Her Graceful War Song Chapter 501
Viola's eyes brimmed with tears, and her voice trembled. "No, let's go back to the first floor and pick out a few pieces instead."As a lady from the Earl of Silverstone's family, she couldn't raise her voice to her mother-in-law here. She could only plead with as much humility as she could muster, hoping they would agree to move to the first floor. Even the items on the first floor were not cheap. The Golden Tower only carried high-quality items.Serena clung to the jewelry box tightly. "No, I want this one!"Viola shook with anxiety, her gaze darting around as more heads poked out from the private rooms, all of them wearing expressions of surprise. This only deepened Viola's sense of humiliation.How could she possibly come up with almost 40,000 silver coins? Did she have to empty out her dowry and even use the funds from her late husband's pension?How could she do that?Viola stood there, trembling and speechless. She had never experienced such a humiliating situation in he

The shopkeeper William looked at Serena with a smile and said, "Miss, that's certainly possible. However, we have many more ruby tiaras in the shop. You've only seen this one. Would you like to choose from a few more options?"Serena lifted her head to see a shop assistant carrying a tray made of zebrawood enter the room. The tray obviously held pieces of much lower value, clearly brought up from the first or second floor. She immediately clutched the jewelry box she held tighter and said, "No, I only want this one."Rebecca was clearly getting frustrated. "What's with all this nonsense? We've already chosen this one. What is the matter with your shop? Just come to our residence to collect the payment. Stop wasting time."William was experienced and well-acquainted with such situations, though it was rare on the third floor. It was clear to him that the mother and daughter were trying to force the daughter-in-law to pay for the dowry, but the situation seemed unusual. The matria

The term "respected and remembered" revealed a great deal of information.Just like Viola, Kayla had also lost her husband on the battlefield. They shared a common sorrow, and it was out of kindness that she had wanted to help Viola. Unfortunately, Viola didn't appreciate the gesture, leaving Kayla quite embarrassed.Upon hearing the lady's identity, Carissa immediately understood the situation. However, she didn't comment further on the matter. Instead, she changed the subject and asked Kiera which pieces she had chosen. She also needed to buy a gift for her simple-minded mother-in-law. Not bringing Helen along today would likely upset her.The design for the Mystic Pearl set was finalized, and Kiera picked out several other pieces she loved. Hugging her sister-in-law, she exclaimed how much she adored Carissa.Nathaniel chuckled from the side. Compared to the tense exchange between Viola and Serena outside, this pair truly showed what genuine affection looked like.Though he was

When Helen returned from the palace, she walked straight through the sitting room. She held her head high, and completely ignored the women speaking inside.One of the women called out, "Mother, you're back?"Helen didn't acknowledge them and continued to walk with her head held high.Another woman rushed out and took her arm. "Mom, look at what Carissa and I bought for you! Come and see!""Hmph!" Helen glanced at Kiera coldly. "Why would I care?"Kiera's face fell. "Huh? You don't? Carissa spent a long time choosing these.""Hmph! Spent a long time choosing?" Helen glared coldly at Carissa, who was standing at the door. In response to Carissa's smile, Helen raised her chin. "Fine, let me take a look. But I'm very hard to please."Carissa smiled and said, "Mother, please come and see."Violet quickly called for someone to prepare some snacks. As she admired the jewelry, she filled Helen in on the excitement of the day.Helen placed a delicate red coral hairpin with dangling

In Valor Estate, only one lamp was lit in the corridor tonight, and two glass-covered lamps illuminated the main courtyard. These glass lamps were actually the ones Carissa had left behind when she moved away.The side hall was shrouded in darkness, with only the buzzing of mosquitoes to break the silence.The Golden Tower's shop assistant hadn't left. He sat anxiously in the side hall of the main courtyard. No one had served him coffee, and no lamps had been lit. He had waited from dawn until nightfall.He was there to collect payment, but once inside Valor Estate, he had been left waiting in this place. From the direction of the main hall, he could hear the sounds of shouting and heart-wrenching crying.The commotion lasted for at least an hour before finally quieting down. Then, someone had come in to tell him to wait. Since then, no one had returned.Given his experience, he was accustomed to accompanying guests to collect banknotes when they didn't have enough on hand. In the

Serena sat on the edge of her bed, and snorted. "I wouldn't go out of my way to bother her. Before she married in, I thought she was quite capable, especially when comparing dowries with Carissa. Now she can't even come up with a few tens of thousands. It's truly pathetic! At least she's better than Aurora. Do you remember how much money Barrett gave away when he married Aurora? The dowry she brought back was just a pittance. I've never seen such a poor show, and it was a marriage granted by the king to boot."After criticizing her two sisters-in-law, Serena turned her attention to Amelia. "Amelia hasn't cared about anything since she fell ill, not even my dowry. I don't even know what she'll prepare for me. I shouldn't get my hopes up too high. She's poorer than anyone in our family."Not one of the three daughters-in-law was worth much, and listening to this made Rebecca increasingly irritated. "Enough, be quiet."Serena shut her mouth. The light illuminated her face, revealin

In the dim light, a figure hurriedly entered and supported Viola. "What's wrong?"Through her tear-filled eyes, Viola saw her husband, Barrett's face. She threw herself into his embrace, crying even harder and more pitifully.Barrett had never seen Viola so openly distressed, sitting on the ground and wailing. He thought something serious must have happened, and urgently asked, "What's going on? What happened?"With tears in her eyes, Julia recounted the events of the day. However, when she was about to mention Thomas's military pension, Viola suddenly shouted, "Be quiet!"Julia was startled, and immediately fell silent.Julia hadn't mentioned the pension specifically, but she had mentioned Thomas's name. Even if he were not the sharpest, Barrett could piece together the situation. Viola had used Thomas's death benefits to buy a tiara for Serena, which was worth 36,800 silver coins."Enough. You're dismissed," Barrett said.Then, he released Viola, his face dark with anger.

Rebecca's vision went black. She lurched forward, and fainted.Barrett quickly caught her, setting aside his anger. He urgently called out, "Someone, fetch a physician! Now!"With tears streaming down her face, Serena rushed to Viola. "What are you doing? Are you trying to anger Mom to death? You were the one who insisted on buying the tiara, and now you regret it?!"Viola took a step back, feeling helpless as she watched the scene unfold. A sense of powerlessness rose within her, mixed with frustration and pain. She had spent 36,800 silver coins to buy the jewelry, only to receive their reproach. Was she now to be blamed for everything?In the middle of the night, the commotion of calling the physician created a chaotic scene. Viola had to wipe away her tears and use a handkerchief to clean Rebecca's face and hands.The physician diagnosed Rebecca with a fainting spell caused by acute anger, but reassured them that it was not serious and that a few doses of medicine would suffi
