Forensic Imperial Concubine

As Zack gazed at Harper's receding figure, the bitter smile on his face started to wear off. After all, it was too late now. If he had asked the emperor's permission to marry Harper before he had sanctioned her engagement, they wouldn't have been in their current situation.

Meanwhile, the moment Harper reached their mansion's gate, she saw the steward running towards her. He was in such haste that he almost bumped into her. "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Oh, My Lady, thank heavens you finally came back. Please come inside and take a look. His Highness, Carlson, is making a scene inside the mansion!" The steward looked at Harper as if she was his savior.

"His Highness? Carlson?" Harper couldn't believe it. She immediately wondered why Carlson would have come and caused trouble, especially at this hour.

"That's right. His Highness is making a fuss in our mansion. Please go and check the situation inside." The steward hurriedly led Harper to the hall. Carlson was known as an unruly man, and yet no one dared to offend him because of his identity. If he threw a tantrum, even the emperor would have a headache, not to mention that they were mere citizens.

As soon as Harper arrived at the door to the main hall, she saw Carlson rolling on the floor. Nicole was angry and anxious, but she had no idea what she could do because she was pregnant. She could only try to persuade Carlson to get up, but he refused to listen. Charles was already furious about the whole situation, but he did not dare to do anything to Carlson.

Harper slowly walked in and stood behind Carlson. She kicked him on the back with her left foot before saying, "What is this? Your father stopped giving you pocket money, so you're going to clean the floor of the Chu Clan mansion and ask your aunt for money instead?"

Carlson stiffened and turned around, only to be greeted by Harper's wicked grin. He immediately jumped up, took Harper's hand and dragged her out of there. "We should go, Harper. You can't marry Uncle Matthew!"
