[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

"My God, why is this happening? My God, how are we going to live?!"

Before entering the house, I heard my mother crying.

The three sisters were shocked, and they ran into the house together without even bothering to tell the coachman about the unloading.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw that the house was in a mess.

The tables, chairs and benches in the living room were crooked, and the floor was covered with mud marks.

The coachman Carter stood in the corner sweating, not daring to move, trembling nervously, his clothes were still stained with large bloodstains.

And mother's voice came from the second floor.

Manli and the others couldn't care less, and ran upstairs again.

As soon as they ran to the corner of the stairs, Kitty rushed towards them crying: "Dad is hurt! Daddy's leg is broken!"

Manli's heart trembled when she said that.

She pushed Kitty away and rushed straight into her parents' bedroom.

Sure enough, the bedroom was full of people at the moment.

Besides Mother, who was still sobbing, there was Sir Lucas, and Mr. Gall, the village doctor, and his assistant.

The father, on the other hand, was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion, unconscious.

Seeing Manli, Mrs. Bennet seemed to have a backbone, rushed over and hugged her tightly: "My dear Manli, you are finally back! Your father, your father... woo woo, Woohoo, your father is injured!"

She spoke incoherently, but apart from hearing helplessness and panic, Manli didn't get any useful news from her mother.

She patted her mother on the back, handed her over to the two older sisters who rushed in to appease her, and walked towards the doctor.

"Mr. Gal, can you tell me what happened? How did my father get hurt?" She tried to calm down and asked.

Mr. Gal was still standing by the bed at the moment, probably observing Mr. Bennet's situation.Hearing Manli's words, he raised his head irritably and glanced at her with a frown.

He seemed to be very annoyed by the crying in this room.It wasn't until seeing her calm look that her face looked better.

"Your father fell off the carriage and then hit a rock. It's his luck that he didn't hit his head, but this leg... may not be able to keep it."

Mr. Garr did not talk nonsense, and briefly explained the situation, but to Manli's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made her head buzz and she was at a loss for the first time.

Shouldn't it?There is no such plot in the original book!

What went wrong?Why did this happen to my father? !

Could it be related to my time travel?

Could it be because of this inexplicable factor of himself that affected his father?

She stood there in a daze, her face gradually turned pale, she seemed to be dumbfounded, and she couldn't even say a word.

Sir Lucas, who was standing aside, looked at the pitiful little girl, who looked like she was about to cry, and couldn't help feeling compassionate.

He sighed, walked over and patted Manli on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, your father will be fine. As long as people can wake up, legs... are not that important."

But if your life is gone, you orphans and widows will really have no way to survive.

Although his words were not finished, they touched the deepest fears in the hearts of the Bennet family.Mrs. Bennet, who had just stopped beside her, burst into tears again.

The other sisters also wiped away their tears.

"Crying again? Crying again is really hopeless! Which of you will follow me to get the medicine?"

Mr. Gal was dizzy from the crying of the women in this room, and said loudly in an irritable tone.

"I'll go!" Manli said hastily, wiping away the tears that overflowed her eyes.

"Third sister, let me go, you have been in the carriage for so long."

Lydia, who had been squeezed in the corner all this time, could only sob softly and dare not let out a sound, squeezed over and said to Manli.

Looking at the little sister who seemed to have grown up in an instant, Manli's eyes were filled with a hint of relief.She nodded, took out all her pocket money from her pocket, and stuffed it into Lydia's hand.

Mr. Gall and Sir Lucas left one after another. Manly asked the two sisters to put their mother in another room to rest, and Kitty stayed to understand the situation.

Only then did I know that my father accidentally startled the horse when he was inspecting the manor.He was thrown out of the carriage, and fell right on a rock, and broke his leg in that moment.

"Third Sister, is Dad really going to become a lame man in the future?" Kitty asked in horror.

Manli didn't know how to answer.

"Go ask Martha to boil some hot water, and then prepare some gauze." She looked at her father on the bed, and ordered to her sister.

Since her father's accident, Kitty had already panicked just like her mother. Now that she heard the third sister's words, she had hope, and hurriedly agreed to run out.

Apart from Mr. Bennet who was lying on the bed at this moment, Manli was the only one left in the room.

She picked up the towel placed by the bed, gently wiped away the blood on her father's face, and slowly lifted the quilt covering him.

One leg of Mr. Bennet's trousers was cut off from the thigh, and the exposed area was tightly wrapped in white linen.

