Different from the simple and heavy sense of history of the living room in the lobby on the first floor of Pemberley, Wu Zhao’s living room in the bedroom on the third floor is the most popular gorgeous revival Gothic style.

As soon as you enter the living room, the floor is replaced with terracotta tiles and light gray stone slabs. Under the high ceiling, embossed plaster columns are added for decoration. The pine wood blocks in the fireplace built with terracotta bricks are also burning blazingly The dark red velvet upholstery is scattered all over the living room, the birch furniture is covered with gorgeous gold paint, and an incense burner with green smoke is placed in front of the sofa - it is the warm incense prepared by the young lady herself. .

The Scottish-style plaid sofa is wide and soft, and a beautiful woman with a slender figure is nestled inside.

"Are you back?" Wu Zhao flipped through a novel in his hand, and casually asked Sarah who was pushing the door in, "What did you find out?"

Sarah just came in from the cold corridor outside, feeling the warmth rushing towards her face, she couldn't help shivering comfortably.

Hearing Wu Zhao's question, he quickly smiled and said, "Well, it's nothing. It's just a matter of being watched in the original room. But from what I heard, it seems that Mr. Darcy is not going to let her out in a short time."

She leaned forward and whispered in Wu Zhao's ear: "From my point of view, Mr. Darcy locked people up for more than just this matter. The servant next to him came and asked Sirius a few words." I just left, but it seems that I didn’t ask anything——I’ve already called the servant who guards Sirius, do you want to see him in person?”

Wu Zhao closed the book that hadn't read a few pages. She was already puzzled, so she nodded and agreed, "Call him in and I'll ask him a few words."

In the past two years in Pemberley, Wu Zhao has already managed the inside and outside of the manor like an iron bucket, holding all the power in his own hands.

Qing Niang took over the affairs of the farm and ranch outside, and Sarah, who had been serving Wu Zhao personally, tacitly gradually took matters into her hands in the Pemberley Manor.Pemberley is now the de facto manager, but Mrs. Reynolds has taken a back seat and only takes care of simple things.

Naturally, today's male servants dare not disobey Sara's instructions, even if they are waiting in the cold corridor for a summons that they don't know will be summoned, they honestly dare not have the slightest complaint—in case they can see Miss Darcy, How about being promoted by Miss?This is Pemberley's one and only ruler!

Sara came out of the living room lightly, the gentle smile on her face disappeared completely, and she became cold instantly. She raised her head slightly and looked at the male servant waiting outside, with a hint of sternness in her tone: "Miss Tell you to go in. After you go in, tell the truth what you should say, and let me find out what is hidden—"

She paused, as if leaving endless room for imagination to the manservant, and then said flatly, "You don't want to stay in Pemberley any longer."

The manservant's tall body seemed shy in front of the thin and thin Sarah. He nodded repeatedly and vowed again and again that he would answer the truth.

Only then did Sarah agree with satisfaction, and raised her hand to signal him to follow her inside.

In the room, Wu Zhao has already sat up straight from the sofa

, but did not put down the book in his hand, still holding it in his hand.

Sarah replied respectfully: "Miss, the person has already brought it."

Wu Zhao neither nodded nor answered, just flipped through the book in his hand, and waited until the male servant was trembling and sweating from the heat, then he asked unhurriedly: "Brother today What did your valet go to Sirius to ask?"

The male servant who stood with his head bowed felt relieved, quickly wiped the sweat from his brow, and replied respectfully: "He closed the door when he asked the question, and we were all at the door, so we didn't hear much. To Mr. de Boer and Miss Anna, and inheritance and so on. I can't hear anything else."

Wu Zhao's fingers unconsciously tapped on the armrest, feeling something flashed in his mind, but he didn't grasp it.She thought for a while, then asked again: "What did brother say about Miss Hirels?"

The servant quickly bent over and said cautiously: "Mr. Darcy ordered that two guards be kept on guard every day, and she is not allowed to come out of her room."

