    Everyone turned to look at Felicia. Felicia''s wless face was covered with angry, red rashes. She was


    looking dreadful.

    "My face? What''s wrong with my face?" Her face started to itch. Felicia couldn''t restrain her urge to


    scratch the skin. Little drops of blood began to ooze out from the ces she had scratched. Felicia''s


    face was soon covered with blood that ruined her look even more.


    Sue''s face grew pale as she became dizzy when she saw Felicia''s face. She tried to calm down. She


    couldn''t afford to be a mess because her daughter needed her. Sue jumped out of her seat and stood


    in front of Felicia, trying to conceal her from everyone''s sight. "What are you doing? Don''t you know


    that Felicia is allergic to lotus seeds? How dare you bring the lotus seeds porridge to her! Come over


    here and help Felicia get inside. You, call the physician over now!" Sue ordered the maids as she was


    shaking in anger.


    Ruby and maids ushered Felicia out of the party. The women let out a sigh of relief when they found


    out that it was a mere food allergy. "It turns out that Lady Felicia is allergic to lotus seeds. My daughter


    is allergic to mandarin fish. She had a bite of the fish a few days ago, and it had almost killed her. Lady


    Sue, I understand how you feel. You better leave right away and take good care of Lady Felicia," a


    woman said.


    Sue red at Harper, who looked calm as if nothing had happened. Sue''s ns had failed, and she


    never expected Harper to be heartless enough to poison Felicia.


    "Harper," Sue called.


    "Mother, what can I do for you?" Harper said, trying to look sincere.


    "I''m going to take care of your sister. I''ll leave this ce to you. Take care of everything here, will you?"


    Sue said through gritted teeth. She had wanted Harper to suffer, but in the end it was her daughter who


    had be the talk of the people. Sue promised to herself that she would make Harper pay for all this


    when everyone had left.


    "Yes, Mother. I will." Harper gave a reassuring smile. Everyone was surprised at Harper''s attitude. She


    wasn''t as bad as everyone had imed her to be.


    "I''ve heard that Lady Harper was also an imperial physician and that she was fired for killing the son of


    General Maxwell," a woman mumbled with an using look.


    "Lady, tell me something. If I had really killed the son of General Maxwell, do you think that he would


    have set me free? How could His Highness and His Majesty release the murderer of a general''s son?


    I''m standing in front of you because I''m innocent. The despicable concubine of General Maxwell had


    framed me for his murder,"


    Harper exined in a calm tone. Everyone was upset at the mention of concubines. In their eyes,


    concubines would always cause problems for them, the legal wives.


    "Concubines are jealous bitches!" a woman said as she was clearly annoyed. "Fortunately, thew


    clearly states that a concubine will never be able to take the ce of a legal wife. Even if a concubine


    is acknowledged by her husband to be his legal wife, she would remain as a concubine in the official


    documents."


    "Ahem! Ahem!" Another woman cleared her throat to make her stop. But thedy didn''t seem to notice


    it. "My husband is bewitched by a seductress, and he wants to turn her into his legal wife." She rolled


    her eyes. "Humph! Not even in his dreams!"


    "What''s the matter, everyone? Why does she look angry?" Sue asked when she walked in. She heard


    someone trash concubines, and it made her furious.


    "It''s good to have you back, Mother. How is Felicia? Is everything okay?" Harper asked, looking


    concerned.


    "She''s doing well. Stop pretending that you care. I don''t need your sympathy." Sue red at her.


    Harper smiled at Sue without a hint of embarrassment.


    The woman who was using concubines smiled at Sue. "We are d to hear that Lady Felicia is


    doing well. Lady Sue, please keep an eye on Prime Minister Charles'' concubines. Don''t let them


    bewitch him."


    "Thank you. I appreciate your kindness," Sue said coldly.


    The woman didn''t understand why Sue was being rude to her. She felt that she was perhaps upset due


    to her daughter''s condition. But the woman sitting next to her exined that Sue was also a concubine.


    "I invited you all to this party for you to have a good time. But it is unfortunate that my daughter got


    allergic to the food and caused amotion. Please forgive me," Sue said as she picked up the ss


    in front of her. "I''d like to propose a toast."


    "It''s all right, Lady Sue." Everyone was frustrated. No one had bothered to investigate Sue''s identity,


    and they were all frustrated when they found that Sue was Charles'' concubine. They were all ashamed


    to attend the party conducted by a concubine. They wanted to leave as soon as they could.


    The guests began to leave, one after the other, leaving Sue all alone. Harper had gone to the entrance


    to see them off. Once everyone was gone, Sue was furious and raised her hand to hit Harper.


    Harper dodged quickly. Sue had exerted too much strength that she almost fell down. She stood up to


    steady herself, gasping in pain as she had twisted her hip. "You fucking bitch! How dare you!" she


    grunted.


    "Mother, I''m the first born of Father''s legal wife. You are just a concubine. You are offending me by


    trying to hurt me," Harper said as she gave a nasty look at Sue. "Are you insane?"


    "Harper Chu! You..." Sue was too angry to say a word.


    Harper smiled scornfully before leaving the ce. Sue was standing in shock as she watched Harper


    leave. Hatred settled in the pit of her stomach.