Manli didn't study medicine, so she didn't dare to use the little common sense in her mind to experiment on her father.

But even if she doesn't understand anything, she also knows that if it is really a fracture, the injured part must be splinted, otherwise the bone will not grow well in the future and it will become a permanent disability.

But now, the wound was just wrapped in a white cloth.

Still faintly, you can see that there is blood oozing out.

It was obviously bandaged just now!Dr. Garr hadn't finished it when she came in.

Does that mean Dad's bleeding hasn't completely stopped? !

What should I do if the bleeding doesn't stop?

Will daddy die?

Manli was frightened like never before.

"Third sister, third sister, the medicine is here!"

At this moment, Lydia rushed in from the outside panting heavily, with cold air on her body and sweat on the tip of her nose.

It looked like he ran to get the medicine back from Dr. Gal.

Manli quickly took the medicine bag and quickly opened it, but what caught her eyes was a bag of black powder noodles with a pungent smell.

Because of Jane's experience in Netherfield, Manli suddenly became vigilant: "What is this medicine for? Did Doctor Gal tell you?"

"said."

Lydia nodded heavily: "This is a painkiller. Dr. Gal said that if Dad is in severe pain, give him a drink. But if you can bear it, it's better not to take it."

poppy.

These two words suddenly appeared in Manli's mind.

You can think about it.

In such an age, what kind of treatment can she expect the doctor to give her father?

To be able to give some pain-relieving medicines already belongs to the benevolence of doctors.

But, she won't let Dad eat it.

She came from a later life, and the education she received made her instinctively hate this kind of thing from the bottom of her heart.

And she understands better than anyone else that once she becomes addicted to eating too much of this thing, the consequences will be more terrifying than disability.

She silently repacked the powder and put it in her pocket.

Kitty and Martha brought the hot water together, and Mary wetted the basin with a gauze cloth, wiping away the stains on her father's body bit by bit.

The two sisters next to him, seeing their father's embarrassment at the moment, couldn't help sobbing softly.

"Manli, let me come."

At some point, the two older sisters came in from the outside, and Elizabeth took the gauze from her hand.

Manli didn't fight with the second sister, but looked up at them: "Mom is asleep?"

"Well, I forced her to drink a little sedative just now." Jane said softly.

"I'm going to make some antipyretics for Dad. I think he will have a fever soon." Manli stood up slowly, and walked outside while talking.

"Miss Three!"

She had just walked out of the door when Martha's cautious voice suddenly came from behind her.

Manli stopped and turned her head.

"Miss San, I know that there is a person in Lanbai County who can heal people's legs with wooden planks..."

Martha looked at her expression anxiously, and said in a whisper.

Manli suddenly opened her eyes wide!

"What do you know? Tell me in detail!"

"That's right, I actually heard what other servants said."

Martha quickly explained: "It's the servants in the backyard. They said that there is a gentleman from other places in Lanbai County. He is very good at healing. He can use grass roots and leaves to heal people. He can also break people with wooden planks. The legs are tied up. After the boards are removed, the legs will grow back. Walking is not delayed at all!"

Manli's eyes lit up immediately!

Martha continued: "But that man is very strange. He looks different from us and speaks strangely. I don't know where he came from? He usually doesn't like to talk to outsiders. He is very mysterious. They all said he would Witchcraft, witch doctors."

Speaking of this, she seemed to feel that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Miss San, you don't have to be a witch doctor, they passed it on. I think you can use those leaves to treat people, so you shouldn't care about it." This. I suppose, or would you like to have him come and see sir?"

"Yes, of course! Do you know where he is? Quickly, you go and call Carter and let him go!"

Martha hurriedly agreed and ran out.

Seeing Martha run away, Manli still followed out worriedly.

From Martha's words, she was sensitive to the fact that the person she was talking about was probably a Chinese!

In this era, the two countries are already open to navigation. Although Manli has never seen anyone from Hua country here, it does not mean that there is no possibility.

The grass roots and leaves in her mouth should be Chinese herbal medicines, but if they are tied with a wooden plank, it is simply a splint!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Her intuition told Manli that as long as she found this person, her father would be saved!

Although the medical skills in the UK are still very backward, Chinese medicine, if she is not mistaken, should have a long history.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help speeding up her pace. She didn't even care about frying the medicine, and followed Martha into the yard.

Mafcart should have just left the hall, and before he had time to change his clothes, he was summoned by Martha again.

Seeing Manli, he looked embarrassed: "Miss San, I know the person you mentioned, but I can't invite you!"

