Half a month later, Mrs. Bennet received a letter from Anne.

In the letter, Anne said in an excited tone: "Dear mother, can you believe that our business is going very well!"

She even exaggerated to tell Mrs. Bennet that the £1,000 she and her sisters had invested had multiplied tenfold.

"Ten thousand pounds? God, I—I'm not mistaken, am I?"

Mrs. Bennet couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the barrage of numbers.

Her ideal son-in-law, Mr. Darcy, earns £10,000 a year, and God knows how shocked and yearning she was when she first heard about it.

Her breathing became rapid.

Seeing this, Jane did not bother to discuss the contents of her sister's letter, but quickly found the sniffing salt, and then fanned Mrs. Bennet while placing it on the end of her nose.

Jane couldn't stop whispering, "Mom, relax, relax!"

Don't get too excited, otherwise, Mom's migraine will attack again.

"Huh~Huh~~"

After sniffing the salt, the pungent smell of ammonia irritated her nasal passages, and Mrs. Bennet came to her senses in an instant.

She took a few deep breaths, then grabbed Jane's hand and shouted cheerfully, "Jane, dear, you hear me, our loveliest Lydia has made a lot of money!"

And they, the investors, are also making profits!

And it's still the kind of windfall profits that are doubled and multiplied tenfold!

The thought of those pounds that exuded a charming smell made Mrs. Bennet's heart fly with excitement.

With the money, she was able to buy herself and her daughters the latest dresses, hats, and delicate lace, as well as oriental embroidery that the nobles loved.

Oh my God, they can still go on vacation.

Well, summer was approaching, and she might suggest that Mr. Bennet take the family to Winchester in the south.

Well, that's the city where the Wickhams are currently located.

Dear Mrs. Wickham also spends a great deal of space describing the prosperity and beauty of Winchester.

That's a very different place from Longborn.

There are not only merchants from all over the world, but also lovely Royal Navy officers, who are definitely much more noble than the militia in Meritun!

The thought of the grand ball, and the handsome and funny Dorkinian bachelors, made Mrs. Bennet's heart burn: she had four daughters unmarried.

"Yes, Mother, I heard you when I read the letter!" said Jane, calm and gentle.

Mr. Bennet's words still had some effect. Jane and Elizabeth spoke alone that day, and the two sisters were a little sure: perhaps, Lydia had really lied to them!

So, at this moment, listening to her mother screaming that Lydia had made a lot of money, Jane's first reaction was disbelief.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, was sharper than Jane, she didn't say it, but she was muttering in her heart: it is estimated that the second half of the letter was Lydia excitedly telling her mother that she had found a bigger and more lucrative business, and she didn't want to miss it, so she invested all the money she earned, even with interest!

Elizabeth even guessed the content of Lydia's next letter, and must have told her mother and sisters regretfully: the business had failed, and they had lost all their money!

Sure enough, Mrs. Bennett was excited and began to read the letter again.

"Oh, said the lovely Mrs. Wickham, who at a ball had befriended a couple of merchants involved in the overseas trade who had a big project to do in the near future. Lydia felt that there was a lot of potential, so she bought a ship with all the money—"

"Oh my God, it's incredible, Lydia wants to, wants to go to sea with the fleet!"

Mrs. Bennet's face changed suddenly.

Although she is an empty-minded vase, she also knows how risky it is to go to sea and do business.

England was not only full of gentlemen, shrewd merchants, but also pirates full of evil.

Although piracy is now declining, the dangers at sea are still great.

A pampered squire housewife like Mrs. Bennet could not have imagined how a pampered young lady like Lydia could survive on a difficult sea!

"What? Lydia has bought a ship and is ready to go to sea?"

Jane and Elizabeth were also taken aback, and Elizabeth, who had always been calm and calm, even stood up suddenly, rushed to Mrs. Bennet's side, and read the letter at a glance.

"Not preparation! The letter had been sent seven days earlier, and Lydia was ready to sail after writing it. At this point, she should have already set off with Wickham!"

Elizabeth read the letter quickly, and for a moment she couldn't get back to her senses, and muttered.

She never imagined that her selfish, ignorant, vain and somewhat dissolute little sister would have the courage to buy a boat and go to sea!

Engaging in overseas trade, but only those explorers do.

Elizabeth is not despising her relatives, she is really ...... From what she knew about the Wickhams, they really weren't such bold people!

"No, no, I—I'm going to tell Mr. Bennett right away, and he—he's going to do it as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Bennet was completely devoid of the excitement and ostentation she had just had, and she was very worried about her little daughter, whom she loved most. Oh, and of course the lovely son-in-law, Mr. Wickham.

They are all such lovely people, how can they mix with rude seafarers?

Not to mention the dangers of an ocean trip, Mrs. Bennet was almost terrified of a heart attack at the thought of it!

"Out to sea?"

Mr. Bennett's face was condensed, and his hand clenched the letter tightly, reading the words on it slowly.

Mr. Bennett no longer dwelled on the whimsical nature of the letter, for this is what Lydia was meant to be.

She is always a silly fantasy and has unrealistic dreams!

He was really tired, and instead of believing that the Wickhams were taking their lives, he hoped that it was just a lie they casually told in order to deceive their family.

But for some reason, Mr. Bennet had a hunch: this time, they weren't lying!

Perhaps just when the Bennett family was worried, the uneasy couple had already set sail.

"I—I'll ask a friend about it. ”

Mr. Bennet swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then said with difficulty, "If it's true, there is nothing I can do to stop it." Hope they have the best of luck!"

Other than that, Mr. Bennet really didn't know what to say.

"Woo, my poor Lydia, why are you—why are you doing this?"

Mrs. Bennet had begun to make up for the dangers that her daughter and son-in-law would encounter at sea, and that she would receive bad news from them in the near future!

The word bad news suddenly smashed into her brain, and Mrs. Bennet couldn't hold back any longer, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

"Mom!"

"Go get a doctor!"

"Oh my God, Mom, wake up!"

The Bennett family is in turmoil, and the Wickhams, whom they fear, are now leisurely sailing the seas......
