Pemberley Manor is located in the Lake District of Derbyshire. Summer and autumn are good and there are many tourists. But in November, the lake is full of water, the terrain is empty, and the weather is cold. There are no mountains to block it. The strong cold wind blows into the bones, even if the Lake District is winter. The scenery has a special flavor, and not many people are willing to come for sightseeing.

Wu Zhao took the horse-drawn carriage back along the original road, and along the way, he could only see a few small villages occasionally—these were all farmers attached to the Darcy family—and no one passed by.

It was in this silence that Lydia, who had just narrowly escaped the catastrophe, was trembling with fright, buried her head deeply between her knees, and hid in a corner of the carriage with her shoulders folded. Weeping softly, but didn't dare to say a word.

"Have you cried enough?" Wu Zhao sat on the seat in the car, glanced at her condescendingly, and said coldly, "If you cry enough, you will have a long memory."

Lydia choked, and hiccupped in fright.She sniffed her nose twice, not daring to cry any more, she hid in the corner and slowly looked up at Wu Zhao, and whispered, "Where is Duoqi? Where is she?"

Sarah said, "In the carriage behind."

Lydia looked relieved, her shoulders drooped, as if she was thankful that Duoqi had escaped a catastrophe, and it took a long time before she slowly said: "Thank you, Miss Darcy. Without you, today I would Don't know what's going to happen."

Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said intentionally, "You don't blame me? After all, I sent you to Duoqi. If it wasn't for me, maybe you wouldn't have to suffer today."

Lydia shook her head slowly, and said in a low voice: "I know what you want me to see. Because Duoqi stole things when she was young, no one dared to hire her until she had to marry an old man. She is a 20-year-old bachelor and a gambler. In the past few months, I have seen many old injuries on Duoqi's body, and heard her talk about how terrible it is to be a drunk man countless times."

"Until today, I saw the little bastard who came to collect debts again—if you hadn't come today, would I have been killed by them..."

There was a trace of panic in Lydia's eyes, and she didn't dare to think about this possibility any longer. She avoided it and said, "You don't have to come. But you still got someone to save me."

"This is the end—this is the end of a thief, the end of a woman who marries a gambler or an alcoholic..." Lydia took a deep breath, her eyes gradually became clearer, "I was taught by my mother to be too naive , I always thought that as long as I got married, nothing would be unsolvable. But now I realize that, compared to getting married, the more important thing is that I can't go astray, and I can't find a husband with bad intentions. "

Especially Lydia was frightened by Duoqi's fate.If it is really a lady from a squire family like Lydia who marries such a person, even if her life will be poor, she will not be reduced to Duoqi's fate.

No matter how reluctant they were, Jane and Elizabeth still couldn't let go of their biological sister, nor would they let her go to the point of being a servant.But this is exactly what Wu Zhao wants to avoid. Of course the mistress of the Darcy family can

Help your family, but the prerequisite is that this family can't be an insatiable idiot!

Fortunately, Lydia has made great progress in the past three months. Even if she can't have Elizabeth's intelligence and Jane's kindness, her vanity and arrogance have improved a lot. Over time, with the help of her two sisters, There is no problem in living an honest life.

"It's best if you can see clearly by yourself, so you don't have to waste my time." Wu Zhao nodded, smiled and waved for Lydia to come closer, "If you can't see clearly, you can go on your own way. It's your tomorrow."

"Believe me, you won't have a better life than her." Wu Zhao still had a gentle smile on her face, but the strength of the fingers pinching Lydia's chin made her heart beat hard. a shiver.

"I, I understand..." Lydia closed her eyes and said tremblingly, "I won't make the same mistakes again!"

"That's good." Wu Zhao let go of Lydia's chin, and wiped his fingertips calmly, "Someone will take you home in two days. If anyone asks, just say I'm going to my aunt's house As a guest, Pemberley is home to no one—remember?"

Can go home?Can I go back to Longborn?

A great joy suddenly seized Lydia's mind, she could hardly believe her ears, and thought she was dreaming in a trance!

Wu Zhao let himself go back so easily? !

Lydia almost cried with joy, she nodded desperately, and almost raised her hand to swear, "I remember! Remember!"

For the rest of the journey, Lydia was so excited that she couldn't sit still, and looked out of the car window secretly from time to time. She had never expected to arrive at Pemberley Manor as quickly as today.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she couldn't wait to jump out of the car, looked at Wu Zhao eagerly, and twisted her hands uneasily, as if she was afraid that Wu Zhao would take back what she said before and send her to the farm again. of.

