Even Harper prepared to go away as the others left. She had already conveyed what she had to say to
Mavis.

Harper was about to leave, Sue

face and even messy hair. "Oh my God, Mother, how could you be so cruel? Nanny Ruby offended me. So I have punished her slightly. Why did you beat her like this?" Harper cried out in shock. "Stop this nonsense!" Sue burst into fury. "I sent Ruby to invite you to have breakfast. You hit her in this way, and now you are putting the blame on me? Mother, can you see this? Harper is becoming more and more unreasonable. Ruby was my wet nurse and entered the mansion with me when I got married. Over the years, she has served our family and earned respect from everyone. She has a different status from the ordinary maids. But Harper has beaten her so ruthlessly. She is so vicious at such a young age. What would she do in

kindness but also beat me. Lady Harper said Lady Sue was just a concubine and had no right to have breakfast with her."
Mavis squinted her eyes and looked at Harper. After all, Harper had been arrogant before, and she could have beaten
somebody.
Harper took Nina's hand and put it on Ruby's face. "Ouch, Nina, what's wrong with your hand? The injury on Nanny Ruby's face
is wider than your palm. Why?"
Both Sue and Ruby were left dumbfounded by Harper's words. But before they could counter reply, Harper pulled Ruby's hand
and placed it on her face, saying, "Hey, Grandma, look! The injury on Nanny Ruby's face is almost the same as her hand. Maybe
the slap made her face swollen, and it even made her hand swollen as well. Right?"

Harper!" "I'm so sorry. I was

"Humph! You have even lied to Mother. I can't save you now. You may plead with Mother for mercy!" Sue tipped Ruby a wink. Ruby immediately kowtowed to beg for mercy. However, Mavis was not so coy to judge the situation in such a superficial way. It was self-injury inflicted by Sue and Ruby to win her trust. Mavis looked at Harper, and said, "It's not too much to kill a contriving servant who dares to frame a lady of the clan..." "Mother, Ruby has taken
