[Comprehensive Classics] Killing the Classics

Seeing Lydia rushing in, Mrs. Forstall stood up and asked in amazement, "Why are you here, Lydia?"

Lydia said before that she was asked to help drag Miss Jin while she eavesdropped, but Mrs. Fausto disagreed.But they are like-minded friends after all, and Lydia obviously made up her mind, so she agreed to help.But now, Lydia ran out voluntarily as if she had grasped something... She couldn't help but look at Anya.

Anya was not surprised by this result, because it was in her expectation.Lydia obviously didn't want to answer Mrs. Fausto's question, so Anya took the initiative and said, "Since the person I want to visit has already arrived, Mrs. Fausto, thank you for your hospitality just now."

"Visit me? You just want to take the opportunity to get close to Wickham!" Lydia said sharply and loudly.

There was a mixed expression of shame and anger on Anya's face, and her face was serious: "I am really sorry for your sister and the family who really care about you, Miss Bennett! Could it be that your tutor taught you how to slander people outside? Is it? I came here only to fulfill my promise and help Elizabeth see her sister, but her sister is wantonly damaging my reputation!"

"The matter is not so serious, Miss Jin." Hearing her words so serious, Mrs. Forstall hurriedly came to smooth things over, "Lydia just heard a few words, and she was a little excited for a while, but she didn't mean anything else. .”

"You don't have to speak for her, Mrs. Fausto." Anya said calmly, and walked out. "It seems that I have to say goodbye today."

"Wait a minute, Miss King!" cried Mrs. Forstall, going over and tugging at Lydia, giving her some looks.Lydia said reluctantly: "You can't just go out like this, Miss Jin. You are here to visit me, so how can you leave without talking to me?"

Anya said coldly: "If you, as the host, don't welcome me very much, I don't think there is any need for me to stay."

Although Lydia is not good at using her brain, she also understands one thing: if Anya is allowed to leave like this, maybe tomorrow, the whole Bailitun will be full of rumors about her, and maybe Anya will be angry and still Will write to her sister, so she won't stay long in Brighton.So she had to keep Anya, at least to give up all the superficial feelings of host and guest.

"Oh, I can guarantee that Lydia will welcome you. She has been preparing to receive you since she received your letter yesterday." Mrs. Fausto said loudly, with a smile on her face.

But even though she tried her best to make the scene more perfect, the other two may not appreciate it.Lydia was quite unimpressed.

Mrs. Forstall said a few more words, and realizing that Lydia's tent was not suitable for receiving guests, made an excuse and went out, giving the place to them both.Although she was very worried, she was just Lydia's friend after all, not her nanny.To do this is already very benevolent.

Lydia sat down and grumbled as she ate: "Oh, there are too many people on the beach today. I went for a walk in this new dress, and the corners of it were covered with sand..."

"If you don't go for a walk, then you'll be fine?" Anya sneered, and said in a nonchalant manner, "How did you do this? You ran to the beach by yourself when you knew when I was coming to visit." Going up to play, I have to ask your friend to receive me as a guest... I really don't know how to express my admiration for you, how did you manage to be so thick-skinned?"

Lydia couldn't hold back anymore, and said sullenly: "You are too rude to say that, Miss Jin."

"From your attitude towards me, I don't think I need to be polite to you."

Lydia was choked, with an uncertain expression.But soon, she found a way to fight back, and laughed: "If you think that I will let you see Wickham, then you are too wild."

"Isn't it supposed to make you more fanciful, Miss Lydia? I don't understand why you think I want to see Mr. Wickham, but it's clear that you have nothing to do with him, don't you?" Can I see him by defeating you?" Anya asked back.

"So, you still want to see him?"

"If God arranges for us to meet again, then I have nothing to do." Anya said coldly.

Lydia laughed exaggeratedly: "God arranged, yes, God arranged for him to leave you. So Miss Jin, I advise you not to overestimate yourself."

"Am I overthinking myself? I think I am the most qualified to say this. Besides, since Wickham doesn't belong to any of us, why do we have to argue about him?" Anya said in a cold tone , looking at Lydia annoyedly.

