Suffering from an indiscriminate disaster, Qiao Qiao rested at home for several days.After Betty woke up, she saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and Jojo was also relieved.
In the past few days, Mycroft will visit her at home every day.Well, with such an obvious situation, Jojo is no longer an innocent girl who doesn't understand anything.
But she really didn't think about getting involved in another marriage. If it was another man, she could still treat it as a lover, just as a relationship.It's easy to get together and break up. At most, we will give more compensation when we break up.But Mycroft, I'm afraid once it starts, the initiative will never be in her hands.
So, Jojo had no choice but to dodge some.Seeing that Mycroft was about to get off work, he went upstairs to rest.The gentlemanly Mycroft would never know that she would see her after the break.
"Mr. Holmes, I'm really sorry, the master has already rested." Betty felt a little timid in the face of this powerful Mr. Holmes.
But for the sake of the master, she must not back down.
Mycroft was not unhappy after being rejected, and this development did not exceed his expectations.I have known Lydia for a long time, what kind of person she is, and the plans in my heart are clear to McCoff.
"Betty, bring me a word to your master. Escape cannot solve the problem, let alone solve my problem. I know what she is worried about. I can let her see my sincerity through a conversation." Mai Kauf doesn't like to procrastinate like this, but all problems can only be solved in person.
Betty quickly nodded in agreement, she thought this Mr. Holmes was actually pretty good.The owner wants to be single now, but when he gets older, all the sisters will have children, and the owner regrets what to do.
Although Betty's own marriage was a disaster, she didn't have the idea that all men in the world were unreliable.This Mr. Holmes was definitely not of the same sort as her husband and Mr. Wycombe.
"Master, Mr. Holmes is a gentleman." Betty added after repeating what the gentleman asked her to bring.
Qiaoqiao naturally knew that McCoff was not that kind of unreliable man, but she really had no plans to remarry.And she's always had Mycroft as a friend, brother.I really never thought that the relationship between the two would change.
The secret she revealed in front of Mycroft was enough to get her into a whole lot of trouble.But because of this, she was more at ease with him.
Qiao Qiao knew that just as she trusted her, he was also protecting her.
"Forget it, it's not my style to escape, let him in next time he comes again."
But before Jojo saw McCoff, she received an urgent letter from Longborn.The letter said that Mr. Bennett had fallen from his horse, and his life was hanging by a thread, and asked Jojo to go back quickly.
After reading the letter, Jojo was not in the mood to worry about any relationship issues any more, and asked Betty to pack some daily necessities quickly.Prepare the carriage for Longborn.
"Lydia, in such a hurry, something happened?" Mycroft looked at Lydia who was standing at his door, dressed to go out.
"Mycroft, something happened to my dad. I have to go back to Longbourne immediately. I understand what you said, but I really don't have time to talk to you now. I mean, if you don't mind, wait I come back……"
"I'll go with you."
"What?" Jojo was confused.
"You're in such a hurry, the road is too dangerous. I'll go with you." Mycroft ordered John to pack his luggage after finishing speaking.
"What about your work?" What about the British government?
"It won't be a problem. I'll send someone to ask for a few days off." In fact, in his position, no one cares whether he goes to work on time every day.
The object of his service is the queen. When the queen needs something, he must be able to solve it for her in the first time.As for other matters in the department, the people below are not free to eat, and everything needs to be decided by him.
Although I always felt that there was something strange about it, Qiao Qiao didn't care so much now.There was no rejection of McCoff's offer.After the two packed up some necessary things, they got into the carriage and drove to Longborn.
After feeling Longborn in the dusty world, what Jojo saw was the chaotic Bennett's house.
"Mother?"
"Lydia! Oh, you're finally here, and your daddy's still awake. God!" Mrs. Bennet was visibly broken.She was supported by Catherine and a maid, and she was emaciated.Jojo hurried forward and helped Mrs. Bennet to a chair beside her.
Quietly felt her pulse, but fortunately, it was just that she was too sad and frightened.Feed her a pill.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go and see Dad first. Uh... this is my friend, Mr. Mycroft Holmes. Don't worry, I'm going on my way and will accompany me back." Jojo gave Mrs. Bennet and Others introduced Mycroft.
Catherine knew this gentleman, she saluted very politely, and then asked someone to pour tea for the guests first.
"Betty, you take care of the house, what does it look like in such a mess." Jojo was very dissatisfied with the chaos at home.But there is no housekeeper at home, and she doesn't know who to ask for accountability.
"Yes, master." Betty couldn't bear to see it anymore, and now that she had Jojo's order, she would naturally not be polite.
Qiaoqiao glanced at Mycroft, who was sitting drinking tea, and saw him nodding to her, so he didn't say anything, and went directly to Mr. Bennett's room.
Xun almost passed out as soon as he entered the door. How long has it been since the windows were opened for ventilation.
"Dad." Jojo came to Mr. Bennet's bed.Mr. Bennet was still asleep on the bed, with a gauze wrapped around his head.His complexion was very ugly, and his cheekbones were sunken, probably because he hadn't eaten for a long time.
Qiao Qiao felt her pulse and hurt her head, and she was at a loss for a while.She has potions that can be cured, but Mr. Bennet's current physical condition may not be able to bear such potions.
Qiao Qiao frowned, she thought for a while, and took out a recovery incense.Tucked under Mr. Bennet's pillow.I don't know if there are other injuries besides the brain.
Everything still has to wait for people to wake up first.
Jojo asked the maid to open the window for fresh air, went downstairs and saw McCoff, called Betty and told her to go to the hotel in the town to open a room.
"Clean up the room and replace the sheets with new ones. Did we bring new ones?"
Qiao Qiao has no trust in the hygienic conditions of hotels in this era.So she always has a new three-piece bed in the mezzanine of her carriage.Vacuum packed, doesn't take up much space.
"Bring it." Betty knew her master's clean habit.
"You take people there yourself."
"Yes."
"Lydia, how is your father?" Mrs. Bennet dared not go up to see her husband now.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll ask the doctor first. Let Catherine accompany you to rest for a while." Jojo comforted Mrs. Bennet.
"Which doctor is treating my father?" Jojo asked the maid.
"It's Dr. Oliver Drizzt of the town."
Qiao Qiao has never heard of this doctor, and Qiao Qiao has no confidence in the level of doctors today.But she always asks the doctor's diagnosis.
"Where is he?"
"This... Dr. Drizzt has gone back, he, he said that the master's injuries are too serious, and there is nothing he can do."
Jojo frowned, is this a doctor?
"I know Dr. Oulter Southgate, I'll send someone to ask him to come and have a look." Mycroft obviously heard what the maid said.
"Dr. Oulter Southgate? Isn't he dedicated to serving the royal family?"
