"Ouch!"

Wu Zhao heard Vince's cry of pain outside, and couldn't help laughing again, but Qing Niang held back her laughter and pulled her cloak, signaling Wu Zhao to back off a little.

"Listen to the sound, the Earl and Mr. Darcy are coming, don't you make room for them?" Qing Niang reminded in a low voice, "If they come, it's better to go to the next room. I think Miss Elizabeth doesn't want to see them both bit."

Wu Zhao shook her head slightly, rejecting Qingniang's proposal. Elizabeth's face must be taken into account, but she can't just hide it. The best way is to let her face up to this matter. If she has a calm mind, it won't be a problem .Otherwise, there will always be this knot between her and Darcy, and Elizabeth is even more unwilling to see Darcy.

Wu Zhao only took two steps back, considerately not to disturb Elizabeth, who had been meditating since the Lydia deal, turned around and stood by the window.

After a while, there was a knock on the wooden door, and Darcy asked politely outside.

"Gina," he paused, and then mentioned Elizabeth, "and Miss Elizabeth, is it convenient for us to go in now?"

Qing Niang hurriedly looked at Wu Zhao, and seeing Wu Zhao nodding her head in agreement, she raised her voice and said with a smile: "You two, please come in."

The wooden door opened slightly, and Darcy and Stuart entered from the corridor.Vince, who had just had a hippie smile, quickly suppressed his smile, watched the two go in, then closed the door silently, stood on one side, and looked around vigilantly.

After Stuart came in, the first thing he saw was Wu Zhao's slender figure standing by the window. He couldn't help but took two steps towards Wu Zhao, but Darcy stopped him with a soft cough, "Cough, Miss Elizabeth— —Do you have any other plans?"

Elizabeth, however, seemed not to have heard it, she lowered her head in thought, her hands unconsciously pinching the hem of the skirt tightly.

Hearing this, Wu Zhao also turned around to look at Elizabeth, but first saw Stuart standing in the center of the room.She smiled and unexpectedly waved to Stuart.

Stuart took two quick steps. Hearing the voices of Qing Niang and Sarah giggling quietly by the wall, he hurriedly slowed down, brushed off the dust from the hem of his jacket as if nothing had happened, and walked to Wu Zhao's side calmly. .

"Do you have anything to say to me, Gina?" Stuart stood behind Wu Zhao's side, and by coincidence, he hugged Wu Zhao's body.

"That's strange. You've been called by such an intimate nickname. Why do you still use your honorific name?" Wu Zhao brushed her drooping hair and looked at Stutt with a half-smile. She didn't know what Stutt was. What experience did he have with Darcy upstairs, and the address to himself suddenly became so intimate.

"Then no honorifics—you, Gina, do you have anything to say?" Stuart followed suit, anyway, it was impossible for him to call him by an unfamiliar name.

Wu Zhao smiled, knowing that there was nothing to ask in front of Darcy and Elizabeth at this time, so she simply didn't go into it, and then continued: "It's nothing, I just want to ask your opinion—what do you think about Lydia's matter? , how is the best answer?"

she speaks

The voice was deliberately raised, waking Elizabeth who was in deep thought.

After Elizabeth figured out that Wu Zhao was asking Stuart, she couldn't help casting her hopeful eyes on this man.After all, Stuart is the Earl with the most noble status and subconsciously respected by everyone present, and he also has rich experience in dealing with things.

Darcy felt a little sour in his heart. He was only willing to admit that it was because Wu Zhao didn't ask his brother's opinion first, but asked Stuart, so he was a little sour. He absolutely refused to admit that he had seen it too. Elizabeth was jealous of such trusting eyes.

Stuart didn't look at Elizabeth and Darcy, and only thought he was answering Wu Zhao's question, "Darcy mentioned to me that you plan to take Lydia by your side to teach, this is Gina, your heart Goodness, I think it's a good idea."

"What if it was you?" Wu Zhao asked.

Elizabeth also stared at Stuart closely.

"If it were me?" Stuart smiled coldly, "Then there would probably be no more fussing today, and Miss Lydia would have spent the rest of her life in prison as soon as she found out. "

Elizabeth shivered, and it was only at this time that she really woke up. She couldn't help but said, "So, I didn't hear wrong just now, it was Lydia who really sold that brooch?"

Tears welled up in her big beautiful eyes, and although she believed it, she couldn't help but look for an affirmative answer.

Darcy looked at her, sighed, and replied for Wu Zhao: "Yes. I received the news the day before yesterday that my sister asked someone to find a jeweler, so I knew she had this plan. With the help of the count, We distracted the original jeweler Vince on the way, and his subordinates pretended to carry out today's transaction."

Elizabeth lowered her head again, with unconcealable disappointment and loss in her voice, "I see... Lydia still hasn't seized the last chance."

There was an unspeakable silence in the room.

Elizabeth quickly regained her spirits, and her cheerful disposition played a great role at this time, making the disappointed girl look firm.

She got up, walked to Wu Zhao and bowed deeply, and then said earnestly: "Georgiana, I am really sorry, and I am very grateful for your tolerance—please take Lydia away, no matter what you plan to do Teach her, please let her change this short-sighted, vain and arrogant personality, if it doesn't work, if it doesn't work..."

Elizabeth paused for a moment, and then said firmly: "If you think she is really unrepentant and hopeless, then she is not worthy of your mercy-please tell my father the truth about this matter, I would rather stay with her forever Get married, and never let Lydia go wrong again!"

