"What did you just say?" Harper asked in surprise. What she had just heard was unbelievable.
"Sue is planning to help Charles take some concubines," Serena whispered in Harper's ear. "Last night, Charles slept in my
place and he told this to me personally. And he has already agreed."
"Why are you telling me this, Lady Serena?"
"Because you're the only one in this mansion who has the ability as well as the intention to stop it," Serena answered. "Harper, if
we let Sue out again, she will be a big threat to you."
"What do you want out of this?" Harper asked in a soft yet determined voice. Serena must have some vested interest in this.
After all, she was not a saint. And even a saint could not be without any desire.
Serena's expression changed subtly after she heard Harper's words. But soon, she broke into a smile as she said in a
suppressed voice, "I want the Chu Clan destroyed!"
"No way!" Harper refuted. "As long as I'm alive, no one can ever dare to destroy the Chu Clan. Do you intend to kill me as well?"
"No, Harper. I know that you won't do that. The only person who genuinely loves you in this entire Chu Clan mansion is Lady
Mavis. The only reason behind you refraining from destroying this place is just because she is still alive. Once she passes away,
you won't spare Chu Clan either," Serena said in an affirmative tone. "Harper, you are not an ordinary person. You know it very
well that you will leave the Chu Clan sooner or later. But I can't. I have spent my whole life here. I want to see the Chu Clan
destroyed in front of my own eyes, buried with my poor child."

"Do as you like. Thank you for sharing this precious little information with me." Harper left without looking back. Sue was
contriving to come out once again. She was daydreaming for sure. Since Harper had already cornered Sue to a dead end, she
had to make sure that Sue could not come out ever again. Otherwise, it would become next to impossible to bring her to death

had a son, which kept him hassled most of the time. Even Mavis remained worried because of this. Hence, when she heard that he wanted to take concubines, she agreed without hesitation. With a series of unpleasant events

Mavis said. "Even though it is about Charles taking concubines, Harper should be informed. After all, she is in charge of the household affairs and a lot of things have to be handled by her." "Okay." "Good day, Grandma and Father." Harper entered and paid regards to her grandma and father. "Harper, we have something to tell you." There was a complacent smile on Mavis' face as she gestured for Harper to sit down. "It's been a long time since we had some happy event at the Chu Clan. I want to choose a few concubines for your father. And I want you to take care of some of the affairs." "But Grandma, I'm still unmarried. How can I handle something like this? It does not sound appropriate." "That's

Why don't you marry a new wife instead, Father? I think you should give it a thought, particularly, given your social status.
Instead of having more concubines, it will be better if you have a legal wife who can give birth to more children."
Mavis and Charles were surprised to hear Harper's words. What she said made sense and they had not even thought of it before
she mentioned it. They subconsciously thought Sue was the hostess of the mansion, but they had forgotten that Sue was a
concubine herself. Even though she had always been regarded as his wife, she was always a concubine on the official
documents. It was the law of this dynasty to protect the identity of the legitimate wife and her offspring, and to prevent the
favored concubines from harming the legitimate wife.
