live with conscience

Chapter 157

As the Miss Bennets expected, after the reunion of the two Mr. Bennets, the atmosphere was very cold, even though Mrs. Bennet and the five of them had tried their best to ease the atmosphere.

But little success.

The two Mr. Bennet are in the same room, so unfamiliar that they don't even have the daily greetings and exchanges of good morning and evening.

Where there are two of them, everyone is like being in an ice cellar, always cold.

The ladies of the Bennet family tried to break the deadlock with topics that both of them were interested in, but they all failed.

After a few days, they were frustrated and gave up completely.

Even though he recuperated properly after being seriously injured, old Mr. Bennet's complexion was still not much better. The years had already carved very obvious marks on his face, gray hair, folded wrinkles, bloodless lips, When the son is not around, the body on crutches is always a bit bent.

However, as long as he met Arthur, he would be full of air.

Anyway, in the eyes of Angel (Lin Lan), this is an awkward little old man.

A little old man trying to coax a child.

Unfortunately, what he met was Arthur (Yan), and it was impossible for him to let him go down the steps. He saw Angel (Lin Lan)'s face, and he was willing to eat together on time every day, which was already very embarrassing. up.

Lin Lan didn't intend to comfort her.

Even if she could make Yan make concessions, these false copings would be better than letting them continue to be aloof and indifferent. At the very least, the old man could still think that he was naturally indifferent.

The eerie atmosphere, especially when Mr. Black came to visit with his nephews and nieces, reached its apogee.

Old Bennet was still very friendly to Mr. Black when he brought a huge check and two manor title deeds worth 11 and [-] respectively.

"Mr. Black, although the fate between us has made our acquaintance so many years late, but I can be sure that you are a gentleman with noble morals, and you will not fall under the prestige of your ancestors."

Although he still can't stand down to his son, but he is stupid to push out what others give to his son.

Even if he admits that he is not as good as his son, it doesn't matter!

Anyway, in the end, these things belonged to Bennett.

Moreover, he absolutely did not admit it, after the comparison, he was comforted.

The arrival of Blake, who brought huge profits, did not make Arthur "condescend" to spare time to come to receive him.

At least, when he came back, Arthur still supported Ahn'Qiraj and greeted him at the door.

It was also because of this that the old Bennet treated Blake very kindly.

It is said that Blake himself is the descendant of the Viscount, but for some reason, there was civil strife in the family, which led to his downfall five years ago. In order to prove himself, he gritted his teeth and prepared to go to sea. Unexpectedly, when he wandered to Braun, he would meet To Arthur Bennet, who is not like a child at all.

"I'm going to invest in you. If you need funds, come outside Bennet's house at night, and you will get what you want."

He still remembered that night, with a fluke mentality, he arrived at the designated place and got the "investment money" from the child, a box with a lock.

"I know that you will find a way to open it. I don't want more. I only need 50.00% of your harvest from this trip to the Far East, as a reward for saving your life and funding you when you were at your worst."

No need to think about it, he knew at a glance that the source of this box was not clear, 100% was secretly embezzled by this young master, otherwise, with the character of "Bennet" he had inquired about, he would never have taken such a risk Behavior.

However, even though he guessed what might happen to the boy when he took the box from Arthur, he still clutched his conscience in desperation, opened the box violently, and fled with money.

Compared with him who had nothing, the boy in the Bennet family was at most beaten or educated by his father once or twice. After all, he was the only boy in the Bennet family.

Losing a sum of money will not cause any danger to his life, and after he, Black, is accidentally captured, he will only die. For the continuation of the family, he must not fall down.

Because of this "huge sum of money", he successfully escaped the pursuers and confused the enemy. After a trip overseas, relying on the routes and connections left by his ancestors, he returned after becoming famous.

These are not the most surprising.

The most surprising thing was that he thought that his relatives were dead, but unexpectedly, his nephew and niece were still alive. Although life was a bit rough, they were still alive and healthy.

His intuition told him that this was the blessing given to him by little Bennett.

Funny and unreasonable, he believed it.

Blake believed in his intuition very much. This intuition had saved his life countless times during the dangerous trip to the Far East. Therefore, he did not intend to perfunctory at all. He would send back 50.00% of the proceeds as promised, or As perfect as possible, he used his relationship rights to actually give him two manors with high returns.

"Mr. Bennet, you are overrated. My moral character is not as good as you imagined. If it was true as you said, I would not have taken away your family's income for a year. If I hold it, I will be beaten." I came here in the mood of going out, but I didn't expect to be received and forgiven by you, I was already very surprised, so, I think, the ones with real high moral character should be you."

When he was in danger, Bennet Jr. was willing to support him. Whether it was a joke or an accident, he must sincerely thank him.

