[Emma] Becoming Jane Fairfax

Mr. Green pointed out her plight in the letter, expressed his sympathy, and offered to help her. As Wei Lai expected, Mr. Green once again offered to cooperate with her.If it hadn't happened, she would still consider it.

Although it has further confirmed that Mr. Green is a major suspect, so far, she has no conclusive evidence to prove that Green and Frank are behind the scenes.

Wei Lai sent a letter back to Green, expressing her concerns in the most sincere words. Mayer's reputation has been damaged. If she cooperates, it may implicate Mr. Green. At the same time, she expresses her eagerness to cooperate. .

Wei Lai sent the letter, and at the same time sent a letter to Miss Bates, asking about the situation at home, and because of Miss Bates's habit of gossiping about her parents, she would definitely write all the recent events and people who came to visit. letter.

Now all she needs to do is be patient.

After the fifth novel was published, Wei Lai received a second letter from Mr. Green. This one was much thicker than the previous one. In addition to expressing her sympathy for her again, Wei Lai also listed the conditions for cooperation. Each one seems reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you can find that all of them are restrictions on her. If she agrees, she will be like a laborer in a black workshop.

Mr. Green's face is grinning now. In his eyes, a woman who has to rely on manuscript fees for a living must be in a difficult situation. The "Daily Morning News" is about to terminate the cooperation, and she should cry and become his author.

This time, Wei Lai's reply letter was more humble and sincere, expressing her anger and dissatisfaction with the "Daily Morning Post", as well as her doubts about who stole the manuscript, hoping to further relax Greene's vigilance.

After the fifth novel was published, the sales volume was not as good as expected, and it was still affected by the "Le Monde", but compared with the "Le Monde" whose origin of the article is unclear, mainstream readers still prefer "Daily Morning News".

Lance was a little relieved, he could put down his work in London and rush to Manchester.

Mr. Lewis insisted on halving the price, and Lance had two patient talks with him but failed, so he had to put it aside for now.

As soon as Lance left, a more surprising news came out. Miss Kingsley was going to be engaged to the eldest son of the James family. At this time, Lance just left London. In the eyes of the spectators, Lance Amedeo became For the poor man who was abandoned by the Earl of Kingsley's family, he had no choice but to leave London to avoid the limelight. For a while, the Amedeo family became the object of talk and sympathy among the London population.

Strong Lady Amedeo fell ill.

Damn Kingsley and James actually released news of their engagement at this time!If the Countess and Countess of Kingsley hadn't had a strong desire to marry the Amedeo family, would she have fallen in love with the proud and arrogant Miss Kingsley?

But no one would believe that an ordinary merchant family would look down on the earl's daughter.Everyone is congratulating Miss Kingsley and Mr. James on this happy marriage. Mrs. Amedeo can't say anything. Most of her illnesses are caused by anger. She has no fever or loss of appetite. Unable to get out of bed and walk, let alone raise the door in front of her.

Lydia took care of her all day long. Mrs. Amedeo didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but Lydia's careful care still moved her. After breakfast, she spoke to her daughter for the first time these days: "My dear daughter, I cannot bear to see you marry Johnson."

Lydia looked at her blankly for a while, thinking that her mother's illness required rest, so in the following days, the task of taking care of Mrs. Amedeo was handed over to the maid.

It is even more frightening for a person who is always good-tempered to lose his temper. Mrs. Amedeo didn't see Lydia for two days, and she was flustered, so she asked the maid to help her to Lydia's room, but before she came, Lydia After going to the back garden, Mrs. Amedeo was about to leave in disappointment. She happened to see a letter on the table, which must belong to Mr. Johnson. Mrs. Amedeo grabbed it and opened it. The contents of the letter shocked her greatly. , for Jane Fairfax!

Wei Lai received a third letter from Mr. Green, urging her to agree to cooperate quickly.Mr. Green seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, the impatient tone in the letter was obvious, and he did not fall into the trap set by Wei Lai according to her expectations, and did not mention the manuscript being stolen, but he still made some omissions. Confidently gave another piece of information that the boss of "Le Monde" is related to him.

