Wickham saw that Lydia, who was snatching something the previous second, suddenly became extremely sharp the next second.

She is like a female warrior, extremely agile.

He grabbed the thief's arm with his backhand and twisted it back hard.

"Ah" A shrill scream echoed in this chaos and dirty alley.

"Lydia" twisted the thief's arm and raised his feet and kicked him in the knee.

thump!

The thief was pressed to kneel on the ground, with an incredible expression.

"Give me your life, madam, let me go. I, I'm so hungry, just want to steal a few pennies to buy something to eat."

"My sister is sick. She hasn't eaten for several days. Please be kind!"

After the thief screamed, he begged for mercy desperately.

He knew that he had encountered a tough guy.

He had observed it for several days before and was sure that this was a rich lady from a wealthy family who was not very clear about it. Such a noble lady should be delicate and harmless. Why did she turn into a female tyrannosaurus?

Damn it, he bet that his arm must have been twisted and his knees were broken.

But he couldn't even move, and could only be pressed tightly like a beast.

He pretended to be pitiful and howled, trying to arouse the sympathy of the noble lady.

"I'm crying too fake. I want to cheat people next time, practice my acting skills first!"

"Lydia" said coldly.

However, she let go of the hand that controlled the thief and took away the cloth bag he was pinching.

"Get out, my wife is in a good mood today, so she won't bother with you gangsters. If there is another time, I will just twist your arm off!"

The thief was so scared that he had a premonition that the noble lady who seemed to be pampered and said that "breaking her arm" was not a threat, and she would definitely do it!

It's not easy to mess with, this guy is indeed not easy to mess with!

"Yes, yes, I dare not, I will never dare again!"

The thief stood up in pain and slowly rubbed the arm that was almost broken.

After saying a few words of guarantee, the thief fled in a hurry.

But Wickham strangely grabbed a point in his wife's words: Next time?

Wait, they are about to move out of this dark corner and go to a mid-to-high-end hotel to stay. Why is Lydia still "next time"?

Does she want to come to this neighborhood again?

Well, although Wickham felt that with his gambling nature, the area they lived in in the future should be similar to this place.

But they are newlywed now, and they still have money on hand and have Bennett's family help. In a short period of time, they will not be so down and out.

Wickham had a lot of thoughts and forgot to ask, "Dear Lydia, when did you become so awesome?"

He actually grabbed a gangster who had been lying in the neighborhood with his bare hands?

By the way, even a big man who has worked as a soldier in the militia cannot do such a quick and accurate skill.

And how did Lydia, a petite lady who only knows how to eat, drink and enjoy, and only knows love?

"..." Wickham wanted to ask questions in his heart, but when his eyes touched his wife's cold gaze, he was immediately scared back.

"Mr. Wickham, where is the one thousand pounds my father gave you?"

"Lydia" said coldly as if she had not seen Wickham's expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"Here!" Wickham almost instinctively took out a check from his shirt pocket.

"Lydia" quickly took the check away and looked at it. It was true that the numbers on it were collected.

"Wait a minute, no, no, this thing-"Wickham reacted.

This is his money, it is his!

He no longer had to worry about thinking about why he was so obedient just now.

He just wanted to get the money back quickly.

This is his gambling money. When he takes Lydia to Longborn and performs a "sweet and happy newlywed couple" scene, he will go to the casino to have fun.

If the money is gone, what bet he makes?

Should I ask Mr. Bennett for another request?

Just kidding, he has married Lydia and has no bargaining chips in his hands. What threats should he use?

"Dear Mr. Wickham, if I remember correctly, this thousand pounds is the dowry my father gave me!"

"Lydia" seemed to understand Wickham's heart, sneered and said coldly.

Wickham:...

Well, this money is indeed Lydia's dowry, but in fact, it is the compensation from Bennet's family to Wickham.

Besides, he and Lydia are husband and wife, and her dowry is naturally his money!

"Lydia, dear, stop making trouble, give me the money quickly. We have to pack our luggage and meet with Mr. Bennett."

Wickham smirked and coaxed her in a angrily voice, "Lydia, aren't you looking forward to returning to Langborn? Don't you really want to hold a dance party? Don't worry, there will be all these. As long as we meet with Mr. Bennett, I will satisfy you!"

The premise is that the wife must return the money to him.

"No hurry!"

"Lydia" pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a bright smile.

However, her smile made Wickham feel terrified.

"Dear, this, this-" What's going on?

In just a moment, Lydia changed? She became so strange that she became inexplicably afraid!

"I said it, no hurry."

"Lydia" glanced at the alley where fish and dragons were mixed, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Wickham's arm. "Mr. Wickham, my father always said you are a gambler, and I did see your creditors with my own eyes. I am very curious, what is good about gambling? Is it more attractive than me?"

Wickham:...

Lydia, people can be narcissistic, but it is ridiculous to be narcissistic like you.

You are a fool with a simple face, but you dare to compete with gambling with charm?

"Looking at your expression, I already know the answer."

"Lydia" understood her husband's expression, but was not angry, but was a little excited: "It seems that gambling is really magical. Since that's the case, then you can take me to see it!"

"What? Lydia, what did you say?"

Wickham felt that he might have hallucinations. He actually heard the words "I want to go to the casino to see you" from a lady from a middle-class gentleman family like his wife.

She, do she know what she is talking about?

Also, is a casino a place where women can go?

Even if there are women, they are all prostitutes or mistresses who have disgraceful identities.

Lydia?

The dignified Mrs. Wickham actually wants to go to the casino too?

"What's the matter? I dare to elope. Are you still afraid of going to the casino?"
