The first news that Longbourne received was that the youngest of the Bennetts, Lydia Bennett, had set off from London, with another young man, for Scotland.

That is... eloped.

The person who sent the message was Uncle Phillips. He waited alone on Cheapside Street for a day, but in the evening, he received a letter from his niece.

Mr. Phillips could not believe his eyes.

His niece came to London to talk about publishing, so where did he get the idea to elope?

However, the letter left by my niece clearly states:

"I'm going to Gretna Green...the man I love is only one in this world, he's such an angel...1"

Signed "Lydia Wickham".

Mr. Phillips refused to believe it was true, and went to visit the publisher, Mr. Skrtell, overnight.

Mr. Skrtel couldn't believe it was true either—Miss Bennett was extremely impressed by the publisher: when she heard that the book was not only likely to be published, but would be reprinted, the whole person went from beginning to end. The feet are full of joy and joy.

The girl's sincere joy from the heart is enough to move everyone.

How could such a Miss Bennett turn around and elope within the next few hours?

However, Miss Lydia Bennet did leave quietly from the drawing room of his bookstore.

When Mr. Skrtel returned with all the signed documents, he saw the empty reception room, and the half-drunk tea and the rest of the refreshments were still placed on the large oak table.

According to Mrs. Young in the bookstore, she once saw Miss Bennet go out and leave side by side with a young man.

Throughout the whole process, Miss Bennett left voluntarily without anyone forcing her to leave.

Mr. Phillips was so anxious that he immediately used his various connections in London to go to various hotels and carriage houses to inquire about news that night.

There are so many small hotels and carriages in London, finding these two young people is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the early morning of the next day, Mr. Phillips sent the first letter to Longborn, briefly reporting the preliminary conclusion of Lydia's "elopement".

Longborn, the whole Bennett family were stunned.

Mrs. Bennet fell ill on the spot and began to suffer from nervous torments.

And Mr. Bennet paced back and forth in the mansion, frowning, trying to figure out the whole process and consequences.

"No, it's impossible..."

"Lydia can't possibly like Wickham!"

Kitty was the closest person to her sister, and she would never believe that her sister should run away with Wickham.

"However, you can't confirm that Lydia hates Wickham, can you?"

Jane raised an objection. She had seen her sister and Mr. Wickham together - when the two talked together, there was a natural familiarity, as if they were people from the same place, and only they could understand each other talking about something.

"Could it be that they had a crush on each other, but no one told them?"

Mary tapped on the table: "Please let us go back to the beginning of the question: if Lydia and Wickham have a crush on each other, why did they go to Scotland?"

"Isn't it enough for Mr. Wickham to propose directly?"

"Please note that our sisters Bennett are rich, and Mr. Wickham is also rich!"

Everyone immediately felt that Mary's question was very reasonable.

"Unless... she feels that she is a little sister, and it is unlikely that she will get married before her sisters."

Kitty thought of a reason for her sister, and everyone sighed together.

On the afternoon of the third day after Rowland's disappearance, Mr. Phillips returned to Meryton, having failed in the City of London, and brought the letters left by his niece to Longbourne.

When Mrs. Bennet saw her daughter's handwriting, she burst into tears immediately, and forced Mr. Bennet to go to London or Scotland to find someone. He must see his daughter and Mr. Wickham get married properly before returning home. .

But Mary read the letter left by her sister, but said calmly: "Everyone, this is not a letter from Lydia."

The sisters were all in a daze, and even Uncle Phillips was surprised.Everyone stared at Mary together.

But Mary said with confidence: "In this letter, every word is spelled accurately, and there is not a single spelling mistake. It cannot be written by Lydia."

Kitty nodded quickly: "That's right...I said why this letter always reads wrong."

Everyone in the Bennett family: ...is this okay?

Therefore, in Derbyshire, the first letter Elizabeth received reported to her the fact that Lydia had "run away" with Wickham;

The second letter gave a new inference. The family believed that the youngest lady of the Bennett family might have been hijacked secretly by Mr. Wickham.

It is hard to say which situation is worse - if it is really an elopement, if the parties really went to Scotland to get married, it would be okay, but according to Mr. Phillips' investigation, there is no evidence that this young couple went to Scotland.

If it is hijacked, the result is even worse-this means that Lydia and Wickham, unmarried men and women, once lived alone. If they can't get married in the end, then Lydia has completely become a shameless, wanton woman. The woman... Her life was completely ruined.

At the same time, the reputation of all the Bennett sisters will be ruined by the little sister;

In contrast, the wealth added to the Bennett family by the "road toll right" is simply not worth the damage caused by this incident.

The family is even more anxious.

Mr Bennett went to London himself and vowed to find his daughter.Jane therefore wrote to Elizabeth, asking her to ask her uncle for help.

When Elizabeth received the letter, she happened to meet Mr. Darcy.

