Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 23 Take You As My Concubine

After coming out of Peony House where Mavis lived, Sue cast a resentful glance before leaving. Carrie and Yvonne followed Harper and bowed to her in greeting.

"Harper, it's nice to see you," Carrie said.

"Harper, nice to see you," Yvonne greeted.

"Lady Carrie, Yvonne, you too." Harper moved to help Carrie up before striking up a conversation. "Yvonne has finally come of age. Do you have any plans for her now, Lady Carrie?"

Carrie paled. She had been worried about Yvonne ever since she reached marriageable age. Carrie was a concubine, and her daughter Yvonne was not favored by Charles. What was worse, there was a higher chance of Sue controlling Yvonne's marriage prospects. Carrie tried to live with her head down, afraid of offending Sue in anyway.

"Not yet," Carried answered.

Harper nodded and the three walked side by side. "Yvonne, since you're grown-up, you should make a plan for yourself. Although you are the daughter of a concubine, our father is the prime minister of the country. Our clan is much better than ordinary clans. Our sister Hailey has enough power after taking my position in Imperial Academy of Medicine. Felicia is engaged to His Highness. Our mother has been busy making preparations for Felicia's wedding now, but I'm sure she will find a suitable husband for you after Felicia's wedding."

Carrie got alert. Harper had just said that to remind her that Sue wouldn't interfere in their business now because she had the upcoming marriage of Felicia to fuss over. After the wedding, Sue would have enough time to deal with Carrie and Yvonne.

"Thanks a lot for your advice, Harper."

"Lady Carrie, you are welcome." Harper took off a hairpin from her hair and put it on Yvonne's head. "Yvonne, you are so beautiful. I'm sure you will find your Mr. Right soon."

"Thank you, Harper," Yvonne answered humbly.

Harper smiled and bid them goodbye. As they watched her leave, Carrie whispered to Yvonne, "Harper has changed, hasn't she?"

"Mother, what did you say?" Yvonne asked in confusion.

Carrie smiled weirdly. "I'm afraid Sue can't control everything in the Chu Clan mansion anymore in the future. Harper did not inspire fear when she was being aggressive. But now she is calm and a tough nut to crack."
