[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Mr. Bennet picked up the pipe that Manli had thrown aside before, seeing that it was already empty, he smashed his mouth with regret, and threw it back to the original place.

He didn't hide it from Manli, and said: "Mr. Jean came to visit at home the day before yesterday and brought a message for Mr. Alan. You know the content of the message. Lizzy said it in the letter, but Do you know what the identity of Mr. Alan is?"

When her father said this, his eyes lit up, and Manli also became curious: "What is it?... I remember he said before that he came with the big ship sent by the king of their country."

"Correct!"

Mr. Bennet slammed the table with such a bang that startled Mary.

"He and his companions are actually guests invited back by Her Majesty the Queen!" Mr. Bennet said loudly.

"A guest of Her Majesty the Queen?!"

Manli was also a little surprised at the moment: "No way? If so, why doesn't he go to London?"

Do you want to be so exaggerated?If it was really Her Majesty's guest, shouldn't it be easy for Aaron to find his companion?

"Why not? What Mr. Jean said could be false?"

Mr. Bennet glared at his daughter, clearly pleased by her expected surprise.

Although it had happened for several days, Mr. Bennet was still amazed at this moment.

"Don't say you don't believe it. When Mr. Jean told me, I was also shocked. But it is indeed true. Mr. Jean said that when he went home to visit his father some time ago, he occasionally heard It’s only right when the duke talks about it.”

"According to Your Excellency the Duke, a large ship that had an accident at sea was full of distinguished guests from China specially invited by Her Majesty the Queen. After the accident, Her Majesty was furious and sent a lot of people to search for it, but it has been more than half a year now, and there are still several No one was found."

"Mr. Jean immediately thought of Alan, and went to ask those Chinese people who were found, and then..."

"Then he brought those people to meet Mr. Alan?" Manli understood immediately.

"Yes. He came this time to personally accompany those distinguished guests to Lanbai County to recognize people."

"It's a coincidence to say it."

Mr. Bennet sighed again: "If it wasn't for a coincidence that I met Mr. Jean, I don't know when Aaron wants to meet his companions! It is said that he has been to London before, but because of his identity when he was killed The certificate is lost, not to mention proving your identity, you can't even get close to the palace."

Manli nodded, she understood that what her father said was true.

Not to mention now, in any era, the place where the imperial power is concentrated is not accessible to anyone.

Let alone a foreigner who cannot prove his identity.

It's just that it's all a coincidence.

If she hadn't gone to find Aaron because of her father's leg injury, maybe he wouldn't have had the chance to know Jean.

If he didn't know Jean, how could those court officials go to such a remote place in Lanbai County to look for him?

At this moment, Manli sincerely believed that sentence again——

Everything is an arrangement of fate.

After talking about Aaron, Mr. Bennet talked about Gene again.

For some reason, Manli felt that her father's attitude towards Gene seemed to have changed a lot.

It's no longer the respectful and unfamiliar way before, but...it seems very close.

She became more and more strange, and couldn't figure out what kind of fascination, soul, soup that man poured into her father in just a few days?

"Mr. Jean came to me specifically to apologize that day." Mr. Bennet pulled Manli back to her thoughts.

"Apologize? What are you apologizing for?" She was a little unresponsive.

"He feels very guilty about his arbitrariness and concealment of selling the New Manor to us." Mr. Bennet said this sentence slowly and carefully.

After finishing speaking, he immediately added: "That's what he said, I didn't think so."

Manli pursed her lips, but did not respond.

Of course she knew that these were the original words of Gene, which was really beyond what her father could say.

Manli was indeed very angry when she first found out about it.

Then things have happened for so long, and the anger has long since dissipated.

Especially after I have already expressed my dissatisfaction to him in person, thinking about it now, there is no need to pursue it.

"How long ago did he still remember?" She murmured in a low voice.

But Mr. Bennet could hear clearly.

"That means you don't mind about it anymore?" he pressed.

"What do you mind? Could it be that father, you are still angry about that matter?" Manli asked back.

She remembered her father being the first to show his support after she rejected Gene's marriage proposal on that ground.

But Mr. Bennet didn't answer her, but said thoughtfully: "If you don't mind...Mr. Jean may propose to you again."

Manli:? ! ! !

Mr. Bennet stared back innocently: "You don't have to stare at me, it's not what I said... I don't know if it's serious..."

Having said that, he suddenly became irritable.

Stand up and push Manli to the door: "Go, go, don't let me see you! You are only a little bit older, and you are being proposed? Time and time again! It's really... Hurry up I get a headache when I see you. Go to your mother and let her have a headache."

Manli:? ? ?

