Kate and Hansen had left in the middle of the ceremony, which confused many ladies present there, but no one dared to find out
the reason. After all, noble families always had nasty secrets that were swept under the rug.
"How dare you!" Sue stepped toward Harper as soon as Kate left, intending to slap her.
Harper stepped back and dodged Sue's attempt. "Calm down, Mother. It's better if we keep what happened just now a secret.
Otherwise, it will affect Hailey's reputation," she said with a complacent smile.
Sue was furious, but what Harper had said was true. It was a stain on the reputation of the Chu Clan. If Hailey ever wanted to be
the wife of the crown prince, she had to be flawless.
"Bitch, I'll kill you!" Felicia leapt up growling in anger, but Yvonne was quicker. She ran quickly and hid behind Harper. Blinded by
her fury, Felicia went feral as her sharp nails clawed at Harper's face.
Harper kicked Felicia hard enough for her to fall clumsily on the floor. Yvonne mustered her strength to suppress her laughter at
the sight of Felicia's posture.
"Harper, you bitch! How dare you kick me! Mother, order the servants to beat her to death!" Sue stopped Felicia and stared at
Harper thoughtfully. Harper had maintained a remarkable degree of composure recently and that had made Sue uneasy. Sue
realized that she had underestimated Harper over the years.
"Don't create a scene here." Harper pulled her handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "Yvonne, what are you waiting for? Haven't
you heard what Lady Kate said? She has decided to allow you and Felicia to enter Prince Kevin's mansion on the same day.
Why don't you go back and have a talk with Lady Carrie?"
"Sure. Thank you, Harper. I'm leaving now, Mother." Yvonne hurried out of the hall and scampered towards the backyard. She
hadn't expected that Harper would help her by forcing Kate to accept her as Hansen's concubine. Carrie was right; Harper was a
hard nut to crack.
"What on earth do you want?" Sue's red eyes, blazing with anger, settled on Harper.
"Mother, there are still many guests waiting outside. I think you should get Felicia cleaned up. Only then will she be able to see
the guests. Lady Kate has stormed out with her son; everyone will start thinking that there is something wrong with Felicia. She
has to keep up her good appearance in order to maintain our clan's reputation," Harper smiled. "Grandma is waiting for me. You
will have to excuse me, Mother."
Harper turned around and walked away. Felicia's face was contorted with rage. Sue clenched her fists tighter as her nails sank
deeper into her palms. "Go clean yourself up and meet the guests. You are going to be His Highness's wife and Yvonne will be
nothing more than a concubine. She can gloat all she wants now, but after the wedding, her life is in your hands," Sue grunted
through her gritted teeth.
Harper. If Harper hadn't intruded in the matter, there was not the slightest possibility of Hansen taking Yvonne as a concubine.
"It's all because of Harper. If it weren't for her—"
Sue interrupted, "Don't worry. Her smugness will not last long." A vindictive look flashed across Sue's face. She had put up with
Harper for a long time. Now was the time to plot her downfall.
Harper had gone to meet Mavis in the Peony House, and she saw Carrie kneeling on the floor, shaking with fear.
nodded and looked at Carrie, who was still kneeling on the floor. "You've taught Yvonne good manners. The girl has grown into a slut. Felicia is still unmarried and yet she couldn't wait to become a concubine of Felicia's future husband. Does she have no shame? You better get back and keep a close eye on your daughter. If she dares to harm our clan's reputation again, I'll show no mercy to her. I swear." "Yes, Mother." Carrie left the Peony House. Harper shook her head as she watched Carrie leave. "Grandma, Yvonne is a lady of our clan and she is pregnant now. The wedding cannot be delayed; otherwise, it will be difficult to conceal her pregnancy. Don't be mad at her, Grandma. Yvonne knows to plan for herself. Felicia is an impulsive girl.
that it was going to make full use of the younger generation of the clan. "What's done is done. We must come up with the best course of action. Although it seems inappropriate for the two sisters to share a husband, it is better than the news of Yvonne's pregnancy before marriage. After the wedding, we can tell everyone that Felicia is pregnant, and register Yvonne's child as Felicia's. This way the two of them will support each other, and secure their positions in Prince Kevin's mansion," said
"Harper, do you still remember your maternal grandfather?" Mavis suddenly asked.Harper was shocked by the sudden question. "Father has told me that my mother's entire clan disappeared overnight. Is that
true?"
"Yeah, it's true," Mavis said thoughtfully. "Maybe they will come back one day."
"Really?" Harper had always thought that the disappearance of the Qin Clan and her mother's death were interlinked and had
something to do with the Chu Clan, but she couldn't find any clues. Moreover, all the old servants of the Chu Clan had either left
or died. Therefore, it was difficult to find out what happened to the Qin Clan.
"Who knows." Mavis exhaled a deep breath. "Regarding today's issue...Harper, I must say that you've handled it well. It's time for
you to plan for yourself."
"I know, Grandma," Harper said softly.
"Well, you must be tired after a busy day. Go back and rest well."
"Good night, Grandma. Don't forget to take your medicinal meal. You have to take good care of yourself." Harper instructed
Annie to cook medicinal meal for her grandmother and finally left.
Annie gazed at Harper's receding figure and said, "Harper is a devoted granddaughter."
think about herself. She plans more for others than for herself. I'm worried
has got you. You're there to plan for her future. That's why she doesn't worry about herself." Mavis smiled at Annie's words. Annie was right. She would take care of Harper and give her only the best. Harper saw Carrie waiting with Yvonne outside the Peony House. "Harper," Carrie called out. "Lady Carrie," Harper nodded in return. "Yvonne, you should know that although Lady Kate has accepted you and Mother hasn't opposed it, anything can change before the baby is born.
