When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

The only hotel in the town of Meryton was not big. Adding up and down, including the rooms of the owner and his wife, there were only four rooms in total.And it was dusty and messy.

Compared with the place where ordinary country gentlemen live, it is very simple, let alone compared with the luxury apartments in London.

But this also has an advantage. The partitioned door is so thin that if there is any movement in the room, it can be heard in the corridor. It is convenient for Wu Zhao who is standing at the door of the room where Lydia is being held.

"Open the door." Wu Zhao listened to the sound of beating things coming from the room from time to time, sometimes accompanied by Lydia's shouting, and smiled faintly, motioning for Kos to open the door, "Let me see what it means to not repent."

Cos hesitated for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether to let Wu Zhao go in by himself.While hesitating, he looked over Wu Zhao's shoulder and saw Stuart coming out from the next door.

Stuart nodded silently.

Only then did Kos breathe a sigh of relief—at least in this way, he would not be blamed for any disputes inside.

He quickly bent over and pushed open the wooden door, and reminded in a low voice: "Lydia has been tied up, you must be careful, it's best not to open the rope - Vincent and I will stand guard outside the door, If there is anything, you can rush in as soon as you call."

Wu Zhao nodded, then picked up the skirt and stepped in.Kos followed behind and closed the door, straightened up, tensed his face, and walked around vigilantly.

Inside the house, Lydia was originally tied to an old chair by the hemp rope that Stuart's men got from nowhere.Because she was struggling desperately unwillingly, the chair could no longer withstand her movements, and it was twisted and crooked.

When Wu Zhao came in, Lydia was on her toes, trying to kick the only teapot off the table—the ground was already covered with broken porcelain.It seems that the teacup and saucer matching this teapot are already "dead without a whole body".

Lydia's back was facing the door. When she heard someone coming in, she hurriedly tried to control the chair and turned around, and shouted angrily: "You want to steal the brooch, don't you! You think I can easily take it away if you tie it up Do you keep the brooch for yourself? Let me tell you, it's impossible!"

"I told Wicky when I came. If he finds out that I haven't returned, he will definitely come and look for it—he's an officer!"

Lydia tries to scare "Vince" who comes in.

She brought out Wickham's identity, intending to warn "Vince" so that she could get away, "against the garrison—do you, a jeweler, still want to run out of Meryton alone!"

"It seems that you still don't understand what's going on." Wu Zhao slowly turned from behind Lydia and said calmly, "I'm not a jeweler."

Lydia's body froze visibly, she was speechless, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak a word, she couldn't believe that she could see Wu Zhao here!See the person she least wants to see!

"Miss Lydia, why are you silent?" Wu Zhao walked across to Lydia and glanced at the only chair left with disgust.

Son, simply stood in front of the table.

She raised her chin slightly, never lowered her head, and lowered her eyelids, and glanced down from under her eyelids, but Lydia was so frightened by her eyes that she shivered.

"I, I, I don't know what you mean..." It took Lydia a long time to squeeze out such a sentence, and the expression on her face showed a guilty conscience when she spoke, she insisted, "I don't know Why did you appear here? Could it be that you collude with that bastard who lied to me..."

Obviously it should be a questioning tone, but when it comes out of Lydia's mouth, it is extremely guilty and short of breath.What's more, when she was talking, she turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Wu Zhao, her eyes kept moving from side to side.

"Heh!" Wu Zhao sneered, "Before you ask me if I'm in collusion with a jeweler, you shouldn't ask yourself who owns that brooch you're selling?"

"Of course it is from my family!" Lydia clenched her fists with cold sweat on her hands, and made up her mind that as long as she didn't let go, Wu Zhao had no evidence to prove that the brooch belonged to the Darcy family.

"Really?" Wu Zhao smiled slowly, "Then you shouldn't explain why your family's 'ancestral' brooch is engraved with Darcy's surname, as well as my mother's and my name?"

