When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

Sure enough, Stuart came to visit two days later, and he came very early. Darcy left early to do business, but Wu Zhao hadn't got up in time. The living room picked up a newspaper and read it leisurely, feeling more at ease than in his own home.

The servants of the Haisen mansion all knew that the earl was probably their future son-in-law, and they were all very sensible, so they didn't come up to disturb, but a few maids looked up enviously and hid away and whispered.

"It's so early? Those who don't know think this is not my mansion but your villa!" Wu Zhao held on to the handrail on the stairs, lay on the railing with a smile, and looked down at Stuart on the sofa, " What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Pick such a time to come here."

Stuart shook the newspaper in his hand, avoided answering, and instead raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Tomorrow night's little dance, are you going to bring a male companion? Don't tell me you forgot to look for me if I don't come?"

"It's really sad." Stuart stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Zhao who came over into his arms, buried his chin on her small shoulder, and whispered half complaining half jokingly, "I won't admit it if I take advantage of it." , you forgot how you talked with me in Rosings!"

Wu Zhao laughed, "Why does it sound like you've suffered a disadvantage!"

Stuart swore, "It's just a loss, I gave you everything, and you still don't miss me at the little dance!"

Tonight's small dance is held in the name of the most prominent family among the participating girls on the eve of the adult dance. It is said to be a small dance, but the scale is not small at all. All girls who want to participate in the adult dance must bring their own male companion to attend.

In fact, it is equivalent to an early meeting, which saves people who are not familiar with each other on the day of the prom from embarrassing each other.

The male companions brought by the girls usually bring their fiancés if they have a marriage, and if there are suitors and both parties are interested, they will bring the suitors—of course, both of them must be of high status, and they can be invited to the Queen's Ball.She fell in love with a poor boy with no family background, no title, no money, no status, so the girl had no choice but to give up her adult ball.

If there is neither a fiancé nor a potential suitor, or if the girl is unwilling to give up this important ball that is the beginning of her social season, it is her brothers of the same generation in her family who will attend, but this will become the subject of ridicule in the future.

That's why Darcy was relieved to go out early in the morning. Although he was not angry, he also knew that with Stuart here, he must have nothing to do at night!

At this time, Darcy hoped that Stuart was a poor boy with no status. When he quietly complained to Elizabeth, he mentioned it dissatisfiedly, "I always thought that I would accompany Gina to spend her most important event. At the ball! That's my sister, the one I grew up watching!"

Elizabeth smiled and said nothing, don't look at what Darcy is saying now, but if a friend really takes a fancy to a poor boy, then don't think too much about it, it must be the elder brother who jumps out to object—anyway, whether it is the prince or the earl Well, it doesn't matter whether it's a poor boy or a beggar, as long as Gina likes it,

Darcy can't stand it!

——The future Mrs. Darcy understood the true meaning of sister control in advance.

"What have you been up to for the past two days?" Wu Zhao didn't dwell on this matter, but told all about Mrs. de Boer after Stuart left, "What did you find out? You tell me first, so I can find an excuse to give the money to Yasha——when I see her tonight, this girl will definitely ask her!"

"Take me to the ball, and I'll tell you when I get there." Stuart put his forehead on Wu Zhao's shoulder and said, "Otherwise I won't tell you!"

Wu Zhao pressed his smooth forehead and smiled, and said angrily: "Who else could it be if it wasn't you? My brother went out this morning. At this time, don't you still want me to go to Dom's house to find that Alan? Dom?"

"Alan Dom?" Stuart's face turned green, Huo Di raised his head, and asked through gritted teeth, "What's going on with this guy!"

"You don't know?" Wu Zhao was surprised now, after all, this is London!With Stuart's temperament, and the chaos at the front line during that time, didn't he send a few people to follow him in London, or did the people who followed him not report to him?

"I, no, know, know!" Stuart said word by word.

He stared at Wu Zhao with displeasure at first, and when Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes, looking like he was going to get angry, he suddenly fell down, leaned his head on Wu Zhao's neck again, and murmured coquettishly: "You why is it like this……"

Wu Zhao laughed, hurriedly put his hands on his head a few times, and coaxed: "I don't like him! Look at this time I am here, and I have people throw all the flowers he sent into the servant's room... ..."

"He still sent flowers?!" Stuart raised his head abruptly, his eyes widened, annoyed, "Or is he going to London to send you flowers this time? He's so daring!"