Elizabeth couldn't control herself, and finally cried out in front of Mr. Darcy:

"It's all my fault. I know the true face of Mr. Wickham. I have always believed that my sister is a sensible and rational girl and will not be fooled by Wickham... But I never reminded my sister that she might To face such a sinister heart..."

When Mr. Darcy heard the news, he froze in place, unable to believe it was true.

"Miss Elizabeth, with all due respect—"

After digesting all the news, Mr. Darcy said seriously:

"The top priority is to find Lingmei's whereabouts first, at all costs, before talking about anything else."

"Sister Georgiana just came to Derbyshire from near London these two days... I originally planned to pick her up, and then invite you to my humble house..."

"Thank you for your hospitality, but now, I have no intention of going to the house as a guest at all."

Elizabeth raised her eyes, and looked tearfully at Mr. Darcy.

At this time, the only thing she can do is to go back with the Gardners, go back to the family, and see what can help them.

"really……"

Mr. Darcy could only say those two words.

He saluted Elizabeth farewell.

"Please forgive me for having to leave, Miss Elizabeth. Please also believe that auspicious people have their own destiny, and your sister... will be safe and sound."

The young gentleman just turned and left, leaving Elizabeth with a back.

Elizabeth was stunned, feeling a pang of regret in her heart.

She has obviously reviewed all prejudices and made all preparations, and wants to get along well with this gentleman...

But at this moment, the situation is urgent, and Elizabeth can't care about any regrets.She immediately found her aunt and uncle.

When the Gardners heard the news, they didn't dare to neglect, and immediately started to clean up.The group left Langton the next morning and headed for Meryton.

They had just left Langton, walked for a day, and stopped at a hotel.Mr. Darcy actually appeared again.

"Miss Elizabeth Bennett, Mr. Gardner...I have a very important request." Mr. Darcy asked solemnly in a solemn tone.

"I must invite you to stay in Derbyshire, and to go to Pemberley, my humble home - as guests."

Roland seemed to have had a long dream.

In her dream, she saw many stories—the "masterpieces" on the bookshelves, as if they had all become the "best editions" of the planes of masterpieces, playing one after another in front of her eyes.

These stories are so realistic, Roland seems to accompany the protagonists and taste the ups and downs of life - it's as if she has taken all the "literary history" courses that she missed before seriously.

However, the years she spent in the plane of the 18th century gave her a deeper understanding of these "life".

But when she woke up from the "essence of masterpieces", she was not in the publisher's reception room full of books.

She was in an ordinary-looking living room, lying on a single sofa.The living room was lit, dimly lit.It was already dark outside the window.

Roland was taken aback and sat up hastily.

She looked around and saw that the small handbag she always carried with her was gone, she already said "Oops" in her heart.

At this time, a plainly dressed woman came in with a tray in her hand to deliver dinner to Roland.

Roland recognized her immediately: "Mrs. Young!"

"Miss Bennet, how are you resting?"

As Mrs. Young said, she put the dinner on the tea table in front of her.

Roland lowered his head and saw Mrs. Younger putting down a pair of silver wine glasses.

"So it's that cup of tea..."

As soon as he uttered this idea, Roland himself denied it: he was so immersed in the world of "masterpieces" that he lost his consciousness in the plane, which was obviously arranged by the producer.

This... the producer is too disrespectful of martial arts!

They actually used this method to force her to be transported here.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Young immediately admitted with a smile.

"Yes, you slept peacefully after drinking that cup of tea. I'll have someone take you out of the bookstore's back door."

So it turned out that she was smuggled out of the bookstore in this way, out of the sight of the publisher.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mrs. Young: "Did you know? Your behavior is actually a crime..."

Mrs. Young smiled softly: "How am I committing a crime? I'm doing adult beauty, shouldn't you thank me?"

She raised her chin and looked towards the door, and said, "Mr. Wickham, I will leave this to you. After you two get married, please don't forget me as a great matchmaker."

The door squeaked, Wickham opened the door, and said with a greasy smile, "Of course not, I forgot and no one can forget you!"

"Yes, yes, I'm leaving now, leaving you young couple to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this beautiful day. The dinner is over there!" Mrs. Young raised her hands high, indicating that she did not want to disturb the young couple any longer, and walked out Before going out, he did not forget to ask Wickham for a five pound note.

After Mrs. Young left, Wickham closed the door and came to Roland. He sat on the sofa side by side with her, stretched out his hand, picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Roland.

But Roland didn't answer: at this point, can she still trust any food and drink that Wickham offers?

"Even in the planes, you need food and water."

Wickham looked very experienced.

"Come on, don't do things that hurt yourself, it's pointless."

"Besides, it's not my arrangement to bring you here—I'm just like you, but an actor with a script, a clown led by someone..."

You are the clown - Roland wrinkled his nose at Wickham and rolled his eyes.

But Wickham laughed: "Miss, you still don't believe it, haven't you heard of 'must go plot'?"

Roland: ...? !

