Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 39

The Prince Kevin's mansion was extremely efficient in dealing with the wedding-related matters. They soon decided on the day of the wedding and sent a servant to inform the Chu Clan that the wedding was to be held on June 18th since it was a lucky day. Besides, the betrothal presents of two brides were delivered to the Chu Clan mansion as quickly as possible.

Since the heir of Prince Kevin would marry two daughters of the Chu Clan at the same time, Prince Kevin and his wife were very generous. Felicia's betrothal presents were in accordance with the standards, and the betrothal presents of Yvonne were also very abundant. Probably because she was pregnant with the son of Hansen, Kate, Kevin's wife, had attached special importance to her.

Felicia's face was distorted with anger at the sight of the betrothal presents of Yvonne. "She's just a concubine's daughter and will only be a concubine. Why did they give her so many betrothal presents? It's not fair!" she roared.

And like Felicia, Sue was very irritated too. She thought that people at the Prince Kevin's mansion were so unreasonable, for they even gave a bride price to Yvonne as much as that of Felicia. But Sue carefully concealed her apparent anger. "My dear daughter," Sue began as she held her daughter's hand, coaxing her, "you will be His Highness's wife, which means that you will take charge of the whole mansion in the future. And all other concubines will have to obey your orders. You don't have to be angry with such a low-status concubine. It's bad for your health."

"Mother, that bitch has His Highness's child in her belly. We haven't got married yet, but they seem to show more favor towards that bitch. I am afraid that she will win the heart of all the people in the mansion, and eventually, she will be on top of me!" Felicia bristled up in anger. She also harbored a wicked thought that if Yvonne hadn't had her baby, she wouldn't have been so proud now.

However, Sue maintained her calmness. She squeezed Felicia's hand, and in a meaningful way, she said, "You know that what Prince Kevin and Lady Kate value is that baby in her belly. If she accidentally loses her baby, she will be of no value. So, you do not need to be irritated by her now. The wedding is still half a month away, and no one knows what will happen during this period."

Felicia's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mother, you mean..."

"I mean Yvonne should take good care of herself. It's of vital importance for a pregnant woman to watch out during the first three months. She's so fragile that she might have a miscarriage by accident." While looking over whether the make-ups on Felicia's face were off, Sue reminded her gently, "You are going to get married, and you are going to be the wife of His Highness, so you have to be patient. After you get married, there are still a lot of seductive and charming women in their mansion much more than those in our mansion. If you are jealous of them, you will be quite unhappy. You can't ruin your own happy life for them."

"Mother, what should I do?" Felicia asked, totally confused.

"After you get married, you shall give birth to His Highness's child to consolidate your position. As long as you keep a close eye on the seductive bitches in the mansion, they can't even have the opportunity to get pregnant. It's okay for them to have daughters because it won't shake your position in the family," Sue explained to her in a soft voice.

If Harper could hear this, she would fully understand why Sue was the only one who had a son in the Chu Clan, while all other women only had daughters. Sue had done something vicious to them, and even those women who were fortunate enough to give birth to sons, couldn't raise their sons safe and sound.

"Mother, I got it."

"That's great." Then Sue guided her daughter to sit down beside her. "There is no need for you to do many things by yourself. You only need to have one or two capable and loyal people around you. Don't let anyone find fault with you when you do something secretly. Even if you are dissatisfied with your condition, you should pretend to be a generous lady. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mother," Felicia replied a little bit absent-mindedly. She resolved that after their marriage, she would no longer be afraid of those concubines. She must let them know that they were worthless in front of her!

Sue babbled on and on for a long time, which sounded already annoying to Felicia. She eagerly demanded, "Mother, what should we do with the baby in that bitch's belly?"

A vicious smile instantly appeared on Sue's face as she casually took a pearl hairpin and cautiously put it on Felicia's head. "You will marry His Highness with Yvonne at the same time. I am sure that Harper will prepare gifts for you two."

"I don't like her gift no matter what it is!" Felicia scoffed. Although Harper had the dowry of her biological mother, Kelly, the dowry was kept by Mavis. Therefore, Harper had nothing valuable to send to her two sisters.

"You like her gift, and so does Yvonne!" A wicked smile slowly appeared on Sue's face. People at the Prince Kevin's mansion attached great importance to the child in Yvonne's belly, so Sue decided to get rid of this baby. But the whole evil plan of poisoning the baby must have nothing to do with Sue or Felicia. With this, Sue decided to let Harper take the blame for the baby's death. Anyway, it was not her first time to be made a scapegoat, and she should get used to it.

"Mother, I don't understand what you are talking about!" Sue couldn't accept that her daughter was slow in comprehending her line of thinking. How could Felicia be so stupid and ignorant? She had never worried about her elder daughter. But her younger daughter, who had been spoiled by her, hadn't learned any scheming skills from her!

"If she doesn't give a gift to Yvonne, how can we frame her for killing His Highness's child?" Sue explained to her patiently. "We can get rid of Harper alongside with the baby. Last time, if the Mavis hadn't come back sooner than expected, Harper would have been beaten to death and wouldn't have had the chance to poison you."
