[Comprehensive novel] Almighty Lydia

Chapter 37 Inverted V, Don't Buy After Seeing It

Since Mrs. Bennet heard that Collins' fiancée was Charlotte, she kept complaining at home why Elizabeth did not accept his marriage proposal.

And disregarding Elizabeth's mood, she mocked Charlotte's disrespectful behavior and unsightly appearance.

She has always disliked this daughter who is quite similar to Mr. Bennet, and Elizabeth's occasional rebuttal also aroused her disgust, which made her completely forget that Mary also rejected Collins' marriage proposal.

In addition, every time I babble, I will only get a reply of "Mom, I know, can you stop talking".

The conflict broke out very quickly, and Mrs. Bennet and Elizabeth quarreled, and it was out of control.

It really is a family battle.

Mrs. Bennet accused Elizabeth of being disobedient, stubborn, and thinking she was smart like a stubborn donkey, but she couldn't figure out the consequences of living in poverty if she didn't marry a good family.

At first, Elizabeth suppressed her anger and listened silently, until finally she couldn't take it anymore and blurted out, "I can't get married! I'm going to college!"

There was silence.

Mrs. Bennet froze. "Are you lying to me, Elizabeth?"

She leaned on the table, pleading in tone, her expression was indeed a bit pitiful.

This made Elizabeth even more determined.

"I'm serious, Mom." She said without a trace of sloppy, "I'm going to study in London."

Then things got worse.

On the father's side, the elder sister Jane supported Elizabeth, and for the sake of her most beloved little daughter, she rarely resolutely rejected Mrs. Bennet's cry of "engage her now!"

On the mother's side, Lydia and Kitty pulled her back to the room, and they kept persuading her not to be so angry.

"Your sister Elizabeth just inherited your father's stubborn temper and thinks she is smart, but in fact?" Mrs. Bennet rubbed her aching waist, "Lydia, you will listen to your mother, right? You Not like your sister, right?"

She completely ignored Kitty next to her, looking hopefully at her favorite and most like her little daughter, as if she was looking at the last straw, she tightly grabbed Lydia's sleeve .

"Of course, mother, of course," said Lydia reassuringly.

She pretended not to see the weird gazes cast by Mary and Kitty, and concentrated on embracing her mother, patting her on the back constantly.

Then Elizabeth's incident got muddled through...it's no wonder.

She refused her mother's overtures and redemption, packed her luggage by herself, booked a carriage, and set off from Longbourne Manor to her uncle's house in London.

Originally, there were five people going to London this time, and it was obvious that they could no longer stay at my uncle's house.

Fortunately, Uncle Gardner heard about this and prepared a rented house in advance for the five of them to rest.Elizabeth went early so that she could get acquainted with the surrounding environment first.

When the four sisters arrived, Lydia happened to see Elizabeth sitting on the rocking chair outside, concentrating on reading a book.

Seeing four people coming, she put down the book in surprise, and took their hands and walked into the small house.

The servant behind him was busy unloading luggage and cleaning.

After eating, the five held hands and took a walk nearby.

Lydia carefully looked at the small house on Courtney Street. The road was not as muddy as in the countryside, but clean and tidy.

The gentlemen and ladies who come in and out are also quite elegant in conversation and generous in demeanor.

"I heard that we have received an invitation from the Queen, and the owner of this house gave me a little discount." Seeing Lydia staring at the house curiously, Elizabeth explained to her with a smile, "There are celebrities and famous families around Courtney Avenue. I entered the social circle here through my aunt, so I can introduce you a little bit then."

Lydia looked at Elizabeth in surprise.

Elizabeth was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, "Lydia, what's wrong?"

She looked at her clothes, was there anything untidy?

"I was wondering why Lizzie, who always thought she was the smartest in the world, is so humble," Lydia joked.

But what Lydia didn't expect was that Elizabeth's face gradually turned red as she spoke.

Then no matter how she asked, Elizabeth remained silent.

Let’s let this little episode out first. When Lydia accidentally went shopping, she met a lady in a cloak.

She also seemed to be about the same age as Lydia, with a slender figure, not the plump beauty that is popular nowadays.

But this young lady is well-dressed, elegant and natural in every move, probably from a celebrity background, and her manners are well-bred.

Lydia met her eyes by chance, and knelt towards her, but unexpectedly, the young lady returned a half salute.

Lydia watched the lady who seemed to know her walk away with some doubts, but the system suddenly screamed.

[It's a protective cover! 】The system said excitedly,【The protective cover is on her body!Look at her right hand! 】

Lydia looked intently, and indeed on the right side of the young lady, she saw a group of fuzzy orange fur that was faintly exposed.

She didn't care about why the protective cover turned out to be a ball of fur, she lifted the hem of her skirt, and hurriedly caught up with the lady.

But she was stopped by the maid beside her.

The maid stretched out her arm seriously, blocking Lydia, "Miss, please wait a moment."

"Jane, I'm fine," Anne de Boer told the maid, and then turned to Lydia, "Miss, what do you want?"

Miss de Boer had just returned from the Queen's Palace to rest at her estate in Courtney Street.

She looked curiously at Lydia, who looked tall and lively in a black cloak and hat, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy.

This was the first time she had left the manor and met strangers of her age.

The prince is about the same age as her, but they still can't talk to each other, let alone those little carrot-headed princesses.

"Can I...be friends with you?"

"The thing in your right hand... can you show me?"

The two exited at the same time, and stopped at the same time.

"of course can."

The two said at the same time.

Lydia paused, and passed her hand to Miss De Boer first.

She smiled and said, "Then we'll be friends from now on. I'm Lydia Bennett, and you are...?"

"I'm Anne De Boer," Miss De Boer shook her hand, "Hello, Miss Bennet."

She showed something in her other hand.

It was a fluffy ball, which looked soft and easy to pinch.

"This is an amulet that suddenly fell in front of me," she showed it to Lydia. "It is engraved with Miss Bennet and the Arabic numeral 101. It may have been lost by a lady surnamed Bennet." .”

"Actually, I did lose this thing..." Lydia resisted the blame of throwing something a little embarrassed, "Can you return it to me? This is very important to me."

"Of course..." Miss de Boer looked at her with bright eyes, and was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
