In order to make Bentley understand the seriousness of the matter, Mrs. Hearst had to explain the whole matter to Bentley bit by bit.

Bentley's eyes, which were completely understood, were a little confused, and it turned out that he had inadvertently taken advantage of Darcy so much. It's true that you don't have to pay too much attention to friends, but you can't blindly take advantage of it, he is not only taking advantage of himself now, but also wants to take advantage of his brother-in-law with him......

Mrs. Hearst reassured, "You don't have to think too much, I don't think Mr. Darcy will take that thing seriously." I'm telling you so much, have you listened? ”

Bentley's eyes were blank: "What? ”

Mrs. Hearst was pissed off by the sluggish brother, "I mean, you can't rely on Mr. Darcy for the rest of your life, and you're not far from being at ease—"

Bingley was immediately frustrated, and Luisa taught him that he would not have been able to earn five thousand pounds a year without Darcy's help.

Seeing that Charles listened, Mrs. Hearst breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Do you think Miss Maria is an ordinary jazz lady?" Naive! I overheard Georgiana say that Miss Maria's personal fortune was almost a hundred thousand pounds! The Bentley family has accumulated a fortune of no more than 100,000 pounds over the generations. ”

"One hundred thousand pounds?" Bingley's eyes widened in shock.

"Well, why do you think I'd let Caroline give up on Mr. Darcy so happily? After all, Mr. Darcy is a rare golden beetle son-in-law. ”

Mrs. Hearst did not hide the fact that Caroline was inferior to Miss Maria, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great to be comparable at all. For the past two days, she has watched Miss Elizabeth jump up and down trying to get Mr. Darcy's attention, and she only thinks it is ridiculous, as long as you are not stupid, you know who to choose.

Although Bentley didn't know how Miss Maria had amassed her wealth, this did not prevent him from admiring her, but Bentley had a good mentality, except for admiration and envy, he did not have any other negative emotions.

After a while, Bingley sighed, "Darcy seems to have married a God of Wealth and returned home." He was as impressed as ever with Darcy's vision.

Maria and the others, who were standing behind the bushes, stopped one after another, and Elizabeth was stunned when she heard Mrs. Hearst say that Maria had saved a hundred thousand pounds, and looked at Maria beside her in disbelief.

Maria didn't expect to encounter this situation when she was pulled out for a walk, and she was so embarrassed that she almost pulled out a villa with her foot. In the shocked eyes of Caroline and Elizabeth, Maria whispered in defense: "Actually, it's less than 100,000, Mrs. Hearst is exaggerating." ”

Georgiana, who knew the inside story, blinked cautiously, yes, the deposit was indeed less than 100,000 pounds, but Maria had more treasures of real value in her hands. As far as she knew, her brother had spent tens of thousands of pounds to buy a pair of large embroideries from Maria, and the jewellery that Maria had given her before was all worth a lot of money.

Maria was a little weak by Georgiana, she didn't rely on the system mall to make the difference with her literary value. Speaking of the value of the culture, she was obsessed with ancient Chinese jewelry a while ago, and she made it in the system mall, and the result was that the value of the culture that she had finally accumulated almost bottomed out, which is why she has been crazy about coding words recently.

As her writing skills grew, the system became picky, and Maria was forced to spend more time writing unless her novel was up to par, not allowing the system to modify the feature.

Georgiana obviously didn't know that Maria's shouting of "poor" meant the amount of literary value, but she only felt that people's hearts were not ancient, and the richer people were, the more they shouted poverty, but those old aristocrats who didn't have a few stinky money in their pockets paid attention to pomp and circumstance all day long.

Seeing her friend's eyes at her, Georgiana remained silent and did not expose her friend's old background.

Hearing such exciting news, Elizabeth had no other thoughts, and had been wondering how Maria had made all this money, and even Mrs. Hearst's attempt to sabotage Jane's good marriage was put on hold by her.

Thinking about it, Elizabeth really couldn't think of a way for Maria to get the money, so she asked Maria, "Maria, can I ask how you made a hundred thousand pounds?" ”

Without waiting for Maria's words, Darcy's face became gloomy first, and he said in a serious tone, "Miss Elizabeth, don't you think your words are too abrupt? "In this world, except for fools, who will tell irrelevant people the secret of their money.

Even Jane, who has always had a gentle personality, felt that her sister was wrong this time, and hurriedly pulled the hem of her sister's skirt and motioned for her not to ask again.

Elizabeth's face turned blue and white at Darcy's words, "I didn't want to find out any trade secrets, I just wanted to know how I could make so much money-"

Maria shook her head secretly in her heart, saying that Elizabeth was not convinced, and felt that she had lied.

Stopping Darcy who wants to continue to make trouble, Maria is very clear about Elizabeth's personality, Elizabeth is a person who says that if it sounds good, she is resilient, and if it is ugly, she is stubborn and stubborn, and she rushes into it when she sees it, just like in the original book, she doesn't believe that Elizabeth has no feelings for Darcy before, but she is just a blind eye.

"If you've read novels, you've probably heard of the author 'Miss Spectre', which is my pen name. I started my writing journey at the age of seven, and I spend thousands of pounds a year on my manuscripts; The other half of the wealth is the dividends of Darjeeling black tea, which is in cooperation with Darcy. I wonder if Miss Elizabeth still has any doubts? ”

"Miss Ghost? Oh my God, Miss Maria, you are the famous Miss Ghost, no wonder you have so much money at your disposal," Mr. Hearst looked at the young girl with amazement, "Miss Maria, you may not know that there is a strange aristocrat in the upper class, who is very fond of reading novels, and even likes to study the money these authors earn each year, and rank these authors. Congratulations, Miss Maria, you've been at the top of the charts for five years in a row. ”

Caroline didn't expect her favorite novelist to be by her side, and she was very happy: "I am so happy, Miss Maria, please be sure to sign me, I have all your books!" ”

"Not only that, but all the editions of Caroline have a collection, and most of the shelves in our study are filled with Miss Maria's masterpieces." Bingley is also very fond of Miss Spectre's novels, and it can be said that Caroline has been able to collect books so unscrupulously thanks to his support.

Maria originally thought that Miss Bingley only liked her novels because of Darcy, but she didn't expect that the other party turned out to be her own fan, which is really "life is full of surprises"!
