"Five thousand pounds?"

Mr. Bennett took the check, identified it with Mr. Gardner, and found it to be genuine.

There is indeed an amount of five thousand pounds on it, the kind that can be cashed directly to the bank.

Realizing this, Mr. Bennet's first reaction was not surprise, but fright.

This can't be blamed on him, it's really that the daughter and son-in-law in front of him are not reliable people.

One is a selfish stupid girl who eloped for love, and the other is a bastard and liar who gambles indiscriminately.

Also, getting 5,000 pounds overnight will not be through normal means.

You know, £5,000 is a lot of money, and a rich man like Mr. Bingley earns only £5,000 a year.

And Mr. Bennett has been in business all his life, and there is only so much dowry that he can leave to his daughter, which is still the total number of five daughters combined!

"This, all this money—" Where did it all come from?

Mr. Bennett already had a lot of lawlessness and crime in his mind.

He, he was really afraid that his unlucky girl would do something terrible at the instigation of Wickham.

At that time, the reputation of their Bennett family will be completely ruined.

Lydia and Wickham, the couple, are estimated to end badly.

"It's nothing, Mr. Wickham took me to the casino yesterday—"

Anne waved her hand casually, but when the word "casino" was mentioned, her bright and bright eyes flashed with excitement.

"Casino?" Mr. Bennett felt faint in front of him.

Damn, he really didn't guess wrong, his Lydia, who was only married to Wickham for one day, was taken badly.

A married lady actually went to a casino where men mingled?

What an unseemly act it would be to spread this, if this were to get out.

They're Bennets, uh, wait, and now Lydia is no longer the Bennett daughter, but Mrs. Wickham.

Even if they lose people, people are more critical of the Wickham family.

But, if Rao is so, Bennet's family will also be gossiped about.

My head hurts and I feel like I'm having a little hard to breathe. Mr. Bennett finally realized what it was like to have a migraine that his wife was shouting about all day.

Of course, Mr. Bennet still stubbornly believes that his wife is moaning innocently, and he really has a headache!

Raising such an unconscious daughter as Lydia, he, he is really destined to worry and work.

"yes, Dad, it's the casino!"

Anne didn't seem to see Mr. Bennet's almost fainting appearance, and said excitedly: "During this time, I have always heard you and my uncle mention the casino, and I am very interested in this place. It just so happened that I was married, and I was no longer a lady who was restricted everywhere, but a lady who could bring her unmarried sister to the wedding, so yesterday on the way back to the inn, I went to the casino with Mr. Wickham!"

Mr. Bennett & Mr. Gardner: ......

These days, they always mention the casino in front of Lydia, just to tell her: the gentleman you have chosen is not a gentleman, but a gambler and liar with a bad character and a dissolute temperament!

With such an obvious focus, Lydia actually ignored it and turned to what casino to focus on?

Also, what do you mean by "I happen to be married"?

If a different girl said something like this, Mr. Bennet might be a little moved: the girl wanted to do something unseemly, but she was afraid that it would affect the family, so she endured it and got married, that's why-

After all, the current Lydia is called Lydia Wickham, not Lydia Bennet.

Even if she behaves absurdly, it is the people of the Wickham family who are ashamed, and the relationship with the Bennett family is not particularly large.

But it was Lydia who said this, hehe, forget it, if she really has a family in her heart and can take care of her relatives and sisters, she won't elope!

Compared with elopement, going to a casino to gamble does not seem to be so shocking.

However, Mr. Bennet still has a question: "Go to the casino, and you win five thousand pounds in just one night?"

Lydia had never gambled, and the first time she went to the casino, instead of losing her dress, she was able to win a huge sum of money.

It sounds like a myth.

"Of course not!"

Anne shook her head.

Before Mr. Bennet could say, "That's so," Anne shouted happily, "Seven thousand pounds!

MR BENNETT: ......

If it weren't for the shred of reason to remind himself, he would have reached out and pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

It's not a dream, so, that's true?

But why did he still think it was so dreamy?

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Wickham in a daze.

He was tempted to ask, Mr. Wickham, you don't look like a fool, Lydia, a first-time gambler, can win a huge sum of thousands of pounds.

And you, who have been in the casino for many years, have not won money, but have a lot of debt.

This time, the speechless person was replaced by Wickham, although he tried his best to maintain his original personable, handsome and funny appearance in front of the Bennett family, but, at this moment, in the face of Mr. Bennet's obvious eyes, he really couldn't hold on.

After a few laughs, Wickham said embarrassedly, "Lydia, she, she's a newbie, and in casinos, novices tend to have good luck!"

Luck?

Mr. Bennet felt that this was not simply luck, but luck.

You can win 5,000 pounds overnight, and you can be called rich overnight!

Look at the check in your hand, and then look at your relaxed and casual daughter, who is as wise and calm as Mr. Bennett, and has a hint of impulse, why don't we take the time to try it at the casino?

But soon, Mr. Bennet suppressed the absurd idea.

"Dad, you've paid off your gambling debts for Mr. Wickham, and I happen to have won some money, so take it. ”

Anne is like an upstart, and her tone is extraordinarily arrogant.

"I know you borrowed this money from Mr. Darcy, well, this man is extremely arrogant, and if I owe him money, won't I be even more shameless in front of him?"

Anne did not mention Elizabeth, nor did she have the slightest hint of self-reproach or shame.

Lydia was originally a selfish person, and she dared to elope, but she did not take the reputation and lifelong happiness of her other sisters into account.

So, if she was able to pay Mr. Darcy's debts, it would be for herself, not for anyone else!

Well, it's still the same sentence, even if Lydia is the best, but the character can't collapse.

Sure enough, hearing Anne's words, Mr. Bennet did not have the slightest doubt: it was Lydia, and she only had herself in her heart......