Lydia's whole body was soaked in sweat, she couldn't help tilting her head to wipe off the cold sweat streaming down her cheeks on her shoulders, and stammered, "That, that, that's because..."

But what Wu Zhao said was solidly proven, and she really couldn't find any reason to cover it up, so she could only think of a reason desperately, while dragging her voice to try to delay the time.

"Okay, you don't have to rack your brains anymore." Wu Zhao saw through her intentions, and interrupted simply, "Although the brooch was inherited from the Darcy family, I only changed it last year."

"The flower branch of the iris is inlaid with a strange-shaped pearl that came by chance - the jeweler's transaction contract, the craftsman's creation contract, and the designer's drawing are all there."

As Wu Zhao said, he walked slowly in front of Lydia, and seemed to fondly lift up a lock of sweat-soaked hair on her forehead, her tone was soft, not like the owner, but like a close friend, "Everyone I can show you all the proofs—would you like to see it?"

Lydia felt that Wu Zhao's voice was like honey mixed with poison, and the hand that stretched out was as terrifying as a poisonous snake.She shrank back timidly, swallowed, and closed her eyes in despair, "Yes—I admit it, I took your brooch!"

"Perhaps, you should use the word 'steal' to be more accurate." Wu Zhao smiled with satisfaction, straightened up, clapped her hands easily, and said with a smile: "Isn't it better to admit it earlier? Save me the trouble—you should Interesting ones, knowing that all the nets have been set up to catch you, what are you still arguing about?"

Lydia didn't want to open her eyes, as if she could hide from the situation.

Wu Zhao didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

However, Lydia was still young and couldn't hold her breath. After holding back for a long time, she finally couldn't help opening her eyes and asked nervously, "You, no, Miss Darcy, you, what do you want to do with me?"

She finally knows the fear

, There was a bit of awe involuntarily in the words.

Wu Zhao secretly smiled inwardly, but his face remained unchanged. He didn't answer Lydia's question directly, but deliberately played it off from the side.

"You sold that brooch for [-] pounds. I assume you know what kind of figure it is - even the Bennett family's annual income is not that much. If it were an ordinary farmer This will be a huge sum of money that they will never see in their lifetime."

"Before in London, there was a girl who was about your age. She also had a bad idea, but she was not as courageous as you. She just stole a pair of shoes." Wu Zhao said slowly, saying , while secretly looking at Lydia's expression.

Sure enough, seeing that she was attracted, he couldn't help but listen attentively.

Wu Zhao's goal was achieved, she smiled, and then said: "It's just a pair of shoes that may be worth less than a shilling, and that girl was sentenced to ten months - ten months, she will be in prison She lived in the coldest, darkest, and most humid prison, and no one would visit her. Because she had disgraced her family, she had to endure the eyes of everyone, beatings and scolding by the guards, naked clothes, and no food to eat. ..."

Lydia was fascinated by what she heard, and couldn't help thinking about it on her body. Hearing this, she shrank in fright, and her hands and feet kept shaking.

"It's only one shilling," Wu Zhao looked at Lydia with a smile, and asked intentionally, "Then you said, you stole a brooch worth [-] pounds - what will happen to you?"

"Will you be thrown into the Tower of London, where you will see the sun all year round, and listen to the wailing of nearby prisoners every day. Maybe in order to make you honest, you will be tortured—"witch's chair", have you heard of it?"

Lydia shook her head quickly, and her voice was already crying, "No, I haven't heard of it..."

"It's an iron chair. The armrests, backrest, and seat surface of the chair are covered with sharp iron nails. They will also heat the chair. When the time comes, the people tied to it will look like this!"

As Wu Zhao said, he unexpectedly pressed Lydia's shoulder!

The chair had been tossed and crooked by Lydia for a long time, Wu Zhao made a sudden movement, the chair was overwhelmed and made a crackling sound, Lydia only felt a tightness and pain in her shoulders, followed by the chair suddenly Fragmented, she fell to the ground accompanied by the scattered chairs!

