The heroine of the healing department is very rigid [Pride and Prejudice]

She is only six months older than Mary, but her mind is far more mature than Mary, and she understands the relationship between men and women better.So, when Heathcliff found out that Mary was not at Lowood and was in a hurry, she knew he liked Mary.

Although in her eyes, Mary deserves a better gentleman, but she has to admit that, just by imagination, Mary and Heathcliff are also very suitable.

It happened to be one o'clock in the afternoon when Heathcliff arrived at Duke John's mansion. This time is often used by London nobles for their lunch break.Duke John is his old enemy in business, but businessmen seldom face off with their enemies directly, they prefer to make trouble behind their backs, and Heathcliff is no exception.

But this time the situation is a little different.

John Howard was resting in the lunch room on the third floor, with a young maid lying beside him, with his hands on the maid's waist and her head buried in her chest.

Old John's lunch break is very regular, never more than an hour, and never less than half an hour.But he had hardly laid down to-day when he heard the servant come to report that the girl from Lowood, named Mary, had escaped from the woodshed.Old John hadn't woken up yet, and his mind was a little dazed. He remembered that he arranged Mary in the guest room on the second floor. Why did she run away from the woodshed now?

He has been in love for many years, and the first time he saw Mary, he knew that she was an out-and-out beauty. Although he was a bit downcast by Lowood, it didn't affect him.He was a very patient man, so he was in no hurry to do anything to Mary.He wants to raise her like a deer in captivity. Mary is his pet and prey. He wants to raise the pet beautifully, and then teach the pet to serve the owner.So he put Mary in the cozy guest room, so what about the woodshed?

Soon he learned from the servants that Mary tried to escape, but was discovered by Emily, so she was arrested and taken to the woodshed.Old John was angry, angry with Emily.

He blamed her for not telling him the news of Mary's escape in the first place. He likes hunting games the most, and he likes to watch his prey panic when they get lost in the Duke's mansion.

Now, not only has he lost the chance to hunt, he may even lose his prey.The woodshed was only separated from the outside world by a wall, and Emily brought Mary there, no doubt sending his prey to the exit of the trap.How could there be such a stupid woman in this world?

Ten minutes ago, Mary wondered if Emily's brain was really sick, while observing the surrounding environment, she often felt that she was unlucky, but today was different.

There was a window behind the woodshed, which was open, and Mary found that 50 meters away from this window was the wall of the Duke's Mansion, that is to say, she could escape by climbing over that wall.

She couldn't believe that she was so lucky. Could it be a manifestation of God?

"Since you agreed to be my maid, then you have to follow my rules." Ai Mier smiled enough, and put on a lady's posture, "My maid usually lives in the woodshed before taking office. Two days, to sharpen your mind so as not to disobey the master's order in the future. Due to your special status, the Duke is still waiting for you to serve, so I will show mercy and lock you up for a few hours. Before dusk, someone will take you Go take a shower and change clothes." After speaking, she walked out of the woodshed with a confident smile.

It really is a manifestation of God.

Mary quickly thanked Jesus for one side, and then flipped out the window neatly—I don't know who to thank, and she has become more and more proficient in the business of flipping windows in the past few months.The wall was outside the window. Mary measured the height of the wall with her eyes, then moved two blocks from the woodshed, and started to climb over the wall by holding on to the cracks in the wall.

It was the first time for her to climb over the wall, so she was not as proficient at turning over the window, and the price was that she fell off the plinth.The ground in London after the rain was wet and slippery, covered with green moss, and it was difficult for the pier to stand firmly.Add to that annoying long skirts and lace sleeves, and Mary started to envy girls with riding dresses.

After thinking for a while, Mary put the shawl under the plinth to increase friction, then tore off the hem of the skirt that was in the way, and climbed up the wall on all hands and feet.But the moment she climbed the wall, she was spotted by a squeaking footman.

"Grab her, grab her." The manservant's voice was as harsh as a crow, but very penetrating, and soon a circle of servants was attracted.

Mary panicked and fell straight off the wall.When she fell, she had only two thoughts in mind.

One is that fortunately, he fell outside the wall and did not fall back into the yard; the other is, the wall is so high, can I still run if I fall?

Mary fell to the ground, her head stuck in a mass of blue moss, the long dress that had been torn into shape was cut twice, and two nails were broken off.She tried to get up, but her body refused to move, and then she felt someone approaching.

It's over, she thought, and she's going to be taken back again.

