[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 51

The arrival of the host heralds the official start of the ball.People slowly came over and formed a circle. The Duke of Windsor first invited the highest-ranking lady to dance the first dance, and then people joined the dance floor one after another.

Jenny still made her wallflower honestly. She ate a finger-long snack in two bites, tasted the ingredients, and thought she could try to make it when she went back, and then she tried another... …While eating snacks and drinking wine, you can also admire the gorgeous costumes and dances of the nobles, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Jenny took a fancy to the butter balls sprinkled with sesame seeds, so she stuffed one into her mouth, um~ it’s so good, it melts in the mouth, and the taste is smooth, but it’s easy to get fat if you eat too much...

"Mrs. Hudson, so you are here~"

The cream that melted in the mouth almost sprayed out of her nose, and Jenny quickly covered her mouth with her hands and coughed repeatedly.The "culprit" behind him stepped forward and brought a glass of champagne from the table to Jenny.Jenny drank it slowly, put the empty glass on the table, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said a thousand words into one sentence: "Your Excellency Bruce Willie, what can you do?"

Bruce Willy didn't seem to hear Jenny's displeasure at all. He looked like a playboy now, and he stretched out his hand with a smile, "Of course it's to ask you to dance. Do I have the honor?"

Jenny: Oh~ What kind of grudge do I have against you? ~

Jenny quickly glanced around secretly, and sure enough, she found that several ladies and ladies were paying attention here, to be precise, they were paying attention to Bruce Willie.

At this point, Jenny had no choice but to pass her hand over.The two strolled to the dance floor, and Jenny hoped that the music would stop just as they walked here, so she would have a reason to refuse... Unfortunately, this piece is quite long, and I don't know who chose it... (Duke of Windsor: Yes Me, do you have an opinion?)

The two posed affectionately, and Jenny immediately felt as if several laser beams were shooting at her back.Since it was a dance, of course it was impossible to put on a face of deep hatred. The two were smiling, but what they said made Jenny unable to laugh.

Jenny: "Your Excellency, Viscount Bruce Willie, I must apologize for being rude to you two days ago. I hope you don't resent me for it."

Bruce Willie: "? Of course I don't... resent it, it's a very serious word."

Jenny: "Then why are you doing this to me? You know the price of my dance."

Bruce Willie was taken aback, he really didn't understand what it would cost to dance with himself.

Jenny: "If eyes can be turned into arrows, I'm afraid I will be pierced by thousands of arrows from your admirers."

Bruce Willie: "Haha, you're such a joker, ma'am."

Jenny: "I'm not kidding." Look at my serious face.

Jenny sighed secretly.She is not as optimistic as Bruce Willie, who places the pressure of public opinion on the scandal on the conscience of the ladies.In fact, Jenny never underestimates the jealousy of women, rumors can kill people, and her business happens to be those ladies... This is why Jenny doesn't want to have an affair with Bruce Willy anyway, I was really screwed to death by this guy.

Bruce Willie: "You want to distance yourself from me so much... Is it because you are worried about being misunderstood by someone?"

Hearing Bruce Willy's words, a light suddenly "ding" on Jenny's forehead.

Jenny: "Oh, well, how did you find out?"

Bruce Willie: "My God, is that true? Who is the lucky one? Could it be...Mr. Holmes?"

! ! !Why did you mention him! !

Before Jenny could deny it, Bruce Willie seemed to have already decided so.

"Although Holmes is a powerful man, I have to say that he is not a good lover." Although it is wrong to speak ill of people behind their backs, Bruce Willie felt that what he said was just the truth.

Jenny gasped when she heard it. This tone must have enjoyed Holmes' poisonous tongue. At least he is better than you, right?

"While Mr. Holmes is not a good husband, neither are you."

"Oh?" Bruce Willie was quite surprised, "Husband? Oh, Mrs. Hudson, I didn't expect you to be a conservative person, haha."

"I am." Jenny replied calmly.

