Marianne and Robert's relationship developed very smoothly. On the one hand, Rupert is indeed a very handsome and knowledgeable person. Such a person is easy to attract girls.On the other hand, Marian also has a revenge mentality. She has always felt that she is a rare good girl, not as hypocritical as those so-called ladies, and she is also very talented. In her opinion, she can find a lot of people. good man.Therefore, when Marianne met Yang Yi, she took it for granted that Yang Yi would like her, but the fact is that even if she showed great enthusiasm for Mr. Robert in front of Yang Yi these days, Yang Yi didn't care at all. Marianne was very angry.So Marianne felt that she had to find a better man in front of Yang Yi, so that Yang Yi regretted not cherishing herself before.

Mr. Robert is quite happy with all this. He is far from planning to get married now, but if there is a beautiful girl pursuing him, he will not be foolish to refuse.The most important thing is that Marian's sister is the person that his good brother likes. He can know a lot about Edward and Enoli from Marian's mouth.

In Mr. Robert's opinion, Edward's vision is really not very good. Enoli is like all the hypocritical ladies in this world. They always feel that they are very noble, but in fact they are more powerful than anyone else.Marianne was very angry when she found out from Enoli that Miss Steele had been with Edward privately for five years, but Enoli could pretend that she had no feelings for Edward and pretended to be friendly. Miss Steele gets along.She commented on Enoli in one sentence, that is, she is too sensible, even a sensible person can control her emotions.

For Mr. Robert, that is selfishness and indifference. Think about it, if a lady knows that the man she loves has cheated her feelings, and her new friend has an affair with the man she loves, But any young lady who values ​​her love a little will not be so rational.

Yang Yi watched the drama interestingly, life can be said to be colorful, but Colonel Brandon's side was dark.Colonel Brandon went straight to the friend's house on his return to London, and stayed with him until the friend's death and the funeral was over.Because he was in a bad mood, Colonel Brandon didn't want to go back to Barton so soon, so he planned to visit the manor he had prepared for his adopted daughter Alisa, but unexpectedly met Alisa who attempted suicide.

Speaking of which, Colonel Brandon is more concerned about his adopted daughter, because after all, Alisa was born to the woman he once loved deeply, and Alisa looks as beautiful as her mother, and Bu Colonel Langdon thought of her mother every time he saw her, and treated her a little better.But also because Alisa is the woman Colonel Brandon loves deeply and the child of an unknown wild man, Colonel Brandon sees that she actually has a little bit of unhappiness in his heart, even though Colonel Brandon has been Depressed, but this feeling has never disappeared.Furthermore, as Alisa grew older, she became more and more like her mother in addition to her personality. This would always make Colonel Brandon feel complicated, so he visited her less and less frequently.

"Mrs. Black, tell me why Alisa committed suicide." Colonel Brandon sat on the sofa with a straight face, staring sharply at the housekeeper, Mrs. Black.

Mrs. Black was trembling slightly in fear. Even though Colonel Brandon usually looked so gentle, as a soldier who was engaged in military industry on the battlefield, he was definitely full of hostility, especially in the When he was angry, Colonel Brandon's aura was really scary.

"Sir, I, I, it's not my fault. The lady was just cheated by a bad man." Mrs. Black said.

"What do you mean, isn't Alisa going to a girls' school, how could she meet a man?" Colonel Brandon asked with a frown.

"Miss caught a bad cold in October last year. In order not to infect her classmates, she took leave of absence from school to recuperate. Then we met the man who cheated on her feelings in London."

"London? Isn't it recuperating? Why did you go to London?" Colonel Brandon asked in a low voice.

Colonel Brandon always thought that Alisa would listen to him obediently, but now it seems that this is not the case.Whatever the reason for Alisa's going to London, one thing was certain, that Mrs. Blake would not have dared to take her without Alisa's orders.Another thing that concerned Colonel Brandon was that if a lady wanted to live in London, she couldn't be short of pounds, especially if she was alone.Although Colonel Brandon provided Alisa with a good life, he did not give her much money, so where did the money for her living in London come from?

Mrs. Black immediately realized that she had slipped her mouth, but she could no longer hide this matter, so she simply let go of her courage and said: "Miss Alisa, she goes to London twice a year."

Colonel Brandon didn't speak, but looked at Mrs. Black with deep eyes. It wasn't until Mrs. Black was shaking even more that Colonel Brandon asked hoarsely, "Where did you get the money to go to London?"

"Miss, Miss used her mother's jewelry." Mrs. Black swallowed.

"Crack." Colonel Brandon threw away the teacup in his hand, then stood up and kicked over the tea table in front of him.Colonel Brandon could hardly believe what he heard, and with a dark face, without looking at Mrs. Black, he walked upstairs by himself.

The master bedroom of this manor is decorated according to the bedroom of Alisa's mother when she was a child. There is a large dressing room there. Colonel Brandon puts all the clothes and jewelry that he bought for Alisa's mother but did not send out. got there.Only Colonel Brandon and Alisa have the key to this room, but Colonel Brandon will basically never go in, and even if he goes in, he will just take a look at it as a memory.

