Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 41

The next morning, Harper went to the Peony House to visit Mavis.
It was normal for Mavis to see Harper at such an early hour, so she wasn't surprised at all. "Harper, you've been coming here
earlier and earlier recently."
"Am I bothering you, Grandma?" Harper asked as she helped Mavis clean up.
"No. I mean you could be getting more sleep. You don't have to come here so early just for greetings." It was true that Mavis
loved her from the bottom of her heart and she patted Harper's head. If Harper didn't deceive her, Mavis would never thought of
sending her to the Imperial Palace.
"It's my pleasure to serve you, Grandma." There wasn't any sign of impatience on Harper's face as she skillfully and carefully
helped Mavis freshen up and served her at the dining table.
"You're such a filial girl," Mavis said and sighed. "Have a seat. Let's eat together."
"Yes, Grandma." They then sat next to each other. Harper served Mavis at the dining table and she enjoyed the meal very much.
As they finished their meal, Harper brought a cup of tea for Mavis to rinse her mouth. "Grandma, Yvonne and Felicia are getting
married. Mother asked me to give them gifts, but I don't know what I should give them. Do you have any idea?"
A flash went through Mavis' eyes when she heard Harper. "Did Sue ask you to prepare gifts?"
"Yvonne and Felicia are going to get married. I'm the elder sister and I'm supposed to give them gifts. But over the years, I don't
have much savings and I've been squandering the money. It's lucky that Grandma took care of my late mother's dowry.
Otherwise, I would have squandered it. Now Yvonne and Felicia will be married to His Highness. I don't have anything good and
I don't know what I should give them, so please give me a suggestion."
The confusion on Harper's face worried Mavis about her innocence, but she stopped Annie from reminding her.
"What do you want to give them, Harper?" Mavis asked with a smile.
"I'm not good at anything. I only know a bit about medicine. Yvonne's pregnant so I can do my best and help her with my medical
skills. But for Felicia..." Harper sighed. "I can't ignore Felicia and favor Yvonne. They're both my sisters, so I have to be fair."
The answer satisfied Mavis. "Yes, you're all sisters. You don't have to do it yourself. I'll help you prepare the gifts."

"No way!" Harper refused with a shake of her head. "Mother asked me to prepare the gifts myself to show my sincerity. If she
knew Grandma prepared the gifts for me, she'd be unhappy."
It nagged at Annie to see Harper look like she was in a dilemma. 'Lady Harper, you're too innocent. The reason why Lady Sue

asked you to prepare the gifts is that she must have some other ulterior motives, ' she thought.
"You don't have much money. If the presents you prepared are too cheap, Sue would be unhappy. But you won't be able to afford
expensive gifts." Mavis took her hand. "How about this? I'll pick things from your mother's dowry and let someone bring them to
Yvonne and Felicia as their wedding gifts. Since your mother's dowry will also be your dowry in the future, it's not a big deal for
you to give things to your sisters as gifts. What do you think?" Mavis offered with a smile.

should prepare. She asked me to make a decision for her." Mavis took a glance at Charles with a teacup in her hand. "I've prepared the gifts for her." "Sorry to bother you, Mother." While he didn't fully understand what Mavis

have you done recently?" "I've been reading some books about

father. "It's said that a woman's ignorance is bliss but women should learn about moral principles and etiquette."
Charles nodded with satisfaction. "How was your reading?"
"I've finished but I found that I'm not good at needlework. I'm learning embroidery from the maids these days and I'm thinking of
embroidering something for you and Grandma. But I'm not skillful at it so I haven't finished them yet," Harper replied quickly.
"That's enough as long as you're thinking about us." A smile appeared on Mavis' lips. "We both know that you've been working
really hard lately."
A nod was Harper's only response. She then excused herself when she saw Mavis and Charles were about to have a long
conversation. Felicia and Yvonne would marry Hansen in the same day, and this would become the hot topic in the city.
Nina followed behind Harper and said, "My Lady, although most of Lady Kelly's dowry is kept by Lady Mavis, I think..."
"Of course, I can't give things my mother left to other people," Harper replied immediately. "And I can't prepare any gifts for
them."
Nina thought for a while and asked, "My Lady, do you mean...?"
"Let's go back. I'll greet Grandma alone tomorrow. You two don't have to be with me. You buy some cloths with Anabel. I'll tailor

to go to Yvonne's place, she saw Serena walking along the road not far away from them. But Serena moved so fast and disappeared in a blink. "My Lady, that seemed to be Lady Serena." There had always been something odd about Serena, who was bewitching, charming, and strange, much like a colorful
