Although the Bennett family has a good family background, the old Mr. Bennett built this house when he was young. Later, although Mr. Bennett had the idea of ​​renovating it, with the successive births of five daughters in the family , He gradually realized that even if he repaired the house, he would leave it to the son of the brother he hated to inherit. Not to mention the whole person became more and more depressed, and even less had the idea of ​​repairing the house.

Three or 40 years ago, this house was considered novel and popular, and the area was sufficient, but the five daughters in the family gradually became adults, and the house seemed a bit insufficient.

The two eldest ladies of the Bennet family, Jane and Elizabeth, originally shared a bedroom, but then Lydia always laughed at Mary the nerd, which made the three people's bedroom very messy, and Mrs. Bennet couldn't help it. Don't ask the two sisters to accept Mary to live with them.

Fortunately, both Elizabeth and Jane were good-tempered girls, and they accepted Mary without any complaints.Although this made their not-so-spacious room even more cramped, in Elizabeth's private remark, "it's fortunate that it was Mary and not Lydia, with her noisy nature, that made the room cramped." I can't wait any longer!"

So in this room, in addition to the two beds side by side, there is also a large sofa that can be stretched out by the window. At night, it will be Mary's bed. If it is daytime, or there are girls When close friends in the boudoir come to visit, then this place can only be temporarily used as a chair for entertaining guests.

Wu Zhao is now sitting on this slightly shabby sofa, and Qing Niang and Sara have already approached the door thoughtfully, not only not to cause psychological pressure on Elizabeth, but also to prevent anyone from outside the door from entering without knocking.

Elizabeth was a little bluntly uneasy, but felt that her mood was unreasonable. She forced a smile and asked in confusion: "Georgiana, what sad news are you talking about?"

"I didn't want to tell you so directly, but whether it's for your reputation or the harmony of the family, I've thought it over and over again, and I think it's necessary to tell you about this matter."

Wu Zhao said slowly, she purposely kept her tone calm, just to prevent Elizabeth from blaming herself too much, after all, it wasn't her fault.

Lydia is just Elizabeth's sister, not her daughter, so this is not Elizabeth's responsibility. It should be the responsibility of the Bennetts to teach their children to be upright.

"Georgiana, I beg you, please hurry up. I'm dying of anxiety - you know, the most frightening thing for a condemned prisoner is not the execution, but the moment when the guillotine is hung around the neck before the execution."

Elizabeth clasped her hands together and put them on her forehead, looking extremely nervous. She tried to make her voice less nervous by making a small joke, but it obviously didn't help.In Wu Zhao's ears, her voice was still tense.

"Okay then." Wu Zhao compromised, "Do you still remember the set of jewelry I brought today? This is a relic left by my mother, and it used to be one of her favorite jewelry. So it is in terms of money. The value is still second, the most important thing is

I miss my mother. "

Wu Zhao properly showed a trace of nostalgia for his dead mother. Although his eyes were on Elizabeth, they seemed to be looking at someone else through her.

"I remember, we mentioned it downstairs just now, I still remember—" Elizabeth could almost guess what Wu Zhao was going to say, she moved her lips, her voice was dry, "You lost the brooch, And that brooch is the most precious piece in the set."

"It may not be the most precious, but the price is indeed the most expensive." Wu Zhao withdrew his eyes, lowered his head and fiddled with the chain on his wrist, and said in an obscure voice, "With your ingenuity, from my performance just now, I should have guessed what happened, Eliza, I—”

Elizabeth stood up suddenly, her face was pale, she looked at Wu Zhao pleadingly, as if holding on to the last hope, "Georgiana, I'm too stupid to guess! Please, tell me frankly, please? Let me , Let me stop hoping for anything else!"

Wu Zhao slightly turned his head away, and said in a low voice, "Looking at you, I know I've guessed it—it was Lydia who 'took' the brooch."

She only used the word "take" instead of "steal", already taking Elizabeth's face into consideration.

But when Elizabeth really heard the news, she still couldn't bear it. She swayed twice after standing up, and then fell limply on the sofa, almost muttering to herself.

"Yes, I should have guessed it a long time ago. I just don't want to admit it. I should know from the conversation you just had with Collins-you are not a person who likes to show off your jewelry, and you never deliberately mention the value of your jewelry to others , I think you're reminding Lydia - you gave her a chance!"

Elizabeth angrily slapped the cushions on the sofa—which had been Mary's pillows—with suppressed anger in her eyes.

"Don't she know how shameless and outrageous her behavior is! Even if she doesn't evaluate her character and morality, she is stupid!"

The more Elizabeth spoke, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about how terrible the consequences would be, "As long as her crimes are revealed, let alone going to jail, the family, father, mother, and us sisters will not be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. !"

"exactly."

Wu Zhao stretched out his hand to press Elizabeth's shoulders, covering her body above her, and half-forced her to turn her head slowly so that she could look at the people in the yard.