Old Bennet also thinks this is a rare person: "No, no, sir, at the moment when you become famous, you are still willing to fulfill the unsubstantiated promise at the beginning, which is enough to prove your character. If it were me , I am not sure whether I will be deceived by huge wealth."

The two elders boasted to each other, but they didn't see that Black's nephew and niece were looking at the five young ladies of the Bennet family curiously.This is the protagonist of the legendary Pride and Prejudice?

These things were when Angel (Lin Lan) fell ill again after insisting on three normal meals for a few days.

So there is no reason for Arthur (Yan) to take care of her again.

It has been said that it is an investment for the Bennet family, of course he has no interest in taking it for himself, and these human money title deeds are useless to him.

In fact, he is too lazy to deal with the boring social interactions of these humans, and instead of staying with Chaos in the room, he secretly connects to the plane to watch the live broadcast of the fate line he is interested in.

After resting enough, Lin Lan felt that she could handle dinner after she woke up again. When she appeared in the lobby, she was a little frightened when she saw a group of demons dancing wildly in the room.

The room was full of guests, quite lively, oh, except for the two destined future "brother-in-laws" she recognized, among the guests who came, the younger generation was of an appropriate age, and almost none of the original goods caught the eye.

The man's eyes were fixed on the Bennet sisters, and the woman's eyes were on the two future "brothers-in-law".

After she and Arthur (Yan) appeared, all eyes were on the two siblings.

This makes Angel (Lin Lan), who wakes up and prepares to survive the day and dinner, almost misses her foot and rolls down the stairs.

She swears that this is the first time she has seen so many "travelers", and they are all wild!

Arthur (Yan) protects Angel (Lin Lan) very presciently, and gently pushes back the hair flying to her shoulders: "Be careful."

And said in a voice that Angel (Lin Lan) only heard: "Look, isn't it interesting?"

Angel (Lin Lan) almost grabbed him by the collar and asked, "What's going on here?"

Didn't it mean that only people came for the two future "brothers-in-law"?

Looks like more are coming to the Bennets!

It's normal for so many traversers to appear in one plane? !

After seeing Arthur and Angel, Mrs. Bennet didn't care about the compliments from others, but walked up the stairs very happily, and helped Angel from Arthur's hand: "Let me introduce to you, this is the most outstanding person in our family." Sixth son Arthur and seventh daughter Angel."

Mrs. Bennet, who was carefully helping Angel down the stairs, ignored Arthur. This son hated being touched by anyone except Angel, and she was used to it.

She didn't think that this son, who was indifferent to everyone, would give her better treatment because he was under the public eye, so she had better take care of her little heart.

She was really frightened when she saw the little girl almost made a wrong foot when she went down the stairs.

"Honey, you don't need to hold on. If you feel uncomfortable, you can continue to rest in the room. My dear, seeing you like this makes me feel sad."

Angel (Lin Lan) bent her eyes and gave Mrs. Bennet a comforting smile. She didn't speak, but shook her head very positively, indicating that she was fine.

How could it be possible to shrink back when they came out.

"Oh, well, come on, let's sit down first."

Mrs. Bennet really dotes on this youngest daughter very much, almost what Angel hopes and wants to do, and she unconditionally allows it without hindering her daughter's health.

Even if the old Mr. Bennet does not allow it, the Bennet sisters absolutely believe that for Angel, she will do it for her.

The same is true for old Bennet, who always gives Angel the most and the best gifts every year.

Jealousy and envy, there must be more or less in the hearts of the sisters, but after seeing the delicate body of the younger sister, they all turned into pity.

At this moment, all the guests knew that this Miss Angel was definitely the central figure of the Bennet family. When she appeared, almost the entire Bennet family revolved around her.

It was Mrs. Bennet who helped her down the stairs, and the old Mr. Bennet who opened the seat for her, followed by Jane who wiped her sweat and took her temperature.Elizabeth, Catherine, and Delia, who laid the cushions for her seat, received thick blankets and warm milk from the servants respectively, and stood behind the eldest sister and the second sister.

It's really like the stars and the moon.

However, from her thin body and pale complexion, one could also tell that Miss Angel's health was not very good, and she should be more considerate.

Seeing the youngest daughter sitting safely, old Bennet, who also saw the little daughter almost wrong foot, asked nervously, "Anqier, how do you feel today?"

"I feel pretty good today, and I am looking forward to the dinner my mother prepared for me." What else can Angel (Lin Lan) do?He could only stare at the snickering Arthur (Yan), and continued the social conversation: "I just didn't expect that today's dinner will be so lively, why don't you introduce me, dear father."

