Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 43

Mavis once again lurched forward and hit Sue with her walking stick. Seeing this, Harper got up and caught hold of Mavis.
"Grandma, calm down. Getting angry is bad for your health," Harper said while sobbing uncontrollably. Mavis turned her gaze at
Harper and noticed Sue's handprint on Harper's fair face. She was already furious but this intensified her anger.
Just when this was happening, Charles returned home. He was informed by a servant that Sue was creating a scene in Peony
House. Realizing the matter must be serious, he quickly rushed over there. "What happened, Mother? Why do you look so
angry? If there's something wrong, I can deal with it."
In this agitated state, Mavis couldn't even say anything. She continued staring at Sue. At that moment, Sue became the villain
who had come with an unreasonable complaint. "Charles, you must seek justice for me. Harper was so vicious as she had given
poisoned wedding gifts to Yvonne and Felicia. Right now, they are lying in bed, unconscious. I am particularly worried about
Yvonne since she is pregnant. And let's not forget she is carrying His Highness's child. If something happens to her, what will we

After listening to this, Charles merely made his way towards Sue and placed a tight slap in her face. This took her completely off-

soaked in pain and humiliation.
By now, Mavis had regained her ability to speak. Bitterly, she pointed her finger at Sue and said, "I was the one who had

I was ashamed since I didn't have anything presentable to gift my sisters. I voiced my sorrow to Grandma who prepared them for me." Sue knelt down on the ground, shocked. She felt like a heavy blow had been thrown on her. Thinking about it for a while, she quickly responded, "Oh wait! You must have poisoned them before you brought them to me. You planned to frame your grandmother. Harper, you are so vicious. Your grandmother has always been nice to you,

Harper was the culprit. "Charles, this woman is hell-bent on making Harper a criminal. Why can't she just accept Harper?" Mavis thumped her chest. "Harper is just a child who has lost her mother. But Sue is

"Mother, don't say that! I want to accept her with my whole heart. But it is Harper who is making that impossible. She is after
Yvonne and Felicia," Sue argued.
Harper wiped the tears on her face and said, "Mother, Grandma prepared the wedding gifts. And her maid Flora was the one
who brought them to you. Along the way, Nanny Annie joined us. Under the circumstance, I never had the opportunity to even
touch them! So tell me, how can I poison them?"
"What?" Sue was at a loss of words. She had never anticipated such a reply from Harper. It suddenly occurred to her that this

about it, she realized that Harper had already been alert. "My Lord, Princess Kate is here!" On seeing this, Charles was a bit stunned. He wanted the Chu Clan's domestic matter to be solved by themselves. But Kate was a great deal worried about
