[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard

Chapter 15 Jealousy is the Devil 1

When Lydia came back to Longbourn it was the season of excitement.

The handsome officers of the militia are already on their way and will arrive soon.

Mr. Bingley, a very popular bachelor, had already appeared at the ball.

Lydia misses Mr. Bingley's first visit and debut at the ball.

So when Lydia came home, her ears were strongly baptized by the word Mr. Bingley.

Mrs. Bennet and her young daughter share Mr. Bingley's handsome wealth and his love for Jane.

Katie took Lydia and told the whole process of Mr. Bingley's appearance in Longbourn from the beginning.

During this period, because the word Mr. Bingley appeared too frequently, Lydia felt that she no longer wanted to see this gentleman who was loved all over the world.

Lydia catches up on all the scenes she missed during the day, knowing even more than she experienced herself.

Seeing Jane's reaction, Lydia knew that everything was just like the previous life.

The ensuing days at Longbourn were for Lydia a repeat of her previous life.

Mr. Bingley, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Collins, and Mr. Wickham appeared one after the other.

Mr. Bingley still favors Jane, and Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth also have an intersection.

Lydia added details that she hadn't discovered before.

Mr. Collins still came, intending to marry a lady from the Bennet family. He still chose Elizabeth, but Elizabeth preferred Mr. Wickham.

Lydia sees things her previous self didn't.

Yes, in her previous life, her mind was full of balls, laces, skirts, handsome officers...

Lydia thought that everything would go on as usual, after all, Jane still went to Netherfield Manor, still sick, and Elizabeth still went to take care of him.

The appearance of Mr. Collins and Mr. Wickham is also consistent with her memory.

But something different happened, a huge event—Mr. Collins died.

In the grove of the Bennet family, Mr. Collins, the distant nephew who lived in the Bennet family and the future heir of the Bennet family property, died.

Such big news carries a strong label of the Bennet family.

Overnight, all the spearheads were pointed at the Bennet family.

As a stranger, Mr. Collins' only relatives in Longbourne are the Bennet family, and the only known involvement is the Bennet family.

"Have you heard? The person who will inherit the property of the Bennet family is dead!"

"I know, it is said that their family did it."

"What are you talking about! The police officer just took away the body and didn't give an explanation."

"Let me tell you, who else is not the Bennet family? No one knows the person who died."

"I also think that the Bennet family must have poisoned people to death. I think their family hates that Mr. Ke He."

Those who knew, those who didn't know, those who knew, those who didn't know, those who witnessed, those who didn't, everyone had their own arguments, but Bennett was unwavering in choosing the murderer.

..............................

At the Bennet house, the family got together, and the atmosphere was very bad. Mrs. Bennet looked annoyed, obviously very angry at the rumors.

Also, Mrs. Bennet and Beginning, who love to go out the most, are the most hurt by rumors.

"Father, what do you think we should do?"

There was panic in Jane's eyes, and she asked the head of the Bennet family.

"The police officers also said that it has nothing to do with our family, but everyone is so rumored, what can we do?"

For Mr. Bennet who doesn't like to go out, he is sure that there is nothing wrong with his family in terms of law, so he feels that there is nothing wrong with it.

"But such rumors still have an impact on us. Father, can't you think of a way?"

Elizabeth also put her hopes on her father, hoping that he would give a solution.

She was chiefly for Jane, and Mr. Bingley had heard the rumours.

"How about I go find the police officer in charge of this case?"

Mr. Bennet hesitated.

"What's the use of finding a police officer? Five days have passed. If they can solve the case, why are there so many rumors?"

Lydia had been listening silently, seeing that everyone had discussed for a long time without reaching a conclusion, so she opened her mouth.

"Then what can you do?"

From time to time, she would go out for a walk with Lydia. Mary, who knew Lydia a little bit now, looked at her and felt that she would express her thoughts by speaking.

"What can Lydia do?"

Elizabeth didn't take it seriously. Her favorite sister was Jane, and her best friend was Charlotte. The other sisters have been quiet recently, so they don't pay too much attention to them. Their understanding of them has stayed a long time ago.

"Lydia, my baby, don't worry about this, you are the youngest child, as long as you are well."

Mrs. Bennet put her arms around Lydia, obviously not too convinced that the youngest Lydia could do anything, and she was afraid that she would be sad.

"Mom, I can't stand those rumors. Mom, you are always socializing outside. With such rumors, it must be difficult for you to be as happy as before. And I really have a way. Not one, but two, you can choose First, it can also be carried out at the same time. These two methods, one can treat the outside but not the inside. The other can completely solve the trouble."

