For Downing's arrival, Gardiner seemed very enthusiastic, and the two of them first lamented the sudden death of the Douglas couple for a while, and then Gardiner cut to the chase and said: "Tony, you came just in time, even if you don't come in the past two days, I will go to you." ”

"When I heard the news of Uncle Glass's death, I was so sad that I was sick for a few days, and it was too late." Tang Ning hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, what kind of excessive sadness, I think it's excessive joy." Gardiner complained in his heart, but on the surface he comforted: "You don't have to be too sad, many things are decided by God, and we can't help it." Then he turned to the topic: "This year is the year of lease renewal, because of this unfortunate thing, so the lease renewal contract has not been signed, normally speaking, Mr. Fasby is our old customer, but in the past two days a new Mr. Mark has come to rent this land, and he is willing to rent this land for twice the rent, and a lease is ten years, I think this is a good opportunity not to be missed." ”

"Since Uncle Gardiner thinks this is a rare opportunity, let's sign with this Mr. Mark." Tang Ning replied with a push.

"Okay, then let's settle it down, and I'll start going through the formalities for you." Gardiner said happily.

Because he was in a hurry to sign the lease contract, the inheritance procedures were completed quickly, which made Tang Ning not without malice speculate whether it was because the larger the amount of the contract, the higher the commission received by Giardina, so he was so motivated to work?

After everything was done, Downing knew that the moment had finally come. In the evening, Tang Ning took Elizabeth to a secluded place agreed with Terry in advance to share the spoils, but as soon as he saw Elizabeth beside Tang Ning, Terry suddenly asked in surprise: "Subi, you, why did you bring her?" ”

Taking advantage of the moment when Terry and Mark were distracted by seeing Elizabeth, Downing immediately bullied in, knocked the two unconscious with the autumn water goose feather knife, and then tied the two of them to the pillar with a rope, making sure that the bundle was extremely strong, and released Rhubarb and Rhubarb to look at the two guys separately to prevent them from breaking free suddenly, and then poured two basins of water to wake them up.

Looking at the situation in front of him and Tang Ning, who no longer had the cowering, timid and scared appearance of the past, Terry finally noticed that something was wrong, and asked Tang Ning through gritted teeth, "Who are you?" ”

"Who I am, Mr. Terry, don't you know? I'm Subi, the homeless man you found on the streets of America! Tang Ning replied with a smile.

Terry took a sip: "Don't lie to me, you have this skill, how can you be wandering on the streets?" ”

"It's none of your business, it's just that I thought it was interesting for you to ask me to do this, so I decided to cooperate with you, but now it's over." Tang Ning replied playfully.

At this time, Elizabeth couldn't help but rush over to Terry and ask, "Uncle Terry, were my parents killed by you?" ”

has reached this situation, Terry simply did not hide it, nodded calmly and replied: "That's right, I killed it, there is no point in living a person like your father, just relying on a good identity and doing nothing all day long, rather than letting him live like this, it is better to fulfill me, anyway, he has been enjoying it for so many years!" ”

"But aren't all the nobles like that, why do you want to do it to Mr. Douglas?" Tangning asked from the side.

"This is his bad luck, who let him have no son to inherit the family property, then I don't fight his idea, whose idea is it?" Terry replied confidently.

After some arguments, Downing beheaded Terry at Elizabeth's request and helped her fulfill her wish.

After weeping bitterly, Elizabeth asked Downing, "Mr. Subi, let's go back to Lane Village tomorrow after depositing money in the bank, right?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I still have something to do tomorrow, I have to go to the patent office, and then let's go back." Also, don't call me Mr. Subi anymore, lest you accidentally say it when outsiders are there. ”

Elizabeth nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Then he asked curiously, "By the way, why are you going to the patent office?" ”

"Oh, I'd like to see if some of my ideas can make money." Tang Ning replied casually, but in fact, his real purpose was to launder money for himself, otherwise he would not be able to explain where his other income came from except for land rent.

It was already two days after everything was done, and on the way back, Downing suddenly said to Elizabeth: "By the way, after you go back, you can call back the groom, the maid, and the gardener, such a big house is really not possible without these people, by the way, let them clean up the house and garden well, and then invite the neighbors to hold a small banquet." ”

Elizabeth knew that Downing wanted to use this to officially announce the change of owner of the Douglas family, and although it was a little sad about this, it was also something that had to be done, otherwise the neighbors would find it strange.

Since the house was being cleaned and renovated, Elizabeth felt very noisy, and seeing that the wind was beautiful outside, she casually put a book under her arm and prepared to go out for a walk.

After a short stroll among the sunny meadows and woods, Elizabeth felt much more relaxed and was about to find a secluded place to sit down and rest for a while, when she met another "best friend" who also came for a walk, Charlotte Lucas, the eldest lady of the Lucas family in the same village. Well, however, in the mouth of the long-tongued woman in Lane Village, she is more often referred to as "the old girl of the Lucas family who can't get married".

Elizabeth had a bit of a dowry and was beautiful, but the marriage was so difficult, while Charlotte's dowry was not as much as hers, and her appearance was ordinary, so she naturally became a dead seller in the marriage market of the gentleman class. may be because of the same disease, so the relationship between the two is very good.

So as soon as they met, Charlotte happily came up and said, "Isha, I see a lot of workers coming in and out of your house, what are you doing?" ”

"Oh, Cousin Lind wants to clean up the house and yard, and then hold a small banquet at the house and invite the neighbors to come and get together." Elizabeth said with some ostentatiousness.

"Oh, that's great, there's going to be a banquet and a dance party soon, and our village of Lane has been really lively lately." Charlotte clapped her hands and said happily.

"Prom? I didn't say we were going to have a dance party at home. Elizabeth asked, puzzled.
