[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

Friedrich now wants to block his brother's mouth directly, and has no face to face Joe at all.

He covered his face, turned around, and said in a muffled voice, "Miss Wickham, what's going on with my brother? Is it the devil?"

Joe: "Exactly."

He gritted his teeth: "Damn devil! It actually wants to ruin my brother's reputation! It also added such a despicable memory to my brother!"

Joe thought: No, it probably has nothing to do with the devil.

Joe came up to Christian and put his hands on his head.

Christian looked at Joe pitifully, "Joe, I know I can't compare to my brother in any way, but I give everything to you, and I don't care how many lovers you have outside. Can't be by your side?"

The system "hissed", 【How humble, what did he imagine, and what kind of plot did the devil construct for him? 】

Christian looked at Joe and said tearfully, "Madam..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and passed out directly.

The system looked shocked: [! ! ! 】

Qiao said casually: "He is the only one with a mouth, and he can't stop talking, so let's take a break."

system:【……】

Master, you have no heart!He has already pretended to be your dog, how can you treat your dog like this?

Joe swept away all of Christian's emotional energy, even the devil's energy in him.

Joe looked around.

"Tsk, the devil is really not here, but the devil is running so fast."

System: [Because the master is a woman that the devil would worry about seeing. 】

弗里德里希许久没有听到弟弟的声音，忙回头,“发生了什么？克里斯蒂安为什么不说话了？”

Joe said softly, "Hush, he's tired, he needs to have a good rest."

She withdrew her hand, "I think he will be much better when he wakes up, and these restraints don't need to be there anymore, let's take them off."

Friedrich naturally believed what Joe said, but he hesitated to speak, "Are... are you okay?"

Joe smiled, "The devil is just a devil after all, and there are only those methods that can be used."

Friedrich watched her in silence, his expression slowly becoming admiration.

“威克汉姆小姐，你的未来一定不可限量。”

He smiled slowly, "In that case, would Miss Wickham wait for my brother to wake up and ask him to thank you in person?"

Joe shook his head: "I don't want Mr. North's thanks, but I want to wait for him to wake up and see if he still needs help."

Friedrich nodded and led Joe to the back garden.

Halfway through the walk, a maid came over and seemed to want to say something to Friedrich, but because of Joe's presence, she had to shut up and signal with her eyes.

Friedrich: "What happened? Just say it, Miss Wickham... is not an outsider."

女仆简直被他的话吓到了，赶紧道：“那位贵客正在花园里。”

Joe looked at Friedrich: "If it's inconvenient..."

Friedrich smiled, "It's okay, I wanted to introduce the two of you to each other."

Joe looked puzzled.

Friedrich just smiled mysteriously.

……

两人步入花园，花园里有一座白色的小亭子，小亭子里放着座椅和桌子，桌子上摆满了水果、甜品和红茶。

A person is sitting on a chair with his back to the two.

He reached out for a cup of black tea and said with a smile, "The scenery here is really nice, no wonder you haven't been motivated recently."

The man's voice carried a high majesty.

Joe paused.

The system wondered: [What's wrong? 】

Joe: "Well, I scanned this person with mental power, and he has psychopathic tendencies."

System: [This is His Majesty the King, right? 】

Joe: "Hmm."

System: [What about his mental illness? 】

Joe smiled, "What should I do? I'm here."

"It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise what would he do?" Joe said with a look of compassion.

The system muttered: [Why don't I believe it...]

...you would be so kind?

Friedrich noticed Joe's expression at a glance.

He said, "Well, this is the Miss Wickham I mentioned to you."

The man holding the black tea turned his head to look.

He and Qiao looked at each other and praised: "Sure enough, she is a beautiful lady."

He glanced at Friedrich with a smile, a hint of amusement.

Friedrich shook his head, "Miss Wickham is a true monk. She is ascetic, pious, and steadfast, so God gave her the ability to heal others and exorcise demons."

The man thought for a while and said, "Avatar?"

Friedrich: "About her apparition... the Church is still evaluating."

Man: "You won't let me interfere in this matter, will you?"

Friedrich said helplessly: "Of course not, I just want to introduce Miss Wickham to you. After all, Miss Wickham is more powerful than those who claim to be famous doctors."

Joe said helplessly: "Mr. North praised him too much, but I'm actually not that good."