Mr. Green told her not to worry too much. He could ask the "Le Monde" to stop publishing the rest, and use a little innocuous method to make neither the "Le Monde" nor her harm.

Wei Lai sorted out Green's three letters and handed them to Lance when she came back.She learned her lesson and locked the letter and all manuscript paper in the drawer. After pulling it twice, she made sure it was locked before going downstairs.

The Campbells went to a friend's house, and she was the only one in the house. After lunch, the servant came in and said that there was a lady visiting outside the door.

Wei Lai greeted her suspiciously. An old lady got off the carriage with a haughty expression, almost looking at her through her nostrils. Wei Lai paused for a moment before realizing that it was Mrs. Amedeo.

How can she come?

Mrs. Amedeo's serious and contemptuous expression made Wei Lai believe that the visitor was not kind.Wei Lai politely invited her into the living room, but Mrs. Amedeo just glanced at her without saying a word.She sat quietly for a while, until Wei Lai brought a cup of hot tea with both hands, and then slowly said: "Miss Fairfax should know why I came to you."

Wei Lai shook his head: "Mrs. Amedeo, I am very puzzled by this."

"Don't play tricks on me, Miss Fairfax, don't waste your time and mine, I know what you've done to get near my son. I'm amazed at the scheming of such a young lady, see Times have changed, and some people of low birth have been made worse."

Anyone who listened to Mrs. Amedeo's words would be angry. Wei Lai was insulted and insulted, and he didn't have a good temper: "Mrs. Amedeo, please be frank, you don't want me to waste your precious time, I don't have time to listen to your unreasonable ridicule."

"You have quite a temper. Should I call you Miss Fairfax or Miss Mayer?"

Mrs. Amedeo's sudden question made Wei Lai a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down: "Ma'am, is this why you came to me? Yes, Jonas Mayer is the one who wrote for the newspaper." I'm not ashamed to use a pseudonym."

"I didn't expect you to admit it so frankly, well, at least you still have some qualities that I like. You signed a contract with the "Daily Morning News" and wrote articles for other companies in private, which is already a shameful breach of contract Behavior, I can sue you, make you compensate for the money that will never be paid in your life, and ruin your reputation, but for your honesty, I can forgive you. I just ask you to promise not to report to the "Every Day" in the future. The Morning Post, no longer using Mayer's name, a sincere apology, and most importantly, never to be near my son and daughter in any way."

Mrs. Amedeo's domineering attitude made Wei Lai very angry: "Madam, please forgive me for not agreeing to any of your requests. I have already explained this matter to Mr. Amedeo, and he believes my explanation and accepts it." My apologies, of course, nothing can be undone by just apologizing, so I am also doing my best to help Mr. Amedeo deal with this matter properly. As for what you said about getting close to your son and daughter in any way, I don't I understand what you mean."

"That's unreasonable! You stubborn girl!" Mrs. Amedeo glared at her fiercely, "Isn't it because of Lance that you contributed to the newspaper under Mayer's name? Maybe you have a bit of talent, but your means really make me People can't be respected. After you met Lance in that rural place in Highbury, you must have moved your mind. He is really a man with deep thoughts. However, let me tell you, Lance was not born with your background If you are married, you'd better put yourself in the right position and don't try to confuse him."

"I can't agree with everything you say. I didn't know Mr. Amedeo was the boss when I wrote for the Morning Post, and he didn't know I was Mayer. You said I was trying to confuse him. Ha! There is nothing more ridiculous than this. Mrs. Amedeo, I respect you as an elder, but please don't come from a lowly background. My father is a hero who died for the country, and my mother is a priest. My daughter, Colonel Campbell and his wife who brought me up are also respectable people, besides, Mrs. Amedeo, you come from a family of aquaculture business, has anyone ever said that you came from a humble family?"

"How dare you! How dare you talk to me so rudely! Let me tell you, I will never agree to Lance marrying you..."