"What do you mean?" Manli's heart sank.

Carter said: "My uncle's family is from Lanbai County. That person is very famous in Lanbai County. Many people know him. I heard from my uncle that he is a foreigner. I don't know where he came from. He lives in Lanbai County. The county has only lived for more than a year. He is good at medicine, but not very good at speaking our language. Therefore, if a patient comes to his door, he will treat him, but he will never go to the doctor. That person has money in his family and does not rely on being a doctor. Eat, so no one can please him."

Hearing this, Manli became even more confident that this person must be from Huaguo, and also understood why he didn't go to the doctor.

It must be because of the language barrier!

Although I don't know why that person is living in a foreign country, but there is nothing wrong with being alone and being cautious.

"I'll go with you." She said to Carter firmly.

Mary wanted to try it.

If she was not mistaken, that person should be a doctor from the country of Hua, and for some unknown reason, he was exiled here.

She can speak Chinese, there should be no communication barrier between the two of them.

As a doctor, Manli believed that as long as she pleaded well, the other party would show kindness and come to heal her father.

"You're going with me? No way!"

Carter suddenly became anxious: "Miss San, our carriage broke down. It takes at least two or three hours to drive from here to Lanbai County. How do you go?"

Only then did Manli suddenly realize that her father was thrown out of the carriage, and he suffered such serious injuries, it's no wonder the carriage didn't break.

Look at the sun in the sky. Although there is no watch, you can tell that it is almost noon.The horse-drawn carriages for rent in the village had to be booked in advance, and it was definitely too late at this time.

But if she doesn't go now, Manli is very afraid that her father will not survive tonight...

The blood on his leg hadn't stopped completely, and he was also in a coma. Needless to say, he would have a fever at night.And if the broken leg is not dealt with, even if it survives tonight, it will definitely be impossible to grow it back in the future.

"I'll ride with you."

"Miss San, you don't know how to ride a horse!"

This time, without waiting for Carter to object, Martha next to her yelled first.

In fact, many women in this era can ride horses, especially girls like Manli who live in the countryside and have a horse farm at home.

But her predecessor was a nerd!

In the past, Manli didn't even know how to get out of school, let alone learn to ride a horse.

In modern times, Manli has not learned it either. Speaking of which, she is quite timid about tall animals.

However, Manli could not bet on her father's life.

In case something happened to her father tonight... She felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"There's nothing you can't do, just learn it." She said bravely.

Regardless of the objecting eyes of the two, she looked at Carter again, and told him, "Go, find a rope, and tie me to the horse's back later."

Anyway, as long as it doesn't fall off.

"Miss Three..."

Carter was so anxious that he was sweating!

The husband just fell out of the carriage, and the third lady actually let herself tie her to the horse? !

Well, he wouldn't dare to lend him a hundred courage? !

In case Mr. Future finds out, why not beat him to death with a whip? !

"If you're told to go, you can go. I'll take care of it myself!" Man Li frowned, and snarled in a rare voice.

"What are you going to take? Take his life, or your own? If he dares to get you the rope, I'll beat him to death right now!"

Suddenly, a male voice sounded from behind, the voice was not loud, but with unconcealable anger.

Manli was startled, and turned around quickly, only to realize that at some point, Gene had rushed over and was standing behind them at this moment.

I don't know how much he heard just now?

"Mr. Jean, why are you here?"

Manli ignored what he said just now, and asked suspiciously.

"If I don't come again, you will tie yourself to a horse! As an elegant lady, is this what you should do?"

Gene was obviously very angry, and he no longer maintained his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Manli, and his tone was extremely mean.

Manli frowned involuntarily, feeling that this person was too strict.

The expression on her face became alienated, and her tone became cold: "You are being polite. I have never felt how important it is to be a lady. If this hinders your eyes, I will accompany you first. "

Although she said that she wanted to accompany her, there was no sign of admitting her mistake in her eyes, on the contrary, she was full of impatience.

He was expressing to Gene openly—he was not very popular for meddling in his own business at the moment.

Gene was almost amused by her bluntness.

"I heard from the coachman that Mr. Bennet had met with misfortune, so he came here to check on him. Is he in good health?"

Gene could only take the initiative to change the subject.

Hearing that he was concerned about her father's health, Manli's complexion improved a little.