Friedrich: "Miss Wickham, don't be humble in front of this nobleman. You can help him, and he can also help you."

The man looked at Miss Wickham thoughtfully, and said coldly, "You really think highly of her."

Friedrich: "I have always admired capable people."

Friedrich looked at Joe and said, "You didn't look right just now, did you notice something?"

The man's heavy and majestic eyes fell on Qiao, as if evaluating her.

The atmosphere in the garden suddenly became tense.

It might be difficult for ordinary people to open their mouths when they are stared at by such eyes, even if they speak, they will tremble nervously.

Qiao smiled softly, and said calmly, "I see that you are sick, sir."

The man's face suddenly darkened, he slammed the table and stood up.

Friedrich subconsciously took a step forward and blocked Joe, "She didn't mean to..."

Joe continued: "If you don't treat it, it will get worse."

The man pointed at Joe and said angrily, "Nonsense!"

After that, he turned and left in a rage.

Friedrich was in a hurry to run after the distinguished guest, but he did not forget to appease Jo.

"Miss Wickham, I hope you won't be offended. I know you mean well, but these words sound like a witch's curse to his ears."

"I'll explain it to you."

After that, he hurriedly chased him out.

Joe stroked his chin thoughtfully, and curled the corners of his mouth.

……

In the office, George also hooked the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry, sir, I was a little distracted just now, what did you just say to me?"

Baron North's breath was stagnant, and he couldn't help but let George get out on the spot.

But, for the sake of what Miss Wickham had done with Dorian Gray for the family, he managed to keep his temper in check.

Baron North dragged his aristocratic tone, and said casually: "Mr. Wickham, I think you also know that you are just an ordinary soldier. Why did you go to the enemy's ship without the order of the officer? superior?"

他眯起眼睛，语气不悦道：“难道你认识敌军，或者说，他们买通了你？”

George scratched his cheek, "Actually, it's not that complicated. We encountered a surprise attack during the carnival celebration. At that time, everyone didn't react. After all, everyone listened to the words of the officer above and said that we were allowed to celebrate. Who knows Are you going to run into something like this all of a sudden?"

Baron North looked ugly as if he had been kicked in the face.

After all, George's words seemed to accuse him of being the culprit, or, even if that was the case, a soldier like him shouldn't have said that to the commander!

Baron North slapped the table hard, "Speak to the point, why are you on the enemy's ship!"

George rubbed his hair and said with a smile, "I want to know why too."

Baron North was taken aback.

George went on to say: "At that time, there was a mess on the boat. Everyone crowded around to avoid bullets. I didn't know who pushed me. I fell from the boat. I swam desperately, but because it was too dark, I fell into the boat. I panicked again, swam around, and even swam onto an enemy ship, luckily I went up at the stern, so no one noticed."

The corner of Baron North's mouth twitched, but he was still dubious.

George spread his hands and said, "Afterwards, I thought, instead of letting them attack me, it's better for me to attack first, so I killed them."

Baron North didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but seeing what he said was so swearing, he could only let it go for now.

"Even so, you still violated military discipline, but since you also made contributions, the merits and demerits will be equalized!"

Baron North knew that George might not believe what he said, so he might as well give him some sweetness to taste.

"However, you have made a lot of contributions, so I will save you a little face and promote you to the rank of sergeant."

"You know, you have only joined the army not long ago, and the promotion from a recruit to a sergeant has already expressed my trust in you."

George looked at him with a half-smile.

Baron North was a bit guilty, which is rare, "This, this is naturally for Miss Wickham's sake."

George's brows were frowned, and instead of being angry, he said, "If it's for my sister's sake, then it's not too much for you to make me a general."

Lord North wanted to scold him.

George said slowly, "After all, my sister has a close relationship with the North family."

Baron North frowned, "Do you want to ask me for a reward by virtue of your sister's reputation of guiding Dorian Gray to goodness?"

He folded his arms, leaned back slightly, and said with a sneer, "Then your thinking is too simple."

"The North family will not be threatened by anyone."

George smiled, "Where is it, Your Excellency the Baron really misunderstood me."

"I mean..."

He pressed his hands on the table, leaned over, and said with a smile: "Master North and my sister have an ulterior relationship. As the head of the family, don't you know?"

"What!" Baron North jumped up immediately.