"I have a little personal relationship with him." McCoff didn't say much.
"Alright, I can stabilize my father's condition first." Even if she can save someone, she still needs someone in front to cover her up.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Mycroft nodded, and immediately ordered his servants to go to London to invite someone.
Jojo saw Catherine going downstairs.
"Catherine, come here, what's going on? Dad hasn't ridden a horse for a long time since he got old. How could he ride a horse in the rain this time?"
"Yes, Mary."
"Mary?"
"There was news that Mary ran away and disappeared after giving birth to the child. Dad was anxious and wanted to go and see, but something happened before he ran out of Longbourn."
Jojo frowned, where could Mary escape to.It's really dangerous for a girl to be outside alone.
"I'll send someone to look for it," Mycroft said to Jojo.
Jojo nodded, of course it was the most convenient for McCoff to find someone.
"Catherine, you will be with your mother during this time, and I will take care of the family affairs."
"Well, Mom also wrote to Jane and Elizabeth, and they should be arriving soon."
Qiao Qiao nodded. The father's life and death were uncertain, so the daughter naturally wanted to come back.
"You go and ask the maid to clean up the house, and I will share a room with you." When Jane and Elizabeth came back, the room was about to be crowded.
"Ok."
Qiaoqiao looked at Catherine who was leaving, and walked towards the door.
"I thought I was the most troublesome and rebellious girl in this family." Neither the original owner nor Qiao Qiao followed the rules.Don't talk about the original owner, just Qiao Qiao, only she knows how many things she has done that do not conform to the rules of this era.
"You can handle all the trouble you create."
"That's true," Jojo smiled. She was confident that she could handle George Wycombe well, so she simply married him.She knew that she could find what she wanted in the United States, so she went to the other side of the ocean without hesitation.
"I just hope that I didn't give that silly girl Mary the illusion that the outside world is beautiful."
Mycroft didn't care about Mary at all. Most people in this world were goldfish without judgment.He was very curious, the Bennet family whose family is all goldfish, why there is a daughter like Lydia.
Of course he is not Sherlock, who knows what cannot be said and what must be done.
"I will send someone to watch the nearby pier. If she doesn't want to leave England, then there is a high probability of going to London. I will write to Sherlock. He has his own news network in London. As long as Miss Mary appears In London he must know."
Jojo also thought of the news network formed by Sherlock's street children.It would indeed be easier to find Mary than anyone else.
"Thank you, Mycroft." In just a short while, he had done her two big favors.
"You don't have to tell me thank you."
Jojo asked Betty to prepare the dinner herself. Although the ingredients were not rich, but with Betty's craftsmanship, even Mrs. Bennett ate a lot.
This made Jojo breathe a sigh of relief. Mrs. Bennet's health was also not good, and she had been giving birth continuously in her early years, which kept her body in a weak state.Only after Qiao Qiao came back did she give her some health-preserving pills to take care of her body.
Encountering such a thing now, all the previous recuperation was in vain.
After dinner, Jojo sent someone to send McCaw to the hotel for placement.
I went to see Mr. Bennet again.
"Dad? Dad, you're awake!" just in time to see Mr. Bennett open his eyes.
Naturally, Jojo called Mrs. Bennet and Catherine over immediately, went to pour a glass of warm water, and poured a little repair potion into it to dilute it.
Feed Mr. Bennet a small glass of water into it.
Seeing that his complexion improved a lot, Qiao Qiao also relaxed.
Seeing Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Bennet holding hands, it was rare for the couple to talk softly.Mrs. Bennet was not as loud as she used to be, and Mr. Bennet was not as impatient as before.
"Mom, Dad just woke up, don't be too tired, this is white porridge, you can feed Dad some."
Jojo gave Mrs. Bennet the porridge that had been cooked long ago, and asked her to take care of Mr. Bennet.He took Catherine and left first.
"Mom and Dad..."
"Young couples come to grow old together, and the only ones who can accompany them to old age are their partners." Qiao Qiao thinks that perhaps it is not a bad thing to accept McCoff.It's good to have someone to accompany you to grow old.
Early the next morning, the two carriages stopped at the Bennet House.
Jane and Elizabeth arrived, with Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy.
Jojo looked at Elizabeth's stomach, and immediately understood why Jane had been wronged so much last time, and Elizabeth didn't show up at all.You must know that Mr. Bingley wants to be able to live closer to Mr. Darcy.Instead of buying Netherfield, he bought a manor in Derbyshire.
It should be that Jane knew that Elizabeth was pregnant, so she didn't tell her about it. As for whether Mr. Darcy knew, Jojo didn't know.
As soon as Elizabeth arrived home, she began to ask Mr. Bennet anxiously.Jojo talked about it roughly, but the specifics will not be known until Dr. Oulter Southgate arrives for a diagnosis.
Darcy, who was supporting Elizabeth, glanced at Jojo when he heard the name of Dr. Oulter Southgate.
Jane and Elizabeth went to see Mr. Bennett, while Jojo prepared food for the four of them.This group of travel and dust rushed over, thinking about it, they didn't eat anything.It doesn't matter to others, Elizabeth is pregnant, it would be bad if she was hungry.
And Mr. Bennet's food, all prepared by Jojo.
At noon, Dr. Oulter Southgate and Mycroft came together.
Dr. Oulter Southgate gave Mr. Bennet a comprehensive examination, and then said that the head injury was a bit serious, but it seems to be recovering well so far, and it will be good to take care of him like this in the future.Medicines were also prescribed for Mr. Bennet to take.
"Of course, if there is any, I will still take the medicine that Mr. Bennet took before." Privately, this doctor Southgate said to Jojo and McCaw.
Qiaoqiao naturally knew the effect of his potion.Looking at each other with Mycroft, the two had a tacit understanding.
Jojo's medicine will then be given to Mr Bennet under the name of Dr Oulter Southgate.
"Lydia, it's really thanks to you." Elizabeth was also taken aback by the change of the youngest sister.I heard Jane talk about it before, but it was surprising that I didn't see it with my own eyes at all.The family is so well-organized, and my father is well taken care of. Looking at my mother, I know that I don't have the mood to care about these things.
"It's all what I should do. Dad's injury is stable, and he will recover slowly. But I have no news about Mary."
"Mary," Elizabeth frowned. She didn't know how the quiet third sister who liked to read books turned into such a girl who got pregnant before she was married.She had also wanted to see if there was a suitable gentleman to throw a ball for Mary and Lydia.But now, she was blaming Mary for making Dad suffer so much.And worried about what danger she would encounter outside.
"I asked William to send someone to look for it together."
"Dad needs someone to take care of his injuries. I'll stay and take care of Dad." As the eldest daughter, Jane can't do anything else, but taking care of her father is what she should do.Lizzie was pregnant, and Lydia, the youngest sister, had done enough for now.
