Brenda suppressed her joy and shyly stepped forward to say hello to Stuart. She specifically mentioned her father who worked under the old marshal's tent, intending to spark a conversation, but she didn't want to, but saw a woman getting off the earl's carriage behind her, who still had a relationship with her. Festival Wu Zhao!

"Why can't it be me?" Wu Zhao glanced at her slowly, and while raising his hand to rest on Stuart's palm outstretched with a smile, he said with a smile, "It's not me, could it be you?"

Brenda's face was more ugly than ever. Stuart was the bright moon she couldn't ask for. When someone said that, she couldn't care about any image. Her mind buzzed, and she screamed without thinking. : "Miss Darcy doesn't know what it means to be reserved and courteous? Today's ball has the nerve to come here in the earl's carriage! Don't you feel ashamed to entangle like this regardless of status?"

The people who came to the dance had gradually arrived, and more than a dozen carriages were parked scatteredly in front of the door. The ladies and their dance partners just got out of the carriages, and Brenda's sharp and penetrating voice immediately attracted The people around, everyone slowly gathered together.

Someone saw Earl Campbell in the middle of the dispute, and heard Brenda's words, secretly guessing, could it be that another lady is trying to curry favor with this cold-faced Earl?That's going to be a really good show.

And the good-for-nothing lady gossiped to her later friends in a low voice, and promised, "Brenda is the number one suitor of the Earl, and she must have seen someone pestering the Earl—that person is going to be unlucky, don't look at Bu Renda behaves gracefully and shyly, but when it comes to the earl, she looks like a different person!"

But there are also those with keen eyesight, who saw something was wrong first, pulled their friends and shook their heads to hide, "I don't think so, that Miss Darcy seems to be walking with the Earl, what if the Earl is her dancing partner today?" ? Let's stay away and don't cause trouble."

Even though I said that, the lady herself didn't believe her guess very much, she also found it funny, can any partner come to today's dance?That's if both parties intend to get married!

count?At this time, he only heard gossip in previous years, and he rejected a certain princess and the daughter of a certain Marquis, and he hadn’t seen anyone’s invitation that he had agreed to—someone must be entangled with Earl Campbell!

This time even the young lady was shaken. She stood a little farther away, so she had to stretch her neck, watching the excitement over there.

Wu Zhao just got out of the carriage, she straightened her skirt slowly, held Stuart's arm, raised her chin slightly, and sneered with a contemptuous look: "I have nothing to be ashamed of— Since when is going to a prom with your fiancé a shame?"

"Let's put it this way..." Wu Zhao looked up and down Brenda maliciously, "Miss Dom is so old and can only attend the adult ball with her brother, isn't it shameful?"

Brenda could no longer hear what Wu Zhao said behind her. Her mind was full of the word "fiancé", and she was making out with Wu Zhao who was holding Stutt's arm and putting the other hand on the back of Wu Zhao's hand in panic. back and forth between the Stuarts, lips

They all trembled, and shouted: "How is this possible! I have never heard that the Earl has a fiancee!"

fiancée!

This sound is no less than throwing a thunderbolt in the crowd!The young ladies who watched the excitement were silent for a moment, and then they coaxed, and the crowd buzzed like a pot of boiling water.Listening carefully, it is not difficult to hear a few female voices with exceptionally high pitches, just like Brenda, calling it impossible in disbelief.

"Why is this impossible?" Wu Zhao gave the little girl a funny look, indicating that Stuart was by her side, "If it's a lie, I can still tell it in front of my face!"

Brenda looked at Stuart tremblingly, as if she still couldn't believe it, and wanted to get a negative answer from him.

Stuart didn't even look at her, and smiled according to Wu Zhao's words: "Of course this is not a lie. Miss Georgiana Darcy and I are scheduled to hold an engagement ceremony this winter. For me, it shouldn't hurt to call her 'fiancée' ahead of time—I can't wait."

Now Brenda's last hope was also wiped out. She lowered her head in panic and looked around, trying to find a lady who was usually on good terms with her from the crowd to take her away from such an embarrassing situation—— She no longer dared to look at Wu Zhao.