Is this being angered? !

Confused, she was pushed out of the study by her father. Seeing that the door was slammed shut right in front of her eyes, Man Li rubbed her nose.

For some reason, she inexplicably saw a hint of guilt from Mr. Bennet's irritable expression.

Guilty?

What is going on?

Father and Gene...

"What did Dad tell you?"

While Manli was still thinking wildly, Elizabeth suddenly patted her on the shoulder from the side and asked curiously.

She staggered in fright.

"Hey, Second Sister, I have something to do with you!"

Zhengchou didn't know who to ask, but someone bumped into her, and of course Manli wouldn't let go.

She took Elizabeth to her room.

After closing the door, Manli didn't talk nonsense to her at all, and asked directly: "What did Mr. Jean and Dad say? Also, when did he come to our house, what did he say, and what did he do? Two Sister, tell me everything verbatim."

Elizabeth did not immediately answer Manli's barrage of questions.

She stared at her for a long time, and then suddenly laughed: "Why, I haven't seen him for a few days, and you miss him? Look at this sentence, I wish it was all Mr. Jean's name... My three Sister, do you hate being married?"

One sentence almost choked Manli to death.

"What nonsense!" She reached out and pinched Elizabeth's mouth angrily.

"I'm asking you a good question, you answer me quickly."

Seeing her distraught look, Elizabeth laughed and lay down directly on her bed.

The two quarreled for a while, before Elizabeth finally stopped laughing and said to Manli, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that we got together in a hurry."

It turned out that because Aaron could not come to Bennet's house in person because he had to receive those fellow villagers, Gene offered to bring a message to him.

After he helped Alan bring the message, he didn't intend to leave immediately.

The head of the family who was in charge of receiving him, Mr. Bennet, in order not to be cold, said something out of words, thanking him for his previous help to the family.

It was originally a polite remark, but no one expected that Gene would salute Mr. Bennet in the living room in front of everyone in the family, and sincerely apologized.

Jean originally had a good appearance, and his behavior was so sincere, plus, he had such an identity...

Facing his apology, it's easy to soften your heart.

When he looked at Mr. Bennet sincerely and asked him for forgiveness in the most humble tone, no one could say anything against his will, even if he had a hard heart.

Not to mention that he helped his family buy a house in the first place, which was originally a good intention.

Mr. Bennet naturally said at the time that the previous incident had already passed, and no one would take it to heart, and asked Mr. Jean to stop thinking about it.

The others nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement with Mr. Bennet's statement.

But what no one expected was that after getting the understanding of all Bennet's family members, Mr. Jean immediately added a sentence.

"Dear Mr. Bennet, I am really grateful for your forgiveness. In this case, I don't know if I can ask you one more thing? When I propose to Miss Manley again, Can I beg you to give me some good words, so that Miss Manli doesn't reject me right away? Even if you give me a chance to show off, I will definitely seize it."

In order to say this, Elizabeth jumped up from the bed on purpose, stood in the middle of the room, imitating Gene's tone and said solemnly.

Not to mention, she's pretty similar.

Even if she wasn't there, Manli could fully imagine how embarrassing the scene was.

Immediately, a gust of hot air rushed towards her face, making her wish to find a seam in the ground and get in!

Her embarrassment obviously made Elizabeth extremely happy to watch.

Laughed very unkindly.

It wasn't until Manli was ashamed and angry that she was about to get irritable, that she put away her playful smile at the right time, hugged her and asked, "What do you think about Mr. Jean?"

"I didn't think much about it!" Manli gritted her teeth, only feeling that the roots of her teeth were itching.

This person... She simply doesn't know how to evaluate it!

Elizabeth glanced at her, and sighed a long time: "Manli, sometimes people have to cherish their blessings."

"What do you mean?" Manli whitened her: "Do you think that if I don't agree to Jin's marriage proposal, I will be reckless?"

"Yes."

Elizabeth nodded heavily.

Before Manli opened her mouth, she blocked her words: "I know what you are going to say, and I know that all kinds of scruples are on your mind. But Manli, use what you say about my elder sister and me to counter it. Give it to you, why not give it to yourself, and give others a chance?"

"Sometimes when I say it, I don't understand it."

Elizabeth spread her hands: "Are you really stupid? Can't you tell whether Mr. Jean's intentions for you are true or false? You always say that you should find the right family. But, for a woman, choosing to live together When you are with that man for the rest of your life, shouldn't love be the first thing you think about?"

"Could it be that in your heart, you'd rather choose someone who is a good match but doesn't love each other than someone like Mr. Jean who loves you deeply despite having a higher family status?"
