Although it was not too late after returning to Netherfield, everyone decided to separate and did not go to the reception room to gather again.

After Wu Zhao and Darcy talked in the car, they each had their own thoughts and wanted to think about it quietly.

Wu Zhao guessed Stuart's true identity, especially knowing that his position and weight were beyond his imagination, and he was a little uncertain whether to contact him for a while, and he seemed out of his mind.

But Darcy suddenly found out about Lydia, and was very annoyed. He was half-forced by Wu Zhao to confess his feelings for Elizabeth, and felt awkward.He was entangled in Wu Zhao's plan again, anxious to avoid Wu Zhao and Stuart to find out the truth.

The two brothers and sisters hurriedly parted ways as soon as they got off the carriage, and Qing Niang and Sara naturally followed Wu Zhao back.

The Bentley brothers and sisters who were a little behind also said that they would have a good rest tonight.

Bingley said with a smile: "The reception at Bennett's house is very good today, and Jane is also very good. We have been out for a day, and we really should have a good rest."

Caroline raised her chin high, complained about the hospitality of the Bennett family, and said mercilessly that her brother's thoughts were all on the eldest lady of the Bennett family and did not notice Bennett at all. How crude the hospitality at home is, "Look at those meals! I have never seen such stale meat served to guests! And that Elizabeth, who didn't smile at all throughout the evening, was expressing her disapproval." Are we welcome?"

It's a pity that Bingley was still immersed in his affection for Jane and ignored her at all.Wu Zhao even put on the cloak directly, and helped Qingniang walk a long way without saying a word.

And Darcy, who she really wanted to complain to him, already knew the inside story of Elizabeth's bad mood, and only followed the unhappy part. She seemed even more calm and didn't respond to her complaints. Instead, he turned around and hurried into the inner hall with a few servants.

Caroline was so angry that her face was livid, feeling deeply that she was being ignored, she glared fiercely at the personal maid who came to greet her in a rage, and said angrily: "You came so late, do you want to freeze me to death! "

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the maid to come up and put on his coat, and left in a huff, leaving the maid standing there puzzled and spit in his heart, Miss Bingley is so uncertain, not as good as Bennett. The two young ladies from the special family are so kind!

The hall in Netherfield was lively for a short while, and soon after the crowd dispersed, it became quiet again.

Darcy went to his room first, and handed the coat to the male servant. In this posture, he became stunned, stood there for a while, and suddenly turned around a few times, saying to himself: "I have to Find out what's going on!"

He was always vigorous and decisive, and almost as soon as he spoke, he tore off the coat on the shelf and put it on his shoulders. He didn't take the doorman with him, and hurried to Stuart's apartment on the third floor.

It's just that when passing through Wu Zhao's gate, he deliberately lightened his steps, and heard that there was no movement inside, so he felt relieved-it seemed that even if Gina knew about Stu

Te's true identity is not sad after being deceived.

As he raised his hand and knocked on Stutt's door, he lowered his head in thought and felt that he seemed to have made a mistake, "Maybe I was too anxious, Gina is not as I imagined, and she has a deep root for Stutt." Seed. Maybe it's just the beginning of this..."

He thought about the usual behavior of Stuart and Wu Zhao, and he felt that something was wrong. How could it be...

Before he could come up with a clue, he saw the copper doorknob in front of him slightly twist, and when he looked up again, the door had already opened.

The one who opened the door was naturally not Stutt himself, but a manservant in livery who looked to be in his twenties, not the people that Stutt usually came close to.

The servant was also a little surprised when he saw Darcy. No servant had received a letter from Mr. Darcy before saying that he would come to visit, so why did he come here?

But Darcy has a good relationship with his master, the servant still put on a smile and said respectfully: "Sir, are you here to see His Excellency the Earl? He is still in the study, please wait in the reception room."

As Darcy stepped into the suite, he replied with a cold face: "No - I'll meet him in the study, I have something to talk about."

The male servant quickly stepped forward and bowed, and hurriedly replied: "I will report to the Earl."

The study is at the innermost side of the suite. After entering the door of the suite, one has to pass through the reception room and a corridor, and the end is the study.

Darcy slowed down his pace, and when he got to the door of the study, he saw that there was already a personal servant waiting silently at the door, and he didn't intervene when he got close, he just bowed and opened the door, beckoning Darcy to come in.

As soon as the door of the study room was opened, there was a desk that was as wide as two meters long in the center, and Stuart handled his daily affairs on this desk.Usually, as soon as the door was opened, he could be seen busy at the desk, but today when Darcy entered, he saw that the desk was empty and there was no one there.