Lydia also hugged Mrs. Bennet, coaxed her mother first, and then fought back for a while at the smartest girl in the family.

"Are there two other ways? Let's talk about it, how to do it?"

Mr. Bennet didn't underestimate Lydia, he just told her to say it quickly, don't make a fool of yourself.

"The first method is to replace the old ones with new ones. Now the rumors have been concentrated on our family. Why, because everyone doesn't know the case, so we need to talk about the specifics of the case and find out new ones. , making everyone more interested in the situation.”

Lydia already had a very mature idea, so she said it logically.

"Specifically, the scope of people that may be involved in this case should be expanded, and not just focus on us. Let me say that the most obvious person involved is Charlotte, she..."

"Lydia, don't talk nonsense. What does Mr. Collins' death have to do with Charlotte? We can't frame others just to prevent everyone from discussing us. Talk nonsense!"

Elizabeth, who has the best relationship with Charlotte, couldn't help it, and immediately reprimanded Lydia.

"I think sister, you are the one who framed me. When did I say that Charlotte was related to the death of Mr. Collins! Did you listen to me? I said that it was related to Charlotte's Mr. Collins, and they had a relationship! "

Lydia raised her face and gave Elizabeth a sharp look.

"What's the difference between the two? Isn't it framing Charlotte?"

Elizabeth felt that she was getting angry, and Lydia was getting more and more out of tune.

"Of course there is a difference, because I have no evidence that Charlotte was related to Mr. Collins' death, otherwise I would have let the police arrest her directly. But I have evidence that Charlotte was related to Mr. Collins. The evidence is that when Mr. Collins died , he has Charlotte's silk scarf in his arms, and I have seen this scarf more than once in the hands of Mr Collins."

Lydia has been watching a show recently, so she knows a lot.

"What did you say? Do you know what you're talking about, Lydia!"

Of course Elizabeth could not accept such an answer, she did not believe that her best friend would be related to someone like Mr. Collins.

"What's strange, after all, Mr. Collins is the heir of these properties in the future. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean that Charlotte doesn't like it."

Lydia is also very angry now, being questioned all the time, or being questioned by Elizabeth, her own sister, which made her very unhappy, so she directly satirized her back.

"Lydia, how can you talk like that?"

Elizabeth stood up and yelled at Lydia.

"You can't accept this fact and ask me why? And I just want to solve our family's problems now. When did I say that I would let Charlotte bear these gossips alone? These accusations are unilaterally imposed by you On my head."

Lydia just laughed angrily, and she looked at Elizabeth as if she was watching a joke.

"Don't look at me with disappointed eyes, I'm disappointed in you. I'm your sister, can you think of me better, I don't know how I offended you, because I haven't said I have never done anything to be reprimanded by you."

Mrs. Bennet and other sisters in the family were stunned, because Lydia showed a side that no one had seen before, a sharp side.

"Elizabeth Bennet, sit down. Let Lydia finish."

Seeing that his beloved second daughter continued to target Lydia, Mr. Bennet finally spoke.

Lydia didn't hold on to Elizabeth either, she just continued with her own solution.

"As I said before, Mr. Collins has Charlotte's handkerchief on him, but that's not the only one. There is also a lady's handkerchief on him, but I can't recognize whose. Again, these are facts, And I didn't tell the police officer that Charlotte was the owner of the handkerchief, otherwise our family wouldn't be said to be like this. The reason why I said it now is that I should tell everyone! And my solution Yes, let’s talk about the handkerchief and guide the case from the perspective of love and murder. This is everyone’s favorite gossip direction. As for who the owner of the handkerchief is, it must not be someone from our family, because the police officer has ruled out our suspicion .As for the others, why don't you let everyone guess?"

"Wow! I think Lydia's method is very good!"

Katie, a lover of gossip, thinks Lydia's method is feasible.

While Lydia was drinking, Mrs. Bennet agreed.

"Baby you're so smart, just do it."

"This is a method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, so what about another thorough one?"

Mary was thinking of another way for Lydia.

"It's very simple, just spend money to go to London to hire a powerful detective to investigate the case, and find out the real culprit, then the problem will be completely solved."

Lydia's second method is very simple.

"so?"

Mary continued.

"So I'll go to London and get a detective I know and start tomorrow, no problem, father."

Lydia looked at Mr. Bennet who was thinking.

"Well, go ahead, as for the first method, I need to think again."

Mr. Bennet nodded, and went back to his study.

And Lydia also took Mrs. Smith back to her room to sort things out.

Mrs. Bennet and her four other daughters were left to express their opinions.

You don't need to listen, Lydia knows everyone's attitude.
