Forensic Imperial Concubine

Coming out of the Imperial Palace, Harper squinted her eyes against the glaring sun. Her vision was a little bit blurred, exactly how she felt about everything around her. She stood there in a daze and felt like no other than a survivor of a disaster. From her rebirth to now, her life was several times put on the edge of life and death. Lowering her head, she heaved a sigh as she thought how she had lived a hard life.

Still standing in front of the empty door of the palace, Harper bitterly smiled. She mulled over everyone who was so indifferent to her in the Chu Clan, and no one cared about her life, except for her grandmother, the only one who used to care about her. But the old lady got so angry with her that she went out to worship the Buddha and refused to come back.

When Matthew came out, he saw Harper covering her face with her hand and assumed she was shedding tears. But when he walked closer to her, he perceived that she was not crying, but merely blocking the dazzling sunshine with her hand.

"Your Highness, thank you for saving my life." Harper fell to her knees, expressing her gratitude to Matthew, who didn't even glance at her. He wordlessly went away, leaving her kneeling in front of the palace like a fool.

Harper was at a loss for words. Gingerly, she stood up and patted the dust on her clothes. And with a heavy heart, she started walking toward her home. Although the Chu Clan mansion was some distance away, for her, it was not a big deal.

Never did she expect, however, that it would take her nearly two hours to walk from the Imperial Palace to the Chu Clan mansion. Her legs and feet were already aching from the long walk. As soon as she came in, she noted that her father was glaring at her. Sue Wang, the hostess of Chu Clan and the other people looked at her with amused expressions, seemingly enjoying her misfortunes.
