Forensic Imperial Concubine

Instead of responding to his question, Harper only turned to look at Francis. Then, she suddenly reached out her hand and touched his face. Francis was shocked, but he didn't move away. Rather, he looked at Harper with a soft and even doting look.

While Harper was touching Francis' face, she slowly said, "How I wish I could have a face like yours."

"Why?" Francis asked, with a plain smile on his face.

"If I did, I could do wicked things without any pressure. After all, no one will believe that I'm capable of doing so because I look so innocent and kind." Taking back her hand, Harper went downstairs. That was all she wanted to say. She didn't say another word or gave Francis the chance to respond. After all, she didn't care whether Francis understood her.

It took Francis a while before he got a hold of himself and looked at Harper who was slowly walking away. Then, the smile on his face faded away while his eyes narrowed at her. He involuntarily put his hand on his face and said to himself, "Do wicked things without any pressure? Are you reminding me of something, Harper?"

As quickly as it came, Francis abandoned that thought. He then took the stairs to catch up with Harper. "Aunt Harper, would you allow me to send you back home? I actually want to learn some Go skills from you while we're on the way."

Harper stopped walking but didn't answer. Francis had already stepped forward, got on the carriage, and stretched out a hand to her. "I haven't played Go with you for a long time. Would you play with me, please?"

Harper only stared at him for quite a long time. The smile on his face did not waver. With patience, he looked at her expectantly while waiting for her answer.
