Wickham saw that Lydia, who was panicking and yelling because of being robbed one second, suddenly became extremely aggressive the next second.

She is like a female warrior, and she is extremely agile.

Grabbing the thief's arm with his backhand, he twisted it back with force.

"Ahh

"Lydia" grabbed the thief's arm and kicked him in the knee.

Thump!

The thief was pressed to his knees with a pained expression.

"Spare your life, ma'am, spare your life. I—I'm so hungry that I just want to steal a few pennies to buy something to eat. ”

"My sister is sick, she hasn't eaten in days, please, be kind!"

After the thief screamed, he desperately begged for mercy.

He knew he had hit a hard stubble.

Obviously, he had observed it for several days before, and he was sure that this was a young lady from a rich family who didn't know her brain very well, and such a noble lady should be delicate and harmless, how, how did she turn into a female tyrannosaurus?

Damn, he bet his arm must have been twisted and his knee broken.

But he couldn't even move, he could only be pressed like a beast.

He pretended to cry pitifully, trying to arouse the sympathy of the noble lady.

"It's too fake to cry, next time you want to deceive people, practice more acting skills first!"

"Lydia" said coldly.

However, she still let go of the hand that controlled the thief and took the cloth bag he was holding.

", Mrs. Ben is in a good mood today, so I won't be like you little gangsters. If there's a next time, I'll just break your arm!"

The thief was frightened, and he had a hunch that this noble lady, who seemed to be pampered, said that "breaking her arm" was not a threat, and she would definitely be able to do it!

It's not easy to mess with, this one is really not easy to mess with!

"Yes, yes, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!"

The thief stood up in pain, slowly rubbing his nearly broken arm.

After a few words of assurance, the thief fled in a hurry.

Wickham strangely grasped a certain point in his wife's words: Is there a next time?

Wait, they're about to move out of this dark corner and go to a mid-to-high-end hotel instead, how can Lydia have a "next time"?

Does she want to come back to this neighborhood?

Well, although Wickham felt that, with his gambling habits, the area they would live in in the future should be similar to this place.

But they are newly married now, they still have money in hand, and Bennet's family helps, and they will not be so depressed in a short time.

Wickham was so confused that he forgot to ask, "Dear Lydia, when did you become so powerful?"

Actually grabbed a thug who has been in the neighborhood all year round with his bare hands?

In other words, such agile skills, such fast, accurate and ruthless, even he, a big man who has been a soldier in the militia group, can't do it.

And Lydia, a young lady who only knows how to eat, drink and enjoy, and only knows love, how did she, how did she do it?

"......" opened his mouth, and Wickham wanted to ask the question in his heart, but when his eyes met his wife's cold gaze, he was immediately frightened back.

"Mr. Wickham, what about the thousand pounds my father gave you?"

"Lydia" said coldly, as if she hadn't seen Wickham's ghost-like expression.

"In, here!" Wickham almost instinctively pulled a check out of his jacket pocket.

"Lydia" quickly pulled the check away, looked at it, and saw that it was indeed the number, and then put the check away.

"Wait a minute, no, no, it's—" The check was snatched away before Wickham reacted.

It's his money, it's his!

He couldn't think about why he was so obedient just now.

He just wanted to get the money back quickly.

This is his gambling money, and when he takes Lydia to Longbourn and performs a "sweet and happy newlyweds" scene, he will go to the casino to have a good time.

The money is gone, what gamble is he taking?

Do you want to go to Mr. Bennet again?

Just kidding, he's married to Lydia, and he doesn't have the chips to hold Bennet's family in his hands, so what's the threat?

"Dear Mr. Wickham, if I'm not mistaken, this thousand pounds is my father's dowry!"

"Lydia" seemed to read Wickham's heart, sneered, and said coldly.

Wickham: ......

Well, this money is indeed Lydia's dowry, but in fact, it is the Bennett family's compensation for his Wikeham.

Besides, he and Lydia are husband and wife, and her dowry is naturally also his money!

"Lydia, my dear, stop making a fuss, give me the money quickly. We're going to pack our bags and meet up with Mr. Bennet. ”

Wickham smirked and coaxed in a good voice, "Lydia, aren't you really looking forward to returning to Longborn? Don't you really want to have a ball? Don't worry, these will be there, as long as we meet up with Mr. Bennet, I will satisfy you!"

And the premise is that the wife must return the money to him.

"No hurry!"

Lydia tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly.

It's just that her smile makes Wickham feel terrified.

"Dear, this—this—" What the hell is going on.

In an instant, Lydia had changed, so strange, so inexplicably afraid!

"I said, no hurry. ”

"Lydia" glanced at the alley, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Wickham's arm, "Mr. Wickham, my father always said that you are a gambler, and I did see your creditors with my own eyes, I am curious, what is so good about gambling, is it more attractive than me?"

Wickham: ......

Lydia, people can be narcissistic, but narcissism is a little ridiculous like you.

You are an idiot with an empty face, and you dare to compare your charm with gambling?

"Look at your expression, I already know the answer. ”

"Lydia" read her husband's expression, but she was not angry, but a little excited: "It seems that gambling is really magical, since this is the case, then you can take me to see it!"

"What? Lydia, what are you—what are you talking about?"

Wickham thought he might be hallucinating, and he actually heard the words "I want to go to the casino" from a young lady like his wife, who came from a middle-class gentleman's family.

Does she—does she even know what she's talking about?

Also, Is the casino a place where women can go?

Even if there are women, they are all prostitutes or mistresses.

Lydia?

The dignified Mrs. Wickham is actually going to the casino?

"What's this, I dare to elope, am I still afraid to go to the casino?"

"Lydia" looked indifferent, and her words choked Wickham even more......