"Then please tell Mr. Amedeo." Wei Lai was impatient and interrupted her without regard to politeness. "But who do you want Mr. Amedeo to marry? Miss Kingsley?" As far as I know, Miss Kingsley chose Mr. James, Madam, I regret that your good wishes are shattered, and I think you would not come to seek Mr. Amedeo if you could influence Mr. Amedeo's wishes. me."

Before Mrs. Amedeo came, she was confident that a few words could frighten the young girl and make her promise to never pester Lance again, but the reality was different, and she fell behind: "Miss Fairfax , I'm really surprised that you are well educated according to what you say, but you are an unreasonable, selfish person, and I have never dealt with people like you."

"I've never dealt with anyone like you."

This is not a good word, Mrs. Amedeo turned pale with anger, and staying for another second would be torture to her.

Before leaving, she said to Wei Lai: "You don't want to let go, it's all because of your selfishness. Lance's situation is already very difficult, and you want to make him the laughing stock of the whole city. You really have no conscience and no shame."

When she said this, she finally returned to the appearance of a mother who was worried about her son, but Wei Lai could only sneer: "Mrs. Amedeo, I have explained the matter clearly. It is up to you whether you believe it or not. Besides, I didn't force you to Mr. Amedeo married Miss Kingsley, not to mention that I forced Miss Kingsley to get engaged to Mr. James. It is unfair for you to blame all this on me, and you also overestimated my ability. If you think that Mr. Amedeo has identified me, and marrying me will make him a joke, then, if he is with Miss Kingsley, will no one gossip?"

Madame Amedeo, unable to continue, hurried away.

Despite all the nonsense she said, Lance was right to be in a difficult situation, and Lydia's letter proves it, Lance went to Manchester, hoping to persuade the other party to delay the payment time, if Manchester can be stabilized With Sturt, he can go back to London and deal with Mr. Lewis at ease.

That night, Wei Lai received a reply from Miss Bates and a letter from Frank Churchill.

Wei Lai read Miss Bates' letter first patiently. Frank really went to Bates' house, saying that he was checking Mrs. Bates' eyes. Miss Bates praised him as a kind and promising young man, but wrote Here, Mrs. Bates changed the subject to write about Mrs. Elton.Wei Lai didn't read any further, she opened Frank's letter.

Dear Miss Jane Fairfax:

I don't know if you are still looking forward to my letter as before, but whether you are looking forward to it or not, I must write this letter.I shall leave England for Switzerland, and may not return for a year or two, but before I leave, I return to Highbury once to say good-bye to my father, Lady Weston, and friends.I am sorry for the many wrongs I have done to you and Miss Woodhouse by not daring to propose to you publicly.Happily, Miss Woodhouse never fell in love with me, and she and Mr. Knightley are engaged, and I wish her a happy marriage.

As for you, Jane, my emotions are too complex to express accurately in my pale language.I know what has happened in London lately, and you are so clever that you must have guessed it.I know your other identity, Mr. Green told me, I made a comment on Mayer's work in front of you, I feel ashamed to think about it, but Mr. Green admires your work, know I met you, so I asked me to persuade you to become his author. At that time, I was surprised by your identity and didn't agree to him, but he then asked me to try to get your manuscript, and he promised me yes To help you, but I still haven't agreed.

Mr. Green mentioned it again as we were leaving Bath, and I knew he meant it, but soon after my uncle and I returned to York, the matter was gradually forgotten.

After returning to Highbury, I passed by Bates’ house, saw the window sill of your bedroom, and knocked on the door like a ghost. Miss Bates entertained me warmly. I made an excuse that I was checking Mrs. Bates’ glasses, I have repaired Mrs. Bates's spectacles, and I can say that without arousing Miss Bates' suspicions, if so.

I was going to sit down for a while and go away, but your maid suddenly cried out: "There are mice!" I remember very well that it was a mouse. Miss and Mrs. Bates were frightened, but the maid was very brave and took the broom Into your room, the mouse slipped into your bookcase, and the maid and I took out all the books, and that's when I discovered your receipt.