"Oh, yes, look at me, I forgot to introduce our little angel." Old Bennet thought that the youngest daughter was a novelty guest, and that's why he lost his composure because he wanted to meet more people. Thinking this way, I feel even more guilty.

Compared with the son who has never made him feel better, the youngest daughter is simply a sweet heart that he just wants to hold in the palm of his hand. After so many years of separation between the two places, she always sends him letters, which are full of encouragement And comfort, did not blame his irresponsible father at all.

"This is Mr. Black five years ago, and next to him are his nephews and nieces, Tom and Rose. Now they are guests with the return on investment from that year."

"And our new neighbors, Mr. Bingley and his sisters who rented Netherfield Gardens, Mrs. Hess and Caroline, and Mr. Darcy who came to vacation together."

"Then these two are Mr. Duck and Mr. Philip, whom I invited from London. They are my business partners. They graduated from famous universities, and they are quite young and promising."

"Mr. Vikum and Mr. Ackerman of the militia, aren't they handsome enough?"

"The last is your mother, the daughters of Mrs. Bennet's friends in London, Diana and Daisy. They are very curious about Braun, and they heard that it is very beautiful, so they came together."

Lin Lan greeted her with a smile one by one. Except for the two future "brother-in-laws" who were nervous and serious with a hint of flattery in their eyes, other guests with "connotations" looked at her and Arthur (Yan) in the eyes , all with surprise and estimation.

It was obviously an ordinary dinner party that hadn't started yet, and Lin Lan felt that this was actually a gathering of underground party joints, spreading everywhere, and the dark excitement of finding an organization.

Under normal circumstances, knowing that everyone is not original, shouldn't you be vigilant?

Why didn't this group of wild traversers take unusual paths!

The old Mr. Bennet didn't notice all this, but said very excitedly following the interest of his youngest daughter: "I think I need to find a time to hold a dance party at the Bennet house. There are so many handsome Sir and beautiful lady, how can there be no music and food, Angel, we can invite the Lucas family and Inspector Jack to come and thank them for taking care of you. What do you think?"

In the end, old Bennet even showed a hint of flattery in his eyes, but after the words were out of his mouth, he regretted a little, because...

It is of course necessary to please the younger daughter, but he neglected his son.

Some poking son seems to hate this.

It's not that he's not happy, but that this guy will say something that will make him, the head of the family, unable to step down.

Angel (Lin Lan) saw all this and nodded in agreement: "Of course, I like dances, so the family will be very lively."

It doesn't matter to her, anyway, as long as she is uncomfortable, all this has nothing to do with her.

But Mou Ling absolutely hates this kind of boring entertainment.

Anyway, as long as it is something he hates, she will support it, there must be nothing wrong.

Arthur frowned immediately, and wanted to say something, but seeing the eagerness of all the "foreign" creatures present, he twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't make any comments.

Mr. Bingley responded immediately: "This is definitely a dance that people look forward to, but before that, can I invite everyone here to join my dance tomorrow night? I sincerely look forward to your arrival .”

After someone took the lead to speak, others expressed their willingness to go, and the atmosphere immediately became lively again.

Except for Angel (Lin Lan), who seemed to be fine, all the women in the Bennet family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the son (brother) doesn't object, I'm afraid he will speak out directly.

The Miss Bennets, who survived a crisis of family scandal, immediately changed the subject and started making dinner.

Completely cut off the glances of the few unmarried men present.

And the two future "brothers-in-law" also paid too much attention to their sweethearts and ignored the fiery gaze cast by their special admirers.

It is rare for his son not to turn his face, and several young and promising gentlemen are paying attention to their increasingly outstanding daughters, which made old Bennet very happy. After praising today's dinner arrangement, he even used a joke Asking Mrs. Bennet in a begging tone: "Mrs. Bennet, how can there be no alcohol in these happy days? Can I have a sip of whiskey?"

Unfortunately, she was ruthlessly rejected by Mrs. Bennet: "Of course not, my good lord, your body has finally recovered to the current level, and even Angel would not make such an unreasonable request. You let Angel What do you think of you?"

After meeting Angel (Lin Lan)'s condemning eyes, old Bennet could only give up: "Well, you're right, for my little angel's sake, I just need an extra steak."

Such a dialogue provoked good-natured ridicule and comfort from all.

The atmosphere of the dinner reached its climax.

All guests expressed great pleasure and satisfaction.

After seeing off the two reluctant men and the sleepy lady in Netherfield Gardens, several young guests who stayed overnight planned to take a walk in the garden together in harmony.

As the host, Bennet usually needs to accompany him, but because of "accidents", he can only send servants to follow, and let the guests go by themselves.

What is the accident?

