Chapter 766 Jane quickly stepped forward and assisted Poppy in helping Viola.
"The physician said it's best for you not to move around too much, Madam Viola. You should head back and rest. Madam Zoey can see the princess consort off. You don't need to." At the mention of “the princess consort“, Viola's rationality snapped back into place. She realized her moment of anger had led her to act impulsively. If her sister-in-law was going to talk about Viola's issues, why would she invite Carissa over? Most likely, Carissa was there to discuss the conspiracy involving Eleanor.
Feeling extremely awkward and a bit anxious, Viola gave a hasty curtsey to Carissa before leaving.

What had gotten into Viola this time? As Zoey escorted them out, Violet asked, "What's Viola doing here at this late hour? Is she back here to stay? Did she have a falling out with her in-laws?" It wasn't that Violet was particularly curious. It was just that Viola always caused a stir wherever she went. Plus, she had stormed in so recklessly just now, talking about something concerning Barrett, which clearly had something to do with Carissa.
That was why Violet couldn't help but ask.
Zoey knew that family troubles shouldn't be aired in public, but they were all aware of Viola's faults. So, she didn't hesitate to speak plainly.
"It's a bit of a spectacle. She had a quarrel with her husband and returned to us. She's staying here for a few days because she's feeling under the weather." "Barrett's been recovering at hafter getting injured and getting promoted. It seems odd they would argue again, especially involving Carissa," Violet said, her expression darkening.
S Zoey sighed with a bitter smile. "It's just unreasonable fussing. Don't let it bother you, Your Grace, Ms. Spencer." Violet muttered under her breath, "Troublemaker." Carissa and Barrett had already divorced and moved on with their lives, yet Viola still clung to the past. After Zoey saw Carissa and Violet off, she returned to the inner courtyard. There, she spotted Viola waiting outside her quarters. Zoey glanced at her, but didn't say a word. Instead, she simply went inside.
Zoey was thoroughly disappointed in her sister-in-law and didn't feel like saying anything. It was hard to reason with someone determined to make trouble. Sometimes, no amount of kindness could save those who were set on self-destruction. If Violet kept causing a scene like this, it would be more than just embarrassing.
"Why were they here, Zoey?" Viola asked as she walked in, her hands propped on her hips.

1/2 Chapter 766 +25 BON After sipping a few times to soothe her throat, she replied in a calm tone, "Nothing too serious. They just askeda few questions." Viola frowned. "It's not about...that Grand Princess Eleanor conspiracy case, is it? Was she here to cause trouble?" Zoey frowned. "You're asking for trouble with that kind of talk. She was here on official business. Even if she asks questions, it's just part of the procedure. If she were here to cause trouble, she wouldn't cat night and without the Capital Guard." "What did she want to know?" Zoey's expression was indifferent as she replied, "Whatever it is, it's not your concern. I see that your condition is stable now since you're able to move around at night. You should return htomorrow." Viola's face fell with disappointment. She had been staying at Silverstone Estate for three days now. Her mother had even sent medicine and tonics to Valor Estate, yet no one had cto fetch her.
Barrett couldn't chimself, but surely he could send someone!
If no one cto get her, would she be going back like this? It was far too embarrassing, How could she face anyone in the Warren family after this? Yet, Viola knew she couldn't stay there any longer. She didn't want to continue the cold war with her husband. It was weighing on her heart.
Over the past few days, she had cto terms with everything. She was carrying Barrett's child andm intended to make things right with him. Besides, he had recently been promoted to the Crown Guard's commander-a position that placed him close to the king.
Though Carissa commanded the Q.
Mystic Army and was his superior, the Crown Guard had always directly answered to the king, so there likely wouldn't be much change in their dynamics. Zoey saw through her thoughts and said coolly, "I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow." Viola pleaded softly, "Why not send Jane to Valor Estate to get someone to cfor me? If I just go back like this, it'll look bad." Zoey ignored her and instructed, “Jane, take Viola back to her room."
