Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

"That bitch! That bitch! Where did she get the nerve to do that?!" Mavis went in a fit of anger, causing her to have a headache
due to how furious she was. Charles was also very annoyed. However, something even more humiliating was still yet to come to
them.
"What I never would've expected was that it was actually Felicia who was fooling around with Hansen and accidentally fell down
the stairs without any clothes on!" Harper added.
"What?" That was the final nail in the coffin. When Charles heard this, the color had been flushed out of his face at once. And
even Mavis' face became sullen as well.
When she was finally done talking, Harper lowered her head and continued to weep uncontrollably. "Mother...Mother also noticed
it was Felicia. I'm sure of it! But she called out my name for everyone to hear! When I came over to tell her that it wasn't me, she
repeatedly asked me why it was not me over and over again! I don't understand, Father, Grandma. What did I do to make Mother
despise me so much? Why did Mother want to ruin my reputation like that? How could she be so cruel and heartless?"
"How dare she do that to my granddaughter!" Mavis cursed while giving Charles black looks. She didn't say anything else after
that, but she was, without a doubt, very dissatisfied with Sue's actions. Now having to face the chaos himself, Charles was also
about to blow a gasket. When thoughts of Felicia's shameless behavior filled his head, he couldn't help himself from blaming Sue
for everything that happened.
While they were in the middle of trying to wrap their heads around what happened, the steward came running toward them while
panicking. "My Lord, My Lady, something terrible happened. Lady Sue..."
"Where is she?" Charles asked, still feeling furious.
"Lady Sue fainted in the front hall, and Lady Felicia... Lady Felicia..." Before the steward could even finish talking, Charles
quickly got on his feet and hurriedly went to the front hall. Mavis also stood up and headed over to the front hall with Annie.
Harper followed Mavis close behind as well.
When they finally arrived at the Chu Clan mansion, Sue couldn't help but feel horrified at the thought of how her husband and
her mother-in-law would punish Felicia for what happened. She was so overcome with grief that she couldn't keep it together any
longer and blacked out. Felicia was almost naked and had nothing to cover herself with. There were obvious indecent marks all
over her body. Annie could not bear to see such a terrible scene playing out in front of her. So, she immediately took off her own
coat to cover Felicia's body and wrapped her bleeding head in bandage.
Charles was still fuming with rage right now. But when he saw Sue lying motionless on the floor and Felicia looking at him with
such fragile eyes, helpless and so frail, it broke his heart completely. Still, he couldn't help but blame Felicia for not cherishing
her body and reputation. "My Lord, please make sure whoever did this to Lady Felicia pays for it!" Ruby bawled and cried out as
she knelt on the floor, holding the unconscious Sue in her arms. "You've been looking after Lady Felicia from the moment she

was born. Don't you know her well? She's not the type to do something like that! Someone must have framed Lady Felicia!"
When Charles heard that statement, Harper was the first person he suspected of doing this. In his eyes, Harper was always the
one who would cause trouble. So, he came to the conclusion that it was probably Harper who had caused such a scandal! "Yes,
she is right, Father. You must find out the truth to prove that Felicia and I are innocent!" Harper stubbornly chimed in. "Those
people couldn't clearly see who was inside the room. Yet they still assumed it was me. Someone must have planned everything,
making them think it was me!" "Father..." Felicia cried out. At that moment, she wanted to tell him that it was Harper who plotted
against her, but even she herself couldn't figure out how it all happened. What if it would only end up putting her in a worse
situation if she asked her father to investigate it thoroughly?
"Yes, that should go without saying. We must get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. This is something we can't simply let
go so easily!" Mavis exclaimed. She would let Sue play some of her little tricks from time to time, but there was no way she could
ever allow her to ruin the Chu Clan's reputation.
To this, Charles simply nodded his head in agreement. He also believed that it would be necessary to conduct a thorough
investigation of this matter. If it turned out that it was a plot set up by an outsider, it was quite possible that that person still had
something else planned before his mission was completed. And if that was really the case, that person would impeach him
tomorrow.
"Could... Could it be one of Hansen's tricks? He is the adulterer! Maybe he did this on purpose because of his hatred toward our
Chu Clan!" Harper suddenly asked.
The Chu Clan and Prince Kevin's family had been at an impasse recently. Charles and Kevin often raised doubts against each
other in front of the emperor recently even though none of them actually held any concrete evidence to support their claims at all.
The emperor was already starting to get sick of their bickering. Could it really be a deliberate revenge plotted by Hansen? Most
importantly, Felicia had liked Hansen for some time now. If Hansen asked her out, there was a good chance that she would go
out to meet him! At the thought of this, Charles gritted his teeth as hatred brewed inside of him. He wouldn't let something like
that go so easily! Not only had Hansen killed one of his daughters, but now, he had also ruined the reputation of one of his other
daughters. That would certainly bring him great shame!
"I will head over to Prince Kevin's mansion right now to ask them about it!"
With that, Charles strode out of the room. If it turned out that it was really Hansen's ploy to get back at him, Charles was more
than willing to make him pay for what he did. Be that as it might, before he could leave the mansion, Kate showed up with her
people, so hopping mad.
As soon as Kate had broken into the Chu Clan mansion, she slapped Charles right in the face with all her strength. Charles' ear
buzzed. He failed to dodge it since he couldn't really get a chance to do so. But he managed to catch Kate's hand just as she

was about to slap him a second time. He furiously swung her arm away from him, and as a result, Kate fell to the floor.
"Well, well, how dare you! You set my son up and now you even raised your hand against me. Charles Chu, do you think you can
get away with everything in the imperial capital just because His Majesty favors you?" Kate lashed out as she covered her chest
with her hand.
"Your Highness, you are in my mansion right now. Your son set my daughter up and dragged my daughter's name through the
mud. And you actually have the audacity to throw a tantrum here instead? Do you honestly believe that there's no law in this
world anymore? Even if we must argue about this in front of His Majesty, I would not hold back because my daughter is the
victim here!" Charles hurled back and flew completely off the handle. Truth be told, he didn't really pay attention to everything
that Kate said. Out of frustration, he just retorted back at her without thinking about it.
"Excuse me? My son set your daughter up? That's probably the funniest story I have ever heard until today! It is your shameless
daughter who set a trap for my son! You don't believe it? I have the evidence right here!" Kate was in a frenzy. "This is the
evidence that proves it was your daughter who deceived my son!"
Right then, Charles turned to look at Harper at once. "What is she saying?"
Shaking her head, Harper replied, "Father, I don't know."
"You don't know? Ha! How dare you say you don't know!" Kate interrupted her as she was talking, her face distorted due to
anger. "Even though Hansen broke off the engagement to you, you didn't have to be so spiteful, Harper. I had no idea you were
that kind of woman. You did it on purpose in order to ruin Hansen, all because he called off the engagement! I know it! I know all
of your dirty tricks! Mark my words. I'm going to make you suffer!"
