Aurora''s eyes narrowed, her entire body stiffening as a fierce intent shed from her gaze. But she quicklyposed herself, adopting a nonchnt demeanor.


    "So what? If she wants to watch themotion, that''s her business."


    Vi choked momentarily. "What?! Aurora, I''m begging you. Can you please go to Jadehill Estate and apologize again? Your actions have not only affected the Warren family, but also impacted my husband''s career!"


    "Your husband?" Aurora sneered coldly. "You call him that so easily."


    "What''s wrong with how I address him? Isn''t he my husband?"


    Aurora''s voice grew colder, "Yes, he is your husband. So, if you want to n his future, apologize, or contribute money, that''s your responsibility."


    "What is that supposed to mean?"


    Aurora drew her sword slightly, her expression steely. "That means you should leave. Don''t provoke me."


    Vi trembled with rage. She struggled to understand how, despite being a member of the family and the legitimate, primary wife, Aurora dared to be so audacious and rude to her.


    Vi had told Carissa that she was willing to contribute her dowry to support the Warren family, but internally, she felt deeply frustrated.


    "Aurora, my elder brother is the general of the Hell Monarch Army, and I''m ady from the Earl of Silverstone''s family. How dare you be so disrespectful to me?!"


    Aurora chuckled with a hint of scorn. "What? Are you going to have your brother bring the Hell Monarch Army to deal with me? Or do you think your family can bully me, a mere wife granted by the king?"


    Vi felt utterly defeated. "You''re nothing but a scoundrel. I can''t believe my husband ever had feelings for you. You must have seduced him on the battlefield. You''re just as despicable as Carissa. Both of you are shameless."


    Auroraughed. "Well, that must be a disappointment for you. On the battlefield, he was the one who showed interest in me first. He was the one who said he liked me. Andparing me to Carissa? What''s she even worth? She''s just a shameless, once-divorced woman who remarried."


    As she spoke of Carissa, her eyes remained fixed on Vi, with a pointed and unmistakable implication. Vi''s eyes brimmed with tears of anger. "I will definitely tell my husband about this tonight. Just you wait!"


    "Fine, I''ll be waiting!" Aurora turned and headed back into her residence, leaving Vi in the courtyard.


    As she entered the residence, Aurora added one final remark, "A once-divorced woman who remarriescks any shame."


    Vi cried as she turned and left, heading straight to Reba''s quarters. She dried her tears. Her mother-inw must be taking her medicine, and as the daughter-inw, it was her duty to attend to her illness.


    Though Vi couldn''t get Sebastian


    to treat Reba, she had used her family connections to bring another renowned doctor to attend to her mother-inw. However, her

    Reba was generally satisfied with her current daughter-inw, who was dutiful and considerate. If it weren''t for Aurora, Reba wouldn''t have to worry about Barrett''s future. With Vi''s family backing him, he would surely be thriving.


    However, in terms of service, Vi was nowhere near Carissa''s level. Carissa would sleep in the same room when Reba fell ill, and if there was any difort at night, Carissa would immediately attend to it. Vi was unwilling to do so; she would cling to Barrett every night, fearing he might be summoned by Aurora.


    Thus, Reba harbored both resentment and nostalgia towards Carissa. When Carissa was around, there was never a shortage of money in the house. Seasonal


    clothes, silks and jewels, and three


    meals a day with snacks-living

    Carissa neverined. When Charlotte sometimes grumbled about the situation, Carissa would say that since her husband was busy fighting enemies on the battlefield, she shouldn''t add to his worries about home.


    A woman from a military family had this kind of awareness-war was the most important thing, so she took care of every detail in the household.


    Now, even though Vi used her dowry to supplement the household, she often spoke of reducing staff and cutting costs. While meals were still provided, snacks had disappeared, and even the daily meals were far less sumptuous than before.


    Moreover, due to Aurora''s harsh words toward Mary, Valor Estate was filled with the stench of excrement daily.


    Vi''s management of the household left much to be desired. The servants werezy and neglectful, and she could not control them. With daily incidents of excrement being thrown, she couldn''te up with a solution.


    If it were Carissa handling things...


    Well, if Carissa were in charge, the Warren family would be prominently featured on the donation list instead of being the target of such disgrace!
