Chapter 3: "Leaving the House"
Looking at Wickham who looked pained on the bed, Georgiana's heart tugged hard, and the mood that had just calmed down rolled again. Whether Wickham eloped with her for money or something else, Georgiana was sure that the man had taken possession of her heart. She wished that she could be with Wickham, but she didn't want her brother and cousin Fitzwilliam to worry, and the confusion and confusion about the future made this weak girl cry two lines of tears again.
Colonel Fitzwilliam's turquoise eyes oozed a chill, and his right hand holding Georgiana tightened again, he was now desperate to discuss with Darcy how to punish George? Wickham is a scumbag. "Anna, let's go to the next room, Mr. Wickham has just woken up, and I think what he needs now is rest." Although the words in his mouth were discussed, Fitzwilliam's movements were not negotiable, and he held Georgiana tightly to go out. Although this action was a bit ungentlemanly, Colonel Fitzwilliam couldn't care about it anymore, he just wanted to keep his cousin out of the prodigal's sight.
After Lin Zihan's severe headache in her head disappeared, she looked up and saw a tearful Georgiana, with nostalgia and confusion in her eyes. Looking at the heartbroken girl in front of her, the throbbing in Lin Zihan's heart that belonged to Wickham instantly flooded his heart, this sudden feeling Lin Zihan couldn't suppress no matter how hard he suppressed, it was like a demon. It is undeniable that Georgiana, who is only fifteen years old, has not yet taken off the childishness of her face, and there is still a trace of cute baby fat. At this time, her blue eyes were full of tears, which made this petite person look pitiful, and Lin Zihan suddenly had the urge to take this girl into her arms and take pity on her.
Feeling Lin Zihan's gaze, Georgiana tried her best to hide her trembling chest, turned her head away, and walked out of the room quickly under the semi-forced support of Colonel Fitzwilliam. A pair of eyes on Wickham, her heart was so confused, just now the large amount of evidence in her brother's hand made her not sure for the first time whether Wickham had put her in his heart, or just for the 50,000 pound dowry? This uncertainty made her not want to face Wickham, who had once spoken sweetly to her. Fitzwilliam glanced at Lin Zihan meaningfully, then turned around and left the small hotel room.
Lin Zihan looked at the empty room, his eyes became hollow, he had to think carefully about how to go in the future. After inheriting the memory of his predecessor's body, Lin Zihan understood that Wickham did not really tempt Miss Darcy to elope with her for Miss Darcy's dowry, but really had true feelings for this childhood sweetheart who grew up together. It's just that the class concept of this era is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Wickham has no chance of marrying Miss Dutsey except for elopement.
Coupled with jealousy that Darcy was born with the golden key, Wickham came up with the trick of elopement, which could not only get Georgiana, but also damage the reputation of the Darcy family in high society, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Who would have thought that the plot would come to this place and turn out to fork in the road, and Wickham, who had nothing to do, actually stumbled and fell down the stairs, and at this time his soul had returned to heaven. And Lin Zihan, who had the same way of dying, had his soul through more than two hundred years of time and space and occupied Wickham's body.
According to the plot of the original book, Darcy chose to expel Wickham from Bloomberly Manor, and since then the life of this hapless child has gone to a point of no return. Lin Zihan secretly scolded in his heart, others crossed over to either become emperors or princes and ministers, enjoying all the glory and wealth. It's better to wear it directly to Pride and Prejudice, the only villain in the romance novel, and in the future, he will be a street rat that everyone beats. In the novel, he didn't live in the magnificent Bloomburie Manor once, and he was about to start a wandering life, which really hurts. While Lin Zihan was cursing for God's injustice, Darcy and Fitzwilliam were in another room, discussing how to punish Wickham.
Darcy asked in a deep voice, "How is Anna?" ”
Fitzwilliam sat down and rubbed his temples: "Now that my mood is a lot more stable, I have left her in the care of a servant." What we are going to talk about next must not be heard by her! ”
Darcy nodded in agreement. Although his cousin Fitzwilliam seems to be giggling and unorthodox on the surface, his mind is the most meticulous one of the Fitzwilliam family, if he is not just the youngest son of the family without inheritance, he will definitely be able to lead the Fitzwilliam family to a new height in the future.
Darcy irritated as he pulled the scarf from his neckline and said, "That's for the best." But what do I do with Wickham? He grew up with me, and no matter how much he jerked, there was always a friendship. What should I do with this unmotivated guy? ”
Fitzwilliam shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Darcy, you can't hesitate at this time!" There are no more than five people who know about it now, and besides you and me and the housekeeper of your house, there are only Wickham and the governess left. You have to know how important the honor is to a young lady, and neither you nor I can take this risk! That governess must disappear, and so must Wickham!"