The person who grabbed her should have a bit of conscience. He didn't pull her hard, but carefully held her arms and shoulders, and helped her up bit by bit.

A familiar faint smell of tobacco entered Mary's nostrils.

"Don't be afraid, Mary." The voice was very familiar, it belonged to Heathcliff.

"I'll settle the matter of John Howard," said Heathcliff again.Then, Mary felt dizzy for a while, it turned out that she was hugged by Heathcliff, and she hugged his neck tightly reflexively, and now the faint smell of tobacco became stronger.

"Why are you here?" Mary was carried into a luxurious carriage, her head was in a daze, she didn't know if it was broken, or she was stupefied by the smell of tobacco, or some other reason.

"I'll explain to you later." Heathcliff glanced at Mary, and then again, and finally couldn't hold back, and reached out to remove the piece of moss on her forehead.

""

This carriage is simply outrageously luxurious, with soft and warm cushions on the seats, a small hand-warming stove in the corner, and a small white table on the left, with a bottle of hot wine and a box of biscuits on it , and even a small box of candy.

There is also a drawer in the table, which contains anti-inflammatory drugs and medicinal wine for reducing swelling, as well as various emergency drugs and gauze.I'm afraid the carriage of Marie 183 Antoinette is nothing more than that.

But no mirror.

Mary just wants a mirror now.She wanted to see if there was any moss or mud on her face.

In order to keep energetic, John Howard has maintained the habit of napping since he was young, but he obviously couldn't sleep at noon today.Before he recovered from the anger of Mary's disappearance, Heathcliff kicked open the door of the Duke's mansion carved with peacocks, followed by officials.

Old John was a little scared.He once swindled Heathcliff when he first entered the business world. Although he succeeded at the time, he regretted it very much later.Because he found that he had provoked a Satan.

How Heathcliff turned from a poor boy into a rich man in London, and got involved with officials. It is said that he made meritorious service on the battlefield a few years ago.After Heathcliff came back from the war, old John's good life came to an end.

Others don't know, only he knows best in his heart.Heathcliff did not target him with great fanfare, but infiltrated his minions into every corner of his life.In just a few years, his business has declined by half.Although it looks glamorous on the surface, in fact, all the money he spends now is the duchess' dowry.

"Duke John Howard, here is an arrest warrant for your kidnapping of a girl, please come with me." The officer came forward, holding a piece of parchment with a red badge in his hand, and a scar on his left eye. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

"Are you kidding me?" Old John was obviously still asleep, his vest and shirt were half open, revealing his black chest hair.

"We have sufficient evidence." The judge signaled the judge to take out a folder, and Old John glanced at it, only feeling cold sweat.

He wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down, but found that the servants at home were all restrained, and no one offered him a cigarette.So he could only take out a snuff-box from his pocket, opened the lid, but dropped the snuff-box on the ground again because his hands were shaking too much.

Old John barely maintained his composure. He knew that Heathcliff had come, and he had been waiting for this day all these years, waiting for Heathcliff to attack him thoroughly.He knew it was going to happen sooner or later, so he often couldn't sleep at night.Now, this day has come, but out of instinct, he still wants to escape.

This is obviously impossible.

The officer is an old friend of Heathcliff's former battlefield, and he seldom refuses his request.

The matter of Duke John is not difficult to deal with. Although his branch can be regarded as aristocratic, but in fact it is only thanks to the protection of the ancestors. Many people in the royal family have long disliked him.

In addition, some of his deeds over the years have long been known in London, so the police did not need to spend much effort to arrest him.Even the property in the duke's mansion was confiscated, and the servants were brought back for interrogation.The Duchess has always been highly respected, and the boss did not embarrass her, but just asked her about some related matters according to the procedure.

Emily ran away through the back door as soon as she learned that the officer was coming, and she didn't forget to bring a gold and jewelry necklace with her before she left.

Mary couldn't help feeling a little anxious after learning that Emily had escaped from the officer's hands. Britain is so big, it would not be easy to find her again.

Especially just now, Lucifer, who disappeared for a long time, reappeared.

He was still the same, in black robes, with white wings covering the sun.Mary was worried at first that he would be seen by others, but soon she discovered that she was the only one who could see Lucifer.

"You lost your chance again." Lucifer said, "Just now in the woodshed, you could have offered me the soul of the intruder. But you hesitated again."

"You said that there is another method, not a method." Mary hesitated, "Now, tell me what that method is?"

"Do you know why she came to this world?" Lucifer asked instead of answering the question.
