Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 881 The Punishment On A Rainy Night (Part One)

The expression on Harper's face froze. From the first few words that Matthew had spoken, she instantly understood that he didn't come here to have a heart to heart talk with her. But instead, he came to teach her a lesson. Thinking about how she willfully went to Rolando's palace and was tricked into staying due to her carelessness, she lost her vigor and apologized at once, "Matthew, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that Rolando would—"

Before she could finish what she was saying, Matthew pushed his lips onto hers to shut her up. He was expressing his rage with the kiss. He had warned his wife not to believe in Rolando so easily. He knew that she had a tendency to be kind to anyone but he didn't expect that she would be fooled into coming to the palace and later on, being trapped in there.

Harper was passively responding to the kiss. In fact, she was in a good mood and even chuckled a little. Noticing that Harper wasn't taking it seriously and even had a smile on her face, Matthew was a little annoyed. Thus, he bit Harper's lips very hard.

"Hiss! Are you a dog?" Harper felt the pain and frowned.

Matthew's eyes were as deep as the sea. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled away Harper's collar. When he was sure that there was no any mark on her body, he was relieved. But thinking about how heedless she had been, he was back to being extremely annoyed. "I was furious. I wanted to hit you, but I didn't want you to be hurt. But I wouldn't be able to vent my anger if I don't do something to you, so—"

"So what?" Harper was confused. She knew that he couldn't beat or scold her. How could his anger subside then? Was he going to just glare at her for days?

"I have decided to punish you in another way!" Before he was able to finish his words, he had already flung himself on her. He had a lot of ways to punish her. He didn't have to beat or scold her. The best punishment for his woman was to make her unable to get out of bed for three days, at the very least!

The punishment came as a great shock to her. Yet, she soon smiled and wrapped his arms around his neck and said, "I miss you, Matthew."

The expression on Matthew's eyes became deeper. He desperately enjoyed these moments with his wife. Although it was raining and there was even lightning and thunder outside, it was warm and happy inside the room. Harper suppressed her moaning all throughout. Suddenly, she felt something warm dripping on her body. Harper could tell that it was not Matthew's sweat.

She reached out a hand to feel it, only to find something murky. She placed her hand closer to her and immediately realized that her hand had blood all over it. She widened her eyes in shock and exclaimed, "Matthew, you're wounded!"

"It doesn't matter. I just have a bruise." Although he was breathing heavily, he didn't stop.

"Stop it! You're bleeding!" Harper was agitated. The striking red blood fell from Matthew's body and dripped on her body. Her husband was seriously injured, yet he was still making love with her with such great passion!

Matthew grabbed Harper's hands, raised them above her head, and pressed on them. This way, she wouldn't be able to move both of her arms. With overflowing lust, he said in a deep voice, "You are not concentrating. You're being punished right now." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Harper struggled very hard to free herself from his grasp. Yet, she found that she could not move at all, so she looked at him with beseeching eyes and said, "Matthew, please let me help you stop the bleeding first, okay?"

"No!" Matthew decisively refused. He just continued with what he was doing. Harper was upset and anxious. Her husband wouldn't stop bleeding. If it continued on, he would lose too much blood and die!

"Don't make me more annoyed than I already am, Matthew Jun!"

Matthew stared at her ferociously. "And what if I did that? Will you get rid of me and stay with Rolando instead?"

"Can you stop being so unreasonable? Right now, we're talking about your injury! Can't I treat your wound first?" There was red in both of Harper's eyes.

"It's not a big deal. Why are you so bothered by it? After Rolando spat out blood, you accompanied him all the time. Harper, tell me, do you even care about my feelings?" Matthew bitterly asked.

Harper stared at her husband with wide eyes. Matthew was in the palace at that time. Or to be more exact, he had been in the palace all this time. He knew what happened in the Harmony Palace. He even knew that she had been framed yesterday, but how tolerant was this man to turn a blind eye to everything?

Harper then closed her eyes, kept silent, and stopped struggling. She did not give any response and simply received the reprimand and physical punishment from her husband. Matthew asked if she cared about his feelings. 'Don't you know the answer?' Harper miserably and silently thought to herself.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Tears ran down along the corner of her eyes. She had never cried before. Even when she was almost sexually harassed or when she was threatened by Rolando, she had never shed a tear. She was never the kind of woman who liked to cry. But at that moment, she couldn't help but do so.

The moment Matthew noticed that his wife was already crying, he calmed down at once and his rage disappeared into thin air. For a while, he was at a loss and forgot how to react. After a long time, he stood up, put on his clothes, and silently sat down.

With her back to Matthew, Harper didn't say anything either. Time stretched on without one of them uttering a single word. Their reunion was supposed to be a warm and joyous event. However, things

turned out to be a mess due to the jealousy and complications. Matthew wanted to apologize to his wife but he didn't know how to start.
