"What did you say, Mr. Ferguson?" Charlotte's eyes widened in surprise, and her aqua blue eyes flashed with a watery light.

There was a flash of amazement in Mr. Ferguson's eyes, for he had always thought Miss Lucas was dignified but not pretty, but now she seemed to be narrow-minded, and she had eyes like the sky.

"Miss Lucas, allow me to propose to you again, and I hope you will give me some consideration. When you marry me, you don't have to worry about not being able to work as an editor. I have a small estate in London, maybe not big enough, but definitely big enough for us to live in in the future. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, I'm the youngest son in the family, and I was separated early in the morning, but I have a decent relationship with my two older brothers. ”

Charlotte still feels untrue, Mr. Ferguson actually proposed to her, even if she did not know much about Mr. Ferguson's family conditions, she knew that his family was definitely not simple, Maria once mentioned that Mr. Ferguson's mother seemed to be the sister of Earl Campbell, and his father was a government official and occupied a prominent position in the House of Lords.

Mrs. Lucas, who overheard it, saw that Charlotte had not moved, and was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pot, and wanted to go out to tell Charlotte to hurriedly nod her head and agree, but she was worried that she had ruined her daughter's good deeds, and her tangled face was a little distorted.

"Mr. Ferguson, you should know that marrying me will not add much to your future prospects, and I hope you will think it through, rather than a hot-headed decision, and if you regret it later, then you and I are likely to become a grudge couple."

It is undeniable that she has a crush on Mr. Ferguson in her heart, and it is because of this affection that she is willing to remind him that this is an inappropriate decision, and Charlotte does not want this gentleman to become unrecognizable in the future.

Mr. Ferguson suddenly smiled, he understood what the other party meant, she had the same feeling for herself, and Mr. Ferguson, who was affirmed by her sweetheart, became more and more heroic: "Miss Lucas, please rest assured, I will stand here to represent my determination." There is one thing that I also need to explain in advance, my family may have some small opinions about you, which will require our joint efforts in the future. ”

Charlotte had already guessed that Mr. Ferguson would have an opinion about his family, and Mr. Ferguson confessed that he knew the consequences of marrying him early on: "I would love to face all this with you." ”

Mr. Ferguson's face suddenly showed a silly smile, and he was stunned in surprise for a while.

Seeing this, Charlotte's heart became sweeter and sweeter, and it was definitely her luck to be able to marry a gentleman who had the same heart as her, and this gentleman was quite rich.

"Oh, it's just wonderful!" Mrs. Lucas, who could no longer care about etiquette, walked out merrily, "Dear Mr. Ferguson, I think you should probably go to the study and meet Sir William. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Lucas." Mr. Ferguson came back to his senses and hurriedly replied.

Sir William was naturally aware of the gentleman's arrival, and when he found that the other party had found his eldest daughter directly, he guessed the other man's intention. He has expectations for the combination of Mr. Ferguson and Charlotte, and in his eyes, wealth and family background aside, the two of them are very compatible.

Sir William said only one sentence to Mr. Ferguson's request: "As a father, I hope that you will not resent Charlotte in the future because of her ordinary appearance, meager dowry and ordinary family background, after all, you do not mind these things at this moment, and if you can guarantee that you will not be resentful in the future, then I will express my blessing to your proposal." ”

Mr. Ferguson became more and more satisfied with the upbringing of the Lucas family, and in the face of his proposal, Sir William first thought of the happiness of his daughter, rather than the improvement of the family's status, and he admired Sir William in his heart, and became more and more satisfied with this marriage: "Sir William, please rest assured, I am very aware of my choice, and I will never regret my choice." ”

When the two gentlemen walked out of the study with smiles on their faces, the whole Lucas family fell into joy.

When Charlotte learns that Mr. Ferguson's marriage proposal is related to Maria's love letter, she feels that it is very necessary for her to write a letter to Maria to express her gratitude, but she does not know where Maria has gone now, and this letter may not be sent for the time being.

Standing on a steamer on a long voyage, Maria was writing a book, unaware that her sister had been snatched away by a hungry wolf.

Old Mr. Fox knocked on Maria's door: "Dear Maria, we will soon be on the shore, hurry up and get ready." ”

"Oh, is India coming? It's just amazing! "Maria was simply too curious about India during this period.

Following her grandfather to the dining room, Maria was accosted by the previous gentleman again because of her excellent looks, which made her face somewhat unpleasant. She thinks that her intention is very clear, and she has no intention of developing a closer relationship with the other party, but the other party obviously does not understand her meaning, or the other party does not care whether she is happy or not.

Old Mr. Fox was also angry in his heart, this young man was too unsophisticated, and it seemed that they had better avoid these people in the future.

Little Mr. Lucas is no longer what it used to be, although he has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, but it is still difficult to maintain a stable state of mind when it is his sister's turn, and he was patted on the back of his hand by old Mr. Fox before he could restrain the anger in his heart.

Mr. Bentinck was not angry when he saw this, beautiful women always let men chase after him, he just enjoyed the process of hunting, as for the result, he didn't care too much, after all, when it came to his current status, there was no shortage of beautiful women to give embrace, Miss Maria Lucas, although she looked good, but in the end she was a little immature.

During the meal, Miss Greila mentioned the Taj Mahal, which was about to be demolished, and Mr. Bentink said nonchalantly: "The Taj Mahal is worth some money, after all, there are a lot of gems used in it." ”

It turned out that Mr. Bentinck's father, Lord William Bentinck, happened to be the governor of the East India Company, and it was no wonder that the other party had a faint leader posture in that group, but the other party could be regarded as the local prince of India.

Old Mr. Fox's heart suddenly froze, and it seemed that they needed to pay more attention next.

Maria was furious at their attempt to demolish the Taj Mahal, but she did not dare to show it on her face, these people she could not afford to offend, and she was obviously unable to stop them.