"No, Jane, you still have four children at home. Charles and George are still young, and they can't do without you. Let me take care of Dad. Anyway, there is no shortage of maids in the house. I know it's good to watch some "Elizabeth is Mr. Bennet's favorite daughter, and she has the best relationship with Mr. Bennet.
"How about it, you are the mistress of the Darcy family, and you have to decide many things in the parish." Jane knew how busy Lizzie was.
"Okay, dear Jane and Elizabeth, let me do it. I have nothing to do in London. I can just stay with my parents in Longbourne." Jojo felt that he was the most free, without the constraints of family and children , wherever you want.
"No!" Jane objected immediately.
"Lydia, you are still young, and you should consider getting married when you meet a suitable gentleman."
"Yes, yes, what Jane said is correct, Lydia, is that Mr. Holmes pursuing you?" Elizabeth looked at the tall gentleman who was talking to her husband.
"Mycroft..."
"No matter what, don't lose your confidence in love because of a man like Wickham. Lydia, you deserve better."
Jojo: Excu color me?
In the end, Jane and Elizabeth were unwilling to let Jojo take care of Mr. Bennet, so the two of them discussed and allocated time.
Jojo's medicine has passed the way as Dr. Oulter Southgate's medicine.Jojo doesn't have to worry about Mr. Bennet anymore.
In the morning, Jojo was pushed out by Elizabeth to go out with McCoff.In fact, she wanted to say that McCoff didn't like sports at all, but seeing McCoff who had already invited him, Jojo could only hold his arm.
"I thought you didn't like sports."
"London is not suitable for outdoor sports."
Qiao Qiao glanced at the man beside him, and decided not to expose him.
"When are you going back to London?" Jojo's tone was unconsciously casual.
"There's no rush, Longbourn is not far from London, and if something really happens, I can go back soon."
Knowing that he was not disrespectful, Qiao Qiao didn't ask any more questions.After walking with him in the nearby woods for half an hour, I was ready to go back.
Everyone was in the living room that day, Jane and the others were playing cards, while Jojo and McCaw were playing chess.The living room was quiet, well, because of the assistance of the Bennett sisters these days, the relationship between Jojo and McCaw has also become closer.
"Master, Mr. and Mrs. Collins are here."
Betty's words revived the originally harmonious atmosphere of the living room.
"Please come in." For this cousin Collins, several sisters in the Bennet family did not like it.Jojo and Elizabeth looked at each other, both feeling a little toothache.
Jojo looked at Collins and Charlotte who walked in.The husband and wife were clearly separated, and Collins walked fast, ignoring his wife behind him at all.
"My cousins, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley. I heard that Mr. Bennet was seriously injured and died, so I asked Mrs. de Bourgh for leave to visit my uncle."
Qiao Qiao: Come on, beat this bastard out of me!
Charlotte watched her husband offend all the Miss Bennets with a single sentence, and wanted to knock him unconscious with a stick.
"Lizzie, how are you? I heard that you are pregnant and I am very worried." Charlotte said to Elizabeth with concern.
"I'm fine. Lydia gave me some pills to nourish the baby, and the effect is very good." Elizabeth will still give face to her friends.Although the friendship between the two was affected to a certain extent because of Collins' marriage.But Charlotte has deliberately repaired it over the years, but it has returned to the past.
"Lydia, long time no see, you've changed a lot. You're even more beautiful." Charlotte looked at the most beautiful lady here, who hadn't recognized Lydia before.
"Long time no see." Jojo nodded politely. She didn't have much friendship with Mrs. Collins.Seeing her appearance is much older than what I remember.
After being interrupted by Charlotte, the atmosphere in the room also eased.Jojo asked Betty to lead the Collins couple to meet Mr. Bennett.Mr. Bennet was awake at just this hour.
"This Mr. Collins is the man who will succeed Longbourn?"
"That's right." Jojo got up and gave McCaw a cup of black tea.
"Stupid."
"In your eyes, no one is stupid, my very clever Mr. Holmes." Jojo glanced at Mycroft's head.Proud of my dispensing skills once again.
"There is no dumbest, only stupider." The goldfish in this world can always refresh his cognition.
When Collins reappeared in the living room, the disappointment on his face made Elizabeth almost rush forward to punch him.
Mr. Darcy's perennially cold face is also full of unhappiness.
Collins had always been very respectful, or rather servile, to Mrs. de Bourgh's nephew, Mr. Darcy.After realizing Darcy's dissatisfaction, Collins immediately restrained the expression on his face, and then walked towards Mr. Darcy.
Jojo can assure you that she saw Darcy take a small step back.
Not wanting to hear Collins' frank and goosebump flattery, Jojo dragged Mycroft out the door.
"Mycroft, do you think there is any way to prevent this Mr. Collins from inheriting Longbourne?" Such a person inheriting Longbourn, even if Jojo doesn't care about this family business, it is really disgusting.
"According to the law, no. You can find out if there are any relatives who are closer than Collins. Could it be that Bennett has only one son for several generations?" In this era of unlimited births, there should not be many such situations.
"I don't know about this. Dad never mentioned his relatives. You can find an opportunity to ask. It is much better to give it to a stranger than to Collins." What did he mean just now? It was a disappointment in the class Is Mr. Te still alive?
"I'm going back to London tomorrow." Mycroft said suddenly.
"Huh?" Qiao Qiao was taken aback, and looked up.
"The conversation between us can be placed after you return to London, and I will show you my sincerity, Lydia." Mycroft leaned over and placed a kiss on Jojo's forehead.
After seeing off Mycroft, Jojo suddenly felt a lot bored.A few days later, Jane and Bingley also went back first.Elizabeth and Darcy were left at home.
On this day, Jojo received a letter from McCaw, saying that Mary had found it.
"Where is she?" Elizabeth asked anxiously.How could a girl be outside for a long time without hearing from her? She was also very anxious.
"In London, Mycroft said she was caught in London by an organization that specialized in human trafficking."
"God, Mary, she, is she okay?" Elizabeth covered her mouth, she was no longer a girl from a squire who knew nothing.The Darcy family has a high reputation in Derbyshire, and she will know what happened in the parish.She will also participate in matters related to women and children.
A girl from the country went to a big city to work as a maid, but was tricked into being a prostitute.And if you go out and get caught, you won't be able to find them again.Elizabeth had heard and seen a great deal.Now such a thing happened to her own sister, how could she accept it.
"How can it be okay to be captured by those people?"
"Then what should we do now? Dad can't be stimulated in such a situation."
"Mary can't go back to Longbourn. Everyone here knows her, and we don't care if we see anything, but Catherine is not married yet. And I'm afraid Mary herself won't come back."
