Forensic Imperial Concubine

Just when Harper was about to fall asleep, she heard the clamor outside. Not knowing what happened, she turned over and covered her head with the quilt, trying to sleep. Yet the outside noise continued to disrupt her sleep. Finally, she was forced to get up. She pushed the door open and yelled, "Why are you screaming so early in the morning? Mourning? I'm still alive!"

In an instant, the courtyard fell silent. Ruby stared at Harper as if she had seen a ghost. It seemed that she did not expect Harper to be at home. And then, she even quickly glanced at Enya.

"My Lady, Nanny Ruby insisted on coming in and said Lady Sue is waiting for you at her place," Nina replied hurriedly.

"Mother wants to see me?" Harper rolled her eyes upwards. "What's up?"

Ruby took a deep breath and calmed down before she replied, "Lady Sue said Lady Hailey would be back today. So she wants you to wait for her there, My Lady."

"Nina, give her a slap!" Harper looked at Nina and yelled out angrily. No sooner did Harper finish her words than Nina turned around and slapped Ruby in the face. It happened so fast that Ruby could not even do anything for her self-defense. She was left aghast.

"You bitch! How dare you hit me! Even Lady Sue has never hit me. How dare you! I'll kill you!" Ruby flared up in rage and rushed to retaliate with a fiercer blow on Nina.

Harper sneered, "Nanny Ruby, I am surprised to see your audacity. I'm the daughter of Father's legal wife. How dare you ask me to wait for a concubine's daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Ruby retorted immediately, "My Lady, you're the daughter of Prime Minister Charles' wife, but so is Lady Hailey. Moreover, she is working at the Imperial Academy of Medicine. It's normal for you to greet your sister!"
