Forensic Imperial Concubine

Part of the reason why Samuel was able to run away was because the Qin Clan let him escape on purpose. They wanted to know how much Felton meant to Harper so that they would know how to negotiate with her. With the way she worked, they knew that only when they had sufficient chips could they move on with any kind of negotiation.

To the Qin Clan's surprise, even after receiving Samuel's message to save his master Felton, Harper didn't take any action. Actually, they did the exact opposite: Harper and her husband hung out in the Phoenix City like a normal couple, as if Felton's disappearance meant nothing to either of them.

"Does Harper not care about Felton at all?" Beth asked, shocked and bewildered. She had initially thought that as soon as Harper heard that Felton was in trouble, she would immediately go to the Qin Clan's mansion to save him, a scenario which Beth could take advantage of. With the way Harper was acting, it seemed like no negotiation would happen, and that she would let Felton rot wherever he was.

"Little Harper," a voice called out as a figure draped in red cloak swooped down in front of Harper. This stunned Harper, and Matthew had to pull her away so that she wouldn't get toppled by the unknown figure. Soon enough, they found out that it was only Daphne, and she was intending on landing on Harper.

With Harper out of the way, Daphne almost landed on the ground. She quickly stood straight and glared at Matthew. "What the hell are you doing, you stinky man?!"

Without even sparing Daphne a glance, Matthew took a handmade wooden hairpin from the stand in front of them, handed it to Harper and said, "This is a beautiful one. Try it on."