"Look at Jane over there, how happy she is chatting with Charles now." Wu Zhao lightly supported Elizabeth's side of the face, making her look at Jane and Bingley who were whispering sweetly on the path by the door, and then pushed her away She looked at Caroline who was sitting on the swing in the yard, "Look at Caroline's expression, do you think she petitioned to have such a sister-in-law?"

Even on the second floor, Elizabeth could clearly see Caroline's hands clenched on the rope and her disdain when she turned her head to look at Jane from time to time, and her body couldn't help trembling.

"Once the matter of Lydia is revealed, the marriage between Jane and Bingley will fail [-]%-even if Bingley likes Jane, his family will not allow a younger sister to live in London.

It would be a disgrace to all of them if a man from London Gaol married into the Bingleys.Caroline, on the other hand, will definitely play the drums in Bentley's ear-do you think Charles will be a steadfast person? "

"And Mr. and Mrs. Bennett," Wu Zhao pushed Elizabeth's head again, making her look at Mr. Bennett who had just come back from the farm and strode into the house, and surrounded him. Mrs. Bennett who was yelling something, "Do you think they know about this matter, can they still have the peace now? Mr. Bennett will not be able to hold his head up in front of his friends, and Mrs. Bennett will not dare Meet the neighbor's wives again—who knows what those people say in private!"

Elizabeth closed her eyes in pain, tears rolled down her face, and her nose made heavy sobs.She didn't want to look at these anymore, and didn't even dare to think about them, but the reactions of those people afterward came to her mind uncontrollably.

"Who knew that the Bennett family would have such a daughter! I will not dare to let my children associate with them in the future!" Mrs. Lucas, the mother of my friend Maria, would definitely say so.

"Oh, I knew that such a vain child would definitely make an unforgivable mistake!" Mrs. Weiss, who had always disliked the Bennett sisters, would definitely say that because the young man her daughter liked fell in love with Jane. .

"It's a disgrace to us at Longbourn, God knows how many years we've had a criminal here!" Sir William Lucas would have said.

Elizabeth almost imagined everyone's reaction. She found out in despair that once Lydia's behavior was discovered, the Bennett family would face a catastrophe.

"And your other two younger sisters," Wu Zhao's voice awakened her imagination, "When they reach the age of marriage in the future, probably no young man will propose to them."

"Collins, who inherited your property, I think you can see what kind of person he is. He will probably not give you any assistance, but will only condemn you from the moral high ground, and he will be merciless after he gets the property. drive your sisters out."

"Or at some point, probably these things will be used as a talking point at the party held by his benefactor, Aunt Catherine, at Rosings Manor, to show how noble he is. Probably at that time, the elder brother who visited his aunt's house also Will be asked the truth of the matter - what would he say? What would he say with his character?"

Elizabeth fought a cold war.

From Darcy's apology to Jane's illness, after Darcy silently asked the doctor, ordered the kitchen to prepare the patient's light diet, and sent letters to Longbourne for them, Elizabeth felt a little unclear about Darcy. Unknown thoughts—after all, even Bingley, who has been pursuing Jane, has never thought about it so carefully!

Probably because she likes it. Although Elizabeth never dared to admit it, she also thought so when she woke up in the middle of the night.

As soon as the matter of Lydia came out, she couldn't even think about it!What would Darcy look like?she can almost

Guess the disgust on Darcy's face!

There is nothing more heart-rending than making a girl look bad in front of her admirers and the people she admires.

Elizabeth buried her face in her palms and wept silently.

And Wu Zhao smiled slightly at the same time - it seems that Lang Youqing's concubine is interested, so the matter is not difficult.

"These are all imaginary consequences. If I say, I am not willing to report this matter?" Wu Zhao said softly.

Although the voice was soft, in Elizabeth's eyes, it was nothing more than a thunderbolt!

She looked up, her face still wet with tears, and asked cautiously, with a mixture of joy and misgiving, "Georgiana, you mean, would you like to leave it alone?"

Wu Zhao shook her head slowly, Elizabeth's face darkened immediately, and she smiled wryly, "That's right, what position do I have for you not to pursue it?"

"Of course I want to investigate, but pursuing does not mean reporting." Wu Zhao tilted his head slightly, Sarah understood, and hurried up to hand Elizabeth a handkerchief, Wu Zhao signaled, "Wipe the tears on my face, my eyes are swollen That's it - Lydia must be taught a lesson, you should also agree with this statement, right?"

Elizabeth took the veil and wiped it carelessly, then nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I agree. Lydia is really too bold."

"But then again, the only way to learn the lesson is to go to jail," Wu Zhao said with a smile, "I have an idea, but I need your cooperation."

"What?" Elizabeth asked impatiently, she was completely led by Wu Zhao.But yes, no matter how smart and intelligent she is, she is still a girl in her twenties, how could she possibly beat His Majesty the Emperor Wu!

"Let her stay with me for a while." Wu Zhao smiled and said his original plan, "Leave doting parents and the familiar environment, and go to a complete stranger, and that person still holds his own 'creditor', Lydia will change."

Elizabeth looked hesitant and puzzled.

The author has something to say: The emperor's intentions have been revealed, and next is Lydia's hell mode!