"You're right, Lydia, you decide, if you need help, I'll ask William to help." Elizabeth said.
"The current situation in the United States is very chaotic, so it cannot be sent to the United States. I heard that Darcy has property in India, why not let her go to India. When the news passes, we will say that Mary is married, and it will be better to come back at that time." Whatever happens, we can handle it ourselves.”
"Okay." Elizabeth nodded, this is the best way to deal with it.
"Ask her, if she is willing to take away her child, we can also let her take it away. When the time comes, this child can also have the reputation of being a legitimate child."
Although illegitimate children in this era accounted for about 5.00% to about seven births.But the fact that illegitimate children are not honorable has never changed.A child is innocent, and if there is a chance, always give him a better background.
Elizabeth also agrees that she is already a mother of two children, and there is one more in her belly. Being a mother is always more tolerant of children.
"I'll pay for her living expenses over there."
"How can this work?" Elizabeth disagreed.
"Lizzie, listen to me. I have a lot of money in America. It's all my own, and I can use it as I like. I know you don't need money, but Darcy gave it to you." .It is natural for him to give you money, but Mary is not his obligation."
"That's not your obligation either. You are a younger sister. There is no reason for younger sisters to raise older sisters."
"Lizzie, that money means nothing to me."
"Things can't be calculated like this, Lydia, we can't hide the matter of sending Mary away from Dad. Let's listen to what Dad has to say first."
Jojo had no choice but to nod in agreement with the stubborn Elizabeth.
"Lydia, Lizzie is right. Mary is not your obligation, but mine." Mr. Bennet's situation is much better now.Although still unable to move, but at least the consciousness is clear.Mrs. Bennet sat on the edge of the bed and said nothing.
"I agree to send Mary to India, and I will bear all the expenses. Tell Darcy to arrange a job for her there. Even if it is me, it is impossible for her to support her life. She will still have to live in her own life in the future She lives on her own. You have done enough for her as sisters."
"dad?"
"Lydia, Dad knows that you have money, but the money didn't fall from the sky. I didn't give you an extra pound for the dowry of 1000 pounds for each of your five sisters, and naturally I couldn't let you spend an extra pound. You are the most capable of your sisters. Papa only hopes that one day, if your sisters are really in trouble, you will be able to give them a hand." Mr. Bennet pleaded.
"I will, Dad." Jojo promised.
"Father, are there no other offspring of the Bennet family besides us?"
"Ok?"
"I just feel that Mr. Collins doesn't have enough character, and letting him inherit Longbourn is a bit of a shame to his ancestors."
Jojo spoke seriously, and Elizabeth, who was listening, nodded in agreement.
"It appears that you all dislike Mr Collins."
"Who would like this gentleman except Mrs. de Bourgh?" Elizabeth was full of disgust.
"I am the only son in the family, but your grandfather has a younger brother. It has been a long time since I went out to make a fortune in the early years." The eldest son inheritance system, the second son cannot inherit much, so basically you need to go out by yourself if you want to live well struggle.
"Then do you know the approximate place to go?" No matter what, I always have to look for it.
"They said they went to Scotland, but we haven't contacted each other for many years, and I don't know if there are any descendants left behind." The Bennett family has never had many males.
Qiao Qiao wrote it down and planned to send someone to look for it in the future.If I can find it, I'll see the character in due time, and if it's good then Longbourn has nothing to do with Collins.
Seeing that Mr. Bennet looked tired, the two sisters came out immediately.
"Seeing how you mentioned Mrs. de Bourgh just now, why is your relationship with her still not good?" Jojo pulled Elizabeth to his room.
"Don't mention it, if I hadn't been pregnant this time, William probably wouldn't have come with me."
"what happened?"
"Miss de Bauer is not in good health. Mrs. de Bauer often asks William to go to Rosings Manor to take care of their property. The last time I gave birth, he didn't catch up. We had a big fight. Recently, De Bauer Mrs. Hall wants William to go to Rosings Manor. I really don’t understand, she is not only William’s nephew, but there are several cousins in the Fitzwilliam family, why it must be William.”
"Probably because Darcy is the only one who will not covet their property."
"That's really thankful for their affirmation. This is not a very demanding job. Lydia, you know that if Miss de Bourgh...then the entire Rosings manor will be taken over by other members of the de Bourgh family. How much will William's involvement in the internal affairs of the de Bourgh family have on his reputation?"
"I know you are thinking about him, but Mrs. de Bourgh is his aunt after all. If he thinks he can afford these costs, then you don't object. Think about it if your children don't help Jane and her Will you be sad, child?"
"Oh~" Elizabeth substituted for Jojo and found out that she would be very sad.
"Well, Lydia, you're right."
Jojo smiled: "I think you don't like Mrs. de Bourgh, maybe it's because she matched Miss de Bourgh and Mr. Darcy before."
This is also a very normal thing, who would like a person who has sold his daughter to his husband.
Elizabeth was a little embarrassed.
"And you? How is that Mr. Holmes? This time he is helping."
"Mycroft? Very well, everything depends on God's arrangement. What's mine will always be mine."
"Lydia, when did you become a philosopher? Everyone can see that gentleman's affection for you. Lydia, this is really great. When you and Wycombe went to America, I really It's very worrying."
Elizabeth stroked Jojo's hair.
Qiao Qiao was about to say something when there was a noise downstairs.The two sisters looked at each other and hurried downstairs.
"what happened?"
"Master, Mr. Collins went to the farm and found the workers slacking off. Mr. Collins is going to fire those people."
Both Jojo and Elizabeth showed anger in their eyes, how could there be such shameless people in the world.
"Quiet!" Qiao Qiao directly used some mental coercion.
Those who calmed down saw Qiao Qiao with an ugly face and extremely low air pressure.For a moment no one dared to speak.
"Mr. Collins, I think you are here to see the patient. Don't you know that the patient needs to rest quietly. What do you mean by being noisy here?"
"Cousin Lydia..."
"Shut up! Mr. Collins, I think greed is one of the seven deadly sins. As a priest, even if you can't do it in your heart, you should at least restrain yourself on the surface."
"I do not have……"
"Before my father returns to the embrace of the Lord, everything here is still named Bennett. Mr. Collins should have some patience. Now we have to deal with the Bennett family, Betty, please leave Mr. Collins."
"Yes, Master."
Ignoring Collins who was being pulled away, Jojo looked at the farm workers.
"It's not been a day or two for you to work at Bennett's house. You know how your father treats you. This is the last time. If you are caught again, then I will invite you to go home and eat your own." Qiao Qiao's tone was indifferent and cold.The workers were so frightened that they said that there would be no next time.
