Putting down the pen and paper, the maid did not immediately retreat, and stood hesitantly for a moment. It stands to reason that the guest did not tell her not to meddle in her affairs, but in the face of a helpless and unfortunate young lady, she finally decided to ask tactfully: "Do you need anything, I mean if something happens to you......" such as an argument with a gentleman who has a straight face all day.

Emma spread out the letter and almost laughed out loud when she realized it for a few seconds to hear this. She covered her mouth and coughed, the corners of her mouth curling. It's no wonder that the maid misunderstood, Mr. Darcy's face and tone just now were even stiffer than usual. After this period of honest communication, Emma was able to roughly discern what was going on in Mr. Darcy's expression. If it had been, Emma would have thought that Mr. Darcy would only help out of gentlemanly duty and duty to his friend's sister, and his stern expression would mean that he was on business. Now it seems that there is a bit of a shy ingredient in it. Although there were some misunderstandings caused by Mr. Darcy's poor expression, only she knew what Mr. Darcy really thought~

Wait, what is she thinking!, Emma jerked her distant train of thought back. Now is not the time to think about that.

The maid quietly withdrew after receiving the rejection and thanks, and Emma was the only one left in the room, and her expression became solemn again. Officer Scat is very suspicious, and the longer he is with him, the more likely he is to be in unintended danger, but it is not procedural to transfer the kidnappers to the London courts until all the criminals have been apprehended and confessed. Mr. Darcy may be aware of some special terms, and his uncle is the *official of London. Emma pondered for a moment, putting a pending question mark on the idea. Asking Mr. Darcy for advice on this matter has a certain probability of further involving Mr. Darcy in this potentially troublesome matter, which she absolutely cannot accept. The most effective way is to use unscrupulous means to silence these people forever. But murder is beyond the moral bottom line that she can accept.

Emma didn't have an idea for the time being, and instead started her brother's idea, maybe George had a more reasonable solution to this problem?

Emma didn't bother for long. Before dinner, the postman brought a letter.

Emma flipped to the second piece of paper, her eyes lit up. After reading ten lines at a glance, I have already finalized the plan in my heart.

With the help of the police officers, several loyal servants of the Kentra family who had been with him had found Emma one after another, but Mr. Thomas's house did not have rooms for everyone, only the two servants who had been found at the beginning stayed at Mr. Thomas's house temporarily, and the rest stayed in a nearby inn. Emma already has a plan, and this time there are servants from the Kentra family by her side, and the implementation of the specific plan will naturally be left to them.

The servant's room is at the back, not in the same house as the master. Emma hurried down, ready to tell the story before dinner. Not surprisingly, she saw Mr. Darcy in the living room at the top of the stairs. He sat on the couch below, with a spread book in his hand, his slender fingers occasionally turning the pages with a crunching sound. It seemed that Mr. Darcy was immersed in reading, but Emma could see at a glance that Mr. Darcy was absent-minded, and with his love for books, he would never turn the pages so roughly.

In fact, Mr. Darcy didn't read a word, thinking and paying attention distractedly upstairs. Even though Emma's footsteps were very light, he quickly heard it and looked towards the stairs.

The eyes of the two met in the air.

Emma has decided not to let Mr. Darcy meddle in the matter. It was too blunt to say so, and she had planned to say hello to Mr. Darcy on the stairs, and then pretend to be in a hurry to get out. Mr. Darcy's mind could perfectly understand what she meant. However, when it came to the actual operation, Emma stared at Mr. Darcy's eyes full of sincerity and concern, thinking about how long he had waited in silence downstairs, and the words were a little indescribable. But it's the best thing to do. She didn't stop talking, and she greeted Mr. Darcy quickly, "Mr. Darcy...... Ahh

Mr. Darcy's heart skipped a half-beat and he jerked to his feet. "Miss Kentera!"

Emma had stabilized herself, and she felt a little embarrassed. "I'm not hurt, so I'll ...... first" She couldn't say the latter words. For Mr. Darcy came over and very naturally got down on one knee and took her by the ankle.