Taking out the key in his pocket, Colonel Brandon opened the door of the dressing room. It was cleaned very cleanly. Those beautiful clothes, shoes and hats were as if Colonel Brandon had hung them up himself. The cabinet is also well locked, and through the glass on the top, you can see that all the jewelry boxes inside are also neatly arranged.Everything seems to have never been touched, which is why Colonel Brandon didn't find that Alisa had touched anything here every time he looked at it.

Pulling open the jewelry cabinet, Colonel Brandon took a recent jewelry box and opened it. It was empty and contained nothing.Colonel Brandon suppressed his anger, opened all the jewelry boxes one by one, and then laughed mockingly.He put a total of twenty sets of jewelry in this jewelry cabinet, but now, there are only eight sets here.

Colonel Brandon felt very uncomfortable. Although he did not treat Alisa as his own daughter, he did his best to her, and even trusted her with the key here.But I didn't expect that Alisha would steal things, and stole so much.These twelve sets of missing jewelry are worth at least more than 5 pounds, which is enough for Alisa to spend her whole life.

Colonel Brandon sat on the stool by the window. Although he was sad, as a soldier, his reason was always greater than his emotions, so he quickly cleared up his mood, and then began to think about what he should do in the future What.It is undeniable that Colonel Brandon still has some feelings for Alisa over the years, so he will not drive her out, but he is not going to raise a white-eyed wolf for nothing anymore.

The next day, Colonel Brandon dismissed Mrs. Black and several servants who were close to Mrs. Black, and then went to see Alisa who was lying unconscious on the bed.Colonel Brandon already knew the whole process from Mrs. Black about Alisa's matter. It turned out that Alisa had been very generous in social occasions in London, so she attracted several men with malicious intentions. , and then Alisa took a fancy to one of them, but after the other party had been in love with Alisa for a while, he suddenly stopped seeing Alisa and wrote a letter stating that he would not be with a prostitute daughter together.What surprised Colonel Brandon was that the man's name was John Willoughby.

Because Alisa was ill in bed, Colonel Brandon had to stay at the manor temporarily, but he didn't do nothing, after all, if it was John Weller he knew who caused Alisa to do such a thing than, then he must give that person some color.So Colonel Brandon summoned a reliable maid from Brandon Manor to act as a housekeeper, and at the same time sent someone to London to inquire about Yang Yi's specific situation.

By the time Colonel Brandon returned to Barton Manor, two months had passed. During this period, Marianne and Mr. Robert had already had a fierce fight. They were like Siamese twins, always sticking together, Mr. Robert Taking Marianne down to play near Barton, almost let everyone here know that the two of them are in love.

Enoli persuaded Marian many times for this, telling her that girls should be reserved, but Marian thought that the relationship between her and Mr. Robert was already settled, so she didn't care at all.Enoli also tried to persuade Mrs. Dashwood, but Mrs. Dashwood felt that Mr. Robert must have proposed to Marianne, which is why Marianne was so bold. Save face.Enoli is very worried about this, because she has never heard a single word about Mr. Robert's proposal to her from Marianne's mouth. You must know that Marianne is not a person who can hide things.But Anoli felt that she had fulfilled her duty of dissuasion, and if Marian insisted on going her own way, she would not be able to stop her.

Yang Yi has a good relationship with Ms. Steele these days. This lady is a very scheming girl, but she is also very cute, because she will not do some rude things, and her scheming has never hurt anyone. , if there really is, it's just explaining to Enoli about her and Edward.But Anoli herself didn't show her sadness, so how could others know that she was hurt!

"Mr. Willoughby, what do you think of Mr. Robert?" During an afternoon tea, Miss Steele asked in a low voice as she looked at Marianne, who was helping Robert's portrait in the distance, while there was no one nearby. Yang Yi on the opposite side.

"Mr. Robert is a nice gentleman with a lot of ideas."

"Oh, then do you think Mr. Robert will marry Miss Marianne?" Miss Steele smiled. When Margaret unconsciously mentioned that Enoli's lover is a gentleman whose name starts with F, she pretended to be unintentional. Ask Anoli if her lover is also named Edward, and also said that she will also be best friends with Anoli for this.When Yang Yi saw it, he said that she was very thoughtful, but in fact, she just knew how to trick people.

"Mr. Robert has no property yet, how can he get married!" Yang Yi shrugged and said.

"Poor Miss Marianne," said Miss Steele regretfully.

"Do you still have feelings for that Edward? I think if you really loved him, you would have gone to him a long time ago, and you won't be staying here."

"The reason why I fell in love with Edward is because Edward is the most suitable man I can come into contact with. You also know that my life at my uncle's house must not be good. I have to do something for my own future." Miss Steele said indifferently, with her scheming, if she really fell in love with Edward, she would have gone to her door long ago, why would she let him pretend to be a bachelor outside.

"Are you not afraid that he will be robbed, such as that Miss Dashwood?"

"I'm afraid, but it's useless for me to pester him blindly. He can repent at any time before he gets married. I can only secretly eliminate some opponents. If I really lose, I won't have much loss. At most, the husband I will find in the future is not as rich as Edward." Miss Steele smiled and said, for the sake of living, she has long since disbelieved in such things as love, and what she will do is to try her best while ensuring her reputation. Just looking for a rich husband.