Lydia froze for a moment, and had to admit this.It was true that Wickham did not belong to any one of them, but whenever they quarreled it was invariably the subject of discussion.But this doesn't mean that, excluding the elements of Wickham, she will be able to take a liking to Mary King.She said loudly: "In that case, are you admitting that you gave up on him?"

Anya was both helpless and annoyed, why did Lydia have to focus on Wickham?

"That's right, I gave up on him, and I gave up a long time ago. Let me tell you the truth, Miss Lydia, I will never put this person in my heart again in my life, so you can understand? "

With a subtle expression on Lydia's face, she said reluctantly: "Oh, okay. So, what is your purpose for visiting me?"

"I think I have already said this, because of your sister's request. Since you are living a very happy life, and even if the biggest trouble in your life is getting sand on your skirt, I think I am enough to deal with Elizabeth." Anya said, standing up and saying goodbye politely.

Lydia was dumbfounded, she didn't seem to think that she really just came to visit her.But faced with this situation, she had no choice but to agree to Anya's departure: "Do you want me to send you off?"

Anya's eyes were burning: "If you are worried that I will take the opportunity to see Mr. Wickham, then I have to say that it is unnecessary."

Lydia had no choice but to say: "Oh, that's not the case, I just want to send you off."

Anya sighed and agreed to this.Anyway, that's exactly what she wanted.But no matter what, she was very annoyed now.

Lydia is really a stinking rock, with a stupid head and a pretentious beauty and intelligence.It will be more difficult than imagined to persuade or transform her.But she wasn't Lydia's nanny anyway.Killing Wickham and giving her and many more deceived teenage girls a new chance is kind enough, and planning her future life?Anya would not accompany this kind of thing.

Lydia walked with her, and after a long silence, she said, "I want to ask you, Miss Jin, what did you think when you were abandoned by Wickham?"

It's not polite to ask this question.Anya was silent for a while before saying, "I'm not rich enough."

Lydia didn't expect her to answer like this, and looked at her in surprise: "Oh, no, don't you think Wickham is such a man?"

"If not, why did he ruthlessly abandon me after pursuing me?" Anya stated the facts lightly, "My grandfather left me a dowry of [-] pounds, which is far less than His expectations. If I had had ten thousand pounds, perhaps this would not have happened. But in any case, the matter is over. I don't want to mention this again, although I don't want to have any more. The girl got into it as much as I did—I'm not one to gossip about people's backs, but you, Miss Lydia, it's not normal for Wickham to pay attention to a lady who has no money, can you understand? ?”

Judging from the time, Wickham should not feel the crisis of bankruptcy, so he will not try to seduce Lydia.But Lydia obviously hasn't given up on Wickham now, and if something shows signs of it, maybe she will really jump on it.

If she really eloped with Wickham later, Anya would not show any mercy.Which is worse, a reputation damaged or a life ruined by elopement?

Lydia obviously didn't take these words to heart, and said disapprovingly, "Wickham wouldn't do that."

Anya saw her carriage, lowered her eyes and said, "Whether it is true or not, you will understand when things really happen."

--------

Lydia's route is not working, and it can be confirmed now.But fortunately, Mrs. Forstall has become Anja's ally, and she has been very friendly in the next few meetings.And by using Lydia, she can also spread the wind to Wickham and make him restrain himself a little.

Anya has already figured it out, instead of letting Wickham seduce a girl and flee to the world, it is better to let Lydia join her.With the help of Mrs. Fausto, her every move will be noticed, and any changes will be reported immediately, which can reduce the risk to the greatest extent.

For Lydia herself, this may not be a bad thing-if things can be nip in the bud, that's of course best; Catch them in the shortest possible time before any unfortunate consequences arise.

In fact, how to make Wickham suffer misfortune is the focus of Anya's consideration.Ruin, disfigurement or poverty, which one would hurt him more...

Before she could figure out why, the person concerned came to visit her.When Anya saw Wickham's handsome face appearing in front of her eyes, she really understood one thing—what meant that the plan did not change quickly.