She shook her head, with a heavy tone in her voice: "It's not very good, so I rushed to ask for a doctor. Mr. Jean, my father is still in a coma at the moment and is not suitable for seeing guests. When he wakes up, I will Pass him your regards. I wonder if you would mind coming back another day?"

This is clearly about to expel people.

"I will accompany you to Lanbai County."

Gene didn't talk nonsense with her anymore: "I brought the carriage here, and I'm leaving now, it will take about two and a half hours. If everything goes well, I can come back at night."

Manli froze for a moment.

She was going to Lanbai County, but she didn't plan to go with him!

Lonely man and widow, one is unmarried, the other is unmarried, two people ride in the same carriage, and go to such a far place together...

If this is spread, it might be reported as elopement by those big-mouthed women.

At that time, his reputation was really gone.

"Why, don't you dare?"

Gene seemed to see her doubts, and raised his eyebrows: "You dare to tie yourself to a horse, but you dare not ride in a car with me? Now you realize the importance of being a lady Have sex?"

The tone was full of banter.

Man Li didn't hide anything from him, and nodded frankly: "I'm a little afraid... In short, it's not suitable."

"or,"

She thought for a while: "Mr. Jean, do you mind..."

"No loan."

Before she could finish speaking, Gene blocked her words coldly.

Manli's words got stuck in her throat, she couldn't get up or down, she choked so much that she could only stare at him.

"Either go with me, or not, you choose." Gene said forcefully, as if he couldn't see her reluctance at all.

Are you kidding me?

It would take him more than two hours to run at full speed in his four-horse carriage from Bolangen Village to Lanbai County.

There are two villages and towns along the way, and a large piece of uninhabited farmland.

She is a little girl who has never been out, how does she know the danger?

What's the use of letting her go out alone, even with a servant?

It is not impossible to lose yourself on the road!

Besides, how could he let Manli go to the home of a man who didn't know anything about it and was completely unfamiliar?

Thinking that if he came later, that kind of situation might really happen...

Gene's face darkened even more.

Manli doesn't know why Mr. Jean has such a bad temper today, but does she still have a choice now?

Gritting her teeth, she ordered Martha to prepare the antipyretics for her father according to her previous prescription, and then quietly told Elizabeth about her whereabouts.

He also specifically told her not to tell anyone except her second sister, especially her own mother.

After explaining, she bowed to Gene gratefully, and walked towards his carriage first.

The car moved quickly.

Sitting alone in the same car with a man who is not very familiar, even though Manli is from a later life, it is somewhat embarrassing at this moment.

So, she had to pretend to be very interested in the interior of the carriage, and watched carefully, so as not to have an awkward chat with Gene.

It really made her see the difference.

Money is really a good thing, so you can use it wherever you want.

This carriage is like the owner of the carriage, it is really boring.

From the outside, there is no big difference between this car and my own carriage, at most it is updated and bigger, but you can really feel the difference when you sit in the car.

I don't know what modifications have been made to this car. The shock absorption effect is really higher than that of my own house, isn't it a little bit.

At this moment, the speed of the car was extremely fast, and she didn't feel much in the car.

You know, when her family's car went to Netherfield Gardens, she felt that her ass was about to break into several halves.

There is also the decoration in the car, which is completely in the style that Manli likes.

Not exaggerated at all, without those messy accessories, simple and practical, but comfortable!

The cushion on the seat was two inches thick, and there were actually soft pillows and blankets on the seat!

She couldn't help but sneak a glance at the man beside him who was sitting upright, closing his eyes and meditating——

This guy really enjoys it!

So, only this kind of people will be the fastest to detect the thermos, right?

"There are snacks in the small drawer next to the seat, and hot water in the teapot next to the table. If you are tired, you can take a rest first. There is still a long time on the road."

Jin seemed to be completely unaware of her sizing up, his eyes were still closed, but he reminded him in a gentle tone.

Manli was taken aback.

It's a bit of the embarrassment of being caught peeping at someone else's stolen goods.

She shook her head quickly: "Thank you, no need, I'm not sleepy."

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned his head to the side and looked out of the car through the gap in the curtain.

It's just that there are too many things that I have experienced today.From getting up in the morning to now, she has not rested.

So, even though she said she was not sleepy just now, she still fell asleep in a daze amidst the rhythmic shaking of the carriage.

In his sleep, he consciously picked up a pillow and buried his head comfortably in it.

It wasn't until he heard the breathing of the girl next to him that it became more and more steady, making sure that she was really asleep, that Gene slowly opened his eyes.

Then, he couldn't help but froze.

