[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Watching her sisters leave, Manli also slowly adjusted her mentality.

Except that Manli was a little depressed when she found out that she had changed from Elizabeth to her inexplicably when she had to face such an embarrassing thing, but she was actually not afraid.

It's just a little greasy.

She sat down again in the chair and sat upright, waiting for Collins to speak.

Sure enough, Collins came prepared.

He once again praised Manli's beauty and elegance in a large space, and finally got to the point when Manli wanted to yawn.

He said: "Miss Manli, you should see my affection for you, right? I have been courting you in every possible way these days, although you didn't give me the feedback I should, but I know it's because you are naturally shy. Of course, this kind of shyness increases your cuteness and makes me appreciate you even more."

Having said that, he paused for a moment before continuing to Manli: "I think you should understand my intentions now. Frankly speaking, from the moment I stepped into the Bennet Manor, I almost immediately I decided to choose you as my lifelong partner. I think this is the most perfect decision for me and for your whole family."

Speaking of this, he raised his chin arrogantly, with an expression that I gave you a lot of charity.

Manli almost laughed at him.

When she was reading a book before, when she saw Elizabeth being proposed, she just felt embarrassing.

But now that the object was changed to her, Manli didn't have that embarrassment anymore, instead she felt a little more optimistic about the show.

She did not speak.

After a few days of contact, she has discovered that Collins belongs to the kind of person who is particularly prone to being immersed in himself and does not listen to what others say.

Before he had said all he wanted to say, Manli didn't bother to say anything.

Sure enough, without Mary's support, Collins resumed his performance.

This time, he described his current life in a smug tone, showing off how good his relationship with Mrs. Catherine was and how much she cared about him. In order to show his respect for that lady, he also had to bring a The wife goes back... something like that.

In the end, he finally turned to the topic, and he said with a serious face: "Speaking of dowry, I know you don't have much, at best it's a property of a thousand pounds with an annual interest rate of [-]%, and you have to wait for your mother to die." You can only get it. Of course, I will not say anything about this, and I will not dislike you because of this after marriage." ①

Hearing these words, Manli finally couldn't control the anger coming from her heart!

Although the sisters of Collins knew what Collins said in their hearts, and even discussed it more than once.But this does not mean that they can accept the same words from other populations.

Still using this contemptuous tone!

What the hell is this guy?

Doesn't he know how old he is if you give him face?

Your mother just died, your family is dead!

Manli stood up from the chair, looked at Collins expressionlessly, and coldly interrupted what he was about to say: "Have you finished? It doesn't matter if you haven't finished, I just want to tell you, I'm not going to agree to your marriage proposal. And it's definitely not the shyness or reservedness you think, but..."

She looked into Collins' eyes and said word by word: "Because I don't like you, no matter how much money you have, it will only make me feel disgusted, I will never like you in my life, let alone marry for you."

Collins was taken aback by what she said, but it was obvious that this person didn't take it to heart at all.

He waved his hand at Manli indifferently, and then said in a tone that is not as fussy as you are: "I understand that you are pretending to evade. Facing a gentleman's first marriage proposal, it is very easy for a young girl to refuse." It's normal, otherwise you won't be able to show your reserve."

"It's just," he paused, looking at Manli, with a hint of threat in his tone: "Miss Manli, please pay attention to your wording, don't be too absolute. I can understand that you just want to refuse more Once, so that I can feel that you are very popular. However, I still get a little angry when you talk like this."

"And you really angered me and made me give up my marriage with you. I believe that it will be you who will lose more."

Manli was about to be pissed off by this person.

She couldn't help shouting at Collins loudly: "I don't know where you learned your self-confidence? But Mr. Collins, let me tell you one last time, I, Bennet Manley, swear to God .Even if I can't get married for a lifetime, I will never marry you!"

As she said that, she lifted her skirt and was about to go outside, not wanting to see this person again for a minute.

Collins' face finally became serious.

He looked at Manli and nodded, "I understand your thoughts. As a young lady, rejecting a gentleman's marriage proposal again and again will give you an inexplicable sense of superiority. This time Let's just talk about this first. It's just my dear cousin. I hope that when I talk to you about this matter next time, you'd better restrain your emotions. After all, as a lady, it's not right for you to be so ruthless. Likeable."

Manli felt like her head was about to explode.

She didn't understand if this person was really stupid, or was he pretending to be stupid?Why is it so oily and salty?

He has already said so, why does he still think that he is pretending to be reserved?

