[Tess of the D'Urbervilles] Concubine Wan Gui counterattacks the doormat

The rise of seances, psychics, etc., was around the 60s in England.

As religion has been impacted by new scientific theories and even empirical evidence, the pope can no longer fully grasp the country. Poverty, violence, crime and other black smoke enveloped this country known as the "Empire on which the sun never sets". People are not punished accordingly, and the painful and confused people have to work hard to find new spiritual substitutes. At this time, Prince Albert, the king's husband, died of typhoid fever, and the Queen of Sadness built a large number of The cemetery, the whole country is immersed in the retention and memory of the souls of the dead, so psychics came into being.

As the name suggests, a psychic is a person who can communicate between the soul and reality.

On this day, Baroness Jones, who came to visit the d'Urbervilles, mysteriously told her the following thing:

"...Mr. Edward Burgess has been dreaming of his wife Liz, who died last year, since he remarried last month, and has been visiting him almost every night, which frightens this talented poet..." Mrs. Jones spread her fan Covering his mouth halfway, he lowered his voice and continued: "Later, the psychic Miss Helen told him that Liz just wanted the collection of love poems he wrote to her back then. Mr. Burgess had the coffin reopened and put the collection of poems in the Later, the servant who opened the coffin went back and told his master that the body of the ex-wife was very well preserved, as if she was asleep, and the red hair was still growing! Mr. Burgess was very moved, But I really never dreamed of his Liz again... Oh! What a touching love story!" Every time Mrs. Jones told others, she couldn't help covering her face with her fan and crying.

The empress was distracted to see her second son Orange sitting on the carpet playing with building blocks with her youngest daughter Audrey in his arms, and said casually, "Oh, yes, it sounds really sad."

But Lisa, who was sitting by the side, was most interested in the man's follow-up, and quickly asked: "What happened to Mr. Burgess and the current Mrs. Burgess?"

Mrs. Jones was very pleased that someone praised her place, took Lisa's hand, and said: "Oh, Mrs. Knightley, that is a very good question of yours. I heard that Mr. Burgess has been trapped in his study. Keep drawing pictures of Leeds, oh how pathetic!"

Unlike Mrs. Jones who blindly imitated Mr. Burgess' affection, Lisa was originally happy with the ending of this wicked man's retribution, but when she thought about her current situation, she felt very depressed. She murmured in a low voice. Said: "...Man, is it true that you are so attached to your ex-wife?"

She was so depressed that even the empress, who didn't pay much attention to what they were saying, couldn't help but glance at her sister.

It was only then that Mrs. Jones realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and quickly corrected it: "Oh, dear, you are different from Mrs. Burgess. After all, Mr. Knightley has been heartbroken by the betrayal of his former wife... "

It’s okay if Mrs. Jones didn’t say anything, but when Lisa said it, she was even more sad. She remembered how much Burton loved his ex-wife and how much she had heard about his ex-wife, and even waited for her for 16 years. Mrs. Knightley abandoned Burton, so she had a chance to pick up a second-hand Burton... However, she couldn't help but think of his piercing eyes, so she sighed helplessly.If he wasn't so handsome and fascinating, maybe he wouldn't be so distressed now, hey——

Seeing Lisa's little face that was in infinite distress, the empress reminded lightly: "Lisa Knightley, don't make such a stupid expression with your face that resembles mine."

Lisa's eyes lit up immediately, yes, she has such an outstanding face, and if she boiled the frog in warm water for Burton, as time passed, she didn't believe that she couldn't win his heart!

Thinking of this, Lisa's frustrated little face suddenly glowed with the usual brilliance, and the empress was satisfied.

"Good afternoon, all beautiful ladies." Alec, who had been conferred the title of Marquess of Bute by the Queen, took off his white gloves and threw them to the servants as he entered, striding in.

"Daddy! Daddy!" The two children who were playing on the carpet immediately reached out to hug their father when they saw their father. Alec laughed loudly, holding a child in one hand, he came over and first bent down and kissed each side of the mother's face. Said loudly: "I still love you today, my Marchioness."

The empress gave a "hmm" and said, "I love you too, Mr. Marquis."

This loving couple made both Mrs. Jones and Lisa unconsciously look envious.

The 16-year-old eldest son, Auston d'Urberville, who was studying abroad, followed his father in and asked the servant to take his suitcase upstairs. After his parents showed their love, he bent down and hugged his mother, "Mom, I came back."

The empress showed a gratified smile, "I'm glad you're back, my little baby."

Mr. d'Urberville, who had become calm under his mother's "exercise", showed a perfect smirk even though he was dissatisfied with the title of mother in his heart.

"Crack!" Lisa reached out and patted Oston's arm, reprimanded arrogantly: "Who taught you to show such a hypocritical smile to your mother? It's really impolite, sister, am I right?" She turned her head to please the empress.

The empress also showed a smile similar to that of Auston just now, which made Auston's scalp tingle.

