Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 24 Making Money

The thought of being a complete stranger to Harper flustered and saddened Hansen. He worked up his nerve and grabbed her wrist to ask, "Tell me, have you fallen in love with another man?"

There was disgust in Harper's gaze as she glared at him. She poked the needle into the back of his hand that had him loosen his grip. Hansen was furious at how dare this woman fall in love with another man in such a short time.

"My business has nothing to do with you, Your Highness. You better care more about my sister Felicia than minding my business. After all, she's your fiancee. Besides, please show me some respect when you see me in the future. If you dare to be so rude next time, I'll prick that part of your body instead of your hand with my needle." With a quick sinister glance at Hansen's lower body, Harper added, "With this needle, you won't be able to have fun with any other woman, Your Highness."

"Shame on you! You're a girl! How can you say that?"

Without even a glance at him, Harper left quickly. When Hansen tried to catch up with her and clarify things, Yvonne came out from behind the rockery. Although she had straightened her clothes, there were still some traces.

Yvonne didn't expect Harper to be there and her face turned pale. "Err... Harper?"

The expression on Hansen's face changed, and Harper didn't miss it after she raked down her eyes on Yvonne's clothes. A sly smile appeared on her lips, and she left without saying another word.

The both of them had a feeling that Harper spotted a wrong. Hansen left quickly and left behind a frightened Yvonne alone to suffer.

Hansen had left angrily, and Sue had been busy treating Felicia. While it was rare for Harper to have days of peace, she was bored of staying at home every day.

"Nina, change your clothes and let's go out."

"Go out?" The order made Nina a little scared. "My Lady, your father forbids you from going out."

"When did he say that he wouldn't let me go out?" Harper raised her eyebrows. "I haven't heard that from him since I came back from the country house. Let's go."

"Yes, My Lady."

The both of them changed into men's suits and left the mansion. A very embarrassed Nina said, "My La... My Lord, is it okay that we came out like this?"

"If we didn't come out like this, we would be recognized as soon as we left." Harper's fan was knocked on Nina's head. "If we want to cover up our true identities, we should sneak out. Don't you feel bored staying at home all day long? What's more, we're always be under others' control in the mansion. We need to have a way out."

"My Lord, what are you talking about?"

"I mean we're short of money. We should find a place to make money!"