Ellen Dome held his sister's shoulders from behind at the right time, and after a few words of comfort in a low voice, he bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Earl. My sister is rude—I'll take her back now, I wish you ..." He glanced at Wu Zhao and continued, "Have a nice evening with your fiancée."

Wu Zhao stared at him, smiled suddenly, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Dom really picks the time to show up. Why don't you come out and stop my sister when she is rude? You have to wait for her to make a big fuss before it's time." ' Appeared, really like your usual style."

Little Dom lowered his eyelids, as if he didn't understand what Wu Zhao said, and still bowed before replying: "Just now, the carriage broke down because of avoidance on the road. I ordered the driver to change to another one, so it was delayed. Time—sorry for interrupting your interest."

The people who just wanted to see the little Dorm brothers and sisters had some sympathy for him for a while, and they all felt that Miss Darcy was unreasonable, and Mr. Little Dorm was tolerant, "It seems that although Brenda is rude, but little Mister Dom is still fine."

How could Wu Zhao fail to understand Little Dom's thoughts? She couldn't help laughing. The pair of brothers and sisters followed the same path, pretending to be complacent and humble, as if someone else was making trouble for no reason, and she kept backing down again and again!

"Mr. Little Dom is so wronged!" Wu Zhao looked at them with a smile, and made up her mind not to let the two leave like this. Although she didn't mind the reputation of being arrogant and domineering, she couldn't be splashed with dirty water. !

"I just don't know if it's the same face when you instigated the merchants to defraud the property, ruined the family and then went to the door to express sympathy?"

People around me are full of melons, their eyes light up when they hear this sentence, wow, there are still melons to eat?The crowd that had gradually dispersed immediately gathered around again.

Little Dom's skills are much higher than Brenda's. He still lowered his head and said with a faint smile: "What did you say? I don't quite understand."

Wu Zhao shrugged regretfully, "Do you think I can't help scaring the snake without evidence?"

She squinted her eyes and looked up at Stutt, and said coquettishly, "Your Excellency, what should he do if he says he doesn't understand?"

"Is this..." Stuart had never seen Wu Zhao look so cute, and couldn't help itching his hands, pinched her face, and said cooperatively, "It's easy!"

Stuart raised his hand and said with a casual smile: "These soldiers and the torture tools of the Tower of London will make you understand-instructing operators to cheat money with broken ships that cannot go to sea, recruiting pirates to assassinate innocent crew members, and blaming ordinary shipping companies Conspiring against the law... You will understand these after reading the evidence."

As Stuart's words fell to the ground, the sound of swords and guns suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of neat leather boots stomping on the ground, and more than [-] soldiers appeared from the dark like ghosts and ghosts. The reaction was already like a wolf like a tiger pounced fiercely, pushing him to the ground.

Brenda was so frightened that she couldn't even scream, she could only move backwards desperately on the ground. The brand-new dress she was wearing was rubbed against the dirt on the ground, and she couldn't see her original appearance anymore.

But no one sympathizes with her. The ladies all think of the few families that suddenly went bankrupt a few months ago. Who doesn’t have a few friends? If not, there are those who are making good friends with them. Naturally, at this time, she hates her Gritting teeth.

Even though they didn't know each other, thinking of how the brothers and sisters of Dom's family usually behave in a dignified manner, they also felt that they had been deceived, and each of them was annoyed, wishing they could go up and kick them for the victims.

Those who have a lot of contacts with Xiaodom are even more terrified. This disagreement will make people bankrupt, and they don't know when they will bite themselves!

Wu Zhao took a step forward with a smile, and happened to be stepping on Brenda's hand, but she didn't seem to notice it, and smiled to herself: "If you can't understand this, then all the evidence Tomorrow, it will be published in the newspaper without any omission—it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, as long as everyone understands it.”

Little Dom suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as sinister as a poisonous snake, he seemed to want to say something, Wu Zhao took the first step, let the soldiers stop his mouth, and then smiled slowly: "You When I will give you a chance to let you talk nonsense——I won’t embarrass myself!"

The people around were stunned by Little Dom's shamelessness at first, but before they recovered their senses and heard Miss Darcy's words, they were speechless for a while.

