[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

But this is entirely possible. Wickham is holding Lydia hostage and has no means of transportation. If Lydia resists violently, they will not be able to go far. So if there is a basement here, it is entirely possible for him to hide in it.

But how to find the basement now - if their guess is right?

After a while, the three girls returned to the kitchen. Generally speaking, the entrance to the basement is most likely here.Finally, they found a floor in a corner, and there was a handle on it. Because it was not conspicuous, everyone didn't notice it when they first looked for the letters.

Mary wanted to go back and call for someone, but Elizabeth stopped her. She said to Mary, "I think I can talk to him."

Nani?Mary almost jumped up, the one inside was the kidnapper!He is the most shameless and unconscionable man in the UK!Could he still listen to Elizabeth's words and catch him without a fight?

Elizabeth nodded calmly: "It is obvious that Mr. Wickham is being smart. Our first problem is Lydia. We have to rescue her. If we call many people, then this matter will be known to too many people. ..."

Of course, Mary knew that Elizabeth did this to preserve Lydia's reputation to the greatest extent, but after such a big commotion last night, it might be difficult for them to keep this matter a secret.

But Elizabeth still hopes to minimize the harm to her sister. She said to Mary: "I believe that Mr. Wickham is absolutely unwilling to go to a desperate situation, so we may find a way."

Mary weighed the purse in her hand. It contained the kinkini she found this morning. She put it in the purse. She was planning to write back to London to ask Miss White to prepare a sum of money. These were originally intended to be delivered to Li Dia's ransom, but now it comes in handy ahead of time.

She took it out and showed it to Elizabeth, who nodded, "Very well, my confidence has increased a bit. Miss Margaret, you can stand at the exit and wait for us."

Margaret really didn't want to go in and see Wickham again, so she waited at the entrance. Mary lifted up the handle. It was a wooden plank, but fortunately it was not too heavy. Down the steps.

Mary and Elizabeth walked down the small exit. Elizabeth heard Mary's heavy panting and comforted her, "Don't worry, maybe they're not here."

But at this time they heard a sneer: "But we are here, Miss Bennet."

Mary almost jumped at the sound, and she even heard her own heart pounding in her chest.

Wickham's voice!

They stood at the bottom of the steps, and after a few seconds, their eyes quickly adapted to the dim light underground, and the two of them took a clear look at the surrounding environment.This basement is not small, and unexpectedly not dark.There are a lot of miscellaneous things piled up here, but it still looks very spacious. There is a bed at the front foot opposite. Lydia is sitting there, and Wickham is sitting on a chair beside the bed, leaning on the back of the chair with one hand, Holding a bottle of wine in one hand.

There were also two skylights in their wall, and at this time the sun's rays came in just at the feet of Mary and Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was relieved to see that Lydia was not tied up, but was sitting freely on the bed.

Lydia rolled her eyes at the two of them, and said angrily: "I just found it now, it's really slow!"

Mary quickly asked, "Are you okay?"

Lydia shrugged: "It's okay, as you can see!"

Mary saw that her hair was messy, and she was in good spirits, but... Did that bastard Wickham cheat on her?

Elizabeth didn't think as much as Mary did. Seeing that Wickham was still drinking indifferently, she calmed down even more. She nodded to Wickham: "Mr. Wickham, long time no see."

Wickham slammed the bottle onto the table and shouted: "Yes, Miss Elizabeth, we haven't seen each other for a long time! I never thought we would meet again like this! Never!"

But immediately after that, his face changed, and his furious and distorted facial features stretched out, and then he said to Mary very gracefully: "I never thought of meeting you like this, Miss Elizabeth, Miss Mary, although it is a bit unexpected, but still Surprising, isn't it?"

Elizabeth nodded coldly: "I never thought that I would meet you like this, Mr. Wickham, I am very sorry about this. Moreover, I believe that neither of us thinks this is a good way to meet."

Wickham laughed twice, and said again: "Yes, what a pity! If your good sister didn't come to meddle in other people's business, I believe our future reunion will be very decent, very romantic, very..." Said At this point, he seemed to be unable to think of other words to describe it, and his facial features began to distort. He obviously drank a lot of wine, and the smell of wine was overwhelming.

Elizabeth saw that he seemed to be mentally unstable, and decided to cut the mess quickly.

She took out the bag of gold coins and said to Wickham: "Mr. Wickham, I know you need money now, you can take these gold guineas, but please let me take Lydia back, the family is very worried about her? "

"Worried about her?" Wickham sneered, "No, don't worry about her Miss Elizabeth, Miss Lydia is very good, very good, she likes to stay with me..."