I forgot what I was thinking at the time, and I can't usually remember sudden thoughts, but I took the manuscript away while the maid was not looking, and gave it to Mr. Green.

When I was in Bath, I wanted to save you. As long as you still had a little affection for me, I would propose to you publicly, but your attitude towards me was cold and alienated. I watched you walk towards another person step by step, and my heart Only anger.I did this out of anger, but when I calmed down, I realized that my behavior was shameful. I immediately asked Mr. Green to return the manuscript, but it was too late.

As for why Mr. Green did this, I think it has something to do with Mr. Alvin, who is the most profitable under his command, no longer renewing his contract with him.

.

I am about to leave England, and I don't want to go to a new land with all bad memories and emotions, so I write this letter to confess to you, and I don't expect you to forgive me.

Jane, I'm calling your name for the last time.

Goodbye.

your forever friend

frank churchill

☆, end

In the dead of night, Lydia closed the book and came out of the living room. Before she finished her yawn, she saw a black shadow in front of her. She yelled "Ah", and the book fell to the ground. The servant who heard the movement quickly brought candles. Lydia, who was still in shock, Ya then saw clearly: "Lance!"

Lance hurried home, covered in snow and dust, in an unprecedented embarrassment.Delia's heartbroken tears rolled in her eyes, and she hurriedly ordered the servant to boil the bath water.After Lance came out of the shower comfortably, Mrs. Amedeo, who had rested early, woke up and sat in the living room with Lydia waiting for him.

After seeing her son, Mrs. Amedeo first asked about the progress of the matter. Before Lance could answer in detail, she said something that shocked both Lance and Lydia, "...that Jane Fei What an uneducated man, Elfax! How dare you speak against me in that insolent tone!"

She crackled like peas, spelling out what Jane had said against her, and adding her own.

The more Lydia heard it, the more surprised she was. She was at home with her mother all day long, and she had no idea when her mother left the house.

Maybe it was Mrs. Amedeo's bad luck. What she thought was Jane's rude behavior towards her not only did not leave a bad impression on Lance, but made Lance more confident.He knew that Jane liked him, but he wasn't sure how much she liked him. She said to his mother, "I don't want to let go" to give him confidence, but he was worried that if his mother came to make a fuss, she would reject him directly when she got angry, and he was also worried that when his mother came to the door, he would reject him. , Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are at home, and she has already depended on others. Isn't it going to be more difficult now?

Mother did something stupid regardless of the consequences, and Lydia didn't even have the heart to get angry. She used to smooth things over between her mother and younger brother, but tonight she felt very tired and didn't want to say a word.

The silence of Lance and Lydia made Mrs. Amedeo a little proud. Of course, no one wants to deal with uneducated people, "Lance, you don't believe what I said before, but now you see her clearly. It's true, in the future..."

"Mom, I will invite Miss Fairfax to my house tomorrow." Lance dropped the words, as if he hadn't seen Mrs. Amedeo's shock, he got up and left the living room. Soon, there was a message in the living room. The sound of something falling.

Early the next morning, Lydia sent a letter to Jane, inviting her to visit her home in the afternoon.Before Jane came, Mrs. Amedeo finally plucked up the courage to go out to visit friends. According to her words, she would rather be blind than meet uneducated people.

Lydia greeted Wei Lai at the door, and she apologized as soon as she met: "I really didn't know that mother would go to you. I feel ashamed to say this. Dear Jane, I hope her words didn't hurt you." But how is that possible, even I, her daughter, are often hurt by her words, oh Jane, I'm so sorry."

"Lydia, honey, don't get excited, listen to me." Wei Lai patted her hand comfortingly, "I've already forgotten about that incident, really, believe me, I'm always happy about unpleasant things. I forgot it quickly, the matter has passed, let's not mention it again, okay?"

"Of course!" The two walked in while talking, and when they heard footsteps, Lance couldn't hold back and came out to meet them.