He frowned and glanced left and right, but saw that Stuart was sitting on the sofa near the fireplace, holding a small wooden box and searching for something.

"What are you doing, Stuart?" Darcy's brows didn't stretch when he saw Stuart, and he asked as he walked towards Stuart, "Come back from Colonel Foster, you Are you in a hurry to do these things without going to Longbourn?"

"It's not really looking for anything, just counting how much cash I have in my hand." Stuart had finished counting, put the box on the coffee table, and smiled freely, "If you don't have enough cash, I'm afraid it's going to be a joke—up to now, I haven't experienced a time when I was troubled by not having enough money."

Only now did Darcy see clearly that it was the Russian iron wooden box that Stuart often carried around. It was made of a material harder than the current steel, and the most convenient thing was that it was lighter and easier to carry.Stuart always used it to carry cash with him when he was away from home.

When he sat down, he looked up, and he saw that there were golden gold coins with the queen's head on the bottom of the box, but the common silver coins became a minority.But the most valuable thing is the small pieces of paper scattered on it, which are national bonds and coupons-anonymous, and the holders can pay the bank at any time.

Withdraw cash or credit to other bank accounts.

This is not a small sum of money. Darcy was full of doubts and couldn't help asking: "Is there anything to use the money--no, no, that's not enough for you to spend so much money. How much money does it take?" Ten thousand pounds."

"Thirty thousand pounds." Stuart shrugged and gestured. "The coupon is 60 francs, and there are some national debts, about [-] pounds-it will only be more, and there are some I haven't counted yet."

Stuart smiled, and simply pushed the box hard in front of Darcy. The iron-wood box was not heavy, but was polished and smooth, and immediately slid to Darcy's face along with Stuart's strength.

"I don't know what you want so much money for." Darcy refused to take it. He glanced at Stuart suspiciously, then let out a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "It's for buying Wickham." Life? Then it doesn’t take so much, in this situation, as long as two thousand pounds is enough—Foster is greedy and cowardly, so he won’t notice.”

"And, did Gina ask you to do this? You don't need to intervene, this matter is my responsibility." Darcy felt sour in his heart, and deliberately emphasized, "I will protect Gina. I am Her own brother, we have the same father and mother."

"You don't need to emphasize this." Stuart laughed and shook his head. "I won't argue with you, anyway, I don't want to be Georgiana's brother—you should know, I want to marry her and marry her."

Darcy didn't come up in one breath, his face was flushed, he looked at the brash Stuart almost in disbelief, and all his thoughts just now went to the sky.No matter how much he guessed that Stuart was interested in Wu Zhao, Darcy never expected that he would be so shameless and say it so bluntly in front of his brother.

He glared at Stuart angrily, seeing that he was calm, he shouted angrily: "What are you talking about, you, you are shameless - Gina is six years younger than you, and she just came of age this year! "

Darcy is well-bred, and rarely wants to swear, and usually only has a few venomous words.At this moment, he regretted his upbringing extremely - at this time, he wanted to say all kinds of dirty words, and when he got angry, he only threw out a "shameless"?

He was so angry that his face turned red, and he was even more angry when he saw Stuart's nonchalant appearance. He turned left and right and couldn't find a suitable thing to throw in the past.

"Miss Elizabeth is 21 years old this year, and you are already 28 years old-you will lose face!"

Fortunately, Stuart was less swearing than him, and a word of "shameless" was already lethal enough, and he immediately retaliated with the same words.

Darcy was at a loss for words for a while, and it took a long time to reply: "Gina told you this too? You have already communicated with each other to such an extent that she is willing to tell you even this."

Stuart quickly shook his head in denial, "It has nothing to do with Georgiana. It's you, don't make it too obvious!"

Both fell silent, each wryly smiling.

Stuart was thinking that at any rate Darcy saw that both of them had intentions, and only missed a layer of window paper.

Darcy was annoyed that he made Stuart and Wu Zhao get along so well without knowing it

, but he didn't want to admit that his love for Elizabeth had reached the point where others could see it at a glance.

It was quiet in the room, but there was a knock on the door of the study, which was particularly obvious in the quiet study.

Stuart paused, and raised his voice, "Come in!"

There was a soft knock on the door, and soon, the two of them saw clearly who was coming—— Stuart's confidant, Kos.

Stuart couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Cos was sent to deal with Wickham's affairs. When he came back today, it seemed that it had already been done.