"Mr. Wickham!" Elizabeth snapped at his words, "I have been overwhelmed by the demeanor you have shown since I knew you, so I ask you to continue to maintain your dignity and character before me, and don't do anything to impress me. Disgraceful."

Wickham was silent for a while, then smiled wryly: "Miss Eliza, I want to continue to be a handsome gentleman, but God seems to have forgotten me..."

"God treats everyone fairly! Mr. Wickham, we will give you money now, but Lydia wants to go with us, you have no other choice!"

"Haha," Wickham laughed twice, and said coldly, "No, I have it!" Then he suddenly raised the hand behind him, and in his hand he held a handful of □□.

He triumphantly said to Elizabeth: "Dear Elizabeth, if you call someone when you find this basement, maybe I really have no chance, but stupid girl, you are so smart, I really didn't expect you to be so smart." There is actually a stupid head growing under Zhang's smart face."

The gun didn't look big, but it exuded a cold and heart-pounding light. It was the first time that Mary was pointed at with a gun, and she couldn't help but feel tight. You know, the gun at this time is very easy to go off. ah!

Elizabeth was also taken aback by the gun at first, but she immediately calmed down, looked at Wickham, and said calmly: "Mr. Wickham, are you going to kidnap our three girls with a gun? Oh, and there's a lady out there in the basement, so that seems like a bit of a challenge. Also, if you could actually shoot one of us, it would be nice to see? I'm sure the cops on the streets would I'd be happy to see what's going on here, will a thug with a gun pose a threat to the princes and nobles living in the town and His Majesty the King nearby?"

Yes, Mary felt relieved when she heard this. The sky is bright now, and although there are no people coming and going outside, it is by no means deserted, and the gunshots are loud at this time, if Wickham can really kill them all one by one Well, that movement is definitely not small, and it will definitely attract the police and the magistrate. This is a so-called royal town, and the law and order force is stronger than London.

Wickham seemed to have thought of this too, his face relaxed, and then he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head, smiled wickedly at Lydia, and said to Elizabeth: "No, Miss Elizabeth, I wouldn't do that, I don't have to, we're going to be relatives soon."

His words made both Mary and Elizabeth have an ominous premonition. Sure enough, Wickham then dropped a blockbuster, "Last night, Miss Lydia agreed to my marriage proposal!"

Elizabeth's face was terribly pale, she even let out a sound of shock, and even Mary couldn't help exclaiming. At this moment, the two of them had the same thought, that is, Lydia must have been insulted by this beast last night up.

Mary's eyes were bloodshot with anger, the bastard!Beast!Die badly!

Elizabeth could hardly stand, and her eyes turned to Lydia, who had only said two words at first since they came in, and then said nothing.

At this time Lydia raised her head, she looked at the two sisters, then at Wickham, then sneered, and mocked Wickham: "I was just perfunctory you yesterday, Mr. Wickham, you won't So stupid to think that I will keep my promise now? I don’t think anyone can accuse me of breaking my promise. After all, I was in a very dangerous situation last night. Everyone will forgive me, because I was forced by you! Otherwise, I will It's hard to keep your innocence!"

Mary breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and hearing Lydia's words sounded like last night she and Wickham made a deal with each other, using those engagement words to comfort him, she should be safe now, and Elizabeth's stiff body also relaxed a little .

But Wickham's face didn't change color because of Lydia's sarcasm, he just said with confidence: "Lydia, my dear, I love you sincerely, of course we can't separate, otherwise I don't guarantee that we won't mess around Said, at that time, the young lady of your Bennet family may not be able to marry! What a pity that would be!"

Lydia shrugged and said, "Half of my older sisters are already engaged. If they are returned by their fiancés, it's because of their incompetence. Don't expect me to blame myself. It's none of my business!"

Mary nodded in agreement when she heard such words: "Yes, Mr. Wickham, don't expect to threaten us with these words. If you must die, we will never sit and wait for death. I advise you to take these words now." With the money taken away, we can all pretend that what happened last night never happened, there are more than 100 guineas here, enough for you to find a rich rogue in London to pay your debts before the creditors come to your door."

Elizabeth said: "Mr. Wickham, Lydia has just passed her 16th birthday, and she is not yet of age. If you have asked carefully, you must have heard that the two little sisters in our family are not serious about their property. There is no right of disposal, our father gave their proceeds completely to their sisters, that is, me and Mary, if you insist on going your own way and make everyone sad, then I can guarantee that even in the future you and Lydia You won't get a penny if you can get married. I think our father would agree with our decision, and he would never be willing to use his wealth to bribe the most shameless man in England to marry his daughter."
