Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 165

Lily stepped forward to interrupt Rebecca's pitiful display, her expression fierce.

"What do you mean, it was a marriage edict granted by the king? Wasn't it General Warren who requested the marriage through his military achievements?

"And don't talk about concubines! What General Warren wanted was a legitimate wife! When the royal edict was issued, General Warren and General Yates came to see Lady Sinclair. Would you like me to repeat what heartless words they uttered?

"General Warren said that after marrying General Yates, he would never set foot in Lady Sinclair's room again. She was only to

manage the household and continue using her dowry to support the Warren family. They expected Lady Sinclair to care for any children General Warren and General Yates had, which would give Lady Sinclair some form of purpose.

"Also, General Yates demanded a high dowry. Since the Warren family couldn't provide it, they demanded Lady Sinclair to lend them the money. She was willing, but she wouldn't give it outright. Because of that, you accused her of being heartless and ungrateful.

"Eventually, when you couldn't get what you wanted, you tried to claim that Lady Sinclair was disrespectful, unable to bear children, and that your son should unilaterally divorce her. Once a woman is unilaterally divorced, she can't reclaim her dowry. What a malicious scheme!

"How could you claim Lady Sinclair was disrespectful? Since marrying into the Warren family, has there been a day she hasn't been caring for your illness? Then you claim Lady Sinclair is unable to bear children? That's absurd! On their wedding night, General Warren left for the battlefield and returned with the intention to

marry General Yates. From the start to the end, he n

touched a finger of Lady Sinclairt in that case, how could there be any children?
