Comprehensive Victoria's Secret

Chapter 36 Bad News from France

Antonio and Elizabeth could not have been hiding in the Whitechapel area.

If Elizabeth is still the naughty girl Yun Shao, then——she still can't stand the extremely dirty Whitechapel area.If the Thames River in the era of the Industrial Revolution was poisonous water for murder, then the sewers in the Whitechapel area were slow murder.

And Henry Lancaster couldn't tolerate his son's long-term absence, so Elizabeth had to go home to prepare for everything.

Joseph is a kind old man and a reliable housekeeper.He took care of the family affairs in an orderly manner, and he didn't need Elizabeth to worry about anything. Then he reported bad news to Elizabeth: "Miss, France sent a telegram saying that Madam is coming back..."

Elizabeth covered her face and completely hid her face behind her palms: "Didn't she live well in France..." Now that the UK is in a turbulent situation, her nerves are so fragile, she can't handle these things!Elizabeth was quite devastated.

"Miss, Madam's home is in England." Joseph reminded.

Elizabeth continued to cover her face: "I know..." But she still felt cheated: "Can't she be allowed to stay in France for a while, at least, until I finish dealing with the matter at hand?"

"Autumn is coming again..." Joseph's words made Elizabeth feel deeply cheated: the arrival of autumn means that the annual parliament will be held again, followed by Lun again!Don!society!pay!season!

There were so many and chaotic things this year, Elizabeth almost forgot all kinds of festivals, so old Joseph was quite conscientious.

"It's impossible for Madam not to come back..." Joseph told her simply.

Elizabeth is also very clear about this matter, but she is only taking chances... Woohoo, she can't imagine Estelle's expression anymore.

France is so close to Britain that it can fight a 100-year war. Estelle came back too fast, like a tornado.

When Elizabeth returned home after another day of futile searching, she saw Estelle smiling at her sitting on a chair in the living room.

"...!" Elizabeth was so frightened that she chose to die.

"Where's your father?"

The bullet rope in Elizabeth's sleeve was about to move: "ummm... Dungal..." She wanted to run away.

"He disappeared." Estelle said: "And you, lived outside for nearly a week."

Elizabeth suddenly realized that she had been betrayed: "Yes mother... that me... I entrusted Ron to help me..."

"He's not a good boy either." Estelle said, "Are you two taking me for a kid?"

"Look at your clothes! Am I supposed to be glad you haven't given up all decency and just run around in riding clothes?"

That's because riding clothes are the most mobile clothes in her closet...

Elizabeth glanced at Ron, who had just appeared from behind the screen, and gave him a condemning look.Ron's actions were obvious: "I tried my best to take care of myself."

Elizabeth wanted to beat him to death.

"That... Mom... I just don't want you to worry..."

"What you are doing now will only make me worry about my daughter besides my husband!" Estelle was so angry that Elizabeth shrank back in fright: "That... actually..."

"Aunt Estelle, in fact, Elizabeth can't help it. She kept her own life before and was assassinated on the bridge of the Thames River."

"What?" Estelle screamed and finally passed out.

While Mary was waking her up with smelling salts, Elizabeth and Ron sneaked away decisively.

"I think I learned from you badly." Ron was dissatisfied.

"You can choose other methods, cousin." Elizabeth smiled.

Ron stood still suddenly: "Elizabeth, I have something very important to tell you. You and Lancaster left too quickly that day, and I didn't even have time to tell you. After Holmes woke up, he didn't remember what we entrusted to him at all. , I only know that we are alumni, I didn't dare to explain to him, so I can only come back and discuss with you."

Elizabeth's pupils shrank: "Pieces of Eden!" She didn't expect that the other party would directly interfere with people's minds. From this point of view, pulling Holmes into it might implicate this world-famous detective, not Our Lady Elizabeth, Ron , she, and Antonio, even if they are not enemies, they will be targeted sooner or later, and the forerunner blood in their bodies is enough to allow them to resist the mental interference of the other party, but Holmes...

If it is said that harming others can benefit oneself, Elizabeth might do it, but Elizabeth will not subvert her own moral values ​​so much if it harms others and does not benefit herself.

"Ron, you are right. We can no longer seek help from Holmes. We don't know what will happen if this continues!" Elizabeth said, "I need to find a man named John Clerk."

