A thousand pounds, in just half a month, I was so easily deceived by "Lydia"!

Yes, Mr. Bennet would not be as naïve as his wife and daughter, believing that his younger daughter was going to do some big business.

Mr. Bennet felt that it was probably the youngest daughter who had squandered all the money in her hand, so she found an excuse to be partial to the family.

"Lydia" was able to cheat money successfully, and he is also responsible for this matter.

Xu is because of his youngest daughter's behavior of repaying gambling debts, which makes Mr. Bennet see some hope and feel that this daughter is not completely hopeless.

So, after returning to Longboun, he seldom talked to his wife and daughters about what happened in London, and the most they knew was that Wickham was a gambler, and he abducted Lydia to elope without regard for gentlemanly decency.

And these are basically rumors that everyone is talking about, don't look at what many people say decently, in fact, everyone has never seen it with their own eyes.

Unlike Mr. Bennet, he once met with Wickham's creditors, and he once saw Wickham's greed and shamelessness firsthand!

With a husband like Wickham, Lydia, who is not very worry-free, will also be greatly affected.

For example, Mr. Bennet never expected that their daughter, a young lady from a middle-class active squire family, would go back to a place full of sin like the casino!

It's a pity that Bennett, for various reasons, didn't explain this to his family.

It was Elizabeth, who had experienced this in London together, because she was an unmarried young lady, and Mr. Bennet tried to hide it from her.

Elizabeth just knew that Wickham was a scoundrel and Lydia was a nuisance, but no matter how many details, she didn't know.

So, when his wife said that several of them had invested in Lydia's business (including Jane and Elizabeth), Mr. Bennet was angry and blamed himself.

He's done something wrong again!

Alas, I really shouldn't have had hope for "Lydia".

What to do business?

Hehe, their Mrs. Wickham, probably want to go to the casino to gamble again!

Mr. Bennet was tortured by this unconscious daughter, and he was a little helpless.

He really wanted to tell the stupid wife who thought that Lydia would make a lot of money and then be able to share the dividends himself, that the private money you had worked so hard to save for many years might have been squandered by this unfilial girl in the casino.

As for whether "Lydia" could kill all sides in the casino like she did in London, Mr. Bennet did not dare to think so.

What a joke.

Does "Lydia" really think she's a gambler, or is she the lucky one who can always be favored by Lady Luck?

Casinos are the kind of places where Mr. Bennet, even if he has never set foot in them, can get a glimpse of the fact that Wickham owes a huge debt.

People are the place where you do business, and at first you make money, but it is just bait for fishing.

When the fish is hooked, people will naturally no longer feed it, but eat the fish and drink the soup!

Mr. Bennett was not as keen on fishing as Mr. Gardner, but he was so knowledgeable that he could figure it out with a little thought.

Lydia went to the casino for the first time and should win!

But once she becomes addicted like Wickham, what awaits her will be to gamble all her possessions, owe a lot of debt, and then sink in hell completely.

"Ah~~"

Mr. Bennet rubbed his temples vigorously, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know when to start!

After hesitating for a long time, he told Mrs. Bennet calmly: "We should know very well what kind of character we raised our daughter we are. Lydia doesn't know how to do business at all. ”

"However, the money has been given to her, and it is just the last friendship of our family for her. ”

"But, for one thing, I must declare, dear Mrs. Bennet, if you don't want our family to be in misery, don't give Lydia any more money in the future!"

With that, Mr. Bennet glanced at the other four daughters, "And you, my dear children, I know that you all love Lydia and believe in her. ”

"It's just, boys, Lydia isn't the Lydia of the past, she, she's Mrs. Wickham now. ”

"And Wickham's temperament, I think you should know something!"

There is no such saying in England as black as the inkman, but the principle is the same.

When you are with people of good character, you will be influenced for the better.

And vice versa!

"So, my dear Mrs. Bennet, and my children, no matter what Lydia says in the future, don't give her any more money!"

Hearing Mr. Bennet's serious words, Mrs. Bennet was unimpressed, believing her precious daughter.

Mrs. Bennet's reason for believing is even more ridiculous: her greatest wish is to marry a beautiful daughter, and Lydia, as the youngest daughter, was the first to fulfill her wish, and Lydia is a good child!

How can such a good child who can fulfill the wishes of his poor mother deceive people?

But Mr. Bennet's prejudice against Mr. Wickham led to the lovely Lydia, and Mrs. Bennet was very sad.

She instinctively wanted to open her mouth to argue for her little daughter, but as soon as she came into contact with her husband's serious and cold eyes, she swallowed back the words.

All along, no matter how ridiculous and vain she was, Mr. Bennett was at best indifferent, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he would sarcastically and mock a few words.

Mrs. Bennet had long been accustomed to such situations.

However, when Mr. Bennet no longer complains humorously, but becomes extremely indifferent, Mrs. Bennet's heart is a little drummed: perhaps, now is not the best time to say good things for Lydia!

Mrs. Bennet was silent, Jane and Elizabeth looked at each other, and finally Jane spoke softly, "Yes, Daddy!"

Maybe "Lydia" really deceived them, but they are sisters, and there is still this friendship between them.

In the future, at most, as Dad said, no longer being deceived by "Lydia".

Mary continued to be a nerd, and for her, money was far less lovely than those thick books.

It is this kind of "Qinggao" that makes it easy for her to lend the pocket money she has accumulated over the years to her little sister.

As for Katie, since "Lydia" eloped and the whole family was in a panic, she suddenly became less frivolous.

After Mr. Bennet's return, he focused on the fourth daughter again, disciplined her more, and Katie became more and more stable.

Although it is not as good as the two older sisters, it has also faded away from the recklessness and vanity of the past.

Although she was also a little distressed about the money she might have been cheated of, she still nodded obediently and agreed, "Yes, Dad!"

Seeing that his daughters were quite sensible, Mr. Bennet's heart was somewhat comforted.

If the 1,000 pounds can make the wives and daughters see the "true colors" of the Wakehams, then the money is not too unjustly spent!

Mr. Bennet was so relieved......