The girl next to her obviously didn't sleep well.

His face was extremely pale, and even in his sleep, his brows were tightly knit.

Her whole body unconsciously curled up into a ball, her hands gripped the corner of the pillow, she didn't know if it was cold, or because she was too panicked, all her gestures showed that she was very helpless and hesitant at this moment .

It's definitely not like the calmness she deliberately showed when she was awake, and the confidence that everything is under control.

She must be very tired.

In other words, at this moment, she couldn't even say that she was asleep, and it was very likely that she had passed out.

Gene couldn't help recalling the past few days, only to realize how busy this girl was.

When others were sleeping, she was taking care of her sister, and when others were chatting, she hid in the study and didn't know what she was writing.

When others were bored and began to think about playing games, she went to the kitchen to prepare meals...

Gene went through it in his mind several times, but he didn't remember the time when Manli had a rest.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly became angry.

While being angry with the sisters of the Ban family, none of them really cared about her; at the same time, he scolded his cousin and cousin again.

They are all foodies!

If it weren't for their begging desperately like honey on their lips every day, Miss Manli would have to stay in the kitchen all the time?

He gently sat up straight, pulled out the blanket beside the seat at the slowest speed, and slowly covered Manli's body.

The movements were extremely gentle, for fear of waking her up.

Manli was still awake.

She wasn't really asleep at all.

There are so many things hidden in her heart, if she can sleep soundly, she will see a ghost.

It's just that I've been really tired these days.

She didn't feel that she had been tense before, but now that she relaxed a little bit, she just felt that her limbs were exhausted, and she didn't even want to move a finger.

Feeling the warmth brought by the blanket on her body, Manli comfortably rubbed her face against the blanket, and changed into a more comfortable position.

She even couldn't help thinking in her heart, if this Mr. Jean's family background was not too prominent and he didn't have so much money, he might actually consider marrying one of his younger sisters to him?

He looks cold, proud and a little domineering, but in actual contact, he can be regarded as a beauty in his heart.

Quite suitable as a marriage partner.

After thinking about it, she really fell asleep.

"Miss Manli, wake up, we are here."

Gene's slightly cold voice rang in her ears, and Manli opened her eyes.

It was only then that the carriage had stopped.

She quickly sat up straight, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then turned to look at Gene.

Looking at her little face flushed from sleep, with a somewhat confused expression, Gene couldn't help but soften his voice a little.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the servant to inquire about that person, you can drink some water first."

As he spoke, he handed over a small water cup, and the tea in it was still steaming.

"Thank you."

Man Li was not polite, and took several sips of drinks in succession before she really woke up.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Jean." She said gratefully.

Because she just woke up, her voice is still a little hoarse, with an indescribable aura that belongs only to girls.

Hearing that Jin's whole body tensed up, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He pursed his lips, and seemed a little cautious, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, at this time, the coachman finally came back.

"I've already found out. That person lives in the house in front of him. He should be at home now."

After the coachman came back, he got into the carriage and drove the carriage forward for another distance.

"arrive."

The coachman stopped the carriage, and Gene got down first, then stood beside the carriage and extended his hand to Manli.

After Manli thanked him, she helped him out of the carriage, only then did she realize that she was standing in front of a small courtyard.

This is a very ordinary small farmyard, not like his own manor, but living conditions are better than those of the surrounding farmers.

Standing at the door, looking at the familiar fence, and the strings of garlic braided under the eaves... so kind!Manli couldn't help being in a trance for a while, and suddenly felt like a world away.

Almost without thinking, she subconsciously walked a few steps, walked to the fence door, patted hard, and shouted loudly in Chinese: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone at home?"

Gene's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard it behind him!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the room!

Then there was another jingle, as if something had been knocked over, followed by a young man's voice: "Here we come! Wait a minute, it's coming soon!"

There was indescribable excitement in the voice, and one could even hear a faint choking sound upon listening carefully.

Soon, the wooden door of the house was vigorously opened from the inside, and a young man with a bright face ran out quickly.

Because he was too nervous, his steps were a bit chaotic, and he almost tripped over him in just a few steps.

He looked out expectantly, but when his eyes fell on the people at the door, he froze.

Reluctantly, he raised his head and looked into the distance. After finding that there was no one else, his face was full of disappointment and sadness that could not be concealed.

Manli was almost shocked by the look in his eyes, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

She even felt that what she did just now was really a bit of a jerk——

Surprised this person, and broke his surprise again.