She suddenly remembered what Luna said: "Brighton" is a process rather than a result.

In other words, her "must go plot" did not end just because she avoided Brighton.

This episode, instead of going on a seaside vacation or flirting with a dozen handsome gentlemen in a bustling town, is actually...

"Yes, Miss Lydia Bennett—'Elopement' is a must for the two of us."

Wickham whispered in Roland's ear.

In other words, Roland was not put down by Mrs. Young's cup of tea at all.

When she was in the publisher's bookstore, she naturally entered the shielded environment created by the producer. She thought she was watching those "famous" stories, but in the eyes of the audience in the plane, she was taken away by Wickham. Went to the bookstore, came here, and was about to elope with Wickham...

The whole event was arranged by the producer;

In other words, it is fate that arranges everything.

As mentioned in the synopsis - the heroine's sister elopes with someone.However, Roland has long forgotten.

Even if she remembered, she would never have imagined that there were so many Bennett sisters...

"This is a must-go plot for both of us, which is equivalent to our fate."

Wickham handed Roland the wine into her hand, raised his hand and poured himself another glass.

"So, stop treating yourself badly. It's pointless. It's useless to struggle." Wickham comforted her in a low voice.

"It's not that I haven't struggled, I don't want to be Wickham, I also want to be a good person-but what should I do, even if I get this unlucky character card, I can't be a well-liked person at all." people……"

"I also want to change, I have also tried to fight against the 'must go plot', why do I want to elope all the time?... But they told me that there is only one way to get around—"

"It's a retirement!"

Roland murmured to answer.

"You know it too?" Wickham took a sip of wine and whispered into Roland's ear.

"Yes!"

Roland raised her head, she thought of Charlotte Lucas.

Charlotte came to meet her just before retiring, and left a message before leaving.

"I hope that when you face 'fate', you can also have the power to make choices in the plane as you said."

Roland now fully understands what Charlotte means, and also understands his own predicament.

"Listen, baby," Wickham continued, whispering in Roland's ear.

"If you marry me, the two of us are like a strong alliance."

"You are already very successful. You already have property, an industry under your own name, and patents. I heard that you can still publish..."

"And me, I'm not bad either. I have plantations in America and shipping business on the sea."

"After you and I got married, we went back side by side to those who looked down on us, slapped them loudly in the face, and told them: We are back, and we will replace the rotten hypocrisy of the old...future world It will be up to us."

Roland stared into Wickham's eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't think the characters on this plane are all corrupt, hypocritical, old-fashioned. On the contrary, I think the people on this plane are also seeking change and progress..."

Every plane has its own limitations, and Roland doesn't think he is more noble than the "natives" in this plane——

On the contrary, she has seen kindness and friendship in many people, which is the shining point of humanity that runs through all planes.

"Besides, you have plantations in America and shipping business on the sea—you are fully capable of achieving your own goals with your own strength. Why do you have to join hands with me?"

As soon as Roland's words fell, Wickham's face suddenly showed embarrassment.

"After all, my industry is not in England... The audience may not be able to see it..."

"Besides, Miss, isn't this a must-do plot?" Wickham reminded again.

"My dear Lydia baby, now, it's time for you to make up your mind."

"You have only two choices now, one is to elope with me. I promise to marry you - we will have a very grand wedding, you know I never mean about these things..."

"We can still stage emotional dramas with deep affection."

Wickham moved closer again, and Roland shrank back in disgust.

Unexpectedly, Wickham whispered: "Don't be afraid, this plane is for all ages, and all scenes below the neck will be coded throughout. There will be no real contact between the two of us."

Roland: ...

Wickham approached her, but turned his head: "If you don't like the kissing scene, we can borrow a seat..."

Roland's embarrassment was overflowing, and the expression management was over.

"If you don't agree, you can only choose to 'retire'. You will lose all the prize money - think about it, you have persisted in this plane for so long and paid so much, and this is almost the end You just retired..."

"You're in a panic!"

Wickham scolded quietly.

Roland also felt the same: She worked so hard...but why did she have to face such a predicament.

Either go against your own heart, or stick to yourself but give up all the achievements in this plane...

But... wait...

This "Must Go Plot", she remembered was a card - "Must Go Plot Card".

She also had a "personal maintenance card" - this card was eventually canceled due to her efforts.

In the final analysis, these plane reality shows are commercial activities, and the production direction will not hesitate to modify the rules for the sake of ratings.

So, does this also apply to the "must go plot"?

Roland suddenly had an idea.

She turned to look at Wickham, and her eyes began to light up.But the other party had already gently supported her slender waist and helped her up from the sofa.

"Come on baby, let's dance together, tomorrow, tomorrow we will embark on a beautiful and smooth road hand in hand..."

Roland's bright eyes probably made Wickham feel hopeful. He hummed softly, supported Roland, and gently embraced her, dancing in circles in the empty living room, just like at a ball in Netherfield like that.