However, we haven't seen each other for a few days, it seems that we have been parted for a long time, obviously we still brushed the snow on her shoulders, and now we feel awkward again, it was Wei Lai who spoke first: "Mr. Amedeo, good afternoon."

Lydia glanced at the two of them jokingly, and drove them both into the living room with a smile, saying that she wanted to make tea, and she left first.

The fireplace in the living room was lit early in the morning, and new firewood was replaced at noon because of her visit.

The tip of Wei Lai's nose was red from the cold. He stood by the fireplace and rubbed it. When he looked up, Lance was looking at her. Wei Lai blinked and asked, "Is everything going well in Manchester?"

Lance nodded, but it didn't go well in fact. The other party was more anxious than him. He originally waited for the transaction to end and took the money to go to France, but Lance requested that the transaction be delayed, and the booked boat ticket had to be rescheduled. Let the other party reluctantly agree to a grace period of one week.

Thinking of what his mother said to her, Lance felt infinite guilt in his heart: "Miss Fairfax, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother, and I promise that she will never do such a thing again." While observing her expression, Wei Lai looked normal, Lance was relieved, but a little disappointed.

Wei Lai folded his hands obediently on his knees, and his palms were sweating layer after layer: "Did Mrs. Amedeo repeat everything I said?"

"...Yes." Langston paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, a little excited, "My mother said a lot, but I only remembered that you said that you were unwilling to let go. You promised to give me an answer, it was me Is that what you think?"

Wei Lai seemed to be holding a rabbit in his arms, and he restrained himself from laughing, "But your mother doesn't like me very much."

"... Yes, I can't lie to you, but there are many things my mother doesn't like. Many times, I can make her angry by doing nothing. I shouldn't say this as a son, but it is true. I will handle it properly, Jane, please believe me." His expression and tone became serious and convincing.

Wei Lai smiled now. Anyway, she is not afraid of Mrs. Amedeo, "Going to Manchester, I will not just stay at home, I will work."

Many factories in Manchester employ female workers, but Jane definitely didn't mean to be a female worker. Before Lance answered, Wei Lai frowned delicately, "Don't you agree? If you don't agree, I will work too."

With big eyes wide open, she looks very delicate, is this the only way she looks in front of someone she trusts?

Lance's mood became very good all of a sudden: "The factory needs manpower when it is set up, and you will be by my side when the time comes..."

Wei Lai pursed his lips and smiled, then straightened his face again: "No, I want my own office."

The two talked closer and closer; Lance was finally able to hold her hand justifiably, and kissed her lightly, like fire, Wei Lai's face burned, and the delicate hand slipped out of Lance's big hand ,"this is for you."

Four letters fell into Lance's hands.

"Frank Churchill?" Lance didn't want such a wonderful moment to be interrupted, but he still opened Frank's letter, read it at a glance and sneered disdainfully: "Did such a shameless thing, a letter That's it? If he doesn't go to Switzerland, won't he never confess his mistakes? It's too cheap to forgive him like this. He is a selfish person, I read it correctly, I miss him I should have left England by now, and it's too bad to leave! Jane, even if I were just an ordinary friend of yours, I would prevent you from marrying him, he is totally unworthy of you."

Immediately afterwards, he read three more letters from Mr. Green, and his expression became more relaxed as he read the back. After reading the third letter, he laughed, "Mr. Green is considered smart among writers, how could he do such a self-righteous thing?" Things that ruin your future?! Jane, I have thought of something with you, and the best place to start is the "Le Monde."

There are so many newspapers and magazines in London. The "Daily Morning" can only be regarded as above-average in size, and the "Le Monde" is completely inconspicuous. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp. With little effort, he found the boss of the "Le Monde", sat down to talk politely and discussed, and brought John Knightley as his lawyer, showing his attitude to deal with the matter.

The other boss is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a simple and honest face, except for a pair of eyeballs that keep rolling around, somewhat similar to Mr. Green, even the way of beating around the bush without talking about the point.