Of course it was the Bennet Angel who suddenly "fainted" again.

After the dinner was over and the two future "brother-in-laws" were sent away, Arthur (Yan) suddenly used his original power next to Lin Lan.

Although there was no intention of attacking, it still caused Lin Lan's soul to subconsciously tense up, and the reaction on this body was to suddenly "dizzy".

In fact, Lin Lan woke up on the spot, but Yan said in her ear: "Don't you want to know why, we have to give them a reason to join forces!"

Lin Lan followed the trend and continued to faint.

The Bennet family immediately became busy, and of course they had no time to pay attention to the guests.

After being carried back to the room, the resident family doctor was invited, and Lin Lan "woke up" and said that she was fine.

In the end, only the (false) blackfaced Arthur (Yan) is left in the room, and he drives everyone out.

Hastily turned on his live broadcast, and saw several harmonious guests.

Sure enough, in a table and chairs in the garden, several guests were crying and laughing.

"Finally we've found people, our drama club." Rose Black was the most excited: "Why are we so unlucky, obviously we were just rehearsing the drama of Pride and Prejudice, and suddenly there was an earthquake, and we traveled together! I don't know where we were originally What happened to my body, can I go back!"

Tom Black didn't pick up her words, but changed the topic: "We are all together, obviously Ronaldinho and I played the leading roles, but when we got here, we turned into two brothers and sisters who were almost killed by noble descendants If it wasn't for them needing a project on the bright side, Ronaldinho and I would have explained it a long time ago, and now we have finally made it through. Ronaldinho and I came here ten years ago, when did you all come, and the time is the same ?"

Dak and Philip looked at each other, and Dak said first, "It's different. I was nine years ago, and Fat Fei was six years ago. Our bodies have already graduated for a year before arriving."

Philip complained dissatisfiedly: "Don't call me this name anymore, you're so angry, now my figure and appearance are definitely the standard of a superstar. Although I originally played a supporting role in the supporting role, you played the first supporting actor Bentley , but now we are equal competitors, and I don't accept any slander."

Diana spoke on behalf of the somewhat shy Daisy: "It was five years ago that our original body fell into the river together because of a quarrel, and was rescued by Mr. Bennet passing by. We didn't know where we had crossed."

George Wickham covered his face: "I am the worst. I am later than you. It should be me at the latest. I only came here half a year ago. This George has done everything he should and should not have done. I It's also been a long time of hard work, and I just paid off the debt owed by the original body. Didn't you see that the protagonist, Mr. Darcy, wanted to kill me with his eyes? I thought I could take advantage of my appearance and take the first step If I get the goddess Elizabeth, there will definitely be no play now, and my black history will probably be shut out by them all!"

Ackerman is fortunate: "Isn't that your real performance? You used to brag in the dormitory. If you dressed as this scumbag, how would you save your image and marry Elizabeth! Fortunately, I didn't dress like that. The idiot Collins I want to play, otherwise, I will be the worst one, why does the Bennet family have a son!"

With a son, there must be no such thing as Collins.

Rose is the most anxious: "What do you mean? Do you want to stay here? Don't you want to go back?"

Diana rolled her eyes: "Except for you, Miss Luo, who is a high-ranking, winner in life, who would want to go back here? After we go back, we are still a group of college students who are unemployed as soon as they graduate. Here, the worst of us are the descendants of wealthy businessmen. Especially their boys, the development here is definitely better than our original world, they are stupid to go back!"

Rose's face was flushed with anger: "What about your parents and family members? How sad will they be if you don't go back?! Tang Mu, you think so too?"

Tom, who was called Tang Mu by Rose, nodded affirmatively under everyone's teasing eyes: "Yes, Xiao Luo, I also decided to stay here, Uncle Blake is impossible to have offspring, I am now He is a legitimate heir to the nobility, and he will have a huge inheritance in the future..."

Rose interrupted rudely: "Then what about the promise you made to me? It's clearly decided. You will get married when you graduate. You are both only children. You have already agreed to pick up your parents and fight together. Now we are Brother and sister! Haven't you thought about your parents? You too..."

All she got in exchange for her anger was diversion and silence from everyone present.

Rose took a deep breath: "Okay, you have the path you want to go, I won't stop you, but I must find a way to go back, no matter how good this place is, I don't care if I can be a concubine or even a queen... "

All of this was seen by Yan and Lin Lan.

Yan was very excited: "See, Xiaolan, how interesting, the lamb who has gone astray~ It doesn't know what it will pay... I like to see the struggling choices of creatures, you say If they knew that everything they enjoy now will come at a huge price, would they still choose to do so?"

Lin Lan: ...

What a strange habit!

Also, who gave you permission to call me Xiaolan.