The soldiers also laughed secretly, they have never seen such a lady before!But it's really wise, when arresting people, you can't listen to the prisoner yelling a few words, which hurt people's ears, this time it's good, just gag, save trouble-it's worth learning, next time you arrest people, learn from it!

"Take it down!" Stuart waved his hand behind him, and Little Dom was dragged down like a dead dog.

Wu Zhao walked over from Brenda's hand, and took Stuart's arm calmly, "Let's go, it's not worth spoiling today's fun because of clowns—this is the most important thing before my adult prom."

I want one! "

Stuart pursed his lips and smiled, grabbed her hand and slowly entered, as if there was no distressed lady on the ground, and there was no such farce today.

The surrounding ladies carefully watched the two of them enter, and the figure disappeared. Then they breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately began to gossip about today's farce with their dance partners or friends - this is worth eating, Can hold a year's talk!

When Yasha came, everyone at the ball was almost here, and Wu Zhao had already dealt with many ladies who came to curry favor, and was hiding at a remote table to complain to Stuart, "You are talking about declaring sovereignty, which makes you More than double the number of people who came to entertain me tonight!"

Stuart smiled and pressed her shoulders intimately, and at the same time swept away the people who were still trying to curry favor with him with cold eyes. Zhao is alone.

Yasha came here just at this time, bringing little Burns with her.As soon as she saw Wu Zhao, she couldn't help but rushed forward, "Gina!"

Wu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly hugged back, motioning Stuart and Pence to stay away, and mouthed: "I want to talk to her for a while."

Stuart had no choice but to lead Burns to the men's lounge.

Wu Zhao just patted Yasha on the back, and said with a smile, "Okay, Yasha, you're such a big girl, and you're still crying—be careful that you won't be pretty if you cry too much."

Yasha sniffled embarrassedly, and thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, Gina. I have heard what they said. Earl Stuart found out the truth about his father being cheated. Is it Little Dom? He is really bad. Thorough!"

Wu Zhao pulled her to sit on the sofa beside her, handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said with a smile, "Then you should thank the Earl, why don't you just thank me for coming up?"

Yasha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "How can I still not understand? If it weren't for you, Your Excellency the Earl wouldn't bother to talk to us little people, let alone do it yourself!"

"Thank you, of course, thanks to the real hero!" Yasha stuck out her tongue. It was the first time since Lord Chris went bankrupt that she was so radiant and cheerful. "Come to our house for a meal? Mom must be very happy to receive your!"

Wu Zhao readily agreed, and joked with a smile, "I'll only talk to Mr. Burns Jr. anyway—anyway, I'll talk to the people behind me!"

A blush appeared on Yasha's face, she patted Wu Zhao lightly, and said angrily, "You're kidding me again! We're still early, we'll have to wait a few years to get engaged."

"Have you already agreed to get engaged?" Wu Zhao asked with a smile when she heard the sound of Xianyin, "That means you fell in love with Mr. Burns."

Yasha nodded shyly, "Well, since my father went bankrupt, my usual friends have stopped, only he is always persistently coming to the door... He is also very nice, and when I am upset, I think of ways to tease me Happy, although I can't compare with the Earl, I think he is handsome enough!"

Wu Zhao listened to Yasha's little daughter's thoughts with a smile, and sincerely wished her best friend.

Learn something.

Mr. Burns is a practical man who does not spend his money. He lives a decent life relying on his ancestral inheritance.Mrs. Burns is also a very nice person, she looks stern, but she loves children very much.Although Emily always had trouble with Yasha, but Wu Zhao also realized later that this little girl was obviously making trouble because Yasha felt betrayed by her friend after they became friends with her, and she was in a bad mood. bad.

In short, it is a good choice for Yasha to marry little Burns in the future.

"By the way, there is also Lord Chris' property. I have some good news that I haven't told you yet." Seeing Asha enumerating the benefits of little Burns one by one, Wu Zhao felt embarrassed, so she interrupted with a smile Said, "This time Xiaodom was arrested, the property that was defrauded at the beginning was not used much, and almost all of it has been recovered."

Yasha's eyes widened in surprise, and she smiled happily: "Really? So, can Dad get back his money?"

"This is really great!" Yasha couldn't help but rejoice, "He no longer has to blame himself, don't have to be depressed, always worried that he won't be able to give me the dowry, and make himself lose his mind!"