If they have the courage to use manuscripts with unknown sources, they are ready to deal with them.If Lance had a good temper, they would beat him to death. If Lance had a tough attitude, they could also admit their mistakes, saying that someone had submitted an article under an impostor, and the newspaper had no knowledge of it. In short, they had a way to clean themselves up.

The small abacus was clattering, Lance threw the letter on the table, and then asked Mr. Green to show his face, everyone was dumbfounded.

On the day Wei Lai gave him the letter, he sent someone to keep an eye on Green and almost let him run away. When he was caught, he thought he was coming to ask for a gambling debt.

However, just like that, "Le Monde" and Mr. Green still have to quibble, Lance took out Frank's letter, found the paragraph written about Green, and read it sentence by sentence, saying that it would be published in the newspaper. Green admitted.

Soon, "Le Monde" withdrew the article and published an apology in the newspaper, but kept a cautious eye, only admitting that the newspaper was negligent and someone borrowed Mayer's name.

Lance was short on time and had to deal with more important things, so he let them go.On the day when the "Le Monde" apologized, the "Daily Morning Post" also issued a statement that it did not terminate the contract with Mayer, and published Mayer's sixth novel, and the sales of the newspaper increased rapidly.

Lance took this bargaining chip and sat at the negotiating table with Mr. Lewis again. After several rounds of talks, Mr. Lewis still did not let go, but it was obvious that he was hesitating.

The first negotiation was fruitless, and the second time Mr. Lewis suddenly changed his mind, and finally the transaction was made at two-thirds of Lance's psychological price.

Lance also wondered why Mr. Lewis suddenly changed his mind, but Lydia knew, "Of course it's because of Mrs. Lewis."

The newspaper promised by Mr. Lewis has not been available for a long time. His eldest son is about to take over his property. The young Mrs. Lewis has to make more plans for herself and the child who is about to be born. At this time, Wei Lai wrote her a letter Mrs. Lewis couldn't sit still, probably because the wind blowing too hard on the pillow made Mr. Lewis let go.

The factory has not yet been set up, but the financial manager has already been found. He is the financial manager of the newspaper office. His parents have passed away, he has no wife and no children, and he is willing to go to Manchester with Lance to work hard. The money is only enough to buy the land, and the final payment for the machine cannot be paid.

Lance and Mr. Finance came out of the study, and Lydia, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, handed him a letter: "Drake is willing to help."

The previous properties of the Johnson family were all sold out when they went bankrupt. Derek Johnson and his father have been operating in India for many years. Although they have money, it is not so easy to return to London to occupy a place in all walks of life. Nowadays, industrial development is a major trend. Drake thought that investing money in Lance's factory could also solve Lance's funding problem.

This is the best of both worlds, but it touched Mrs. Amedeo's sensitive nerves. The person she once despised not only wanted to marry her daughter, but also to do business with her son. It was also unacceptable, she asked Lance to reject Drake, but before Lance said anything, Lydia got angry in a rare way: "Mom, don't do stupid things anymore! Drake doesn't remember the things we once did to you. What he has done, he is willing to help us regardless of previous suspicions, and rejected his investment, where can we borrow so much money in a short time?"

Poor Mrs. Amedeo's catastrophe is not over yet. Not long after the cooperation between Drake and Lance was negotiated, Wei Lai brought a news that she got 5000 pounds, which will also be invested in Lance's factory.

While in Bath, Colonel Campbell wrote to Mrs. Dixon, telling her daughter everything about the money from Fairfax and Owen. Mrs. Dixon wrote the same day after receiving the letter. She answered the letter, fully consenting to the return of the property belonging to Jane, but knowing the situation at home, she begged Mr. Dixon's brother in London to forward £5000, with which her dear friend would be freed from the governess. destiny.

Winter turns to spring, and the trees on the street grow green shoots. Standing in front of Campbell's house, Lance takes a deep breath. It is the first time he visits as Jane's lover, and asks Colonel Campbell and his wife to agree to his and Jane's marriage. Before the wedding, he had written to Mrs Bates at Highbury.

