Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 690

Arrangements had been made by Francis for Harper to stay in the Sleek Palace. It was a well-known fact to everyone that the
Sleek Palace was the place where the future empress was supposed to live. Meaning to say, Francis did this deliberately and his
purpose could not be more obvious. Harper was someone who held a special place in his heart. Knowing this, Sherry had been
coming over to the Sleek Palace to find fault with Harper. But each time, Francis would come and quickly solve whatever the
trouble was. In order to make sure Sherry wouldn't be able to make any trouble for Harper, he decided to place his mother under
house arrest.
It should go without saying that Sherry was so angry at his decision—so much so that she smashed everything in her palace as
a way to vent her anger. How she wished she could rip Harper into shreds. "That bitch! Bitch!" she cursed spitefully.
"Please don't be angry, My Lady." A maid tried to calm her down.
"Don't be angry? How can I not be angry? She is Matthew's wife! But she is now living in the Sleek Palace! Why on earth would
Francis make such arrangements?" Sherry furiously screamed as her face became contorted. Although Francis was her son,
she was completely clueless as to what was going on inside that mind of his and what he was intending to do.
The maids in waiting didn't dare to speak another word upon seeing the anger in Sherry's eyes. They simply lowered their heads
and backed away. After serving her for quite a while, they had come to realize that anyone who tried to soothe her whenever she
was like that would only end up being severely punished instead. For that reason, they opted to just keep their mouths shut.
After letting off some steam, Sherry finally calmed down little by little. At the same time, she started thinking about the current
situation. Harper posed a great threat to her as well as Francis. After all, the world knew that she was Matthew's wife. Sherry

was well aware of the fact that Francis had a thing for Harper. But she would never let him do whatever he pleased. If he were to
express his feelings for Harper in front of others, he would be deemed unqualified to serve as the next emperor.
"No. I can't just sit back and let her continue to stay here," Sherry exclaimed as she gritted her teeth. "Go and invite Harper here.

so many hardships, she could not allow Harper to get in their way. At the gate of Matthew's mansion, a low-key and ordinary carriage pulled over. A maid then walked toward the mansion and knocked on the door. "We are from the Xiao Clan. We've come here to visit Lady Harper," she said. Hearing this, the guard glanced at the maid and hesitated for a bit, saying "Miss, I regret to inform you that Lady Harper hasn't been back to the mansion for quite a while. She is staying

guard answered politely. "She hasn't come back ever since she left. So, I'm afraid we cannot let you in and receive you as
guests. Please go back for now."
"Hey, how could you talk to us like that?" the maid yelled out. When the guard closed the door, her finger almost got caught, so
she was so furious and jumped to her feet out of anger.
"Amy, just forget it," Cynthia Xiao ordered. "Let's make a detour to an inn for now. Matthew is currently on the way, escorting
Princess Lilian to the Great Jade Kingdom. Harper is in charge of all the affairs in the mansion. Given that she isn't home at the
moment, no one would dare to allow us to come inside without her permission. That is perfectly understandable. We should just

Lady Harper is a jealous woman. The way I see it, what that guard said isn't making any sense. She is a married woman! How could she stay in the Imperial Palace for so long? That is just impossible. It's clear to see that she is doing this to turn us down on purpose in
