The news of the defeat in the war kept coming, and the atmosphere in London was tense. Gradually, many carriages carried the nobles and wealthy gentry who had taken refuge in a hurry to leave quietly.

But for the tension of the war, it is more about the affairs of these nobles and gentlemen. The common people in London can't take care of these for a while-they haven't even stocked up their winter rations yet!I can't even take care of my eyes, how can I still think about the war that is so far away from me?

What's more, these few days are rare good weather. The poor people who originally hid at home to escape the cold have tried to take a step forward, trying to find something to eat. There are many rich people who have evacuated from London, and it is impossible for every family to support them. With dozens of servants in a hurry to leave, there will naturally be families with insufficient manpower.This can make the poor people who have no work to do in winter rejoice, and finally they will not have no money to buy food!

The neighbor of Lord Chris's house, a wealthy businessman who has just made a fortune, has hired many temporary servants, and is hurriedly packing the luggage to be taken away.

It was just past noon at this time, and the sunlight outside the window was just right, casting warmth on the person, making him extremely comfortable.The servants outside moved quickly, obviously wanting to finish their work while it was still warm.

But the atmosphere in the reception room of Lord Chris's mansion was not so good.

Mrs. Chris's originally grateful face was cracked. Even though she knew that she was only facing a 16-year-old girl, under Wu Zhao's gaze, she straightened her back involuntarily, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone. An imperceptible tremor.

"Miss Darcy, why did you ask this?" Mrs. Chris tried her best to look more majestic. However, she has a gentle temper and is not used to putting on airs for so many years. At this time, it has little effect, " Yasha is my child, I raised her with my own hands, her biological mother abandoned her back then, even if she is found, she will not be recognized by the law!"

"Yes, ma'am, there is no doubt about that."

Wu Zhao quickly comforted her. She relaxed her voice and tried to make herself as approachable as possible, so as not to touch this mother who was desperately trying to protect her child.

"The thing is like this..." Wu Zhao thought for a while, and concealed his guess about the relationship between Yasha and Sirels. If he said it directly, the lady would not have to jump up on the spot and take Yasha to flee to anyone. Can't find a place to go!Don't underestimate a mother who protects her cubs, she can do anything.

Since he couldn't tell the reason why he discovered it, Wu Zhao rolled his eyes and decided immediately to sell Stuart!Anyway, Mrs. Chris can't go to Stuart to testify.

"You know that my brother is on good terms with the Earl of Campbell. When he came back this time, he vaguely mentioned that someone may have secretly manipulated the matter of the Lord—he was not the only victim, but Chris was indeed the one who suffered the most. Follow this to find out. , someone discovered that it might be related to Yasha's life experience..."

Wu Zhao hinted a little that Yasha's biological mother might be involved. Once confirmed, Yasha's biological mother must go to court.She believed that Mrs. Chris would not be displeased--after all,

No one wanted Asha to see her biological mother more than she did.Moreover, as a wife, once she learned that Lord Chris was not purely investing in slate, but was deceived, no one would want to recover Lord Chris's defrauded property more than she did.

"It would be great if you could provide some information."

Sure enough, Mrs. Chris hesitated for a while after hearing this, and finally nodded in compromise, "I don't know who her biological mother is. Because the adoption of Asha was a complete accident, I didn't expect that woman to abandon her." Her newborn child..."

A trace of disgust flashed across Mrs. Chris's face, and she shouted excitedly: "Asha was only a little big when she was born. Without her mother, how could she survive in the cold winter? This is simply murder!"

It took a while for Mrs. Chris to regain her composure. After yelling, her face was exhausted and her voice weakened, "Mrs. Molly was a little maid at the time, and she shared a room with that man. Maybe Molly would Know something else--shall I let her talk to you carefully?"

Wu Zhao shook his head, "Don't tell me, ma'am, I'm leaving London tomorrow—although it was Earl Campbell who was investigating this matter, I was entrusted by him to ask you. But those who came into contact with them, It's my maid. Let her ask Mrs. Molly? She knows these things better than I do."

