Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 46 Cooperation

The farce in the Chu Clan mansion had ended. Harper went back to her own house. She had asked Nina and Anabel to hide away for a few days so that they could avoid being framed. Since Enya and Elsie were secretly working for Sue, Harper didn't dare to order them around. Perhaps it was because she came back too late that they didn't show up.

When she entered her room, she saw a man sitting on a chair and flipping through the notebook she wrote.

"Why are you here?" It was the masked man she had healed when he broke into the Chu Clan mansion with injuries.

The masked man threw the notebook on the table and pursed his lips as he looked at Harper. "You made a big show today!"

Instead of answering him, Harper opened the window and looked around for anyone who might overhear.

"Stop looking. There's nobody here. I also knocked out your two maids," he explained slowly as if he knew what Harper was worried about.

Harper shut the window and sat opposite him. "Are you getting better?"

"Yes." The man folded his arms across his chest. "Your medicine's very useful."

"Since you're already healed, why did you come here? I don't think I have anything that you would want," she said tentatively.

"I came here to look for something but I got curious about all the lights and shooting in the Chu Clan mansion. So I stayed aside and watched the whole scene. What poison did you use on your sister to make her lose her mind?" This woman always surprised him; he wanted to know just how many secrets she had.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" Harper glared at him.

"Woman, don't be afraid of me," the man said coldly. "If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already."

"I know." If she had sensed a murderous aura from him, she wouldn't have sat still and waited for her death.

"You know?" The man snorted at her words. "As a physician, you should know the effects of the drug. You knew that Felicia would attack you when she lost her mind. Why didn't you defend yourself?"

For all Harper expected the man to make trouble, it never occurred to her that he would ask her this question. "If I defended myself, they would've seen through my trick."

"You're powerful; it wouldn't have been a problem for you to kick her over."

"Most of the people in the Chu Clan are cunning. I must have some tricks up my sleeve to save my life in the nick of time." It was awkward for the two of them to just sit there so Harper asked, "Do you want to have some tea?"

"Yes."
