"The client knows," Mr. Darcy thought.

Emma didn't explain further. "Let's find little Charlie first. ”

Back in the drawing-room, Mr. Ashley was talking to Mrs. Ashley, who choked up and said, "My poor little Emma," and Mrs. Ashley immediately put away her tears when she saw Emma and Georgiana walk in. "Emma, Georgiana, is the view from the garden alright?"

Emma pretended not to see Mrs. Ashley's red eyes. "Of course. I think Bloomberg is the most naturally beautiful estate I've ever seen. If you see beautiful flowers and flowers that come alive in the warm sunshine and warm breeze, you won't want to go to London again. ”

Georgiana said curiously, "I heard my brother say that Manfil in Yorkshire is bigger than Bloomberg, doesn't Mr. Kentler like flowers?"

"It's not that I don't like it. My mother used to like to take the family for a walk in the garden, so she hired a few more gardeners for this purpose. My father often bought some precious varieties, and the garden was very beautiful at that time. Later, when she was gone, my father rarely went to the garden. We were afraid of upsetting my father, so we rarely went for walks. ”

Georgiana looked apologetic: "I'm sorry. Emma patted her hand lightly and signaled that it was okay.

Mrs. Ashley sobbed. "Yes, my sister likes flowers and plants the most. Before I got married, at home, she also liked to take me to the garden for a walk and read a book. ”

Emma handed over a handkerchief: "Don't be sad, auntie. I watched my mother get killed. She stared carefully at Mrs. Ashley's every expression, and said slowly, "Actually, there was a time when I resented my father, if my father hadn't been involved in that matter. Mom won't die. ”

Mrs. Ashley shook slightly, her expression was very painful, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Child, you shouldn't think like that. When something like that happens, the saddest thing is your father. I used to be angry with my sister when I first found out about him, but it wasn't his fault. She couldn't go on with that. Mr. Ashley gently clasped her shoulders and added to her, "He is the Earl of Kentra, and he has no choice but to be on that side. Whoever stands in his position must make the same choice as him. The ones who really should be hated are the messengers, and the thugs who can do it to a noble lady and an innocent child. ”

Emma achieved her goal, withdrew her gaze and said, "Yes, I soon knew that I shouldn't have thought like that. My father seemed to be a teenager overnight, and I once saw him sneaking out into the garden at night and crying. What really kept me haunting all these years was that my mother died to protect me, and there was nothing I could do about it. ”

"Oh. Mrs. Ashley pushed her husband away and took Emma's hand. "How can you think that, my dear, how can you be so young and a lady when you have the power to resist those thugs?"

Emma covered her face: "But the feeling of being powerless to see my mother feel too painful. "She wasn't lying, the most painful point of the original Miss Kentra was indeed here. "I didn't protect my father from Clark this time, but at least I have to catch the murderer and protect my brother!"

Mrs. Ashley clung to Emma with tears streaming down her eyes, and kind-hearted Georgiana wept as well, holding Emma's other hand tightly. Although Mr. Ashley was also very moved, he still insisted on not losing his temper. In the living room where the crying sounds, he felt a little out of place, and it was easy to hold back a sentence: "Don't be sad." However, no one paid attention to him, and Mr. Ashley rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and suddenly he saw that there was a figure at the door, and when he walked over, he saw that the door was empty.

Mr. Darcy has experienced an eavesdropping incident after he was almost caught raping on the couch last night, and feels that his character and integrity are in jeopardy_(:3ゝ∠)_.

The upright Mr. Darcy certainly didn't eavesdrop on purpose. He was just about to walk in when he heard Emma say that she had seen her mother killed. It was someone else's*, and he didn't mean to offend, took a step backwards and prepared to go upstairs. Unexpectedly, I turned around and saw Mr. Butler walking from the second floor. He didn't want to see Mr. Butler at all now, Mr. Butler had been very strange since he made an excuse to send away last night, and today he chose a high-necked shirt with an expression that was even more indescribable, and he always wanted to stop talking. It was only when Mr. Butler walked slowly and with a proper pace that Mr. Darcy realized that he had finished listening to Miss Emma's*.