"John Clark?" Ron told Elizabeth after thinking carefully, "I've heard of him."

"Oh? What kind of person is he?"

"John Clerk, gossip spread throughout England in their family because he was an illegitimate child."

"Ah...?" Elizabeth's expression was surprised: "A bastard?"

"Basically the whole of London thought so at the time, because after he was born, he didn't look like his parents, and his eyes were different colors, so his father insisted that it was the product of his mother's derailment, and then his father left his mother, After that, his mother also married someone else. So Clark had to be an apprentice, and finally inherited his mother's estate at the age of 30, and opened the Clark factory."

It really sounds like a history of struggle, and it might be quite inspirational to say it out. Juno gave Aita the chance to live. I don’t know whether he loves him or hurts him?

"And this, here you are." Ron handed Dungal the locket of Elizabeth's portrait to him.

"After the Clark factory closed down, he disappeared. I don't know where he went. Did you ask him what he was doing?"

"He is probably related to Dungall's disappearance." Elizabeth said: "I hope you will try your best to help me find his information, the more detailed the better."

"Okay." Ron said: "Don't be so nervous all the time. You are not a boy. My father will find a way to deal with the council. We are from the same family and should care about each other. During the social season, you need Buy some new clothes, go to Harrods department store in Knightsbridge, find a way to marry yourself is the most important thing you need to do now, although it is very easy to pay in cash and do not accept deposits. Not up to par. Don’t be suffocated in a small house all the time, it won’t help your activities.”

Although the mansion in the city can be compared with the country house in terms of the quality of the house and the level of furniture and decoration, its house area is far inferior to the country house built in the individual territory.

"I ordered a lot of clothes in France, and I haven't shown my face yet. I'm not fat, but I've lost a lot of weight." Elizabeth pinched her waist, which had lost a full inch: "The corset is still a little bit for me. It works."

"...I don't like the kind of figure that stretches its waist to the shape of an hourglass." Ron seemed to be indifferent to this: "But you need to do that too, Elizabeth, I don't think just one week is enough to make you You forget your old noble life."

Elizabeth tilted her head: "Ron, we are commoners. We have never had a title. The sons and daughters of nobles are just commoners."

"I will use the medals I earned for my military service. Albert promised me that as long as I can get married, he will allow me to join the army."

"Remember to protect your legs, the weather in the UK can already make people suffer from rheumatism."

"Then it makes no difference whether the legs are there or not."

"That's right, then don't protect it, at least it will only hurt."

"By the way, is there any news from the parliament?"

Ron covered his forehead with a very headache expression: "... If you must know, well, William Ewart Gladstone's life is not long, I feel that Benjamin Disraeli is going to die again Prime Minister for once, but those things will have to wait until February 2, get ready for the social season and Christmas."

This era, Elizabeth knew, was a Gladstone/Disraeli rotation, with the addition of the Marquess of Salisbury later.

After sending Ron away, Elizabeth quickly fled into the house while Estelle was not paying attention.

Oh... social season, Elizabeth really doesn't want to participate in the social season at this stall, but she has to stand in front of the full-length mirror and think about how to do the social season.

Elizabeth never thought that the meaning of a woman was to marry and have children, but in the Victorian era she could only do so.

The ideal upper-class woman is slender and a little sad, fair complexion, small and exquisite, elegant and lovely.

The problem is that Elizabeth is only 67 inches (170.18 cm) tall and can basically look down on some men in high heels... Small and exquisite wool...

She turned around in front of the mirror twice, and finally decided to go out.

Estelle had just arrived home, and wanted to put away her luggage and pack some things. Even though Mary was in charge, she would not be idle. It was a good opportunity to sneak away, so she opened the window and popped the bullet rope, and stood on the window sill.

"Huh? Liz! What are you doing!"

Elizabeth heard Estelle's exclamation, but she couldn't care less.As soon as she stepped on the window sill, she slid out with ease.

"Elizabeth Morgan!"

Elizabeth has already slid away with the bullet rope. In order to prevent Estelle from fainting, it is better not to tell her where she has been before.

The author has something to say: Ron and Antonio are the same age~ I guess everyone didn’t realize this~ They belong to people who are already completely independent, and Elizabeth is still a child in their eyes~