Bruce Willie still wanted to say something, but the music stopped at this time, before he could continue to invite, the Marquise Beveridge, who had been waiting by the side, quickly stepped forward and took Jenny's hand and said, "Dear Willie ,You do not mind right?"

What else could Bruce Willie say?He could only watch helplessly as Jenny was dragged away by the Marchioness of Beveridge.

The Marquis of Beveridge dragged Jenny to the side, and asked, "It's really you, dear Mrs. Hudson, who actually found the best young man as a dance partner~ You seemed to have a very happy chat just now , what are you whispering?"

Jenny couldn't hide her complacency, "Oh my God, Madam Beveridge, you offended all the boys in the audience by saying that, but Viscount Bruce Willie is indeed the most handsome one. To tell you the truth He really asked me something quietly." Jenny noticed that the women around her all pricked up their ears, "Viscount Bruce Willie seems to want to give his favorite lover a new dress, it's such a waste , He also said that he wanted the most expensive fabric, the latest style, and he specially entrusted me... Oh, my God, this is still a secret." Jenny turned her head exaggeratedly, and the women next to her quickly pretended While she was busy, Jenny deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Mrs. Beveridge, don't tell me, or I won't be able to explain to Your Excellency the Viscount."

Upon hearing such a secret, the women immediately gathered their small circles to guess who Viscount Bruce Willie's new lover is. Also, could this Mrs. Hudson be the Mrs. Hudson who is good at mastering fashion?No wonder the Marchioness of Beveridge looks so good in her new dress... bulabulabula...  

The Marchioness of Beveridge covered her mouth with a fan, and her eyes were crescented with laughter, "Dear Mrs. Hudson, why did Willie mess with you?"

At this moment, Jenny regained her calm expression. She wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, and replied, "Probably because of his confidence that no woman will get angry with him."

The Marquis of Beveridge rolled her eyes and smiled at Jenny. The two of them felt a little confidant in this matter...

The Marchioness of Beveridge: It seems very interesting~

Without giving Bruce Willy a second chance, Jenny took a chance and ran away.After Bruce Willie escaped from the "besieged" group of women, he found that Jenny had disappeared into the ball. This handsome Viscount was so depressed—when would his behavior make women turn their heads? Running?

It didn't take long for Bruce Willie to discover something even more frustrating.The Marchioness of Beveridge seems to like Jenny very much, and she loves to take her with her wherever she goes, so that Bruce Willie can't find a little space to talk to Jenny.

That's fine.

I don't know why, these invited ladies seem to have a special interest in him...of course it's not Bruce Willy's narcissism, he feels like they want to ask him something, but they only tell him something Skirts, fashion, clothes, jewelry... these are all women's topics, okay?

Also, he felt that he hadn't said anything, but they left with a mysterious expression of "I see, I understand"...==...What the hell is going on?

The next day, the men all made an appointment to go horseback riding, and the women naturally followed suit.Jenny didn't plan to participate in horseback riding, and she didn't bring riding clothes. After breakfast, she decided to tell the Marchioness of Beveridge that she wasn't going.

Going up the stairs, Jenny was about to turn a corner, but suddenly heard two people talking in a low voice.Although the man's voice was lowered a lot, she recognized the voice of the Duke of Windsor, and the other woman's voice was the Marchioness of Beveridge.

Jenny sweated profusely, wondering if the Duke of Windsor spent the night next door to her, the room of the Marchioness of Beveridge yesterday?She didn't know anything, otherwise she wouldn't have encountered such embarrassing things now.Now that Jenny thinks about it, she always goes to the kitchen for breakfast at this time these days...so in fact, before she knew it, the Duke of Windsor secretly went to her next door every day...Damn it!

But she was taken aback, the conversation was over, Jenny was standing on the stairs, and there was no place to hide, she didn't think much, and immediately ran down the stairs with her skirt on her toes, and then turned sharply halfway up the stairs , walked up with a calm face.