After a while, she whispered again cautiously: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Alang?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Manli with a look of substance.

"How can you speak Chinese?"

He didn't answer Manli's question, but asked back.

"I... I have read a book before, and there is pinyin in the book. I followed it because I was curious. I don't know if this is the Chinese you speak."

Manley explained.

This is the answer she thought up on the way.

Although she knew there were many loopholes, she couldn't think of a better answer for a while.

Fortunately, that Mr. Alan didn't delve into it.

He just raised his head and glanced at the carriage parked behind them, and said lightly: "Who is treating someone? Let him in."

After speaking, turn around and walk inside.

"It's my father. He fell off the carriage and hit a rock and broke his leg. Because of the long distance, my father is still in a coma, so he can't come here. I came here specially to ask Mr. for a doctor's visit, please you and me Let's go home and see my father."

Manli quickly explained.

Hearing that the patient didn't come, the expression on Alan's face faded a bit.

He glanced at Manli and shook his head: "Since you can all find out here, you should also know my rules. I'm sorry, I don't see the doctor. If you believe me, bring the person here, otherwise please go back .”

After finishing speaking, he turned around without hesitation and was about to leave.

Manli is in a hurry!

She didn't care about it any more, she took two steps forward suddenly, and grabbed Alan's clothes.

Alan's expression froze, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull the corner of the clothes out of Manli's hand, his eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable coldness.

At first glance, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Seeing this scene, Gene, who had been standing by the side, suddenly straightened his back, and stood in front of Manli without thinking, blocking the sight of the two of them.

The two men exchanged cold eyebrows. Although there was no verbal communication at all, they both saw threats and dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

Only now did Manli realize that she had lost her composure just now.

She was only thinking about how to ask this gentleman to save her father, but she forgot that even though he was from the Hua Kingdom, he was not of the same age as her.

How could a man in ancient China allow himself to be touched by a strange woman?

She quickly came out from behind Gene.

Apologize sincerely to the man: "Mr. Aaron, I'm sorry, please forgive a daughter who is deeply worried about her father's body. I am the third daughter of the Bennet family in Longborn Village, and my name is Manli. Please Believe me, we really came here to pray for you to save my father’s life. There is absolutely no malice. My father’s leg was still bleeding. When I came out of the house, he was still in a coma. The doctor in the village said his leg I broke it, but I didn’t fix it for him. I just wrapped the bag with cotton cloth. I think my father may have started to have a fever. Mr. Alan, if it is not a last resort, I will not force you like this, but I am afraid... I'm afraid..."

"Please help me!"

She couldn't go on anymore, so she could only bow deeply to Alang, the tears finally couldn't be controlled, and dripped down on the ground in front of her.

"What the hell are you talking about?! This bastard, what did he say to make you so unhappy?!"

Standing by the side all the time, listening to Manli and this foreign man chatting endlessly in a language he didn't understand, Jean was already irritable.

He desperately warned himself that his bad temper should not hinder what Manli was going to do, so he endured until now.

But now, at the moment when he saw Manli's tears falling, Jin finally couldn't hold back anymore, he pulled her over angrily, and asked loudly.

Manli shook her head and did not answer his words, but broke away from his hand, and turned her eyes to Alan again, her eyes were full of pleading.

Gene was really angry this time.

Thinking that he has grown up so big, he has never been rejected like this before.

He really wanted to help this girl, but she pushed him away so shamelessly.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the roiling anger in his heart, and stretched out his hand to grab Manli's wrist again: "Come back with me! I'll send someone to London right now to find the best doctor. If you're still worried..."

Gene gritted his teeth, faint flames flickered in his brown pupils.

He stared into Manli's eyes, and said to her word by word: "I will send Mr. Bennet to London in my own carriage!"

Manli was taken aback.

She hadn't imagined that Gene would do this to help his family.

He was the son of a duke and was born to be noticed.

In a small place like theirs in Hertfordshire, no one would say anything casually.

But if he was in London, his every move would definitely be valued by others.

If he used his own carriage to send his father to London and seek medical advice for him, then within a day, the news would spread throughout the city, and even be overly speculated by interested people.

This will definitely bring him unnecessary trouble.

"Thank you, Mr. Jean, I appreciate your kindness, thank you very much!"

Manli bowed deeply to Gene with a sincere and sincere tone.

Seeing that she understood what kind of promise he had made, Gene's expression warmed up a little.

He took a deep look at Manli, grabbed her and was about to leave.

But Manli didn't move.