(Mr. Housekeeper, who walked slowly on the second floor, had a deep face: Naive little master, do you really think I didn't see you upstairs?)

When Mr. Ashley found that no one had returned to the living room, Mr. Darcy, who had hid in the utility room, came out with a slightly complicated expression. No wonder Emma has the courage and strength that other young ladies don't have. Although Emma did not cause trouble for them, he never understood Emma's desire to help herself. It turned out that she had experienced such pain at the beginning.

Mr. Darcy, who left in a hurry, did not know that he had not heard a conversation that was important to his future self.

Emma is not the kind of person who is emotionally exposed. When she is really sad and sad, she will only hide and grit her teeth to prevent tears from falling, and basically she is acting when she cries. And this time she really can't act. Why did Mrs. Ashley and Georgiana have so many tears!When the two sentimental women stopped sobbing, Emma felt like she was going to fall asleep in the comfort of Mrs. Ashley's arms

Mr. Ashley, who had been waiting for him, hurriedly walked over and patted his wife on the shoulder, and gave Emma a reassuring look. "It's all gone. I will do my best to find the murderer, although George is not related to us by blood, but I have watched him grow up, and I will not watch him be wronged and ignored. Miss Darcy, Emma's ability to come forward and accuse Clark this time proves that she has come out, and you should not be too sad for her. ”

Emma touched Georgiana's soft brown hair, and the silly girl was crying so much that she was a little out of breath. "I believe in you, it's great that you're here to help. She watched with some envy as Mrs. Ashley leaned naturally into Mr. Ashley's arms, and was admonished by the man who was not good at talking a few dry words of "don't be sad," and then burst into tears.

Lady Ashley noticed her envious look, covered her mouth and smiled, and pushed her husband. "By the way, Emma, when is your fiancé coming over?"

"I wrote to him, but his army had already gone to fight in the Americas. The sender told me that it would take at least a month for the letter to cross the ocean and then reach him, and that it might not always be delivered. ”

Lady Ashley furrowed her brows: "I can't understand why you are married. Even if you young ladies can't think about it, your father and brother should plan for you. When something like this happens, he can't come back in time to share it for you. ”

Georgiana whispered, "Emma, you're engaged so early." ”

Emma sighed helplessly. To be honest, when she first knew about this almost invisible marriage contract, she wanted to propose to dissolve it. Mr. Alvin Crews only agreed to marry the original Miss Kentra out of kindness, and had no affection for her. However, the scandal of a young lady who is not married to him is involved in elopement and a young lady who is already married is completely different. The latter can be said to be completely innocent, and the person who seduced her elopement is delusional and morally degenerate, while the former has a hard time proving her innocence. For the sake of fame, she can't help but make her marriage contract public. "Alvin and I have known each other for a long time. I don't need my future husband to be rich or noble, as long as he is willing to be nice to me and respects my differences. ”

Georgiana looked at her with some concern. Emma only said that it was appropriate, and did not speak of love. "And do you love him?"

Emma smiled: "Only on the soil of mutual respect and dedication can the flowers of love blossom." "The original Miss Kentra has very little memory of Alwin, she only knows that Alwyn is an honest big boy who is not good at coaxing girls. She couldn't really be a noblewoman who was attached to her husband for the rest of her life, and it would be best if Alvin could accept her differences and the two of them had a relationship. If not, then you can only choose a suitable reason to divorce.

On dark and dreary nights, the moon is hidden behind thick clouds, and occasionally a star or two is listlessly open. The bird also buried its head behind its wings and slept quietly.

Clark looked left and right, quickly burrowed into the study, and groped his way inside.

"Click. "What's the sound?" Clark looked back warily. At that moment, a dark figure sprang out of the corner and grabbed him by the throat.