Wu Zhao nodded with a smile, "Not only that, but also Little Dom's compensation? Don't worry, his compensation is definitely much more than Lord Chris's compensation!"

"Can I still make compensation?" Yasha didn't know anything about these things. It was a surprise to be able to recover the lost money, and to be able to get compensation was simply ecstasy!

"Of course!" Wu Zhao nodded and promised, "I've hired a lawyer to settle the matter, and with the earl's guarantee, plus the compensation, you can get £[-] to £[-]!"

Fifty or sixty thousand pounds?Yasha was dumbfounded. This was a number she had never imagined. You must know that Earl Chris only invested more than 1 pounds!This is already the limit they can bear, and the rest is the living expenses given by the trust organization every year to maintain their lives, otherwise the Chris family will not be in trouble immediately after losing the money, and have to sell the property to make ends meet .

"This, so much?" Yasha stuttered, "Gina, you must have heard it wrong, maybe five or six thousand pounds?"

"How could it be possible to get it wrong!" Wu Zhao laughed, and repeatedly reassured Yasha, "Little Dom has been killed this time, I am afraid that if Sir Dom is the one who went bankrupt this time--if there is no blood, Little Dom will be alive." fatal."

"Really?" Asha still couldn't believe it.

"Really!" Wu Zhao nodded affirmatively.

Can it really be compensated?Of course not, even if the compensation is a small part, and the money that Sir Chris was cheated earlier has long been spent-after all, even if those ships cost little money, recruiting seamen would not cost much money, hiring pirates The money is not a decimal!If you want to shut up the pirates, there will be more money, not to mention the fifty thousand pounds in total, Little Dom probably added a lot to it!

And where did the Dom family get so much money for compensation? There are five people in total who each pay so much. Does the Dom family have a property of 20 yuan or something!A person who only made his fortune in his father's generation has no ancestral property, so where did he get so much money.

The money is de Boulf

The dowry was prepared for Asha, and it must be recorded in Asha's name, not for Chris and his wife.The money will be given slowly, part of it will be given first so that the life of the Chris family will not be so stretched, and the bulk will be given to Yasha when she is about to get married.

But there is no need to explain this clearly to Yasha. Wu Zhao only told her that the procedure is complicated and that it will take a lot of time to liquidate Dom's property.

Yasha is an optimistic person, she is satisfied when she gets back the original money, and she is not in a hurry to recover these "compensations". Instead, she gave Mrs. de Boer a chance and gave a lot of money when Yasha got married five years later. .Chris and his wife loved their daughter so much that they got such a large sum of money as Asha's dowry, which met Mrs. de Boer's wish.

Little Burns quickly came over to take Yasha away. He bowed to Wu Zhao with a wry smile, and said frankly: "Miss Darcy, I'd better return the Earl to you. If this continues, I'm afraid I will be killed by the Earl." The air conditioner froze into popsicles!"

Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing. When she looked back, she saw Stuart standing not far away, dismissing the men who came to please him with a cold face. The girls were all very tactful, and no one dared to come over.

"I found out that it doesn't make sense for you to ask me to take an oath of sovereignty." Wu Zhao walked around behind him, put his hands on Stuart's shoulders weakly, and laughed softly, "It's been a night, I I haven’t seen any young lady who dares to come over to strike up a conversation with you—don’t say it’s my credit.”

Stuart smiled slightly, of course it wasn't due to Wu Zhao, but because he was "famous" and would never strike up a conversation with any lady at the ball, and he scared away anyone who dared to strike up a conversation. Even though the young ladies around were extremely greedy, no one dared to come up and make trouble.

The music sounded on the dance floor, the Marchioness had already delivered a speech, and the first dance music began.

"It will be your credit in the future." Stuart bowed slightly and extended his palm to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao smiled sweetly and bowed his knees in return.

The two slid onto the dance floor, and the cheerful and intense Viennese waltz mingled in their ears. Wu Zhao vaguely heard someone exhale in a low voice next to his ear, "It's great to meet you."

She raised her head, feeling sore for a long time, and replied in a low voice, "It's such a coincidence to meet you."