Jenny thought that the Duke of Windsor would leave towards the other side, but unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, she happened to meet him coming down.Jenny froze for a moment, and saluted the Duke of Windsor as usual.

The Duke of Windsor seemed a little surprised to meet Jenny here, but he didn't pay much attention, just nodded slightly, and left straight away.

As Jenny walked slowly up the stairs, she considered and decided to go to the Marchioness of Beveridge as usual.Otherwise, as soon as you meet the Duke of Windsor here, you will avoid the Marchioness of Beveridge on the other side. Isn't it clear that you think they have ghosts?

"Mrs. Beveridge, I'm Jenny Hudson, may I come in?" Jenny knocked on the door, and it took a while to hear the voice of the Marchioness of Beveridge: "Come in."

Jenny opened the door and went in. The Marchioness of Beveridge was not as happy as she thought, but sat in the shadows melancholy.This made Jenny hesitate, wondering if it was a good time to talk, but they had already come in, and it seemed a bit late to retreat at this time.

But before Jenny could speak, it was the Marchioness of Beveridge who spoke first.She looked up at Jenny and said, "You know that, Mrs. Hudson?"

Jenny paused, pretending to be silly and asking, "I don't understand what you mean?"

The Marchioness of Beveridge said impatiently: "It's him, Windsor, didn't you see him just now?"

Jenny is really speechless. If the Duke of Windsor walked on the other side just now, she wouldn't be able to touch him at all, okay?Besides, shouldn't it be good to know this kind of thing, and to let it out so bluntly... is it really good? ?

Jenny had always been very liberal in her views on such matters.The Duke of Windsor is so much older than the Marchioness of Beveridge, and he and the Duchess are also married politically, and the relationship between husband and wife is average.Being able to be with the Marchioness of Beveridge for so many years is considered true love.

Since the Marquis Beveridge has maintained a relationship with the Duke of Windsor for so long, she naturally has feelings.

So Jenny said simply: "Madam is already an adult, she can naturally decide her own affairs, why should you care about other people's comments?"

The Marchioness of Beveridge looked at Jenny, who looked back indifferently.

The Marchioness of Beveridge looked at Jenny for a while, then suddenly gave a "pop" smile, stretched her waist and said, "Oh, dear Jenny, you are such a wonderful person, no wonder Willie likes you." Sometimes women's friendships are just so weird.

When it came to Bruce Willy, Jenny was very helpless. She didn't show it, and said indifferently: "It's not a bad thing for men to see setbacks in women when they are young."

I don't know what G-spot this sentence hit the Marquis of Beveridge again, and the branches of her laughter trembled.

The Marchioness of Beveridge: Give Willie some wax~

The Marchioness of Beveridge did not say until she had laughed enough, "It seems that Willy lost to Mr. Holmes~"

How did it involve Holmes? !Jenny 囧囧 thought about it.

I don't know when this gossip became widely known?

The Marquis of Beveridge really made a serious comparison, "Although Holmes is not as handsome, rich and prestigious as Willy, he is a good match for you. He looks like a reliable person, at least better than following Willy without a name."

... How do you say that I am getting married to that so-and-so?Oops

Speaking of this, the Marquis Beveridge was still a little bit lost, and she probably thought of herself again.But she soon cheered up and threw the fan away, "Let's go horseback riding, the weather is so nice today, it's a pity not to go horseback riding."

Wait, I'm just saying I'm not going~~

Jenny hurriedly stopped the Marchioness of Beveridge: "Ma'am, I won't go riding, I didn't bring riding clothes."

The Marquis of Beveridge was in a good mood. She stood up and opened the closet, and threw out a black riding suit, "This is for you. We are about the same height, so you should be able to wear it."

Jenny: "...but I..."

Marquise Beveridge: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to ride. I will find someone to teach you. Anyway, we don't compete, so we can ride slowly. We can also find a place with few people, so that no one will see you."

...so thoughtful, I am speechless...

Jenny stood at the door orz with her riding outfit for a long time, and resigned herself to going back to her room to go.