Sure enough, Kos bowed respectfully after coming in, and said back: "Count, what you ordered has been done. We only need to wait for two days before we can do it."

Stuart saw him glance at Darcy, knowing that he didn't dare to tell Darcy when he was there, but there was no need to hide this from Darcy, so he simply waved his hand and said: "Tell me carefully——Fitz also knows .”

Kos breathed a sigh of relief, as if he didn't see Mr. Darcy's puzzled eyes - anyway, he only obeyed his master's orders, and since Stuart told Darcy that he knew, it had nothing to do with him whether Darcy knew or not.

"Yes, it has been found out that Wickham has been here for a total of ten days, and he has already owed gambling debts, prostitution, alcohol debts, about nine hundred pounds, and jewelry bought at the store to please the girls. The clothes and jewelry bought by myself are all on credit, and these add up to more than a thousand pounds."

"Someone has been arranged to collect debts. Wickham has been hiding in the barracks for the past few days and dare not come out. The harder the pressure outside, the less he dares to move."

"I asked someone to release the news, saying that the people in the gambling house have contacted Colonel Foster and will go to the barracks to look for him in the next few days. He should be hiding in the next few days, and he will probably go back to the tavern or something like that. .He has already been guarded, and as soon as he goes, someone will buy him a drink."

Coase was very organized, but in just a few paragraphs, he had already explained the plan of the matter clearly - he also saw that Darcy did not know the details, so he deliberately explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Sure enough, Stuart nodded appreciatively, took a few silver coins from the box and threw them to him, "Reward you for doing a good job, take it and share with them. After the work is done, I will invite you to drink-- go down Bar."

Kos bowed repeatedly to express his thanks, and happily retreated out clutching the few silver coins, but his steps were much lighter than when he came.

Then Stuart looked at Darcy, and said with a half-smile on his face: "Two years ago, you refused to finish the matter. After two years, you still want me to take action to end this matter? You shouldn't let it go at the beginning." He still has to spend a lot of trouble now-it's not easy to get rid of a person in the army."

Darcy turned his neck uncomfortably, and knew that he couldn't do it at the beginning, so he still has to worry about it today, but this does not mean that he is willing to show weakness in front of this person who covets his sister.

"The army in other places is fine, but Foster is greedy for money and cowardly, so it is not difficult to start with him." Darcy said stiffly.

But he himself knew that it was pure luck, and if he changed the chief officer, things might not end so well.It's not that it can't be done, it's just that it must be done

Tutt showed up with a business card—Darcy knew that he had no face in the army, and no matter how long his hand was, he couldn't reach it—but Stutt was different, he was originally from a military family, but he really wanted to do this Yes, there are a lot of things involved in it.

Darcy felt a little guilty, moved the box in front of him as a cover-up, and interrupted: "What are you going to do with so much money? Listen to what you said just now, isn't Wickham's matter settled?"

Stuart could see Darcy's guilty conscience at a glance, but it was different now, he was still interested in his sister, so naturally he couldn't go after the bottom line, so he simply followed suit and said, "For you—don't look at me like that , not a dowry."

Darcy gave him a sharp look at once.

"It's the principal of the business. I know you spent about [-] pounds. This is half of mine. You take it first. It is the principal that I should have paid."

Darcy's vicious eyes did not ease at all, and the anger was still in his mouth, "No need! Your face is enough for sixty thousand pounds!"

After thinking about it, he was still not angry, and couldn't help but said, "I think your face is worth another sixty thousand pounds from Georgiana!"

"It's just a face!" Darcy felt as if he was praising Stuart when he spoke, and quickly added this sentence.

Stuart yelled at Darcy, and felt that the depression in his heart came out better, but when he heard Darcy's words, he immediately remembered Wu Zhao's erratic attitude, couldn't help touching his face, and whispered: " I thought about it, but it’s a pity how did that sentence come from——falling flowers have feelings, flowing water has no meaning.”

"Georgiana is too difficult to coax! It's not just flowing water, her mind is as mysterious as the sea. If only my face could be worth sixty thousand pounds in her heart... "

Although the voice was low, it was related to Wu Zhao. Darcy was very keen and could hear it clearly, but he thought about it after turning a corner, not to mention that he had doubts in the first place—it was different from what he thought when he just came in. Coincidentally!

"Hahaha!" Darcy almost looked up to the sky with a long smile, his face immediately lit up, and his tone became gloating, "So it's your unrequited love for Gina!"