Alston knew that he could never escape his mother's palm at any time. Do you think the seemingly innocent Aunt Lisa would suddenly reprimand him for no reason?Apparently it was Mom's idea.

Thinking of this, he quickly showed a begging expression, "Mom, am I wrong, don't be angry, okay?" There was still a 16-year-old boy's immature vibrato in his coquettish tone.

The empress stretched out her hand to touch the little brown curly hair on Auston's head, squinted her eyes comfortably and said, "Auston, why is mom willing to be angry with you? You are my mother's baby." She was very familiar with her mother's ghost. Oston, who was of the nature, quickly lowered his head and let his mother caress obediently.

If the students who have been oppressed by Auston's glamorous glamor see this scene, their eyes will drop in surprise. Therefore, no matter how old you are, in front of your mother, you are still a child who can't grow up. ah!Lisa thought.

"What were you talking about just now?" Alec didn't know his son's bitter heart, and sat on the couch with the two children on one side, next to his mother.

Mrs. Jones quickly replied: "Oh, Mr. Marquis, we are talking about the deeds of the most famous psychic in London, Miss Helen."

Alec raised his eyebrows with interest, "Oh, psychic? It's a new word."

Orange and Audrey were impatient to listen to what the adults said, so they broke away from their father and let their brother Auston go upstairs to play with them.Poor Alston finally got rid of his mother's serious "love".

Lisa thought of those mysterious psychics who used to use divination to solve the criminal-police case when watching American dramas in modern times. Is it really effective? Can you calculate our past and present lives?" She blinked, revealing information that only the two of them could understand.

Empress is a little dazed.Past life... She seems to have forgotten it for a long time, and what happened in her previous life has become more and more blurred in her mind.

Alec saw that his wife was in a daze, and thought she was thinking about this question, so he put his arms around his wife who was still as beautiful as before, and said, "Honey, if you are interested, we can visit this mysterious Miss Helen, what do you think?" What's the idea?"

The empress actually didn't want to get in touch with the past, but for some reason she still nodded in a strange way, and she didn't realize what she had done until she finished nodding, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.But soon, she was relieved.Why not just to verify?

She looked up at Lisa, "Do you want to come together, Lisa?"

Lisa had already seen her brother-in-law Alec's glare at her, and knew that he just wanted to live alone with her beloved wife, so she politely refused, "No, I want Burton to accompany me. "

The empress then stopped talking, and just like that, this trip to find out the truth about psychics was decided.

Niang Niang and Alec were sitting in a dark room, and saw a 20-year-old woman wearing glasses searching in the cabinet, and then took out a writing board supported by three small wooden pillars, and placed it in front of them. .

She said slowly in an inscrutable tone: "This is a Ouija board, which can automatically reveal the answers to the questions you want to ask, and it is on the white paper under the Ouija board."

The empress asked suspiciously: "How do I know that you really have the ability to communicate with souls?"

Helen seemed to be very dissatisfied with the empress' questioning, but she just frowned and said with a good temper: "Okay, then I'll let you see my ability now."

She put her hand on a small table beside her, murmured a few words, and suddenly, a miraculous thing happened, the small table was suspended in mid-air with Helen's hand.

Alec said "Oh?" in surprise, only Niang Niang remained silent.

Helen let the table down and said, "Now do you understand, questioning madam?"

The empress just looked at the small table thoughtfully, but didn't answer, Helen finally got angry, she felt that her ability was offended, and decided that she would never answer half a question of this rude lady!So she turned to face the gentleman in front of her.

"What do you want to ask, sir?"

Alec scratched his chin. In fact, he didn't have any doubts. He just wanted to go out with his wife to relax and meet the lady who is said to be the most popular psychic medium in London, so he just asked a question:

"Well, what I want to ask is, how long can my wife and I live?"

Miss Helen refused arrogantly: "Sir, I only do divination for you."

The empress twitched the corners of her mouth slightly after hearing this, so Alec could only shrug his shoulders and say, "Okay, as you wish, Miss Helen."

It was only then that Helen began to display her abilities. She put her hand on the divination board and did not move. After a while, the writing on the white paper below really began to appear. At this moment, even the empress couldn't help but stare sideways.

After a long time, Helen finally used her ability, pulled out the white paper, glanced at the content on the white paper, and immediately showed a surprised expression, she turned to Alec in shock, "Oh, sir, this must be An incredible thing."

As she spoke, she turned the white paper to them.

On the white paper, it was written crookedly: "You, are, dead."

Alec felt ridiculous and sneered.But the empress suddenly stood up, took the Ouija board, Helen was caught off guard, and the empress snatched the tool away, probably she had never encountered such a rude guest before, and she hadn't reacted until now.

The empress showed Alec the three wooden pillars under the Ouija board: "There is toner underneath." She explained lightly, that is to say, these words were obviously written by Helen herself, and they have no ability at all!Alec suddenly became angry from embarrassment, no matter who was cursed like this, his temper would not get any better.

