In order to avoid other people's misunderstanding, Cynthia and Matthew agreed to only perform this play in front of Mary, and still show their unfamiliar relationship with other people.This is very demanding on timing, because generally Mary will not stay alone in a certain place.

But such things as timing, there will always be something created with heart.What's more, Mary has been paying attention to Matthew all the time, and she will come over naturally when she sees that the two of them are talking happily.

"It seems that you have become familiar with each other very quickly, Cynthia?"

Sure enough, Mary began to care, and Cynthia gave Matthew a look that really did.

Cynthia explained to Mary solemnly: "I haven't had a chance to chat with Matthew about his life in Downton before, but this time we met and found that we still have a lot to talk about. Right, Matthew?"

Matthew nodded, suppressing his expression of wanting to look at Mary.Trying her best to match Cynthia's performance, Cynthia felt that her acting skills were growing rapidly.

From a little white who can't lie well, now he can look at Matthew affectionately and provoke Mary at the same time.

God bless her, she really was all about making a marriage happen.In her heart, she is still the innocent, lovely and kind fairy.

Not far away, Robert called Matthew, as if he wanted to introduce others to him.After all, this is also the first time Matthew has attended such a grand occasion, and Robert wants to introduce him to everyone as his heir.

After Matthew left, the smile on Mary's face disappeared.

She asked in a questioning tone: "Matthew? I didn't know you wanted Downton Abbey too, so that's why you didn't support me in getting the right of inheritance?"

Well, Mary can always drive people crazy with one word, and she's always suspicious.God knows how on earth she connected this with the inheritance.

"Matthew is a person, not a symbol of belonging to Downton Abbey. Mary, we all know why you treat Matthew so indifferently, in good times and bad times. He is your backup, and you don't really love him .So why stop Matthew from going to someone better?"

Mary directly ignored Cynthia's big call, "So you are the better person, Cynthia? Don't be kidding, if he was that poor lawyer in Manchester, would you still say that? I'm afraid he is not even qualified to talk to you like this." Not enough, otherwise how would you reject that Sean. Don't make yourself sound so grand, we are just the same people."

Cynthia gave up, they were sisters, they knew a little secret about each other.When confronting each other, take it out and use it. Cynthia should lament that she hides her thoughts about Sherlock very deeply, and Mary and the others don't see it.

"It's up to you to understand it, anyway, it's Matthew's choice in the end."

After watching Cynthia annoy Mary away, Matthew came over.He wasn't happy that their play was working, and in fact Matthew was a bit regretful that he'd agreed.

The answer obtained in this way may not necessarily be what Mary really thinks.

"You have to understand that people like us don't fall in love with someone easily. Our lives are single and boring. We have been committed to marrying ourselves since we were teenagers. The choice of a husband is very important to our future life. You are very important to Mary. Attractive, obviously you're attracted to her in some way. But it's not enough for her to give her full heart."

"That's so rare, for an aristocratic marriage. Cora and Robert are just a few people who are married and live happily."

Matthew knew this, he was a lawyer, although not a divorce case.But I have heard a little bit that in this era, those who can apply for divorce are generally nobles, and the divorce rate is not low.

As for the reasons for divorce, it is always cheating, cold violence, bankruptcy and so on.

Cynthia patted Matthew on the shoulder very understandingly, as if I understand what you mean.

It's just that the passing old lady glanced at them both strangely, and said coolly: "Pay attention to the occasion, Cynthia."

Alright alright.With so many constraints in her life, Cynthia's rare interest also dissipated, and she returned to the previous state of being lazy and disinterested in everything.

Just as she was about to leave, Matthew stopped Cynthia from behind.

"Anyway thanks for telling me that, you gave me some encouragement. So, whatever you're depressed about right now, it's going to be okay."

Cynthia slowed down a bit, then nodded at him.

"Mary is going to Galanz Street tomorrow. There is an art exhibition. I'm quite interested. Do you want to go together?"

Without what he said before, Matthew might think that Cynthia, like Edith, wants to develop a further relationship with him through dating.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

When Gwen asked Cynthia if she was going out the next day, she got an affirmative answer.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to go out for a walk, miss. The sun is shining, and the mood will be much better."

As Cynthia put on a long black pearl necklace, she turned to Gwen and asked, "Am I being obvious?"

"Kindly, you've always had energy, miss. Hopeful about things, it's not like you these days."

Cynthia didn't want to talk about it, subconsciously she was avoiding Sherlock.

"I see, it will be adjusted soon. By the way, how is the correspondence course going?"

When it came to studying, Gwen became nervous like a child who was suddenly asked by the teacher.

"I've been studying, but my progress is a little slow. I can't keep up with my typing speed. I don't think any company is willing to have such a secretary."

"Gwen, it's natural to have difficulties. If you give up now, wouldn't you be sorry for the courage to take the first step? What's more, the profession of secretary will encounter various problems in the future. There is no easy profession."