Lance was nervous, and Wei Lai was also nervous. The door of Colonel Campbell's study was closed tightly, and no sound could be heard. She guarded the door, her heart was about to jump out. Finally, when the door opened, Lance was relieved. She walked out with a smile, turned around and saw that Colonel Campbell was not paying attention, and quickly said in her ear: "I will take you to a place tomorrow."

Wei Lai guessed all night but couldn't figure out where it was. After he took a look, it turned out to be a greenhouse.Sunlight leaks from the glass roof, and flowers and plants of various colors enter the innermost part from the doorway. At the end is a round wooden table and two chairs. After the breeze passes, the flower branches are swaying, and the tip of the nose is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Lance led her in, and behind the round wooden table were five pots of flowers on her window sill, "I have this flower room because I saw the flowers on your window sill, do you like it?"

Wei Lai took a deep breath and took a mouthful of the fragrance of flowers. Lance held her hand and did not let go. Seeing her eyes full of joy, he felt that everything he did was worth it.

With a move in his heart, he hooked her neck, leaned over to kiss her, panted slightly and pressed against her red ear, "Let's get married quickly, the house in Manchester is ready, only one mistress is missing. "

Wei Lai patted his hand: "Where's the ring?"

Lance took out a red velvet ring box from behind her, with two pear-shaped diamond rings on the pure gold ring, "Miss Jane Fairfax, will you marry me?"

It was Lance's idea that they would be married at the church in Highbury, and he wanted to show those who had laughed at Wei Lai that they were married.

This idea was undoubtedly opposed by Mrs. Amedeo. Her son did not marry a noble lady, and it was a shame to marry Fairfax. It was useless to object, Lance and Lydia both strongly agreed, and soon sent out invitations.

Ten days ago, Lydia and Derek Johnson held a grand wedding, and now she is the happy Mrs. Johnson.

Wei Lai and Lance had to go back to Highbury to prepare for the wedding first, and the guests and relatives would come one after another later. Because of this wedding, all the hotel rooms in Highbury were fully booked.

Besides the innkeeper, the happiest was Miss Bates.Miss Bates, who is optimistic by nature, has forgotten the hurt caused by the rumor, and she has no intention of showing off in front of those who have hurt their family, but she always praises Jane's good luck when she meets everyone. Madame was not very happy.

However, the pastor's wife quickly comforted herself. Even if Jane married a young and promising wealthy businessman, it would be very shabby for her to hold a wedding in a rural place like Highbury. Maybe the Amedeo family was ruined. to marry her.

In the hope of Highbury, Wei Lai and Lance returned.Miss Bates cleaned the house early in the morning, and made a point of displaying the pair of silver candlesticks, which Waylay had bought before returning to London.

Emma and Mr Knightley were the first to visit the betrothed couple, who are also due to hold their wedding next month.

"You don't know how hard it was to get my father to agree to this marriage. My God, I don't think it's easy just thinking about it, but with the help of the Westons and my sister, my father finally said yes." Love Ma excitedly held Wei Lai's hand, and Mr. Knightley and Lance were chatting on the other side. She whispered, "Mr. Amedeo must be someone you can rely on, Jane, I'm so glad you have one Happy marriage, but it's a pity you can't live in Highbury, I heard you're going to Manchester, aren't you?"

"Yes, I will leave next month." Wei Lai began to look forward to a new life.

Although Emma sympathizes with Jane for not being able to stay in the beautiful Highbury and going to the messy Manchester with her husband, she has already obtained enough happiness compared to the governess.

Emma wished the happiness of her dear friend with all her heart, and also told Willie that Harriet had been engaged to Mr. Robert Martin since her return from London.

A week later, the wedding guests came from London and Manchester one after another, and Highbury ushered in unprecedented excitement.

Wei Lai was wearing a white wedding dress, and the veil covered his face, making it difficult to see clearly. He took Colonel Campbell's arm and walked towards Lance step by step.

Her new life is about to begin.

The author has something to say: It's over, what can I say?

Wish everyone an early year!