"Lydia, you really have changed a lot." Elizabeth clicked her tongue. The farce was dealt with in less than 10 minutes.

In the past few days, Mycroft will visit her at home every day.Well, with such an obvious situation, Jojo is no longer an innocent girl who doesn't understand anything.
But she really didn't think about getting involved in another marriage. If it was another man, she could still treat it as a lover, just as a relationship.It's easy to get together and break up. At most, we will give more compensation when we break up.But Mycroft, I'm afraid once it starts, the initiative will never be in her hands.
So, Jojo had no choice but to dodge some.Seeing that Mycroft was about to get off work, he went upstairs to rest.The gentlemanly Mycroft would never know that she would see her after the break.
"Mr. Holmes, I'm really sorry, the master has already rested." Betty felt a little timid in the face of this powerful Mr. Holmes.
But for the sake of the master, she must not back down.
Mycroft was not unhappy after being rejected, and this development did not exceed his expectations.I have known Lydia for a long time, what kind of person she is, and the plans in my heart are clear to McCoff.
"Betty, bring me a word to your master. Escape cannot solve the problem, let alone solve my problem. I know what she is worried about. I can let her see my sincerity through a conversation." Mai Kauf doesn't like to procrastinate like this, but all problems can only be solved in person.
Betty quickly nodded in agreement, she thought this Mr. Holmes was actually pretty good.The owner wants to be single now, but when he gets older, all the sisters will have children, and the owner regrets what to do.
Although Betty's own marriage was a disaster, she didn't have the idea that all men in the world were unreliable.This Mr. Holmes was definitely not of the same sort as her husband and Mr. Wycombe.
"Master, Mr. Holmes is a gentleman." Betty added after repeating what the gentleman asked her to bring.
Qiaoqiao naturally knew that McCoff was not that kind of unreliable man, but she really had no plans to remarry.And she's always had Mycroft as a friend, brother.I really never thought that the relationship between the two would change.
The secret she revealed in front of Mycroft was enough to get her into a whole lot of trouble.But because of this, she was more at ease with him.
Qiao Qiao knew that just as she trusted her, he was also protecting her.
"Forget it, it's not my style to escape, let him in next time he comes again."
But before Jojo saw McCoff, she received an urgent letter from Longborn.The letter said that Mr. Bennett had fallen from his horse, and his life was hanging by a thread, and asked Jojo to go back quickly.
After reading the letter, Jojo was not in the mood to worry about any relationship issues any more, and asked Betty to pack some daily necessities quickly.Prepare the carriage for Longborn.
"Lydia, in such a hurry, something happened?" Mycroft looked at Lydia who was standing at his door, dressed to go out.
"Mycroft, something happened to my dad. I have to go back to Longbourne immediately. I understand what you said, but I really don't have time to talk to you now. I mean, if you don't mind, wait I come back……"
"I'll go with you."
"What?" Jojo was confused.
"You're in such a hurry, the road is too dangerous. I'll go with you." Mycroft ordered John to pack his luggage after finishing speaking.
"What about your work?" What about the British government?
"It won't be a problem. I'll send someone to ask for a few days off." In fact, in his position, no one cares whether he goes to work on time every day.
The object of his service is the queen. When the queen needs something, he must be able to solve it for her in the first time.As for other matters in the department, the people below are not free to eat, and everything needs to be decided by him.
Although I always felt that there was something strange about it, Qiao Qiao didn't care so much now.There was no rejection of McCoff's offer.After the two packed up some necessary things, they got into the carriage and drove to Longborn.
After feeling Longborn in the dusty world, what Jojo saw was the chaotic Bennett's house.
"Mother?"
"Lydia! Oh, you're finally here, and your daddy's still awake. God!" Mrs. Bennet was visibly broken.She was supported by Catherine and a maid, and she was emaciated.Jojo hurried forward and helped Mrs. Bennet to a chair beside her.
Quietly felt her pulse, but fortunately, it was just that she was too sad and frightened.Feed her a pill.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go and see Dad first. Uh... this is my friend, Mr. Mycroft Holmes. Don't worry, I'm going on my way and will accompany me back." Jojo gave Mrs. Bennet and Others introduced Mycroft.
Catherine knew this gentleman, she saluted very politely, and then asked someone to pour tea for the guests first.
"Betty, you take care of the house, what does it look like in such a mess." Jojo was very dissatisfied with the chaos at home.But there is no housekeeper at home, and she doesn't know who to ask for accountability.
"Yes, master." Betty couldn't bear to see it anymore, and now that she had Jojo's order, she would naturally not be polite.
Qiaoqiao glanced at Mycroft, who was sitting drinking tea, and saw him nodding to her, so he didn't say anything, and went directly to Mr. Bennett's room.
Xun almost passed out as soon as he entered the door. How long has it been since the windows were opened for ventilation.
"Dad." Jojo came to Mr. Bennet's bed.Mr. Bennet was still asleep on the bed, with a gauze wrapped around his head.His complexion was very ugly, and his cheekbones were sunken, probably because he hadn't eaten for a long time.
Qiao Qiao felt her pulse and hurt her head, and she was at a loss for a while.She has potions that can be cured, but Mr. Bennet's current physical condition may not be able to bear such potions.
Qiao Qiao frowned, she thought for a while, and took out a recovery incense.Tucked under Mr. Bennet's pillow.I don't know if there are other injuries besides the brain.
Everything still has to wait for people to wake up first.
Jojo asked the maid to open the window for fresh air, went downstairs and saw McCoff, called Betty and told her to go to the hotel in the town to open a room.
"Clean up the room and replace the sheets with new ones. Did we bring new ones?"
Qiao Qiao has no trust in the hygienic conditions of hotels in this era.So she always has a new three-piece bed in the mezzanine of her carriage.Vacuum packed, doesn't take up much space.
"Bring it." Betty knew her master's clean habit.
"You take people there yourself."
"Yes."
"Lydia, how is your father?" Mrs. Bennet dared not go up to see her husband now.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll ask the doctor first. Let Catherine accompany you to rest for a while." Jojo comforted Mrs. Bennet.
"Which doctor is treating my father?" Jojo asked the maid.
"It's Dr. Oliver Drizzt of the town."
Qiao Qiao has never heard of this doctor, and Qiao Qiao has no confidence in the level of doctors today.But she always asks the doctor's diagnosis.
"Where is he?"
"This... Dr. Drizzt has gone back, he, he said that the master's injuries are too serious, and there is nothing he can do."
Jojo frowned, is this a doctor?
"I know Dr. Oulter Southgate, I'll send someone to ask him to come and have a look." Mycroft obviously heard what the maid said.
"Dr. Oulter Southgate? Isn't he dedicated to serving the royal family?"
"I have a little personal relationship with him." McCoff didn't say much.