Wu Zhao smiled slowly, she nodded and readily agreed, "I'd like to help you with this favor—Eliza, I'm also very glad that you didn't blindly protect your family and forget about right and wrong."

There was a blush on Elizabeth's pale face, she lowered her head in embarrassment, then seemed to remember something, suddenly raised her head to look at Wu Zhao, anxiously

She said earnestly: "One more thing! Georgiana, please don't take Lydia with you yourself, let your housekeeper wife or some other older woman discipline—"

Behind, Darcy couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise.

"I don't mean that I don't trust you," Elizabeth quickly explained, "I don't trust Lydia. To be honest, I have been her sister for more than ten years. I know that her character was not formed overnight. , The success of the transformation is by no means a one-day effort.”

"However, you are still a young lady! If there is such a person around you all the time, what if it will affect you?" Elizabeth really regarded Wu Zhao as her best friend, sincerely Thinking of her, "I can't imagine the consequences - that would be terrible!"

Darcy was taken aback when he heard that, Elizabeth's thoughts coincided with his own?He took a deep look at Elizabeth's back, let out a breath silently, and his heart beat violently.

Elizabeth didn't know anything, and was still anxiously waiting for Wu Zhao's response.

But Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing. She raised her head and motioned Elizabeth to look at Darcy behind her, and laughed repeatedly: "This is the same as what my brother said that day! Do you have a good understanding?"

Elizabeth blushed instantly, and she glanced back at Darcy.Darcy bowed slightly in response, and Elizabeth straightened herself up quickly, curtseying.

The smile on Wu Zhao's face never faded, and he comforted Elizabeth and said, "There won't be any problems as you imagined—haven't you been with Lydia for more than ten years? Are you still upright and kind? It can be seen that as long as you are firm in your heart, yes won't be affected."

Seeing that Darcy still had a disapproving look on her face, Elizabeth was not persuaded, she opened her mouth to say something more, and quickly raised her hand to signal: "But I will pay attention not to be influenced by her—let Mrs. Reynolds stay with me How about it? That way, even if there is something, she will definitely remind her. And Qingniang and Sara, they will also pay attention."

Darcy and Elizabeth nodded hesitantly—they actually moved in sync with each other tacitly.

"Together?" Wu Zhao smiled brighter. She pushed Elizabeth's shoulders, pushed her towards Darcy, and said, "Okay, I've been out for a long time, and I don't know what reason my brother let me You came out, but why don't you go back? It's been too long, and I'm afraid Mrs. Bennet will ask."

Elizabeth let her push her, and involuntarily took two steps towards Darcy. Seeing that she was only two or three steps away from Darcy, Elizabeth stopped quickly. In order to hide the flush on her face, she lowered her head slightly and whispered Said: "It means to pick me up to attend the dance in Meryton - now the dance is about to start, don't send me back, mother will be surprised when I go back."

She glanced back at Wu Zhao, then mustered up the courage to look at Darcy, and begged in a low voice, "Can you take me to the church door—I know it's very close, but I'll walk there by myself in case I meet any friends who come over, I'm afraid it will be revealed."

Of course Wu Zhao didn't object, she patted Elizabeth on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother will take you there—isn't that right, brother?"

? ”

It was rare for Darcy to have no objection. He just grabbed his hat and said softly, "I'll take you there—Miss Elizabeth."

Elizabeth nodded quickly, grabbed her coat in a hurry, and followed Darcy to the door, paused at the door, looked back at Wu Zhao, and repeated: "Thank you so much, Georgiana."

Wu Zhao smiled and waved to her, "No need - just pretend you don't know anything, and my brother and I will take care of the rest."

Elizabeth bit her lip, bowed deeply, and then followed Darcy into the carriage parked on the street and gradually drove towards the church two streets away.

Wu Zhao looked at the carriage going away from the window, and turned around until he could no longer see the carriage at the corner of the street. He didn't want to bump into Stuart's thick chest as soon as he turned his head.

Wu Zhao was taken aback.

Stuart followed up and said in a low voice: "Shouldn't I be responsible for solving this matter? Did Gina forget to mention me?"

Wu Zhao didn't hide or flinch, but smiled and touched his chest and shoulders twice, and replied naturally: "It's not that you want to pursue Eliza——I know your credit, so why not?" Is that enough?"

On the contrary, Stuart's breath was tightened by the teasing. He raised his hand to hold Wu Zhao's slender hand, and laughed sullenly, "You are right. Naturally, if you pursue someone, you will show your ability in front of him."

"Then it's over?" Wu Zhao shrugged, and then pushed Stuart away, "Okay, I'm going to see Lydia, at least I have to get her done before the ball, otherwise she won't show up at the ball. Kem will be surprised."

Stuart took two steps back, and rubbed his hands hanging by his sides, as if he could still feel the slippery touch, "Please - your words made me change my mind, I think, it should be me You should show your sincerity instead of letting Fitz do it for you—after you come back, I have some good news for you.”

Wu Zhao glanced at him in surprise, thoughtfully, presumably the news that he was about to learn was the reason for the strange atmosphere between Stuart and Darcy just now.

She was not in a hurry, she smiled, raised her legs and walked out the door, but as she walked, she lightly wiped Stuart's half-clenched hand as if casually.

Stuart froze for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he heard Wu Zhao's laughing voice outside the door ordering Kos, who was guarding the door, "Open the door and let me meet this bold Miss Lydia."

The author has something to say: chest kill!Is there a chest kill?Hee hee, none of my favorite places!