Darcy's heart fluttered, and none of the children of the aristocratic family was a fuel-efficient lamp: "What are you going to do?" ”
Fitzwilliam played with the silver cane in his hand, and his face was grim: "I will send someone to dispose of that tutor tomorrow to ensure that there will be no future trouble." As for Wickham, hehe, I'm going to send him to the infantry regiment as a private! As you know, the situation on the European continent is now on the verge of breaking out, and it is only a matter of time before we, the United Kingdom of Britain, declare war on the French. When the time comes, the army will definitely have to fight in the Netherlands, and in times of war, any accident is possible. ”
Fitzwilliam's father, Earl Fitzwilliam, had a great influence in the military circles, otherwise it would not be difficult to arrange a man to fight in Europe at his current age, otherwise he would not have been able to get the rank of colonel at his current age. If Wickham disobeyed, then things would be much easier, and it was not impossible to be executed without going through a court trial with the big hat of disobeying military orders. You know, because of the French Revolution, habeas corpus has been discontinued in Britain, and the execution of a disobedient soldier is not a big deal at all.
Darcy looked a little surprised, he didn't expect his cousin to be so ruthless, he wanted to teach Wickham a lesson, but he never thought of killing himself. After all, before his father died, he promised old Darcy at his father's bed that he would take good care of Wickham in the future. Although he Darcy is not a good person, his father's last wish cannot be ignored. After thinking about it, Darcy still waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just expel Bloomberry, although Wickham is a bastard, he is also a smart man, he knows what happens when he talks nonsense everywhere!" That governess, you can do it yourself! If you betray the Darcy family, you should pay the price you deserve! ”
Fitzwilliam's expression darkened, his cousin was still not ruthless enough, fortunately, the descendants of the Darcy family were only him and Georgiana, otherwise Darcy would not be suitable to control a big family at all. Since Darcy didn't mean that, Fitzwilliam stopped insisting and said, "Okay then, Wickham you can handle it yourself." But you have to promise me that you won't wait for Georgiana to be hurt again! "Poor Lin Zihan doesn't know it yet, he has already walked around the ghost gate.
Now that they have thought of a countermeasure, the two are ready to go to Wickham's room to make a complete end to this elopement. Lin Zihan was thinking about his livelihood from Bloombury Manor in the future, when the iceberg man Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam returned to his room again. Darcy has always been straight, and this time was no different. With a cold face, Darcy said directly to Lin Zihan, who had already sat up: "Wickham, I will help you repay your gambling debts, but as a condition, you must promise to leave Bloom and never meet Georgiana again." ”
Although Lin Zihan had known such a result for a long time, Darcy's arrogant expression was too hurtful to his self-esteem! Uncle, I don't plan to eat and drink at your Bloomberry Manor, who owes whom? "Rest assured, Mr. Darcy, I will not stay at Bloombury Manor. As for that gambling debt, I'll find a way to exchange it for you in the future!" Lin Zihan was a little aggrieved, he had never gambled since he was a child, but he didn't expect that after coming to this ghost place, he would inexplicably have more than 2,000 pounds in gambling debts. That's two thousand pounds! At present, the salary of a governess is a little more than twenty pounds a year, and if you earn it on your own, it will not be enough until the year of the monkey. Fortunately, Darcy, the iceberg man, offered to help him pay it back. Well, let's just think of Wickham and Georgiana's breakup fee, someone thought shamelessly. Just thinking about it like this, Lin Zihan felt his heart throb for a while. Damn it! The feelings that belonged to Wickham began to play a role again, and because of the obsession in his heart that did not belong to him, Lin Zihan had no choice but to drive out the somewhat shameless thought just now from his mind. In this way, the heart is less twitching and painful.
Darcy and Fitzwilliam were surprised for a while, they didn't expect that Wickham, who has always been a scoundrel, would be so happy this time, so that Darcy, who had prepared several plans in his heart, had an unreal feeling, he was ready to be extorted thousands of pounds by Lin Zihan. However, it would be good if the matter could be resolved, and as for Wickham's statement that the gambling debt would be repaid later, Darcy didn't care at all. In Darcy's mind, this guy Wilkham is out of Bloomberry Manor and don't gamble anymore, thank God, how can he pay back any money!
In this way, Georgiana, under the watchful eye of Darcy and Fitzwilliam, left the town with great reluctance. And Lin Zihan, whose assets did not exceed thirty pounds, oh, is now Wickham, and began his new life in England at the end of the eighteenth century.