She opened her mouth to try to refute, but Collins continued: "Miss Manli, to be honest, with your current conditions, it is impossible to find other marriage partners with better conditions. After all, whether it is me My property, social status, my relationship with the De Bourgh House and your family are all my very superior conditions. And you? What do you have? Even if you have an excellent side, what is the use? With your meager property alone, all your excellence is offset. If you don't marry me, do you think there will be a second man who will propose to you? I'm afraid..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice, his voice was sharp and full of sarcasm: "At that time, you will really be like the oath you just swore, and you will never get married in this lifetime!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be amused by his analogy, and actually laughed out loud.

The flesh on his face was shaking with a smile.

tom!

Just as he was laughing and looking at Manli in a condescending manner, when she compromised, he was suddenly kicked from behind!

The unsuspecting Collins yelled, stumbled forward a few steps, and then fell to the ground with a plop.

His tall and strong body fell on the hard stone floor, making a loud noise, and even the water glass on the table was moved from its position.

This sudden scene scared Manli to cover her mouth in a hurry, and forced her to suppress the scream that had reached her mouth!

She quickly raised her eyes and looked out.

Only then did I realize that several people were already standing at the door of the living room.

In addition to her two sisters who were as frightened as she was, there was also Mr. Darcy with a dark face.

And Gene, who obviously came with Mr. Darcy, has already entered the room at this moment. He stood in front of Collins who fell to the ground like a god, and pressed his foot hard on his fat back. superior.

"Who gave you the face to make you dare to talk to Miss Manli like this? You still want to marry her? Don't even look at what you are!"

Jin's face was so dark that Manli had never seen it before, and his eyes were red with anger.

Following the words, he purposely crushed the foot on Collins' back again, causing the man to let out a maddened scream!

"Let me go! Who are you? Do you know who I am? If you do this, Mrs. de Bourgh won't let you go!"

Collins twisted his body vigorously, his hands and feet bounced, trying to break free from under Gene's feet.

It's a pity that Gene didn't intend to let him go at all. Seeing how hard he was struggling, he simply pulled out the riding whip hanging from his waist, and whipped it hard towards Collins' body!

"Ow!"

"Ow! Ow!"

"Mrs. de Bourgh? Huh, is it amazing? Well, I'll beat you to death now, and then wait for her to come and trouble me."

Gene sneered, and forced out these few words from between his teeth.

Then his subordinates worked harder, as if they were going to keep their word, and they really killed Collins.

The blunt sound of the whip being drawn into the meat, coupled with Collins' howling and howling, Manli, who was stupefied by this scene, finally came to her senses from her daze.

Only then did she feel her teeth ache.

"Stop! Mr. Jean, please stop!" She stepped forward quickly, trying to stop it.

Jean temporarily stopped the whip in his hand and looked up at her, but it was obvious that his anger had not dissipated.

"You go out first, I'll take care of it here." He still stepped on Collins' back, his voice was cold.

Let him handle it?

At home?

His young master's anger really drove Collins to death. He will definitely be fine, but what will his family do when the time comes?

Facing such a wayward person, Man Li felt a bit of a headache.

She took another two steps forward, looked at Gene without giving in, and said in a firm tone: "Mr. Gene, please let go of our cousin first, and talk slowly if you have anything to say."

But her words obviously made Gene even more angry.

He raised his eyebrows, pronounced the word "cousin" in a more emphatic tone, and then asked, "He insulted you like that, yet you still recognize him as your cousin?"

After speaking, he raised his hand again, and the whip was about to fall on Collins again.

Manli closed her eyes depressedly.

She simply stopped explaining, but walked over and grabbed Jean's arm, pulled him back and pulled him hard: "Let him go!"

Gene was staggered by her. Unprepared, he obviously didn't expect Manli to attack directly.

Before she could react, she was pulled with all her strength so that she forcibly moved her foot away from Collins.

Standing by the door all the time, several people with different expressions came to their senses and hurried in.

Darcy looked afraid that Gene would get irritable again, so he came over and hugged him from behind, clasping his hands tightly.

Jane and Elizabeth, who were frightened and frightened, called the servants in a panic and asked them to help pull Collins up and help him out.

"You are too reckless!"

Seeing that the two eldest ladies finally got everyone out and the chaotic living room regained its calm, Darcy let go of Jean's hand and blamed him.

And Gene didn't even look at him, and cast his eyes on Man Li who stood silently by the side: "You think so too?"