"Alright, I can stabilize my father's condition first." Even if she can save someone, she still needs someone in front to cover her up.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Mycroft nodded, and immediately ordered his servants to go to London to invite someone.
Jojo saw Catherine going downstairs.
"Catherine, come here, what's going on? Dad hasn't ridden a horse for a long time since he got old. How could he ride a horse in the rain this time?"
"Yes, Mary."
"Mary?"
"There was news that Mary ran away and disappeared after giving birth to the child. Dad was anxious and wanted to go and see, but something happened before he ran out of Longbourn."
Jojo frowned, where could Mary escape to.It's really dangerous for a girl to be outside alone.
"I'll send someone to look for it," Mycroft said to Jojo.
Jojo nodded, of course it was the most convenient for McCoff to find someone.
"Catherine, you will be with your mother during this time, and I will take care of the family affairs."
"Well, Mom also wrote to Jane and Elizabeth, and they should be arriving soon."
Qiao Qiao nodded. The father's life and death were uncertain, so the daughter naturally wanted to come back.
"You go and ask the maid to clean up the house, and I will share a room with you." When Jane and Elizabeth came back, the room was about to be crowded.
"Ok."
Qiaoqiao looked at Catherine who was leaving, and walked towards the door.
"I thought I was the most troublesome and rebellious girl in this family." Neither the original owner nor Qiao Qiao followed the rules.Don't talk about the original owner, just Qiao Qiao, only she knows how many things she has done that do not conform to the rules of this era.
"You can handle all the trouble you create."
"That's true," Jojo smiled. She was confident that she could handle George Wycombe well, so she simply married him.She knew that she could find what she wanted in the United States, so she went to the other side of the ocean without hesitation.
"I just hope that I didn't give that silly girl Mary the illusion that the outside world is beautiful."
Mycroft didn't care about Mary at all. Most people in this world were goldfish without judgment.He was very curious, the Bennet family whose family is all goldfish, why there is a daughter like Lydia.
Of course he is not Sherlock, who knows what cannot be said and what must be done.
"I will send someone to watch the nearby pier. If she doesn't want to leave England, then there is a high probability of going to London. I will write to Sherlock. He has his own news network in London. As long as Miss Mary appears In London he must know."
Jojo also thought of the news network formed by Sherlock's street children.It would indeed be easier to find Mary than anyone else.
"Thank you, Mycroft." In just a short while, he had done her two big favors.
"You don't have to tell me thank you."
Jojo asked Betty to prepare the dinner herself. Although the ingredients were not rich, but with Betty's craftsmanship, even Mrs. Bennett ate a lot.
This made Jojo breathe a sigh of relief. Mrs. Bennet's health was also not good, and she had been giving birth continuously in her early years, which kept her body in a weak state.Only after Qiao Qiao came back did she give her some health-preserving pills to take care of her body.
Encountering such a thing now, all the previous recuperation was in vain.
After dinner, Jojo sent someone to send McCaw to the hotel for placement.
I went to see Mr. Bennet again.
"Dad? Dad, you're awake!" just in time to see Mr. Bennett open his eyes.
Naturally, Jojo called Mrs. Bennet and Catherine over immediately, went to pour a glass of warm water, and poured a little repair potion into it to dilute it.
Feed Mr. Bennet a small glass of water into it.
Seeing that his complexion improved a lot, Qiao Qiao also relaxed.
Seeing Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Bennet holding hands, it was rare for the couple to talk softly.Mrs. Bennet was not as loud as she used to be, and Mr. Bennet was not as impatient as before.
"Mom, Dad just woke up, don't be too tired, this is white porridge, you can feed Dad some."
Jojo gave Mrs. Bennet the porridge that had been cooked long ago, and asked her to take care of Mr. Bennet.He took Catherine and left first.
"Mom and Dad..."
"Young couples come to grow old together, and the only ones who can accompany them to old age are their partners." Qiao Qiao thinks that perhaps it is not a bad thing to accept McCoff.It's good to have someone to accompany you to grow old.
Early the next morning, the two carriages stopped at the Bennet House.
Jane and Elizabeth arrived, with Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy.
Jojo looked at Elizabeth's stomach, and immediately understood why Jane had been wronged so much last time, and Elizabeth didn't show up at all.You must know that Mr. Bingley wants to be able to live closer to Mr. Darcy.Instead of buying Netherfield, he bought a manor in Derbyshire.
It should be that Jane knew that Elizabeth was pregnant, so she didn't tell her about it. As for whether Mr. Darcy knew, Jojo didn't know.
As soon as Elizabeth arrived home, she began to ask Mr. Bennet anxiously.Jojo talked about it roughly, but the specifics will not be known until Dr. Oulter Southgate arrives for a diagnosis.
Darcy, who was supporting Elizabeth, glanced at Jojo when he heard the name of Dr. Oulter Southgate.
Jane and Elizabeth went to see Mr. Bennett, while Jojo prepared food for the four of them.This group of travel and dust rushed over, thinking about it, they didn't eat anything.It doesn't matter to others, Elizabeth is pregnant, it would be bad if she was hungry.
And Mr. Bennet's food, all prepared by Jojo.
At noon, Dr. Oulter Southgate and Mycroft came together.
Dr. Oulter Southgate gave Mr. Bennet a comprehensive examination, and then said that the head injury was a bit serious, but it seems to be recovering well so far, and it will be good to take care of him like this in the future.Medicines were also prescribed for Mr. Bennet to take.
"Of course, if there is any, I will still take the medicine that Mr. Bennet took before." Privately, this doctor Southgate said to Jojo and McCaw.
Qiaoqiao naturally knew the effect of his potion.Looking at each other with Mycroft, the two had a tacit understanding.
Jojo's medicine will then be given to Mr Bennet under the name of Dr Oulter Southgate.
"Lydia, it's really thanks to you." Elizabeth was also taken aback by the change of the youngest sister.I heard Jane talk about it before, but it was surprising that I didn't see it with my own eyes at all.The family is so well-organized, and my father is well taken care of. Looking at my mother, I know that I don't have the mood to care about these things.
"It's all what I should do. Dad's injury is stable, and he will recover slowly. But I have no news about Mary."
"Mary," Elizabeth frowned. She didn't know how the quiet third sister who liked to read books turned into such a girl who got pregnant before she was married.She had also wanted to see if there was a suitable gentleman to throw a ball for Mary and Lydia.But now, she was blaming Mary for making Dad suffer so much.And worried about what danger she would encounter outside.
"I asked William to send someone to look for it together."
"Dad needs someone to take care of his injuries. I'll stay and take care of Dad." As the eldest daughter, Jane can't do anything else, but taking care of her father is what she should do.Lizzie was pregnant, and Lydia, the youngest sister, had done enough for now.
