Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 829

At Valor Estate, Viola gradually calmed down as her pregnancy progressed

However, Rebecca's health continued to decline with the onset of winter. The more medicine she took, the more wan she appeared.

Sebastian still refused to come. Whenever Rebecca felt particularly unwell, she would complain that Viola lacked the skills of Carissa, who had truly vast connections.

Viola refused to indulge her mother-in-law. Not only did she not attend to Rebecca's needs, she didn't even bother to check on her. She left the older woman's care entirely to Amelia, the eldest daughter-in-law.

Rebecca lamented to Barrett, "You're now the Crown Guard's commander, yet you can't even manage your own wife? She's disrespectful and rebellious, and is always contradicting me. A poor choice in a wife can bring disaster for three generations!"

Barrett was in the midst of his career's ascent, and he didn't want to quarrel with Viola. Every argument left him drained and exasperated, so he had to comfort his mom while also asking Amelia to take better care of her.

Amelia found herself in a bind.

"Taking care of Mother is my duty, Barrett. I'd do it even if you didn't ask, but I'm not well myself. Plus, the household finances are really tight. Your wife is running things without a care in the world, and the money is disappearing fast. We don't even have enough to buy the Snowdrop Pills for Mother next month. Maybe you could talk to your sister about it? After all, she's part of the Marquis of Ironridge's family now. Surely she has some funds?"

Barrett replied, "I'll find a way to get the money. There's no reason to have Serena manage our household affairs."

Amelia sighed. "If that doesn't work out, let's sell some of our servants. With so many people to support, we need quite a sum of money for food every month. We also have to ensure everyone has appropriate clothes for every season."

"Please discuss that with Mom," Barrett said.