Mrs. Chris's heart suddenly relaxed. Since Wu Zhao didn't pursue it personally, does it mean that what she just said is true?Didn't intend to inquire about Yasha's life experience, but the earl came to ask about it?

This reassured Mrs. Chris, who was still suspicious in her heart, and looked at Wu Zhao with gratitude again.

Wu Zhao also smiled, she did say that on purpose.Just to dispel Mrs. Chris' suspicion.Asha is her friend, and she has a delicate mind. If Mrs. Chris shows something, she will definitely notice-make the little girl sad?This was not Wu Zhao's original intention, and she didn't want to make her friends worry.

What's more, Wu Zhao didn't plan to investigate it himself, this would only attract the attention of interested people, and handing it over to Qingniang's subordinates couldn't be more secure.

Seeing the exhaustion on Mrs. Chris's face, Wu Zhao knew that he had punctured her scar, so she said goodbye immediately, saying with a smile, "I've bothered you for a long time, and I'm going back to Derbyshire tomorrow. If there is any entanglement, I will say goodbye first."

Mrs. Chris held back a few words, and sent someone to call Asha to see her off.

Although Yasha seemed depressed, she still didn't want to part with Wu Zhao. She took Wu Zhao's hand and told her a lot before she finally made up her mind. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth: "Gina, it's really nice Thank you for your willingness to lend a helping hand at this time, I, I..."

Wu Zhao hurriedly stopped, and said with a warm smile, "We are friends, you don't have to do this."

Yasha hugged her tightly, and replied loudly: "Yes! I won't complain about myself anymore. When you come back, I will plant a pot of the most beautiful flowers for you!"

Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing—after all, she was still a young child, and sometimes she spoke childishly and poignantly. She hugged her back, and the two hugged each other happily.

After a long farewell, Wu Zhao sent someone to drive back to Haisen Mansion.

No one expected that the defeat in this war would last for more than three months, and the fighting continued. It was not until the ground was green and the lake broke through the ice shell that the exciting news finally came from the front!

The French army was defeated on the Russian border, the Allied forces took the opportunity to invade France, and the French army retreated!

Finally won!

European countries, the anti-French alliance five times before and after, finally won!

At that time, Wu Zhao was taking a walk in Pemberley Manor in Derbyshire, and listened to the spring plowing situation in various places that Qingniang had come to report, in case anyone would steal and play tricks.

From a distance, I saw a person rushing over with his skirts up, shouting something loudly, and he didn't forget to wave his hands desperately on the way, as if he was crazy.

Qing Niang had good eyes, and she could tell at a glance that it was Mrs. Reynolds who had just met. She was stunned and shouted: "Is Mrs. Reynolds crazy?"

Wu Zhao was also speechless. What happened to Mrs. Reynolds, who always pays attention to her appearance? Let alone running around with disheveled hair, she can't even care about the people next to her?

Seeing Mrs. Reynolds running and losing a shoe, she didn't even care to put it on, she pushed away the maid who wanted to help her, and just rushed to Wu Zhao, tears streaming down her face before she could speak .

"Miss!" The lawn of Pemberley Manor was so smooth that Mrs. Reynolds slipped and fell to the ground without paying attention. She didn't feel any pain and still shouted excitedly to Wu Zhao, "Miss, we Win! Mr. Darcy is back!"

Wu Zhao is not surprised. She has received many letters from Darcy in the past few months. She has the experience of her previous life. Even in just a few words, Wu Zhao can see from it that the French army is exhausted, insufficient in strength, and greedy to launch wars at the same time. Failure is a matter of time.

So she didn't look as surprised as Mrs. Reynolds at the news, but she was happy.

"It's finally over—the Allied forces can't stand another defeat." Wu Zhao asked Qing Niang to help Mrs. Reynolds up, and asked with a smile, "Brother, where are they?"

Mrs. Reynolds supported the young lady's hand, and hurriedly got up, her head was full of grass clippings, and she couldn't hide her excitement. She couldn't wait to reply: "It's almost here—more than that, miss, Mr. Darcy is suffering Canonized as a Viscount!"

"The Darcy family has a title!"