Stuart was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, baring his teeth and claws, "He's just a little quartermaster. If it wasn't for his father's face, I wouldn't even give him this position!"

"You can't fall in love with him!" Stuart turned his head proudly. "If someone as good as me is pursuing you, I can compete fairly. But someone who is so much inferior to me? I feel that I have been hurt. insult!"

Wu Zhao laughed loudly, shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, with you in front of me, how can I see Yumu?"

Stuart calmed down for a while, and he sent someone to bring the evening dress prepared for Wu Zhao, "Would you like to wear this tomorrow? I have a dress that matches it."

Seeing Wu Zhao accepted it with a smile, he nodded in satisfaction, and told Wu Zhao to have a good rest today, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it all night tomorrow."

The two laughed and talked for a long time before Stuart reluctantly went back.

"What about people?"

As soon as Stuart returned to the Earl's Mansion, his face immediately sank, and none of the servants around dared to breathe loudly. The old butler cautiously replied: "Are you talking about Dolly? As you ordered, He is already waiting in the study."

"And Vince, let him come too!" Stuart strode towards the book with a blank expression.

Fang, "Ask how he protects Miss Darcy!"

The old butler was terrified. Did something happen to Miss Darcy?Why didn't I hear the wind at all!He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurried to find Vince. Although Wu Zhao hadn't been here yet, the old butler knew that the soon-to-be Countess of Campbell, Miss Darcy, was the Earl's favorite. What's the matter, cutting them down is not enough to replace them!

There is already a strong man waiting in the study, and it should be Dolly that the old butler said.

Stuart slammed the inner door of the study coldly, without even looking at Dolly, he strode towards the large armchair behind the desk without looking back.

Dolly knew something was up by looking at Stuart's expression. He thought about his errands left and right, and secretly thought, nothing went wrong!Probably not angry with me...

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the wind stern in his ears!The instinct of his body made him dodge back suddenly, and he couldn't help being startled when he took a closer look. The count just threw a book at himself? !

Dolly knelt down on one knee with a plop, his head drooping in cold sweat. He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he didn't know why Stuart got angry. If he said something wrong, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire?

He was thinking wildly, when Stuart asked gloomyly: "I asked you to follow Gina and report everything to me one by one. How did you do it?"

Dolly was dumbfounded, and quickly argued: "Your Excellency, you didn't..."

At the same time, another voice behind him also said: "Your Excellency, calm down!"

Dolly turned around quickly, and saw Vince behind him kneeling on one knee, with his head lowered, and the heavy book, stained with a trace of blood, was rolling down at Vince's feet.

"It doesn't seem to be my business." Dolly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly moved to the side. He couldn't help but look back at Vince, a little worried for him. It seems that the Earl's anger was caused by Vince's errand. If there is a problem, I'm afraid it will be troublesome now. He has a good relationship with Vince, and of course he is sweating for him.

"Calm down?" Stuart smiled coldly, "What have you done to make me calm down?"

Vince buried his head lower, with cold sweat streaming from his forehead. He really didn't know why Stuart was angry. He quickly went through the things he had done recently in his mind, and finally concluded that it must have something to do with Miss Darcy, otherwise The Earl can't be so angry!

"Your Excellency, Vince will never dare to neglect his duties. I don't know what it is..." He carefully raised his head and glanced at Stuart quickly, "I don't know what made you so angry."

Stuart leaned on the back of the chair, as if it was another person who acted coquettishly and naively declared war on his rival in front of Wu Zhao just now. He lowered his eyelids, glanced at Vince, and sneered, "Don't dare to neglect your duties." Then let me ask you, Alan Dom once contacted Miss Darcy, didn't you see..." Stuart's voice was full of complacency, "I was bought and betrayed by someone Hiding it?"

Vince can't choose either of these two options!Not seeing it is dereliction of duty, self-slap in the face, betrayal?That is not want to live!

"Your Excellency! I did not betray you!" Vince hissed, "I

I did see Alan Dom sending Miss Darcy back to the Hayson Mansion, but Miss Darcy didn't talk to him much at that time, and didn't even invite him in, I thought..."

boom!

Before Vince could finish his sentence, another large dictionary on the desk hit his forehead head-on with the sound of the wind, and the force was so strong that a man with a strong physique like Vince couldn't help but lean back. The blood that had dried up was immediately stained with a new red.

"What do you think?" Stuart was furious as he pressed his hands on the desk. There were still a few documents scattered in a mess, apparently dropped from the dictionary just now. "Is this what you think? What I want is You report everything in every detail, who let you make your own opinions!"