"Is this fucking up?" Wu Zhao thought to himself, "It seems that there is still something going on."

She thought about it, smiled and beckoned the male servant to come closer, her tone was a lot gentler, "Siryls usually likes to go for a walk in the countryside, and I'm afraid I can't bear it after being locked up for a long time. Her bedroom is also On the first floor, the scenery is just right, the windows of Pemberley Manor are wide and the sunshine is attractive. You don’t need to be dragged down by her, it’s better to prevent it in advance.”

Wu Zhao dragged out his voice, and said slowly and oppressively, "You—do you understand what I mean?"

The manservant swallowed dryly, and was in a daze when he suddenly saw Sarah at the side knocking on the windproof wooden board on the window of the living room. "I know, I know, Miss Darcy thinks of us, and prevents problems before they happen——I will seal the doors and windows with wooden boards to ensure that there is no light at all, and I will definitely not let Miss Cyrils be tempted by the outside. Or you Thoughtful!"

Wu Zhao smiled and didn't speak, but Sara stepped forward and scolded: "What did Miss say? It's clear that Sirius ignored Mr. Darcy's order to make her reflect. After a long time, she couldn't stand the temptation from outside." , Lost her employer and fled privately, the winter is cold, how can a delicate single lady survive? You have no choice but to seal the doors and windows to prevent her from escaping. It is also a good intention."

She deliberately emphasized the words "over time", and sure enough, the manservant understood, and bowed in response, "Yes, yes, it's almost Christmas, Mr. and Miss Darcy." We are not here, we have nowhere to ask for instructions, so we made the decision privately."

Only then did Sara laugh, and turned around to ask Wu Zhao respectfully, "Miss, what do you think?"

Wu Zhao nodded slightly, and praised the valet: "You are very smart. There are few people like this in Pemberley. After Christmas, the old Mr. Lasalle who is in charge of the valet will retire. Well done, you will take his place."

This is a benefit. Compared with directly giving this young and strong manservant who obviously wants to go further, a rising position is obviously desirable.

more meaning.

Sure enough, the male servant's eyes sparkled brightly. Regardless of not getting any benefits, he bowed repeatedly to thank Wu Zhao, and praised Wu Zhao excitedly: "You are so kind, miss!"

Even if things are done like this, Wu Zhao will neither give benefits in advance to prevent people from taking money and not do things, nor will they be so stingy that they will not give anything, so that people will be responsible for nothing. She has always been good at employing people. well done.

She made a playful effort, and Sarah had already led the servant outside the door, ordered a few words to do things well, and came back.

Only the two of them were there, and Sarah looked more relaxed and lively. She leaned in front of Wu Zhao's lap, and asked with a smile, "Why did you think of shutting down Xirels? I don't think you cared about her provocation before, just It's time to adjust your life."

Wu Zhao also smiled, shook his head and said: "I don't want to do anything to her. Didn't we see such a person in the past? The behavior of a villain who bullies the weak and fears the hard. It was only when I heard my brother asked me to ask that I thought there was something else going on here. Something else."

"Maybe..." Wu Zhao looked intently at the fire in the fireplace, and said hesitantly, "It has something to do with the De Boer family. As far as I know, my aunt, since the time Mr. De Boer passed away, began to mention my brother. Marriage with Anna? I see that my brother is not very willing. Maybe he wants to get something from Xirels."

Sara listened quietly, and suddenly realized: "I said, why are you so hard on Cyrils? It turns out that you want to help Mr. Darcy get what he wants earlier——I can guarantee that the trick of closing the small black room , Hirels won't be able to hold on for long before he has to spit out all the things he should spit out!"

Wu Zhao nodded, "I think so too. She has been in De Boer's house for many years, and my brother must have known something to lock her up—otherwise, with his temperament, Xirels would have been fired on the spot. "

"That's right!" Sara echoed with a smile, "Mr. Darcy is a good brother, Your Majesty, your life is much better than your last life, not to mention your relatives!"

Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Who said it wasn't... That's why I tried my best to help him."
