The residence of the Ashleys was in another direction, and they were not on the way back, so they left first.Emma could see that Alvin seemed to have something to say to her, so she asked Alvin to take Georgiana home first.

The moon slowly climbed to the top of the tree, and there were no pedestrians on the street.A carriage stopped in front of Emma and George's house.

Emma handed Alvin her hand and got out of the car, but didn't go in immediately. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Alvin hesitated, but he didn't want this question to remain between them. "Why did you agree to..."

Emma sighed lightly, it really was this problem. "Didn't father tell you so? I thought father would tell you." She wasn't sure what old Mr. Kentra was looking for, but she was sure that old Mr. Kentra didn't tell his daughter that he liked Clark.

"Old Mr. Kentra only said that he entrusted you to me and hoped that I would take good care of you."

Emma lowered her eyes. "Actually, some people have always wanted to harm the Kentra family. There were people behind Clark's murder of his father and his brother."

Alvin didn't know about it, he came back too late, and George didn't tell him the whole thing. "who is it?"

Emma shook her head. "I don't know. The person who recommended the witch doctor to Clark used a fake identity. The witch doctor claimed that he didn't know that the medicine was used to harm people, so he failed to convict him. My uncle sent someone to watch him, but he disappeared quickly. "

Alvin doesn't know much about the affairs of the Kentra family. In fact, he has been on the battlefield all year round, so he is not very clear about domestic affairs. "Then you are still in danger."

"In fact," Emma said softly, "In October last year, there were rumors from neighboring counties that I had eloped with Clark. The people behind the scenes wanted to lure my brother, which was not good for my brother." Although last year's rumors It's fairly clean, it hasn't spread widely, and it didn't cause any damage to her reputation after it was clarified later.But if I didn't tell Alvin about this matter at all, in case he found out later, he would feel uncomfortable, so she decided to find a good opportunity to explain this matter to Alvin.Now is this good opportunity, whether it can get rid of the original owner's blame in one fell swoop.

When Alvin came back the year before last, he heard about Clark's attempt to abduct his fiancée, but he only had an obligation to Emma, ​​so he didn't take it to heart.Now it sounds like I can't help but clenched my fists. "Or are the same people trying to discredit you?"

Isn't the point bad for George?This focus is a bit biased.Emma explained: "In fact, both the letter and Lisa's confession can prove that this is a lie. They just hope to use this to lure my brother to attack him. Unfortunately, the people behind this time withdrew too quickly, and my brother failed to find them out. Is it the same group?"

Alvin finally noticed the point. "Is George all right?"

"Brother is fine, he sent people to investigate first, and disappeared before those people were found out." Emma was not going to tell Alvin about Mr. Darcy's meddling, anyway, except for Mr. Darcy, George and Mrs. No one knew about her, and Colonel Fitzwilliam never knew the cause of Mr. Darcy's injury.In order to avoid Erwin's misunderstanding, let's keep this matter as an eternal secret.

Alvin was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry." He wasn't there for Emma when she needed him.Alvin has never felt that there is anything wrong with his profession. As a soldier, he can defend his family and the country on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can be promoted quickly.As the youngest son without a title or property, he can earn honor and status for himself through military exploits and provide a stable environment for Emma.He wasn't there when old Mr. Kentra was killed and Emma was in crisis. He thought about it once, but there was no good solution.Now the question loomed again.

"You don't have to say sorry, it's not your fault." Emma didn't expect that Alvin's first reaction was to feel sorry for not being able to protect her, and she couldn't help feeling very guilty.She thought it was reasonable for her not to blame the original owner, so why should she be punished for a mistake she didn't commit?But cheating on Alvin made her feel guilty.

"If I'm not..." If I'm not an officer, I don't have to go out all year round; if I'm not the youngest son, I can inherit the title and have my own power; if I'm not so careless, I can realize your situation earlier... Alvin wanted to say a lot, but he didn't say the last sentence.So back to the original question, why did old Mr. Kentra and Emma choose him?

Emma felt that her sense of guilt was about to overwhelm her, and she said quickly: "Your character and character are very reassuring, and today's achievements are all earned by your own hands, and you have nothing to do with any forces. That's why Father chose you. As long as I'm in Kentra, I'm in danger, and he wants to keep me out of it."

This is a very reasonable reason.Alvin felt that he should accept it, and proposed to Emma in accordance with old Mr. Kentra's wishes, and married her home as soon as possible, just as he had envisioned when he returned home this year.But when there is no emotion, people can judge the problem rationally. After having a good impression, everything will be different. "So, do you still have the same reason now?"

Emma could not speak.She knew that she should coax Alvin, just like she did at the beginning, but she couldn't use false feelings to deceive him when Alvin was already in love, she had already done a lot to him . "I, you know, we got engaged for this reason in the first place. Now I still think that you are very suitable, but I have begun to like you." When she is not sure whether the other party is suitable, Emma can only say that she likes it at most, not give love.

Fit and liking, not love.Alvin didn't speak.He doesn't want Emma to marry him for reasons other than love, but if Emma wants to get married as soon as possible and stay out of danger, he will compromise.

Emma realized her mistake very intuitively.She hopes to see if she has a good impression first, then see if it is suitable, and finally give her sincerity.There was nothing wrong with the order, but Alvin was emotional.It should be put at the forefront immediately to see if it is suitable, and if it cannot continue, the marriage should be terminated immediately to reduce the damage. "I must sincerely apologize to you. The real me is different from what you see. I am not a qualified lady. I passed out Lena and Mrs. Richard that night, saw my father's body, and fell unconscious Gatekeeper, Pegasus went to Pemberley for help. The business decisions made by my brother are basically my decisions. I will not be willing to be a virtuous wife to manage the manor after I get married. I hope to continue to do business, but it is still the same as it is now , in secret."

