Forensic Imperial Concubine

Harper took a glance at the female matchmaker behind Barry and said with a smile, "The betrothal presents are ready?"

"Yes. Your Highness, please have a look," Barry said while he handed a box that he had been holding to Harper. She stretched out her hands to take it. To her surprise, the box was so heavy that she almost dropped it.

"It seems like you came from a very wealthy family," Harper teased him. She opened the box and saw several deeds for different lands, some banknotes, a few pieces of jewelry, and some gold and silver ingots. She figured that Barry must have kept all the rewards that Matthew gave him.

Barry's face looked a little bit red. "Your Highness, will these be enough?" he nervously asked.

With the box in her hands, Harper walked towards her house and called out, "Anabel!"

"Your Highness, I'm here."

"Go and ask Nina to come here."

"Yes, Your Highness," Anabel answered while she immediately left with so much excitement to look for Nina. For quite a while, Barry had been standing at the gate of the Phoenix House with a matchmaker by his side. So everyone knew that he was there to give the betrothal presents.

When the matchmaker entered the receiving room, she began her job. She smiled brightly and said to Harper, "Your Highness, Guard Barry is a handsome man, and Miss Nina is very beautiful. They're a perfect couple made by God. Guard Barry said that in his lifetime, he wouldn't want to marry anybody else unless it's Nina, so I hope you can fulfill their wish and allow them to get married."

With a calm smile, Harper knocked on the box with her fingers. For a while, she didn't utter a single word. Upon seeing that, the matchmaker couldn't tell what decision Harper would make, so she couldn't do anything but awkwardly smile and stand aside. She thought to herself, 'Lady Harper is a tough nut to crack. It seems like things won't go that smoothly today.'