Lydia cried out in terror!

Wu Zhao was unmoved, the incident that frightened Lydia was not even worth blinking for her, so she said unhurriedly: "The people on the chair are all pressed into the iron nails. , and a heated brazier, the skin and flesh will soon be scorched, and there is a scorched smell everywhere..."

Lydia was even more frightened. She twisted her body desperately to escape from the rope that bound her, as if she had already felt the hot iron nails burning her skin.

The cloak on her body was scattered, together with the ripped skirt that had just been crushed by the male servants, mixed with the struggle, the dust that hadn't been cleaned in years was rolled on the hotel floor, she was in a terrible mess up.

Wu Zhao watched the farce in front of him indifferently, until Lydia finally

Yu gave up, collapsed on the ground, and the crying of the collapse gradually slowed down, before he said: "But I won't do that."

Lydia paused, and the sound of struggling and crying slowly stopped.

"For the sake of my good relationship with your sister, and for the sake of not embarrassing your family, I will not do that." Wu Zhao repeated, "I will not call the police, make an announcement, or arrest you. Throw it in jail."

Lydia slowly raised her head to look at Wu Zhao, with hope and disbelief in her eyes, she asked cautiously, "Aren't you going to pursue me?"

"Do not."

Wu Zhao's unexpected answer slowly extinguished the hope in Lydia's eyes.

"I won't call the police, but it doesn't mean that I won't pursue it at all-I want you to be with me, and someone will watch you closely."

"But, but what's the use of me being by your side?" Lydia was puzzled. She raised her ashen face, which was washed with tears and "gullies", which looked very funny. , extremely embarrassed.

"Don't think that I want you to be a young lady to enjoy." Wu Zhao smiled inexplicably, "Be my maid, you can do whatever the maid does—someone will tell you what to do and what not to do. You deserve a lesson."

This should have been an unacceptable thing, but after Wu Zhao's terrifying description just now, Lydia actually felt that being a maid was not so uncomfortable.

"Go to prison, and be my maid—choose one." Wu Zhao reminded at the right time.

"Be your maid! I choose to be your maid!" Lydia made a choice almost immediately, for fear that Wu Zhao would change her mind and throw her into the Tower of London.

In fact, entering the Tower of London was just Wu Zhao deceiving her.The Tower of London is dark and terrifying, but not everyone can enter.

Who was imprisoned inside?

Queen Anne of Peter II, current Queen Elizabeth I when her father was still on the throne...

They were all prisoners with prominent identities or serious threats to the country. How could Lydia, a little thief, be imprisoned in the Tower of London!

But the reputation of the Tower of London is too loud, so Wu Zhao simply borrowed it.

Moreover, it seems to be working well——Didn't Lydia immediately agree to be a maid?

Wu Zhao nodded in satisfaction, took two steps back, looked down at Lydia, and said proudly: "After that, follow me to London. Someone will give them a reasonable explanation for the Bennetts." .”

"If you don't want to go to jail, you should know how to cover it up, right?" Wu Zhao said in a calm voice, "Someone will change you into new clothes later—go to the dance tonight. Your parents are skeptical, and there is an 'officer' who should wait."

Lydia trembled violently, her eyes widened in surprise, never expecting that Wu Zhao even knew Wickham's existence so clearly.

"Just to remind you, Wickham is not a good person." Wu Zhao said with a faint smile, "Since you are my maid, I don't mind saying one more thing—this is a villain who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and does all kinds of evil. Tomorrow , you should see how many people come to ask him for debts."

After Wu Zhao finished speaking, no matter how surprised and angry Lydia was, she turned around and opened the door neatly, and strode out.

Seeing Stuart standing against the light head-on, smiling at him, Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said intentionally, "Why, Your Excellency the Earl flinched when he saw my vicious look?"

"How come?" Stuart laughed, "It's so majestic! Gina, you fascinate me even more."
