Forensic Imperial Concubine

"You silly girl. How can you not want to get married? I'm old and I can't always protect you. I need to find someone for you to rely on," Mavis sighed as she leaned against the headboard. She knew that her son favored his other daughters and disliked Harper. What was worse was that Sue was too narrow-minded to accept Harper. Mavis was worried, if she died one day, Sue would humiliate and treat Harper even more terribly.

"I know my body very well. Girl, you should make some plans for yourself and your future. You know your father is biased against you. But no matter what, he is still your father and you can't hate him for this. It's all Sue's fault. I really have no idea why your father likes her so much that he listens to whatever she says!" Mavis said. She would always get angry whenever she talked about her son and his idiotic ways.

"It's good that you understand," Mavis said and patted Harper's hands slightly. "Harper, you are an unmarried woman. And it's not appropriate for you to show up in public. It doesn't matter that your position as an imperial physician has been taken away. After you return home, I will⁠..."

"Grandma," Harper suddenly interrupted. She then knelt down in front of Mavis and made a kowtow respectfully. "Grandma, I want to learn the imperial etiquette. Please do me a favor and help me."

Mavis looked at Harper in surprise. She asked curiously, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

She then continued, "Now that His Highness has already cancelled our engagement, everyone has already known that he refused me. My reputation has already been ruined. No one would dare to propose to me because they dare not offend Prince Kevin.
