Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 223

Eleanor was indeed behind this matter. Since she couldn’t have Salvador punish Carissa for offending the royal family, she decided to take matters into her own hands and teach Carissa a lesson in her own way.

The people of the capital had praised Carissa for her devotion to her family. Then, what about now? Eleanor wanted to see if a daughter who remarried during her mourning period would be met with public scorn!

One of Eleanor’s servants, Lucy, came in with a beaming face to report, “Your Highness, news of this has spread far and wide. Coffeehouses and taverns are abuzz with discussions, and it’s mostly in condemnation.”

“Mostly?” Jessica’s brows knitted in cold displeasure. “Are there still some people speaking in her favor?”

-Lucy replied, “Yes, my lady. There are a few troublemakers defending her, saying that

by the time she got married, it had already been twenty–four months since her father’s death.”

Mourning for parents traditionally lasted three years for children, but this was considered a general guideline, and the actual required period was twenty–four months.

Jessica said, “The common people won’t remember her wedding date. It’s probably someone from the duke’s family who’s trying to confuse the issue.”

She turned to Eleanor, and asked, “Mom, did she really complete the mourning period?”

Eleanor replied indifferently, “Who knows? In any case, the common people won’t care about such details. They enjoy taking the opportunity to berate the powerful, which brings them some satisfaction. They won’t concern themselves with the specifics.”

“If she did observe the full mourning period, and if she comes forward to clarify, the people will believe her, making our efforts pointless. You must have spent quite a bit of money this time,” Jessica said.

Eleanor sighed, her expression darkening. “I did spend a lot of money, but if it results in Carissa being publicly denounced by the entire city and her reputation being

ruined, then the money was well spent.”
