[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

"Oh," cried Lydia, "that's too unfair, and I think it's only fair that I deserve a large dowry when I marry, as much as Jane and Mary!"

Mary couldn't help but glared at her, thinking: which side are you on?Do you want to dismantle your desk like this!

Elizabeth didn't even look at Lydia, and continued to say to Wickham: "I am not alarmist when I say these words. If we compromise with dirty, dirty and immoral, then our morals will also be ruined. My father will never do that. Do it! He will never approve of this marriage! Your fantasy will never come true! Besides, this marriage did not start from love but from sin. marry you!"

It is true that as long as Mr. Bennet objects, it will be difficult for Lydia to marry him, unless the two elope, but in this situation, Lydia will never go with him willingly, so Wickham has no choice.If Mr. Wickham made the matter public, public opinion would only sympathize with Lydia. Of course, Lydia's reputation would be ruined.

But Wickham's expression didn't change at all. He picked up a piece of paper from under the wine bottle and threw it over. The paper was folded and fell lightly on the ground. Mary took a few steps to pick up the paper. , After taking a second look, her face became very ugly.

Mary handed the paper to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth couldn't wait to read it. There was nothing on it, but it was Lydia's signature of her consent to marry Wickham. With two witnesses and a priest's signature, Lydia and Wickham are officially legal couples.

The thing was of no use now, and Wickham was only using it to frighten people, because if it were known, the Miss Bennet's reputation would be discredited.

While Elizabeth was still looking, Mary said to Wickham: "This document is utterly invalid, Mr. Wickham, both legally and morally."

"My wife's sister can sign it as a witness. Dear Eliza, can you please sign it? Otherwise, I'm going to shoot!" He said and put the gun on Lydia's head.

Mary looked at the gun and felt breathless. At this time, the gun could easily go off. She was so scared that she dared not speak out loudly: "Don't hold her up like that, be careful of it going off, be careful!"

Lydia said bitterly: "You let me go quickly, it won't do you any good if you go on like this! Stop doing these useless things!"

Elizabeth thought for a while, and then tore up the piece of paper without hesitation. Wickham shouted angrily: "Don't think I dare not, I will kill her!" Dia's head twisted, and Lydia frowned in pain, biting her lip.

Elizabeth said coldly: "Even if we sign, there is no priest here, Mr. Wickham, I am afraid you have no way to take this paper to the court to sue Lydia for not abiding by the so-called legal marriage with you. Today, I will definitely not Let you take my sister away in front of me, unless you kill us all, unless I die! Mr. Wickham, you only have one chance, the ladies of the Bennet family are definitely not weak, you really have to give it a go, Your chances of winning are not very high, and I am not afraid of death! You can try it and see which one of us can care less about his own life!"

Elizabeth has a serious face, and no one will deny that she regards death as home, and it is obvious that Mr. Wickham cares more about his precious life!His face changed again and again, obviously he was very conflicted and struggling.

Mary calmed down at this time, she gathered herself together, sneered at Wickham twice and said: "Mr. Wickham, don't engage in these beast fights, those are useless, I advise you to let us leave quickly, otherwise You will end badly. Lydia will never marry you, and if we do, we will not give her a dowry. If you think you can bring us into submission by these mean means, then you are very wrong. Wrong. Let me tell you what you get!"

She took a breath and continued: "Even if you marry Lydia, you can live a life of scraps and gold in London with her dowry, but the Bennet family will never give in! Especially me, Mr. Wickham, for the rest of my life I'll never see you again, you bastard who's dishonoring my whole family. I'd love to use some method to widow my newlywed sister. Bounty hunters, you know? They Usually called a thief-catcher, I happen to know a Mr. West who has a long-term box at the Old Charlie's Cheese, but I don't think a gentleman like you has ever heard of him. He has a gang of thieves and thugs, He himself occasionally goes into business without capital. All I have to do is give him this bag of kinkinis, and this gentleman of good standing will promise me that you'll be drunk in a few days. Into the Thames, of course, you may drink well, but the fog in London will always make people see the road, there are always reports of this in the newspapers, isn't it? There were even a dozen people in the same day last year. Tian accidentally fell in and drowned."

Wickham's face became very ugly, and Mary continued: "You may bring your entourage with you, which may be difficult to handle, but no one can guarantee that when you go out to spend time and drink, you will not conflict with others because of jealousy, or , someone who hates you poisoned your wine glass, oh, or put it in your food, or simply hid in a corner and shot you..."

"Oh," screamed Lydia, flushed and excited, "that's a great idea, I might try it at home! I mean, our new home, dear Wickham!" She Seeing Wickham's pale face, he became proud.

Mary glanced at her coldly, and said, "Maybe he will preempt you, so that he can inherit your dowry." She looked at Wickham again: "But don't worry, I will avenge you, He can't escape my revenge on him, he can't escape, and he can't bear it!"

Elizabeth was obviously also very shocked. She never expected that Mary would say these words. This is too lawless. How can a well-educated young lady plan such a conspiracy, but it is really easy to think about this kind of thing Realized...