Wu Zhao glanced at her, ignored Lydia, who was already too excited, and walked to the manor with Qing Niang: "Someday, someone will pay off Duoqi's late husband's gambling debts, and let Duoqi take her to the manor." Take the two children to Pemberley and do some odd jobs. Tell her I don't pay her interest, but half her annual wages at Pemberley will pay the principal, and let her be honest and know what to do."

Qing Niang answered in a low voice.

Lydia wanted to catch up but didn't dare, so she had to turn around anxiously. Fortunately, Sarah rescued her.

"Send Miss Bennett to the guest room and pack her things. She will return to her home in two days." Sara called a maid and motioned for her to take Lydia to change her dirty clothes and tidy up her messy appearance. .

Lydia gave Sarah a grateful look, and hurried to follow the maid.

The servant sent to Rosings to deliver the letter quickly delivered Mrs. de Boer's reply letter. Obviously, the lady did not ask him to wait, and immediately wrote a reply letter for him to bring back as soon as she received the letter.

In the letter, Mrs. de Boer complained about Darcy's behavior of going to the front line without telling her, "First of all, I want to congratulate you on getting the title of viscount, but then I have to complain a few words

—I don't know why you put yourself in danger, it's a battlefield!my God!Nothing is worth risking your life for.But luckily, you came back safely. "

Wu Zhao smiled and shook the letter paper in his hand, "Brother, I hope you won't be talked about by Aunt De Boer this time."

Darcy shrugged and didn't seem to care about this, but let Wu Zhao continue reading.

"This is finally a happy thing. Please assure me, you must not be injured at all, right? If you are injured, please don't come to Rosings, and take care of yourself." Come back from the injury. It just so happens that Anna has practiced a new piece these two days. She is not very proficient, but her teacher said that she is very talented. If you come a few days late, I think Anna can play it for you. gone."

"Your father's last wish has been fulfilled in you, and he will be happy in heaven. So are we sisters, after all, so you can take full control of your marriage, regardless of your promise to your father--let me say In a word, the condition you agreed to at the beginning is extremely unfair! How can a grown man—and he has a successful career—not be able to make decisions about his own marriage!”

"Oh, bad brother, you should have heard what auntie is implying?" Wu Zhao shook his head regretfully, stopped reading the letter, and commented, "A successful career, a wealth of wealth, and a viscount! She won't let go anymore."

Darcy said nothing.

Wu Zhao turned a page, quickly scanned the content up and down, and couldn't help laughing: "Ha! I said I didn't read it wrong, listen to what my aunt said below—"

"Back then, our sisters agreed that if we had children, we would not let them have children. Unfortunately, my sister gave birth to you and Gina, but I have never had children, but God heard my prayers. One year later, I will have Anna! Isn’t this a destiny? By the way, Anna misses you very much too, if you can, remember to give her a hug—you haven’t seen each other for nearly two years.”

"Oh, and here's the last paragraph—"

"And poor little Gina, has her senior prom been cancelled? It's such a shame, and if I could, I think maybe Anna could go to this year's prom with her. That way I could introduce them to London Ladies, I can assure you that Gina must have been bored and deserted going to the tea party alone last year."

"Besides, there are a lot of young, pretty boys in Hunsford, and perhaps Gina would like to choose one of them this time around to be her Yule ball partner. That would be perfect, I say, from London. Those fellows are more of a drinker than a Hunsford man can be trusted!"

"My vision has always been good. I have seen that there is no failure. Although it may make you think I am a bit arrogant, but recently the pastor in Hunsford got married successfully, and at least one-third of them It's my credit—it's me who persuaded him to get married quickly, how can a man who already has his own business not have a wife at home to take care of the housework for him?"

"Now you see, sure enough,

He and his wife had a very nice life, and I met that woman a few times, and she was a very good person for a pastor's wife.This cannot but be said to have been formed under my facilitation. "

"Finally, I wish you and little Gina a happy mood."

"Catherine de Boer, who is looking forward to your arrival so much"

Wu Zhao finished reading the final inscription, straightened the letter paper in his hand, stuffed it into the original envelope, and said with a lowered smile, "Could it be that the pastor and his wife mentioned by my aunt are the Collins and his wife? The newly married wife is probably Yi Leza's good friend, Miss Charlotte—it sounds like their descriptions are completely different."

"And from my point of view, that Collins," Wu Zhao smiled, "is a stupid, conceited and flattering villain."

"Brother, I'm afraid you will have a headache again when you go to Rosings this time."

Darcy glanced at her meaningfully, then laughed lowly, "I don't know who is going to have a headache..."

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Stuart (smiling face) who hasn't appeared for a long time: Yes, everyone, I'm the one who has a headache—Mrs. De Boer, men in London are not good guys, are they?Pick a partner for Hunsford, huh?I remember you!