The heartfelt blow from Mr. Darcy made Emma feel like her blood tank was half empty in an instant, and the temperature on her ankles spread all the way to her face. This was not the most intimate contact between the two, not to mention that Mr. Darcy had seen her disheveled in the cabin, and the first time she went to Bloomberg, she had a higher shame under Mr. Darcy's coat than this one (so it really took advantage of Mr. Darcy's [manual goodbye]. But this time Emma was particularly affected, and the heart of the girl who had been dead for many years seemed to be resurrected all of a sudden, bumping and jumping in her chest.

Shyness drove Emma to pull her ankle back slightly. "I'm fine. ”

If Mr. Thomas had been here, he would have congratulated Mr. Darcy on finally seeing the glimmer of hope. However, Mr. Darcy was unaware of the change in Emma's attitude, and was a little dissatisfied with her lack of cooperation. "Don't move, if there's a sprain it will aggravate the injury. As he spoke, he gently pressed Emma's ankle in a few places. "Does it hurt?"

Mr. Darcy had no selfish thoughts, and Emma quickly calmed down in an atmosphere of great integrity. "Nowhere is it, I grabbed the railing in time just now, and I shouldn't have sprained. ”

Mr. Darcy breathed a sigh of relief. Then I remembered the reason why Emma almost fell - I greeted him while walking, and I was absent-minded. Emma was casual in front of Mr. Darcy, and he didn't care, but when it came to safety, Mr. Darcy would never let his down on his request. Reassured, Mr. Darcy was ready to solemnly admonish Emma about how inappropriate her behavior was.

Seeing that Mr. Darcy was about to start preaching in exasperation, Emma put on a serious expression just in time. "I have something I want to ask you for. ”

What a cunning young lady. Emotionally, Mr. Darcy wanted to immediately warn Emma not to make any more dangerous moves, and intellectually Mr. Darcy knew that what Emma was going to say should be very important. After a brief but intense confrontation between reason and emotion, Mr. Darcy decided to get down to business first. "Absolutely. ”

After the events just now, Emma can no longer carry out the original plan. Originally, she hoped to open up the relationship between the two through this refusal, but in the past few days, because the two of them have been unable to go out to contact a lot, the two have already had too many intersections, and it may not be a good thing to continue in this state. Since Mr. Darcy has refused, it is time to distance himself. But now Emma has a new idea, and she's willing to give it a try. "If one person has some information, if the news is known to another person, it can have serious consequences for a third person, how can this happen to prevent this from happening?"

This was not what Mr. Darcy had expected, and he pondered it for a moment. The simplest answer is to ask the person with the information not to say it, but Emma's asking means that this is not possible or difficult to do. "Does the third person know the information in the hands of the person who has the information? Does the second person take the initiative to obtain the information?"

Emma immediately reacted that Mr. Darcy was thinking the same way as hers, and after being affirmed by Mr. Darcy, she felt more at ease. "A small part. Proactive acquisition. ”

Mr. Darcy made two suggestions. "Clean up in advance to ensure that information leakage will not cause serious consequences. Or put out fake news to mislead the second person. Emma had expected Mr. Darcy to ask for more specific details, but he didn't, and after the general idea, he was silent.

These days, Mr. Darcy has come to the conclusion that Emma is measured and never has nothing to do, and since he is not clear, there must be a reason why he cannot be informed, and Mr. Darcy chooses to respect and believe her. For a few seconds the feeling of uncertainty drove him to speak, and after recalling in his mind Emma's previous successful suggestions and the brilliant insights he had made in the past few days of exchange, Mr. Darcy held back.

The respect and trust that Mr. Darcy had given Emma felt. "It seems that we are completely on the same page. She hesitated, the following words were a bit of a shame for her, but she felt necessary. Lowering her voice, she continued: "Your affirmation gives me a lot of confidence. I couldn't be as calm as I am without you. Your company has been a great help to me, thank you very much. 166 Reading Network