All of a sudden, so much explosive information came down on his head and face, and Alvin felt a little unreal. "You mean..."

"Yes, there are no maids at all. I did all these things. Of course I am very happy if you can accept it. If not, I can understand very well. There are too many things that happened tonight, you can go back and think about it slowly , I am waiting for your reply at home." Emma thought for a while and added another sentence. "Not in a hurry."

Alvin really needs to go back and think about it, he can't think anymore, except for this thing that still seems very unreal now, he also wants to check the Kentra family.

Walking into the living room, Emma saw George slumped on the sofa. "Brother, how much did you drink? Do you feel okay?"

Although George smelt of alcohol, his eyes were still clear. "My lord Duke came to me in the afternoon and made me drink a lot."

Emma smelled something unusual from it. "Why did Your Excellency the Duke look for you? It hasn't been long since you made a mess last time, and he should still be angry. By the way, brother, I saw Mr. Brown and a Tory earl at the Opera House today. I forgot What is his name, come out of a box."

George laughed, a slightly sinister smile from the alcohol. "What a coincidence, I know about this."

Emma raised an eyebrow. "Already know?"

When it came to business, George's expression became serious. "One of the purposes of the Duke to find me is this matter. In the past two years, many wealthy businessmen and military officers of the Whig Party have surrendered to the Tory Party, hoping to join the Tory Party. The Duke is not very happy about this."

Emma could understand.The Tory Party represents the interests of the landed aristocracy. In fact, it is a little out of date with the trend of the times. The addition of fresh blood can make its strength stronger and its structure reasonable. that power.

"Brown is one of them. He has made great military achievements, and he still has a feud with the Duke. I think what the Duke means, and he originally wanted me to clean up the traitors in the Kentra family, but you know that I am a waste of business, and I don't know anything about politics. , a subordinate who is not capable of doing things, but because the cowpox still has a little prestige, he can't play around with it. I was fooled by this matter." George was very grateful for his choice.If he wasn't a good-for-nothing, he must have been tied to the front of the Lord Duke's chariot; if he hadn't gained prestige because of the cowpox, the Lord Duke would probably regard him as an abandoned child and let him fight Mr. Brown and lose both.

Emma was still a little worried. "In any case, brother, you must not get involved in this matter."

George held up his right hand. "I swear."

Emma was amused by him. "By the way, I always feel that Mr. Brown is very familiar, as if I have heard this name somewhere before."

George's expression became very stiff, hesitantly said: "Emma, ​​how much do you remember about your mother?"

Emma wondered why George suddenly asked such a question. "I remember all of them."

George didn't speak, just looked at her like that.

Emma suddenly realized that she had misunderstood. George meant to ask how much she remembered about Mrs. Kentra's murder the night she and Mrs. Kentra were kidnapped.For the original owner, this memory was too painful, only some vague fragments and a few hideous and distorted faces.Emma lowered her head: "I just remember someone shouting, let go, hold on, kill."

George said softly, "Mr. Brown was the one they forced my father to release that night."

Emma's eyes widened in shock: "Mr. Brown? Why did father arrest him? Why didn't he let him go when he was threatened? Now that Mr. Brown is fine, did father let him go later? Then why was mother killed?"

George patted Emma on the shoulder reassuringly. "The only thing I know more about this than you is that those people caught you and wanted your father to let Mr. Brown go. I'm still looking for more things, but it's hard. It's been ten years, and many clues have been found It's not here."

Emma tried hard to remember, but the painful emotions in the memory revived with the memory, and Emma frowned uncomfortably. "Brother, you must find out the truth."

George secretly regretted telling Emma about it, but fortunately another matter could divert her attention. "What you want." George handed Emma a letter.

"What is this?" Emma opened the envelope.

"You let Wickham stare at him. At most, he cares a little bit more about Georgiana, and it's not a pursuit at all. What are you investigating him for?" George couldn't understand that Emma was too protective of Georgiana.

Emma flipped through the letter paper.The content of the letter is that Mr. Wickham owed a large amount of gambling debts in the gambling house, and is now courting a lady with a rich dowry.Emma showed a satisfied smile. "Of course there are my uses."

"Besides, even if he really planned something wrong, Fitzwilliam didn't feel it. How do you know?"

"How could Mr. Darcy expect Mr. Wickham to be so bold..." He dared to make Georgiana's idea and abducted her to elope.It was useless to George to say it, and it would not be good for Georgiana if it got out.Emma didn't finish this sentence, and went upstairs after thanking George for her hard work.

Back in the room, Emma locked the letter in the deepest part of the cabinet.Anyway, with her watching, Mr. Wickham poses no threat to Georgiana for the time being.These things that will affect Georgiana's mood, let's find a way to reveal them to her after returning from London.

The author has something to say: the fiancé will not leave so fast, will not leave so fast, will not leave so fast, important things are said three times.The main reason for eloping with Shenma is to let Alvin investigate the events of the year, and it will not be a reason for breaking up.There is also an important person who appears in three chapters.

The river god was afraid, and with a wave of his hand, Marilyn Menglu appeared in front of Alvin. "Young man, is this your fiancee?" Alvin shook his head: "No, my fiancee's breasts are much flatter than hers."

The River God waved again, and Sophie Marceau appeared in front of Alvin. "Young man, is this your fiancee?" Alvin shook his head: "No, my fiancee's legs are much shorter than hers."

The river god waved again, and Emma appeared in front of Alvin. "Young man, is this your fiancée?" Alvin nodded happily: "Such flat chest and short legs, yes, this is my fiancée."

Then Emma and Alvin broke up.
