Jane explained the case of Lydia to Mr. and Mrs. Weston, and asked if they would interrupt their journey and send her to London.As soon as Mrs. Weston heard it, she said that she was also willing to accompany her to London to take care of Lydia, and Mr. Weston agreed to Jane's request without hesitation.

"My God!" he exclaimed, "it's true that you want to go back after what's happened. I'll have the horses ready at once, and I believe we'll be off in half an hour."

"Thank you, Mr. Weston," said Jane gratefully, apologizing again for interrupting her trip.

"It's unbelievable that something so terrible has happened to Lydia! Of course we should go back, and you needn't be sorry," said Mrs. Weston. "There's been a riot in London! How could Lydia have risen with the mob?" conflict?"

Jane could only tell her that she didn't know the specifics of what had happened, and the details might not be known until they returned to Longbourn, or when they arrived in the city.

"This news is astonishing!" said Mrs. Weston. "Why is there no mention of such an event in the papers this morning?"

"The news in the newspapers is not so fast." Mr. Weston said helplessly. "If it hadn't been for the letter that Jane received, we might not know the news until a few days later."

While speaking, the servants had already packed the carriage and luggage, and they immediately got into the carriage and rushed to Longborn.

Mrs. Weston seemed to remember something when she got into the carriage, and said to Jane: "It's strange that Mr. Darcy came to visit the Langton Hotel so early."

"That's not it!" Mr. Weston also reacted at this time, "Since we have already booked to visit them at Pemberley Manor in the afternoon, Mr. Darcy doesn't need to come here in the morning."

Jane also felt a little strange in her heart, and guessed that Mr. Darcy might have discussed with some guests who were temporarily staying in Pemberley, and invited them to go there directly for lunch.

She guessed so unsure of herself, let alone of the Westons.They both thought that whatever reason Mr. Darcy suddenly thought of calling them in the morning again, it must have something to do with Jane.Mrs. Weston thought she could make fun of Jane, but the thought of Lydia gave way to her anxiety.

They traveled in such haste that they only stayed overnight, and arrived at Longbourn by dinnertime the next day.

As soon as Jane waited until the carriage stopped, she jumped down.Elizabeth had already run out of the house when she heard the sound of the carriage, and when she saw Jane, she immediately went up to her, hugged her warmly, and kissed her face to face.

"Jane!" she cried, "we miss you so much! It's good to see you back!"

"I miss you too!" said Jane. "How's Lydia? How's Mary? Can't Mum get up yet? How's Uncle, Aunt, and Pa? Where's Kate?"

At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Weston also got down from the carriage, walked up to the two Miss Bennets and asked for any news.

"Lydia has woken up several times in the past two days," Elizabeth said quickly, "but the situation keeps repeating, and there is no improvement. Mary's high fever has subsided, and with Mr. Hunter's meticulous care, she There is no need to worry too much. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner are very busy. One of them has to deal with the affairs of the shop, the other has to take care of the children, and at the same time take care of Lydia and Mary... Fortunately, Dad has arrived in the city safely. It should be able to help a little. Mom is not bad, she was just stimulated, worried about Lydia, Kate, and uncle, and she couldn't recover mentally...She still can't leave the room."

She took a breath and added: "Kate is very well, thank God. She's upstairs with Mum."

"What about you?" Jane asked with concern, holding Elizabeth's hand. She noticed that although Elizabeth was in good spirits, she looked tired.

Elizabeth smiled and told her that she was very well, but Mrs. Bennet fell ill, and she had to take over various matters in the house, which was a little unaccustomed.

"Having Kate here really helped me a lot," Elizabeth said. "She's also slowly taking over some things now and can help me out. It's just that the preparations for Mary's wedding have stopped now."

"Don't worry," said Mrs. Weston. "Now that we're back, I'm sure everything will be all right."

"Yes," rejoined Mr. Weston, "we will set off for the city to-morrow, and see if we can be of any help."

"Thank you so much!" said Jane and Elizabeth.

Several people took off their traveling clothes, and Jane immediately went upstairs to Mrs. Bennet's room, while Elizabeth took Mr. and Mrs. Weston to sit in the drawing room.

"Oh, Jane!" cried Mrs. Bennet, as soon as she saw Jane, "it is very good to have you back!"

Jane walked over and took Mrs. Bennet's hand extended towards her, sat down beside her, and nodded to Kate.

"If I had gone to town with Lydia and Mary, nothing like this would have happened!" cried Mrs. Bennet. "Think, riot! What a dreadful thing! How can you call me poor Lydia?" Ya's hit! She's out of business now, tell me what to do! Those mobs should go to jail! Oh! And Mary! She's a bride-to-be who got scratched by those nasty people Arms, how can you wear a wedding dress! And my poor brother, what if he goes bankrupt! They can't take good care of Lydia! Jane, you must go to London at once, and take care of your sister!"

"Of course, of course," said Jane. "I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Okay, okay! I'm relieved!" Mrs. Bennet said, "You must take good care of your sister and ask your father to find the best doctor!"

Jane agreed one by one, so as to comfort Mrs. Bennet, she calmed down a little.She had vented enough of her depression and grief, and kicked out her two daughters, expressing that she would take a break.

Jane and Kate moved to the living room downstairs, where Mr. and Mrs. Weston were asking Elizabeth about Lydia and Mary's encounter with the mob and the conflict with the mob.

"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Weston. "How did Lydia come into conflict with the mob?"

"It was those mobs who entered Mr. Gardiner's shop and smashed it up. Lydia couldn't see it and stood up to stop it. Unfortunately, she was hit by a flying vase." Elizabeth said briefly.

"Where's Mary?" Jane asked, sitting down on the sofa, "how did she get hurt?"

"Mary saw the vase flying towards Lydia and stopped it," Elizabeth said, "but she didn't succeed - the vase hit Lydia anyway... Mary's arm was cut by a piece of the vase .”

"How is Uncle Gardiner?" Jane asked again. "Has he lost a great deal? Can it be recovered?"

"I don't know." Elizabeth shook her head and said worriedly, "But his shop was smashed, I'm afraid he really lost a lot..."

"The mob, I suppose, has been arrested?" asked Mrs. Weston.

"As far as I know, most of them have been arrested," Elizabeth said, "but not all... Mrs. Gardiner's letter said that some mobs ran away when they heard the guards coming."

"Those who were arrested, where are they now?" Jane asked.

"Prison," Elizabeth said.

"The mob deserves to be held accountable for those who have been harmed by their actions!" Mrs Weston said.

"They should," said Mr. Weston, "but I am afraid these people have neither the sense nor the capacity to be responsible for those who have been hurt by them."

"Those who got away, do you think they will retaliate?" asked Mrs. Weston again. "Will they be arrested?"

"I'm not sure about the former," said Mr. Weston, "I can only say that it's difficult for the latter—in a place like London, they can always find a place to hide if they want to, and since the guards have caught the head , and will not put more energy on searching for fish that slipped through the net."

"If it weren't for the generous help of a gentleman, and the guards were called in time, I'm afraid the situation would be even worse!" Kate said suddenly.

"A gentleman?" Jane asked, looking at Kate suspiciously.

"Yes." Kate nodded and said, "Didn't Liz say it? It was Mr. Rushward who sent someone to the next door to call the guards, and then went to the scene of the riots to frighten the mob, so that the situation did not change." It was even worse, so that the guards arrived in time to arrest those mobs... He was also the one who sent Lydia and Mary to the hospital in time."
