Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 46

The farce in the Chu Clan mansion had ended. Harper went back to her own house. She had asked Nina and Anabel to hide
away for a few days so that they could avoid being framed. Since Enya and Elsie were secretly working for Sue, Harper didn't
dare to order them around. Perhaps it was because she came back too late that they didn't show up.
When she entered her room, she saw a man sitting on a chair and flipping through the notebook she wrote.
"Why are you here?" It was the masked man she had healed when he broke into the Chu Clan mansion with injuries.
The masked man threw the notebook on the table and pursed his lips as he looked at Harper. "You made a big show today!"
Instead of answering him, Harper opened the window and looked around for anyone who might overhear.
"Stop looking. There's nobody here. I also knocked out your two maids," he explained slowly as if he knew what Harper was
worried about.
Harper shut the window and sat opposite him. "Are you getting better?"
"Yes." The man folded his arms across his chest. "Your medicine's very useful."
"Since you're already healed, why did you come here? I don't think I have anything that you would want," she said tentatively.
"I came here to look for something but I got curious about all the lights and shooting in the Chu Clan mansion. So I stayed aside
and watched the whole scene. What poison did you use on your sister to make her lose her mind?" This woman always
surprised him; he wanted to know just how many secrets she had.
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Harper glared at him.
"Woman, don't be afraid of me," the man said coldly. "If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already."
"I know." If she had sensed a murderous aura from him, she wouldn't have sat still and waited for her death.
"You know?" The man snorted at her words. "As a physician, you should know the effects of the drug. You knew that Felicia
would attack you when she lost her mind. Why didn't you defend yourself?"
For all Harper expected the man to make trouble, it never occurred to her that he would ask her this question. "If I defended
myself, they would've seen through my trick."

"You're powerful; it wouldn't have been a problem for you to kick her over."
"Most of the people in the Chu Clan are cunning. I must have some tricks up my sleeve to save my life in the nick of time." It was
awkward for the two of them to just sit there so Harper asked, "Do you want to have some tea?"
"Yes."
While Harper was preparing the tea, the man watched her quietly. He just wanted to see her so he came to the Chu Clan

mansion but unexpectedly caught her plotting against her sister.
The man sipped the lotus leaf tea that Harper made. It was simple but had a special taste. After a moment, he passed a bottle to
Harper. "It's for your wounds."
"I'm not hurt!" Harper said blankly.
The man tapped his neck and Harper mimicked the motion, flinching at the sting she felt. She didn't notice that Felicia had

able to get it, let alone this cream." "Thank you." Harper smiled. "That's a gift for you saving my life before. If you feel too embarrassed to take it, you can give me another bottle of the medicine you applied on my wounds before," the man replied. "No," Harper refused without hesitation. "The Skin-smoothing

situation just sounded like a loss for Harper and it confused the man on why she still did it. "Whether it's worth it or not, it depends on me," Harper replied and she took a sip of her tea. It was getting hotter recently, but the weather was cooler at night so it wasn't so hot in the room. "Aren't you afraid that they'll

Harper thought about this possibility seriously. "I'm afraid of them. But if they turn against me, I'll let them know what it feels like
to be in the hell."
"Do you want to cooperate with me?"
"What do you do?" Harper asked curiously. "Look at your mask. You broke in the Chu Clan mansion at night. I don't think you
look like a good man! Are you a notorious robber or a famous killer?"
The man's mouth twitched subtly. "Killer."
"I don't like killing," Harper replied firmly. "Besides, I don't have any mortal enemies who I hate so much that I want to kill them."
"Even after those women schemed against you?"
"Those were just tricks. If I hire a killer, it's just making a mountain out of a molehill." Harper shook her head. "I don't need it."
That stunned the masked man. "Other than killing, I have my own business."
"What kind of business? Is it a killer organization or a brothel?" Harper asked curiously.
The man's eyes grew cold when he heard this. When she saw his eyes, she laughed. "Don't take it seriously. It's just a joke."
"It's a regular business, a restaurant." The man shot a displeased glance at her.

with her silver hairpin before her eyes lit up again. "You run a restaurant; you must have a