"No, Jane, you still have four children at home. Charles and George are still young, and they can't do without you. Let me take care of Dad. Anyway, there is no shortage of maids in the house. I know it's good to watch some "Elizabeth is Mr. Bennet's favorite daughter, and she has the best relationship with Mr. Bennet.
"How about it, you are the mistress of the Darcy family, and you have to decide many things in the parish." Jane knew how busy Lizzie was.
"Okay, dear Jane and Elizabeth, let me do it. I have nothing to do in London. I can just stay with my parents in Longbourne." Jojo felt that he was the most free, without the constraints of family and children , wherever you want.
"No!" Jane objected immediately.
"Lydia, you are still young, and you should consider getting married when you meet a suitable gentleman."
"Yes, yes, what Jane said is correct, Lydia, is that Mr. Holmes pursuing you?" Elizabeth looked at the tall gentleman who was talking to her husband.
"Mycroft..."
"No matter what, don't lose your confidence in love because of a man like Wickham. Lydia, you deserve better."
Jojo: Excu color me?
In the end, Jane and Elizabeth were unwilling to let Jojo take care of Mr. Bennet, so the two of them discussed and allocated time.
Jojo's medicine has passed the way as Dr. Oulter Southgate's medicine.Jojo doesn't have to worry about Mr. Bennet anymore.
In the morning, Jojo was pushed out by Elizabeth to go out with McCoff.In fact, she wanted to say that McCoff didn't like sports at all, but seeing McCoff who had already invited him, Jojo could only hold his arm.
"I thought you didn't like sports."
"London is not suitable for outdoor sports."
Qiao Qiao glanced at the man beside him, and decided not to expose him.
"When are you going back to London?" Jojo's tone was unconsciously casual.
"There's no rush, Longbourn is not far from London, and if something really happens, I can go back soon."
Knowing that he was not disrespectful, Qiao Qiao didn't ask any more questions.After walking with him in the nearby woods for half an hour, I was ready to go back.
Everyone was in the living room that day, Jane and the others were playing cards, while Jojo and McCaw were playing chess.The living room was quiet, well, because of the assistance of the Bennett sisters these days, the relationship between Jojo and McCaw has also become closer.
"Master, Mr. and Mrs. Collins are here."
Betty's words revived the originally harmonious atmosphere of the living room.
"Please come in." For this cousin Collins, several sisters in the Bennet family did not like it.Jojo and Elizabeth looked at each other, both feeling a little toothache.
Jojo looked at Collins and Charlotte who walked in.The husband and wife were clearly separated, and Collins walked fast, ignoring his wife behind him at all.
"My cousins, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley. I heard that Mr. Bennet was seriously injured and died, so I asked Mrs. de Bourgh for leave to visit my uncle."
Qiao Qiao: Come on, beat this bastard out of me!
Charlotte watched her husband offend all the Miss Bennets with a single sentence, and wanted to knock him unconscious with a stick.
"Lizzie, how are you? I heard that you are pregnant and I am very worried." Charlotte said to Elizabeth with concern.
"I'm fine. Lydia gave me some pills to nourish the baby, and the effect is very good." Elizabeth will still give face to her friends.Although the friendship between the two was affected to a certain extent because of Collins' marriage.But Charlotte has deliberately repaired it over the years, but it has returned to the past.
"Lydia, long time no see, you've changed a lot. You're even more beautiful." Charlotte looked at the most beautiful lady here, who hadn't recognized Lydia before.
"Long time no see." Jojo nodded politely. She didn't have much friendship with Mrs. Collins.Seeing her appearance is much older than what I remember.
After being interrupted by Charlotte, the atmosphere in the room also eased.Jojo asked Betty to lead the Collins couple to meet Mr. Bennett.Mr. Bennet was awake at just this hour.
"This Mr. Collins is the man who will succeed Longbourn?"
"That's right." Jojo got up and gave McCaw a cup of black tea.
"Stupid."
"In your eyes, no one is stupid, my very clever Mr. Holmes." Jojo glanced at Mycroft's head.Proud of my dispensing skills once again.
"There is no dumbest, only stupider." The goldfish in this world can always refresh his cognition.
When Collins reappeared in the living room, the disappointment on his face made Elizabeth almost rush forward to punch him.
Mr. Darcy's perennially cold face is also full of unhappiness.
Collins had always been very respectful, or rather servile, to Mrs. de Bourgh's nephew, Mr. Darcy.After realizing Darcy's dissatisfaction, Collins immediately restrained the expression on his face, and then walked towards Mr. Darcy.
Jojo can assure you that she saw Darcy take a small step back.
Not wanting to hear Collins' frank and goosebump flattery, Jojo dragged Mycroft out the door.
"Mycroft, do you think there is any way to prevent this Mr. Collins from inheriting Longbourne?" Such a person inheriting Longbourn, even if Jojo doesn't care about this family business, it is really disgusting.
"According to the law, no. You can find out if there are any relatives who are closer than Collins. Could it be that Bennett has only one son for several generations?" In this era of unlimited births, there should not be many such situations.
"I don't know about this. Dad never mentioned his relatives. You can find an opportunity to ask. It is much better to give it to a stranger than to Collins." What did he mean just now? It was a disappointment in the class Is Mr. Te still alive?
"I'm going back to London tomorrow." Mycroft said suddenly.
"Huh?" Qiao Qiao was taken aback, and looked up.
"The conversation between us can be placed after you return to London, and I will show you my sincerity, Lydia." Mycroft leaned over and placed a kiss on Jojo's forehead.
After seeing off Mycroft, Jojo suddenly felt a lot bored.A few days later, Jane and Bingley also went back first.Elizabeth and Darcy were left at home.
On this day, Jojo received a letter from McCaw, saying that Mary had found it.
"Where is she?" Elizabeth asked anxiously.How could a girl be outside for a long time without hearing from her? She was also very anxious.
"In London, Mycroft said she was caught in London by an organization that specialized in human trafficking."
"God, Mary, she, is she okay?" Elizabeth covered her mouth, she was no longer a girl from a squire who knew nothing.The Darcy family has a high reputation in Derbyshire, and she will know what happened in the parish.She will also participate in matters related to women and children.
A girl from the country went to a big city to work as a maid, but was tricked into being a prostitute.And if you go out and get caught, you won't be able to find them again.Elizabeth had heard and seen a great deal.Now such a thing happened to her own sister, how could she accept it.
"How can it be okay to be captured by those people?"
"Then what should we do now? Dad can't be stimulated in such a situation."
"Mary can't go back to Longbourn. Everyone here knows her, and we don't care if we see anything, but Catherine is not married yet. And I'm afraid Mary herself won't come back."