"Dolly, say it!" Stuart sat back on the chair and dropped a teacup angrily. He raised his chin to signal Dolly to speak, and didn't even bother to cast a glance at Vince.

"Yes, yes..." Dolly quietly wiped the cold sweat off his head, full of sympathy for Vince, originally it was just a trivial matter, who made Miss Darcy regarded as a treasure by the earl, and what Vince concealed was precisely What about the little Dom who got the wrong heart?

"As for Lord Chris, I was ordered by Your Excellency to go to the harbor to investigate, and finally found the salesman described by Lord Chris in an inconspicuous business. After checking, the dealer admitted that he was just a local A small peddler who was contacted by a man with a London accent a year ago and offered him £[-] to pretend to be a dealer in a company with several ships, and go to London to find people to instigate shares, including Lord Chris The three Sirs included were all persuaded to invest nearly [-] pounds, and Sir Chris took the lead."

Vince still couldn't figure out why Dolly started talking about these irrelevant things. He gave Dolly a confused look, but only got a sympathetic look from the other side. Vince was even more confused.

"The merchant said that the man did not know how to use the money to buy three dilapidated merchant ships that were eliminated in the last century. After some renovations, they turned into new-style sailing ships. The jazz who invested money came to visit."

"At the beginning, the merchant thought he was just trying to cheat a sum of money, because these ships were just superficial, and they would sink in a short time after going out to sea. But later, the merchant was shocked to find that the man was not only trying to cheat money, but also wanted to let He created an illusion—he told the merchant that none of the sailors on the ship would survive! At that time, let the merchant take the sailors’ last letter and come to London to file a lawsuit and spread the word!”

"The merchant was terrified, but he had no way out. He quietly read the letter and found that it said that the sailors of the "Starlight" encountered pirates not long after setting out to sea, and no one survived on the ship. But the letter also said that those The ships used by the pirates, it says "Mary Jane" and "Elizabeth"!"

"Mary Jane" and "Elizabeth"!

Vince took a deep breath. What kind of pirate ship is this? It is clearly the two main merchant ships of the Earl and Mr. Darcy's company!This, this person is going to blame the Earl!

"tell him,

Who is that man from London. " Stuart gave Vince a cold look, and continued.

"Yes, Mr. Alan Dome..."

Dolly uttered a name tremblingly, obviously not loudly, but it sounded like thunder in Vince's ears, making him straighten up suddenly, as if struck by lightning, "Little Dom..."

Vince understood almost immediately why Stuart was so angry, and Little Dom made it clear that he had bad intentions. Could it be that he contacted Wu Zhao simply because he wanted to pursue him at this time?I'm afraid that looking at the property of the Darcy family is the best guess!

In order to tear off a piece of meat on the sea, the "Mary Jane" and "Elizabeth" were ordered by the earl. They are the names of the current queen and the previous queen. Even the earl once said with a smile to the queen that Mr. Darcy is loyal. In the Wei Dynasty, all the ships of the company were named after the royal family to show their loyalty.Of course the queen was happy, and the cabinet should take more care of the earl.

But now?The ship bearing the Queen's name is committing crimes not far from the Imperial Sea!Murder for money!

"It's not the seventeenth century anymore." The hidden emotions in Stuart's eyes were surging, and the calmer he spoke, the more shuddering Vince became. "The era of Vikings is long gone, the empire, or For fame."

"Your Excellency!" Vince suddenly turned his head to Stuart's direction and shouted in panic, "I didn't betray you, I know nothing about Little Dom!"

Now that he is no longer trying to justify his dereliction of duty, the most urgent task is to convince the earl that he has not betrayed. Thinking about the fate of those who once betrayed, Vince's eyes turned red, and his other leg fell to the ground in a slump , he didn't know how to explain his omission, because at this moment, he looked like he was hiding it on purpose.

"I know you haven't betrayed," Stuart's calm words revived Vince's hope, "You should be glad that the war broke out before Little Dom could do anything to Miss Darcy, and she returned first. Pemberley."

"You can't shirk your negligence." Stuart lowered his eyelids, stopped looking at him, and ordered softly, "Dolly, send him to the dungeon—the people below know how to make him remember."

Dolly bowed his head in response. Vince was overjoyed and thanked Stuart for his kindness. He let Dolly drag him up without any resistance, and exited the study obediently.
