As Helen spoke, she shrunk back slightly, clearly feeling a bit quilty

Violet smiled and said, "It sounds like there's a story behind this

Helen smiled wryly. "Back when I had a quarrel with Dakota and lost, the late king came to console me. I was so upset that I almost caused a major disaster by directing my anger at him. Fortunately, my sister came to the rescue, or I would have likely ended up in at secluded residence far from the main palace, weaving spider webs.

Carissa and Violet exchanged amused glances. Helen did sometimes speak without regard for the occasion.

Victoria did indeed dote on Helen, and only now that Helen was a mother-in-law did the former offer criticism. Helen had stayed in the palace with Victoria for several days during the New Year. It must have been because Victoria had given her lessons on how to be a proper mother-in-law.

Despite the rapid recovery of the capital from the frost rain disaster, many disaster-stricken citizens had received cotton clothing and food from Mary. Moreover, Mary had been doing good deeds for decades, and even the late king had granted her a medal. recognizing their family as a house of accumulated virtue,

Had a common person insulted Mary, the outrage would not have been so intense.

However, it was Aurora from the notoriously disreputable Warren family who had done the insulting, which sparked public anger.

In no time, people were throwing rotten vegetables and stinking eggs at Valor Estate's walls. Some even went so far as to pour foul-smelling liquids in front of their gates in the dead of night, and it wasn't just one bucket.

This led to complaints from the other residences in the same alley. Valor Estate stood at the beginning of the alley, and at the end of the alley was a wall. Therefore, to leave or enter their homes, people had to pass by the Warren famil

residence.

Some people, unable to distinguish the right door, ended up throwing their refuse at the neighboring two houses instead. This escalated into a confrontation between the Warren family and the neighboring homes.

Salvador summoned Michael, and

asked him about Barrett's

performance, Michael spoke frankly,

saying that, Barrett used to be

diligent, but had made many mistakes after the family issues arose. Salvador instructed Michael to deliver a message to Barrett, urging him to get Aurora to apologize to Mary and resolve the matter.

One had donated thirty thousand silver coins, while the other had insulted Mary as a beggar, showing no generosity at all.

Carissa received widespread praise from the public.