Only then did Helen come to her senses, and quickly retorted: "Nonsense! How about the floating table just now?"

The empress glanced at the table, and said mercilessly: "The light tea stains on the table are actually to cover up the things on it. I guess, maybe they are nails or something like that?"

Alec immediately went over to snatch the table, reached out his hand to touch the top of the tea stain, and sure enough, he touched an inconspicuous nail, and suddenly realized: "So that's how you lied! Levitating with your fingers between the nails, thanks to you, you can also practice it." so!"

Helen panicked, pointed at the door and shouted loudly: "Get out! For you two ungodly believers, my ability has been tarnished! Get out!"

Alec smiled angrily, "Very good, Miss Helen, I think you should communicate your ability to the judge." After finishing speaking, he was satisfied to see the other party's face change color, and embraced his beautiful The wife is out.

Ridiculous!He, Alec d'Urberville, still had a long time to live, and he would not catch death without a fight!

He looked down at his wife's face that hadn't faded but became more and more beautiful with the passage of time, and thought to himself, even if he didn't say anything else, he wouldn't be willing to let his well-raised wife become a widow and then take advantage of other men !

Feeling that Alec was holding her arm harder, the empress frowned and reminded: "Alec."

Only then did Alec loosen his grip quickly, but still insisted on holding the other party, so the empress had no choice but to let him go.

At night, Alec tossed and turned, couldn't help but tossed his little wife, who was sleeping peacefully next to him, several times, and was almost kicked out of bed by her who was furious, and fell asleep contentedly.

He found himself in a gray winter afternoon, when the north wind was howling and raging, but he was lying in the haystack, and saw a woman wearing a gray shabby turban and a fat peasant woman's clothes, bending over with difficulty. Shoveling hay, in the cold, her rough panting turned into white smoke.The peasant woman turned around, and Alec almost screamed, why, he saw his favorite wife on such a low farm!Her chin was pointed, and there was no trace of blood on her face, and what he couldn't stand the most was that her eyebrows that used to make him lose his soul were shaved off!

When he was in shock, his wife seemed to have found him, and her face instantly became paler, as if she saw death, she screamed in despair: "Why are you still here?" Her crying sound suddenly Alec was stunned, and then he noticed that the wife in front of him was as immature as a 16-year-old face.

Alec continued to be dazed, but she covered her face in despair and sobbed: "...what on earth do you want...won't you slap me?" She felt exhausted like never before, and she couldn't even speak. I didn't have any strength, so I could only sit on the ground all of a sudden, extremely weak.

"I'd be a fool to be mad at you for anything you say or do," Alec heard himself saying, in a tone of seduction he'd almost forgotten he had used a long, long time ago, " Look how much your delicate hands and feet are shaking! How can you be so stubborn? I have already told the farmer that no farm with better conditions will use women to replace machines. You know this very well. I'll take you home."

He saw his little wife looking at him helplessly.

As soon as the scene changed, in the narrow small room, his little wife stared at him fiercely with eyes that wished to kill him, and she was very excited: "You lied to me! You lied to me cruelly! You lied to me!" My words have never stopped - my brother, my sister, and my mother, they need help, you use these to impress me! But what about my husband? He's back now! Back! "

Alec found himself lying on the bed, and said with a sneer: "He will never love you again... You betrayed him time and time again, only I can let you rely on!"

"No! No!" The woman covered her ears like crazy.Yes, woman, Alec can no longer connect the lunatic in front of him with his always noble and charming wife, but Alec in this body likes to see her go crazy in pain, and has been saying something to stimulate her on purpose, finally , he watched helplessly as that strange yet familiar crazy woman stabbed the fruit knife on the table into his stomach...

It really hurt... He only heard the dripping sound of "Tick! Tick!" and closed his eyes in excruciating pain.

"Alec! Alec!..." The familiar voice moved from far to near, revealing the care and anxiety that were usually hidden under the cool voice.As calm as her, would there be moments of anxiety?Who is she...

Alec's eyeballs moved under his eyelids, and it took him a long time to open them with difficulty. Under the dim candlelight, he saw the face that made him want to cry.

"What's the matter?" He lay motionless on the bed and asked weakly.

She looked worried, "Honey, you just kept crying for pain." As she spoke, she put her hand on his forehead, checked it, and felt that it should be all right, but she still asked worriedly: "How are you?"

Alec still didn't move, put his arms on his eyes, tears flowed from his eyes instantly, and cried like a wolf after being injured.

The empress panicked instantly, "A Li..." Before she finished speaking, she was pulled into his arms by the man and hugged her tightly, as if she was going to disappear in the next second, the empress hesitated for a moment, and stretched out her hand like coaxing a child She patted his back and comforted him slowly.

Alec burst into tears.

That's great, it turned out that it was all a dream just now, and the person I love is still sleeping beside me...