He quickly reacted, glanced at the closed door, pointed at George and scolded angrily: "Nonsense! You are such a despicable person. You can even slander your sister in order to escape punishment. I think you will be a recruit for the rest of your life." Bar!"

George smiled, "I said this, of course someone can prove it for me."

George rubbed his chin and blinked his eyes, "Maybe you don't know, your youngest son, Mr. Christian North, once planned to frame me in the barracks, deliberately luring me to Dorian Gray's banquet, and on the night he knew Under the circumstances that the military camp will check the dormitory."

"Oh, luckily I wasn't bewitched by him, but he couldn't help himself and ran out, but he was caught and kicked out of the barracks."

Baron North naturally knew about this, and when he mentioned it, he couldn't help but want to scold Christian angrily.

However, in front of outsiders, for the sake of face, he would not mention this matter.

George: "Mr. Christian North has really failed my trust in him by treating me like this."

He covered his heart, making an exaggerated heartache.

"So, without further ado, I approached Mr. Dorian Gray."

Baron North took a breath, "What are you going to do to Christian?"

George waved his hand, "Your Excellency the Baron, don't worry, I haven't finished yet, I'm just going to ask Dorian Gray to introduce an aristocratic man to my sister."

Baron North looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't your sister an ascetic monk who swore not to marry?"

George: "Yeah, that's why I told Dorian Gray to tie my sister and that man together. I believe that with my sister's beauty, there is no man who will not be tempted."

"Don't you think it's a pity that a beauty like my sister has been buried in the church all her life?"

Baron North couldn't help cursing in his heart: Where did this scum come from!

However, Baron North once saw Miss Wickham's back, and her back was so moving, which shows how beautiful her appearance is.

George: "I'm thinking about my sister and our family's future."

Baron North said contemptuously: "I have never heard of your family's origin and status, what else are you thinking about?"

George tilted his head, "Why don't you consider, maybe, that I can become a nobleman in the future?"

"Oh, your behavior is simply shameless!" He accused high above.

George looked puzzled, "Why? What I did is obviously similar to what you nobles do, right? Don't you also try to push your daughters to the king, regardless of whether the daughters are willing or not? Some nobles even hope that their daughters can be given to the king. As a mistress, relying on such a relationship to maintain the glory of the nobility?"

"Oh, even if you don't push your daughter to the king, you will push your daughter to a nobleman she doesn't like. That nobleman may own a large manor and land, have a long noble title, and may be an old man who is dying, but, For your family, for you political men to get enough support and help, you can ignore their wishes."

"Even when your daughter is unwilling to marry the person you appointed for him, you have erased her name and position in the family."

George smiled and said, "Your Excellency, am I not the same as you?"

Baron North turned pale and stared at George, but was speechless because of his anger.

George deliberately said: "It can be seen that we all have a long-term vision, hehe, we are all powerful people."

Baron North wanted to scold him for being shameless and sick, but when he thought that the scolding was actually scolding himself, he felt uncomfortable.

Baron North settled down and looked at George with a hint of ruthlessness, "What are you going to do? Do you need me to tell Miss Wickham how shameless you are?"

George touched his nose, "Even if you tell her, she will forgive me, after all, she has a heart like an angel."

"I'm just telling you what's in my heart. I thought we were the same kind. Ah, sorry, we're the same people."

Baron North cursed in his heart: Get the hell out of your way!

George: "In fact, Mr. Dorian Gray really helped me fulfill this wish."

"He sent someone to lure the eldest son of a nobleman and my sister to come and lock them in an abandoned chapel."

"The eldest son of the nobleman is very good. He is the son of a baron. He is about to enter the political arena and can speak in front of the king. He is really an excellent person."

Baron North trembled slightly.

He faintly had a bad premonition.

George covered his mouth and snickered, "That noble eldest son still has a relationship with you, Your Excellency the Baron!"

Baron North only felt that he had been hit in the head, but he still looked at George with some hope.

乔治露出恶劣的笑容，“就是弗里德里希·诺斯先生啊。”

Baron North was dizzy.

He pinched the table and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

George: "Of course I am not talking nonsense, because many people know about it."

"Whoever knows!" Baron North said hastily.

George admired his ugly face, absorbed the intensity of his outbursts.

The guy who was obviously still aloof just now, trying to bully him and squeeze his credit, has now become a trembling poor guy.