Elizabeth forced herself to give up this thinking, and she maintained absolute reason and said to Wickham: "I think you should accept this bag of gold coins and get out of here, Mr. Wickham, no one with a brain would choose anything else. Either way, because it won't do you any good!"

Wickham's complexion is already brilliant. If Mary really does that, then even if he marries Lydia in the future, he will never end well. Even, as long as she thinks, he will never have a good life in the future. Maybe now he can Shoot them all to death, but that's too risky, Margaret didn't come in, who knows if she's honestly waiting outside now or has already run to the street to call for someone, now every second he stays Just a little more dangerous, damn it!He escaped yesterday with Lydia, but he was not familiar with the neighborhood, and Lydia had been very unruly, so he took her around the woods for an hour without going far, and then he Just came back again.He thought, no one would have guessed that he came back here to hide in this basement again, but he was bumped into by these women!Damn it!Damn it!

Elizabeth was still there asking loudly: "How is it? Have you thought about it? Do you want money? Or do you want to die?"

Of course, this question is easy to answer, but Wickham still hesitated for a long time. He seemed to be making the most difficult choice in his life. Grabbed the money bag full of gold coins, and then walked quickly to the steps.

At this time, both Mary and Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly, which was much better than what they had imagined at first, and they just treated it as a disaster.As for those gold coins, Mary does not intend to give them to Wickham for nothing. When he goes out, she will immediately find the sheriff and say that her bag of gold coins has been robbed. That much money is enough for him to be hanged, Mary. Thinking bitterly, this was the first time she thanked the harsh torture laws of this era, this beast should be hanged on the gallows.

But no one expected that when Wickham just stepped onto the steps, Lydia rushed over. The room was full of sundries, and several mutilated stool legs and chair backs were scattered on the ground. , Lydia randomly pulled out a piece of wood and threw it at Wickham's head, then picked up a wooden stick and pointed it at Wickham's arm all at once.

Wickham was caught off guard, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground. He crossed his arms and shouted: "You stinky——"

Lydia hit him hard again, and shouted: "Bastard, I'm not something you can offend for nothing, you dare to offend me, you have to pay the price!"

Mary and Elizabeth were taken aback by Lydia, but they were just a little dazed, and then quickly ran over. Of course, they couldn't just watch their sister being beaten at this time.

Seeing the two of them also rushing over, Wickham seemed to consider that it was impossible for him to fight three against one, so he desperately went to pick up the gun. Lydia immediately dropped the stick, and Wickham Fighting for the gun, the two rolled on the ground.

Mary picked up Lydia's dropped stick and hit Wickham hard on the shoulder, but it was only that one hit. They rolled back and forth, and Mary was really afraid of accidentally hurting the friendly army.Elizabeth simply didn't care about the image of a lady. She pulled Wickham's clothes and tried to pull him away from Lydia, but Lydia was still distracted and instructed them: "Liqi - pull his hair! Hair!"

Elizabeth grabbed Wickham's hair and pulled it down without hesitation, but Wickham also went crazy at the slightest. He hit Elizabeth back with his elbow, and Elizabeth was thrown to the ground by him, and Wickham Hitting Lydia with his forehead, Lydia screamed, and Wickham stood up, holding the swarthy gun in his hand, the cold luster made people shudder.

Mary knew that life and death were at stake at this time, so she rushed towards Wickham desperately, but at this moment there was a loud noise.

With a "bang--", the whole room was filled with an unpleasant smell of gunpowder.

Mary felt that her ears were going to be deafened, and then she started to touch her chest, her heart was still beating, she looked at her body, there was no pain or bleeding, and then she went to see her chest Sisters, they were not injured at all, and then the three of them turned their gazes to Wickham. A big piece of his chest was broken, and blood was gurgling out.

Wickham's expression didn't seem to feel any pain at all. He looked at Mary and the others blankly, and then lowered his head to see the wound on his chest.

At this time, Mary suddenly heard a scream: "Ah——"

She looked up, but Margaret was standing on the steps. She looked at Wickham in horror, uttered a high-pitched cry, then turned her head and ran outside.

Margaret's cry woke up the rest of the people at all. Wickham realized his current situation. He clutched his wound and ran out staggeringly, shouting as he ran, "Help—help!" I--"

Elizabeth also woke up like a dream. She immediately pulled Lydia up, checked that there were no obvious wounds on her body, and then took her with one hand and Mary with the other and ran out of the basement.

At this time, the sun was already shining outside, and several people stumbled onto the street. At this time, Wickham covered his wound with one hand, and scratched randomly in the air with the other. He begged for help to the people around him in pain: "Help—help me—" —, someone to find a doctor, I need a doctor, help me—”

There were also three or five people passing by on the street, all of whom were poor people or servants who got up early. Two of them ran to Wickham to support him, and said loudly, "We have to go to Dr. House, we have to hurry."

Miss Margaret had disappeared. Mary and Elizabeth supported Lydia from left to right. Seeing this situation, they decided to go back to the villa first. 】
