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.
Carissa and Violet exchanged glances.
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 home after getting injured and getting promoted. It seems odd they would argue again, especially involving Carissa," Violet said, her expression darkening.
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.