"You're right, Lydia, you decide, if you need help, I'll ask William to help." Elizabeth said.
"The current situation in the United States is very chaotic, so it cannot be sent to the United States. I heard that Darcy has property in India, why not let her go to India. When the news passes, we will say that Mary is married, and it will be better to come back at that time." Whatever happens, we can handle it ourselves.”
"Okay." Elizabeth nodded, this is the best way to deal with it.
"Ask her, if she is willing to take away her child, we can also let her take it away. When the time comes, this child can also have the reputation of being a legitimate child."
Although illegitimate children in this era accounted for about 5.00% to about seven births.But the fact that illegitimate children are not honorable has never changed.A child is innocent, and if there is a chance, always give him a better background.
Elizabeth also agrees that she is already a mother of two children, and there is one more in her belly. Being a mother is always more tolerant of children.
"I'll pay for her living expenses over there."
"How can this work?" Elizabeth disagreed.
"Lizzie, listen to me. I have a lot of money in America. It's all my own, and I can use it as I like. I know you don't need money, but Darcy gave it to you." .It is natural for him to give you money, but Mary is not his obligation."
"That's not your obligation either. You are a younger sister. There is no reason for younger sisters to raise older sisters."
"Lizzie, that money means nothing to me."
"Things can't be calculated like this, Lydia, we can't hide the matter of sending Mary away from Dad. Let's listen to what Dad has to say first."
Jojo had no choice but to nod in agreement with the stubborn Elizabeth.
"Lydia, Lizzie is right. Mary is not your obligation, but mine." Mr. Bennet's situation is much better now.Although still unable to move, but at least the consciousness is clear.Mrs. Bennet sat on the edge of the bed and said nothing.
"I agree to send Mary to India, and I will bear all the expenses. Tell Darcy to arrange a job for her there. Even if it is me, it is impossible for her to support her life. She will still have to live in her own life in the future She lives on her own. You have done enough for her as sisters."
"dad?"
"Lydia, Dad knows that you have money, but the money didn't fall from the sky. I didn't give you an extra pound for the dowry of 1000 pounds for each of your five sisters, and naturally I couldn't let you spend an extra pound. You are the most capable of your sisters. Papa only hopes that one day, if your sisters are really in trouble, you will be able to give them a hand." Mr. Bennet pleaded.
"I will, Dad." Jojo promised.
"Father, are there no other offspring of the Bennet family besides us?"
"Ok?"
"I just feel that Mr. Collins doesn't have enough character, and letting him inherit Longbourn is a bit of a shame to his ancestors."
Jojo spoke seriously, and Elizabeth, who was listening, nodded in agreement.
"It appears that you all dislike Mr Collins."
"Who would like this gentleman except Mrs. de Bourgh?" Elizabeth was full of disgust.
"I am the only son in the family, but your grandfather has a younger brother. It has been a long time since I went out to make a fortune in the early years." The eldest son inheritance system, the second son cannot inherit much, so basically you need to go out by yourself if you want to live well struggle.
"Then do you know the approximate place to go?" No matter what, I always have to look for it.
"They said they went to Scotland, but we haven't contacted each other for many years, and I don't know if there are any descendants left behind." The Bennett family has never had many males.
Qiao Qiao wrote it down and planned to send someone to look for it in the future.If I can find it, I'll see the character in due time, and if it's good then Longbourn has nothing to do with Collins.
Seeing that Mr. Bennet looked tired, the two sisters came out immediately.
"Seeing how you mentioned Mrs. de Bourgh just now, why is your relationship with her still not good?" Jojo pulled Elizabeth to his room.
"Don't mention it, if I hadn't been pregnant this time, William probably wouldn't have come with me."
"what happened?"
"Miss de Bauer is not in good health. Mrs. de Bauer often asks William to go to Rosings Manor to take care of their property. The last time I gave birth, he didn't catch up. We had a big fight. Recently, De Bauer Mrs. Hall wants William to go to Rosings Manor. I really don’t understand, she is not only William’s nephew, but there are several cousins in the Fitzwilliam family, why it must be William.”
"Probably because Darcy is the only one who will not covet their property."
"That's really thankful for their affirmation. This is not a very demanding job. Lydia, you know that if Miss de Bourgh...then the entire Rosings manor will be taken over by other members of the de Bourgh family. How much will William's involvement in the internal affairs of the de Bourgh family have on his reputation?"
"I know you are thinking about him, but Mrs. de Bourgh is his aunt after all. If he thinks he can afford these costs, then you don't object. Think about it if your children don't help Jane and her Will you be sad, child?"
"Oh~" Elizabeth substituted for Jojo and found out that she would be very sad.
"Well, Lydia, you're right."
Jojo smiled: "I think you don't like Mrs. de Bourgh, maybe it's because she matched Miss de Bourgh and Mr. Darcy before."
This is also a very normal thing, who would like a person who has sold his daughter to his husband.
Elizabeth was a little embarrassed.
"And you? How is that Mr. Holmes? This time he is helping."
"Mycroft? Very well, everything depends on God's arrangement. What's mine will always be mine."
"Lydia, when did you become a philosopher? Everyone can see that gentleman's affection for you. Lydia, this is really great. When you and Wycombe went to America, I really It's very worrying."
Elizabeth stroked Jojo's hair.
Qiao Qiao was about to say something when there was a noise downstairs.The two sisters looked at each other and hurried downstairs.
"what happened?"
"Master, Mr. Collins went to the farm and found the workers slacking off. Mr. Collins is going to fire those people."
Both Jojo and Elizabeth showed anger in their eyes, how could there be such shameless people in the world.
"Quiet!" Qiao Qiao directly used some mental coercion.
Those who calmed down saw Qiao Qiao with an ugly face and extremely low air pressure.For a moment no one dared to speak.
"Mr. Collins, I think you are here to see the patient. Don't you know that the patient needs to rest quietly. What do you mean by being noisy here?"
"Cousin Lydia..."
"Shut up! Mr. Collins, I think greed is one of the seven deadly sins. As a priest, even if you can't do it in your heart, you should at least restrain yourself on the surface."
"I do not have……"
"Before my father returns to the embrace of the Lord, everything here is still named Bennett. Mr. Collins should have some patience. Now we have to deal with the Bennett family, Betty, please leave Mr. Collins."
"Yes, Master."
Ignoring Collins who was being pulled away, Jojo looked at the farm workers.
"It's not been a day or two for you to work at Bennett's house. You know how your father treats you. This is the last time. If you are caught again, then I will invite you to go home and eat your own." Qiao Qiao's tone was indifferent and cold.The workers were so frightened that they said that there would be no next time.
"Lydia, you really have changed a lot." Elizabeth clicked her tongue. The farce was dealt with in less than 10 minutes.
