Chapter 118 Match Making (Part One)


    "What did you just say?" Harper asked in surprise. What she had just heard was unbelievable.


    "Sue is nning to help Charles take some concubines," Serena whispered in Harper''s ear. "Last night,


    Charles slept in my ce and he told this to me personally. And he has already agreed."


    "Why are you telling me this, Lady Serena?"


    "Because you''re the only one in this mansion who has the ability as well as the intention to stop it,"


    Serena answered. "Harper, if we let Sue out again, she will be a big threat to you."


    "What do you want out of this?" Harper asked in a soft yet determined voice. Serena must have some


    vested interest in this. After all, she was not a saint. And even a saint could not be without any desire.

    Serena''s expression changed subtly after she heard Harper''s words. But soon, she broke into a smile


    as she said in a suppressed voice, "I want the Chu n destroyed!"


    "No way!" Harper refuted. "As long as I''m alive, no one can ever dare to destroy the Chu n. Do you


    intend to kill me as well?"


    "No, Harper. I know that you won''t do that. The only person who genuinely loves you in this entire Chu


    n mansion is Lady Mavis. The only reason behind you refraining from destroying this ce is just


    because she is still alive. Once she passes away, you won''t spare Chu n either," Serena said in an


    affirmative tone. "Harper, you are not an ordinary person. You know it very well that you will leave the


    Chu n sooner orter. But I can''t. I have spent my whole life here. I want to see the Chu n


    destroyed in front of my own eyes, buried with my poor child."


    "Do as you like. Thank you for sharing this precious little information with me." Harper left without


    looking back. Sue was contriving toe out once again. She was daydreaming for sure. Since Harper


    had already cornered Sue to a dead end, she had to make sure that Sue could note out ever


    again. Otherwise, it would be next to impossible to bring her to death again.


    Charles only had a son, which kept him hassled most of the time. Even Mavis remained worried


    because of this. Hence, when she heard that he wanted to take concubines, she agreed without


    hesitation. With a series of unpleasant events that had been taking ce in the Chu n mansion of


    late, this would at least give them some moments of happiness.


    "My Lady, My Lord, Lady Harper is here," Annie came in and reported.


    "Ask her toe in," Mavis said. "Even though it is about Charles taking concubines, Harper should be


    informed. After all, she is in charge of the household affairs and a lot of things have to be handled by


    her."


    "Okay."


    "Good day, Grandma and Father." Harper entered and paid regards to her grandma and father.


    "Harper, we have something to tell you." There was acent smile on Mavis'' face as she gestured


    for Harper to sit down. "It''s been a long time since we had some happy event at the Chu n. I want to


    choose a few concubines for your father. And I want you to take care of some of the affairs."


    "But Grandma, I''m still unmarried. How can I handle something like this? It does not sound


    appropriate." "That''s true. How about letting Suee out and handle the matters?" Charles


    suggested.


    "Father wants to take concubines?" Harper asked, looking astonished. "So many years have gone by


    since Mother passed away. Why don''t you marry a new wife instead, Father? I think you should give it


    a thought, particrly, given your social status. Instead of having more concubines, it will be better if


    you have a legal wife who can give birth to more children."


    Mavis and Charles were surprised to hear Harper''s words. What she said made sense and they had


    not even thought of it before she mentioned it. They subconsciously thought Sue was the hostess of


    the mansion, but they had forgotten that Sue was a concubine herself. Even though she had always


    been regarded as his wife, she was always a concubine on the official documents. It was thew of this


    dynasty to protect the identity of the legitimate wife and her offspring, and to prevent the favored


    concubines from harming the legitimate wife.


    "Harper, I''m not young anymore. Which noble family would marry their daughter to me as the second


    wife?" Charles shook his head. "I''d better just take some concubines."


    "Father, you are young and handsome. Besides, you are the prime minister. There must be many


    women in the imperial capital who would want to marry you. If you marry ady from a noble family,


    then Hailey and Howard can be registered as your new wife''s children. This way, people won''t regard


    them as a concubine''s children anymore." Harper voiced her opinion with a smile. She was aware that


    Charles was a heartless person from how he contrived to poison Sue. She knew it for sure that he had


    no feelings for Sue at all.


    "What you said sounds reasonable, but which family in the imperial capital has a daughter suitable for


    Charles?" Mavis asked thoughtfully. She hoped that since Harper had made the suggestion, she must


    have someone in her mind.


    "Grandma, Father, do you know Princess Nicole?" Harper asked maintaining the smile on her face.


    Mavis frowned as she looked into Harper''s eyes and asked, "You mean Prince Allen''s cousin, Princess


    Nicole?"


    "Yes. Although Princess Nicole is 28 years old, she has an outstanding appearance and a noble social


    status. She is Prince Allen''s cousin. Everyone in imperial capital knows that Prince Allen adores her


    very much. Her only shoring is her limp leg. She hobbles while walking. That''s why she hasn''t got


    married yet. His Majesty and Prince Allen are both worried about her marriage," Harper exined.


    "Princess Nicole has very high social status. I don''t think she will marry me." Charles got excited at first,


    but at the same time, he could not help being worried about being rejected by Nicole. After all, she was


    ady with a noble identity. Many people wanted to marry her, and probably she had been rejecting


    them thinking that they were beneath her.


    "Charles is right, Harper. Princess Nicole is a prouddy. She may not be willing to be the second


    wife of your father," Mavis said with her face turning bleak. Despite being disabled, it was not enough to


    make a princess marry a person of lower social status.


    "Grandma, in the past, the people who proposed to the princess were either of low social status or


    mediocre talent. But my father is the prime minister. He is both handsome and talented. I am sure that


    Princess Nicole must be willing to marry him. If you and Father don''t believe me, I can go to her and


    sound her out. If I find that she is willing to marry Father, then Father can go to His Majesty and ask for


    his consent. It would be an extreme honor for her to marry someone His Majesty has appointed. She


    wouldn''t feel disgraced at all. Father, what do you think?"