Gwen also recalled her original intention of becoming a secretary. There is nothing wrong with being a maid, but she wanted to change her way of life.Yes, isn't it natural to encounter difficulties, and this is the difficulty in learning.

If other people know her thoughts, there will be more incomprehension, and the same is true for job hunting.If she didn't want to face these difficulties from the beginning, then she should feel at ease as a maid, and her lifelong goal was to become a personal maid or housekeeper.

Gwen's frowned brows relaxed: "Well, I will work harder."

Cynthia picked up a book from the bedside table and handed it to Gwen: "I found this in London, and it may be of some help to you. Your birthday is next week, so consider it a birthday present for you. "

Gwen took the book in surprise, her fingers brushing the golden lettering on the cover.Downton Abbey will prepare gifts for the servants every Christmas, New Year and other festivals, which can be regarded as work benefits.

But there is no such thing as a birthday gift. Cora and the others are usually so busy, they probably don't remember the birthdays of the servants in the manor.

Thomas knocked on the door and reminded: "Miss Cynthia, Mr. Crawley is downstairs."

Cynthia responded, pointed to the book in Gwen's hand, and said in a low voice, "Keep it away, and don't let anyone see it."

It was self-evident who some of these people were referring to, and Cynthia said something to Thomas as she opened the door and took the hat from Gwen.

"I want to talk to you when I get back."

Thomas looked straight ahead, his face was still calm, but the hands behind his back were already clenched.

"Can I ask ahead of time what the talk is about?"

Cynthia glanced at him without emotion, "You will know when the time comes."

She put the hat up with her backhand, tidied it up a bit and went downstairs.

Matthew was waiting below alone, while Robert and Cora had gone out.Mary should be preparing too. If she speaks quickly, the three of them might meet before leaving the house.

Before Cynthia could say hello to Matthew, Mary's voice came from behind.

"Matthew? Today I..."

Oh, what a coincidence.

Cynthia turned to Mary and said, "Oh, he's dating me. Today you have a date with another gentleman, I know."

Mary stood on a few steps, watching Cynthia walk towards Matthew, who bowed his head, and affectionately put his arm on his shoulder.She slowly tightened her hands on the armrest, and suddenly felt that the necklace around her neck was strangling her so that she could not breathe.

The art exhibition was not far from Grantham's old house. Matthew suggested that they walk there instead of taking a car, and Cynthia readily agreed after taking a look at the weather.

"Matthew, are you sure it's this street?"

There are so many streets and lanes in London that the government has not even planned the garbage dump, and they cannot be expected to put a name on each lane.

Obviously neither Matthew nor Cynthia know the way, the difference is that Matthew thinks he knows the way.But in fact, this road is getting more and more deviated.

Cynthia could already see more and more rubbish on both sides of the street. This was not the place where an art exhibition could be held.

Matthew looked left and right, and his light eyes were stained with embarrassment.

"I, I'm not sure. It doesn't feel like it. Are we going to step back to where we were?"

"No, that's too far. You can go straight ahead, then turn right onto Leeson Street and take the second left. Is it complicated? Not at all. But it doesn't seem like you know the way people, so do you want me to take you there?"

The third voice appeared suddenly, and Cynthia bent her hand on Matthew's arm. She turned her head to look at Sherlock who appeared here, and it was no surprise that Watson was beside him.

It's just that she didn't expect Sherlock's image to be very bad, with blue stubble all over his chin, messy hair, and weeds on his coat.But that's not important, what's important is his expression, which doesn't look like he's awake.

Cynthia cast her eyes on Watson, and she understood the entanglement and hatred on his face.The room behind them is probably a poison house, and Watson probably found Sherlock there, so there is no need to explain what he did.

"If I remember correctly, I only met Mr. Holmes last week. It only took you a week to make yourself like this?"

Sherlock staggered to stand up straight, and the look in his eyes that he struggled to open didn't look like a drug addict at all.

"Didn't you just change your male partner in a week? Didn't you really do it because you were rejected by me?"

Watson just let go and let Sherlock fall down by himself. Why is this kind of man supporting him?Didn't you see the wonderful expression on the face of the person next to Cynthia?

Cynthia felt a fire burning from her stomach into her heart, and she took a few steps towards Sherlock who was barely standing still.She pursed her lips and slapped him on the right cheek, and after thinking for a second, feeling uncomfortable, she slapped him on the left cheek.

Now I feel much better, and my heart is a lot smoother.Cynthia licked her molars, "You take yourself too seriously, Mr. Holmes. Whether it's Lu or a man, it's better not to open your mouth when you see me in the future."

The author has something to say: Sorry for the late update, I went to work for eight hours yesterday and met for five hours.Something went wrong in the working group, and the manager explained the seriousness of the matter from all aspects.

Hey, I fully understand the difficulty of going to work, but my colleagues and boss feel that they are very good people. I believe I can learn a lot during this time.As Cynthia said to Gwen, there is no easy career.