He smiled and said, "Many people know about it, but the one who knows the most is probably the third person who was in the church with the two of them."

Baron North: "How could there be a third person!"

George: "Yes, it's such a coincidence that all three were imprisoned inadvertently. Moreover, the third person is also the son of a lord, and his father's status is even comparable to yours."

Baron North rummaged frantically for who that person was.

The system said quietly: [It's not on the same level as him, because the third person is also his son. 】

Joe said at this time: "I think using Christian's brain hole here should make his father burst out with more emotional energy."

George smiled immediately and said, "They made a lot of noise inside, and when they came out, their clothes were disheveled. I don't know what methods Mr. Dorian Gray, who hadn't repented at that time, used."

"If this matter spreads out, it will discredit Mr. Friedrich North and his family."

Yes, once this matter gets out, it will definitely become a means for political enemies to attack Friedrich, and even, even His Majesty the King may not trust him anymore.

After all, His Majesty the King is a rare king who has never had a mistress, so he is extremely disgusted with such things.

George: "So, your lord, don't you think we're in the same boat now?"

Baron North stared at him icily.

乔治笑了，“男爵阁下就像是要杀了我似的，但是，这件事可不仅仅我一个人知道啊，一旦知晓此事的一个人出了事，你说，其他人会不会知道吗？他们会不会将此事直接抖出来？”

"There are quite a few people who hope to catch your family. After all, your family is quite enviable."

Baron North: Yes, he is right, there are many people waiting to see his jokes!

"Don't think that if you solve me in the barracks, no one will know about it. There are many noble heirs here, and I can be considered friends with them. Do you think they will come to me?"

"There are so many people, as long as one person doesn't keep the secret, you are finished."

Baron North said angrily, "What exactly do you want?"

George: "It's easy, I just want to get back what's mine."

"Okay, this time the merit of annihilating the entire officer on the enemy ship is yours."

George stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him, "No way, one head is missing."

Baron North thought about it in his mind, and only felt that the credit for killing the enemy's coach was great. Even if George exposed those things, because of this credit, someone would protect him.

He faintly wanted to give up the deal.

George smiled, "Your Excellency, don't be stupid. If this matter is revealed, it will hurt the future of all of your North family."

"Who cut off the head of the enemy's coach, but many people saw it, and usually you may not pursue it, but if this matter is connected with what I broke the news, it will be thrown out by your political opponents ?”

Baron North gritted his teeth and stared at George fiercely.

Baron North said angrily: "If you shake it out, your sister won't get good fruit. Everyone will accuse her of being a fake ascetic monk, yes, she will be tied to the stake and burned!"

George: "I don't think so, because your son, Mr. Friedrich North, loves my sister very much. I heard that he seems to want to introduce a big man to her."

George smiled, "Big man, who can be called a big man in front of Your Excellency?"

Baron North's pupils constricted.

"Besides, what does the burning of Joe Wickham have to do with George Wickham?"

He smiled evilly, "I can still live a chic life!"

Baron North said in pain: "George Wickham, you son of a bitch, you are a scum!"

George saluted gracefully, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency the Baron."

"I, a rascal, can spend my whole life with you, but you may not be able to spend more than me."

"Don't use my sister to kidnap me morally, because I... have no morals!"

The "scumbag" George who has no shame and morals showed a nice smile at Baron North, "So, what is your answer?"

Baron North was discouraged.

His whole body seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and he muttered in a daze: "You won."

"That credit..."

"The credit for annihilating all the officers on the enemy ship and killing the commander is yours!" Baron North said with difficulty.

George laughed, "As a first-time happy cooperation, I will tell you who the third person is, but after I get my reward."

Baron North thought to himself: That's fine, at least he has the initiative to face the third person.

System: [Wow, you bad guy, if you tell him that the third person is also your son, wouldn't you want him to have a myocardial infarction on the spot? 】

George: "So many people should block their eyes."

George finally said to His Excellency the Baron: "I believe that we will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future. After all, after today, we will be able to confess."

Baron North blushed and had a thick neck: "Get out!"

George patted his trouser legs and left gracefully, waving with his back behind his back before leaving.

"Your Excellency the Baron, imagine what I said, I have a lot of people in my hands, and we can benefit from each other."

George retired, but Baron North sat in his seat thinking.
